Balayage is a freehand hair coloring technique that creates a natural, sun-kissed look with softer, less noticeable regrowth lines. Hair highlights, on the other hand, are typically applied using foils and result in more uniform, structured streaks of lighter color throughout the hair. Balayage tends to be more low-maintenance and grows out more naturally than traditional highlights. According to Byrdie, a balayage appointment can take anywhere from three to five hours.

While both treatments aim to smooth and straighten hair, they have distinct differences. A Brazilian blowout creates a protective layer around each hair strand, reducing frizz and adding shine without altering the hair's natural texture. We find it typically lasts 10-12 weeks. A keratin treatment, however, penetrates the hair shaft to rebuild and strengthen the hair from within, resulting in straighter, smoother hair that can last up to six months. The choice between the two depends on your desired outcome and hair type.
