The differences among teasy light , balayage, color melt, baby light, and regular highlights for hair are primarily in technique, application, and the final look they achieve. Here’s a breakdown of each:
TEASY LIGHT COLOR SERVICE
Technique: Involves backcombing sections of the hair before applying lightener. This creates a softer transition between the natural color and the lightened sections.
Application: Lightener is applied after the hair is teased, often creating a blend that is less structured than traditional highlights but more defined than balayage.
Final Look: Results in a natural, sun-kissed look with a gentle, diffused lightening effect that mimics natural hair growth and highlights.
REGULAR HIGHLIGHTS
Technique: Traditional highlighting often involves sectioning the hair and applying lightener to the strands, which are then wrapped in foil to process.
Application: Lightener is applied in foils, which can be placed very close to the scalp for a more noticeable contrast.
Final Look: Results in more defined, noticeable streaks of lighter color throughout the hair. The highlights can be placed for varying levels of contrast and intensity, from subtle to bold.
BALAYAGE COLOR SERVICE
Technique: A freehand painting technique where the colorist paints the hair color or lightener directly onto the surface of the hair.
Application: Applied mostly on the surface of the hair in a sweeping motion, avoiding the use of foils or strict sectioning.
Final Look: Creates a graduated, natural-looking effect from darker roots to lighter ends. The result is a soft, sun-kissed appearance with a seamless blend.
COLOR MELT COLOR SERVICE
Technique: Involves blending multiple colors into each other, typically starting with a darker shade at the roots and melting into lighter shades towards the ends.
Application: Different colors are applied in sections and then blended together to create a smooth transition.
Final Look: Achieves a more multidimensional, harmonious gradient of color with no harsh lines, giving a fluid and natural look.
BABYLIGHT COLOR SERVICE
Babylights:
Technique: Similar to traditional highlights but uses finer sections.
Application: Very fine strands of hair are lightened, often using foils, to create subtle highlights.
Final Look: Soft, natural highlights that mimic the subtle, sun-kissed look of children's hair, with a very natural blend.
