Can I use a regular powder bleach using this technique? If so, should I foil the bleached hairs to avoid strips?

[@karlasaldana7795]

Disculpa ,no se mancha el resto del pelo?

[@jillmanfull2507]

How will the clay not bleed on other hair? Love this!!! Thanks

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi, Jill! Our Clay Lightener is made with a kaolin clay base, allowing for the outside to dry while the inside stays moisturized and continues to process. This is what makes it so that it does not bleed or transfer onto other hair. We hope this helps!

[@elinorkent7188]

That was an awesome tutorial. What modifications do I have to do in order to apply this on a previously highlighted hair?

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi Elinor! Great question! Depending on the client's current hair condition, you may need to use a lower volume developer and process for less time. Keep a close eye on the hair as it processes, as it may not need the full processing time as a virgin application normally would. As always, starting with a test strand is recommended before performing a full application to ensure the right products are needed for your client's desired end result. We hope this helps!

[@elinorkent7188]

[@kearabevels]

I like this technique as well, because I hate how long it takes to foil a clients head, unless it’s partial highlight. I’ve had other stylists opinions on this technique, some of them don’t care for it because it looks like it was done to quickly and not done. But agrees it looks great when styled. But I love it regardless 😊

Thank you, Keara!

Hi Cristina! Its a Coo board Balayage Tool. cooboardtools.com/

[@bb89670]

Like your technique, I will try it , just curious, what color was the toner you used?

[@KenraProfessional]

Hello! Mirella used Kenra Color B Rapid Toner, which is a beige toner with violet undertones to neutralize warmth, ideally at levels 9 and 10. We hope this helps!

[@lizeichberger5429]

Beautiful ❤ I like the curling iron.. wha brand is it?

[@KenraProfessional]

T3 curling iron

[@dorieargyrakis6879]

Someone may have asked already, but what brand is that curling iron?

[@claudiaavalos8630]

Do you add toner wet or dry I was confused as I saw your picture with before toner and after toner it was dry , I saw it was wet when you added toner st washbowl Thx 🙏

[@KenraProfessional]

A toner can be applied to either damp or dry hair. In most cases, after a lightening application, the toner is applied to damp hair. Be sure to towel the dry the hair to remove excess moisture in the hair before applying the toner.

Hi Denise, its a Coo board Balayage Tool! cooboardtools.com/

[@lj2989]

I'm a student and wondering if this could also be done without back combing/teasing the hair and just applying the lightener further down/leaving more depth on the root area of each section? Would a similar outcome be achieved? Thanks 🙂

[@KenraProfessional]

Balayage can be done without backcombing! You will see a different result and will need to be more mindful of your application. We recommend trying it out on a doll head or a test strand.

[@foodiegaltv3286]

Hi merill befour you fo blen lightner what color it was you hav mention tell tru

[@shaeleasteeby7402]

So when you say you let her process for 45min. Did you start the 45min from the time you started the bleach, or 45min after applying all the bleach?

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi Shaelea! This can vary depending on your application timing and section sizes. Ideally, you will start the 45 minute processing when the final piece is complete. If your client has high density hair, you may need to process at different rates and rinse in between sections. You may also need to adjust the volume of developer for each section depending on your clients desired level of lightness. We hope this helps!

So when you do this, do you only do the top side of the hair and not the back side when painting it on - is that the goal?

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi Kimmy0868! We recommend giving the Kenra Color Clay Lightener a try! It may become your new favorite.😉

[@alishpeach8]

I could be wrong but I feel like it kinda depends on where you are located. I live in a very dry climate, (Colorado), so even when I use a clay lightener, saturate and reapply a bunch; open air just dries so quickly! I end up having to use foils, but it's okay. Still love this process and this technique! Thank you for sharing!

How to do when the hair is very long virgin and dark?

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi! The Simply Blonde Clay Lightener lifts up to 8 levels!

[@crystalwhite9689]

Can I use a non clay lighter

[@KenraProfessional]

This technique can be used with other lighteners. You may need to us something such as foil for separation to prevent hot spots. The Clay Lightener creates a cast which prevents bleeding onto other areas.

[@chrisstef8004]

Beautiful blonde... But..being red-haired, I'm absolutely loving the red hair (colour and style) on the creator... gorgeous 🩷🩷🩷.. If someone sees this please advise the colour names or numbers.. Not a hairdresser just a fan.. 🙏🎄❤️
