If you are thinking of changing your look once we leave confinement and you are diving between the different techniques and hair colors that are a trend in 2020, this may interest you. And the fact is that if there is a hair technique that is sweeping and that also cannot be more groundbreaking, it is that of inverted balayage wicks (or vice versa).
The result of inverted balayage is very different from the effect that we can achieve with other much more natural and discreet highlights, such as shatush highlights, which also play with a sweeping and contrasting technique that blends the fine dyed strands with the non-colored ones. The curious and original thing about inverted balayage is that the inner layers of the hair are dyed with a much more striking result and creating more impact.
We know, it is not something new and they have been flirting with trends for a couple of seasons but now, facing spring and summer 2020, it has taken another leap, and they are called peekaboo wicks . Yes, like the game of hiding that we do with young children, and these 'hidden' highlights allow us a very striking makeover but without losing our essence or our natural color and / or base. And they are so beautiful …

The traditional balayage wicks lighten the hair towards the ends in a very subtle way, and the inverted ones , as their name suggests, enhance the light precisely at the roots of the hair, darkening (or giving a touch of color) until the end of the hair . The technique has been polished and evolved through very subtle updates that each time make us seem more irresistible. How? With the novel ' peekaboo ' technique .

What is attractive about them? In the new inverted 'balayage' highlights, only the inner layers are discolored and dyed, that is, leaving the outer layers of the usual color, this makes the highlights look with some hairstyles or if, for example, we make waves in our hair or we play with the movement of the mane.

This means that the highlights are not always visible, leaving them visible only when we want, which creates a gradient and contrast effect and a very original and daring dimension in the hair, but without the change in the face being very striking. They are modern highlights that flee from the traditional ideal for women who want a change but do not want to completely renounce the color of their hair.
The most demanded are in warm tones

But the highlights in fancy colors are also quite in demand. Pink in blonde women and more intense colors like red, blue or purple in dark hair. You just have to bleach the inner part of the hair so the damage is less and also we will not always see the hair of that striking color.

The 'reverse balayage' technique that colorist Deryn Daniels has made famous on Instagram is bold and groundbreaking hair color. For blonde women it is a great way to get a change without losing the light base of the hair. In addition , maintenance is low since you only have to touch up the roots every few weeks.

The color can also be adapted to the tone of the skin and eyes, so the inverted balayage is adapted to the style of each woman. The highlights can be ombré, babylights, Californian, one color, or several! They can be as subtle as you want or as groundbreaking as you choose.
