Free Hand Balayage

Free Hand Balayage creates a subtle, sun-kissed effect, perfect for clients looking to enhance texture and movement without drastically changing their natural hair colour. However, this technique can also be used to achieve a more striking colour contrast by gradually intensifying the effect over multiple sessions.

This method is commonly known as Californian Balayage, renowned for its soft, natural blend and seamless transition from roots to ends.

How It’s Done

🎨 V-Shape Product Placement: Colour is typically applied in a V-shape at the ends of each section, allowing for a natural blend into the mid-lengths.

🌅 Contrast Control:

For a brighter, high-contrast effect, the V-shape starts higher to create an ombre effect.
For a subtler, more natural transition, the V-shape is kept lower, blending softly into the base colour.

This customizable approach makes Free Hand Balayage one of the most versatile techniques, offering endless possibilities depending on the client’s desired look.
