How To: EASY and CHEAP DIY Balayage!!

[@monicagabino7943]

so, my daughter asked me if we can get her hair balayaged. there is no way I could afford it. I thought it'd be worth looking into doing myself. we saw many video's and by far this was the best! super easy and end result looks professional.. thanks for the video

[@pamelajuarez7768]

Monica Gabino Have you tried it? and if so how did it turn out?

[@PatrickGil123]

INCREDIBLE, my girlfriend followed every step and it came out great!! She said thank you!

[@sammyy9223]

Patrick Gilmore so sweet 😊

[@kakaudw1]

God I thought I was the only one. Did anyone here already use L'Oreal Colorista Balayage? I bought it,but I'm scared of making shit...well at least I'll be at home :)

[@doryq9238]

I did this at home and it turned out amazing!!! I just saved myself over $300, and I even got it done sooner than sitting for 5 hours at the salon! Plus, with the pandemic I didn't want to wait next year to get my hair done. I was so intimidated watching other KZbin videos on DIY balayage, but you make the process so much simpler. Thank you!!!

[@leoniasanders1478]

If I want my color burgundy would I get a burgundy toner?

[@PantsOHara]

T14 is great, but I recommend Wella's T18 Lightest Ash Blonde. It lifts lighter than the T14. Just in case anyone is reading and wants to go very light.

[@LJessii-]

Definitely Not Angelina Jolie excuseme and how often do i have to apply it?

[@ciar-t4236]

Thank you! :)

[@astera2286]

I know this is a very late comment but in case anyone comes across it, I would actually respectfully disagree :) t18 only really works on level 9, very light bleached hair, kind of the colour of inside of a banana. Using t18 on hair this dark won’t really do much at all :)

[@paolavaldez8415]

astera22 lol Litterally i was like should I let them know that toner doesn’t lift , it only deposits

[@laetitia8827]

toner doesn’t lift the hair it just tones the color to the preferred nuance but it can’t make your hair lighter. T18 is for lighter blond and if you don’t have a level 9/10 blond it won’t do anything for you

[@lindab1679]

GIRL YA MAKING ME REGRET MY $300+ BALAYAGE

[@emysantos3546]

Linda B for real. So much money I've spent on my hair and I could probably do it myself

[@eshaeagle]

Linda B lol srry the ones at my hair salon are like 60 - 120 dollars

[@marcusledoux4173]

Linda B

[@XxichemotoxX]

380$

[@velvet123]

That's why I want to do this at home and keep that 300 dollars in my pocket.

[@BeautyBranded]

AH I was cringing the whole time, i'm so happy it turned out nice! As a Balayage specialist it's super hard to watch "DIY balayage" videos but you were smart by only getting 20 volume, with it processing in open air 20 volume just lifts super subtle instead of getting "blonde" results. And thankfully you were still blending after you brushed it through. Unfortunately for my clients I get the not so lucky DIY disasters of orange, splotchy lines >.< If anyone decides to do this PLEASE only attempt a SUBTLE look with a few lighter pieces, (also don't try this if you have box color on your hair) and hopefully you won't end up at a salon afterwards that turns a balayage from $150 to a $400 color correction.

[@ValeriePerkins]

PREACH! Even though I just finished school for hairstyling I cringe as well, but I also get a lot of these videos in my recommendations so i watch them all the time😂

[@c_elss]

I was just going to say, if this goes wrong color correction runs about 80-150 and hour in my salon. it was SOO hard to watch. It actually turned out really well! I'm impressed!!

[@marlalovesu]

What would happen if you try this with a box color??

[@c_elss]

+marlalovesu the problem with box color is it is all different. You don't know what's in it and it's usually very strong and to remove it is difficult. When adding bleach/Lightner it usually turns out a weird brassy orange, OR the hair can turn totally black due to multiple chemicals in your hair. Box dye is just too risky and I think sally offers non box dye and developers at a cheaper cost. As well as application bottles if you're not comfortable with a color brush

[@alyssamartinez4412]

+Chanise Elston I box died my hair a while back to brown because I used to die my hair red and I just wanted it to be brown again. I want to get this done will it still be okay? I'm pretty sure most of my box color has already faded

[@pollylin]

the face you made when you brushed it though the first time, hahahaha like "can't go back now"

[@amandarubio8491]

I liked 2 mins. into the video for the facial expressions! hahaha

[@enasnazmy1779]

Lol

[@c_elss]

Your hair came out pretty darn good girl!!! I'm a cosmetologist, so I'm sure you can imagine my anxiety watching this. I'm seriously impressed!

[@laichan5527]

You're really pretty , I can't stop noticing that lol

[@DevanieFreitas]

THANK YOU! xoxo

[@hayakhan6992]

Devanie Freitas yes u r right..she is pretty...

[@andreaperez-ob4gc]

lmao seriously. can't even focus on her hair cuz im like omg her eyebrows...lashes...eyes...teeth...skin...GODDDD she's so pretty lol

[@d.bmeyers9540]

Right!? She looks like Emmy rossum to me. Pretty as can be! Thanks for showing how to get the look.

[@marapeer]

I love the placement, came out very nicely! Wanted to give you a quick tip; the Wella T14 toner is too light so it doens't really do anything; if you use a toner that is more suitable to your color level it'll give you better results! Also: if you use only 20 volume you can leave it in your hair a bit longer to pull some more orange tones out. Just cover it with cling film so it doesn't dry. I learned this from Guy Tang and it works amazingly.

[@janwu16]

+Mara B How do you know what toner is suitable to your color? thx

[@DevanieFreitas]

+Mara B Wow thank you!! The lady at Sally's suggested T14 because it was the coolest toned toner. What color would you suggest for dark brown hair? Guy Tang is a god!!

[@marapeer]

Picking the best toner depends on the color level of your highlights, just google "hair color levels" and you can estimate what your level is. The T14 "pale ash blonde" is very nice, but will only work properly on very light hair. You can always mix toners like T14 or T18 with a darker toner. Also there's a Wella product called 050, which is just a violet toned additive wich you can put with a toner for dark blonde hair. Personally I've also used hair color with a 10 or even 5 volume developer as a toner. I suggest you mix and match! And youtube as always will gives loads of suggestions.

[@DevanieFreitas]

Thanks so much!! I'm definitely going to take your advice!!

[@ashleyjohnson-uo2yd]

Love guy tang

[@molinalizbeth86]

Hi, I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing this, I did it this Saturday, just as you said followed exactly, and omg it came out just like yours which I totally loved, I went out today and all my friends where telling me how beautiful it looked and they all thought I paid top dollar for it lol, they knew it was a balayage right away, the only thing is here in Houston I only payed $13 at sallys for the items you said to buy so it was even cheaper, again thank you so much

[@SharoseMUA]

this is basically the best diy balayage i've seen today. and i've been binge watching diy videos for hours now lol

[@maria21mhmh]

OMG. I'm so glad I watched this before I went to the salon, thank you soooo much. This made me have more confidence in me doing it myself.

[@KoreLessons]

I watched your video years ago to do my Balayage! It came out great! Now doing it again after watching same video!!! ❤️❤️

[@raniaalabsi6330]

Just did this at home, my hair looks amazing and it only costed me $18 Thank youuuuu!

[@minzom5809]

How did you do it? Please reply

[@destinee_estrada]

I followed this for the first time and I WAS SUPER NERVOUS but it turned out super good and it’s easy for anyone to try out!

[@Yorfallon21]

This is like the best video ever! Seriously, professionals can't even make it look like that dad to say I've always gone to hair salon spent $180 four time and they suck. This is so much better.

[@Yorfallon21]

Sad*

[@maryjay1201]

Followed this video exactly, my hair turned out beautiful! Thanks girl, you’re the real mvp 🥰

[@christinesherman9813]

Tried this and it turned out so beautiful! No one can believe that I did it myself! It's about time to do it again so I had to watch and get a refresher course. Thank you for posting

[@samyyyg]

Hi I’m glad it came out great! Quick question, you used all the products even the toner? Because I’m thinking of trying it tomorrow ! 😳

[@hollycat13]

Thanks for this! I'm broke at the moment and wanted to lighten up my blonde hair with a subtle balayage so used this method with a tangle teezer. Looks great and natural and saved me a ton of money. Really easy method to follow

[@jasminezestrokes4704]

I will be honest, I have watched over a thousand videos on beauty/hair, and you stand out from all of them. You are so genuine, so real! I feel a beautiful, caring, funny soul behind this video. I can't wait to try this tomorrow, I will be writing on my blog and I will definitely link you to it.

[@ShineeandRise]

Literally the first video that’s made me feel ballsy enough to just go and do it!! Thank god for you!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😂😍

[@KindaADorkable]

I love her. She's so real and pure in her video.

[@Breeanamarie]

I have a feeling you are going to become one of my new favorites, please make more videos! I just finished watching you DIY baliyage and I think I'm going to go for it, wish me luck omg! xoxo

[@rachelsfuel7874]

Been researching soooo many balayage videos while in quarantine. Today is my day, can’t wait for the results, your tutorial seems like the EASIEST! Thanks for sharing!

[@roopalsharma6009]

This ws the best tutorial so far!! Unprofessionals like me can relate to it .. Thankyou.. ♡

[@NothingButAComment]

LOVE THIS!! I cut my own hair and did my own ombre a few years back but i was hesitant about doing a balayge myself but YOU JUST GAVE ME THE MOTIVATION.

[@v.wehrens4283]

I watched a lot of videos on balayage but yours makes the most sense. Thank you! The result is stunning and so natural 😁

[@MissAdamLambert888]

Literally the MOST natural balayage ever ! So happy for you

[@jessiesjournalyt]

Looks so nice! Thanks for sharing especially for dark hair!!

[@silviaolney]

Ive searched so many videos and you explained and did it do simple!! Come this summer im doing it! Thank you❤️

[@Baylaruse]

Thank you for this, it was obvious that you were aware of the risk of it being a major failure but it looked amazing and is very helpful. I was really blown away at how it turned out at the end, I could never have considered that technique to provide results like that. I'm going to give it a try tonight, so wish me luck. I really hope it turns out as good for me.

[@RuKi127]

How did it turn out?? Thinking of giving this a go!

[@sazz4657]

+Luna L. I guess it didn't turn out well, so she didn't reply..

[@msl5131]

LMAO☺ She's bald now.

[@bimimurray216]

I couldn't BELIEVE that turned out so well! Youre You're a natural talent

[@geeguerra8612]

Love it. So natural! Thought about getting it professionally done. But I’ll be risking by it by following your tips.

[@nicolette7007]

omg the results are actually perfect. it's more natural than how a salon would actually do it! so subtle, i love it!! this vid is great and so informative, thank u so much for sharing, i will def be trying this out

[@jananrazzaq-premdas4191]

I just did this on my mom and it came out looking AMAZING! I can't wait to do it on myself now!

[@brianawells669]

Your friend is so cute “it’s gonna look fucking good” 😂😂😂 love it

[@tinawallace5930]

Yea, that turned out perfectly! I'm totally going to try the method and products you used. This video is exactly what I was looking for - seems super easy to follow. Good job!!

[@Little-Sparrow]

Fantastic result! My stylist herself cancelled my balayage consultation a week before the lockdown was even announced! (Draw your own conclusions from that! But hence she will no longer be my stylist!- end of story!) I wouldn't want to try this single handed, but my late mom in law was a fantastic colour tech and stylist, so luckily the hubs has a few skills - he wasn't keen on trying this but now ive made him watcha few of these vids... 👍👍👍 we're on! 😉 *happy dance* 😃

[@anisharavi7466]

I used this technique and it was amazing. My hair looks soo pretty. Moreover it's my first time. This is the best video out there. I ended up saving a tonne of money

[@lisawhite3742]

I'm gonna try this! Thanks for the tip about the toner. I wouldn't think to pick a cool tone when I'm going for warm highlights, so I'm glad you explained that. Great job!

[@Ego-de4dt]

This is such a great step-by-step video. You did amazing thank you so much. Even the paddle brush idea. And saturating the bottom and the cohesiveness across the back. It came out super cute super! I love it! Thanks so much.

[@Thankful_.]

Your Ego I agree!

[@dipindermatharoo8896]

I have only one thing to say. IT WORKSSSSSSS SOOOO GREATTTTT. thanks girl you made me take the risk and its the best risk ever. I colored my hair for the first time in my life and im so glad I watched your video. Thank youuu so muchhh. Im in love with my hair.

[@cnunez13]

Wow you did such an amazing job, it looks so natural and perfect! I'm tired of paying $200+ for mine so I'm def trying this when its time to retouch! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@thenoella24]

I did this. I. Love. It. Thank you for this video!

[@prettygirlrock45]

did this to my boyfriend's older sister and it turned out extremely beautiful! Extremely easy, just split into many layers. once the bleach was taken out and there was some warmer tones to the blonde the toner pulled those warm orangish blonde colors right out in less then 10 minutes! obsessed with the turnout!

[@isabelacruz6379]

You have exactly the color I want in my hair !!! I wanna try it :)

[@enriquediceque950]

You are beautiful !!! and the whole video tutorial is so simple but yet so informative and easy to follow... way to go girl !

[@lorenbernardino5431]

Try using a 5 volume developer for toning. 20 volume is used to cover grey hair. The cuticle is already open from the bleach, you just need a 5 volume with toner to gloss over and seal the color in. I am a licensed cosmetologist, hope this helps! One love

[@questionmark9819]

Looks gorgeous 👍 just how i dye my hair too and am glad to see others do the same with success as home dyeing can be pot luck lol

[@emeraldsun8]

Followed your technique a month a ago and it came out great. Tried it again today and it came out even better. Thank you!!!

[@chellefish2649]

This is really, really good! I've always been super scared to do my hair at home but I also don't want to spend a ton of money at a salon. You make it look easy and it turned out SO good!

You are naturally pretty, fun to watch, you don't have some crazy music playing, you aren't doing that- I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world- Look at me... I'm so stupid. There are some I almost dialed 911....what is your emergency, Um, well there is this girl on KZbin and um...I think she is having a seizure. Well, seriously i enjoyed watching and your hair turned out so natural looking. This is down on my bucket list.
