That said, highlights aren’t as natural looking, they require more frequent touch ups (due to the more obvious line of growth at the root), and they can be a bit more damaging. It is effective on every hair color and can be as warm or cool as you like. Highlights can dramatically lift, brighten, and add dimension throughout all of your hair. It can also skew a little bit on the red side if your hair is dark. But it’s not a very bold hair change, it doesn’t create uniform root-to-tip color, and it may not be powerful enough to dramatically lighten darker hair (or hair that’s been colored many times). Balayage is customized, natural-looking, and low maintenance-thanks to the blended root with no obvious line of demarcation. The highlighting process is more powerful, offering a brighter color lift that makes a dramatic difference.Ī post shared by Society They both have their pros and cons.īalayage pros.
