I am impressed with your talent. I have been in the business for 35 years. You are delightful! I enjoy the music. It keeps me focused. The other upbeat music distracts me. But I am 53 years old ! Thanks for the great technique!

[@lienh3997]

Lexi, yet another great and to the point video! You inspired me to actually go buy a paint brush for hair painting and what a difference it makes in blending! Home Depot had a few and they're dirt cheap! Keep those videos coming!

[@w0ntonsarah]

Beautiful color! I just love balayage! I use those same foils and I like them but the box is so annoying! They don't always pops out and then you have to dig the get them out again. I see you must have that problem too because you ripped the box like I do! 😂

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Sarah Koeppel yeah it's annoying with just the box but I do like the foils themselves.

[@liezabathiu1582]

[@MikeBArtistry]

[@suonghuynh6981]

♥️♥️

[@bodyjewels]

Hi Lexus. Love this. I think I can actually do this my self..1.could not understand the toner please let me know..2. what is the best way to comb this out after..my hair is about this color with some hiighlites..but my roots 75& white. what is the best to cover gray for a natural med blonde. I do like ash on me at all. xxxxooooooo

[@emilyadams2424]

I saw you were using matrix lightener and redken ph bonder. Just curious you can use Redken ph bonder with any lightener?

[@vienna15]

Emily Adams I feel like u could? I mean u can mix in oleplex or Brazilian bonder with any type of light we. Maybe it’s just the brand

[@dianestokes1761]

Hi I am intrigued by the use the surface hydrating oil in the lightener. Have you done the product review that you mentioned in another video yet please

[@savannahevans8980]

Please do a tutorial on those bangs!!!! I'm obsessed!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Savannah Evans oh for sure!

[@sashiez1]

Hi, thanks for the quick and easy video.Can I do this process on natural dark brown hair? How long should I leave the bleach in for and what toner would you suggest considering I want to avoid any red/ copper or orange tones? Thank you x

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+sashiez1 you can totally do this on darker brown hair. Just watch the bleach and don’t lift it to over process it. Then depending on what tone it’s at use a owner with an opposite color (red and green, orange and blue)

[@alliarella8474]

Hi mam.how to aply the tone if the color result is they have a red.in orange..can i put oxygen.tnx in advance for the reply..mam

[@bodyjewels]

love this quick and easy what products do you use can you explain please also the exact owner did you put it all over the head or did you just use it on the parts you highlighted

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Cynthia Lopresti all the products I used are pictured at the beginning of the video. I'm not sure what you mean though by the exact order.

[@keepthinking6928]

Lexi Dawn I think she was trying to say toner and the correct put automatically owner

[@yessicamunoz7004]

Do you have a tutorial where you do base color and balayage at the same time?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Yessica Munoz yes I do!

[@alliarella8474]

Mam.can you teach how to do.the balyage at same time with basic color.tnx a lot

[@TheFlutterflies]

Just go through with a semipermanent tonal gloss. Like a 7n, and than throw the toner on the ends.

[@ariannyrivas9807]

Hi Lexi! I really love your tutorials, thanx for sharing!! Did you use a toner? Can I get a perfect blonde only using purple shampoo even if the client hair is dark brown? Or do I need to tone?

[@keepthinking6928]

Arianny Perfect blonde with no toner in really dark hair not gonna happen ever 😕

[@estelamarisem1minuto808]

Hey darling , how you doing ? Can you show us what kind of products or toners do you use. I love so much your technique, but I have so many questions about how to use, for beige, or super platinum or just a little bit brow. Do you mix brands, or follow straight way once If is possible I would like to know more about it. 😜

[@k8marlowe]

The brush is a standard “chip” brush. You can get them at Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc. too. They work really well, and make the whole technique go much faster. ☺️

[@giabrehm4303]

You are the best!

[@giabrehm4303]

Lovely!

[@SatoyaFoster]

Love this color! It compliments the cut so well! Did you do the cut too?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Satoya Foster yes I did!

[@jelenabg86]

maybe you can include styling sometimes ;)

[@parotlogo3502]

jelenabg86 yes that can be true

[@parotlogo3502]

[@gitanjalimehra1291]

Gud job...grt result...was just wondering how you dealt with the backcombed hair...I mean detangling it..

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Gitanjali Mehra in my Q and A video I explain how I brush it out!

[@carliebeau5329]

Love it

[@joannebaik2854]

Super nice high light!👍👍

[@devonstone9980]

Great video with beautiful results!! I have to say though, please wear gloves when using chemicals!!!!! Chemical burns hurt!!!!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

i do with bleach but with toners i don't find that i need to

[@urhairstylist18]

Some people are just that good they don’t get it on their hands when they are foiling. Also it’s going on somebody’s scalp for the love of.....there’s no rules to hair, work how it’s best for you. ♥️

[@johnpadden5425]

Great!

[@sofiamonsederivas4466]

I LOVE your vídeos

[@jkonthank]

Any tips on getting the tease out at the shampoo bowl? Thanks Lexi! I love your videos!

[@marlabrown1753]

Simple and easy thank you so much

[@cheysicamacho1578]

Hiiii! What did you use to record this video! Love it!

[@yacquelinehellwig1398]

Beautiful end result. Nice technic!

[@dianeharrison4975]

Had this done today i had no idea the comb out would so painful,,is it normal? The knots are crazy

[@susannefengler5228]

Hi Lexi. I'm new to this style. Please explain why you teased the hair first. ....and no gloves with this chemical? Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to give this a try.

[@LexiDawnMcc]

teasing gives you incredible blend from root to ends. i did use gloves because i wasn't actually touching the bleach with my hands

[@thehopechase]

How on earth do u get those teasing knots out tho?!?! I’ve seen videos on this technique a lot but NOBODY addresses the knot issue with the teasing...??? Esp on textured hair..?!?!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

I wouldn't tease if my client had textured hair I only tease if I know it will brush out easily. What I do is i rinse all the lightener out and get the tease wet. Then I put the step 2 for the redken ph bonder on all over. Then I take a wet brush and section by section I slowly brush out the tease. It usually takes only about 10min to get it all out.

[@WavyMaxy313]

Nicely done! Were you using a GoPro camera on your head?

[@rocknchick4nayeli]

so nice!

[@candysaucedo4199]

Great Job!!!!!

[@cmills53]

Will you do baby lights on dark hair? Love your vlogs!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

yeah!

[@giabrehm4303]

Perfect!!

[@rodneyfehr9329]

Hi! Would this technique work on very long hair too? My hair is hip length and I got it done at a salon and it looks like an ombre with strange streaks at the top, I don't think they know what balayage is

[@Zzz...1997]

Did you leave certain hair pieces out or you did every piece? Also would using wella toners make a difference?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

Hi! This was many years ago so I wouldn’t be able to tell you exactly what I did cause I don’t remember. And unfortunately I’ve never used wella so I wouldn’t be able to give you a good answer for that.

[@maura.selejan]

My mom is using matrix too

[@mikitamac16]

It's easy because she already had light color

[@belindac1040]

Beautiful! Can you share pricing info?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Belinda Cordi yeah I'm going to be filming a pricing and business video soon I think.

[@belindac1040]

Ok great! I want to try doing balayage highlights at my salon but don't know how much to charge.

[@gabitrandafir8396]

What about the fringe area? Did you do anything there?

[@glittaboi]

Great video, do you ever show how you take out the backcombing? x

[@Voidmaster560]

Can someone please tell me y u tease the hair?????

[@cinthyagonzalez6589]

Me encanta.. Nueva suscriptora 😘🙅

[@macaronblanc9522]

why not just painting free Hand certain sections without the foil? would be even easier and same result

[@ericagarza1500]

👌

[@MostlyBeauty]

Thank you for sharing your techniques! I'm a future professional at Paul Mitchell the school Houston

[@Sunamith7]

Why do you need to do the tizzing? I just had balayage ,and it was the most horrible experience just because of that tizzing.When they washed my hair they combed it so she can get rid of the tizzing,...horrible.My hair was all damaged in the end and broken!

[@silverstargirl20]

Sunamith same here. Just due to this teasing I had a worst hair fall during this whole process. Now I m regretting my decision. Will never get this done again in my life ever.

[@sypha0014]

Hi, can you tell me what the backcombing does? I know the end result is gorgeous but I just wanted to know what it is that the backcombing does specifically?

[@ashleywyatt7114]

It separates the hair more so it blends easier. Makes it less likely for you to end up with a blunt line where the colors transition.

[@ashleywyatt7114]

Its separates the hair more so it blends easier. Makes it less likely to end up with a blunt line where the hair colors meet.

[@jenniferjahns4006]

how do you decide when you're going to tease the base and when not to?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Jennifer Jahns good question. Usually when I tease I don't want to have the lightener go too high up on the head. When I paint I usually want the lightener to go all the way up or close to the top of the head.

[@cristinasanchez1718]

what toner did u use? n what kind of developer and for how long?

[@msgranados22able]

Cres Sanchez she said shades EQ 9Nb with a drop of 9b

[@lizzetcastro73]

I’m new here and I being loving your videos thank you so much ,

[@LexiDawnMcc]

welcome! so glad you're here!

[@dianeharrison4975]

How can anyone stand the pain?

[@noellenilsson3853]

This hurts when you need to coumb it out! I had pain for two hole days in my head.

[@jeneiraalicea5060]

why do you tease the hair before starting to paint

[@marielolmos8547]

Sos una genia !!

[@Keonahawk24]

How does the hair not tangle when you back comb and then shampoo?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

Her hair combs out so easy that I didn't really need to detangle it it just kinda did it on its own. I usually brush out the tease with conditioner before shampooing.

[@sabrinanovak6697]

Going to be hell brushing that out . Make sure your teases are neat and not supper tight .

[@bodyjewels]

Hi Lexie. Quick ?? How long to wait after to being can I re.bleach again.

[@LexiDawnMcc]

that all depends on how healthy your hair is

[@bodyjewels]

Lexi Dawn not bad no bleach 6 months. Just toner.

[@marondagiles1608]

what's a easy process for combing the teased hair out

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Maronda Giles i just put conditioner on it and use a wet brush
