Let's start with sectioning.

Which sectioning should be prioritized for this technique?

This avoids creating too thick of a section at the back of the head, leaving room for the mohawk section, which will fall naturally. Remember to maintain your depth zones to further emphasize your strands (2 triangles on each side after outlining at the nape).

Is the placement before cutting...

A pivotal parting in balayage creates natural-looking, blended results. This diagonal back parting mimics hair growth patterns, allowing for seamless color transitions and avoiding harsh lines. It offers versatility for customization, strategically framing the face and enhancing dimension. This technique ultimately helps achieve a softer, more organic balayage effect.

What type of strand is used to achieve this technique?

Allows for maximum impact in the lengths without creating a sharp demarcation at the root. For more impact in the front, the first strand of the money piece can be a slice without teasing.

Why is saturation so important?

Balayage thrives on a smooth, blended lift, and saturation is key! Consistent product application ensures even lift, prevents unwanted warmth and banding, and protects hair health. Just like even paint application on a canvas, proper saturation is essential for beautiful, healthy balayage results.

How many foils can we expect to use for this technique?

Using fewer foils in balayage creates softer regrowth, enhances dimension with natural color variations, and allows for gentler, open-air processing. This technique is ideal for achieving a lived-in, sun-kissed look with less defined lines of demarcation.
