Ask for a "shoulder-length lob" with a "'lived-in' bronde balayage and a brighter, face-framing 'money piece'."
Tools:
Choosing Products
Sulfate-free, gentle shampoo; a bond-building conditioner; a weekly gloss mask with apple cider vinegar.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
The money piece is the brightest part, so use a purple shampoo just on those front sections to keep them from getting brassy.
The rest can be maintained with a simple color-safe shampoo.
Caring for your hair
This is the epitome of low-maintenance style.
The lob grows out well, the balayage is designed to have a soft grow-out, and the money piece is the only part that needs a regular touch-up.
