Highlights

As mentioned, short hair presents its own set of challenges when it comes to colouring, but with the right approach, the balayage can be an excellent option. The key is to keep the highlights close to the roots, so as to blend seamlessly into the natural colour of the hair. This will create a subtle and gradual effect, which is particularly suited to short hair.

There are various techniques that can be used to achieve balayage on short hair. One popular approach is the "root stretch" technique, which involves applying colour to the roots and then pulling it slightly down through the mid-lengths. This gives the impression of natural growth and is particularly effective on short hair. Another technique is "slicing", which involves carefully painting thin sections of hair with colour. This creates a subtle but striking effect.

Of course, as with any hair colouring technique, maintenance is key. Short hair will show regrowth faster than longer hair, so regular touch-ups every six to eight weeks is recommended to keep the colour looking fresh. In addition, it is important to take good care of the hair between visits, using colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and avoiding heat styling tools to extend the life of the balayage.
