Thanks to the amazing versatility of that incomparable filament we call hair, combined with the imagination and skilled stylists, the hair styling scene is constantly changing and evolving with new techniques to reinvent and WOW.

Hair colouring is an essential part of designing our hair and there are lots of buzzwords floating around to describe the different effects available. Lucky for you, we are here to break them down and educate you in the lingo before your next visit to the best salon in Toowoomba, L.A Hair Designs.

BALAYAGE

Coming from a French word that means "to sweep" or "to paint", balayage refers to a natural, sunkissed look for hair. Think fair haired children in the summertime, the desired effect should be soft, not streaky or thick, and have softer tones on the ends and darker tones on the roots. A positive about BALAYAGE is thanks to the softer regrowth is not as noticeable, unlike stripy highlights which can look harsh as soon as roots begin to show.

BABYLIGHTS

This cute term means a delicate version of highlights, rather than streaky, harsh tones it implies soft, sun-bleached colour to give a more natural blonde look. Working well with every hair colour and length, BABYLIGHTS are perfect for creating a soft, subtle look with minimal maintenance.

COLOUR MELT

Colour melt is a technique that seamlessly blends multiple colour tones with the base colour. The idea is for the tones to "MELT" together so you cannot see where one colour ends and one begins - hence why hairdressers call it Colour Melt. This low-key look is natural and easy to maintain, with regrowth less noticeable. Rather than a full colour bleach, try colour melting to move to a lighter colour in a more gradual way that is totally on trend.
