A balayage lob with texture, movement and shine by Jacqui Foley (@jsfhair).

"She naturally has very light hair and had about two and a half inches of regrowth when she came in," Foley explains on her Instagram post. "She has always been heavily highlighted on top and had a very dark shadow box underneath and around her hairline."

And here is how she created this lived-in blonde beauty:

STEP ONE:We lifted all the dark out and by some miracle it lightened perfectly.

STEP TWO:We mixed 7 & 8 NA (natural ash) to the roots and balayaged a few pieces to blend lines.

STEP THREE: We freshened up her cut and gave her some lived in texture.
