Beauty and the Least

I Finally Got Balayage!

Hi loves! I have to admit I’m different than most women in that I don’t dye my hair on the regular. I tried it once in high school and got scared off after the hairdresser gave me the Ginger Spice signature two blonde streaks framing the face (remember that – yikes!) I didn’t dye it again until college where I’d sometimes use box dyes to go from brown to a darker brown/borderline black (I mainly did this also for the amazing glossiness that box dye conditioner bottle gives!) A couple years ago, I did get some highlights done, but I let them fade out and didn’t keep up with it at all. I’ve been wanting to try balayage for a while and finally made a trip to see my girl Katlyn at Femme Akoi salon (in the Tampa/Clearwater area.) You can listen to my Woman Crush Wednesday Interview with Katlyn here & check out the pictures of my hair:

I think I might go lighter in the future, but we wanted to take baby steps since my I basically had virgin hair. What do you guys think!? <3
