How long does a balayage last for? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

In most instances, aim for best case scenario three months and in absolutely extreme cases, six months. However for greater accuracy, you will know if you need another balayage when you experience one or more of the following:

• Brassiness: Over time, if you’ve had your hair bleached the tone can turn warn, yellow or orangey. Purple shampoo can alleviate some of the symptoms of this, however in the coming weeks you this is likely a sign that you will require salon intervention.
• Contrast: As your hair grows, so does your balayage. You will experience the contrast from dark to light become less blended and less ‘on point’. Whilst balayage is designed to grow out much more gracefully than highlights, you may eventually find that the lighter sections are too far down your hair, making your colour look unbalanced.
• Dullness: When you leave the salon, your hair will have an intangible quality (a shimmer or shine). Whilst we expect that to last for a while, over the coming months most colours will begin to lose their edge.
• Change: In some cases, you may just want to switch it up whether you have grown tired of the same hair colour, want to shift your tone or want a completely different look!
