1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works
One of my favorite balayage clients is a woman with black hair who wanted to add some dimension and depth to her locks.
I started by sectioning her hair and applying a lightener to the roots and mid-lengths.
Then, I painted the color on in a sweeping motion, starting at the roots and working my way down to the ends.
The result was a gorgeous, sun-kissed look that made her hair look healthy and vibrant.
I love how balayage adds dimension to the hair without looking too harsh or unnatural.
It’s perfect for black hair, as it adds a subtle, multi-dimensional look that’s perfect for everyday wear.
