3D balayage: everything you need to know about the new trend
Well complemented old
A well-known, but improved trend in coloring, which is perfectly suitable for clients in the current conditions, when not everyone is ready to visit the salon on time and regularly.
HJ magazine noted in its article about a new trend, which, in fact, is an improvement on the traditional balayage. We have translated this material for you.
From babylights to ecaille to traditional balayage, there are several color services that have stood the test of time. With some small changes, old techniques are transformed into new trends that customers will go crazy for. This is exactly what happened with 3D balayage.
The latest advancement in the balayage technique has become a huge favorite among clients looking for natural color with a luxurious feel. Thanks to the “smart” dye application technique, it creates a well-groomed look and thin hair appears thicker.
If you are not yet familiar with the appearance of this technique, it’s definitely time for you to get acquainted, as this is the ideal color scheme for the uncertain 2020. If you're working with your client's natural color palette, 3D balayage will only enhance it, especially if your clients don't make it to the salon on time. This is not scary, because balayage does not require constant adjustments, unlike the chunky highlights technique.
What is 3D balayage?
“3D balayage is a multi-tonal, dimensional use of color that adds depth and contrast to the hair, making it appear fuller and more luxurious,” said Jack Baxter, artistic director of Bad Apple Hair.
How is 3D balayage different from traditional balayage?
For 3D balayage it is important and necessary to use multiple shades. Jack also noted that “this technique involves using more than one color, maybe two or three, and ‘manipulating’ different tones of those colors to enhance the shape and balance the facial features. The technique complements the hair and makes it softer yet more powerful. The classic balayage technique typically uses one color or highlight, which gives a flatter, more ombre-like effect.”
