Balayage Placement Tecnique
Open air hair painting is a soft lift technique to create sun-kissed hair color with subtle highlights that are skinny at the root and wider toward mid-length and ends, creating a graduation of color (fade from dark to light) from roots to ends. The placement is also round, sweeping from high to low from front to back to create brighter panels around the face, while leaving a halo of depth at the crown.
A common struggle with Balayage is knowing where to place the open air paint and where to leave depth to create natural looking dimension. Ashlee’s signature #StarKnotBalayage design creates the perfect placement of interlocking highs and lows within organic circular sections.
In this video you will learn the signature design as well as observe techniques for painting on clay lightener and free handing in lowlights during one application session. The color melting techniques of shadow tone and base break are also demonstrated in one application after the balayage highlights and freehand lowlights are processed and shampooed off. Wella formulations for a Rose Gold/ Stawberry Blonde are included.
