If you are interested in lightening your hair colour you will typically be considering highlights vs balayage. Both highlights and balayage can be customized to fit your vision and personal sense of style; the main differences are found in application technique. If “ombré” or “lived in” highlights are what you are seeking, balayage maybe for you.

There are many different types of highlights to create the vision you want including, low lights, highlights, baby lights, money pieces, and colour melting:

• Highlights are achieved through the use of lightener applied within foil packets. The lightener is often applied closer to the root and is used to create an all over lightening of the hair rather than the “ombré” effect.

• Balayage is achieved by  applying colour or lightener in a freehand manner, rather than using traditional foiling, creating a lived-in look. 

• Babylights are very delicate highlights created by using a fine highlight mesh technique to mimic that of naturally highlighted hair from the sun.

• Lowlights are applied in the same technique as highlights, but in contrast to highlights they are used to add darker pieces of hair to give hair further dimension. Great for women going grey and not wanting to fully embrace the grey.

• Money Pieces, are smaller sections, (normally consisting of 5-10 foils) of hair that are highlighted often to give depth or a pop of colour around your face. Money Piece highlights are a great alternative on short hair to give balance and dimension.

• Colour Melting is a technique that blends highlights with the base colour of your hair. colour blends seamlessly. Multiple colours may be used to create a smooth transition and natural looking colour.
