What are the different types of hair colouring techniques?
Some of the most popular hair colouring techniques are:
- Balayage: Light tips and natural highlights. This can also be created in reverse using darker tips.
- Ombre: Light tips to the hair. A reverse ombre uses darker tips graduating into lighter roots.
- Highlights: Adding lighter tones to the hair.
- Dip Dye: Dyeing only the ends of your hair.
- Two Tone: Dyeing your hair in two contrasting colours.
- Peek-a-boo: Dyeing the underlayers of your hair.
- Rainbow: Dyeing your hair multiple colours.
Some of these hair colour technique names are self-explanatory but for some styles, you need to look deeper into the origin of the word to understand their meaning. For example, Ombre comes for the word shaded in French and Balayage means to sweep in French. Find out more about these different types of technique in our ‘How To’ guides.
