Chunks

Balayage: The French use this method to achieve more lightening on the ends of the hair (It is more

natural this way as hair should always be darker on the base of the hair shaft or the root area) and less

on the roots as with traditional highlights in America. 

Bleach or a lightening product is painted on without using foils. Instead a brush and paddle are used in a

sweeping motion giving the hair colorist a bit more room to play and less methodical streaks.

This method can be used to accent facial features. It brings out the eyes by adding bolder pieces of color at eye level.

Balayage is more carefree than highlights, and because the streak isn't as define, it looks edgier and more artsy.

Maintenance: Touch up every 3-4 months

Chunks : Though getting an oversize stripe of color seems like it'd be simple, it's not! You need to be the type of person who takes care of their hair, someone who wears the makeup and dresses the part. 

Stacking foils very tightly to create a streak at least on inch wide creates the look. Or, 1 inch panels close

to the scalp about 1 inch apart is also another method. You don't have to go for high-contrast hair color.

Maintenance: it takes only 15-20 minutes, but you have to retouch the roots once a month.
