The Latest Blonde Balayage Trends
The Balayage hair colouring technique provides a natural looking, sun-kissed hair colour achieved through highlights and is a great introduction to hair colouring especially if you are nervous about dying your hair for the first time.
The Ombré hair colouring technique is when your hair colour gradually blends from one colour to another. It’s a great way to have fun with hair colour with the dark to light hair colour graduation. You can have the ombré hair colour technique on short, medium or long length hair.
Balayage vs Ombré
A popular question we get asked is ‘What is the difference between balayage & ombré hair colour’?
Balayage comes from the French meaning ‘to paint’ or ‘to sweep’ where Ombré hair gives a more defined colour change with darker roots becoming lighter towards the ends. Ombré hair colouring will give you a more subtle blend of colour usually ‘dark to light’ but can also include fun fashion hair colours.
We advise you pop in to the salon for a complimentary colour consultation with one of our team where they will happily discuss the best hair colouring application methods and techniques for you.
Face Frame Balayage Highlights
So, what is this new top trending hair colour? Face frame colour gives a nod to the chunky highlights seen in the ’90s with bold face framing strips of colour being added as a contrasting colour to the rest of the head. Dubbed ‘supermodel highlights’ thanks to Cindy Crawford’s popular 90’s auburn hair colour with lighter, blonde streaks around the face and Gerri Halliwell’s stand out blonde stripes.
Root Shadowing, Root Stretching & Colour Melts
If you are looking for a low maintenance hair colour then why not try root stretching or colour melting? Root stretching and colour melts are techniques used to gently blend your natural root colour with a lighter colour towards the ends.
We can stretch or ‘smudge’ your root colour and add multi-dimensional shades, growing lighter towards the tips of your hair for an on-trend hair colour look.
