A French word originating from the word balayer, means to sweep. The fairly new term in the hair industry, balayage, is a fancy term for hair painting. In realty...nothing has really changed. We have been painting color and lightener on hair for years and years. Sometimes we use foil to hold the hair in place, sometimes we just paint pieces and let it process in the natural air. Cotton, saran wrap, and foam have also been used to help us be as creative as possible while customizing each individuals own special color. So, fear not, no matter the process your Stylist uses on you, be sure to trust the process.
