Beauty trend:honey balayage

The change of season often makes us want to change our minds. Between the cold and the greyness, there's nothing like a short trip to the hairdresser to restore light and shine to our hair.

For a natural shade that warms up our looks this winter, we particularly love the honey balayage .

A sweep that adapts to almost all hair types and offers a sublime natural look. The hair is illuminated and the reflections slightly golden, for a beauty style at the top of the trends. In short, to try it is to adopt it!

But then who can do a honey sweep ? What does it look like? We take stock of the subject.

What is a honey balayage?

Balayage is a hair coloring technique that allows you to obtain highlights with a very natural effect.

A honey sweep offers small golden touches throughout the hair to give the impression of naturally shiny hair.

You should know that there are severaltypes of honey sweep with more or less pronounced tints (acacia honey, mountain honey, etc.). Depending on the basic complexion of your hair, the result will be different depending on the choice of your honey color.

Honey sweep, for whom?

Ideal for women with dull hair , the honey scan brings light and golden reflections. Its very natural appearance makes it one of the favorites of winter to enhance a color that is too linear.

On the other hand, women who already have a dark base such as brown to dark brown hair, should avoid it because it will not show enough. Better to favor chocolate, mahogany balayage or light brown highlights.

Ditto for ash-haired women. Because if ash hair has rather cold undertones, this is not the case with honey sweeping which offers rather warm undertones. This difference in tones will not be pretty. And besides, it might cause your ash blonde to turn yellow. Prefer beige shades.

In terms of the cut, the honey sweep is particularly suitable for women with medium or long hair.

How to maintain a honey sweep?

Honey balayage is very easy to maintain.

To take care of your honey balayage and prevent it from turning yellow, go back to your colorist hairdresser approximately every 1 month and a half .

It will give you back a light effect to wake up your swipe without needing to redo an entire swipe. A gloss type treatment should suffice.

Honey balayage VS caramel balayage?

In the collective mind, these two warm shades are quite close and it is sometimes difficult to know which one to choose.

In reality the difference between honey balayage and caramel balayage is beautiful and well presented.

  • If you have dark brown to brown hair, you'll enhance the color by doing a copper balayage.
  • Honey is very pretty on a light to medium brown base.
