Thanks a lot i have learned so much from you. I am a 15 years experienced technician an i really don't understand why people put a thumb down. That's really rude and ignorant. Thanks again brother

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you very much could you appreciate videos all the best James

[@Super_sisters3007]

This technique is amazing I did it on a client with virgin hair put a fine weave between each air dried section and blended with conditioner It cut 2 hours of my last method with better finish result!! Just awesome!!

Thanks James!! I cant wait to try this out, I've been putting into practice the things I've learnt from watching your videos over the last few months and I'm having incredible results and such good feedback from clients, and gaining new ones on the strength of being recommended, so thankyou so much once again! 😊.x

Oh wow that is amazing to hear I love it when people tell me that the techniques they have done have helped them behind the chair for the businesses it is such a wonderful thing to hear

[@sufiaahmedkhan4767]

You are absolutely 💯 👍

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you very kind of you

[@WeirdEWonderful]

I love the concept of this technique as the teasing was always a nightmare for me to brush out and it makes me late all the time and pushes my time.. you explained it very well! I remember I tried it and it was a disaster as the hair just blew out of my hand and I think I know why I took my sections too thin.. now you showed them to be about 1cm thick, it made more sense as no one explained on Instagram. Thank you 🙏🤩

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Are fantastic super pleased that helped you out with trying to do this technique it’s definitely worth giving another go taking the slightly larger section of 1 cm will probably definitely solve all of your issues

[@WeirdEWonderful]

This is fantastic James. I would love to try this. My concern is that if you have a client who's hair is highlighted with a different technique, you'll inevitably get hair in the section that's already been lightened and I'd be worried about overprocessing. What would you advise on this? Also, what lightener are you using and what's the mixing ratio? Many thanks

[@ariel4065]

Informative and brilliant as always, James! I can't wait try it on my girl, Lindsay, (doll head!) In any balayage technique, how do you incorporate a thick fringe and have it blend? Also, have you made or can you make a video on how you style her hair? I love the curls! Love the background music:)

Great work I can’t wait to try this.why did you go with straight parting instead of horizontal back? Just Wondering it turned out fantastic

For maximum coverage horizontal sections working up to the partings will give you more coverage than working through the parting hope that helps all the best James

When is your salut glad you enjoyed it yes definitely give it go it’s a cracking technique I really enjoy using it If I’m colouring a training head I always bump up my developer one peroxides strength stronger than I would do in normal life basically

This James is Brilliant! I am not a hair dresser. I am not a woman who knows anything about cutting hair and rarely get my own hair cut due to many bad experiences by my own hand😳, my Mum and a few hair salons too.😩 At this point, I can confidently say that I get why I have a problem with cutting my hair. I don't know what I really want!!! And to be honest, I never really wanted to "commit" to taking care of my curly, dry and frizzy hair. (The truth hurts)😫.

[@behicana]

what does the hairline look like with this technique? do you need to add money piece if the client wants to wear their hair in a pony? or is this technique enough?
