Zig Zag Balayage
Zig Zag Balayage is a high-impact technique designed to create fuller, three-dimensional colour while maintaining a soft root blend. This method combines the bold contrast of an ombré effect with the seamless transition of balayage, making it perfect for clients who want a dramatic yet sophisticated result.
This technique also allows for multi-tonal colour application, as each section can be separated using foil, cling film, or mesh for precision blending.
How to Achieve the Zig Zag Balayage Look
1️⃣ Sectioning & Parting
📏 Start with a central division, working from the back upwards.
📏 Create defined zig-zag partings in 3-inch sections, ensuring depth and movement.
2️⃣ Colour Application
🖌 Apply colour only on the top of each visible section, leaving the underneath natural to enhance depth and dimension.
🖌 When placing colour near the roots, use a blending motion with freehand techniques to ensure a seamless, soft transition.
🖌 For a more multidimensional effect, alternate colours between sections, keeping them separated with foil, mesh, or cling film.
💡 The zig-zag pattern creates bold contrast while maintaining a soft, natural blend at the root area.
