Balayazh is a separate kind of highlighting of curls, regardless of their original color and length, where, as a result, incredibly beautiful and harmonious flow of tones one into another is formed on the strands, and more than one shade may appear on the head, but two or more tones that will be from a completely different color palette. With the help of technology with the game of color strands, it is possible not only to lighten the ends, but also, for example, to make dark roots.
For quite a long time Balayaz has won a place for itself in trendy techniques of gentle hair dyeing, starting in the 70s. For the first time, a similar version was applied to the hair by French masters, and later on, American, Brazilian and other trends appeared in the hair-dyeing technique. At that time, partially streaked strands did not win the hearts of women, so today balayazh is undergoing its second birth.
Right now, smooth color transitions in various shades are in fashion, thanks to which, if desired, you can create a harmonious image with bright and screaming shades or the most natural inclusions. However, the result will still be equally beautiful and harmonious due to the "stretching" of shades along the length of the curls.
