Things You Should Know
- A full balayage gradually lightens the hair all the way to the tips (excluding the roots) for a naturally bright, sun-kissed look.
- A partial balayage only focuses on lightening small portions of the hair rather than the entire head.
- Both balayage styles are easy to maintain and grow out, but a full balayage takes longer and costs more.
