Fast forward to fall with this hair color that will make an instant and unexpected statement.

➰? RUBY KNOT ➰? . . . . . . . . . Custom reds have my heart ❤ I love adding depth with violet at the root & keeping my balayage pattern low to give a softer look. I brightened it up with this custom melt and added copper to the ends so it reflects brightness ✨ #DANIELLEDOESHAIR
