This is a subtle freehand coloring technique that creates soft, natural-looking highlights.

This free-hand painting is applied to the top and ends of the hair giving it a light and natural look.

2. Foilyage

Foilyage is a hair coloring technique that combines the hand-painted application of balayage with the use of foils. Foil is used in wrapping some parts of the hair after the dye is applied. It is then heated, allowing the color to penetrate into the wrapped parts of the hair.

3. Babylights

Babylights are hair coloring techniques that mimic the subtle and delicate nature of a baby’s hair. 

4. Partial Highlights

Partial hair highlights is a coloring technique that involves lightening selected parts of your hair targeting areas like the hairline. This technique adds depth to your hair and is also cost effective.
