Modern colour techniques like babylights, colour melting, and shadow roots allow stylists to enhance features and create dynamic looks. Placement is key to achieving a natural or fashion-forward effect.
Key points:
Babylights: Fine, delicate highlights to mimic natural sunlight
Colour Melting: Seamless blending from dark roots to lighter ends
Shadow Roots: Soft, natural-looking root shading to extend regrowth intervals
Face-Framing: Highlights positioned to enhance facial features
Exercise:
Sketch a colour map for a client requesting a fashion-forward balayage with babylights.
Indicate placement for highlights and shadow roots.
