What I asked for vs what I got

I’ve been going blonder and blonder for the past 8 years and now I couldn’t love my new lived in/bronde any more 🤎

I showed my hairstylist these pics and we talked about what I liked and didn’t like. We decided on a bright money piece and bright ends with a blendy balayage at my roots! I’ll probably keep going darker but wanted to make the transition gradually as someone who usually hates change 😂

... Read moreFor those considering a hair transformation, the process can be both exciting and daunting. Blonder hair trends continue to evolve, and staying informed about these changes is crucial. A vivid money piece can dramatically lighten your look while blending seamlessly with rich balayage at the roots. This method not only achieves a fresh style but also requires less upkeep, making it a practical choice for many. Be sure to discuss your preferences with a professional stylist, and don't hesitate to mention previous inspirations to guide your transition. Patience is key in hair color transformations, especially if you wish to gradually move darker or lighter, ensuring you love the outcome as much as the process. Whether aiming for a lived-in blonde, bronde, or platinum blonde, understanding the maintenance and care is essential to enjoy your new look to the fullest. Embrace your hair journey with confidence!
