During the process, L'Oréal Professionnel Smartbond was used to protect the hair from coloring. My hair actually felt in better condition after being dyed than it did before. My split ends looked much healthier!
I was also surprised with how natural the color looked. I expected it to be a huge shock when I looked in the mirror, but it wasn't the huge change I was expecting. It looked so natural that it didn't completely change the way I looked, which was nice. I also know that I won't have an obvious line of regrowth, which is the real bonus of balayage versus foils or traditional highlights. In fact, Jack advised that I could get my color touched up once every six months.
The only big change? I did have to rethink my makeup color choices! Note to self: orange eye shadow (which I was wearing the day of the appointment) is a big no-no when you're blonde!
