Oh là là
The super-chic hair colour trend with bags of Parisian glamour Oh là là!
Defi ning how to look stylish, Coco Chanel said: "Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." She was right. The key is to strike the right balance of looking dressed up while at the same time nonchalant. Indeed, the French have turned eff ortless, laid-back cool into an art form.

So, seeing that the hottest hair trend of the summer has come from the salons of Paris should come as pas de surprise. French balayage is all about creating natural-looking colour that looks beautiful, luminous, healthy and yes, you guessed it, completely eff ortless. Balayage means to sweep or paint and is a freehand technique that gives a really blended natural result.
Prevent damage to your hair
The beauty of balayage is that it suits all hair types and colours. You can be as bold or as subtle as you like, and it works wonders enhancing the shape of your face, existing cut and natural colour. However, it is important that you maintain it. A good quality colourprotecting shampoo is ideal for this purpose, while using a heat protection product before styling with a dryer or hot brush will prevent damage to your hair and the colour fading. There used to be a theory that only blondes could enjoy a fabulous balayage but this is defi nitely not the case. If you’re looking to enhance your natural colour, copper and caramel tones really work on brunette hair. Of course, if you are blonde or fair-haired, while lighter colours will create a brighter appearance that frames the face wonderfully. May look to brighten their blonde with beautifully-toned face framing.
by Craig Smith Director of Grateful Heads Hair Salon
Done professionally, French balayage should look and feel natural; you could even a little gracefully messy, as imperfection is the secret. C’est-`a-dire, ‘cool’ sans essayer.
Vibrant, glossy hair
Balayage looks at its best when it is super healthy and silky. Applying good quality argan oil once a week and leaving it in overnight for a deeper treatment will give you vibrant, glossy hair.
