Omg... I can’t handle it. You’re soooo funny, I’m seriously crying.🤣 love your videos because they make me happy, and they’re super informative even when you forget what your talking about, (yay! I’m not the only one who does this allll the time!)🤣 such a stunning results & like always, life changing tips! 😘
Hello and thank you so much! You’re definitely not alone with that😂😂😂
I’m going to put this video on so we could do our hair together 💕 It’s gonna be so much fun! I’m going to follow along with you.
Oh good! I hope it turns out!
You have no idea just how helpful you are, especially trying to do this at home on our own hair!! Your tips are so appreciated and I love your candid honesty! It makes me feel less pressure to try and do it perfectly.
Oh good! Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! I’m glad the videos help. Even as a stylist, it can be hard sometimes!
Haha I LOVE your personality! And I love you do your own hair! I haven’t let anyone touch my hair in almost 10 years and do full baby light foils from back to front it’s a fricking process but I just don’t trust anyone to do it how I want
When I can relate soooo hard that I feel the pain of your foil slipping on your 3rd highlight... I was watching and hoping you got it back up to the root and I realized I was making a face and all tensed up like I was watching a horror movie, lol. You're amazing. And a perfectionist I can tell 💛🖤💛🖤
Hi Kristi, thank you for your time! You have a great skill! I am so impressed!!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! It came out so good! I place the foil on a balayage board and that helps me to see and paint on the bleach when I'm working on the top of my head or the underneath sections.
Yes! Someone else mentioned that! It's so cool to hear everyone else's ideas! Thank you for watching!
I love watching you work girl! You inspire me!
I'm still learning to do hair and I'm really impressed how you did your own hair and in just a couple of hours. I wish to have your skills in time! And btw I think you do really good, not every one is going to like you or your content, but as long as you enjoy the time making your videos that should be rewarding to you and the people who likes em. I really enjoy learning from your videos and knowing how to formulate correctly because for me is still a little hard to get the result I have in my mind and the final outcome. Its hard to really get the exact results. Thanks you for sharing your content and knowledge. Hugs! Akira.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Honestly, formulating will always be something that we think long and hard about and that's ok cause trends change. There's still things that I have to think about, so don't let that get you down. Know your color lines and continue education and you'll be great!
Thank you so much for spending your time on my channel!
Looks really good for a simple service on yourself🥰 and i love that toner on you, so soft 👏🏻
Hello! Thank you so much! Yes, definitely more subtle this time. Less time than normal, but glad at least it's something!
I hope you are doing well and having a good start to the new year!
Looks wonderful!!! 💖 Great tips in there. Definitely makes me wanna gonna do my hair now!! 😊
I just was binge watching you I’m starting back in a salon after a few years of working as a florist. You have taught me more than cos school ever did I love your personality and your so funny you talked about losing 2 subscribers their loss ! That made me sad but you can’t please everyone but they are losing out on so much education!! Thank you for all your hard work making these videos your making a change in the world . Not everyone can say that. I wish I lived closer so My hair could benefit from your work. Thank you so much!!!!
Ahh freakin amazing chic! What a great job on your own hair, I can't even imagine doing this on myself... You are a true Artist!!!
Love your personality! Been a hairstylist for 10 yrs. Watching your do’s and don’ts videos I know enough about hair that you are legit. I love that you are thorough regardless of time. Very good at explaining and teaching. Great hairstylist! There are always new things and other ways to learn in this business. Definitely will stay a supporter.
Oh thank you so much! I love and appreciate this feedback, thank you so much for watching! And yes, thorough to a fault 😂😂
You are gorgeous love AND today was a blast watching you do your own hair! ❤❤❤ your content xoxo from Alaska
You are hilarious 😂💝 Very pretty result, too!
Thank you so much for watching!
Love your style of work!. Very precise! Thank you so much! You are much Fun! I can see why you would do so well being a hairdresser!
I do my own foils( hairstylist). The crown is always the toughest because its so hard to see that area in the mirror. But I always get it in the end. Sometimes I have 1 or 2 to fix and that slways bums me out because of the time issue. But doing it myself I get the color exactly how I want it so its all good! A good frame of mind before I begin is what its all about! I've learned never do hair tired! Great job yours🥰
Thank you, and I agree! I prefer doing it myself cause then I know il get exactly what I want!
I am cracking up here! I’m a crack head!! Doing your own foils!! You’re good! I love your work!
New year, new hair, very nice and soft.Good luck for your New Year!
Thank you! Yes! Starting the year with fresh hair! I hope all is well for you in the new year!
Glad I found your Channel! Love your attitude! Needed this video for my hair! Thx n load more videos 😎
I just love you! Thank you for all your videos, I’ve learned a lot from you 😊
Awww so sweet! Thank you so much for watching!
GIRL. Your my new favorite! Education + fun = goooood shit! It's like hanging out with a (drunk) friend. Thanks for doing this for us!
I love your videos! And forget about those who unsubscribe. You have a tribe. I’m doing my hair tomorrow and so grateful you show us how. I wish I lived near you. I would trust you with my hair.
Thank you! I try not to let it bother me lol I appreciate all of you loyals! I hope your hair turned out good!
Your weaves are impressive doing it on yourself from all kinds of crazy angles🔥
Thank you!
Thank you for helping me get a beautiful grow out. I have Albinism so it’s hard to grow that out dying it nearly black lol. Now I have beautiful foil placement. No stylist does my hair how I like it and need it to be so now I can do it on my own with confidence. I have a STEM degree and art degree so only thing I lack is knowledge of the best foil placements. Your videos help so much! Thanks Kristi!
I love love your work.. you always do an amazing job! ♥️♥️
Thank you so much!
I can only dream to have your level of skills to do your own. My nerves won’t let me haha. You did great. Just subbed so you may have lost two but gained one. You have a great personality, you’re entertaining and you teach me more than I learned in hairdressing school. ❤
Thank you so much! And we all start somewhere! Happy to see you here!
i LOVE your videos, they help a lot and you're my favorite hair channel and i would definitely watch if u did live videos!! ❤️❤️
Thank you! That means so much! ♥️♥️
New subscriber here and on Instagram! I wish I had the guts to do this to my own hair. Looks great! Thank you for the videos❤️
Oh heyyy! Thank you so much for subscribing and following!
I just want to let u know I love you! Your personality is just like mine and a lot of hairstylists on youtube are so much alike and you stand out from them. I've been waiting on a video of you doing your own hair. So thank you! I wish I was in your area so you could do my hair but unfortunately there isn't any good ones so I do my own hair.
Thank you so much! I was really worried people wouldn't like my videos cause I'm not like the other typical CZcams hairstylist. Thank you for watching! I need to do my hair again soon so keep an eye out in the next few weeks!
This hair colorist was amazing! I love her work! More tutorial and new techniques please I really admired your work. I also did it to my client. Godbless ❤️
Hello! Thank you so much for the compliment! Next time I do my hair again, I'll upload!
We love you too Kristi. You do great job. Kisess from Greece.
Don't be sad, your video (although long) is helpful in that it shows how your thought process and how you decide what to do with issues in bleaching one's own hair. I watched this video several times and attempted my 2nd bleach hair at home, and it was much more successful than my first attempt. This will help me looking decent until my next highlights appointment with a professional. Thank you so much for sharing and posting. I can never do my own hair but we need tips to do a small job in between salon appointment. You've got a new subscriber 💌💌💌
Beautiful.Looks hard but can be done.Great job..❤
Thanks! Yes. Very tiring!
I enjoy your videos so much. You are awesome!
Thank you so much for watching!
Your a lovely person Kirsti ⭐ I've learned alot from you, thanks for your work 👌
Awesome..looks great
Your hair lifts so nice because your natural color is already light. Looks beautiful.
I really love you, just done same to my hair, before watching your video, while seating here with the toner 9.22 all over my hair lol ❤️
Oh awesome! I hope it turns out!
No showing is an ahole move! I’m watching this because I just had one! So glad to hear about the water in the BlondMe I just had a horrible bleeding experience and I’ve been at this 30 years 🤦🏻♀️ your videos are a life saver
Yes it is! A 1 time pass...... I know im not perfect lol. More than that, find a new stylist.
Yay.. excited
Love your videos! Very informative - you don't talk too much :) Love that you're down-to-earth, no-fluffy crap and I totally respect your expertise. Oh yes, and just an FYI: when I have unsubscribed from a YT channel its usually because I'm no longer into that subject, eg. fitness, trading, nails etc. - definitely not because I no longer like that person or their channel. Anyway, thanks for these fantastic videos and keep up the great work!
thank you very much for the video! DIY highlights is for the brave! that was fast!
I usually don't do the whole head in one session : I do face frame separately from the rest and do it more often. I use Vario Super Plus rather than Blondme as I have bad experience with bleeders (but I will try your trick one of these days), so I keep the bleach not too runny to try and avoid them; I find that doing the crown right is tricky; last time I did a diagonal placement around the middle part, and when I got in the back, the foils were almost vertical, which was not bad actually, after a root tap. I love the 7.4 too, but now I mix it with 7.57 to have a more coppery hue on roots and lowlights; have you tried 7.4 on roots with the 9.5-49 toner on the lengths & ends? I tried it and found it really pretty.
I like doing some sort of root smudge to blend greys and any demarcation line from the highlights, but how would you keep the blonde bright when rincing?
I haven't tried that but it sounds pretty! I want to now, I will keep that in mind, thank you!
I feel like leaving the hair around the hairline and ends for very last few minutes helps keep it bright. It's so porous, it can really grab. I usually don't have problem with it while rinsing, maybe using cooler water.... just explain to clients first.
You are an excellent instructor I have learned more from I m this particular video than others in general
Thank you so much! I’m glad it helped!
I'm a hairdresser and this is me! My clients are like, " so who does ur hair?".....uh ME once every 5mths during a no show
your the best! entertaining and genuine. I think you are more detailed at revealing how you do things. Can't please everyone!
Haha love your sense of humour and when your voice goes high it’s so funny! Been binge watching your videos we are currently in lockdown here in England so I’m not able to open my salon atm 😓 at least I can get my fix by watch hair being done 😅💕
😂😂👌👌 can you tell my BF that? Lmao he's always like, babe. Do you have to be so loud? YES! I do!
Hopefully lockdown ends soon! In the meantime, thank you for watching!
They’re dumb for in following you Kristi !❤ You’ll get 100 more for those 2 😊. We all love you 😘
You're awesome girl 💗
Hey! I love your videos. You seem real and true to your personality. 🤗 I have a question... If you would've used a root smudge in an ashy tone, and then a brighter, blonder pearl tone on the mids and ends, which Igora vibrance toner colours would you have used?
I love your work and how funny you are.
Thank you!
I loved loved loveddd this video, especially because it showed so much more of your friendly personality. I know you quiet down a bit because of clients sitting there. But I loved watching you all sassy and loud🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the faces u pull whilst doing it 😝 better than mine 😂 I can’t do the bk of mine at all! Don’t worry about one or two subscribers, u have many more than me! Ur hair turned out fabulous!! Well done xxx
Thank you! Crazy faces I guess! Lol I shouldn't worry about those subscribers.... you'r right! I am grateful for all of you!
I love watching your video's. I have trouble with color and toners, I have no clue what to use, that's why I'm getting my hair done by a stylist. I did bleach the bottom of my hair once, and I tried to color it a light blue, and it turned green, and I got most of it white, so I don't understand what happened, that's why I'll never do it again. I know using box dye is bad, but I've been using it since I started getting gray hair, about twenty years ago, and this will be the first time I'm getting my hair done by a professional, I want a balayage, dark on top, and light all the way down the hair, I want the tips white, if they can do it without my hair falling out. LOL.
Love your videos and your work. Subscribed ❤😊
You did a great job! I absolutely love it.
You are beautiful. I love your forehead. I have always had a small one. So one of my dearest friend/ boss waxed my forehead about 1/2 an inch to make it look bigger. This happened when I was 30yrs old. I'm 62 now.I have tons of hair. I'm also white since I was thirty. I do a level 7-8 gold.
Im going to do the front of my hair like you did yours! Thank you, your videos are very inspiring. Been doing color for 42 years.
Blessings, 🙏👼🌹✨✨✨🙌
😂😂 oh this made me laugh, thank you! My forehead has a fan!
You make a lot of sense. Thank you for this. Also I was worried about processing times for different sections as I’m sooo slow. So does rubbing the bleach off each foil actually stop it from processing ? Or does only a proper shampoo rinse do that? Thanks 🙏
Damn where were you before I burnt my hair off in 2020! I had all 10 levels in my hair and some on the same sections lmao 😂 I’m black level 1 a with some grey now. Thinking of using your technique thx for the vid! I use Schwarzkopf which I do use 20 vol in front and 40 or 30 for the rest and it still takes a minute. Like 100’s of min. Yours hopefully won’t take my blood,sweat and hair this time. It’s one length, virgin slightpast shoulders and I had waist length before I knew how good that shit was and you shouldn’t bleach 5 times in a year over blonde to add to the fun for shits and giggles. Thank god I have the time to pull myself together!
I dont care about those 2 subs either, you're the BEST BABE!!! You teach me so much and I would totally get drunk with u 🤪
My biggest problem doing my own hair weaving. I wanted to try those weave combs. I am a stylist I just don’t have as much practice with foils on myself.
Haha since U lost two followers on this video I decided to subscribe.. your vids are informative and U have a great personality.. my roots are hella grown out so ima use this technique and put some baby lights in on my own ….ouufff im scurred
I am a new subscriber. I am glad I found your channel ❤️ You are so sweet and funny too. You do excellent work.
Hello! Welcome to my channel, thank you so much for subscribing!
Beautiful🙌🏻love it💕
Thank you!
OMG. you are so Professional. I love your Video.
You did a amazing job on your hair
Thank you!
Loving it but how u do low lights in between and make sure doesn’t bleed to my lighter pieces like do I add the low lights at the end and rinse them off first ? Pleasee help but this was so helpful thanks xoxox
I think that coffee was kicking in 😂😂😂 also idk how you do it. I’ve tried foiling my own hair and I struggle!! lol I wish I could take my hair off like a wig.
Thank you I learn so much from you you are wonderful
I've watched this so many times, I love it! I have tried to do my hair a few times and I always have issues with the foil slipping around. I usually just use regular kitchen aluminum foil. Would I have a better time if I purchased actual hair foils? Or I saw someone use some sort of sticky mesh the other day and so I was thinking that may help. Thoughts? Love you and your videos!!!
I bought fancy thick Framar foils and they probably slipped worse than when I used heavy duty aluminum kitchen foil this time. I think what really made the difference is 1. I really made sure my hair was oily & dirty and they stuck to it better cause of the grit. 2. TENSION! I made sure the foil was as snug as could be to the root and really held the hair down tight against it. 3. Saturation. The more thick goopy bleach I applied the better it stuck.
I use the Blonde me bleach - you turned me unto it - LOVE IT!! Thank you💖 I do my own high lights and I cut a piece of card broad out, then I place the foil on the broad fold it over at the top, then I swipe a small amount of bleach on the foil to hold my hair down while I'm placing the bleach. ( it's real elementary but it works...lol )
Your hair came out nice...but I think YOU what look amazing as a brite blond w/ your light eyes.
Oh wow! Im glad you like it! You totally found a system that works for you. That's so awesome!
@@hairbykristijennings6648 yeah, one of these days I'm going fly out to WA to get my hair done by you!!
That would be awesome!
You are amazing and a very intelligent hairdresser 👍👍👍👍
Very proud of you ❤️❤️
So sweet! Thank you so much! ♥️♥️
lol!! love your personality
Thank you so much!
Lol when you got to the formulation part🤣
Talent!
Aww ….. kristi , I started following jus kinda recently! Or watevers but I love u and u have all of us still!!! Babahaha …, love u, mean it ! Hate u, kidding!🙏😘🥰❣️💖💖🤷🏼♀️👩🏼
Great job!!
Thank you so much! ♥️♥️
I tried this one time. My arms was so sore lol and I only had done one side lol. When I got to my crown I didn’t realize I missed the foil and tapped my root 😂 I needed up w a stripe above my highlight and then my original highlight 😂 I won’t try again. Jk I might one day but only the hair line for brightness in the front lol
Your new color turned out pretty good. I do like you as a blonde. Your grave hi lighting your own hair .
Love your videos 🇮🇪
Hi I usually do my own lites but only a half head , my arms always sore next day ha ha . Good job love from hairdresser in Ireland in lockdown again 😂😐♥️
Ugh, I hate lockdown! But perfect time to do your own hair! Hopefully you'll be back to work soon!
Lol! I love this whole video
Oh yay! Thank you for watching! I know it was long!
Super!
Did you back comb and bleach all the front pieces that were left out on your forehead? Also on the back I have watched people pull the piece forward on top to bleach. Have you tried that?
I normally don’t back comb right on my hairline. I think I have other videos foiling pulling it forward how you mention. This video I was just trying to hurry and do something fast lol
My favorite of your videos
🥰🥰🥰
Love your videos
I would watch you on a live. You are great!
Thank you! Lives are always so awkward lol 😂 I
Great tips thank you !!
Of course! Thank you For watching!!!
You're great ❤ya!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Beautiful came out so good 😍
Wanted to ask what tail comb do you use?
Im not sure exactly, it's larger from Cosmo prof.
I love you and I love watching your videos your the best💖💖
Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️
You are amazing 👏 wow you are very very precise with your weaving I am very impressed 👏😀😊😄
Oh thank you! Years of practice!
We love you because you ruffle your hair as if you did it, with your beautiful forehead, and because you are you and do great hair ❤️
❤love that I'm in salon waiting on client so good
Hey 👋☺️ just had a question, so since your hair line is the most fragile hair on your head, why do you start there first??
Because I still use a weaker bleach, 20 isn’t too strong and I’ll pull foils if I need to. But I’ve never had problems
Love watching your videos
How long do you leave the bleach on to process ?
Hello! Roughly an hour. Thank you for watching!
When you were toweling out the bleach was the towel wet or dry?
Dry
How do you regulate your timing or do you just check the Foils?
Is there a bleach and developer you would recommend for those of us who want to touch up their highlights at home who don’t have access to professional grade products? I know amazon offers blonde me but after hearing about product diversion from you I’m very apprehensive😭❤️
Your correct, I'd be careful to order online. Honestly, I don't really know anything about Sally's beauty supply. Id ask or research what's a gentle bleach to use. KEEP IN MIND, employees there aren't licensed and are hired off the street, do not ask for advice. They once told someone to TONE with 40 vol 😱😱🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Go no higher than 20 vol developer, don't attempt anything life changing. Start with a few foils to see how you feel about doing it. Start minimal...... less chance to mess up.
Your such a riot! Lol 😍😍
