[@curiosity19]

I saw this video about 2 years ago and right away bought Jolen, but I didn’t use it until yesterday. The Jolen product had an expiration date of 2021, so it has been 2 years expired and I still went ahead and used it. Instead of using a butter knife, I used a watercolor brush… the skinniest one, just like the watercolor brush that came with that coloring set that we used during our elementary education. Anyway, I cut the bristles of the brush in half to make it more manageable… and it was much easier to handle. And the result was better than the boxed set. FYI, I have black brown hair and the highlights were honey in color… light but soft. I am so pleased. Thank you so much for your video. Oh, I waited for an hour before I rinsed my hair because my hair is coarse and thick 😊

[@cottiechauncey]

I used a 3 year expired Jolen. Still worked out great!

[@thehollyberrylady7764]

I did a patch test and loved the result so I did my ash blonde roots...but just the top hair...not underneath. Trying to get out of the all-over bleaching jobs at the salon...tired of them. Just wanted to soften my top roots so they don’t look so stark. This stuff works fabulously. Who knew! I absolutely love the result! No orange whatsoever! Just a lovely golden blonde color...very natural looking. Only needed to leave it on for 10 minutes! I’m done with expensive and inconvenient salon appointments for good!!!! Done with walking around with long stark roots in between salon sessions too. Wow! THANK YOU so much Skip2mylou! You’re the best to share this wonderful solution, with us ladies. ♥️

This is an amazing trick! I have dark blonde base and have not been to my stylist due to covid. The outcome was absolutely beautiful. Very subtle not too much but took the harsh line of my roots away. I am so happy with the results and will be doing this on all my roots!

[@leesbegley6231]

I tried this last night with a regular old highlighting kit that comes with a cap. Parted my hair and even did the sides around my face. Used a mirror to do the back. The knife works better than a toothbrush, fork, the brushes that come with the kits, etc. It came out gorgeous. I look like a sun goddess.(okay, an ugly sun goddess) Brilliant idea! Best I've ever seen!

[@a.b.5169]

Good video ! Great place to start for those who wanna give it a go at home (and fall in love with having some control over thier hair and wallet) I always lift/color my hair at home - although I grew up in a salon and then worked in one as a young adult I have had plenty trial and error. I am sure that you're not a fool and you know your hair. However, to my knowledge you should never use anything metal while bleaching/coloring your hair. It can have a bad reaction- and, well - that's no fun. PSA Experiment with paint brushes, small sponge brushes or fun shaped and angled salon style color brushes. Depending on the amount of time I have, supplies, patience, regrowth, and desired result I freehand/balyage or cap highlight or put in a few foils in the face framing and crown area. You can freehand paint bleach but consider the following things below : Bleach expands (think foamy) overtime after you mix it. Watch out for any bleeding or transfer of the bleach onto unwanted areas. Otherwise you could end up looking like a spotted leopard and not a cute one either. Wella has a great clay consistency balyage bleach - but I do not recommend it if you need more than 4 levels of lift. There are a few bleach tubs/packs by l'oreal that lift well and two by Ion, all at Sally's. . FYI. If your bleach dries out - it stops lifting. So depending upon your bleach brand, use 2 units of developer to 1 unit of bleach. You could go a bit over 2. Lift a bit more than you think you need, without surpassing the time recommended by the manufacturer. You can always tone it later. But, keep it as far away as possible from your scalp since your scalp gives off heat and this is what helps cause "hot roots" or abnormal lighter color spot just at the root area closest to the scalp. If this happens, tap your root area with a color a shade lighter or same as your natural or background color. Then tone. Do not do it opposite as you run the list of lifting your hot roots even further. If you are toning, obviously use the opposite color base to counteract orange/yellow. If you want your hair and highlights a bit brighter go with a 10-20 volume developer (but beware on your darker hair as it will lighten it a bit and it can bring out a bit of brass in darker shades since blonde toners (ex. Wella T18) actually do not have the right amount of violet or blue or green tones for darker hair that has pulled Brass. You will then be stuck with super ashy light highlights and brassy base undertones. If you want to try and avoid that situation and are okay with simply zapping the Brass in your highlights use a deposit only developer (wella also makes one, used for semi permanent color charm line) but keep an eye on it depending on the toner. I prefer to tone my root area with a semi permanent level 7-8 with ash or cool undertones then apply a T18 wella blonde toner or a semi permanent 10-11 with ash/cool tones. Hope this ridiculously long comment helps someone !

[@laureningle5740]

OMG thanks for posting this video tip. I did my hair this morning with my regular Garnier Nutrisse Multi-Lights Highlighting Kit because it's very thick no cap needed, and it worked great!!!!! It took me a couple tries to figure out how to get the knife blade coated correctly. After that it was a breeze. And my hair came out looking great. NO MORE chunky streaks. This knife trick IS the bomb!!

[@sweetdreams5072]

I tried this stuff, works well, but instead of just making lines with a little applicator. I glob it across the roots and combed it through. Worked great.

[@Autumnoel]

Thank you so much for your video. Jolen costs so much less than other kits and works at least as well. I used a dollar store toothbrush, the tail end of it to touch up roots, and ten minutes later the brush end of it to pull the cream from the roots to the ends to create brighter highlights. It worked perfect. I never would have thought to try this if I hadn't seen your video.Thanks again.

This fine. Great didn't it we learn something new everyday and I are retired cosmetologist people you know your hair is not hard to do I think girls are just spoil too and they want to be pampered in I guess that's okay if that's what you want but I could spend my money out of the things like a new outfit and you purse a new pair of shoes rubbing spending all that money at the salon when I can do it myself and do it better and you probably could too but you just don't have enough confidence you never do it one time you won't go back and guess what if you mess up its hair it will grow back it is not the end of the world that's how we live and learn doing hair is so simple but if you working in the public doing hair that's a different store because you have to know all this skin and scalp diseases you have to know the whole anatomy of the body do you think that it does not apply and cosmetology well yes it does you're not a dermatologist but you have to deal with a lot of skin disorders and scalp disorders true

[@gospelrecordingartiststyli3848]

I am a master colorist and I thought I should leave a quick Warning: This is Not something that will work on just any shade of hair. This would only lift one-two shades at best and a natural blonde color, if your lucky maybe some with darker blonde. Still, the color would lean to a more gold or brassy tone. Definitely not what you want to use when trying to achieve more of a bright platinum or creamy beige tone. Anyone with med- darker hair would definitely find themselves with more a red, orange, yellow/gold or brassy tone.

I now have a pixie cut and I just tried on a part of my head which could be hidden if it did not turn out for some reason....WELL, IT DID WORK for me and looks great. My hair is golden blonde with highlights, and this worked really well. I will let my hair get a bit dirty again and do the rest of my head. I used a plastic knife, even though you had no problems, Lou, I noticed that the little stirring paddle is plastic...so I went with plastic and left it on for about 15 minutes--then washed my hair in the shower. This could not have been easier and I keep going back to my mirror to check it out. This is great and the color is soft and my hair shines so it did not burn it. Many thanks for a great tip. Jolen cost me $5.69 in CVS today and with a $3.00 off coupon--$2.69! My hair dresser wanted to charge me $80.00 to highlight a pixie :-(.

Thank you so much for you video. I have added these highlights using the facial bleach. It is so non damaging and economical. Used to streak my hair with a cap with a lot stronger bleach, or pay a lot for foils at a hairdresser. Not using dark dyes anymore for the silvers coming through due to reports of dangers of that, will just use this for highlights all over now. Beauty of it is you can redo highlights in various stages to lift them to the required level, over a period of time, and section hair to do underl ayers and sides if you do you your hair up.

This is 40 years old, started in France I think. Instead of using a knife, I was taught to use a wide tooth comb, squeeze out the bleach/color on the comb "exclamation points" (start at the tip of the twine of the comb with a large amount, then taper off to a smaller amount on the twine), then drag the comb through the roots. Only worked for dark blonde hair as it's not precise enough and darker hair will show the imprecision. I like this because you can be more precise but it's still a fast way of doing it. Lifting up each strand and "painting" is very time consuming!

Wow, it came out so natural, soft and feminine. Great job!

[@himsyambrose]

so the bowl, brush and developer you threw over your shoulder is the EXACT SAME THING THAT CAME IN YOUR DOLLAR STORE BLEACH KIT, ONLY SMALLER.what a dope.you don't have to apply with a brush, its there for mixing. you can apply with your freakin finger if you want. EXCELLENT tutorial for those who want the orange stripes in your hair like this guru has. good luck !

[@juliadawnyel3648]

So true same

[@shereecaves8387]

I love it !!! You are very pretty and you did a beautiful job and made it look so easy !! Thank you !!🌴🌴❤❤

[@Jete59]

I used to use that to bleach my mustache, then take what ever was left over and touch it to the waves in my brown hair. Every time was a different place but it created a lightened by the sun look.

[@charmedmimi]

This is really awesome! I never thought knife (lol) highlights could turn out this good!

[@kirstistraker8386]

Love it! My sis used to bleach her eyebrows to match her hair with Jolene! 😂

[@judiroth7855]

Wait - how did u wash it out w/o scrunching the hair together and having bleach rinse through the rest of the hair? Thanks and terrific job!

[@lisdiz99]

[@reneeca5696]

[@PennysLifeWithLove]

skip2mylou I only have one concern . You didn't say how long to leave it on??

[@mertzmaher4911]

Pennys Life With Love She said 15-20 minutes

[@rae4520]

I think it would be easier to use a thin paint brush, but this is very cool too!

[@sarahholland2600]

I use an eye shadow brush . It's much easier to hold & v accurate.

[@MA-wunjo]

WOW! I am giving it a try... genius idea and I am a user of the product already. Totally can relate to not following the directions exactly, but appreciate you recommending that people do. Thank you .....Wish me luck!

[@daniaa.oliva-pena7338]

Look's great ! I use to use "Jolen" to put a streak in my hair. It work quick . I remember putting that stuff on my face because I had peach fuzz ,I don't think I needed it . It burned the crap out if my face and gave a great sunburn look .

[@cmedance]

Great video! I hate when ppl go on and on. You got right to the point! I think my hair is about the same natural color, I think. I'm a medium ash brown. I hope that I can find that jolen name brand. I'll let you know. Thanks for the great video.

[@cmedance]

I found it in couple places!

[@SB-hl8eo]

Saw another home highlights tutorial using top edge of plastic comb; might be an alternative to using metal butter knife (since 1 comment mentioned metal & bleach prods aren’t great combinations). But this is perfect, and cheap too - thx so much!

[@rachelcassidy4793]

maybe a throwaway plastic knife too
