We think that balayage is the most natural, gorgeous way to get golden highlights.
Balayage is a French word that means ‘sweeping,’ and it perfectly describes this hair-highlighting. Hairdressers freehand paint highlights onto hair, creating more lightness towards the ends to mimic a sun-kissed look. This technique appears quite natural and is much softer than the boxy highlights of the early 2000s.
Sun-kissed hair is always in, and balayage is a beautiful way to recreate the look without the UV rays. If you have damaged or thinning hair, though, lightening and coloring may damage your hair further. However, you don’t need bleach or toner for the perfect blonde balayage. Wigs are a beautiful option and more realistic than ever.
To get flawless balayage locks without risk to your hair, we recommend trying a 100% human hair wig. Human hair wigs are fully customizable, and Remy hair in particular takes bleach and color well. If you can’t find your dream balayage wig, a hairstylist will be able to personalize your 100% human Remy hair wig.
Getting one-time highlights on a wig is better for your hair, and it will save your wallet a lot of money in the long run. We can’t recommend customizing your own balayage with an excellent wig highly enough! Continue reading to learn about all the benefits of choosing a balayage wig instead of a dye job.
Get the Look of Balayage Hair with a Wig!
First, let’s talk hair damage: this is a real, common issue and is nothing to be ashamed of! Millions of women around the United States struggle with hair thinning.
No matter the reason for the damage, thinning hair deserves tender, loving care. The easiest way to pamper your damaged hair is by avoiding harsh chemicals. This applies to bleach, which is the magic ingredient in balayage.
Next, pricing: getting balayage on your hair (and then getting touch ups) will add up fast. Balayage is expensive because your hairdresser is creating a work of art! They will hand-paint each highlight onto your hair intentionally. However, repeat appointments to avoid that grown-out look will be expensive.
Don’t forget to factor in time when considering the savings of a wig. Instead of sitting in a salon chair for hours on end, buy one wig or schedule one appointment, and you will be done. Time is money, and buying a wig is quite a smart investment. If you go this route, you can have fuller, longer, more sun-kissed hair in minutes.
Lastly, you could go the old-fashioned route of sun-in or lemon juice and baking. However, UV rays are not only damaging to your skin but also to your hair. This method is also imprecise, unpredictable, and won’t yield professional quality results.
Luckily, going out in the sun is not a requirement for attaining the perfect sun-kissed balayage. You can purchase a beautiful human hair balayage wig or bring a high-quality wig to your salon for custom highlights. We will share links to some of our favorite balayage ombre wig options below!
PS: You can wear a wig in the sun, but just like the hair on your head, human hair wigs will fade under too much sun. A wide-brimmed hat is the perfect accessory for skin and hair health on sunny days!
