How Does Balayage Work?

We asked Lydia to give us some tips and she actually shared the complete process. Here’s how Lydia outlined a normal Balayage application:

Our consultation involved discussing the approach we would employ to neutralize her over processed hair from previous highlighting services. We also had to eliminate a heavy line of demarcation. We began with a global application of a demi-permanent 7.32, a soft, warm biscotti to blend the hair color and followed with a balayage application of highlights.

All formulas included olaplex to reconstruct the integrity of the color the result is a soft, yet vibrant color, with a shiny luster and very healthy finish. We styled her using Chi keratin infusion serum and aquage beyond shine spray to maintain this beautiful effect she is using pureology color fanatic instant deep conditioning masque at home after shampooing with a pureology hydrating shampoo.

And here you can see the results:
