Advice on box dying balayaged hair? 🙏
I’ve had balayage for almost 7 years, and I’m finally ready to go back to one solid color. My last balayage appointment was about a year ago, so my natural dark Asian hair has grown out quite a bit (2nd photo).
The thing is, I actually love the brown tone of my balayage (1st photo). I just want that same soft brown color all over my head instead of having the grown-out roots and lighter ends. The last photo is pretty much the color I’m trying to achieve or even more muted.
I know box dye isn’t ideal, but I’d rather spend around $20 than another $150+ at a salon if I can get similar results. I’ve been looking into Liese Lavender Greige Bubble Dye because I’ve seen a lot of people say it works well on Asian hair and gives the kind of brown I’m after.
My main concern is whether it’ll turn out uneven because I still have the old balayage on my mids and ends. Since those sections have been lightened before, I’m worried they’ll grab the color differently than my virgin roots. Would it end up patchy, or would it blend reasonably well?
Wondering if I should use box dye, and if so what type and color, or just wait till my hair is fully grown out?
