“Balayage Hair High Lighting is Hot
this Summer”
Balayage hair high lighting is a hot trend this summer.  Instead of the typical foil process to high light hair, celebrity hairdressers are using this newer technique called Balayage hair high lighting, to give clients a natural sun-kissed look to strands.

Balayage, meaning ‘to sweep’ in French, is a technique that the hairdresser uses a brush to hand paint lightener onto select strands of hair, applying the lightener in a sweeping motion going from thin sections at the root to thicker sections toward the ends of hair. This creates a unique look, giving your hair high lights that look like they were put there naturally by the sun.
