The hair world borrowed the term ‘ombre’ from the French word meaning shaded or shading. Ombre hair color is generally darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then gradually gets lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends.
Babylights are delicate highlights created using a very fine hair color technique to mimic the subtle, dimensional hair color seen on children’s hair. Babylights
can be applied to any hair color or hair type. The process can be done in any shade to match any skin tone.
Foilyage is a technique colorists use when they want to get more lift out of the ends and can’t achieve that with balayage or traditional foils. They go in and balayage inside the foil.
