We present to you lowlighting, the ideal balayage technique to help you wear your gray hair naturally without radically changing your hair color.
The appearance of White hair occurs gradually and it is not uncommon to go through a period where the hair lacks uniformity when left natural. Did you think coloring was reserved for women who want to camouflage their white hair? Think again, it can also help you get through the process of wearing your salt and pepper hair natural by helping you better experience the moment of transition that occurs just after stopping the coloring which gives the impression that you still have brown, blond or red hair…
As recommended by hairdresser Christopher Naselli hairdresser, interviewed by Women’s Healthyou can in particular try a new type of balayage specially dedicated to gray hair which will standardize everything, while maintaining contrast, nuance and your hair as natural as possible. It’s about scanning lowlighting, a balayage that will darken the hair rather than lighten it, as we will see a little later. Requiring little maintenance, because there is no root effect when regrowth, this type of balayage specifically designed for graying hair is a godsend for finally stopping complete coloring.

Lowlighting balayage: the ideal balayage for gray hair
As Christopher Naselli details, lowlighting balayage is the opposite of classic blonde balayage. It is “a technique that involves darkening sections of hair using a color that is generally the same level as your natural color or darker to create dimension” specifies the coloring expert. No need to bleach the hair as for a classic balayage, since white hair is perfectly receptive to this type of balayage without any oxidation. The darker shades added to the hair create shadows and give depth to the color to create an interesting volume effect at the age when hair naturally thins. It is “an excellent solution for mixing grays” according to the hairdresser, which makes it possible to standardize the hair a little without going through radical coloring. And rest assured, even if this balayage darkens the hair, it only does so very subtly because “you should not choose a shade much darker than your natural base color, as you do not want to create too much contrast”this is precisely what guarantees the natural result offered by this special white hair balayage.
