Using multiple tones adds depth and dimension. Combining warm and cool shades can enhance movement and create natural-looking blends. Key considerations:
Shade Selection: Choose tones that complement each other and suit the client’s skin tone.
Blending Techniques: Layer lighter and darker shades for a seamless gradient.
Placement Strategy: Start with darker shades at roots or mid-lengths and blend lighter tones toward the ends.
Timing: Process lighter shades longer if necessary, but monitor to avoid over-processing.
Exercise:
Plan a 2–3 tone balayage look for a client with medium brown hair.
Write down the shade combinations, placement, and processing times.
