Balayage: Should You Go for the Gradient?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been following the trends in hair color, you may have noticed that there is a difference between ombre and balayage. So what&#8217;s the difference? Well, ombre hair is achieved by using bleach to lighten up your whole head of hair. This means that all your strands are now lighter than they were before! On the other hand, Balayage uses a more natural approach: it highlights pieces of your hair instead of bleaching them from root to tip. The result is usually much softer and less harsh than an ombre hairstyle.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between ombre and balayage<\/h2>\n<p>The difference is that balayage uses freehand painting techniques while ombre utilizes a darker root color and lighter tips.

Achieving an ombre effect takes more time than balayage because you need to wait for each layer of color (darker) before adding another one (lighter). Ombres also tend to look better if layered from dark at the bottom, gradually getting lighter towards the top.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you get an ombre or balayage hair color?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-34\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lisaperrysoprano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ombre_vs_balayage_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lisaperrysoprano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ombre_vs_balayage_2.jpg 326w, http:\/\/www.lisaperrysoprano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ombre_vs_balayage_2-298x300.jpg 298w, http:\/\/www.lisaperrysoprano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ombre_vs_balayage_2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/>Balayage hair color is one of the hottest trends in the beauty industry, and for a good reason!
