Root stretch, Balayage and glazing techniques

Root stretch has become very popular with clients this season.

This method of colour application is designed to blend out old highlights and remove the definition line that old highlights can leave after as little as a month’s growth.

For this client Lucia used L’Oréal professional colour range, this client’s hair had been previously highlighted and had grown out and left a definition line.  Firstly a warm brunette colour from the Loreal French girl collection was applied to the clients root area and blended down the hair shaft to remove the definition line which blended out the old highlights this technique is called root stretching.

The balayage technique was then used to add in very subtle lighter strands throughout the hair.
