Why Does Balayage Require Expertise
Hello, I'm Mehmet. I've been working professionally in hair design and coloring in Kuşadası for over 35 years. In this article, I want to answer the most frequently asked questions, especially about balayage and hair coloring, based on my professional experience.
Balayage: The Art of Details
Balayage is a process that looks natural and effortless from the outside, but is actually extremely delicate and unforgiving of mistakes. When applied correctly, it provides a magnificent color transition, depth, and vibrancy to the hair.
When the process is finished, you look in the mirror and say:
“This hair is amazing!”
Yes, at first the color is perfect, the hair looks beautiful, and everyone is happy with the result.
So What Happens Next?
The real important point usually becomes apparent after a month.
After lightening treatments like balayage, highlights, or ombre, the following problems may occur over time:
Dullness or change in hair color
Dryness
Breakage and loss of elasticity
The main reason for this is often the quality of the product used. A color that looks beautiful on the first day, if not done with the right product and technique, will negatively affect the hair structure in a short time.
Quality Product = Lasting Beauty
If the hair still lacks vibrancy and shine after a month, you must ask yourself:
"Was the product used really suitable for the hair?"
The most important factors determining success in balayage and similar treatments are:
Correct product selection
Detailed hair analysis
The hair's natural pigment level
Waiting (packaging) time
The hair's current condition and past treatments
You Can't Achieve Beautiful Color Without Protecting the Hair
The goal of a professional coloring process is not just to lighten the color, but to do so while protecting the hair's health. Therefore:
The hair's pigment structure must be preserved as much as possible.
The pH balance must not be disrupted.
The hair must be supported throughout the process.
Remember, beautiful color is temporary, but healthy hair is permanent.
Conclusion
Balayage is not a trend, it's a job for experts. When done by the right hands, it adds value to your hair; when applied incorrectly, it can leave damage that is difficult to reverse. Therefore, in any hair treatment, it's not just the result that matters, but also the product used and the professional completion of the process.
