4 years later... did this a while ago and i still get compliments for my hair :) thank you for the tutorial

[@user-ux7yg2ch6i]

I used to do this to my hair! I sectioned it differently though. Advice I would offer to anyone about to give this a go is rather than backcombing, just tease the base of each section a little before applying bleach - it can look blobby otherwise. Also, don't rub the bleach into the sections, the finished result will look more natural and textural with a bit of colour variation. Also, I found that the front of my hair lightened much quicker than the back, so I used to start at the back first. One last suggestion - applying a bit of conditioning mask to the roots / scalp with a make-up brush when you have sectioned your hair will offer some protection from stray blobs of bleach. Finally, if you mess it up and it turns out brassy and yellow, just relax in sun while you wait for the postie to arrive with your purple shampoo. Exposure to sunlight will alter the colour.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you for this comment in a real life are you scenario on yourself it’s very useful thank you

[@doggy1740]

Thank you for these tips !! It was so helpful. I teased the base and it definitely helped with no harsh lines. I was unsure about the not rubbing it because I thought the bleach should go everywhere but I followed this tip anyway and I loved how it came out. Some strands stayed a little darker so my hair is more highlighted as opposed to just one flat color.

[@MultiColouredVagina]

Purple shampoo may not work. Use toner

[@user-ux7yg2ch6i]

@@MultiColouredVagina Depends what shade you're aiming for. Also purple shampoo is more temporary and fades more easily than toner if you overdo it. Hair is very porous after bleaching, so this can easily happen. After bleaching sometimes the brassiness stabilizes and the colour changes on it's own a bit, especially when exposed to sunlight. Toner can muddy your colour and make it look dull and dingy or just "off" if done badly. Again, it depends on what colour you're going for. I'm 9.3 and will be staying that way for a while I think.

[@ViolaMaster]

I wonder if the OP had demarcations from not blending when he bleached right where the rubber band sat, thats worrying me tremendously and I don't know if he did that off camera because I don't believe you can get this result without some weird lines from the rubber band!

[@ChristelVinot]

Welp, let me tell you sir. I've watched maybe... 30-50 videos of do-it-yourself ombre techniques. Many of which similar to yours. I've been thinking about bleaching my hair ombre style for some time now, and have been terrified because I've always had really long nice hair. If I screwed it, I'd have a lot to lose. But of all those videos I studied.... I ended up using this video the most. Basically following what you did the whole way. And I can't believe how perfect my ombre turned out! What the hell? The perfect layering.... no blobs, no unevenness, no hard lines! WHAT? Damn, thanks man. Best ombre how-to video on the internet.

[@Miss_Elaine_]

Agree

[@ChristelVinot]

six months later and I'm still loving my ombre dude!

[@LyrasRaven]

I did this on a whim today and I LOVE MY HAIR! ❤️The transition is so smooth and natural! 🤩 My hair was a basic darkish brown and I went to a level 8ish If you follow the videos instructions religiously, it’s going to look exactly like the mannequin. He didn’t sugarcoat the result to get more views for this, he was absolutely truthful about the result! If you’re going to do this, avoid these little mistakes that Ilearned from: 1) section the hair carefully and make it look perfect. Tighten the elastics close to your head.. It’s important! 2) get double the amount of bleach you think you need! You can use the leftovers later. You’re screwed if you run out 3) get proper gloves and wear long sleeves. The bleach stings like crazy if it gets on your skin 4) use STRONG hair elastics. I broke one right at the front and I was left with a patch from tying it again. It would have turned out perfect if that hadn’t happened 5) buy the toner AFTER you’ve bleached the hair. I’m glad I didn’t spend money on toner yet, because I wouldn’t have known how light the end result would have been. I wore a beanie to the shop and got the right color. 6)

May I ask what you did with the hair that has been bleached the first time when you did this the second time? I’m not sure if I should apply a new layer of bleach with a lower volume (I have dark brown hair) or only bleach what has out grown. Can you share that? Thank you!

The outcome is phenomenal. I was afraid of getting harsh lines of color change on my hair but this method made the color transitions look beautiful, no harsh lines. Loved It!!!!!

4 years later I found this video, telling my self “it is a sign to color my hair, ig”. I tried this technique, slightly worried about the outcome. The sectioning of hair took us more than an hour but the coloring part was finished in less than 30 minutes. I did all the things in the video, no teasing of hair and such. It turned out great! I was really not expecting the outcome to be that good because how on earth will it blend that nice??!! but EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. I LOVE MY HAIR!! it turned out great, for real. So, to you, who’s reading this, go girl! Slay that balayage look with this easy technique. P.S. Be careful so that you won’t dye the roots, you surely don’t wanna have a random patch on top :)

[@rabbitruler44]

I’ve used this technique twice now to bleach my hair before dyeing with fashion colours! I wish I discovered it years ago. I don’t think I’ll ever feel confident enough to bleach right to the root so this is perfect. I agree with what others are saying, sectioning the parts it the biggest paint but then it’s easy from there! I will say, I have pitch black hair so this would not look good for someone with the same hair if they just kept the colour since it will be a very harsh transition from black to brass, but it’s a great base for applying fashion colours.

[@christinam935]

I did this! I recommend it! I have black hair and when bleached, it turned to a caramel brown. It looks quite nice! The technique was great through because it creates streaks and highlights and a good fade. Just, I was scared about bleaching so high onto my head so for some sections I didn’t bleach high enough so the fade like wasn’t so consistent on the underparts for me personally, but that was my fault. So I just recommend following his method exactly and it’ll turn out great! Am thinking of using this technique again to bleach again and maybe dye a lighter colourful tone.

This is the best diy ombre tutorial on youtube in my opinion. Your channel is wonderful. I do have a question, however---if we wanted to refresh a grown-out ombre, could we use this method to do it or would it end up patchy (assuming I avoid re-bleaching already bleached areas)? Could we lower the ponytails a few inches to allow more virgin hair at the top or would that look weird? I know this vid is old so I don't expect an answer really, but I figured I'd try! Thanks so much!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Hi Anna! Thank you very much glad you appreciate the video yes you can touch up the regrowth but I would recommend that it’s about a six month regrowth with the specific technique Any sooner than that and you don’t really have the hair to work with you simply just repeat the process that you did in the first place painting the new hair that has grown threw up to the existing pre-lightened hair in exactly the same way that you did it the first time

[@kellye.5678]

I really want to try this when my hair grows out to all virgin hair. I got it done at the salon two years ago and what I really wanted was like an ash brown balayage with more bleach saturation at the ends for extra brightness, but they bleached my whole head and gave me a shadow root with ash brown for the lengths. It looked great, until after a week when the dye completely faded out and I had an entire head of bleached orange hair. I went back and they recolored my whole head a medium brown color, but after a week once again the dye faded out and I was left to color my hair myself with permanent dye. I really want to get my hair done where my natural roots aren't bleached but I feel after that first experience I don't want to pay another $400 at the salon

[@tianamarie989]

Bleached hair does not hold onto deep pigments well. I usually do a step down approach. I go 1-2 shades darker with a color, then another 1-2 shades darker and then final color. That will usually add in all the colors that are missing and then a color sealer. Personally I like just bleached hair, as long as it all lifts well. I can't get any cosmetologist to do this. So here I am, attempting to do it myself.

Thank you for this BALAYAGE version. Ive looking for an DIY easy self applying bleaching method. Also Ithink it cames out handy for keeping roots away in between months for having a professional apication.

I think you’ve done a smashing job 👍🏻 I can’t wait for next week 🙂

Superb thank you R H 🙏🏻

this video was exactly what i needed. thank you so much!

You’re very welcome

What's the difference between balayage and ombre? How are you going to turn an ombre into a balayage? I thought balayage is the technique and ombre is the hair color so to speak. Thanks for sharing I adore using ponytails to color AND cut my own hair.

Thank you buddy very kind of you Hope you’re well?

[@angrydonutface7420]

Amazing, I'll definitely try this! I've been using a teasing technique at home, which gives me a very natural blended ombre look, but I'd like to get the more piecy/textured look this gives. Your unpretentious attitude towards techniques is very refreshing, too.

[@alessandrogiarda3060]

A cool result from such a simple technique 👍

[@manditoon9627]

Excited for next week's glaze what a technique ! I love an easy and simple lightening process you get taught so many things in college how to highlights back to back and at at the end of the day some of my most creative colours come from being more sporadic and not so uniform! You do make me laugh who'd of thought you'd be teaching in your sunny garden in ya marigolds !! Can't be bad! Loved the result I would travel to Brighton to get my hair done after all this I would literally have any colour or cut could do with a change ! As a hairdresser I don't actually do much to my own just trim and roots 👍 another great video thank you James 😊

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes Mandi there is always room for precision colouring and cutting but once you understand why and how you create precision techniques then you can use creativity to speed up the process is and that is exactly what I did with this technique as you mentioned. I would love to do your hair for you Mandi when this is all over 👍🏻

Omg im so excited to try this!!!!!!!!!!

[@andreadixon3080]

I am loving your videos I was looking for an easy way to curl hair after a balayage so clients could do it themselves at home, found if you add two just above the ear height bunches then use straighteners to curl from the back to the front so you can see every bit of hair had been curled then allow to totally cool and drop it gives beautiful curls that fall without being too high. I can do this for them on the right length hair in 11 mins so very time efficient as well

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Superb tips Andrea yes I’ve done a similar technique to that myself in the past 😁👍🏻

[@heatherg2083]

Definitely a fun and looks easy processmwith great results! Looking forward to next session! Love your studio....thanks for your sharing 💚

[@zahraghobeishavi8154]

Hi Thank you for teaching ❤I’ve got some questions. Did you colour at the harsh line for more blending?

[@ZolotoiKluchik7917]

Wow! It turned out beautiful , even before toner. You are so inspiring to go ahead and mess with my hair. Going to try this!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful hope it turns out well

[@elly4018]

Thank you SO much for this video! I'm so trying this technique! I've been looking at so many "at home" videos but most of them are so complicated! But this one seems so easy and the results were BEAUTIFUL! Thank you again, for this amazing tutorial! Stay safe and awesome, and God bless! 🥰

[@desiree568]

How'd it turn out?

[@elly4018]

@@desiree568 Well, since I'm TERRIFIED of bleach (bad experience in the past), I used a dye that lightens dark hair "without bleach" (regular dye doesn't strip hair color so the hair dyes that say they lighten dark hair without bleach, in reality, has bleach just not as much). At first, it really didn't show, but as I washed my hair, the color started showing more and it looks like a warm honey colour and I really like it. I might eventually use bleach in the future but so far, I love how it turned out.

[@deadlymoonlight]

I’m going to use loreal hicolor blonde for dark hair and hope for the best😂

[@ninepugs6111]

I used your artistic technique and I love how my hair turned out!! ❤️ Thanks, you are a lifesaver.

This was really easy and worked really well.

[@Freeazabird]

I HOPE you see this comment or somebody that can help. Thank you so much for this as I’ve been balayage aging my own hair for several years. My question is this. I balayage freehand and I like the ‘balayage powder’ rather than bleach…… PLEASE. Can I do this technique using the balayage powder as well? Thank you

[@lizsharma1607]

So excited to try this!

[@jacimckinney4469]

Very cool & so very pretty!! Can't wait to see what you do with it next Wednesday. 💜 I cut and colored my mom's hair outside in her backyard last week. It felt amazing to practice our craft in the sunshine. I also have been using dish gloves while working with color the last couple of weeks.🤣😂 I'm thinking they work pretty fantastic with lightener too. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️💜

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Glad you enjoyed it Jaci Yeah colouring in the garden is so nice 👍🏻 And marigolds well I think I’m going to wear them when I go back to the salon 👍🏻
