Have you been thinking about balayage? This hand-painted technique adds glow and movement to your hair . If you are a brunette, balayaged highlights give you caramel ribbons in your brown or black hair . For gingers, balayage can be used either to lighten into strawberry-blonde shimmer or to add extra ginger in a darker color, such as red, to add dimension and flow . Blondes are easily balayaged to create the popular "Pinterest Blonde" we see in today's mainstream media, with dark blonde roots and lightened fringe and ends . Born in the Great Recession, this method is ZERO-MAINTENANCE as it allows you to visit the salon when your time and finances allow . Because balayage is not applied to your roots, there is no grow out and you can enjoy it forever until you desire a change in cut or color . DIY TIP: Please do not lighten your hair at home. Unless you are keeping it super short and bleaching it out every two weeks, let a professional colorist take the risks instead . Bleaching at home can lead to severe breakage, scalp blisters, infection, blindness, and uneven results . Adding dark balayage is safe to do at home but hard. We only recommend trying it if you are going one shade darker and are able to maneuver weaving and foiling . Be sure to feather in the top of the color line so that it "melts" into the root .
