I’m actually #21 and have to be honest when I say this was simply taken off my Instagram without my knowledge and a friend happened to see it (but I’m totally cool with it). What you see in the pic was simply from the fact I asked my hairstylist to just bleach my roots so I could use my deposit shampoo color to gradually add color. It was sheer dumb luck that the colors showed up in the middle between the two and was NOT intentional. I took the photo bc it was unusual but it only stayed this way until I washed my hair. 😂 Instagram: 4theloveoffurbabies
