If you combine colours from one scheme, a very harmonious colour effect is created; if you combine colours from different schemes, exciting contrasts are the result. To top it all off, in addition to the 20 standard Balayage colours, we now offer one hand-dyed special dyeing per colour group - perfectly matching the individual colours and simply beautiful! Although the hanks are dyed in batches of 1kg, we make every effort to achieve the greatest possible dyeing uniformity.
