Balayage highlights on brown hair refer to a highlighting technique that involves painting on lightener by hand to create natural-looking, sun-kissed effects. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage is applied in freehand strokes, resulting in a gradual, blended transition from the base color to the highlights.
Balayage highlights are highly sought-after for their ability to flatter a wide range of brown hair shades, from light to dark. They add dimension, depth, and brightness to the hair, creating a low-maintenance, lived-in look. The technique originated in France in the 1970s and has since gained popularity worldwide.
