 Balayage Colors

Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint. In a hair salon however, the word has become a way of life. ... This allows for a sun-kissed, natural looking hair colour, similar to what nature gives us as children. When done properly the balayage technique leaves softer, less noticeable regrowth lines.
Balayage involves color literally being painted through the hair in streaks to give it a sunkissed look.
Highlights are swept onto the hair by hand in a free-form sort of way. Highlights are concentrated at the ends of the hair rather than at the roots.

There are 8 Balayage colors - The color Name plus the designation Balayage color :
