What Is Balayage?
Balayage is an application technique, rather than a specific color, that creates a soft, multidimensional highlight. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage involves painting lighteners freehand onto the hair with a brush. Colorists use brushes to paint sweeps of vertical highlights onto the hair, usually layered with strips of cotton between each section. The balayage technique isn’t just for blonde hair as it can also be used on all hair types to create shades of caramel, espresso, pastel — really any tone — strands.

What Bob Looks Nice With Balayage?
Actually, balayage can easily match any haircut and any hair length but the longer hair you have, the more of it you will see, so if you take an outgrown, collarbone or just a long bob, your balayage will be more spectacular. Though even if you take quite a short bob, some highlights will give it more dimension and it will look cooler.
Consider having any highlights you want, including contouring around your face or even a money piece accented. As for the shades, choose what you like or consult your colorist to create a slighter or starker contrast. If you have a wavy or even curly bob, your balayage will blend in in a very natural way, and if you have straight hair, balayage will be clearly seen and you may want babylights to make it more delicate or an ombre effect.
