Balayage is a technique to is adaptable to blondes, brunettes, brondes and redheads. Anyone that wants natural sunkissed haircolour is the ideal client to try subtle freehand techniques. There are so many different applications for different end results. The term balayage is taken from the French word for ‘sweeping’. ‘It’s a freehand hair colouring technique that gives a blended, natural look with no harsh or obvious regrowth lines.

Balayage differs from foil highlighting because the hairdresser paints colour directly onto the hair instead of wrapping it in foil. There are no stripes and it’s all about the seamless blends and future proof vibes for low-maintenance colour that looks gorgeous as it grows out without any harsh lines or obvious roots.

In this episode, we're talking about balayage and toning strategies for redheads and why they are so different to working with Blondes, Brondes and Brunettes.

As a hairdresser, I understand there's a lot of misleading or contradictory information about hair colour formulations. It's time to stop sacrificing brightness and tone with fashion colours for grey coverage and vice versa.

It's also time to stop making every Blonde client who requests to return to their natural brunette shade a reddish brown or accidentally green.

Gold is much better suited as a Filler when transforming a Blonde to Brown than Red.

There are both warm and cool golds in every colour brand.

Cool Golds or Iridescent Violet-based Golds are better for filling light hair on a client who wants to be darker and cooler or natural results. In contrast, gold or orange-yellow golds are better for filling blonde hair to warm natural results, including copper or red.

Grey Coverage fashion colours should not contain any gold. You need to add Natural into your grey coverage fashion colours. Trust me. It works with every brand.

In this episode of the Colour Kristina Talks podcast, I discuss examples of salon scenarios where gold is your best choice, and why you need to leave it out of your grey coverage client formulas.
