Shadow Root Balayage || Hair Tutorial

[@cicciuzzu5032]

I gotta be honest, if all your videos are like this one you are by far the best to me when it comes to create hair tutorials that inspire beautiful, wearable hair. I've been watching this video over and over again and every time is a real pleasure. Keep up the beautiful work and please don't you never, ever change! And needless to say, you got a new subscriber. Thanks very much!

[@melissafarrugia9531]

Hands down one of the best color tutorials I've watched...

[@kt2906]

I absolutely love your videos, you have helped me so much and I also love the length of your videos I hope you don't change a thing.

[@JaneSmith0709]

I LOVE the background music in this video! Great technique. The end result is beautiful!

[@candidabarros]

Waoooooo...the back with two foils only, wonderful!!! Super pretty. Thanks👍

[@kittendivine1]

I love the relaxing music. KZbin is always full of fast upbeat happy music to keep you hooked...but it's so tiring.

[@hawaiapril]

Love the attention to detail, really beautiful work!!

[@donna5444]

You have skills!! I like the spa music you choose for your videos. Very relaxing as I take in the knowledge. Thanks for speeding up as well👍

[@Rownenav]

I love to watch your videos! they're simple, quick, and amazing technic! 👏👏👏👏

[@jasmineclark9546]

What a beautiful job! You make it SO simply! I can't wait to try this on someone...;)

[@samiuelsami1238]

God😱 I am in love with your hair techniques. You nailed it girl super pretty and I love how you talk less and act magical unlike other you tubers who ramble on 🤐for hours

[@ariaafghan22]

You're right. I usually mute the video and just watch. For this one I didn't have to do it.

[@emmasalas4515]

???

[@cerereeves371]

samiuel sami that music put me to sleep all 3 times I tried to watch! 😴 Did she leave the shadow root color in while balayaging the rest??

[@lifeonplanetdede]

Cere' Reeves yes

[@510bayareaprincess]

Except other youtubers write down everything used on description box to clarify I just came across her videos but it seems she can careless to say what she uses so a lot of comments ask but of course no answer so why bother doing “tutorials” if they are incomplete although she says what she used the info is parcial

[@RLyon]

Personally, I would've liked longer shadow roots... And still THE COLORS ARE SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! That's exactly the combination and nuance I want. Great technique, great job!!

[@kr1656]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! I can't wait to try this technique! I've been out of a salon setting almost 3 years so I am a little out of the loop 😂

[@lethaltaj8656]

Everytime i watch your video i learn something new. You're so full of talent! Prayers, respect n love from Pakistan 😍

[@jrjulesrules1]

Thank you.. I learned more from this video then i did the 10 before this one.. exactly what i was looking for.. great tutorial ..

[@LexiDawnMcc]

thats so awesome! glad I could help you out!

[@daisymagi9107]

I knew u were good when I saw ur applying method. Good job!

[@susansuviseshamuthu3033]

So natural looking! Love it!

[@violetkendrick6357]

This is just Beautiful. It's so natural and earthy ......

[@Pressity1]

Thank God you put this up! I've never gone through beauty school, but have dyed plenty of heads in the 20 years. I only dyed my own hair for he first time June 21 because my roots just went grey as he'll in the last 3-4 years. Anyways, I've only ever done single, whole head color. My sister in law knows this. I've dyed her hair quite a few times, so she knows I at least have the basics down solid, but she got this genius idea in her that she wants this done to her head! Only she wants me to use the Mystic Divine 6VV Violet Medium Brown demi permanent color for roots, that requires 2:1 10 volume developer:color ratio and 45 minutes procesing time, with some cheap neon pink semi permanent color from a local beauty supply store (not a chain, like local, privately owned and run, I'm sure everyone knows what kind of beauty supply store I'm talking about here) that requires hair to be damp and only has a 15 minute processing time! I'm over here shitting a brick, not wanting to screw up this girls hair, but not having a clue as to how to go about this with these two compleyely different dyes! 😕💩💩💩

[@kearabevels]

Is her hair a level 6? Because if not it might not show up in her hair. Sometimes depending on hair color you will have to lighten it

[@kellygunderson7766]

Thanks for the video...... it turned out beautiful and I love your style.

[@rachellebustillo1340]

I am going to try this on my friend tomorrow! Awesome video!

[@HoiNguyen-dl4hc]

Thanks so much for your videos. Love love your work. Beautiful results.

[@Lmt0224]

Was going to do my hair and watched this and fell asleep from the music lol will try again later 🤣

[@LexiDawnMcc]

haha I know its mesmerizing

[@sashiez1]

Such a calm and sweet hairdresser, I feel so relaxed watching your videos. Excellent outcome, gorgeous tones. Your clients are so lucky!! 👌👍👏❤️

[@nanatazya4773]

[@kristijeffgillis5218]

(: love how you don't ramble on its straight to the point and it came out beautiful!! I've had bad experiences with stylist never comes out like I want its like they don't listen to what I'm wanting!!!!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! Make sure to check out some of my more recent videos too!

[@anastasiyasteshenko]

Hi, you went with a bleach on the fresh brown,didn’t you get any warmth? Did you use permanent or Demi on the roots? What’s the developer strength you used for the bleach? Thanks!

[@julyekika02]

One more beautiful job, but the song scared me 😱😱😱😱😱

[@Idaliasantana68]

Excellent results 🤩

[@lm4555]

What did you use to tone? It's beautiful!

[@eileensmith6361]

As always I enjoyed your video..keep them coming..inspires me to start a channel

[@anamendez2283]

love love love your work

[@Greetje68]

looks great! nice job

[@brynnmorton6576]

I love your videos and you're so talented! My only suggestion is maybe doing a little more editing with your videos. Shorter videos will definitely bring in more people since most of us have terrible attention spans lol can't wait to see more from you, though!

[@nordicprincess1]

I disagree. For those of us that want to see all her moves and how she does them, the part that bothers me when I watch other tutorials are sometimes they edit out how to layer areas or how they did the front or sides or top etc.. This shows everything. I need to see everything and I might speak for many here, but that is why people love lexi's videos. I do think she needs to show more end product pictures and full pics where they show the top, front, sides and back so we really can see the end result.

[@cicciuzzu5032]

nordicprincess1 I agree with you to disagree. These videos are mainly watched by professional who seek tuition as well as inspiration. Cutting corners doesn't apply to creating a beautiful look!

[@nordicprincess1]

I know plenty of people that watch that are not professional. I think it is sad to assume you are speaking for everyone that watches. This is youtube, not a site that is for professionals only.

[@bodyjewels]

HI Lexie.this is my fav video..what bleach did you use..what final toner did you use.I love this. PERFECT FOR FALL THIS YEAR. FORMULA PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :-) :-) :-) :-)

[@anyahallow2865]

Cynthia Lopresti the formula doesn’t matter as much as the technique, and the technique can vary depending on your client. I do this a lot with demi colors as well as color gels, or sometimes I will shadow root at the bowl after the balayage. The lightener I would do 30 volume with Olaplex

[@jennifervanarsdale7606]

Hello...I was wondering why you foiled so e of the hair together?

[@sarahbarthule6633]

beautiful!!

[@user-jy5xc5vp1q]

Your videos are AMAZING! Thank you so much for all your help 💞💞

[@emilydurbin2587]

How did you wash it out of it not to blend on the blonde or does that not really matter

[@alinahandemileesworld82]

by bleaching over the color, it doesn't affect the results? ?? can we do this with any color? or just with the kind your using??

[@jwhomeschool]

Great question, I was wondering the same thing

[@millie8869]

I think she put a toner over it to cancel it out

[@rebeccacook1860]

Hey Lexi, I enjoy your tutorials. I am an at home stylist, and I'm wondering if you could give me a ballpark of how long it takes to do some of the multi step processes that so many people are requesting these days? Ex: color retouch for greys, then mix of foil hilites, and baliage hilites and lolites, followed by a toning process and cut and style. I feel like this takes me forever and with out being in a salon I have no one to compare myself to see if I'm way out of line. Thanks so much!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

i usually book out 2-3 hours depending on the services

[@rebeccacook1860]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you getting back to me. Knowing the real time of these services is very helpful!

[@joanangel5283]

So when rinsing out the hair... does any of the root colour run onto what you have lightened??? How would you avoid that happening? I always worry that say... a 6 on roots will grip to the bleached lifted area. Be interested to hear your answer.... tnx. Grt video.x

[@renewandt5061]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@116KatieKatJack227]

Beautiful job Lexi! Do you tone with anything at the sink after the entire process is finished?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Jen Murray I toned her with equal parts shades eq platinum ice and opal glow

[@shellbel067]

Your work is so beautiful.

[@sarahcool95]

How are you blending the root color into the highlights on the ends? Are you just feathering them together? I always struggle with getting my balayage blendy

[@s0n1c0r3]

she uses a comb to come it down after applying the root color if thats what youre asking

[@samaralokay9711]

amazing work 💜

[@d-voiceohmygod742]

awww i like your hair style

[@rachelstanley2329]

How do i do this if the root colour i have only has a 10min processing time and im doing highlights with the 20vol?? Can i put the highloghts in then roots afte?

[@mariabidwell7065]

What do you think of doing the roots first, let process , wash, dry and then do the regular balayage afterwards?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

You can do that for sure it will just take you longer to complete the service.

[@slrcouture]

Lexi Dawn I have natural 1B colored hair. I want to do your balayage technique but with the roots black. Should I balayage first, then do the melting of the root? What’s the best way to get that look. Thanks in advance

[@chfh8634]

Wow! Love it girl....let me know why do you apply oil in hair please..m just beginner..thank u for share...

[@melissafarrugia9531]

It's a protective and nourishing oil that helps keep hair health throughout the lightening processing, even most box dyes have them to add to the formula..

[@LavenderScent]

What volume? And what color for roots?

[@narcefragoso134]

Loved this!

[@lewniadslenny]

realy nice tutorial thanks Lexi Dawn!!!

[@shellbel067]

You are an amazing colorist.

[@Luvv914]

Is the root color permanent or Demi? Love your video ❤️

[@tapatiaconestilo7172]

What do u tone use plz

[@ghostiiiekun6636]

This is greaat ! so do you just penetrate the ends with bleach and just color the surface towards the roots for the blonding part? :)

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+chelsea krziske i put a root shadow color on and put some bleach on the ends.

[@suskahob4606]

+Lexi Dawn what kind of bleach do you use and i would really like to know what's the formula

[@armandomoreno7637]

Lexi Dawn what volume for the Lightner did u use please?

[@snowflake0752]

We will really appreciate if you write down in the box, the brand and the toners you are using. Please and thank you. Nice job by the way 👍

[@lifeisna]

quick question is that just anormal comb your using as your finishing applying the root coloour and am i right in thinking your just doing it to blend more?

[@Rr-xt8tv]

Where Is your salon?

[@parvinmasoudi3909]

Perfect 👍 🙏

[@marygracetabamo3120]

What shade of the color top and color shade down?

[@apbjbowar]

I'm going to be doing this but my client has bangs. What do you suggest?

[@makeupbyxtinaa]

Love it!!!

[@katyagonzalez8637]

Would you ever start in the back?

[@ammylopez1867]

I was completely blonde and decided to tone it down and go for a rooty balayage.... I have no complaints other than they teased the LIFE out of my hair and it has been 2 days and my headache will not go away. I wish my stylist would learn this technique instead. :( I do not think I will ever get this done again. It was painful lol

[@deborahwallace1847]

When do this. I get too much warmth. Level 5 20 vol (gray coverage) 20 vol. on the lightener too. Any suggestions?

[@mariabidwell7065]

Lexie what do you think about using matrix color sync 10A as a toner instead of the Redken Eq shades?

[@LexiDawnMcc]

im not sure i've never used it.

[@reactingtwovideos9109]

Lexi love the color but you didn’t include your final toner,, plz email me!

[@SourabhSoniVlogs]

You are not rinse the lightner?

[@liezabathiu1582]

I love it can you tell me what did you exactly used on her roots please

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Lieza Bathiu i say it at the beginning of the video and they are from logics by matrix.

[@francisegonzales7065]

Lexi Dawn do you think if I used a 8n instead of the 6n that it would still look okay at the root or should I just use 6n

[@ValeriePac]

love your videos girl!

[@francisegonzales7065]

Do you do all your shadow route like this or do you do some at the bowl to

[@LexiDawnMcc]

i do most of them at the bowl

[@francisegonzales7065]

Lexi Dawn thank you

[@saturninoperez9083]

fab!

[@palomabenavidez6171]

What’s lightener?

[@alexandracreighton4079]

What colours are being used here on the root ans ends?

[@emiliekerr8133]

Hi Lexi. If I did the base colour with a permanent would the bleach not get through it even with a high peroxide? Or would up definitely recommend a semi/demi? Also if I use a semi would it wash out pretty quickly? Thanks! Love your work!

[@LexiDawnMcc]

+Emilie Kerr the bleach would have a little harder time breaking through so it would be pretty warm. The demi color shouldn’t wash out too fast.

[@emiliekerr8133]

Lexi Dawn thank you! The client I'm doing wants a copper tone on the lightened parts so was thinking it might be okay if it was a warmer anyway? I'll have a look into semi/Demi colour though definitely as I always use permanent.

[@helenmenon329]

Hi what number colur you used for her down hair ?? Pls tell me

[@jackiieoviedo9134]

Did you tone it after the bleach??
