What's Balayage?

Balayage is an alternative method to conventional highlights where color is painted on the hair in a free-form fashion, creating beautiful dimension.  It gives a soft sun-kissed look depending on the technique and colors used and has a gentler, softer grow-out. Balayage is a French word meaning "to sweep" because the color is swept onto the hair.
