Balayage Tutorial

Hotheads Platform Artist Alicia Iannone creates a seamless balayage using extensions. By providing extensions as a method to change hair colors, you are creating solutions for many clients that do not want to color their hair! 

1. My guest’s natural color matched Hotheads Color #8 (Dark Blonde) so for this Balayage, I chose #8, #23 (Beige Blonde), #25 (Pale Yellow) & #613 (Platinum) to create a natural, dimensional Balayage.

2. Using the Hotheads Application Method, I added highlights without lifting my model’s hair color.

3. I used #23 on bottom and #8 on top, to achieve a softer look. Working toward the face, use brighter shades to create a bolder look.

4.  Using your texturizing shears, thin out #8 (or top color) so that the bottom shade appears brighter. For guests looking for bolder highlights, place a blonde on top of another blonde.

5.  As you approach the temple, use #25 on the bottom and #8 on top. #8 matches the model’s base color, allowing #25 to peek through.

6.  For dimensional, but bold color effects, alternate the blondes used throughout the application.

7. When application is complete, take a look at the entire head to make sure there are no gaps or separations throughtout.

8. Once the whole head has been applied, dust the ends of the perimeter to flawlessly blend extensions. Hotheads Extensions are pre-layered, so in most cases you will only need to trim the ends.

By providing extensions as a method to change hair colors, you are creating solutions for many clients that do not want to color their hair.
