How To Blend Out Hair Highlights With Balayage Highlights Quick and Easy

[@ginabaughn1745]

Not a licensed cosmetologist here… but just did this technique on my daughter and it was so much easier then foiling and it gave her such pretty blended highlights! Thank you 😊

[@akpenguin1859]

Thank you for your message 🥺. Social media is so intimidating

[@millennialdisposition]

My career has nothing to do with hair and I watch these videos like my life depends on it

[@JADE-ov1xd]

Thank you so much about mentioning the bit about social media. People boasting about spending hours on one person to push the envelope on a service. That 8 hours is also very costly!! Most clients can’t afford an all day session costing hundreds of dollars. Thank you for being realistic and practical

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Absolutely my pleasure Jade yes who has the time of money to spend eight hours in the salon I don’t so I don’t think it’s realistic for me to promote techniques that are going to be done over the span of eight hours 👍🏻

[@kazzahotpink]

Loved it. Thank you for the reminder tip re: taking our clients on a journey, rather than all in one 8hr day!

[@tinareinforth973]

Fantastic I have been using this technique for years so nice to see u do it as I do, meaning it makes feel better about it as I always felt like a cheat but clients always loved the natural way it grows out thank u James 😆

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Tina never feel bad about the technique you use you are the professional here do what you need to get the job done don’t feel like you need to conform to the constraints of other peoples techniques 😁👍🏻

[@Lucy-gd1zm]

Thank you again for your amazing video. My hair is almost similar to Patricia except I have 50 %grey roots on the front and both sides of my face. I will follow your video to do the my dark roots (6ish )behind my ears to the back of my head. I have S. blonde 9 lift with 20 vol. only . Can I use 30 vol. but diff. brand? Could you please kindly help me how I should tackle the front and both side of my hair with 50% grey and what product

[@Lucy-gd1zm]

I should use. Thank you very much! More power to you, stay healthy and safe. Take care

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Fantastic and I hope it works out for you Lucy what I would say is if you’re thinking about mixing 30 volume from a different brand with the blonde nine level do that at your own risk it’s never advisable to mix peroxides from different brands with each other

[@TheLifeOfHair]

As far as tackling The sides and the front hairline well without being out to actually see your front hairline or the side it’s tricky for me to say but I would imagine that you’ll be able to take it on exactly like he would be back or anywhere else preach this white hair as if it’s blonde hair so you just get a nice pale blonde on on the grey bits 😁👍🏻

This is gorgeous! I have a client that is a brunette level 5/6 who wants to go brighter as she is sick of doing retouches every 3 weeks. Do you think this technique suits the purpose? I probably have to foil it I guess.. Or the alternative I was thinking would be balayage with 40 vol. What would you do? Thanks a lot James!

[@marinaemonale137]

I was even thinking to do slightly diagonal back sections of 2 back to back foils with this technique to give a blended balayage look, could be a good idea💡 ☺️

Definitely use clear film or foil to incubate.

@@pimpmyride7278 thank you for the kind answer!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Pimpmyride has it cling film would be a great addition for more lift or you could do some foils and space them out in the same way as this technique and if you wanted to take it one step further you could put a low light in between each lightener you soften even more 👍🏻
