You can get a much more lighter and controlled lift with foils, though if a colorist uses high volume peroxide unnecessarily in a foiled highlight, that can be damaging as well.Ī post shared by Samantha Cusick London on at 1:03am PDTįor traditional highlights, what’s the maintenance like and how often do I need to visit the salon? Matt: Balayage is typically more damaging though foils can be too! Balayage requires a stronger bleaching agent or lightener to create lift and surpass the unwanted brass tones. As balayage grows out almost undetected salon visits can be few and far between, and with it being a visual technique your colourist can avoid the overlapping. Highlights require more frequent maintenance due to obvious grow out and no matter how careful your colourist is, colour overlap during application is inevitable-that means bleaching over bleached hair which can be super damaging. That being said, I can't help feel that highlighting is more damaging long term. With either technique, make sure your colourists use Olaplex (a bond multiplier the protects the integrity of your hair whilst colouring) in the bleach to ensure minimum chemical damage happens when lightening. Samantha: Both highlighting and balayage require the use of lighting products (bleach) which if not used responsibly can cause damage. Is one technique more damaging than the other? It totally depends on what kind of result you want and how much maintenance you are willing to put in.Ī post shared by MATT REZ on at 8:42pm PDT It might be that a mix of techniques are best for you. Samantha: This is something best discussed with your hair colourist ahead of a colour appointment. Foiled highlights can pass the red and orange zones more gracefully and your colorist will have way more control of tonal outcome with traditional highlights. It will create a much more blended result, but deeper natural hair colors BEWARE-there will be red undertones as the sun would create the same. If you have virgin joe and looking for subtle highlights to break up your silhouette, balayage is the way to go. Matt:Picking which is best for you is a matter of taste and starting point. How can I tell which one-highlights or balayage-is better for my hair? Matt: The difference between balayage and foiled highlights is the lack of foil and/or wrap that packets the hair being lightened away. It's also so much quicker than traditional foiling. Lighter pieces are placed where best to complement your hair cut, facial features and skin tones making it look way more natural. Samantha: Balayage is a much more visual technique, meaning unlike highlights that follow a sectioning pattern, balayage allows your colourist to personalise your colour placement. So, w hat is the actual difference between traditional highlights and balayage? They either match the base color and/or are darker than the base color when they are weaved in.Ī post shared by Samantha Cusick London on at 6:51am PDT Basically, lowlights are never produced by a lift or lightening process. Lowlights are mistaken for a darker version of a highlight. There is a HUGE misconception of what lowlights are. Matt: Lowlights are select strands of hair like the highlight however, they are the color of the base when going darker, or darker than the base in cases when depth below the base color is being created. Lowlights are usually added through if you have been having highlights for awhile, as over time more hair is highlighted (lightened) so the dimension created by leaving woven prices of your natural colour is lost, low lights re-create that dimension. Samantha: Lowlights use the same technique as highlights but a darker colour is painted through to create a dimensional multi-tonal result. A post shared by Samantha Cusick London on at 1:07pm PDT
