Balayage vs. Highlights: Both Popular in Our Salon, and It’s Easy to See Why!
Let's dive into how you can keep your tresses in top-notch condition and why a visit to our award winning salon in Toronto could be your best decision this summer. Here's a breakdown of Balayage and Highlights
BALAYAGE
Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates a natural, sun-kissed look with softer, less noticeable regrowth lines. It focuses on depth and dimension, with color gradually lightening towards the ends. Plus, it requires less frequent touch-ups and is highly customizable! Our Toronto Balayage Artists are skilled in creating this beautiful, low-maintenance look.
BALAYAGE MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Use sulfate-free shampoo to keep your balayage vibrant and your hair healthy, as sulfates can strip colour and moisture.
Regular deep conditioning treatments help maintain moisture balance and shine, preventing dullness and dryness.
Minimize the use of heat styling tools and always apply a heat protectant spray to safeguard your balayage from damage.
UV rays can fade your balayage, so use hair products with UV protection or wear a hat when you're out in the sun for prolonged periods.
Schedule regular touch-ups every 8-12 weeks to keep your balayage looking fresh and blended or you can book a Gloss Toner service that allows you to enhance your current balayage and feel good as new!
BENEFITS OF BALAYAGE FOR YOU:
Balayage is relatively low maintenance, as it grows out more naturally and doesn’t create a harsh regrowth line, meaning fewer salon visits.
It allows for a customized colour tailored to your skin tone, style, and preferences, giving you a unique look.
The freehand technique used in balayage adds dimension and depth to your hair, making it look fuller and more textured.
Balayage is versatile, able to be subtle or bold, natural or dramatic, adjusting to suit any personal style.
The gradual transition of color enhances your natural hair, giving you a sun-kissed, effortless look that brightens your overall appearance.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights, on the other hand, involve sectioning the hair and applying colour usually with foils for a more uniform, dramatic contrast. This technique gives a consistent lightening effect from roots to tips and often requires more maintenance to keep those regrowth lines in check. Our Toronto Colourist team excels at creating stunning highlights that suit every style.
HIGHLIGHT MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Use a colour-safe, sulfate-free shampoo to maintain the vibrancy of your highlights and prevent colour fading.
Incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment to keep your hair hydrated and shiny, reducing dryness and brittleness.
Limit the use of heat styling tools, and always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your highlights from damage.
Protect your hair from UV rays by using products with UV protection or wearing a hat when spending extended time in the sun.
Schedule touch-ups every 8-10 weeks to keep your highlights looking fresh and well-blended.
BENEFITS OF HIGHLIGHTS FOR YOU:
Highlights add dimension and depth to your hair, creating a multi-tonal effect that enhances your natural colour.
They can brighten your overall look, giving your hair a sun-kissed appearance and making your complexion appear more radiant.
Highlights offer a customizable way to experiment with color, allowing you to add subtle or bold accents depending on your style preference.
They provide a great option for those looking to add visual interest to their hair without committing to a full-color change.
Highlights can also create the illusion of volume and movement, making fine or thin hair appear fuller and more textured.
