Different hair textures and porosities affect how colour is absorbed. Adjust your technique according to hair type:
Fine Hair: Lighter strokes, less product to avoid saturation.
Thick Hair: More product and careful sectioning for even coverage.
Curly or Wavy Hair: Follow natural curl pattern to avoid harsh lines.
High Porosity: Use protective treatments to maintain integrity; hair may absorb colour faster.
Low Porosity: Pre-treat with heat or porosity equalizers to enhance lift.
Exercise:
Identify two hair types and describe how you would adjust your balayage application for each.
Note any product or timing adjustments needed.
