So what's the difference we hear you ask......
Balayage
(To Sweep)

As one of the most popular hair colouring techniques being used everyday it's time to start with balayage, it was originally developed by French colourists in the 1970s and it comes from the French term "To sweep", it's more of a freehand hair colouring technique whereby highlights are painted on which means you get softer, more natural-looking results than you would with foils.
Ombré
(Shadow)

Ombré isn’t a hair colouring technique at all – it’s a gradient and when translated means "shadow" Balayage is the technique that’s commonly applied to achieve ombré hair colour. Lightener is placed horizontally on the bottom half of the hair, then blended upwards (rather than painted on in sections), to achieve a more noticeable gradient line. Not to be confused with dip-dye hair, ombre should have that caramel-coloured mid-section, so you don’t get such an extreme contrast.
