Balayage is an approach to creating a customized hair color by hand-painting hair, strand by strand, to achieve a natural-looking effect. Hand painted highlights and lowlights across the entire head make for a much more natural result than what can be done with foils. In order to achieve a natural look, it is important to hand paint each strand, therefore the process can be painstakingly slow. Balayage Tape in Hair Extension is a semi-permanent extension process where small sections of hair are hand-painted using a colour mix to create a natural blended effect. With balayage, the product is not pre-coloured as with traditional hair extensions. The product is hand painted to ensure a natural look. This involves applying a small section of the full head application to create a rooty look. Once this is styled the hair extension is applied to the remaining hair. This creates a seamless, natural look.
