Real specific-technique tool for balayage work (the French \"sweeping\" technique of hand-painted colour giving natural sun-kissed graduation, distinct from traditional foil highlights). The 24cm x 10.5cm board area is the extra-long size specifically for long-hair clients — shorter boards would run out of length on long-hair sections, requiring multiple repositions per section which affects the smooth graduation the technique depends on. The board features a textured side (for gripping hair sections during controlled application) and a smooth side (for gliding techniques), giving colourists versatility for different balayage approaches. The slightly curved edge lets the board sit against the natural scalp contour, allowing close-to-root work without pressing the board hard against the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessional balayage board, extra-long size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoard area: 24cm long x 10.5cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecifically for long-hair balayage work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTextured side for gripping hair sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth side for glide techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurved edge for scalp-contour fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard balayage workflow: section the hair per your usual balayage technique. Position the balayage board behind the section being painted, with the curved edge sitting against the scalp for close-to-root work or held further from the scalp for mid-length balayage graduation. Use the textured side face-up when you need the section to grip in place during controlled painting, or the smooth side face-up when you want the section to glide during sweeping applications. Paint bleach or colour onto the section, working the product from mid-lengths down to the ends with the sweeping motion characteristic of balayage. The board catches product that goes past the section, protecting the scalp. Reposition and repeat across all sections. Clean the board thoroughly between clients per your salon hygiene protocol — bleach and colour residue should be removed to prevent cross-contamination between clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis balayage board is for professional colourists doing balayage work on long-hair clients specifically. We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working salon, we know balayage is one of the sustained-trend colour techniques of the last decade — its natural sun-kissed graduation reads more considered than traditional foil highlights, and it grows out more gracefully (less obvious regrowth line at the root as the hair grows). For long-hair clients, the extra-long board is essential — trying to work long-hair balayage with a shorter board means constant repositioning within a single section, which breaks up the smooth graduation the technique depends on. Colourists doing regular long-hair balayage work will find the extra-long size worth having as the dedicated long-hair tool alongside a standard-size board for shorter-hair clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore more\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/revivehairartists.co.uk\/collections\/hair-colouring-tools\"\u003ehair colouring tools\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/revivehairartists.co.uk\/collections\/hair-tools\"\u003eHair Tools\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/revivehairartists.co.uk\/collections\/shop-by-brand\"\u003eshop by brand\u003c\/a\u003e ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree UK delivery on all orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eFor professional and adult use. Between-client hygiene is essential — clean the board thoroughly between clients per your salon hygiene protocol, particularly removing all bleach and colour residue to prevent cross-contamination. Do not use with damaged or scratched surface — clean intact surface is important for hygienic reuse. Store dry and away from bleach\/chemical storage areas to protect the board finish over service life. Keep out of reach of children — small enough to pose a hazard for young children, and typically stored with associated colour chemicals in salon environments. Not for use as a general spatula tool outside its intended balayage-colour-technique purpose.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hair Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52061471605029,"sku":"SD97048","price":11.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5337\/7573\/files\/97048_ff2727dd-800c-4b58-a3fb-37bfd3cd606e.jpg?v=1773138581","url":"https:\/\/revivehairartists.co.uk\/products\/hair-tools-long-balayage-board","provider":"Revive Hair Artists","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
