Rooty Balayage Blonde

This is Karen.  I've posted about her before. She first came to me as a full foil highlight and over the years I've soften her look to a rooty blonde with balayage (hand painted) highlights. A base color or "smudge" is applied all over to the new growth to lighten her base color a little and also cover the few greys that keep trying to peak through. This base color then becomes the beautiful lowlight (that was my plan) as her hair grows out. The balayage highlights are painted on to the hair very free form which makes for a softer, more lived in blonde.
