[@criso7947]

I like how it turned out but why not leave the length on top instead of cutting it.

[@Gloomyraindrop]

It would be dry ASF since her hair is already really kinky and stuff and would damage it, since bleaching does that. Making it shorter would make the up keep easier. And she just wanted it so, does it matter?

[@shortylow9323]

Jennie Smythe I think she lifted the color a bit too much the warmth of this woman’s undertones calls for something more brassy and rich.. (my opinion) and I would have opted to keep most of the color on the ends of her hair vs total crown highlighting to have more of a flow far as coordination for this particular style profile. Still a nice job!!
