Balayage and highlights may both brighten your hair, but they create totally different vibes. If you’re torn between the two, here’s what to know before sitting in the chair.
Balayage is a freehand technique that creates a sun-kissed, natural blend from root to tip. It’s perfect for low-maintenance beauties who want dimension without frequent touch-ups. The grow-out is softer, making it ideal for people who don’t visit the salon every month.
Highlights, on the other hand, are more precise and typically start closer to the roots. They add bold contrast and brightness, great for those who love a lighter, lifted look. Your stylist can help decide based on your hair type, lifestyle, and color goals — and you really can’t go wrong with either!
