Balayage or Highlights — which one is right for you?

If you’ve ever stared at a color menu and felt confused, you’re not alone! Both balayage and highlights brighten your hair, but the technique, upkeep, and vibe are totally different. Here’s how to tell them apart:

Balayage

A French technique where color is painted on by hand.

Usually starts mid-length and gets lighter toward the ends.

Results in a natural, sun-kissed look (like you’ve just come back from a beach vacation).

Low-maintenance: grows out softly without harsh lines.

Highlights

Sections of hair are wrapped in foils and lightened from roots to ends.

Creates a brighter, more noticeable contrast.

Perfect if you love a bold, dimensional look.

Needs more upkeep as roots grow in.

The Bottom Line

Go for highlights if you want that “wow, my hair looks lighter!” effect.

Choose balayage if you love subtle, natural brightness that blends beautifully.
