How to Balayage Highlight Your Hair at Home!

[@claudial6808uk]

It looks great 😊this is one of the best home ombre / balayage bleach and colour on the web ive ever seen🎉 beautiful result

[@cynthiacorriveau7096]

I watched your video twenty times before I finally bit the bullet and went through with coloring my own hair and I have to say I LOVE IT! Thank you for this! It gave me the confidence to do it.

[@meganwest9882]

cynthia corriveau I’m so glad!

[@KarenReadsTaillight]

I LOVE your hair. Thank you for this video. I finally tried it on my hair using L'Oreal Colorista Ombre and it worked so beautifully. I'm thrilled because it's exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!

[@cathyhowell1294]

Hey, I think you did a great job. I just have 1 tip for you. When you're applying the color to cover the grey hair rub it through the strands but don't rub it into your scalp. That makes your head burn and itch!! I noticed you were doing that at the beginning of the application and said it was burning so I figured I'd let you know for future reference. I'm just starting my training in Makeup Artistry at the age of 48! I've always been fascinated with makeup and I love the way you did yours for this video 💕 Take Care, Cathy

[@MargaretDL12]

I must say that I love this vid. You get right to the point. No 10 to 15 mins of blah, blah, blah like other women/girls do, which is totally irrelevant to the vid. Its frustrating, which I end up switching off to another channel. I love how you keep me, the viewer totally engaged to the purpose of the vid at the same time talking a bit about yourself and family. Nicely done. Keep up the good work.

[@MegMakesitPretty]

M DL what a sweet, thoughtful comment! Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful new year 😊

[@iitsacecithiing]

YES!!! Ugh!! This is the first video I watch that is informative and fun but goes straight to the point. Other people talk about the same thing over and over again!

[@musicrocksinaustin]

I agree! Regarding DIY balayage videos… I have had to start watching the videos actually teaching the hairstylists the balayage technique because I will watch so many videos of other people and they just ramble on way too long. She is straight to the point!

[@ninafrazee]

Thank you for this! No one has the same hair as me so it was nice to have a video that represents my hair! ❤

[@joyal77]

Love this! 🤩I’ve been doing this to my hair since I was 18! At home! I’m 40 now!!!

[@muppetdad4236]

Great tutorial, please wish us luck! 😆 I’m about to ATTEMPT to help my wife with her long hair....

[@SoniaRoimer]

How did it go? :)

[@jen5487]

Your hair is beautiful and looks better than half of the salon jobs I've seen!❤

[@wu_v]

She's so pretty and I like that she gets to the point quickly! Perfect!!😍

[@HollyHargreaves]

You are absolutely adorable. I love your accent & how you said you don't care what it looks like. That's freedom, baby.

[@catturner23]

Gives me confidence to do this myself! Ty, best at home tutorial I’ve seen so far!

[@alexisagbi8603]

This is a One of the best Woman to Woman, Mom to Mom, Wife to Wife, Professional to Professional down to earth DIY video Without the Therapy session we Woman in High Demand of our time pray for. ❤️ Thank you Madame.

[@veronicarosario2656]

Absolutely loved your video and the way your hair came up. I’ve done my hair at home but only to cover my greys and now you’ve inspired me to do the balayage at home too! Thank you so much for sharing and for keeping it simple without any additional gadgets other than your hands! Much love from San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Mrs-gg6vw]

I love how subtle they are! You did fantastic!

[@jessicaowens836]

You are so brave doing that in your living room! Every single time I do my hair, I drip color on my floor and get it everywhere.....but your hair turned out beautiful!

[@TomandShanDooley]

A BIG thank you from one Mummy to another Mommy! Just what I needed. Am a brunette and trying to DIY to save $$$. God bless from Western Australia - Shannon 😁

[@geminirosequarts4928]

Girl...it looks like you got it done at a salon....great job and your technique works very well.

[@ceax3079]

Put them in foil each bleached part it lifts better and quicker but keep checking and after washed it out,goes darker than when bleach is on. And frame the face. Two boxes is best everyone seems to run out. Great result 😍

[@ceax3079]

Well I bleached my hair and took my own advice.. next time I will take thinner sections like this lady did! Now knowing it's not as easy as I appears, she did a very good job!

[@just_observing8248]

Prob my tenth time over the year or so, that I’ve came back and watched this video!!🙌🏼

[@RoxyMorningStar]

Beautiful result my friend!

[@bessieleal3389]

Ahhh! This is the vid I have been looking for for months! I needed to dye my roots dark before doing the balayage and wasn't too sure how to do it. Thanks so much for posting, girl! -xoxo from another 31 year old RN in Canada!

[@MegMakesitPretty]

Hi Bessie! I am so glad this was helpful! How did it turn out?

[@HSingMomto5Kids]

Others don't show how to cover the gray and highlight so thank-you love it!!!

[@msstephaniestarbird]

This is my first time watching your vid but I recently did this to myself (diy bayalage) and I have similar hair as you. I pretty much did it exactly the same as you!! Super cool now I feel less crazy. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lisabauche3536]

what a great sense of humor you have. Thank you for the informative video. You seem like an awesome person.

[@lesliegums5119]

Lol just now getting ready to work with clay bleach/ lightening and am watching your video. Im chuckling over your lament if getting grey at 31. Then not wanting to work out but like food. Well let me tell ya... first I'm a hairstylist by trade and a dancer by avocation. Your a beautiful girl and you'd better not take that for granted. The picture that is with this post im 58yo. You want to not scare yourself or your loved ones years down the line then plan on and get used to the idea that you're going to have to bust your ass to maintain and keep what god gave you to start with. I taught aerobics for 10+ years in Dallas, TX. and spent 10 years in the military and trained for police work. So it doesn't matter what you choose just plan on it being consistent, hard, grueling but completely worth it. Im now 68 and it's getting tougher but I've got the grip strength of the average older male. Being a nurse you should have a pretty good idea of how all this works physiologically. Being in home health you get to see how the alternative pans out. Bed bound and miserable. Don't mean to preach or lecture but i just had to pass on a bit of this old lady wisdom. Good luck to you my dear.🥰

[@sarahpanigada4684]

YES YOU! looks lovely. very pleased, im dark brown and did this a month ago and now Im kind of brassy/orangey, which im not sure if i like, but thia week im gonna go over it again and add some depth and more highlights to it. Love your blue eyes girl XXX thank you btw

[@kristinsrowland8313]

Just do a toner or purple shampoo it'll turn the orange blonde. Go to sallys

[@mochar2027]

Awesome video! Love your video!! Thank you for posting. I tried this for the first time today and its exactly what I wanted! My hair is curly & thick, it took a bit longer but it was so worth it, without the crazy expensive price at a salon. 🔥

[@MegMakesitPretty]

yay! I'm so glad it worked out!

[@southernbelleyorkies]

I love this video! You are just normal which is fun to see once in a while. Thank you!

[@lilacpeonies9643]

Same! She’s normal, like a friend talking to us. No hype. To the point. Confident to admit a few mistakes and then easily fixing them. So chill. And she’s so dang beautiful in a perfectly fresh way!

[@marykay1356]

Great outcome and you’re very to the point which makes viewing enjoyable! Thanks 😁

[@marge3477]

Love you honesty and self acceptance thank you for being real! God bless!

[@Alldaysun]

Confidence level while you're coloring your hair:100%🙌

[@66manj]

I love the result the no fuss technique ❤love how you’ve done your eyes You should do a video on that too

[@Gracewins1974]

That stuff can fly around my bathroom no matter how careful I am, or how far away I am from stuff. I would NEVER do it in my living room or near my couch. Yikes!

[@Voodoorai]

I've been doing my own hair for years and I still can't avoid getting it everywhere. I even have touch up paint for my door that is behind me from little tiny splatters. And i've learned to put lotion around my neck, ears, forehead and on my forearms so it wipes off easy as I go. Each time I look around afterwards and think "what? is this your first time? really!" haha

[@patriciachavez7841]

Congrats!! 👏👏👏 to her. She can do it!! 👆👆

[@just_observing8248]

No pro here at allll but I actually am pretty neat 🙃

[@imelindacarcia6543]

It does seem to get everywhere, no matter how hard I try. Brave girl.

[@SaraFJones]

Gave me anxiety for her the whole time! I even turn my rugs upside down in the bathroom 😂😂😂

[@smritisingh3298]

Loved this technique! I was looking for highlights without harsh line on hair! Great job👏👍

[@natashalindner2059]

You look beautiful xox. I saw my first grey hair in my early 30s but have loved colouring my hair since. So now in my later 40s I am going for a golden brown tone and then when I get totally grey roots, I'll switch to lighter colours.

[@kariclarke4215]

Man, you are so funny! That look is so flattering on you. Accent is so adorable. I must see what other videos you have. Thanks for helping me jump off the ledge and do my own highlights.

[@joangentile2731]

It came out beautiful!! I love it!! Great color!! 😊

[@Cyndy101]

Thanks for a great diy video! I'm a licensed hairdresser but I changed careers after I got my license. Ha ha so the only thing I use my license for is to purchase professional products. 😉 I guess you could say that over the last couple months I've had hair stylists block (similiar to writer's block). I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with my hair. BUT seeing your video made me realize it's fall and I need to just do some balayage to wake my dull hair back up. Thanks!!!

[@MegMakesitPretty]

Hey I would use it to purchase good products too!

[@Charley711away711]

Thank you so much! I have dark brown hair and I've wanted to try this, long thin, and wavy with STUBBORN grays! I've got a few years on you. Watching you makes me thing I can do this.

[@braaron77ify]

This is a whole day project for me 😂 Awesome job.. Thanks for sharing.

[@yvonneherrera4632]

oh my goodness i love your vid. I'm going to try this myself. Thank you I never knew they had kits to do this at home. Thank you and it came out great on you.

[@crepusculla5508]

Did you do it?

[@ardeladdison3300]

OMG ty for sharing just got my kit to cover Gray's and then want a a change ombre look so this video is Awesome. Beautiful hair, looks healthy.

[@isisa.1348]

I love it!!! Girl I am with you on the grays!!! I didn’t start getting grays til I had my 2nd baby at 34!!! 🙄 and yall is a very addictive word!!! I’m from NYC and we say Ya up there, moved down south and now it’s y’all all day and night!!!

[@sisha161]

OMG! Thanks for this video! I have been looking for DIY videos for highlights and I think I have found it!!!

[@srahman2256]

sisha161 how did yours turned out?

[@sharonmariewhitehead8352]

Your hair looks great! Thanks for this tutorial and you are beautiful!!

[@MegMakesitPretty]

you are welcome and thank you!!

[@CheyenneNixon-p8m]

I think it's absolutely beautiful the chocolate brown as for me I'm a little afraid of bleach but I have done it I know you mean about gray hair I found my first one when I was 16 years old? very beautiful hair well done I do my hair and then if I mess it up I have to go get somebody to fix it LOL no I really just do it myself. I think you did a fantastic job thank you for😊 sharing Once I was trying a new color and it said to put on clean washed hair I thought it meant wet hair so I bought Wella dark brown it came out as a really beautiful chocolate brown I'm not bragging but I got so many compliments for that it may have been well a darkest Brown I don't know but I put it on wet hair and it came out really nice it was really a beautiful color my hair pulls a lot of red because I've had Auburn and brown hair I'm trying to do a reverse Balayage now thanks for sharing again😊

[@mehzabinpinky]

love the end result so pretty

[@rebeccahenderson5845]

Omg I love you. You're my inner spirit animal or whatever. I love food also.

[@stephaniek5435]

Lol I was going to say the same thing! Love her!! I actually used this video a year ago to do my hair for the first time using balayage and when it came time to do it again I’ve been searching for this video I couldn’t find it but I’m so glad I did she’s so hilarious & I love her attitude ;)❤️❤️❤️

[@bigfanoflizzybusy9053]

You are so pretty, thinking about tying this on my hair since we have close to the same eye and hair color. I would love to see a video on how you did your hair, I love it! Thanks 😘

[@naomiswinehart8264]

Thanks for this. I didn’t even know they had this! I like how they take the guesswork out of it for you! Plus I love the brown color! Totally do this exact color! Thanks!!!

[@leann74016]

Thank you for showing how you did this. I have thick dark hair as well. But I'm gonna do this!!!

[@lesliebyrd5959]

Thank you for your video, I too would love to be brave and dye my own hair. It’s hard coming up with 100$ plus dollars to get my hair colored every few months cause I have grays too. I’m doing much research for different hair colors. You are very beautiful by the way. And thank you again! Your video was very helpful.

[@LittleDisney19]

Great tutorial. I need to redo mine and this video looks pretty much perfect. Thanks.

[@jd3743]

Love it!!

[@erbear3076]

Omg I totally thought you were Megan Leigh. Especially from the thumb nail. I was like that’s weird she changed her KZbin name. You are beautiful! Thanks for sharing loved how it came out!

[@tenaciousdee2133]

It looks stunning 🤩

[@mellerkeller9511]

Please do a video on how you style your hair!! I love it.

[@stephaniecollins2157]

Ive never taken on 2 different processes but u make it look easy

[@sweetessence1970]

What is the dark color you used first ? Your hair is in great condition !

[@codygingerr3505]

Wow how easy! I am so afraid to do it myself as I have gray hair also and I wanna save money. Will try to highlight my hair this summer. Wish me luck!

[@manifestdigitalagency]

I agree, you are beautiful and the bronzer does not look so spotty as you think

[@duhsunnyday8590]

Love your eyes! You'd look good dyeing your hair red! It would make your eyes pop even more 😍

[@DokBua0424]

Omg i feel you on the gray hairs . But aint no thang hair coloring cant fix rite. I love it very nice❤

[@tracimccoy211]

I love this video! Ive watched it many times. Are you going to be doing any new video's?😊

[@LadyPhade]

very pretty lady. im scared of boxed dyes or anything as stylists swear they are the worst but your hair looks amazing! i wish i could do this to my own hair.

[@natgrat3992]

you're so funny and down to earth🤗thank you for being so authentic and helpful!👍😉

[@MegMakesitPretty]

This comment made my day, thank you!

[@cherripaterson6066]

im kinda allergic to some haircolors. i probably would just do the ends of my hair to be hightlighted, love your tutorial ! i love how you explain the part about fading the ends ,more solution towards the ends ,for slowly fading. like blending this will help me alot when i do my ends. your hair highlights turned out awesome!

[@rimantebikeyogadesert]

Amazing! Seems quite easy!

[@clopez247]

Hi Meg! I watched a couple of ur videos and I just love ur look, ur accent and ur friendly chatter! Ur a very beautiful woman and I can relate with the kiddos! Mine are grown now but lol seeing ur babies definitely took me back. I have 2 boys 16 and 14 and one girl 19. I was also being a pepsi (short slang word I use to describe when I wanna say nosy😏) and I was reading the comments. Lots of compliments! U go girl! And some haters...unfortunately😒. But u handled urself quite nicely 👍😎. I hope to see some more videos soon. I love ur makeup look and I absolutely love ur hair! U take care of ur beautiful baby boys now! 💛

[@cristenryan1365]

Thank you so much for posting this video, Meg! You have inspired me so much! I’ve been searching for a simple, yet successful, way to do my hair at home. You nailed it! I immediately went and bought this kit and did it. Thank you for being real and inspiring others to be brave with their hair! You’re beautiful! PS: It seems that they have discontinued the color “caramel glaze.” What color do you use now? Any suggestions for a close replacement? Thanks for your time! :)

[@kelseyaftnfamily_o.o8633]

Your eyes!! Thanks for the video trying to do my own hair as well!

Thanks Heather!

[@GirlyTipsEtc]

Will try this out looks very natural thanks for sharing cant wait to see more videos from you! Have a blessed weekend

[@MegMakesitPretty]

Thank you!

[@srahman2256]

GirlyTipsEtc how did it turned out?

[@kingfamilykaos]

What was the dark color called that you put in to cover the gray? And where did you get it? lOVE that color! Please and thanks 💙

[@SaraSara-uc1xo]

If you would like to cover grey hair always use 6.1 or 7.1

[@MrsPete-mq4tv]

I just happened to click the video and i luv ur personality lol so im here to stay lol

[@Allieroias]

I have the same kit but my is the 6.1 , I wanted something new my is light ash brown… I wanted to try this kit first and then I will probably go lighter. I have grey hairs too and it looks really beautiful

[@sarahanthony3231]

Gorgeous! I bought the kit, trying it this week!

[@sweetpiecesbymechar]

Beautiful, I think it looks perfect! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@SusieB-et7fl]

This video was really helpful. I am still scared to try it myself but I am thinking about adding some highlights to what I already have. I also wanted to say that you are really pretty. Thanks for the vid. I subscribed to your channel.

[@ashleygeorge3567]

Your hair looks great! I hope my ending result looks as good as yours! Ha! Ordered my box and can’t wait to do my hair on Monday!! Not nervous at all.... Thanks!!

[@horsefeathersSLJ]

Meg It is beautiful!!!! Wonderful Video , I think it is so cool that you and others share on KZbin. I've been doing my mine since I was 15 . I could not and would not pay $175.00 and generally turned out :( . The salon process if you are a real blonde and want like 3 lighter blonde coloring shades, I call it minxing. The salons would either get it White :S or Gray White :s :s. I've always used L'Oreal and know just how much time to get the color pale pale yellow I want. No toners needed and besides they just wash out anyway after a couple of washings and the box colors imo I found not as harsh as salon and my hair after conditioning felt so good. Thank you Thank you.

[@sandracombariza2094]

WOW, this is a great video and thank you so much for sharing and your hair came out great and also you are beautiful. Thanks so much!

I love this. I always buy 2 kits. It's still cheaper than the salon. You are beautiful, by the way.

[@trenamaxson1641]

I'm glad I'm not the only person that colors grey AND highlights in the same day...LOL.
