They often look similar in photos, so it&#8217;s no surprise people ask us which one they should choose. <b>The honest answer is, it depends. <\/b>(We know, not the dramatic reveal you were hoping for!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Highlights usually create a brighter, more even look by colouring selected sections of hair from the roots. Balayage, on the other hand, is painted by hand to create a softer, more natural finish with a gentler blend from darker roots to lighter ends. <u>If you&#8217;re after a sun-kissed look that grows out naturally, balayage is often the favourite. If you enjoy a brighter, more defined colour from top to bottom, highlights may be the better choice.<\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">One thing that&#8217;s often overlooked is how each style fits into your routine. Balayage generally needs less maintenance because it grows out more softly, while traditional highlights may need refreshing a little sooner to keep them looking their best. Neither is better than the other; <b>it&#8217;s simply about choosing the look that suits your hair, your style, and, let&#8217;s be honest, your diary.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At MilanC, one of the most common things we hear is, &#8220;I want my hair to look like this,&#8221; followed by a photo taken on a beach in perfect sunshine with filters doing half the work. Inspiration is always welcome, <b>but your hair is unique, and that&#8217;s exactly how we approach every colour consultation.<\/b> We&#8217;ll help you choose a look that complements your hair rather than trying to copy someone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you decide on balayage, highlights, or something in between, healthy hair will always make the biggest impression. If you&#8217;re ready for a change or simply want some honest advice, we&#8217;d love to welcome you to MilanC and help you find the colour that&#8217;s right for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve ever searched for hair inspiration online, you&#8217;ve probably come across the words balayage and highlights more times than you can count.
