This gives a natural flow of shade on the hair. So, when the hair grows, the natural color blends with the artificial so well that it becomes very difficult to distinguish. This type of hair coloring is very different from foil coloring, in which the color is standard throughout the hair making it look unnatural.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the effort required in performing balayage, it is more time consuming and expensive than other forms of coloring. There is a general belief that balayage is for blonde hair. However, it goes with any color that is lighter than your hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Balayage is a hair coloring method, which looks natural, as the color grows stronger towards the end of the hair.
