Great technique. Simple, to the point directions. Covered just what was needed to give her a refresh. I would say this is what the average light to medium brown level 5, 6, 7 prefers. Nothing over the top, low maintenance, with an easy, soft grow out. This way will get you more customers in the chair and will have them coming back.

I love it. I always fear them having lines when they pull it back, so I’d be tempted to leave our a little front halo and paint it back ways. This would be perfect for my teenager who prefers subtle and fast.

@LKYme Жыл бұрын
This turned out so well! I was shocked by the outcome! I'm trying to learn how to color my own hair, and foils are very hard. But I thought they were needed to isolate the hair. I have one of the boards, but it's long with no handle and I keep dropping it. Gonna look into one like this!
@saradejong7840 Жыл бұрын
Hi I’m curious can you do this method with a root touch up or would the colors bleed to much. Thanks
@TYapril11 ай бұрын
I wonder the same. I guess with root touch up for lowlights you would need foil to separate the hair.
@emilystubbs5650Ай бұрын
Well heck I'd go faster too if i wasn't foiling. But i don't know of a lightner you can use so little of that it won't effect the hair sections above/below, while still being enough to lighten where you want it?

Hi, Good evening.May i ask a quick question? I've left a few questions and/or comments recently on the feed to various uploads but not had a reply, which i understand totally because your a busy man of course so i know your time is short when replying so thats cool. So just want to confirm, in order to get an answer if at all possible if your not busy, do i need to pay on patreon? The reason i ask, is because i was recently made redundant after 12yrs of service in my job, so i cant really afford (at the moment) to join despite wanting to but as a single mum, my son and bills come first. Which avenue do i need to take in order to ask for your advice which, must i say, i do trust (based on your uploads and initially, what triggered me to subscribe to your channel) as i would love the feedback but don't get it unless from what i see on LIVE stream you need to pa which at present i cant due to reasons explained above. Any time you have to feed this back, I'd greatly appreciate, as I'd love to know how to get answers to my questions due to admiring your advice on tutorials and/ or uploads posted. Kind Regards, Lawton, UK
