Balayage, a sunkissed color painted on the hair strands' surface, is a smooth and blended stroke of color, giving you a healthy and sunny vibe. The color is gradually saturated through the section, providing the full color at very tips—the following beautiful balayage hair look made by @chelsea.palasek, one of the Hairlaya certified stylists. 

 

What is Balayage?

It's a freehand hair coloring technique that gives a blended, natural look with no noticeable regrowth lines. Balayage is a technique that doesn't use foils, so it is also called the freehand technique. Your hairstylist will hand-paint color directly onto your hair, creating a natural and blended color. 

Being a softer effect than just dyeing your hair in full allows your stylist more creativity, who may come up with inspired hues like roasted coconut, giving out a heart-melting sense for anyone who set their eyes on it. Soft and subtle, it can be amped up through bold and bright coloring while having a universally flattering effect. It's an excellent method to refresh your color, but you don't want an aggressive overhaul of your look.  

It works perfectly with hair extensions if you want little to no damage to your own hair since pretty much all the coloring and bleaching agents are used on the extensions. The best hair extensions give you more hair volume and the perfect color match, blending effortlessly with balayage hair.
