Americans do it with foil. The French prefer balayage—(French for “sweeping”)—a quick, artistic, hand painting approach to highlighting. John and Chad Siggers of Siggers Hairdressing discovered this natural-looking technique in Paris nearly 20 years ago, and they’ve been offering it in their Atlanta salon--and conducting classes for colleagues--ever since. Here are six of their popular DVDs…now you can do it the French way!

Balayage-The Color DVD
They call it BalayColor and it’s the Siggers’ method for applying color and highlights simultaneously.

The result is the sexy “Bardot-esque” look of lighter ends and a deeper root area—très magnifique!(1 DVD/20mins)
