Do you want to make a change to your hair? But with so many techniques and trends out there, many of which are expensive and time consuming, what style should I choose and what is the difference between them is very important to know when choosing. To give you a better idea of what might work best for you, we collected four of the best hair trends: Ombre, sombre, balayage, or flamboyage and their differences.
This style called ombre, or ombre style highlights, it is used darker at the root and gradually lighter at the ends of your hair. The beauty of ombre hair is that it can work for any hair type or color. The idea is to make it look like the root has been growing for a few months. Duration from 3 to 4 hours.
Shady it is a more subtle version of ombre. Although it is more subtle, it takes the same amount of time to achieve shadow highlights. The color transition is much more gradual (that is, there are no demarcation lines, which means less touch-ups), which means less maintenance, and is a less expensive alternative.
Balayage It is a French word and means sweep. This technique consists of painting your hair in thicker sections and in a sweeping motion. This will make it look like the sun has naturally illuminated your hair. Because no sheets or wicks are used to apply the product, the sections are less saturated and the parting lines are less noticeable. Your hair will look just as good in a week or a month from your initial salon treatment. Duration from 30 to 90 minutes.
Flamboyage is basically the same as balayage, but the ends can be lightened up a bit more. ANDThis process incorporates elements of balayage and ombre techniques to give hair more depth and naturalness, even after your hair has grown out.
