this has vogue 'get ready with me vibes' with the nice bathroom, perf camera angle, and YOUR NATURAL PRESENCE IN FRONT OF A CAMERA WOW SO GOOD

[@RitaaLeci]

Just did this on my hair and it looks amazing!! The only things I did differently were that I used a balayage comb which does the weaving for you and I used the shrine drop it toner drops right after as well as purple shampoo. Can't believe I almost spent £160 in a salon on it!!

[@Lindasaur]

Balayage combs seem so convenient - I'll look into purchasing one! Also, haven't heard of shrine drops before so thank you for the recommendation :)

[@No-nv7hu]

This is exactly how I wanted my hair and the girls at the salon just ruined my hair. I should have done it at home

[@Lindasaur]

I’m sure they did a fine job!! But also not hard to try it out yourself :) Next time!

[@Astrologcomedy]

Same thing happen to me

[@smkewoodz]

@@Lindasaurif the customer did not like the results then its not a good job.

[@heatherwilson3411]

Right? I am sure they charged an arm and a leg too! I went to a salon and asked for the ombre defect and literally when she was done my hair looked the same as when I walked in. My hair is a darker brown. I was so upset! I was charged almost $300 dollars! I got home and was solo upset I decided it wasn't right that I paid THAT MUCH and I am so unhappy with it. So I went online to their website and sent an email. The stylist emailed me back and I got scheduled to come back in to get it redone! Then I was happy. She didn't I guess "understand" what I wanted!?! Like your a hair stylist and you don't know what the ombre is?

[@mairazom]

same this is what I wanted. literally spent 200 dollars for a patchy highlight look when I could have done it better at home

[@lovexdevour0910]

Came here for tutorial, wasn't expecting to see a really cute and pretty girl explaining stuff in such a cheerful manner and the tutorial was awesome too. Like geez you made it look so easy, I'm super new to this whole hair colouring stuff and every aspect of it scares me since I love my hair so much XD

[@Lindasaur]

You’re too kind!! I hope you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!

[@elainebronson9101]

Beautifully edited video and so helpful !!!🤍 girl you have such a cute personality and explain so well!!

[@Lindasaur]

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it :)

[@winnie.the.vvitch]

So the developer part is wrong with it being stated for thin,thick med hair. The volume on developer is how much of a lift you want to achieve. If you have super dark hair and you want a level 10 you're going to use either a 30 or 40, safest being 30 since 40 can develop faster than some people can work on their hair. They can also be mixed with eachother, let's say you have a 40 and a 10 volume at home, if you mix equal parts you achieve a 30.

[@Lindasaur]

Oh so helpful thanks for letting me know! :)

[@marghe830]

Was your starting hair color done on your own with the same tecniques? Anyways, love how It turns out! Thank you for sharing this

[@Lindasaur]

Hi!! Yes - my starting hair color (the existing ombre) was from the same techniques, just from a new months ago. :) I do this ombre / balayage process 2x a year to maintain it!

[@musicislife4505]

Your hair is beautiful! Great job

[@cquvideos3417]

It looks great What type of bleach ( name) n developer do i need to get from the saloon? Or can i order it in line?

[@Nah481]

Volume is not just about the hair coarseness. It's also about the lift time. And when you are using bleach she probably want a little bit longer time before the bleach actually expires. Like with 40 VOL the bleach will expire much faster than with 20 VOL

[@HollyHargreaves]

This was a good tutorial, thanks.

[@aztre]

can i ask what type of haircut do you ask for in the salon? mine is always cut straight i’d love to go for your haircut

[@Lindasaur]

Aww!! I have thin hair, so I asked for hairstyles that add volume. For me, it’s long layers with a U-shaped bottom :)

[@Jibijohn-79]

Definitely doin this tonight ty!! ❤️

[@beautybyt8530]

Wow so good!

[@Potater95]

I should not have watched this lol now I'm gonna do jt. Quarantine boredom brought me here. Was gonna do the colorista kit but I've seen so many bad reviews 😭 wish me luck!

[@Lindasaur]

YOU GOT IT!!

[@soramame7528]

Wait, did you use the toner? I love the result!

[@Lindasaur]

Thank you darling!! I did not use toner this time :)

[@ClaudeS39]

When do you add toner and does it have to sit or can you use it like shampoo? Thanks

[@Lindasaur]

Hi! I recently shared a video on toning the balayage/ombre on my channel - I hope it helps :)

[@geraevabee4091]

It looks very nice ! Great work! Pks tell le how can we make it more ashy ND a bit higher towards the roots

[@Lindasaur]

Thanks!! To make it ashy - use Wella toner - I have a toner tutorial on my channel! For making it higher towards the roots, just move the bleach up to where you like it :)

[@emmafriis3602]

Thank you so much for making this video.🌸 I have wanted to try this out, but I have a question. Do you have to use the toner, or is it something that only shall be used if you think the hair has become too light or brassy?

[@nightrizerr]

You don’t have to, but if you want to get another colour after bleaching you can

[@Lindasaur]

Hi Emma! :) So glad you liked this video Toner is typically used to get rid of "brassiness" - the orange-ish, brassy tone that hair takes on after being bleached or lightened. Toner is used to make the hair "ashy", or more grey- and blonde-toned, so toner is not necessarily used when hair is too light. If you have black / dark brown hair, bleaching it might make it brassy / orange - and toner would make it ashy. If you have light brown / blonde hair, bleaching hair would make it more blonde - and toner would make it more platinum and ashy

[@mtnriffraff68]

Looks beautiful! Nice job!

[@Lindasaur]

Thank you sis :)

[@ibtissazrou9282]

Wow i like the result

[@luisaleija]

The top layer that you took out, did you leave them out of the foil? It looked like all your hair ended up in foils.

[@chrislim7615]

Just wondering,wht's the powdery stuff u mixed in toner?

[@nancyyyxoxo]

Hey! How many times do you bleach your hair? Do you ever go back to rebleach the same sections to make them lighter?

[@Lindasaur]

Hi Nancy! I bleach 1-2x per year :) Great question on rebleaching hair sections - I do rebleach pieces. Once my hair grows longer, I apply this same process again to “move the ombre higher” up my hair, so the previously bleached sections are bleached again. I haven’t found this to be noticably damaging though - I use Olaplex’s no. 6 bond smoother and argan oil after each wash to keep my bleached hair looking healthy

[@The__lily]

Pls dont use a hotel glass for mixing the hair products 😱 🚫 🚫 ⚠️ ⚠️ ⛔️

[@Harley57]

Thanks for the video, I usually have my hair done at salon, but funds are tight & I’m going to try it myself. I’m concerned with the amount of product you used or really the amount you didn’t use😂? Had you used more product would the color have been brighter, maybe blonder? My hair is very dark & my bleached parts are a lot brighter/whiter, which I like. Do I need toner to make it whiter, or use more product, or just leave it on longer? Your color is awesome on you, it’s just not for me, I’m beginning to get some grey & the lighter the highlights, the more the grey blends. Also isn’t this an Ombré? Ombre is dark & goes to light, a balayage is light and goes to dark? Have you ever tried the opposite look? Thanks again for the video.

[@arilibove-goldfarb4717]

Yeah you'll want to let it process longer and might have to repeat this a second time lower down on the hair if you want to go from dark to very blonde

[@Julia-sp2kt]

You have the most gorgeous aura!🥰🥰

[@Lindasaur]

Omg gal, that’s so sweet. Thank you for the kind message!! :)

[@Ttranqui1ity]

It's the first time I ever doing anything to my hair I have dark brown hair should I be using t11 as the toner?

[@Lindasaur]

Depends on the tone you want - Wella has a color chart online to help you decide what toner to use, based on the final tone you want to achieve :)

[@SinginTheDream]

Hi! I have a question -- the top layer over trick would only work if you've previously bleached your hair, right? For unbleached hair, would you recommend i do the top layer (saturated at the bottom and a little blended at the top) or would that look weird? Sorry I'm a newbie lol

[@Lindasaur]

That's a good question :) I think it depends on how you want it to look - for unbleached hair, yes I would do the top layer too! Just as you described!

[@samgoswami9051]

Loved the video!! Thank you sooooo much!!!

[@Lindasaur]

I’m glad you enjoyed it Sam :)

[@neha_phookan]

Here I am trying to ombre my hair

[@Lindasaur]

How'd it go!! :)

[@priyankas8421]

you’re just so cute & adorable 🧸💗

[@Lindasaur]

Thank you Priyanka that’s so sweet of you haha

[@greenbottle2800]

Omg! Thank you for the video...🤩🤩

[@Lindasaur]

Of course I hope it was helpful!!

[@khushilangia86]

How fif you style your hair? After you blowdried? 😍 please make a vid on thT!

[@Lindasaur]

Khushi I curled it with a curling iron - loose curls :) I'm no pro - I'm sure there are tons of videos online for this!

[@SimIndia]

Very helpful. Thanks thanks thanks🌹

[@Lindasaur]

So happy to hear!!

[@juliag3351]

when you use toner, do you just use the rest of developer with it? or did you need to buy moree?

[@Lindasaur]

Hey!! Toner and developer should be a 1:1 ratio - toner bottles are super small (like the size of a shot glass) so pretty little developer is needed :)

[@amystickler7451]

Do NOT use 30 volume with toner.

[@Jo.1977]

Very nice😊

[@reneenorris9067]

Love this, so helpful. Thx

[@Lindasaur]

So glad to hear!!! Hope you try it out :)

[@esthersathiamurthi5328]

But what if I wanna add color to this how do I do it

[@soniarodriguez6577]

Toner for the dyed part would tone out the orange and make it 👀🍬🍭👌, otherwise looks pretty good. Good job 👍

[@sonajolly8246]

Wow...awesome😍😍😍

[@Lindasaur]

Glad you liked it and found it helpful!!

[@sonajolly8246]

♥️♥️

[@booknerd7339]

If i wanted to make the ombre an unnatural color, could I just add the dye after bleaching it like this? Like, would the color be am ombre too or would it all just be one shade?

[@vanshikaatrevadia2093]

Saturation of dye but ya if base is else bleached the colour output will be less hence your original colour will be dominant

[@cess5614]

Oh god! I wish I’ve seen this vid before I went to the hair salon yesterday. I paid $360 for balayage that took 4 hours and I barely see the highlights! Even though I showed them the picture of how I wanted my hair. What a waste!

[@nasrinbano1868]

This vid is perfect the only thing that wouldve helped me more was if your hair was all black and not pre lighted

[@alessandravilanova512]

Thank u!

[@Lindasaur]

Of course!! Hope you found it useful :)

[@AnnieGogoi]

Nice

[@kimkhanhnguyen177]

So when you apply the toner. I really wanna try it the result look so nice

[@Lindasaur]

I’ll make a follow-up video on how to apply toner! You would apply the toner after the entire balayage/ombre process. Basically, to use toner: 1. Dampen /wet your hair 2. Mix toner with developer. Follow the directions on the toner bottle to do that. It’s usually 1 part toner, 1 part developer. 3. Apply to all hair, making sure to saturate the hair. 4. Leave toner on for 10-30minutes, depending on how the hair color changes to your liking. 5. Wash off, shampoo and condition :)

[@kimkhanhnguyen177]

You look pretty and you are so friendly. Thank you so much for sharing

[@Lindasaur]

You’re so nice thank you!! Feel free to ask any questions :)

[@hdzreal]

I have a question, would I be able to do the process with color?

[@Lindasaur]

Hm... I’m not sure actually! Usually, hair stylists use bleach to lighten hair, because bleach “removes” color pigment from hair. Dyeing hair with color dye “adds” or deposits color to the hair. You could try out the process with color dye, but bleaching would more permanently lighten hair. I hope this helps!!

[@joshravenway6875]

Ik this comment is from like a year ago but im about to do this to my hair woth bleach and THEN add dye right on top of it. I'll edit this in a few hours to let ya know how it turned out XD

[@Lindasaur]

You’re so brave - keep us updated!!

[@kristieoneill4409]

There is like no bleach on your hair how does this work and it’s 1 part toner 2 parts developer

[@myriamlm272]

Y are so beautiful 😍 subscribed

[@Lindasaur]

Youre so kind, thank you!

[@cassywilson5067]

wait did you tone it?

[@Lindasaur]

I did not tone it after this specific recorded hair session, but I usually do tone it every 6 months. My latest video is a “how to tone your hair” video :)

[@one_two_three_]

Beautiful🌹🌹🌹

[@Lindasaur]

Thank you - glad you liked the video!

[@MsEm0903]

Did you end up not using the T18 toner?

[@Lindasaur]

I did not - uploading a video in the next week or so on how to use it though! I tone it every once in a while, depending on need :)

[@vidianaramadani2456]

That's sweet

[@rart1111]

You look like Julia Stiles ❤

[@Kris-j3p]

Although your hair turned out fine and pretty btw, this is NOT BALAYAGE technique … you are not free form painting - you are doing a basic foil on ends - Also a professional Ombre is not going from dark to light fade its creating a base color up top - learn how light client wants at the ends and then you do what needs to done to have colors or tones that shade into each other …. Licensed hair stylist for over 20 years… Hope this is received with love and respect .. I just would want someone else thinking the is an accurate Balayage. Glad to see so many taking charge over their own hair may not be good for my industry lol but you guys are so cool willing to take challenges on yourself and make it your OWN ….

[@nouray9002]

I like your video and everything but the music in the background was so annoying.. KEEP GOING GIRL 😍

[@Lindasaur]

Lol yeah it was my first youtube video so I totally did not do the audio correctly… haha thanks :)

[@Gothpimpbitcxh]

Recommend not to use a blow dryer.. it will kill your hair faster

[@Abel_Makkonen_Tesfaye-0]

WOAH the Hair is 2 Colors

[@Nah481]

You're scaring me, mixing bleach and developer 😂

[@rosemariecleeve3340]

Sections are way too thick!

[@elizabethromero8630]

I should of have seen your video before going my hair .. now i look like a zebra 😖

[@magicfonda2350]

Do you call this hair color technique, for sure it's a mess
