Coloured hair is a process, but it's worth it. "Typically, I lighten the area to be coloured first and usually tease the sections before I apply the lightener to keep the line of the demarcation soft", Goff explains that doing just the tips doesn't require as much of a graduation or strong technique as balayage does. Once this is done, she applies the desired colours and design, which is where the imagination truly comes in.
