Ashy Blonde Balayage Hair Transformation - How to Foilayage (Easy Tutorial!)

[@kaiaroxby2559]

you are by far the best hairstylist i have found to learn from. i am an aspiring hair stylist and you are super nice and not cocky about your work like other stylists. you also explain everything thoroughly and explain your reasoning for why you do things the way you do.

[@JamieDana]

Aw thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@terriroot9196]

Wow! Love your careful , precise technique and especially no root shadow! The result is beautiful.

[@Noah_burbridge]

Leah Day hi thanks for the video it is great, we’re u blending the root colour with the lightener in all the foils at the back? if so what was the root colour used again? and how do u stop it going a reddish colour when mixed with lightener? if that makes sence?

[@JamieDana]

Leah Day Awe thank you so much for sharing that with me! I'm so glad you loved it!

[@JamieDana]

Emma Burbridge I didn't put a root color on her, I used conditioner to blend the root. If you watch the full video with sound, I explain that. But I'll be sharing another video with a root color, so stay tuned

[@lkll5291]

Honestly, the most beautiful balayage I have ever seen.

[@courtneyjackson7471]

this is awesome. my hair colour is exactly like hers and I always get so disappointed because any stylist I go to says that it is not possible to get the brass out because of my natural colour but here you have clearly proven that it is possible! I wish there were more stylists like you here in Toronto!!

[@dsmith8570]

Who wouldnt love them lol

[@maydecorationsx2580]

blending the lightener into conditioner weakens the lightener and while it can help blend it also creates warmth because that area doesn't lift as well and gets stuck in the gold stage

[@aracelilozano8553]

True!!!!

[@dsmith8570]

You can counter it though with your toner in those areas but that happens a lot with teasy lights or balayage anyway from feathering lightened up.

[@gsalazar771490]

Men's short/medium full head highlights would be an amazing video to watch! Especially for a guy like me who goes every 5-6 weeks to get my hair retouched 💛✨😅

[@mannastyles]

Jamie, you have blessed us with an AWESOME tutorial. I'm just getting into Shades EQ (well, properly toning in general) and this video has helped me understand not how to use the technique, but how to properly formulate (I have been having issues! lol). Thank you so much for posting this and I can't wait to see more videos like these as well as more styling videos!

looks sooo good! i see a lot of the time where the lightener was blended towards the root its usually very brassy but you killed it. good tip to tone the mid shaft first.

I always add a drop of 1b into the toner if they are warmer :) 9p is my favorite shades toner :)

Shades EQ should always be left on for at least 20 minutes to last through out washes, but yes keep an eye on it. Great technique and beautiful work!

I struggled with balayage until I found your videos! I LOVE this technique and I actually did one of my best balayages using it. Do you comb out the tease before or after you rinse the color? I haven’t found a gentle way to comb it out 🙁

This video was Soooo helpful. I’m confused on the conditioner. How does it help it blend and if the bleach touches the conditioner what happens?

[@JamieDana]

So glad you found it helpful. The conditioner helps it blend by creating softer lines of demarcation. Try it out on a dollhead and you'll be able to see what I mean :)

Love this technique, I’ve used conditioner to blend my balayage ever since I’ve started watching your videos and I love it! Quick question, I’ve always been told that Shades EQ toners have to process for the full 20 minutes, do you ever process them that long or do you usually just watch for the tones to change?

[@JamieDana]

I usually watch the tones as they process. Thanks for watching!

[@dagger9555]

I’ve always had a learning curve with understanding where to place balayage pieces and where to add depth and how to foilayage without making it leave harsh lines. So you making these videos helps me understand a lot and I want to try how you do it on my clients!

[@JamieDana]

I love hearing this! I'm so happy to hear that this has been helpful.

[@dagger9555]

Lea Just because I don’t know this one technique doesn’t make me a bad hair stylist. It sounds scary to clients but every hair stylist continues their education and not every hair stylist knows everything. And if they act like they know everything and know every technique they’re ignorant. Being a hair stylist is hard work and it’s a growing industry. You’re supposed to want to learn and gain knowledge from all the hair stylists around you. Who else do you think she posted this video for? It would be pointless if it wasn’t directed to hair stylists wanting to learn. I know a lot and I’m confident in my work but I’m always willing to learn to broaden my field of knowledge to create the best experience I can for my clients!

[@normaalcantara5054]

Hi Jamie, Great job, it's gorgeous. My question is on the pattern you do on the back. So you do 2 diagonal back on each side and then 2 in the middle and repeat it trough out the back? Another question. Would you use the conditioner as a buffer on a regular HL so you don't get tiger stripes ? Or do you think it would leave to much of a root? Thank you!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! So for the pattern in the back, I do two diagonal back sections then a straight across and continue that to the top where I usually do three straight across at the very top. I personally wouldn't use it for a regular highlight, if your highlights feel like tiger stripes, it's probably because you're taking too thick of a section for the highlights. Try taking in less hair and see if that helps!

[@handisobut]

[@ericafarmer4672]

Hey girl. Your a great stylist. But I'm wondering if you used conditioner on every foil and then put the darker 7a, and bleach on the ends? And on the front do you just do bleach? Or are you pulling through any 7a. I'm having a hard time seeing what's bleach and whats conditioner?

[@JamieDana]

I did the conditioner on the foils that had the highights! I did pull through some 7a. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelsefilino]

@@JamieDana Hi Jamie. What Toner did you use?

[@greenarrowsales-talesofafb3543]

Thanks so much for your great tutorials! I have a question on processing time. I notice you take your time and don't rinse out pieces as they process. What was the total processing time for this technique? I am doing a color correct today on a client who went from a level 3 to a 9(balayage/ombre), 3 weeks ago and she is brassy and warm. Her hair is medium to thin in thickness and coarseness and I plan on 20 vol/blondor/olaplex but am worried about over-processing her. Any tips?

[@JamieDana]

Hey! Typically if the foils are finished processing, I will rinse them out before the rest is finished! Because of olaplex and the sections that I take, everything tends to process at a speed that is easy on the hair. I'll keep this in mind for a future video!

[@hookznbookz]

Just found your channel and I love it! It’s hard for me to tell what’s happening as you reach the crown of the head. I see you did the few baby lights in the front section about 1”’from the hairline. Then you start on the sides, diagonally back. Do you continue until you meet at the top of the head?

Quick question, I notice Jamie put on the number 2 BEFORE the toner, is this ok, I am thinking back to the old days when you wouldn’t put conditioner on before the toner as it would close the cuticle , I am guessing the number 2 doesn’t close the cuticle. Does anyone know this? Thank you.

Fantastic color without the shadow root step! Does this only work for clients who have a lighter base level? Did you use 20vol when you tipped out the ends in the foils since they were lighter or did you use 30 vol since it was later in the process?

[@TheBriteSide1979]

What about a reverse foilyage? Like my sister has been bleaching her hair for years and id like to talk her into getting something like this but id have to drag that darker color down right? So basically how do u give someone a root shadow when u still wanna keep the blonde pieces out . I'm so confused by this, lol

[@JamieDana]

You would want to drag some of the pieces down but you'll probably want to fill it first!

[@judithjaylene]

so you apply the condition to the top of the new growth to prevent doing a shadow root and then continue one with the 30 which will follow with the 20?

So my hair looks naturally pretty much the way her hair looked in the beginning. It’s dark at the roots and becomes golden. I’ve never done anything with it before but I want to go lighter for the summer, if I was to do this to my hair, would it ever go back fully to my natural color as I do love it I just want a change?
