Dimensional Balayage - How to Add Lowlights and Highlights using my Foilayage Technique!

[@chloegriffiths2078]

Love this technique thankyou ❤️

[@taracase787]

Firstly, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us commoners, ha ha; but truly, thank you. My family seems to be cursed with major health issues that are chronic, relapsing and metastatic. Knowing how to do my own coloring/highlights is imperative to my bank account balance. I've been in sales, marketing and management my entire working career so having the ability to look my best at a DIY price really combats one's depression while also boosting one's confidence. While re-entering school as a 40 something woman, it is much easier to present oneself to the world when we know we look our best and that knowledge reduces the anxiety some of us feel when doing something new or something we haven't done in years. The dreaded job/career hunt is paramount to caring for our families, so I reiterate how much I appreciate you and others like you for providing us the knowledge to get the processes, colors, patterns and styles correct. What you and others so graciously gift us is the ability to look our best while still being able to afford us the ability to purchase our kid's school supplies, medicines for our aging relatives, and time off work while our spouses and kids are receiving chemo or a kidney. Thank you! My hair is past my waist for the first time in years. My highlights (which always require a toner) had 6-8 inches of root growth. I have highlighted my hair this long myself once, long ago in my twenties - and I have relied on KZbin for techniques. Many (most)poster's videos do not go into the color details. I am going to check out more of your videos but may I ask a question? Are you using an ash brown demi-permanent color as THE toner OR are you adding highlights and a root shadow? Hope you reply! I will look up your other socials, too. Take care!....just watched the full video~ yesterday I watched a youtube video and I believe it autoplayed and I paused it and left it ....came back today and began to finish YOUR video, lol. I just saw your toning and now I gotta go watch the beginning! thanx again : - )

[@nicolebacque5651]

Great video. Nice to see a realistic client service. Not everyone has virgin or non graying hair that wants a Bayalage highlight.

[@JamieDana]

I'm thrilled to hear you loved it. Thanks for watching!

[@donnamccormack88]

I've been doing hair a long time and love how you teach. Thank you I'm learning a lot.

Hey Jamie, I love your technique, I use it for most of my foliage. I just wanted to thank you again for sharing it with the world. 😊

[@teresamagers4712]

Thank you so much for this video. I have learned so much from you. Where I live there are not very many classes to attend, and some coworkers discouraged me to learn new fads and leave it for the new stylist. I am excited to try it

[@JamieDana]

I'm so glad to hear you are putting your education first! Good for you. Thanks so much for watching my videos!

[@kevinonthank]

Hair by Teresa Laree don't ever loose your passion! Good for you for keeping up , learning and growing! For whatever reason those coworkers are Insecure about themselves and are projecting that out on you. Your doing the right thing. 🤗. Don't let them steal your sunshine! Balayage is the way of the future for doing modern hair and is here to stay. Jamie's technique is fun and creative. Love it!

[@dreapollos7394]

This is truly stunning! I wondered if you might clarify a question I had? Did you use Demi on the roots AND as the transition between the Root and lightener? I know some people use permanent at the root, but my experience has been that the growout is much less low-maintenance. Interested to know your opinion 🤍

[@starsunmoon30]

Yes she used a demi on root, then shades eq tonor mix on mids ... hth

[@rosemaryhill3675]

You are a natural teacher. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

[@maribelgray2314]

Absolutely beautiful! Would you do similar application if a client has dark hair with gray and is wanting a balayage look?

[@JamieDana]

Yeah! This technique could totally work, I would just use permanent at the root instead of demi 😊

[@sandrabien7769]

Awesome Thank You👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good morning Jamie! I am a new fan of your work! Your video actually woke me up this morning. Ironic? :) I had a balayage done last year and had move away from my stylist in FLA. stopped in vegas to have it re done and the stylist burnt off all my ends now I have shoulder length terribly colored hair!!! I need a new stylist now! I'm in temecula CA. I'm tempted to try this but I'd rather have you or some one you may know out here . Can you please help me?? Thank you!!

[@Lucypasquale3358]

Looks amazing! Great job! Could i use a semi permanent instead of a demi for the base? Would it blend as good? Thanks so much! ♡

[@JamieDana]

I don't give out color advice on here because so much of that depends on what you see in person. Thanks so much for watching!

[@jesskatelewisjl]

This is so beautiful! When you back comb and put more colour to saturate the backcombing, was you using the root colour, or the middle colour?

[@jadeargenti5549]

Hi!!! I was wanting to know why you overlapped the bottom that’s already lightened? I’m in training for a salon right now and that’s one of the things they’re really big on. Thanks so much, love your video’s(:

[@eboniewellington8865]

Can you do this with permanent colour on the root? I plan to use a permanent. Also rinsing how did you avoid transfer? Would keep bleach in until most root rinsed? I'm excited to try this method to polish up my technique

[@msbaguette]

[@Brookejanemccormack]

Hi there , I’m from Australia and we almost never use 40 volume at all ! Just wondering when you said it was about 32% peroxide moving towards the top of the head you painted over those blonde ends aswell, how do you ensure not to damage the hair? And have a sustainable blonde that’s not going to break over time ?! I know your using olaplex but I know even with it in your colour you still have to be careful .. love love love your videos just wondering on how that works for you ?! 🌸

[@saratomala2703]

I love your videos! Was wondering what your reason was to not tease as much in the front sections compared to the back? Why do you not at the front hairline?

[@JamieDana]

I want the highlights closer to the face in the front hairline. Thanks so much for watching!

[@isabeladoberenz4649]

Hi! Loved this video. What would the effects of using a permanent hair color instead of Demi provide? Is it harder to apply/make mistakes, or something to do with mixing it with bleach. Thanks!

[@melo3393]

I was going to ask the SAME question. I need to do this exact same technique but using permanent color to cover greys

[@debbiemurphy792]

Hi Jamie, thank you so much for your videos. I pretty much watched you every day. I even watched your same videos over and over again and I am learning so much. I wanted to ask you a question… How long does that usually take you to do these appointments. Sometimes it can take me up to five hours to do this kind of an appointment. Is that normal? I feel so bad that the client is sitting there for so long. Is it just me or do other stylist take this long as well? Thanks, Debbie 💜

[@JamieDana]

This appointment would typically take 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours for me. Thanks so much for watching!

[@savihull]

Hey Jamie I have a question! When you’re doing lowlights on a client who has level 9-10 hair and say they want lowlights of a level 6ish how do you do those lowlights without making the hair look muddy or turn green? Do you have to fill it first? And if so how would you do that?

[@luiginabustillos2701]

Sorry to answer instead. What i do if this is useful for you, is to put 7.4 with 5 vol for 15 min and then the desired color on top. It has worked for me.

[@dsmith8570]

You can also add your filler into the color and thats fine too. Works well when youre not doing an all over color.

[@lifeonplanetdede]

D Smith that’s what I do as well

[@rickyjenkins06]

Hi there do you not find that if you put the base on first and then you do the highlights for example say leave the highlights on for 50minutes do you not find the base is left on for too long and therefore can look a bit too dark I mean I think your overall look is amazing just a questions Love ❤️ all your videos xx 😘

[@emilly7777]

Amazing. Please show the colors that u use on the color chart. Because I use different colour brand with different numbers in my salon. Thank you ❤️.

[@JamieDana]

I'll keep that in mind for a future video! Thanks for watching.

[@beautybird2668]

Hi, i love your videos and im learning so much from you,thank you;-))))Could i ask how long it took you this technique from start to finish?hope you dont mind me asking, i just started a new job in a new salon, and most clients seem to be giving out about how long it takes a balayage, and other stylist are just rushing all the time, nearly doing half of the balayaging foils in order to be ''quick''! im a bit lost, im used to do a good job, but again that takes time, any advice would be much appreciate it, im looking forward to your new videos,thank you;-)))

[@nicolabarber7551]

I love your videos and always learn alot from them. I'm never very confident with toning. I'm never sure what strength of peroxide to use when adding ash to highlights and weather you just use a normal ash tint and use as a toner or a semi permanent tint. Would it be as low as 10% or a higher strength to lift out the yellow tones. Many thanks

[@dolorescruz3137]

Beautiful job!! Thank you for sharing your technique. The base color is too dark How do you shampoo the hair to prevent the highlighter color grab it . Thank you so much 🙏

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching! I remix lightener when it starts to dry out.

[@mikamouse73]

Lightener should be remixed every 20-25min. After that it’s not working as it was when mixed.

[@nelly_nelle]

I am doing something like this on a color correction client who currently has a middle part and early 2000s style chunky highlights. Unlike a normal balayage because she has harsh highlights I don't think I should work off her natural part. I thought maybe use this techinique in babylight sections. Thoughts?

[@JamieDana]

I think that would definitely help a lot and be a great start to blending those harsh lines in!

I don't give out color advice. I hate to disappoint! Is there someone in your salon you can bounce ideas off?

Hi! Lovely!!! Biolage shampu, do you use after the bleach or can i use every day? My hair is damaged for bad bleach service and i need good products. Other question, if after i used blondor 20v (natural brunette tone 5) my hair is semi orange and not so bright... do i need repeat blondor 10v?
