Ombre vs. Balayage: What’s the difference?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re ready to change up your haircolor and you can\u2019t decide between\u00a0Ombre\u00a0and\u00a0Balayage\u00a0because, well, you can\u2019t know the difference between Balayage and Ombre: you are not alone.\u00a0We admit, it can be hard to understand what sets them apart and which one is right for you. In partnership with Redken Artists\u00a0Jaclyn Harwood<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twylla Jane<\/a>, we’ll\u00a0 help you decode the difference in the ultimate match up: Ombre vs. Balayage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is Balayage?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Balayage is all about how the color is applied. The word Balayage originates from the French term \u201cto sweep.\u201d With Balayage, not necessarily all the ends will be affected and the transition between dark and light will be much longer and more natural looking<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"before<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

What is Ombre?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Ombre<\/div>\n
\n

Ombre is a\u00a0haircolor technique\u00a0where all the ends are going be affected and the transition from the deeper roots and light ends is going to be pretty short. The definition for Ombre is the French word for “color that is shaded or graduated in tone”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What does the difference between Ombre and Balayage mean for me?<\/h2>\n

The good news is that anyone can try either look, depending on their desired result. The two techniques can even be used together on any haircolor for any desired haircolor.\u00a0Choosing which one is right for you really depends on the look you\u2019re trying to achieve. Whether you\u2019re looking for a blonde, brown, red, rose gold or even vivid color look, your HC Stylist should be able to work with you on either technique to create the color effect you\u2019re going for.\u00a0\u201cThe creative possibilities are endless,\u201d Jaclyn says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How can I make my ombre or balayage last?<\/h2>\n

Keeping your hair protected during Ombre or Balayage is vital for achieving and maintaining the color. We strongly recommend adding REDKEN pH-Bonder <\/a>to your service to protect and strengthen hair during the lifting process.\u00a0 When your hair is colored in any way, it changes the pH balance of your scalp. You should talk to your HC Stylist about what\u2019s best to keep your hair feeling and looking healthy. Twylla recommends asking your stylist about REDKEN Color Extend Bonder<\/a> for maximum benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
