Hand Painted Highlights
As an alternative to foiling, Balayage offers clients a more European look. The
highlights have a softer appearance with a more natural out-growth. The
hairdresser can use creativity and artistic ability to personalize the placement of
each lightened strand.

reference to a highlighting technique brushing in a thick lightning agent with the
assistance of a paddle. This is done to create flattering and warm natural and
golden chromamodulations (mixes of colors) in the hair.
This style of lightning the hair was originally done by painting lightning agent onto
a comb and combing it into the hair. As time has passed and better product and
