Balayage Ombre (Super Fast Easy)

[@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!

[@Miss_Elaine_]

I've done this three times to my hair since 2021. I get compliments and people can't believe I did it myself. Thank you!!

[@jose6850]

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!

[@stephc6918]

Same !! Or when I want to remove black dye!!

[@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!

This technique is EVERYTHING. I had never coloured my hair before and wanted to do a balayage on myself, saw a million videos and all of them made me have secind thoughts, whether i would be able to do it or not but this tutorial made it so simple and the results are amazinggggg. 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!!!!!

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)

[@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.

How was it? Did you fo it yourself?

[@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.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful that is great to read glad it worked out well for you

[@Schultzbritt]

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 :)

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

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

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.

May I ask - when do you undo the ponytails and how? I'm guessing you wash the bleach off first? And do you just cut the bands by scissors? Just thinking of most comfortable way to do it for the client. Thank you!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

So you undo the ponytails once you’ve washed it off as you said and then you can either slide off the ponytail when the conditioner is on the hair or alternatively you can cut bands as you said

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.
