Ashley Brooke If your hair ever gets too light for your liking again, try a Color Touch toner from Sally's by Wella. Any blue violet color in a level 8-10 (10.12 is most popular shade) will neutralize brass for longer than the conditioner did and shade it down slightly for you. Demi-permanent will hydrate the hair more after lightening so look for that. Only an extra 8 dollars 👍🏽
Jai Rolka hi I'm a hairdresser too but I haven't worked in salon yet because of my small daughter , how would u say u learned most of the chemical techniques ? Classes? On ur own ? Or salon experience
Sign up for any class you can get to. Keep watching videos. Dig out your mannequins from school and experiment with techniques you're interested in perfecting. Personally, I felt like I didn't learn enough about modern color technique in beauty school. I was too busy with my student clientele, which was mainly mature women who wanted root retouches/perms/wash&sets etc. Lots of all-over coloring, color corrections, and tons of high-lights, though. Still, I feel like you- color is my passion and I want to learn more. I want to learn the cutting-edge techniques. I only did 2 balayages in school- can you imagine?!?! Find a salon that values continuing education. I'm about to start at a very prestigious salon in my area (they go work Fashion Week every year!). They won't pay me much at first, but I know the value of what I'll learn from experienced people.
After watching this, I went out and bought the same dye and tried this... I've never done this to myself, but after washing and drying my hair I have to say I'd recommend doing this even if you're skeptical! I followed the video exactly, and honestly, I would say it looks just as good as going to a salon!
Dear Ashley, thank you so much, I'm a jobless girl, studying and I wanted to try something to make a little difference in my frustrating and depressive life! You really helped me, that too, all for free! I'm sending my true love and blessings directly from India! 😘💕❤️
I was actually planning on highlighting my hair today and wanted to see how others do it. I was just gonna use a cap, then came across this balayage and your video. I LOVE this. You explained it so great and I love that you showed us how to actually do it. It looks so good. I never heard of this before. And I plan on doing this instead!! Thank you!
You did a great job, one thing that might help you next time: That is bleach, and if it dries out completely, it will deactivate it or at least slow it down. If you lay down some saran wrap (I know, sounds weird), between each section you drop down, it'll help keep it wet when you apply heat. I'm a licensed cosmetologist, so I'm supposed to tell you not to do this at all by yourself, but you didn't do anything wrong and you have a good eye for placement and sectioning.
THANK YOU!! I'm trying to save money at the moment, so I've been scouring CZcams & the internet for weeks, in search for the perfect DIY balayage tutorial. After watching this, I need not look any further! This is the best one I have found...even better than Jessie James Decker's. I love that your directions are simple & fairly brief, yet still highly descriptive. You make it very easy to follow! And your hair looks gorgeous! Thanks again for sharing your tutorial! 👍
THIS VID!! I did my first DIY balayage using this video over a year ago. Since then, I have gotten more adventurous with my DIY hair colouring and currently am enjoying my DIY pink balayage. Thanks for this!
I love your hair, I just finished watching your styling video too!! It is so effortless and flowy. Thank you for this video I can't wait to try this technique out, especially since I can't spend a fortune at the salon! Thanks again, please keep your updated hair routines coming!
Found your channel from this video and I've been binge watching since! I used this technique on my hair two days ago and have gotten so many compliments since! Than you :)
love it - balayage is a nice natural looking way of applying the colour so even if its not perfect it still looks more natural than flat out colouring. Brilliant & thanks
loved this video! I've been highlighting my hair at home for over 20 yrs and finally see something i haven't used -- the hair dryer!! this is brilliant and a great way to speed the process up a bit. sometimes i sit for an hour in agony waiting. very cool video with awesome results.
Yes, I always add heat! Make sure to cover your hair before you put heat on it though. Someone told me it will dry out if you don't. I plan on using a shower cap :)
Thank God I came across your video! I just did this last night and it turned out fab-o. I bought the same box (same issue with my brown hair taking forever to lift!) and did tiny pieces at a time. Using the gloves was annoying, so I used my fingers too, although I rinsed off my hands every 10 minutes or so to avoid bleaching my fingertips. Saved $$$. Less than $10 spent!
You need to use latex or nitrile gloves like they use in hospitals or salons (I get mine in the cleaning section of Walgreens or acme). The big plastic deli gloves that come in dye kits suck.
I did this two days ago and it turned out so good! Thank you for making this video! I'm gonna do it again soon to lighten it up more and I can't wait. :) it was more fun than highlighting, and it looks more natural as well. xx
well I suppose when you put yourself out there, you cannot escape criticism! Anyway, I appreciate that you did because this is very helpful. I've dyed my own hair with a box when I was younger and then started going to the salon but I'm tired of spending the money! So THANK YOU I think I am going to use this technique!!
God!! I've been watching and watching videos and finally found one that really explains things well and give out useful tips. Def trying it this weekend. Thanks
You, my dumbass friend, are depressed. Jk idk . But you probably are either incredibly self conscious, so you try to make yourself feel beautiful by doing that, or you have self confidence.
Did you use do it as a touch up? I know that’s what she did and I’m wondering if I did it on my natural hair if it would look similar (I have dirty blonde hair)
Wow! Love the view, can't imagine waking up to that everyday. Jesse James Decker has the same video, I think she calls it honey dippin. Very good technique, I think I'll try it for lowlights. Good for you, great job!
you made it look so easy, I've done my balayage twice but always nervous and ask someone else to help me out with things and do the back of my hair. But i am gonna try your way now i feel all motivated loved it!💜
Omg thankyou ive looked and looked for tutorials either they are not very explaining or they are too scary and damaging but this is light and easy ❤❤❤❤
Finger painting! Never considered this yet it turned out well on her hair. Better for touch ups rather than full balayage:) Thanks for this alternative method!
Omg seriously..perfect! I did this couple years ago.. And I've been trying to decide to go back (because, well... I don't feel like myself anymore ha) first vid I watched... And now my mind is set! Thanks for sharing:)))
I tried it the method you used and it worked perfectly thank you so much i'm so happy about it! And btw you are so beautyful and you deserve so much more followers because also your fashion videos and the others are georgeos :)
As a hairdresser, I would 1000% recommend this to anyone who can't afford a balayage. Just remember small pieces, and good job 👍🏽
+Jai Rolka thank you 😘😘

As a control freak about my hair, the idea of placing my own baylayage sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing this!
I am loving following you and your videos. I've binged watched you over the last few days :) Loving all the videos!

This turned out beautifully! Omg! ❤️
Great video. I've been doing this myself for a while and it's really cool to see someone finally make a good video to share with everyone. Nice job!
I tried this on my hair and it looks like I went to a pro. This technique works so well!
So pretty! I just discovered your videos and I love them so far. How to style are my fav I think.Thanks a lot

+Ashley Brooke I would love to see pictures! Tag me on Instagram :) and yes, the gloves are super annoying 🙄
Hi Sweetie... wear gloves next time.
You need to use latex or nitrile gloves like they use in hospitals or salons (I get mine in the cleaning section of Walgreens or acme). The big plastic deli gloves that come in dye kits suck.
Holy crap that turned out super beautiful
I did this two days ago and it turned out so good! Thank you for making this video! I'm gonna do it again soon to lighten it up more and I can't wait. :) it was more fun than highlighting, and it looks more natural as well. xx
what product did you use?
I used Schwarzkopf Poly Blonde M2 Medium. It looks very natural and blends in very nicely!
Kristina Sandnes hii what was your natural hair Colour?
My natural hair color is dark blonde. :)
U r so pretty number one , I love ur eyebrows too !! And ur hair looks so professional thank u for this video much appreciated
well I suppose when you put yourself out there, you cannot escape criticism! Anyway, I appreciate that you did because this is very helpful. I've dyed my own hair with a box when I was younger and then started going to the salon but I'm tired of spending the money! So THANK YOU I think I am going to use this technique!!
I love how that's an old t shirt for her she should see mine 😂
Literally thought the same... I was like uhhh where can i get that shirt??

Ooooh, I was cringing and thinking: "Wash your hands! Wash your hands!" ;)
I was thinking "why aren't you wearing gloves?"

I was confused how she wasn't burnt , bleach is my nemesis in the salon!
Omg thankyou ive looked and looked for tutorials either they are not very explaining or they are too scary and damaging but this is light and easy ❤❤❤❤

+Rosalia Perez Great idea. I usually trim mine before coloring also :)
Let me know how it turns out if you decide to try it!
I love the idea of being able to customize the placement of the balayage but too scared to do this myself
Beautiful! 😍 Going to try this on myself 💁🏻🙂
