6 weeks postpartum this week and looking to refresh my hair. Have had balayage for 5 years but the last time I had this done was August 2021 (was due for a top up in December but found out I was pregnant and can’t stand hair dye/chemical smells in pregnancy so I cancelled!)
I’ve had it cut since so there is less blonde as it grows out, but still obviously two-tone and with more grey on the roots…I can’t afford to maintain balayage whilst on mat leave and with all the bills skyrocketing but want a refresh to make me feel more like me and less sleep/deprived human feeding machine 😅 I was toying with darkening my hair anyway as I was getting bored of the balayage.
If it hasn’t been coloured in over a year, could I get away with a home dye to a light brown/darker caramel colour or am I still at risk of green hair?! Is there a ‘cheaper’ option or do I need to suck it up and pay for the hairdresser to do a colour makeover?
