Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
For an at-home balayage routine, I recommend using a high-lift developer and a balayage-specific color formula.
Start by sectioning your hair into four parts.
And apply the color to each section using a balayage brush.
Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and process the color for the recommended amount of time to avoid over-processing.
Once you’ve applied the color, use a round brush to blow-dry your hair, focusing on lifting the roots and smoothing out the ends.
This will help to create a more natural, sun-kissed effect.
