It is a technique of partial lightening of the hair, generally via bleaching.
Clear. Most often, balayage =highlights. But we can also talk about Californian balayage, which reproduces the effect of the sun on the tips.
It is a question of coloring or bleaching only the tips. A clear demarcation is obtained, more or less intense depending on the difference with the color of the hair.
Clear. Platinum tips, without shading, on a brunette, it's necessarily a tie &dye.
The shade is super soft:the color (or discoloration) is applied to a good third of the hair, always starting from the tips. To avoid demarcation, the colorist uses an intermediate color that creates the link between the base and the tips.
Clear. It is a color gradient that allows you to have dark roots and lighter tips with a natural result. Bonus:there is no root effect.
It is a precise color (we can also speak of tonality), natural or not.
Clear. We tend to say (wrongly) "my base is blonde", when we should say "my tone is blonde".
