BALAYAGE / GREY COLOUR |
| Customer's preference |
Customer wanted a long-lasting colour with good lustre. Style-wise, she specifically requested for highlights, gradation style colour, and grey colour. |
| Advice from the stylist |
Grey colours usually involve lightening of the hair in the first step of the colouring procedure, which tends to place a lot of stress on the hair. As such, I mainly advised her on how to choose the appropriate shampoos and treatments for post-colouring home care. |
| Customer's thoughts on the outcome |
She was happy with the outcome, as the resulting colour matched her preferences and created a beautiful contrast. |
| Stylist's thoughts on the outcome |
With the balayage technique, damage done to the hair can be kept to a minimum, with only the surface and ends of the hair bearing the brunt of the stress from the lightening process. The balayage technique also enables the creation of natural-looking highlights and gradation colours, and I am glad to have been able to create a beautiful grey colour (with this technique). |
