COLORISTA EFFECTS BALAYAGE

I also had a really bad result from this. My hair is naturally blond, but turned a crazy unnatural yellow-pink-orange from this. Have had to do an interim ash to kill the brassiness, which turned quite grey over the balayage highlights.

I had balayaged my hair myself about five years ago. It was a different product and I decided to ignore all the instructions and go with my gut. It looked fantastic.

Flash forward to now. I decide to do it again but this time I chose this product and I followed the instructions. FIRSTLY, I highly recommend you do not start from the roots. Start from the bottom where you’ll have the most saturation, and work your way up to about two thirds/three quarters of the way up your hair. It looks so streaky when you do t according to their instructions.

SECONDLY, the colour is not blonde. Having done this before I know there are better products on the market. The colour is somewhere between auburn and caramel (so yes that means there’s a hint of ginger).

I’m disappointed. Perhaps if I had ignored the instructions and followed my gut instinct I would’ve got the results I was after.

FYI I have light brown hair.

This dyed my hair to a beautiful shade and was super easy to do balayage without having to pay £100 for my hairdresser to do it. My only complaint is that my hair is very dry after using it however after using the dream lengths hair mask this has improved a lot
