Micro Balayage

Micro Balayage is a precision technique that creates a soft, melted root effect, blending colour seamlessly from the roots for a natural, lived-in look. Unlike traditional foiled highlights, this method allows for a more subtle transition, giving the hair a multi-tonal, dimensional result.

Why Choose Micro Balayage?

Seamless root blend – Creates a natural, low-maintenance grow-out
Varied lift & multi-tonal results – Works with multiple colours for depth
Customizable application – Can be tailored for a subtle or bold effect

This technique can be applied in different ways:
🎨 Sliced Sections – Provide more coverage, enhancing the ombré effect through the ends.
🎨 Woven Sections – Allow multiple tones to blend naturally, creating a soft, diffused result.


How to Achieve the Perfect Micro Balayage

1️⃣ Sectioning & Backcombing

Take ½-inch wide sections – Choose either a sliced or woven technique based on the desired effect.
Backcomb tightly from 2 to 3 inches from the roots to create a soft transition.

2️⃣ Colour Application

🖌 Apply colour 1 inch below the backcombing to avoid harsh lines.
🖌 Blend through the mid-lengths and ends, ensuring a gradual fade.
🖌 Use the corner of the brush to feather and blend against the hair shaft for a flawless melted root effect.

💡 For a softer transition, adjust the pressure on the brush when blending at the root area.
