Hi James, after doing a full head bleach on my head for the past few years I decided to grow the roots out and do a reversed balyage for a more maintainable look. THANK YOU for this video, the combing technique is so simple and so effective, I am in no way a professional but after endless hours of scrolling through root melts on youtube, Im so happy I found yours!! explained so well and easy to follow- a talent in both hair and teaching!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Superb holly so pleased the technique was easy to follow and you got the result you were looking for thank you for your comment 😁✌🏻

[@stephnicole3078]

Hi there! I know the comment is old but I’m dealing with this exact situation as you and was just curious what kind of product you used to transition between your hair and roots. Shades EQ is a liquid so I wasn’t sure if cream based color would work with this technique.

[@jengaamy751]

I just found this video after 4 hours of looking up root smudges but I realised that's not I want, I want to do a reverse balayage.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. It drastically corrected my awful, chunky highlights into a beautifully balayaged hair. I couldn’t get an appointment for 2 another weeks and I wasn’t going back to the place where they messed up my hair in the first place. I felt helpless. After watching countless KZbin videos, I luckily came across your video. Equipped with a sense of courage from “how much worse could it possibly get?” I grabbed two boxed hair dyes and followed your video. I LOVE the result. Your explanation is amazing; so easy to understand and follow. Thank you!

This tutorial saved my hair. Thank you so much I had a neutral level 6 on my hair that was very very flat. But thanks to you advise I could save it. And it turned out fantastic. It looks like my natural hair with great depth. You literally saved my hair and my mental health. Thank you so so much.

[@kimberlycalderon234]

So I am not an expert but I've been doing my own hair for years and I wanted to do this to my own hair since my roots were coming and there was a horrendous demarcation line from when I lightened my hair. I knew I wanted to blend my roots to my light ends and I didnt know how. I bought the Ion ammonia-free dark chestnut and a light mushroom blonde which is basically what I had in my hair from before on my ends and my natural hair color is a very dark brown.. I followed your steps and my hair came out better than I had hoped. Your steps were so easy to me and made total sense. I was able to blend the dark chestnut to the mushroom blonde and leave some of the lightness from before. My hair is curly so my curls pop. Just wanted to say that my hair came out great because of you! Thank you for the great video!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful that is fantastic thank you for letting me know I’m so pleased your hair turned out well

This tutorial is just what I was looking for! I went a little too high with the bleach for a balayage and I was wonder how, or if we could, stretch the roots without bleaching anymore, you answered all my questions! Thank you so much! 💕

[@cherylbglover]

Wow. This was a perfect video. I JUST did my daughters hair this morning and used your technique. The outcome was the best its ever looked. She is 15 years old and I refuse to let her permanently change her hair color, the compromise is I use demi color when she wants to change her root color to blend with her natural light blonde hair. I am not a hairdresser, but I do a lot of hair for friends, color and blends always came naturally to me. Never have I cut, thats someone's job

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful so pleased it worked out well for you and I’m glad that your daughters hair has turned out nicely

[@karmicdreamer]

Thank you so much for this video!! I haven’t seen one that goes into this much detail with root stretching anywhere. Definitely gave me some “aha” moments as to why I’ve had some of the problems I’ve had. I pay monthly for quite a few educational subscriptions now but I would love to be able to support your journey to your digital program. I learn so much real salon life from you already for free here on you tube that I think it’s time to re-budget my education expenses lol . Thank you again for all your hard work and time ☺️

I WISH there was such thing as an online cosmetology school?! I started going to school somewhere near where I live and had to stop going due to an issue at the school regarding hours (long story!) two months in and I had to stop…Right after I had found day care for my young daughter!! If I was 20 then whatever I just go in 10 years but I’m 40!! Finally was able to go after wanting to for almost my entire adult life and it sucks!! We hadn’t done coloring yet while I was in school but I used to watch your videos all the time for cutting techniques!!!! You were easier to understand and I swear I learned A LOT from YOU not my school😂 If that school ever opens sign me up!! How has NO ONE done that yet?? 😢 Seriously…Thank you!

[@christieees]

Omg. Thank you. Thank you! Your technique really works! I remembered using a comb to try and blend but I did not tilt the comb back like you did and it did not work. They way you did and explained everything so well. So I already had highlights but slightly messed up some areas at the root section and tried your technique using a medium brown hair dye (combed 2x since I’m doing it on myself) for my roots and it worked!!! I did not need to use a light toner at all for the bottom part. So we’ll blended in and I love it! I feel like a pro now. 🤗 You saved my hair just when I needed it.

Hi James. Thank you so much for all your hard work in making these educational videos and for sharing your tested techniques with us. Watching your videos are so inspirational because they're easy to follow and to understand. I've been out of a salon environment for 20 or more years, but I still do family and friends. I now feel I've lost all my confidence doing hair because I'm not doing it everyday and my skills are rusty. I miss doing hair but my mental health got the better of me working so up and close with people.

@@TheLifeOfHair Thaaaaanks a lot for answering with such kindness. I highlifted it yesterday with a 30vol. and Wella Lightener Brown Blond.

But however, I am thinking more and more about bleaching. Nonetheless, my hair is curly just as beautifully as yours and bleaching them breaks my heart, they would look and feel as a broom brush afterwards...

Going to try this tomorrow :) ordered Wella 9/97 and 8/71. First a test strand

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Superb hope it goes well for you

[@Thepolished_nails]

@@TheLifeOfHair and 7/97. The blending was só easy to do and came out amazing! No hard lines. Fades perfectly from darker to light. (First time ever bleaching and dying). Thank you so much! I do want to go lighter (level 10) but after bleaching 2 times i want to wait a couple of months. All try this method again then!

Watching and hearing your video's bring me the same relaxational feeling as watching BOB Ross (the painter). I love it! 😄🥰

Hello james i am big fan of the way you teach and all your videos are an inspiration . I have been confused with one issue which is (Should the hairs be toned whilr they are towel dried ( slightly wet) or fully dried) Because lots of time if the toning/depositing is done on 100% dry hairs ,it creates a lot of depth in the hairs. Looking forward for your expertise over this issue 🙂

Hi thank you for your question I actually made a video all about this so instead of me leaving incredibly long winded comment on here why don’t you give the video a Watch and if you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to leave a comment and I’ll do my best to get back to you 👍🏻kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3LfGeparh1hsU

That is so lovely to hear Lisa thank you so much for letting me know maybe see you over on Patreon soon 😁👍🏻

[@georgiaburgess210]

Hi, If your client is happy with the blonde on the ends already would you just use a clear on the ends to smudge into the darker root colour or just not put anything on the ends?x

[@izahgallagher4967]

This helped me with one of my clients so much!! Thank you!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Oh that is wonderful to hear glad it was of some use to you

[@athenademetriou148]

Came here after searching how to do a root ombre into my bright red hair as I don't like how red it is all over, now leaving feeling like a pro thanks to you 🤣❤️

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful Anthea so pleased that you found what you’re looking for and you feel confident to do the job now

[@athenademetriou148]

@@TheLifeOfHair I actually managed to do it but can't show a pic on KZbin. But thank you, I followed all your tips and it worked 🥰

[@saraidcanelo753]

Guuuuaaaoooo, quedé impactada con el resultado, en mi opinión has superado a muchos Peluqueros(as) y Estilistas, en todos los tutoriales que he visto hasta el día de hoy. Me fascina todas las marchas en tendencia. Gracias desde Venezuela, ah excelente que fue traducido. 😊

I really love this, you are the best teacher

Thank you Susie

I forgot to mention the video you did the other week regarding the full head bleach and scalp irritation, was great viewing. These scenarios are real salon life! I have an old Redken book from the 80s that suggests putting condensed milk on the scalp before applying bleach application, to stop it burning the scalp. Back in the day, the salon I worked in they'd use powder bleach and 40vol on the scalp to achieve platinum blonde. I shudder now! Low and slow is much better for the hair integrity and the health of the scalp.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you Sean very kind mate, condensed milk K I’ve heard of milk before I’ve never tried any of these things to be honest I don’t encounter enough to generally think about it once in a blue moon and I do at all costs avoid 40 V on the scalp and I’m mixing ratio of anything less than 2 to 1 generally By following those rules I don’t have any problem 😁👍🏻

[@saranietoisaza8483]

Thanks for sharing this with us, you’re an amazing teacher 🥰🥰

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you very much very kind of you 😁👍🏻

[@landahowell]

Loved this video, thank you for sharing. You by far are the best at explaining what you do, which is very helpful.

[@CA-lf7jt]

I’d assume for more than 50% gray I’d use permanent for roots, dry, then do this entire technique?

[@misscoleus2545]

I really like watching your channel. You are very detailed in all your work..,a good educator indeed. I've learnt a lot from you. Yes, I love watching every minute of it.

Oh my god, thank you so much for this. It’s educated me so much. I was dreading my client tomorrow. I’m now excited to to use your technique. Your awesome!! Thanks again! I can’t wait to watch all your other videos to expand my knowledge. X

Wonderful Jon glad you appreciated the simple straightforward approach I always try and keep things as clear and transparent as possible 😁👍🏻

Sad I can't share pictures of my before and after. I felt like a whole new woman. Now I'm doing it again 8 weeks later as the first root colour has lightened. I'm excited because this video really does help
