Balayage with bangs: everything you need to know about it
Many women think that if you have bangs, the balayage technique will not look good.
But this is not true!
The balayage color technique has evolved a lot and today there are thousands of variants and styles in which you can enjoy it.
If you go to Instagram for example, almost all the balayage photos that you are going to see are with a thick highlight in the contour of your face, to make a face framing.
And obviously this should not be done if you have a fringe because it would look very strange.
But this is not the only technique out there! It is simply a modification of the original balayage that is very fashionable now.
What is a balayage exactly?
In case you are not familiar, a balayage is a color technique in which your hair lightens from the middle to the ends naturally.
Before, a less blurred style was used, very focused on having only the light ends.
The balayage in which only the ends are lightened with a lot of contrast is very old-fashioned. Now a more natural and blurred effect is used.
For this reason, now the technique has been improving, and the highlights start from much higher, with a root melt to further degrade the effect, and the famous money piece (face framing) in the contour of the face.
The good news is that if you wear bangs you can get a balayage!
The only difference will be that you shouldn’t do the illuminating highlights of face framing, but you can do everything else.

Can you do balayage with bangs?
Doing a balayage if you have bangs is a very good idea!
This combination is usually very flattering, since your hair will look very romantic and chic.
What you have to keep in mind is that you should never apply the balayage highlights in the bangs area.
The fringe area should always be in your natural color, similar to the color of your roots, and the balayage should start on the ear area.
I don’t recommend balayage too low or too high.
That the first highlights start about 6 inches from the roots will look perfect!
Inlcusive you can get closer to the scalp if you want to have an ombre effect, but the important thing is that you never touch the bangs.
If your hairdresser is very specialized in applying color, he can make light flashes of color in your bangs, but when in doubt, better not touch it and it will look spectacular.
