  • Wow! well well well this turned into a really long video but I feel like every bit of it was justified, I couldn’t cut it any more as much as I tried. We are going to look at how to create a Balyage on blonde hair a reversed Balyage, this for me is a lifesaver of a technique in the salon, For many many reasons once you start to use this technique you too will see why it is such a useful technique there is only one secret to this technique.......

    Hi James, after doing a full head bleach on my head for the past few years I decided to grow the roots out and do a reversed balyage for a more maintainable look. THANK YOU for this video, the combing technique is so simple and so effective, I am in no way a professional but after endless hours of scrolling through root melts on youtube, Im so happy I found yours!! explained so well and easy to follow- a talent in both hair and teaching!

      Hi there! I know the comment is old but I’m dealing with this exact situation as you and was just curious what kind of product you used to transition between your hair and roots. Shades EQ is a liquid so I wasn’t sure if cream based color would work with this technique.

    I did this with my niece's hair after I dyed it red. She wanted to go blue and had considerable regrowth... I bleached out the red and with no experience just used the comb and blended out her roots... I was so proud of myself with the results! She had a nice shadow root and people asked her where she got it done so they could get the same result! I wish I could do my own hair, though 😂

  • @christieees
    @christieees 3 года назад +3

    Omg. Thank you. Thank you! Your technique really works! I remembered using a comb to try and blend but I did not tilt the comb back like you did and it did not work. They way you did and explained everything so well.
    So I already had highlights but slightly messed up some areas at the root section and tried your technique using a medium brown hair dye (combed 2x since I’m doing it on myself) for my roots and it worked!!! I did not need to use a light toner at all for the bottom part. So we’ll blended in and I love it! I feel like a pro now. 🤗 You saved my hair just when I needed it.

      I highlifted it yesterday with a 30vol. and Wella Lightener Brown Blond. I had just one level up, maybe due to my free dosage which I should have not done it this way. I am light brown with blond highlights with some reddishness in it. I should tone it as you have said. But however, I am thinking more and more about bleaching. Nonetheless, my hair is curly just as beautifully as yours and bleaching them breaks my heart, they would look and feel as a broom brush afterwards...

    Can anyone help? I'm going to try this on a wig, only thing is the wig in the video already had a slightly darker root but I'm going to be using all over light ash blonde hair, should I still be able to pull it off alright?
    Also, am I better to do one side first? Or start at the back? I'm just concerned about the dye being left to develop on one side for longer than the other and it looking dodgy...? (I know he only did one side for the purpose of the video)
    Alsooo, Im gona try make the wig from scratch (sew wefts onto the cap and ventilate a silk top closure - God help me haha!) I was thinking I'd be better to make a slight dark root, just as a starting point BEFORE sewing all the hair on and then do the root drag and balayage as normal once the whole unit is sewn onto the cap - so that I can avoid getting dye near the cap and dont end up dying the lace/silk top or something. Sound like a good idea? Yay, nay?
    Never done this before, shitting it, any help much appreciated!

    Here’s one I can’t find...I have bangs now. Front falling sort of curtain bangs. Do I just part them with my natural part (which is a side part that I’m trying to train to be centered)? do I part them in the center? You probably answered this twenty three times in the video and multiply that by twelve in the comments...what can I say...I can only pay so much attention to so many different things one after the other...😉

    Thank you for a great video. It seems to me this technique would work best on an even canvas. I'm currently at a level 6-7 from box dye. My roots are a natural ashy level 5 with lots of grey. I'm thinking of doing a color removal and then doing a bleach wash (minus the roots) to bring it up to a level 8 before doing this technique. Good idea or no? Should I include my roots in the bleach wash? I worry about hot roots but maybe the level 6 I'm using for the balayage will cover that?

    Hi James.
    Thank you so much for all your hard work in making these educational videos and for sharing your tested techniques with us. Watching your videos are so inspirational because they're easy to follow and to understand. I've been out of a salon environment for 20 or more years, but I still do family and friends. I now feel I've lost all my confidence doing hair because I'm not doing it everyday and my skills are rusty. I miss doing hair but my mental health got the better of me working so up and close with people. I would much rather have done the education and product side of Hairdressing than working behind a chair every day. Good luck with your future plans you truly deserve success with all your hard work and passion.

    So I am not an expert but I've been doing my own hair for years and I wanted to do this to my own hair since my roots were coming and there was a horrendous demarcation line from when I lightened my hair. I knew I wanted to blend my roots to my light ends and I didnt know how. I bought the Ion ammonia-free dark chestnut and a light mushroom blonde which is basically what I had in my hair from before on my ends and my natural hair color is a very dark brown.. I followed your steps and my hair came out better than I had hoped. Your steps were so easy to me and made total sense. I was able to blend the dark chestnut to the mushroom blonde and leave some of the lightness from before. My hair is curly so my curls pop. Just wanted to say that my hair came out great because of you! Thank you for the great video!
