COLOUR CUES
The hair colour technique balayage has been a stylist
favourite since the 1970s, when a little salon in France first
developed it. “Balayage is a great way to bring texture,
dimension and the appearance of thickness to hair,” says
L’Oréal Professionnel artist Peter Thomsen who used the
method to add a natural highlight to Valance’s locks. “I wove
in two different shades—a light brown and dark blonde—then
finished with a gloss to give the hair depth and shine,” he
explains. To get the look, Thomsen says to ask your stylist
for a multidimensional colour. “Blondes can mix in creamy
tones, while redheads can blend autumnal shades,” he adds.
“You don’t want a result with a strong contrast, but just
enough difference to give you variation in your colour.”TOUSLED TEXTURE
Parting your hair
against the way it falls
naturally will create
body and movement.
