DIY: $20 At Home Hair Balayage/Ombre Tutorial

[@jairolka7966]

As a hairdresser, I would 1000% recommend this to anyone who can't afford a balayage. Just remember small pieces, and good job 👍🏽

[@ashbrooke]

+Jai Rolka thank you 😘😘

[@jairolka7966]

Ashley Brooke If your hair ever gets too light for your liking again, try a Color Touch toner from Sally's by Wella. Any blue violet color in a level 8-10 (10.12 is most popular shade) will neutralize brass for longer than the conditioner did and shade it down slightly for you. Demi-permanent will hydrate the hair more after lightening so look for that. Only an extra 8 dollars 👍🏽

Jai Rolka and wearing gloves

[@Vivdaglam]

Jai Rolka hi I'm a hairdresser too but I haven't worked in salon yet because of my small daughter , how would u say u learned most of the chemical techniques ? Classes? On ur own ? Or salon experience

[@jaxw1453]

Sign up for any class you can get to. Keep watching videos. Dig out your mannequins from school and experiment with techniques you're interested in perfecting. Personally, I felt like I didn't learn enough about modern color technique in beauty school. I was too busy with my student clientele, which was mainly mature women who wanted root retouches/perms/wash&sets etc. Lots of all-over coloring, color corrections, and tons of high-lights, though. Still, I feel like you- color is my passion and I want to learn more. I want to learn the cutting-edge techniques. I only did 2 balayages in school- can you imagine?!?! Find a salon that values continuing education. I'm about to start at a very prestigious salon in my area (they go work Fashion Week every year!). They won't pay me much at first, but I know the value of what I'll learn from experienced people.

[@Ashley-hv2lt]

After watching this, I went out and bought the same dye and tried this... I've never done this to myself, but after washing and drying my hair I have to say I'd recommend doing this even if you're skeptical! I followed the video exactly, and honestly, I would say it looks just as good as going to a salon!

[@ashbrooke]

I'm so glad it turned out great! I would love to see a photo 😉

[@Noah4evaa]

Ashley what color did she use?

[@karlagallegos4960]

Ashley Brooke l

[@rociolandaverde7402]

Ashley what color u use

[@breelian]

Will it work on unbleached hair?

[@antaravaishnavi]

Dear Ashley, thank you so much, I'm a jobless girl, studying and I wanted to try something to make a little difference in my frustrating and depressive life! You really helped me, that too, all for free! I'm sending my true love and blessings directly from India! 😘💕❤️

[@charlottesouza9619]

I'm a hairstylist & never recommend doing hair at home , but if you are going to this video is a great way to do it !👍🏽

[@JamieBarrington]

THANK YOU!! I'm trying to save money at the moment, so I've been scouring KZbin & the internet for weeks, in search for the perfect DIY balayage tutorial. After watching this, I need not look any further! This is the best one I have found...even better than Jessie James Decker's. I love that your directions are simple & fairly brief, yet still highly descriptive. You make it very easy to follow! And your hair looks gorgeous! Thanks again for sharing your tutorial! 👍

[@KaitlynAshlee]

I was actually planning on highlighting my hair today and wanted to see how others do it. I was just gonna use a cap, then came across this balayage and your video. I LOVE this. You explained it so great and I love that you showed us how to actually do it. It looks so good. I never heard of this before. And I plan on doing this instead!! Thank you!

[@elsbells2211]

THIS VID!! I did my first DIY balayage using this video over a year ago. Since then, I have gotten more adventurous with my DIY hair colouring and currently am enjoying my DIY pink balayage. Thanks for this!

[@katherineh.6852]

As a control freak about my hair, the idea of placing my own baylayage sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing this!

[@JC-ql3ld]

loved this video! I've been highlighting my hair at home for over 20 yrs and finally see something i haven't used -- the hair dryer!! this is brilliant and a great way to speed the process up a bit. sometimes i sit for an hour in agony waiting. very cool video with awesome results.

[@ashbrooke]

Yes, I always add heat! Make sure to cover your hair before you put heat on it though. Someone told me it will dry out if you don't. I plan on using a shower cap :)

[@Canyoudigityesyoucan]

love it - balayage is a nice natural looking way of applying the colour so even if its not perfect it still looks more natural than flat out colouring. Brilliant & thanks

[@mom2two07]

You did a great job, one thing that might help you next time: That is bleach, and if it dries out completely, it will deactivate it or at least slow it down. If you lay down some saran wrap (I know, sounds weird), between each section you drop down, it'll help keep it wet when you apply heat. I'm a licensed cosmetologist, so I'm supposed to tell you not to do this at all by yourself, but you didn't do anything wrong and you have a good eye for placement and sectioning.

[@nikkiwykle4394]

Stacy Wacker exactly

[@Maryroselan]

I've honestly never seen such a beautiful human being in my entire life.

[@nikkiwykle4394]

Anne R. Tremblay what? Then u haven't seen much

[@allyssalevine3986]

You, my dumbass friend, are depressed. Jk idk . But you probably are either incredibly self conscious, so you try to make yourself feel beautiful by doing that, or you have self confidence.

[@LanaLeon]

Wtf? 🤣🤣🤣

[@thetopshelf_beauty]

I love your hair, I just finished watching your styling video too!! It is so effortless and flowy. Thank you for this video I can't wait to try this technique out, especially since I can't spend a fortune at the salon! Thanks again, please keep your updated hair routines coming!

[@angelitagill691]

Thank God I came across your video! I just did this last night and it turned out fab-o. I bought the same box (same issue with my brown hair taking forever to lift!) and did tiny pieces at a time. Using the gloves was annoying, so I used my fingers too, although I rinsed off my hands every 10 minutes or so to avoid bleaching my fingertips. Saved $$$. Less than $10 spent!

[@ashbrooke]

+Ashley Brooke I would love to see pictures! Tag me on Instagram :) and yes, the gloves are super annoying 🙄

[@cassmcleod2981]

Hi Sweetie... wear gloves next time.

[@Charginasaur]

You need to use latex or nitrile gloves like they use in hospitals or salons (I get mine in the cleaning section of Walgreens or acme). The big plastic deli gloves that come in dye kits suck.

[@tanahighfield9992]

well I suppose when you put yourself out there, you cannot escape criticism! Anyway, I appreciate that you did because this is very helpful. I've dyed my own hair with a box when I was younger and then started going to the salon but I'm tired of spending the money! So THANK YOU I think I am going to use this technique!!

[@SH-ek7yl]

I tried this on my hair and it looks like I went to a pro. This technique works so well!

[@SamanthaHepner]

Found your channel from this video and I've been binge watching since! I used this technique on my hair two days ago and have gotten so many compliments since! Than you :)

[@KristinaSandnes]

I did this two days ago and it turned out so good! Thank you for making this video! I'm gonna do it again soon to lighten it up more and I can't wait. :) it was more fun than highlighting, and it looks more natural as well. xx

[@littlesongbird18]

what product did you use?

[@KristinaSandnes]

I used Schwarzkopf Poly Blonde M2 Medium. It looks very natural and blends in very nicely!

[@xMellyKellyx]

Kristina Sandnes hii what was your natural hair Colour?

[@KristinaSandnes]

My natural hair color is dark blonde. :)

[@gissellefelix2310]

wow! you made that look super easy and it came out GREAT!

[@ashbrooke]

+gisselle felix Thank you!

[@ellietaylor1672]

I'd love to see how you curl your hair!

[@annikablock6177]

I love how that's an old t shirt for her she should see mine 😂

[@jaejae1533]

Literally thought the same... I was like uhhh where can i get that shirt??

[@jessicaapassier7297]

Holy crap that turned out super beautiful

[@jaywhyte6958]

Ooooh, I was cringing and thinking: "Wash your hands! Wash your hands!" ;)

[@susanpohlers2638]

I was thinking "why aren't you wearing gloves?"

[@rhondarose8180]

and gloves and foil

[@phoenix-rosewilder745]

I was confused how she wasn't burnt , bleach is my nemesis in the salon!

[@Johuma27]

God!! I've been watching and watching videos and finally found one that really explains things well and give out useful tips. Def trying it this weekend. Thanks

[@ashbrooke]

Yay! Let me know goes 😉

[@lamaa7915]

I just want to tell you that you inspire me so much I love you 💗😭

[@carriannephotography5235]

fantastic video!! We used the exact same technique and same product after watching this video...and the results were perfect...thanks!!!

[@tiffanytrrs]

really pretty. Im gonna try this next week.

[@adrianavonjo7808]

this helped me so much, being a person who is afraid of salons (they've messaged my haircut before) I can't wait to try this. thank you. new subbie ❤

[@ashbrooke]

+Adriana Vonjo Yay! Thanks Adriana. Let me know how it turns out :)

[@berniserodriguez6287]

This turned out beautifully! Omg! ❤️

[@chelseasmallwood7789]

I am loving following you and your videos. I've binged watched you over the last few days :) Loving all the videos!

[@victoriarenteria7370]

Thanks! Had excellent results. Natural and cool.

[@tamaravalerine6548]

Great video. I've been doing this myself for a while and it's really cool to see someone finally make a good video to share with everyone. Nice job!

[@emilye709]

Looks great! Very natural!

[@Vivdaglam]

U r so pretty number one , I love ur eyebrows too !! And ur hair looks so professional thank u for this video much appreciated

[@musicrocksinaustin]

This is how ALL beginner DIY Balyage / Ombre / highlights should start ! Slow and steady over time will teach you a lot as more is done to hair.

[@lpg8518]

Wow! Love the view, can't imagine waking up to that everyday. Jesse James Decker has the same video, I think she calls it honey dippin. Very good technique, I think I'll try it for lowlights. Good for you, great job!

[@KACIELIZ1]

I'm a hairdresser and I LOVE these videos because so many girls royally screw up their hair trying to lighten themselves and I make major moolah fixing them! Lol Your hair really does looks great though! 💗

[@ashbrooke]

Haha! My hair stylist gets so mad at me when I do my hair myself. That's why I always tell people not to do it themselves when making a huge change! Luckily, I've found a system that works for me. I'm sure you're great at what you do! xx

[@aka_ocha]

Turned out nice!!!! Now I learned a different way to do my hair. Think I will give it a cut first before I put in the lighter color

[@ashbrooke]

+Rosalia Perez Great idea. I usually trim mine before coloring also :) Let me know how it turns out if you decide to try it!

[@sword2neck4u]

wow! No but seriously!.... WWOOOW! You my dear are amazing. This worked perfectly! So so so excited I found this! 👍❤👏

[@jennifergarvey6806]

great technique iv just done mine and its perfect!! thanx for posting the vid xx

[@ElenaKomleva]

OMG And they ask for $200 to do this at the salon! 😮

[@Talia_nat]

Omg seriously..perfect! I did this couple years ago.. And I've been trying to decide to go back (because, well... I don't feel like myself anymore ha) first vid I watched... And now my mind is set! Thanks for sharing:)))

[@ashbrooke]

Ahh yes!! Share pics! I know what you mean by not feeling like yourself. Funny how hair color can do that!

[@awinoo4111]

the best tutorial on KZbin !

[@zoechambers4448]

I think this is really pretty. Well done and thanks for the advice.

[@ashbrooke]

+Zoe Chambers Thank you:)

[@SJL07]

Just what I was looking for. Great tutorial, Ashley! Thank you!

[@ashbrooke]

+Sharon Lambert Thank you! I'm glad you found it!

[@madelyngrullon6264]

omg I want to try this but I am afraid of ending up messing my hair....

[@ashbrooke]

+Madelyn Grullon I was so scared before I did mine for the first time 😬

[@madelyngrullon6264]

+Ashley Brooke you are so brave. I hightlighted my hair once and it was pretty well considering it was a DIY but this... is different. I want a natural balayage look. I have dark hair.

[@bell-ns3qo]

Me atm. Sigh

[@michellemitchh516]

Nyledam Oml same

[@heyheyyouxp]

I felt the same way, but I think I'm just going to go for it. Will be trying this out today!

[@rheaz8320]

Hi. wonderful video. but can you suggest what color and brand to use . my hair is really dark? so I just a simple effect highlights, no too light? what brand did you use? thanks so much

[@ashbrooke]

I believe Clairol (and most brands) make ombré kits and hair color for super dark hair! I used Clairol (for dark hair)

[@eyeinashburn]

it looks amazing and natural. i was contemplating whether to get it done at a salon, its crazy expensive like at least $200+ with treatment from where i live. Also, i have trust issues with someone doing my hair. i was thinking of DIY with 2 tone balayage to create more natural and depth. maybe lightest blonde and darker blonde.

[@ashbrooke]

I feel you...It's so expensive. Give the DIY a try!

[@victorianicolson1852]

Just did this today and it turned out awesome!!! Thank you for posting this!!!!

[@ashbrooke]

Amazing! I want to see pics!

[@Riley-bs7hv]

Did you use do it as a touch up? I know that’s what she did and I’m wondering if I did it on my natural hair if it would look similar (I have dirty blonde hair)

[@arandompakistani123]

you made it look so easy, I've done my balayage twice but always nervous and ask someone else to help me out with things and do the back of my hair. But i am gonna try your way now i feel all motivated loved it!💜

[@ashbrooke]

I usually set up a 3 way mirror in my bathroom and it makes doing the back pretty easy :) Let me know how it goes!!

[@ambergalbiati4160]

Wow , good job! Your hair looks absolutely flawless I would love to try this. I have shorter hair but think the effect is just stunning!

[@ashbrooke]

Thanks Amber!

[@MAKEUPFACES]

Thank you I did this and it came out beautiful.

[@nikkicores]

Great tutorial! Thanks for making it so simple to understand! Quick question...what color are you using?

[@ashbrooke]

Clairol Frost N Tip for "dark brown to light brown hair" :)

[@joankissez8710]

It came out so so beautiful... ❤

[@addi853]

this seems like a good technique, i'll try it tomorrow!! also, love your music choice :)

[@ashbrooke]

+addipayne let me know how it went!

[@sophielee3983]

[@pikichu01]

this was very nice! can u suggest me any colour for my black hair?

[@malaikaharris3520]

What colour box would you recommend for dark hair wanting to go alittle bit lighter but not blonde ? X

[@haylee4009]

Malaika Harris L'Oréal hicolor x

[@peytoncox5441]

haylee gibbs what color would you recommend for a dirty/normal blonde?

[@wawisam8069]

So pretty! I just discovered your videos and I love them so far. How to style are my fav I think.Thanks a lot

[@crystalwhite6015]

you did a beautiful job. I am going to do this to my hair soon.

[@ashbrooke]

Thank you! I would love to see pics :)

[@Jhen728]

Beautiful! 😍 Going to try this on myself 💁🏻🙂

[@ashbrooke]

Let me know how it goes!

[@lilyjane3675]

For best results put foil around each strand.

[@OhJustBiteMe12]

What does the foil do to improve the results? Just wondering

[@lilyjane3675]

It retains heat so it gives you the best color and it also allows it to process faster

[@georgiamyers8512]

+Lily Jane heat comes from your scalp though. You would need to use a hairdryer or something.

[@phylicalang3639]

All foil really does is keep your highlights looking neater. So product doesn't get on other parts of your hair

[@georgiamyers8512]

GlamGoddess it's to retain heat

[@Carlos-it5hp]

Amazing job! U look great. Very helpful

[@viewtvxq5]

This is the first video that introduced me to your channel! And now I'm hooked and binge on watching all of your videos 😂❤️❤️

[@ashbrooke]

+Juliya Caires Hi Juliya! Thank you :) I always say I want long layers with shorter bangs so when I part my hair to the side I have a lob :)

[@aislingdunne4357]

If it is your first time would you recommend doing more strands of hair because you already had your hair bleached a bit? How much of my hair do i cover? X

[@SE25able]

Look's so good. Wish I could achieve the same result xx

[@xomelissalucy]

How do you style your hair to get it like this??

[@Bambisgf77]

Finger painting! Never considered this yet it turned out well on her hair. Better for touch ups rather than full balayage:) Thanks for this alternative method!

[@TheNduarte215]

I love your video!! I am going to try it with natural products..Wish me luck!!

[@delightful23]

awesome.. gorgeous! now you should do a hair styling tutorial! such pretty waves! 👍👍👍

[@xdcx1000]

Hey guys! Wanted to do an update and tell y'all this is awesome! Yesterday I box dyed my hair a regular warm brown, my hair is naturally more of an dark ash brown and I like the warmer tones. I know I should've waited so as to not damage my hair but I'm SO impatient and I had to do it! Lol so I did this today and followed what she said, and I love it! They are super subtle and probably because I had just dyed it but now I have caramelish highlights! I'm glad I did it this way because now the next time I redo this maybe in 2 weeks the highlights will be lighter and shades of the highlights will vary. Thanks girl!!!

[@5saints]

Looks super cute!!!

[@SoniaVerardoBeautyBlog]

wow it turned out looking amazing! xx

[@viviannnna]
