Easy Quick Freehand Balayage With Freehand Money Piece

[@vivdoolan6846]

I am so tired of dealing with rubbish hairdressers im learning to cut and colour my own hair. I just did a butterfly cut today and finally got the cut ive been askint every hairdresser for for years and they just wouldnt cut enough layers into my thick hair......well i do it myself and it looks awesome. Balayage next !!!

[@adqata]

I Love to do my own stuff but sadly my hair roots are bleached orange and i dont get IT Out....ITS difficult but WE are learning thanks for the Video 🎉🎉

[@amandarobbins2530]

This is the best balayage tutorial I've seen Freehand balayage has always been something I've been uncomfortable doing. I loved how you showed the underside of your sections.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wow fantastic to hear Amanda I hope you can take this technique to the salon floor with you some time soon 😁👍🏻

[@sayd538]

Ive been doing balayage since b4 it had a name lol

[@AngelicaYunuhen]

After thinking and thinking way too much I finally decided to take the risk and use this technique on my own hair for the first time at home. I NEVER ever have done balayage on my own so I was completely stressed and worried at the same time that I could damage my hair or have a completely fail result. I didn't need anyone else, just me and you helpful video. I watched very carefully every step you did and I must definetely say I LOVE how it looks!!! I cannot believe how awesome look this balayage technique on my hair!! Even my husband and friends told me that my hair look stunning and very natural. It was easier than I expected. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I will be using this techinque always! FYI: Even when I did this for the first time, it took around less than an hour to complete the whole process. I can't be more satisfied! ^_^

[@2ii277]

How did you do it on your back?

[@cosmicwoman8044]

I love the fact that u talk with us about the financial benefits of this technique plus the way u explain the technique it self was easy i want to see more of ur tutorials

[@cnm563]

I’m in cosmo school still and haven’t been taught how to do balayage yet but tonight I did a pretty good job on my mannequin thanks to your video. Thank you!

[@DjLuckyCat]

I always end up doing my own balayage and I use this technique but dont use a brush (just gloves and my fingers) I like to push up my hair with my fingers in a swiping motion to really blend the bleach. After I let it sit for about 20 minutes, then rinse and only use shampoo to wash out any product. After, I like to put a medium ash brown to blend the highlights (loreal has some great choices) and that gives me the most natural looking balayage and blends it perfectly.

The points of light gave natural blonde light effect especially around face and done so fast love, love it

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes Helen it’s a cracking technique this one it’s a must have in the bag of any stylist who does Balyage regularly 😁

[@lainyjordan9684]

You lifted the ends before this video. It should be noted that doing this technique on someone with a level 5 haircolor or darker will have an end result that is brassy. The reason for this is because clay processing at room temp doesn’t lift well because there’s no heat. Some people purchase oscillating humidity color processors, which are very expensive. Humidity is needed because reg heat drys out the clay which stops the lifting process. I recommend doing balayage with clay on levels 7 and higher. Any darker I ALWAYS use foils. Clean application. The filming is great and your well spoken.

[@tianamarie989]

It's a mannequin, it's probably had its hair highlighted and colored before the video. I don't think he did that deliberately. He's also showing a technique and not what to use for the lightener.

[@juliefritz8636]

Exactly. He's howing how to do balayage. Not what the end result color will be. Any person who has sense would know that lifting will depend on the color. Some like the brassy copper and caramel color.lift like I do bc I have very dark brown hair. I just need to know placement which is why I'm watching this and I think he did very great job

[@dontlookforme1999]

I just used this video as a guide and did my own hair and it came out pretty dam good..its was fast and easy to do.

[@0blivvy8]

Thank you! I'm thinking about doing it!

[@debbiepacker.]

Did you find it easy to paint the back pieces? I've REALLY been wanting to try this, but I'm afraid of trying to do the back. It's always hard when I try to foil the back.

[@dontlookforme1999]

Best technique yet. However, any notes on how to do the back section of our heads ourselves @TheLifeofHair

[@imnotgonnasay3612]

Hi! Just thought I'd share my technique for the backside. Section out your hair. Then form each section into smaller ponytail sections using tiny rubber bands. Lightly backcomb under the rubber band. Then apply the balayage technique to each ponytail. When you're ready to wash it out, you can carefully break or cut the bands. The whole process is a pain in the butt but it's organized and I always get great results. Give it a try! Good luck!

I love this video, no back combing or teasing or whatever it’s called now. I would never get the tangles out of my hair if I teased it. Actually I don’t even really understand the point of the back combing, doesn’t using smaller sections do the same thing?

[@kaylaperry8943]

No back combing blends from the root to where the bleach begins so u don’t get harsh lines of bleach. There is a proper way to back comb and be able to easily remove it when done. I do not recommend back combing if you aren’t a licensed cosmetologist. If u don’t know proper technique you will cause un needed damage.

Beautiful result , is it light enough at the end to tone, or would adding a toner darken the hair? Rookie cosmo student here.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes I toned the hair after lifting, Yes you could tone the ends down if you wanted to, It would only darken if you use the level darker than you listed it to or the hair was very porous Hope that answers your question.
