Lovely work! So pretty! I am going to try to show this to my hairdresser. I have thick hair and have been getting it highlighted to blend the greys at my crown area and want to get rid of that warmth throughout. Thank you for explaining the process. You’re so talented 😊
Looks amazing. How do you add highlights without damaging the hair for someone who straightens it? I use straightening products and my hairdresser cautioned me not to do many highlights If I also use a straightening iron, keratin, etc. due to the risk of breakage.
Do you actually put anything on the roots or just foils and if not how can you possibly add a little depth without that as my hairdresser is reluctant to do root shadow because of the maintenance involved for me .
Absolutely stunning work, Kristi! Question, since it takes a long time to mix, you said 5 minutes, is it difficult for you to mix bleach possibly mid-way through a full foil application whilst making sure the hair isn’t over processed? Not a hairdresser, just really stumped haha.
@@heather1589 …I’m still interested in how blonde solutions is used in practice, and it was a genuine question that I would like to be clarified? Blonde Solution’s doesn’t really address this in their website nor in their ig, so it would be interesting to hear from someone who has actually used it? I don’t understand what I’ve said would warrant a snarky response? Thanks I guess.
I wasn’t meaning to be snarky. What i meant was when you have 2000 hrs of cosmetology school plus 25 yrs of full time experience you know how it all works. Experience is like your conscience in these situations. And theres so many variables that you can run into in any given situation so you cant really give an answer to someone who doesn’t have experience doing it. The most simple answer is you check your foils and you can pull the ones that are done or leave them in depending on the result you are looking for all the while assessing the integrity of the hair. It sounds like you are interested in Hairdressing, you should go to school for it and try it out. It might be something you really love.
@@heather1589 why are you being rude ,she asked a question and your response was snarky! You have so much experience under your belt and you can not expect others to know what you know as a professional cosmo, so respect us and those who don’t understand and want to.have a blessed day.
Tried blonde solutions out man you gotta mix that shit for like 3 minutes MINIMUM I’d never use it in a level 6 or below or it takes forever but love the tone it gives
Um yea. That crap turned me green and pink... And I mixed it FOREVER. I have a container with developer if u wanna buy it from me lol I'm super platinum and actually found that the new Wella Blondorplex works better than blonde me and blonde solutions. Worth a try if u ever feel the need for change. 😁
Thank you so much for sharing with us. I have a Cleint that has been driving me up the wall with her gray blending. She’s already all gray. We highlight and glaze. She’s always happy when she leaves. Then 6 months later I get messages about how her highlights didn’t take and her hair faded brassy. It drives me nuts to constantly explain that she needs to keep up the service with glazings. The last highlight I did she insisted I take her hair white blond and it did a lot of damage. She was happy despite the integrity of her hair being ruined against my professional advice. Yesterday I get a text how her neighbor white gray not highlights and can I do something like that. Because her hair quickly faded brassy. Probably because it was so light and damaged it wouldn’t hold the glaze. I wanted to hang my head into the wall. Any advice on how to handle a client like this. Because I’m tempted to tell her to go to her neighbors hairstylist. I won’t be responsible for her hair breaking off.
I probably do the same as you. I just keep explaining that the more highlights we do the more yellow that will be in your hair eventually. The toner will always eventually fade out and will always go yellow unless you consistently come back for toning, which in that case, gets dull over time so at some point will be toning darker than when originally lifted. Tell her, no matter who you go to this will always be the outcome because this is how color works, every color fades. So we can either do the highlights, just know it will go yellow at some point, or you can keep your natural and not touch it. I’ve had people drive to me from a long ways away about their gray wanting highlights cause they don’t want it to look grey and I tell them, your hair is so white grey blond looking highlights will just ruin it. It already is that color you just don’t like it cause it’s grey but if I do it it will just be a waste of time and money cause you won’t even notice it and eventually it will go yellow…… and tell her, we lifted your hair so much last time it’s too damaging to do it again.
Also if she still insists, do a strand test and show her her melted hair. Sometimes that’s what it takes for people to see oh my hair could actually melt off.
I have older fragile hair- the DOUBLE process is what damages. I can go to a level 9 w baby light, THEN I need a simple semi (no developer) to "glaze" or get that silver tone. Also have to heatless style because the hair needs lots of babying. IMO the mistake "grey blending" stylists make is to use a toner + developer. IT ALWAYS damages the hair more and makes the NATURAL hair brassy. so you get brassy + brassier w the Demi toners!
@@hairbykristijennings6648 the toner+ developer (glaze?) it what damages the hair & makes too much brass. Why not send them home w a semi they can do after washes?
Well that explains why the front of her hair looks so fried. You never do highlights or colour beginning at the temple where the hair is the finest and most vulnerable - it lightens and it darkens quicker than the rest of the hair
I just went back to watch and see and no where is her hair fried. Idk if you’ve ever used blonde solutions but it’s an extremely slow gentle lift. I only ever do the regrowth and don’t run bleach through the ends so there’s no possibility of damage. I always go through and check foils if I need to pull them out if they are done processing, I will. Also, grey hair is generally stronger and more coarse than other hair. Her hairline was definitely fine. You would see melted off pieces and hair in the drain if it was fried.
I do the extra foils on the nape ONE time free and they ask me to throw it in ‘every time’ afterwards. I hate it. Let’s have a video on how to handle “these types” I can’t even buy groceries for two hours of work. Then they tell you ALL about their fancy vacation for two hours.

Woohoo! Been waiting for this video!
what a job 😍👏 Kristi, what do you recommend for the blond hair as shampoo, conditioner, etc. against for it to get brassy over time, please?
Do you actually put anything on the roots or just foils and if not how can you possibly add a little depth without that as my hairdresser is reluctant to do root shadow because of the maintenance involved for me .

I’ve never heard of blonde solutions! Do they sell it at cosmoprof or saloncentric?
He’s a You Tuber and you have to join his membership and they’re always on back order for months and months and is expensive.
Amaizing

Simple… you enforce your boundaries and know your worth! Don’t do anything for free!
