Unravelling the lingo of hair colouring techniques...

Highlights


The classic method of lightening hair, starting at the root, and methodically applied in sections to give a more consistent, patterned finish.
Highlights are for you if a bright, all-over blonde look is your end goal.  They will give you a polished look when freshly-done, however the close-to-the-root finish means you’ll need to get the colour retouched every 6 to 10 weeks.

Babylights

Work similar to highlights in that they run from the root to the tip for an all-over lift but they are set closer together than highlights with the colourist wrapping a much smaller amount of hair into each of the foils resulting in an almost undetectable ultra-natural finish. Time-consuming, but the hard work pays off: the re-growth tends to be much softer, and the technique can work on all hair colours, whether you’re blonde, a redhead or brunette.

Balayage

This highlighting technique is from a French term meaning to sweep or paint. Using freehand, the stylist paints bleach or hair colour just on the surface of your hair without saturating the entire section with colour. The result is soft, natural-looking, sun-kissed highlights that easily blend in as hair grows longer.

Ombré​

In this hair colour technique, your root hair colour gradually fades into a much lighter hair colour at the ends, such as blonde. The Balayage technique is used to create the Ombré end look.

Sombré​

Sombre is the softer version of ombré, using less contrasting shades. Instead of dyeing tips two or three shades lighter, your colourist might lift strands one shade for a sunset effect. 
It’s the most low-maintenance of all the looks, as it grows out entirely seamlessly, so if you’re shy about trying a dip-dye, this is your entry-level look.
