## 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.

**[Image: braided-balayage-color-restoration-before-back.webp]** — 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](https://candonhair.com/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](https://candonhair.com/team/kailee-smith/).
