This colour is created by adding highlights of colour and tone which are lighter OR lowlights that are darker than the clients base shade to create depth, dimension and texture in all hair types…fabulous for highlighting feature points of your hairstyle, creating a WOW factor next to none!
AIR TOUCH BALAYAGE
A colour technique we can definitely expect to see more of in 2023, AirTouch balayage. The clue is in the title, this technique uses air vs traditional teasing and backcombing to help create a seamless blend. To create this look, you need to take sections of hair at a time and create tension on the longest lengths, before using the hair dryer to push the shorter hairs and internal layers down and out of the way to help create a soft blend.
