Prep Your Hair
– Balayage is a timeless hair-color trend that gives your hair a natural-looking glow.
– It requires minimal touch-ups and still looks great even as your roots grow.
– You’ll need gloves, Vaseline, an old towel, and a brush to do it yourself.
– Choose a dye 2-3 shades lighter than your current hair color.
Preparing Your Brush
– Fill a small bowl with warm water and soap, soak the brush, and rinse it.
– Use a boxed kit designed to lighten hair for best results.
– Use a quality shampoo and conditioner for color-safe hair care.
Applying the Dye
– Apply the dye sparingly to small sections of hair, avoiding the roots.
– Multiple applications may be needed to achieve the desired sun-kissed look.
– The processing time depends on your hair texture.
– Rinse out the dye with cold water and use toner if needed.
– Moisturize your hair with healthy hair oil.
Finishing Up
– Balayage highlights require less frequent touch-ups at the salon.
– Rinse with toning shampoo, towel dry, and style as usual.
– Maintain the ombre effect with camouflage dye every 4-6 weeks.
– Target face frame areas for easy at-home touch-ups.
