BALAYAGE | How To Create A BLENDED BALAYAGE By Doing A FULL FOIL & ROOT SHADOW

[@mandybusick7193]

I tried using water in my blondeme and you're right! It really makes a difference. I have been doing hair for 23 years and there is always something new to learn.Thank you for your videos!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh yayyy! That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for watching!

[@vinoto]

How do you use water in blondme?

[@mandybusick7193]

@@vinoto She has a few videos showing. I mix my developer in and just add a little water at a time till the consistency is where I want. It glides through the hair so much better plus it seems to saturate better as well.

[@vinoto]

@@mandybusick7193 thanks , I'll check it out

[@jenniferwilson744]

I really enjoy your teaching style and appreciate that you express your occasional anxiety. I really relate to that and seeing you work through your thought process is so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing all you beautiful work and techniques.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you so much for watching! Anxiety is a real thing! Crazy how many people relate to it!

[@anglu5494]

Wow and wow! You teach so well. Great technique! I have used the front (money piece technique, three fine weaves and the the fourth a teased one. So good. Thank you!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yay! Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate your feedback!

[@vikq5655]

Been doing hair 30 years and I agree 100% with your approach. It makes sense and gives beautiful results.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you! That means so much especially with all your years of experience!

[@1cutie]

Beautiful work I love it and can not wait to try out the tipping ends like how u did for this video. I use to work for a older salon so we weren’t expose to these types of techniques but since I left and became an independent stylist I’m noticing a lot more techniques than usual. Thank u for sharing.

[@racheltolliver1248]

Love it! I appreciate all the tips and suggestions for different types of clients. I have been using alot of the random advice like adding a little water to your blonde me and i do believe it helped. Thanks again!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh good! Im always so glad to hear when someone gets something from my videos. Thank you so much for watching!

this is the best video on your channel and probably on youtube, i have seen most of your vids. the details in this one are amazing. you are awsome !!.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh wow! Thank you for the compliment!

[@mikaanderson5748]

Gorgeous!! Btw I always foil the nape sections diagonally to follow the shape of their head. It’s such a softer grow out. 💗

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you, and I agree! No harsh lines!

[@stylistbiscuit]

Thank you Kristi - you are a true artist and excellent educational teacher ! I picked up so many tips and dos and fonts right down to adding a little water to your bleach mixture to keep it from swelling! I’ve been in thi biz for over 3 decades and I’m thrilled to learn new patterns and ideas! God Bless you- oh yeah - HE already has!!!!

[@9954012]

My lord I love your videos and you ALWAYS make senses lol! When you ramble as you say you really make sense and are being so REAL!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh good! Trust me, this makes me so happy to know! I always worry I don't make sense!

[@AxMarix]

Yes! You've explained perfectly. I've been struggling to figure out what step I've missed. And you hit the nail on the head. Thanks.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh great! Im so glad!

[@annacarrera6691]

She was Happy 😊 came out soo Nice!!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! Makes me so happy!

[@mikelewis9119]

First off I want to say this is the best video I have seen explaining this!!!...What if my client does not want a shadow root and wants to keep there natural hair color? I see a trend where the initial highlights are applied with not as much care because they plan on solving and blending with shadow root. But how can this look be achieved without shadow root? And if I do use level 7 demi for example doing a shadow root, how long can I expect it to stay on the hair and how will the highlights around the root look after it fades off? Will it start to expose the top of my highlights and show the harsher lines etc? ...also I am really impressed that you care enough to actually reply to all the questions. So many people post a video then never reply. Thank you!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello! I definitely try to get back to every comment cause it really means so much that you guys take the time to subscribe/ comment and watch my videos! Im sure there will be a point I can't get back to everyone and I know id dread that time that comes cause I will go back and double check to make sure I'm not missing anyone and get anxiety about not responding fast enough 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ So I JUST posted a video on back combing the weave, very fine weaves and we didn't have to do a shadow root. Feather up into the roots helps also. If someone wants an ashy root generally it fades warm over time. It's never too harsh tho and fades nicely as time goes by. The longevity really is up to clients and how often they wash, heat, product used. So I never give a time frame I just tell them it will last longer if you do these things : less washing, less colder water, good products. Also, I agree about some stylists doing lazy work cause they can cover it with shadow and it makes me cringe!

[@KhanhNguyen-xr6jw]

I’m really enjoy your video and I learned a lot from you thank you so much❤️

[@sarahfields4988]

This helped me SO much oh my lord

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Omg loveee. I’m doing this on myself today. Yes I know what I’m doing been doing hair 15 years it’s just a bit diff on yourself! The root melt really helps for a lot of misgivings

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh good luck! I hope it turned out!

[@kev14609]

Hi Kristie! Loving your channel!! One of my tips is to weave your section normally and then paint it like a balayage but with full saturation on the ends but a Little more feathered at the root. I paint slants, V’s , w’s etc Also I sometimes tease the woven section and proceed with painting in the foil. Also if your really going for a blurred impression towards the root you can detail your work with the Redken Blur brush😊 and blend it more.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you! Ive seen that, it looks so cool!

[@awatley]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@joanangel5283]

Great video. Thanks.

[@yuliaborisova3216]

Great tips, just saw this work of art today! How long did you leave the root shadow on for? Will re-watch as I must have missed this part

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you! And typically 15 minutes roughly

[@lillianm1242]

This is gorgeous!! You’ve explained everything so well I’m hooked on your channel! I do have a question, I’m doing my hair today or tomorrow but I’m using shades eq for a toner I’m looking for a nice bright (not platinum )blonde any recommendations I have 9p, 9nb, 9n, 9gb . I was going to tap the root with a 6n . ❤️❤️

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello! Thank you so much! I appreciate such nice feedback! I don't really use shades so I'm not sure what would be a good suggestion.... I know ive used 9p/9t with clear for a really pretty cool blonde. Ive heard lots of gi so maybe adding a tiny amount for brightness. I think your formulation ideas sound great. Good luck! Also, pretty little ombre on Instagram uses shades, so maybe following her for formulations would be good

[@lindarivera6324]

Question! After you add the bleach on the ends, how do you remove the foils to the scalp if they process before the tip outs?

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

I would just be sure to tip out the ends early enough to where that doesn't happen. However in the chance it does, when you bank comb your tip out section, make sure your not grabbing hair that has multiple foil packets in between. That way you can just pull it out without breaking up the ends. Also, if you are truly just painting the ends, you can usually push the hair over, or lift it up a little to pull the foils out without messing up the painted ends. Just towel off the color/ bleach from the foils and it should dry out and stop processing

[@lilly-1154]

This was the best I’ve seen on KZbin, and Ive watched hundreds of videos on this topic. I wish I could afford you!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh wow! Thank you so much! That means alot!

Im so glad to hear! Thank you!

[@lispet03]

Is shadow root always necessary on balayage? I see it used with highlights too.

[@alliewheeler2135]

Wow her hairline is so dreamy. Why cant all my clients have this hairline haha!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Isn't that funny! I often think that about clients.... why can't all clients back comb like this.... comb out like this.... style like this lol the list goes on!

[@monicacontreras8821]

Can you re tell us your formula for the shadow root?? 😍 thank you you did amazing 🙌🏻

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello! Right into minute 21:00 I go over that, using Paul Mitchell the demi.

[@Jana-qe3ug]

Wow!!! Absolutely stunning. Beautiful blonde colour, beautiful soft shadow root.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you so much!

[@rosemaryosteguin823]

So you toned it all over first. Than shadow root ?? Looks beautiful. Never seen it done that way.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! Sometimes I feel it's best to tone first, then whatever is still too brassy and doesn't tone down, I can swipe the shadow root color thru the brassy strands to tone down the warmth. Thank you for watching !

[@michellehernandez9954]

Amazing work. New subscriber here. ☺️. Quick question. If someone is a natural level 4. How would you. Go about blending those highlights without darkening them too much? On this girl you used a 7 at root to blend with her natural. I can’t imaging using that same concept right??

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello and thank you for subscribing! Here's a video on blending dark hair. It really depends on the look they want. If they're trying to tone down the roots with a shadow and not be super blonde, I'd do this ⬇️⬇️⬇️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/a52XloxtbtqneaM If they want to be super blonde but have blended roots, I'd more back comb the roots but not shadow like this ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqHMkJicjaabmZI

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Seriously Kristi I feel like you and other stylists would really benefit if you took just like a tiny bit of time every few months to go into education? You seem like a natural teacher

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you! That means so much! I kind of have thought about this but I feel like it's hard.... I'd potentially be teaching the same info I give away on here for free so then I'd either have to give less info here to be fair to those who pay for if or do less KZbin videos. It's a hard balance to figure out.

[@lisarios1374]

Excellent technique and gorgeous color! Thnx also for tips on Igora vs Paul Mitchell.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@conniemcleod8279]

Did you mention what brush you used on the highlight/Balayage

[@anglu5494]

I was going to say that root shadow adds more time 😔 when you work on a salon you’re expected to perform at a certain speed ...i do love root shadows. It’s even relaxing as well

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes I agree , but for someone not comfortable doing balayage yet, doing a foil then rooting it helps create that look. I try not to do a shadow of I don’t have to cause your right... the timing!

[@Millasoaps]

[@kirstymckenna7324]

Do you do the same technique when she comes back again without taking all blonde through? X

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes, not running thru the ends tho just blending

[@matangifamily5795]

How long do you leave shadow root on?

[@Meeesa]

So beautiful!! I have a question... When you do the root shadow, do you condition the hair after you shampoo the lightener out? Whenever I do root shadows I always have a tough time combing through non-conditioned hair, but conditioning makes the demi color harder to penetrate the hair....yes or no?

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello, thank you for your question! So when I do a root shadow, I typically always put just a treatment on the ends of the hair, mostly olaplex. That way it helps strengthen the hair and also acts as a barrier incase any of the root color touches where I don't directly want it. I usually always comb my shadows all the way thru the ends so it blends well, and it doesn't deposit too strong because of the barrier. Just softly

[@Meeesa]

@@hairbykristijennings6648 Oohh yes, that makes total sense! One of those, "why didn't I think of that!?" 🤣 Thank you for your help!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Because I have no idea what you're talking about, I watched the whole video back. Just FYI, when you speed up a video 5x faster it can look like im vigorously applying bleach/ foiling her head. But thanks for the feedback! Il be sure to keep my speed in real life time. The video might end up being 3 hours long, but hey! At least you'll be able to see how gentle I really am. Il be sure to keep excedrin at my station JUST in case.

[@tammyhoffman124]

Head moving drives me crazy. You put them where you want them and they literally move it back after a couple seconds. 🙄😳😂
