QUICK & EASY ROOT TOUCH UP PART 1| How to Highlight Hair at Home

[@tuf2beme1]

I owe you Big time. Thank You SO much. Trying to get over a health problem and looked horrible. Stylist ghosted me. My hair looks AMAZING and I feel better! About 7 more weeks and I should be out n about. Thank You. ❤️

[@claygirl8]

Wow!!! Absolutely Gorgeous! You are stunning and you have the exact haircolor I want! Great video- Thank you! I just spent $200 at a salon for THE WORST highlight job I've ever had in my life. I swear the girl must've used hand lotion from the dollar store instead of developer on me because even though she spent 3 and half hours on my "Highlights", I left with the same dark hair on top and extremely grey-green tone everywhere else! Ugghhhhhhhh!!! Forget it! I'm doing this myself! Hope I can order the same toner off Amazon! I just subscribed and am going to drink my face off and binge-watch the rest of your videos all night because I'm sick of looking at this mess in the mirror and crying! Thank you again! I'm pretty sure I've watched at least 80 hours of youtube videos on how to fix this- and yours is the best by far! Screw Elle Bangs! You Rock! :)

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

claygirl8 oh no!!! I hope you were able to get it fixed I know exactly how you’re feeling, I’ve had some botched hair do’s in my day 😣. So sorry for the late reply, I’ve sort of been MIA since having my baby but getting back into it again. Thanks so much for the love very much appreciate it ❤️

[@eliciacastrejon4523]

This should have more views. The other videos I watched were shit

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Elicia Castrejon glad you liked my vid ☺️

[@SK-gs8vs]

I agree. I was going them and I was like, this is ridiculous! They show nothing I can use. Watching this I knew pretty quick she knew what she was doing. It's great!

[@jodileigh571]

I've watched slot of highlight vids. This one is the best.

[@mulliganstew72]

Jodi Cherry agree!

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Agree! I watch this and the how to tackle the back every time I do my hair to refresh my brain

[@Victoria-uh7dy]

wow..... looks better than a salon job!!!!

[@brandijo7335]

I’m excited for my product to come and utilize what I’ve learned. I’m tired of salons not listening to me

[@elizabethr4787]

Looks great. As soon as you said "I am a professional cosmetologist," I new this was above my pay grade to reproduce. 😊 Just sat back and enjoyed the ride

[@luaneketcherd7996]

Thank you so much! I’m so done with hair salons! Tried 4 different hairdressers (all with great reviews) and they don’t get it right, at the root is brassy, ends to bright, babylights patchy, it’s not worth it to spend the 💰 for 💩 job no more! I’m going to tackle it myself. Now I have to learn how to wave the hair haha

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Aw sorry about your past luck but if you start with this small application of doing a money piece in the bangs you should be good to go and then you can work your way up from there. Good luck ☺️

[@Tori112103]

Thank you!!! I am a non-practicing trained cosmetologist and you really helped jog my memory because I do my own hair. It’s really hard finding a stylist that knows your hair.

[@charlenegagliardi9979]

I'm going to try this tonight. This is my fav at home touch up video by far! X

[@heatherhowe351]

Great instructral video . The twp parts I find the hardest is doing the back yourself (obvs) and judging when it's lightened enough to rinse off - its so tricky eve when you think it's pale enough you rinse then realise you should have left it another few minutes. A video about either of these would be great.

[@gwendolyngonzales4632]

Hi! Your video is very clear and easy to follow with no sensationalism. Thanks! I have a question. I've been a labor and delivery nurse for the last fifteen years, but I was a hairdresser at a busy salon cooperation in Houston throughout the eighties. I did color for the first few years, but then we departmentalized and I was more of a hair-cutter/ finisher so that's where I settled. I've been coloring my own hair red for longer than I can remember. At this time I have a ton of grey hair and I would like to start transitioning to grey. Do you think I could use the foil technique with my color to let the grey slowly filter in? I thought if I just do the top section like you were doing it will just fall over everything else. The lower parts of my hair don't have as much grey anyway. I would love to hear your opinion! Thanks

[@danielleakines593]

I do hair too I was so nervous of doing my own highlights thank you so much!!! You were great!!!

[@amyk8488]

I do my hair all the time. Never took a class. Just do it. Most likely if you mess up you would know how to fx it. Also people dont notice mistakes as much as we do and all hair looks like grown out highlights right now so if you mess up it will be totally in style. Lol

[@amyk8488]

I might do the new tease technique probably so easy and will look awesome. I just need a mirror for back of my head for this one

[@brittneyg9971]

This is probably the best highlighting video I've seen! Doing this today!

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Sweet!!! Tag me on Instagram if you post a pic I’d love to see!!!

[@lisadahlgren2711]

Great tutorial - really helped! Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@Karenpadams81]

Wow it look absolutely amazing at the end I had highlights done at the hair salon and my roots are still dark wish they made my roots lighter

[@marijaivanovska3206]

Wooow I love how you explain everything, will try this . Thank you !

[@suzannestraughan4512]

I know I’ve heard your name before but scrolling through looking for new ideas your face popped up and it looks super familiar maybe I saw some videos or something in beauty school! I only pop in and out of the beauty field because I’m mainly working in the restaurant industry as a chef when I can and now I’m cutting my friends hair for free and try to get them some fun ideas to carry them through until their own stylists are back behind their chairs. Great explanations for the budget conscious (a.k.a. people that don’t want to pay for the years of training that keep us off of the Hair Fails circuit!😎)

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Suzanne Straughan oh really well that’s cool!! That’s super nice of you to do so many people missing their hairstylists right now ❤️

[@lotaleg]

Can you link the exact products you use for this? I'm trying to search for them based on the video description, but am not sure Im finding the right products.

[@khangbradley2672]

That’s a gorgeous finish!! 😱😱😱

[@belledel4777]

Whoa you made the whole process look so easy. I want to try it too, and I am not a professional hairdresser, but I feel if I do exactly what you did, I should be able to get the same results. Maybe.. LOL

[@ceciliagarza21]

Great video!♥️ Is there a dupe at Sally’s that we can get for the toner you used?🙂

[@BrookieMonster1313]

Beautiful!!! Beautiful lift and I may just have to try that toner!

[@JaydeHardesty]

Work so well! Thank you!

[@stellairis]

Could you use the exact same technique but taking it further back so you pretty much cover the whole parting that shows?

[@belilo8885]

Please do a video on how you do your eyebrows! 🥰😍

[@christan6943]

Could you link the Matrix lightener that you used and what ratio. Thank you so much! Looks beautiful

[@ArtLeeG]

I love this look! Did you do mostly the top layers of your hair and not the underneath?

[@xxcarlaflatearther]

Can you use this method on dark brown hair? My roots come through really dark and I would love to have natural colour roots like yours it looks absolutely stunning 😍🥰

[@SK-gs8vs]

Great video thank you! One question... the foil.. is that regular aluminum foil like out of your kitchen pantry?

[@zinniazinnia2145]

Thanks for demo. you make it look so easy but I find the most difficult part is weaving and separating hair. Also, a mirror to be able to see where the highlight colour is going without touching the scalp is proving extremely difficult. How do you view the top of your head?!

[@ynaartsasyouliveandbreathe3533]

use a taller mirror or an overhead arm lamp with cold light. I use a normal desk mirror that I just elevate using a tissue box or any other item around the house. Happy highlighting.

[@EdieSexwitch]

I see what I did wrong now. I went too far up with the bleach. This is really helpful, thanks. I’m subbing before you get to 100k so I can say I knew about her before she was famous.😊

[@NicciTheAlien]

I can smell this video. 💚

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Dom The Alien hahaha this is the best!!

[@PeaceBang]

My hair takes forever to lift, too. Great vid, thanks!

[@ladyp3128]

You are so pretty. I love the video. As you can tell from my picture I'm a very colorful person when it comes to my hair LOL I would like to know what color toner should I use to keep my blue hair from turning green

[@babycakes8434]

You look gorgeous in this color😍

[@jessicashirtliff8672]

Love the video! I'm wondering can I do this without scooping out highlights? My roots are a little longer almost to the point where if its a slightly different color it would look ombre' , my hair is fine & lifts very easily. Would that be okay or a disaster? And can you do the same thing on the sides & back?

[@vickyzhang8914]

Thank you so much!! Nice video! So you just highlighted the upper front part instead of whole hair?

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Vicky Zhang yes it creates sort of an ombré from front to back look.

[@gummygumzyumz]

@@JamiSwanBeauty hi! I am so confused, why did you use toner on the roots you did not highlight? Could you please clarify? Thanks :)

[@wendy8561]

Love this hair cut ,please tell how it's cut so I can tell my stylist 🛑🛑

[@Izzywizzy74]

Your hair color is gorgeous...... mine has ended up orangey grrrrr but my natural roots are a lot darker than yours, you are dirty blonde by looks of it...so im wondering if i should get brown and put hilite cap on pull some brown thru???

[@ashleyr9042]

So is this basically another option instead of bleaching entire roots of hair? So this way is less damaging because your only doing some of the hair but not all of it

[@lisajswan]

Pretty outcome. Thanks!

[@heathergreen6394]

Do u have a video of you doing your amazing makeup

[@jenf777]

Awesome video, thank you! Could you please do a video on how you did your blow out and style like you have at the end here? It looks great!!!

[@brendaaverill611]

Wow!! This Looks sooo nice on you!! You explained this so well !!❤

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Thanks!!

[@laurastroder4423]

Thank you for all the beauty at home videos!!!!

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Oh you’re welcome thanks for Checkin em out!❤️

[@evamiko6825]

Super, it turns really good, thank you so much for sharing 💜

[@ProudShipperVII]

How close do you get the bleach to the already lightened hair without overlapping? Or also, how do you not get the bleach too far away from the already lightened hair and cause banding?

[@marissa9175]

Wow, very professional

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Thanks

[@nothinhere1535]

Is the texture of professional lightener thicker than the the ones available to the public? The ones I bought are too slippery to keep the foils in place.

[@candacethompson7235]

That is so fun for everyday

[@ilahmache]

Very well explained thank you soooo much!!!!

[@hegeliwi]

You're so beautiful! 😍 Thanks for the tutorial!

[@danikahsmith1924]

I've never seen your channel before but this looks great. Do some more hair videos for us new subbers and btw your makeup is on fleek!! 😍😍😍

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

ilovebeing amommy thank you!!! Will do glad you enjoyed this vid.

[@icequeen491]

Beautiful and effortlessly done....And you so stunning btw.

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Katia Slater thank you ❤️

[@honeyb162]

Can I continue on the sides if I have no highlights at all? Do you recommend this for someone that is sort of handy with diy or could it become a total disaster?

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

honeyb162 yes I do my sides too when they get too grown out. Just section from the top of the ear and up and highlight within that section. You can section foils on an angle on the sides. If you know the basics of coloring hair ie. toning, volumes of developer and levels of hair colors then it’s suuuuper easy.

[@honeyb162]

Thanks for the advice Jami Swan Beauty. You did a great job on yours and you make it look really easy, but I know that requires some skill.

[@MelPub1]

I Really love the blond color you have ! My blond is not even there, more of an gold blond ! What should i do ? Bleach some lowlight ?

[@monyoniascott4300]

Awesome … could I do this same technique to add lowlights too? Seems simple enough and if I feather them in towards top they’ll be no harsh line right? Bc looking at the hair that u pulled at beginning to lighten when it lays again it’ll spread over the crown evenly right? Or am I way off lol? Thanks for any advice ima look they and see if u have a lowlights tutorial now also. 🥰💞

[@smct6324]

Going to try this now. Thanks for the tips on applying toner :)

[@alexharshman7025]

Long ago a girl straightened my hair quite often, she sectioned it 5 or 6 times and knocked it out in 10 minutes. I do it in 2 sections and takes me 6 minutes to get the first layer started. You knocked out a section in 14 seconds.

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Alex Harshman hahaha

[@saimkhawaja513]

Ur hair look amazing wat hair dye u use?

[@juliarosenthal1386]

What Toner so you used! It is great!

[@maggieshawver317]

This is SO CUTE. Can I ask: which specific Matrix Lightener do you use? I see they have a big range. Is it the Lightmaster Up to 8 Levels? In the blue container?

[@TheBandoury]

Great video! thanks for sharing. When I apply the color (which is dark brown) I only touch the new roots, the problem is when I wash it, it bleed into the rest of my hair, it ruins my new highlights and make them darker and greenish. It has been a huge stress for me and my hair having to highlight it often to keep the highlights bright. Any tips.?

[@mulliganstew72]

TheBandoury same here!!! I would love advice on how to avoid this. I tried coating it in olive oil & coconut oil, both separately and together and still got color bleed on my blonde highlights. This prompts me to go in with dish soap & a heavy hitting clarifying shampoo in attempt to remove it. Lol no good, no good!

[@TheBandoury]

@@mulliganstew72 oh that's bad!! dish soap is very strong alkaline will strip your hair from oil. I tried to saturate my hair with conditioner not the root, right before rinsing the color off the root, it did not work. Last month I colored my roots, I saturated my hair not the roots with shampoo before rinsing the root, I think it worked, but I cannot confirm 100% because my highlights were already ruined from the prior coloring. Next time right before rinsing off the color, I will wet my hair with very cold water to seal it , then saturate it with mixed shampoo& conditioner, then rinse off the color with very cold water , that will seal the roots and minimize the bleeding.

[@queeny-l1r]

@@mulliganstew72 hi either the mix is too runny or your overapplying the brush to close to the areas you dont want covered take your time

[@lindasalfen7879]

I had same problem you the first time I did my roots. I just cover the blonde in cheap conditioner now and it worked - it was great. Now today I actually WANTED the dark to run through so I didn't put the conditioner on and it didn't run through!!!!! so now the roots are really dark cos I left it on too long ughhhhhh and need to do more hilites..... grrrrr - can't win

[@TheBandoury]

@@lindasalfen7879 oh sorry .... It will lightened up after few washes; wash the roots with hot water which opens the hair follicles and let some of the coloring be released.

[@ashleyr9042]

Hey great video. Would 30 volume be strong enough for highlights on fine hair? Also quick question can I use a highlift permanent color on my dark roots and then go in and weave highlights using the same formula, or do I use bleach powder instead?

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

It all depends usually on fine hair I would suggest 20 or really watch your 30 good. If you wanted to change your base you could do that with the color then highlight with lightener/bleach. Colors usually lift quite warm so depending on your base color and undertones you might want to only lift a few levels with color and use an ash based one. That’s just general tips granted I haven’t seen your hair ☺️

[@SuperTruthSeeker4U]

Great Demonstration thank you so much

[@lindah629]

Omg that’s beautiful

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Thanks! ☺️

[@amandawelch549]

how do u know what type of bleach and developer to getfor your hair?

[@saradelgado2247]

Hello I love your video It’s very helpful Could you please or someone tell me the name of your hair cut 💇🏼‍♀️? I love it! Would this work for someone with lots of thick hair? 💕

[@elischai777]

I have an all over very light blonde with my dark brown roots growing in. can I just hight the 1/2 inch long roots rather than all over lightening? THank you for your videos! Also it looks like ur lightener is all the way nearly touching ur scalp so it may be hard to gauge the distance by eye over video, would you mind letting me know roughly in cm the distance?

[@martavillegaas3604]

Does this work if you have a lot of roots?Just do the top part? Thanks!

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Yes! Definitely! Creates an easy “money piece”

[@gosiunia2383]

Wow beautiful look😍

[@amberchristine2917]

So I'm planning on going into Sally's and taking your advice on the hair technique. I'm new to this can you tell me what I would need to buy I'm thinking I need a 30 volume but I'm not sure what other supplies I need to do this?

[@firelantern]

Love the vid. Finger tips not getting cooked with no gloves? 😗

I would also like to know if one can use normal kitchen foil?

[@juliarosenthal1386]

Super! Wich toner do you use?

[@JaneSmith0709]

Looks great but if I'm honest it looks unfinished. Is there a reason you didn't go all the way back to the crown with the highlights?

[@katievictoria9039]

What does it look like at the back though xx

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Basically it just ombrés from really blonde near your bangs out to your natural roots at the back

[@rockysmom]

Amazing job! Wish you could do my hair! I always get bleed Mark's. Your hair looks like a level 7, surprised u used 40 volume! I'm scared to go above 20 and I'm level 6

SUBSCRIBED YOUR CHICCY STYLES FREAKIN’ ROCK!!

[@annaviolette2734]

Great video! Could you do this with semi-permanent color?

[@kristinbull4451]

Not if you want to lighten your hair to the level she did which is considered a level 10. You especially can’t do that without using lightener (bleach) if you have color in your hair previously. You can always tone with a demi or semi-permanent but you cannot lighten color with color. For that you have to use a lightener unfortunately. I hope that helps. P.S. I’m a trained cosmetologist just so you don’t think I’m talking out of my a**. Excuse my language.

[@Mar12476]

Can you share the brand of bleach you used?

[@annietaylor2409]

Great video! Can I please ask, I see you're only highlighting those areas that's been bleached before, can I do the opposite and highlight the brown parts? I have exactly the same hair.

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Annie Taylor yup you definitely can.

[@JoyCacchiola]

This was so simple thank you! I just had a pretty bad hair disaster (I did not do it myself, it was a licensed stylist! I wish I could attach pics) and think that I may be able to fix it after watching your video. I’m too scared to go back to her after she botched it not once but twice!! Your color/look is exactly what I want, how will I know what to use for myself to achieve the color I’m looking for? I know I will need to highlight and tone.

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Hey!!! Sorry for the late reply! Since having my baby I took a bit of time off KZbin but getting back to it now 👏🏼. For toner just remember the color wheel. Purple cancels out yellow and blue cancels out orange and green cancels out red so depending on how light you are able to get your hair, toning with anything with a slight hue of these will get you a neutral blonde. If you’re getting your hair to a pale pale blonde as long as you have a toner with a slight bit of purple you will be gtg. Then just watch it and when it gets to where you want wash it out. Toners don’t always need to process the whole amount of time just to the desired color you want. Hope that helps ❤️

[@kittywilhite9583]

Thank you. I was wondering what the toner was for. My natural color is dirty blonde so I just bleach a lot of foils and am done.

[@beatrizmariamendez2809]

If you are not totally blond, what should I use? I have highlights and I asked my stylist which dye he used and the numbers. Should I used the same or just go with the bleach blend?

[@momoshark2257]

Do toners add color or just take brassy/ yellow dingy color away ? Purpose of toners ?

[@natalieperitore3211]

What colors are using
