Baliage Hair Painting Technique

Baliage is a French hair painting technique that gives a natural sun-kissed look.

It looks really good when done by a skilled hand. When it’s done badly, it looks streaky.

Baliage (or Balayage) technique is much better than foils, which are placed very symmetrically.

When it comes to highlights, Frederic Fekkai uses the technique almost exclusively at his salons. It’s that good!

Celebrities such as Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston use this technique to get perfect golden locks.

And the best thing is that it works on all hair colors. Since less color is used, baliage is less damaging to hair.

Also, there’s a little less maintenance. When the color grows out, there is no visible line of demarcation that you get with regular foil highlighting. As a result, you can wait longer between appointments, about every two months - a big advantage in a down economy.
