New Hair Color -- Desert Sunset Balayage

New Hair Color -- Desert Sunset Balayage

I'm back with new hair color!  The inspiration was a mashup between "galaxy" hair (purple, pink, teal, blue, like this one) and "sunset" hair (pink purple, orange, like I originally had here) with more contrast and less blending compared to my past iterations (as inspired by this reference photo)....
