Highlights on gray hair, also known as balayage, is a specialized hair coloring technique where unique streaks of color are hand-painted onto the strands of gray hair. This technique aims to achieve a natural-looking, dimensional effect, blending seamlessly with the existing silver or white hair.
Balayage has gained significant popularity due to its versatility, allowing for customized color applications that complement various face shapes, skin tones, and hair textures. The technique offers the advantage of low maintenance, as the blending of colors minimizes the appearance of new growth. Historically, this technique was refined in the 1970s by French hairstylists, who sought to mimic the natural lightening effects of the sun on hair.
