Babylights

Very fine, closely placed highlights for a natural, sun-kissed effect.

Babylights are ultra-fine highlights placed close together – inspired by the way children's hair naturally lightens in the sun. The result looks softer and more subtle than classic highlights.

Difference to balayage:

While balayage is painted on freehand and lives mostly in the lengths, babylights are placed in fine sections (usually in foils) across the whole head or targeted at the root area. Both techniques can be combined. Because of the fine work, the appointment usually takes longer than classic highlights.
