Blonde Highlight Root Retouch

[@BrittneeAlexus]

thank you all for being here!!!! see you sunday! ❤️❤️🛸🛸

[@worldadventuretravel]

Best personality in the hair vlogger space, hands down! Also the best teaching style.

[@sheryljohnston7314]

I finally highlighted my own hair after watching your videos and it worked so well! The cream lightener feels less damaging than my salon highlights and the Sally’s version of shades eq worked extremely well! I did a root melt and am questioning why I didn’t try this sooner. I love my stylist but we just can’t afford to pay what she totally deserves for her services. I’m hoping I can keep up on the maintenance and go back to the salon when finances are better. Thank you so much for your amazing, detailed instructions that make sense to non-stylists! You and Ellebangs are my favorite hair content creators ❤

[@sarahjoy3375]

This video was well worth the “spray it out” tip alone. Especially as a newbie - I’m always stressing about the processing time. 😅 Thank you beautiful! ❤

[@koahlition13]

Step by step!!!! And y'all this really is one of the easiest tutorials. Just keep practicing. It's bleach and hair... it'll give you regrowth in 4 weeks (some of y'all in 2) and then you get to do it all over again!!!! 😁😍 Thanks for sharing with us! The ads make me happier with each video. That means you're doing this KZbin thing right 🎉🎉🎉

[@BrittneeAlexus]

THANK YOU! i should do mine every 2 weeks but *laziness* and thank you for noticing my ad game step up!!! ❤️i appreciate you!!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful highlights!! You’re funny, gorgeous and talented - thank you for these patient, calming and realistic(cereal bowl, yes!) instructional videos❤️🤩❤️

[@nygemma]

you're so awesome!!!! i went to level 9 -10 by myself----worst part of this blonde life is the roots

[@othername6345]

Your diy hair cutting/layer tutorial was amazing! I needed this one too - gonna do it asap!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

you will do great! let me know how it goes !

[@sandral5086]

Something I will actually try, funny I never thought of just touching up the front/top area only, makes it much more manageable when we are beginners and have lots of hair like myself 👍

[@blackhairblueyes1]

Thanks Brittnee for being real and fully explaining in all your videos. First time I did my hair, I kept toner with 20v develop on my roots too long which caused red roots lmao! Second time, I got a great overall blonde highlights but I didn’t bring the bleach all the way down so some of my top is lighter than the bottom but you’re right; each time it gets easier and you get a bit better. However, I feel like I understand toners but they sometimes don’t react the way I thought they would. But again, trial and error.

[@BeautyByAsumbal]

love this!!u made it look so easy 😍 i love how u comfort us because it is indeed a scary thing to bleach our own hair.thank youuu❤️❤️

[@itplop]

Best hair tutorial to exist ever everEVERRRR

[@challon420]

I have been needing this step by step on how to touch up roots. I’ve always used a cap so foils make me nervous but u explained things so well and make it look so easy. Thank u so much for doing this!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

YAY! You will do great, it may take a little more time to do than the cap but you will love it!! You'll have more control over what is being colored. let me know how it goes!

[@Ttacettin]

Hi!! WOW thank you so much for doing this!! THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING S L O W L YYYY! REALLY!! You do it the best. I wish you showed the next part..one with toner..Im confused on whether you dye the whole hair or only the bleached parts. Im sure you explained it before...learning takes forever and for some even longer. I hope you ll show us when you do the back of your hair. You look lovely and your bangs..love the color very pretty. Thanks again.

[@Ttacettin]

The toners as you know wash off so is it ok to dye hair weekly? I just hate the bleach color all yucky yellow or orangy a bit.

[@BrittneeAlexus]

❤️❤️You can do the whole hair with the toner. It goes on towel dried hair for up to 15 minutes. You mix the toner with 10 volume developer (this will make it deposit only and not change any other parts of your hair) You can do the toners weekly if you want- I just do mine in the shower and pretend to shave my legs while it processes. I will make a video on toners for you soon!! and the back❤️💕 Send ma my love!

Great video! And I love your hair with the middle part and the curtain bangs! Gorgeous! ❤

[@BrookieMonster1313]

Thanks for talking about *exactly* how to NOT get the bleach to leak. I've been using the schwarzkopf bleach and it REALLY swells! I'll be taking the techniques you used here with me to my bathroom tomorrow when I touch up my roots. :) I think I've been going to close to the foil line.

[@BrittneeAlexus]

❤️❤️ Let me know how it goes!! yes too close to the foil line with make the stripe. Even if you go down a bit it is not too bad- the bleach swells when its processing and moves up

[@BrookieMonster1313]

@@BrittneeAlexus I've decided to wait until next week because we're going on vaca to east coast - pool water, salt water, beach, wind - just worried about wrecking it. I'll let you know though for sure! :)

[@BrookieMonster1313]

@@BrittneeAlexus Oh. My. Lanta! It made a HUGE difference! Not a single "opps" this time with the exception of I should have given my left side about 5 more minutes to process - still need to tone but Woohoo!! I looks sooo much more natural.

[@lwebster37]

@Brittnee What would you do IF let’s say, you had 50% grey roots. Would you color your roots with permanent color and then pull highlights ( the day after) oooor just pull thru the virgin roots to highlight? I’m not sure what I should do. Help! Thank you 😊

[@terinma1636]

I’m in same boat. So tired of grays but just had breast cancer. Not working anymore. Can’t afford my salons. Would love to slowly grow the gray in with my dark brown and continue small highlights. That may be cheapest and easiest both physically, mentally and financially.

[@cheyannemorris-davidson5245]

Can’t wait to try my new highlight papers! Out of curiosity, have you ever tried highlighting with a highlight cap? Thank you!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

This is one of my biggest request right now to do!! I have it written down, I will make a video soon!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

thank you- i think it is the brand- not all paper is equal lol

[@wonderland2023]

💐

[@aprilm9551]

Thank you for this. Can you please explain why you're doing the foiling in this method rather than doing a mohawk. Doesn't this foil placement you've done create highlights that are chunkier looking? Even a mohawk pattern slightly off center due to the sectioning centering the part would work, right?

[@Honeybee-Hedgehog-Designs]

l used to do hair and i really want to know what to do with my white hair 👩‍🦳 ive stopped coloring it for 3 years now. it’s basically white at least the whole regrowth is. some residual light blonde in the ends ; i’ve colored 100s of other people’s hair but don’t know much about white and grey hair . ideas would be great ! maybe Silver highlights I don’t know 🤷

[@juliedc1040]

Brittnee, do you mix the bleach and the toner?

[@jackelineportillo6574]

Your hair looks great! If I tried the slicing technique you posted before, can I touch up the roots using this weaving technique? Thanks!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

Yes! Just weave them medium size- similar to the size I used

[@christinahufford9871]

Hi!! I tried to highlight my hair myself with Wella lightner. My ends (2 ft from the top of my head!) got white like I wanted but the top is patchy/and yellow orange. I don't know if I should redo it by using the root touch up method or tone it first with the T18?

[@aprilm9551]

T18 would not correct the orange, because the hair is not light enough. T18 only works on very light blond. You would need to apply more bleach on the orange areas to bring them up to a lighter blond. Your result probably means you didn't apply a thick enough amount of the lightener to the top areas that turned orange.

[@karincontreras5092]

I love you videos 💕 ♥

[@Moneybags8989]

What if you dont want any existing natural hair colour what so ever? I want to do my usual very light pearl blonde but also a lightest golden blonde for contrast can you still do this same method but just colour both the top and bottom of the separated hair in each colour?

[@elsazekaj5778]

Hi brittne! I want to try to do my own root highligt touch up soon for the first time so im looking at ur videos, im a little unsure about the sectioning of the hair does it matter much or? I am thinking of using a 30 volume developer with the schwarzkops bleach powder my roots are very dark.. im not sure what toner to use.. i would be so thankful if you replied to me❤️

[@heloisaalmeida1243]

Brittnee, do you only apply the bleach (at the beginning) or do you mix the bleach and the toner?

[@wendy8561]

I hope my message made sense it's almost like my hair has no tone but hard to explain but it needs to be brighter that's why I said maybe I need to add gold have a few shades eq colors or toners not sure which one to use

[@BrittneeAlexus]

send me a picture to my email (it’s in the description box - it won’t let me type it on here- against the terms) and send me your inspiration picture- when i get home tonight i will send you a few recommendations ❤️

[@tansarenowsafe]

Hi. I have a dumb question. When you do your roots like this and need to add the toner, are you only putting it on only your roots that were just lightened or are you running the toner through all of your hair?

[@KitCallander]

Do you have a video on scalp bleach?

[@lydiaglassman6065]

Love it!!! ♡♡♡

[@NeelSea]

Can you explain how this is different than your slicing video w the mohawk section? Ive been using that to do my highlights consistently. I do wait 3 months between. Thanks!

[@kateeadie4397]

Doing this tomorrow, after olaplex today!

[@og6920]

This was great, thank you! And the bangs are adorable!!!!

[@michelek1828]

Thank you!

[@laurasanderson1372]

This looks like fun ! My roots grow in silver & brown & my hairs dyed dark , almost black . Should I try it ? What volume developer would I use ?

[@BrittneeAlexus]

The roots will process much quicker than the bottom parts, so for that It would be best to do the bottom part, complete the whole part line, then go back and do the roots (it is a pain to do it this way) however if you just put the lightener on the whole hair strand, it will be discolored. You can do it that way but you would need to tone it afterwards. The developer volume is up to you- 20 is a go to if you are unsure- you can always wipe them out like I did towards the end of the video if you notice it is processing faster than you would like.

[@jenreeder616]

Hiiii, I am curious what your opinion is about using Manic Panic mixed with conditioner as a toner ie:shocking blue Manic Panic ?

[@jenreeder616]

Ok bye

[@majesticsammie1234]

I have thin hair too, I love trying to keep up with my blondes, But sadly during my postpartum hair loss at the moment I’m unsure to keep up with the bleaching process. If I continue during my postpartum hair loss, will I lose more hair- especially since I have thin hair ? Thank you in advance. 😊

[@s.a.1615]

Can I do this with two months grow out? I'd say like an inch and a half, looks only a little more than yours here but idk...

[@oksanarachel]

Awesome tutorial!!!! Do we need color too? I see you mixed lightner with the developer.

[@wendy8561]

Hey Brittnee love your highlights I really need your help my hair really won't accept toner maybe I've been using the wrong colors I think I need to add some more gold in crazy as it may seem I just wanted brightened up I probably need to send you some pictures got about an 2 inches cut off so it is definitely shoulder-length with root tap smudge I think I need to add some gold into it actually I have some shades eq colors demi or toners but not gold I do like an ashy but not too ashy blonde not sure what to do cannot get a hold of any more shades EQ at the moment going on the beach trip girl got to get this going by next week love you girl hope you can help

[@nataliefoss5629]

Its candy cane strip. I'm going to return the products I bought today. I haven't done my own hair in decades. I go every 6 week . I went to hair school at 17 but Im to picky. Im a level 9 but my long hair is healthy. I dont think ill be ok with at home results . I wish I could be. I was trying to save money. Because we only put bleach on my new growth sometimes I only need 10 v and we tone the rest. Idk why I spent $60 on crap. If I get brave ill update you. But I care too much. Very few end up with great results. Its to hard at home.

[@jenniferswanson8015]

What shampoo and conditioner do you use?

[@BrittneeAlexus]

right now I am using XMONDO purple shampoo and no conditioner (only because I'm out) I've just been spraying it with Wet Brush Detangle Spray. I normally use whatever is on sale at the supply store but prefer Pravana

[@destinyoakley6448]

I so needed this video! My hair color is the same as in my profile pic here, if I wanted to add in some lowlights, what color would I need...do you think I need a neutral brown, reddish brown, ash brown?

[@erismana2105]

I'm not a hairdresser you did not ask for my opinion but my two cents is I would do darker blondish first to see if you're like how low lights look

[@BrittneeAlexus]

agree- would do a darker blonde at first (maybe an 8) if you go anything below that something with red in it- it may have a tint of red in the light but will cancel out any green that could pop up. pravana makes a “color boost” of just red pigment that is really nice- you can add a few drops to any color (6N + 2 drops of red booster is really pretty)
