Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
One of the things I love about purple balayage is that it can be achieved at home with the right products and techniques.
To get started, you’ll need a good quality purple hair dye, a balayage brush, and a bit of practice.
First, section your hair into small sections and apply the dye to each section using the balayage brush.
Then, use a bit of heat to help the dye penetrate the hair shaft.
Once you’ve applied the dye, you can use a round brush to blow out your hair and achieve a smooth, sleek finish.
To add a bit of texture and volume, you can use a curling iron or a flat iron to create a few loose waves.
And to finish off the look, you can use a bit of hairspray to set the style in place.
