Braided Balayage Color Restoration

Hair filled darker, then a braided balayage and an all-over tone: a break from strenuous lightening, with shine and dimension back.

Stylist: Kailee Smith

The Starting Point

Our client came in after strenuous lightening sessions. She wanted color closer to her natural shade for easier maintenance, and her hair needed its integrity and shine restored.

Before: long, light blonde hair with dark grown-out roots, seated in the Candon Hair Studio chair
Before: lightened lengths and dark roots.
Before from the back: dry, wavy, light blonde hair with a dark root
From the back: hair in need of a break.

The Goal

She wanted to give her hair a break from lightening and bring back its health and shine, while keeping something dimensional that would suit her eye and skin tone.

The Approach

Kailee filled her hair to go darker, replacing depth in the lightened lengths so the new shade looks richer and holds better. She then used a braided balayage technique and toned the whole thing. Fills, balayage and toners are part of our color services.

The Result

Warm, dimensional color that sits closer to her natural base, with shine back in her hair and a shade chosen to flatter her.

If lightening has left your hair needing a break, book a consultation with Kailee.

After: long hair in warm, dimensional braided balayage with soft curls, smiling toward the camera
After: warm, dimensional and shiny.
After from a side angle: warm, dimensional balayage with soft waves and face-framing movement
Dimension that suits her eye and skin tone.
