People spend three hundred bucks on a "lived-in" balayage that looks exactly like the grow-out I'd give you for free if you just ghosted your colorist for eight months 🤷♂️ The irony kills me every time someone sits in my chair asking for the "I don't try" look while showing me a Pinterest board of twelve reference photos. Honey, your grandmother achieved that aesthetic in 1972 by simply not giving a shit.
