Finally figured out why my balayage placements looked muddy
A client brought in a photo from a magazine shoot, and I saw the light pieces were way higher up near the root than I'd been doing. I was keeping everything too low, thinking it looked more natural. After that, I tried placing my first foil an inch from the scalp instead of three, and the whole thing lifted brighter. Anyone else get stuck in a placement habit they had to break?

Ever get stuck on the idea that face-framing pieces have to start at the chin? I was doing that for ages and it always looked so heavy. Lifting those starting points up near the cheekbone changed everything for me.
