Can totally relate! Ive tried so many hairdressers to get the perfect balyage and each hairdresser has just basically gave me highlights..not blended or anything😭😭
The easiest explanation for toner versus dye is this: Dye will shift the color of your hair up or down (lighter or darker), while toner will shift the existing color along the spectrum right to left (warmer or cooler). Hope this helps someone who may not still understand.
This was the most helpful video. I was looking for the best way to explain to my mom what I want, when I don’t know the Spanish terms for these things 😅 this helped with the examples and captions. Thanks! 🙏🏼
I haven’t had any coloring done to my hair in 10 years, and I’m wanting to do that, and this video really helps me know what I want to communicate when I go get it done! Your videos are so helpful!! They’re so informative & you do a great job at making it easy to understand!
I watched this after getting highlights and I now understand why my hairdresser gave me something I didn't think I asked for... I wanted partial saturation balayage and for it to be cute and subtle natural tones (I literally showed her the exact photo Brad used for partial saturation on the left) but instead she gave me large sliced highlights up to my roots in a platinum ash tone. I left the salon in tears because the difference was a lot harsher than I wanted.
Girl, same same. I’m still soo mad but nothing can be done. U can wait abit then try again if your hair feels healthy enough. Mine is fried! Also always ask if they use olaplex at the salon or not!
How do you manage the bleached hair, which always tangle! mine are good looking but falling. Hair wash days scary these days. I wanted something that needs less maintenance instead i got into mess for I don’t know how long! Any solution to avoid tangling?
@@amansrankhangura use anything with plex technologies, I use the whole olaplex line, it's expensive but I only buy the whole lot once a year, and I use cheaper plex products in-between, and my hair feels amazing, also have you heard of L'Oréal dream lengths wonder water? It's absolutely phenomenal, you leave it on for a few minutes, it gets warm whilst it's activating, and when you rinse it out follow up with a leave in conditioner, use anything that gives you moisture, also in-between that, use something like aphogee protein treatment, because your hair needs a balance of both moisture and protein, if you have more of one or the other, then your hair goes extremely dry and knotted, these products should definitely help x 😀
It’s like you’re reading my mind babe bc recently I’ve been REALLY considering blonde highlights or balayage for a while and this video is fr what I neeeeeed omggg thankkkkyouuuuu
Make sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing! I got my hair done green! Balayage style and she didnt know how to do it so my hair looks... Not good
Balayage is a noun derived from the verb balayer “to pass the broom” or to brush. in French. In case someone wanted to know, not sure any fox are given though.
In Paris (where all is beautiful but blonde hair of any kind will be murdered), balayage is used by french hairdressers to describe any kind of highlight and by highlight I mean saying your roots aren't long enough even at your cheekbones and by highlight I mean drenching your entire head in 40 percent volume bleach whilst claiming there is no such thing as a toner/gloss/colour.
I wish I could go to your salon and get my hair done by you, it just would be so relieving to be in good hands and let the magic happen ! I never done something to my hair but I want to do highlights and I don’t trust any hairstylist here in Germany 😢
Mariana Cardoso de Oliveira Google hair salons close to you and look up the stylist insta if they post there work if some one speaks to you book a advice appt . what i like to do is show the idea of what i want for my hair (Pinterest) and built in that
Ich würde auch mal empfehlen welche auf Insta zu suchen, das hilft häufig. Es gibt hier gute Friseure in größeren Städten, aber ich verstehe total was du meinst...
THANK YOU, BRAD! I was literally just going to apply box color on my dirty blonde hair... You saved me! I'm wayyyy old enough to know better, done it plenty of times long ago, but I'm going stir crazy being home and desperate (I actually have the box right in front of me). After seeing this I decided to wait, and go see my stylist when I can for hi-lights ("slices" to be precise, ha ha). And, since you asked, I love your hair with that color and cut! You wear it well! 😉👍 Please keep up the great, very informative, fun videos. ❤️
@Lara They prolly totally forgot abt it, but if you see this, I am getting highlights for the first time…. If you respond and ask me in about a month I’ll tell you how it went….!
Two things: 1. I love your hair, I'm loving this look. 2. How did you know that I'm going in for balayage this weekend, you sorcerer? What perfect timing thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I am currently wanting to get highlights on my very dark hair and now I'll be able to give my stylist a much better explanation of what I want! 😍
BRAD MONDO!!!!! I watched this video before going to my stylist to get professional all-over color for the FIRST TIME! I spoke with her and ended up getting a bomb, BOMB color because of her awesome skill and my ability to tell her what I wanted because of YOUR BRILLIANCE!! I ended up getting BALAYAGE with ROOT SMUDGE and I am soooo freeeeaking happyyyyyy with it! My naturally dark brown hair is now super-dimensional honey brown with dark gold highlights.
@@alexandraludanyi3795 hahahahaha "fetch" isn't getting any love in 2020 either 😂 I got the reference and no offence taken. Glad someone else has a sense of humor 😆
im watching this 3 weeks before my hair appointment to get a cut and highlights for my virgin hair. I had no idea there were different types so this is super helpful
Your videos had made me the family hairdresser through tve pandemic. Started with me cutting my husband from the tutorial you posted. The my mother saw the result and wanted her two year old balayage topped up or more like redone at that point. Said and done. Also gave her a haircut. Now my nice wanted me to cut a blunt lob with some subtle layering, she was so happy with it that my sister now “booked” me for this weekend to highlight her hair. So now I’m binge watching your videos again. They better pay me with a Prosecco lol
Brad I love how you are always so positive and helpful, even if you don't like a hair technique (like the money piece) you're still like this is how you can do this if you want it.
I literally just got highlights today XD apparently I got partial saturation highlights. Good to know for next time. Props to my hairdresser knowing what to do when I said I want to bring summer back but still kinda winter XD
Thinking about doing the partial balayage to add some extra dimension to my hair without a drastic change. I feel like the balayage would be perfect because I won't have to keep going in to get root touch ups! This video was a huge help! Love you Brad!❤
BRAD THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT A ROOT SHADOW AND NOT A SHADOW ROOT! 1. Babylights are the biggest waste of time and usually cause breakage when doing a retouch as its impossible to follow the lines. 2. Balayage means "sweeping" derived from the verb "balayer" which means to sweep. 3. Hairpainting is the way to go and much less time consuming. Check out the whittemore House in NYC were the first hairpainters and invented the root shadow back in 2006.
I seriously need Brad to save my hair! I was in a bad car wreck two years ago in Oct 2017. & this wreck took my ability to walk for two years(still not fully walking with out assistance or I am in my wheel chair.) Was supposed to lose my leg and I have had 25 plus surgeries/procedures to get my leg to be saved. Lost my entire ankle joint and 2 inches of my tibia! Now that back story is out there. My hair is DEFINITELY showing the medical/medications/anesthesia/ect that I have had administered to me! The trauma made hair fall out right after my wreck. & when I was in the wreck I have Looooong beautiful, naturally curly, bright Red hair. I went to get the red out because I couldn’t afford to keep up with it after not being able to work anymore- due to losing my ability to walk. So.. needless to say. It has been bleached, stripped, bleached some more, toned, I had a Malibu done as well. Now, I have light orange, brown, blonde, blue, silver, golden blonde, ect in my hair. My roots are the darkest blonde and the lightest brown you can have, almost a mouse brown with streaks of all these colors I recently listed! I seriously need help.. I lost so much hair already from this entire process. I know it takes forever and many processes to get Red out. But, in all seriousness. Can we make appointments with you? Ugh. Hellllpppp me. 😩
@@EmyN I lost my entire ankle joint. Am two inches shorter in they side and can’t bend my foot or my leg fully. Might end up being amputated, sadly! But I kept pushing and am walking again, even though they said I probably wouldn’t! Thanks for sending love, dear!!b
Where has this channel been all my life..I just barely found it. I've been looking to do my hair for sooo loong( im talking about almost 2years) but don't know exactly what it is I want. My hair is long and thick and had a few people mess it up before even permanently a couple years back. She put bleach in my hair and under blow dryer and kept it on for a long time until i felt it was burning my scalp and hair hasn't been the same since. I had patches of blond near crown and its been crumby thin since in those areas.😭Even after these years I think about it everytime I do my hair.. so now I just want a nice look...here i am studying before I go blindly to stylist. Your hair looks superb👌 btw.
A few years ago I decided I wanted blue hair and I bleached my hair myself. And I was like omg why is my hair yellow? But then I remembered color theory and dyed it dark purple and it turned into a pretty ashy blonde. I was so happy. xD Yay for toning.
Fun Fact : "Balayer" in French means "to sweep" (like with a broom) :-D "balayage" means "sweeped" or more literally "a sweeping" :-P. 'J'ai balayé le sol' - 'I sweeped the floor'. "Un balais" = "a broom".
Thank you SO much for this. I’ve been in the process of going from plum purple box dye to blonde over the past year. I’m finally at the stage of getting a full head of highlights on Friday, and my head will be blonde! This vid has given me so much more confidence! Love you 💕
THIS IS THE BEST I'm always trying to explain with non-stylist terms and now I won't sound so confused lol. My hairdresser is gonna be like girl who you been talking to?! lol
I've literally been getting a full head of babylights for like 5 years and I always dread it because I have a ton of hair, so my hair appointments take like 4 hours - now I know there's a faster way!!!!!
Love love love this color on you! I miss having my hair salon colored. I had to quit my job to care for my Mom and that is one expense that had to go away. Love living vicariously through all your videos!
Lady Steele yes , for example I get them blond and my whole hair looks full blond, but the highlights still pop. But it looks good if you do it right🤷🏼♀️
I'm getting my hair done today for the first time ever... I only ever dyed it once with an Arctic Fox dye almost 7 years ago and that washed out in a month .-. I was so nervous and had no idea what to begin to ask for but thanks to your videos I feel allot more confident
Thanks Brad. You should get your cosmetology teacher license, if you don’t already have it, because your very good at getting people to understand the complexity of hair color.
Tia King same , a few years ago I went to dye my hair for the first time. I had no clue of what the fuck should I do it so obviously I went to the hairdresser . They picked a nice color and now every time I go I just sit and let them do lol
Thank you for a really informative video! I go to a stylist who is not only a genius with the scissors, but a colour expert. As I have short hair, she uses baby-lights, two-tones, and gives me a flattering auburn blend. As I'm in my mid-fifties, she makes me look at least a decade younger, it is such a flattering style! I love Balayage and baby-lights - much more flattering than a block colour.
Thank yoooou!! I’m getting highlights for the first time and I literally said to my hairdresser what you said people tend to say at the beginning. Now I know how to communicate highlight preference. Xx
I just got my hair done and I wish I would’ve seen this before. I asked for something and my stylist didn’t understand and I got something totally different.
Stumbled across this video accidentally, so glad I did. Life changing!! Now I know why I’m waisting hundreds of dollars and not getting the result I want. So much power in knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
I was desperate to get a haircut on Christmas Eve and the only hairdresser who was open was a korean one who barely spoke english, I got SO scared and when she started I was like I'm screwed but ended up being the best haircut I ever got
OMG thank you for this!!!! I needed this so much and so timely since I'm ready to go back to the salon and need to be prepared to express what I really want them to do! xoxo
Thanks! You’re a great teacher Brad 💇🏼♀️ Balayage is a French term for Sweeping the colour. I think this will help a lot of us to know what to ask for on our next salon trip!
Tip: if you have VERY fine porous hair, for some reason, they absorb the toner even if it is a lighter color. Tested on myself. You basically can color your brown hair almost blond with just a toner. Go toner and don't bleach (if not for highlights).
I love my fine porous hair for this reason - it takes dye and toner so easily. I have lots of grey and it is zero issue to cover it and keep it covered! But on the other hand.. if a hairdresser who doesn't understand it gets near it that "light brown" hairdye ends up black on my hair.
Can we talk about how cute Brad look with his root color 😍
Yessir.
It's not fair. He can pull off literally every hair colour ♡
I looove this look!!
I know right?? And he says he doesn’t look good with darker hair.
Ikr he should keep it like this for a while 🥰
Honestly Brad doing my hair would be a dream, literally the only hairdresser I trust thoroughly lol. Who can relate?
Can totally relate! Ive tried so many hairdressers to get the perfect balyage and each hairdresser has just basically gave me highlights..not blended or anything😭😭
Rachel Holland yesss
Meh
Guy Tang tho..
Me too!!
The easiest explanation for toner versus dye is this: Dye will shift the color of your hair up or down (lighter or darker), while toner will shift the existing color along the spectrum right to left (warmer or cooler). Hope this helps someone who may not still understand.
Wow that’s a great way to help people comprehend toner vs hair color. Just like when your editing a photo.
Ooooooh thank you,
Ok that helps cause I had more questions lol

Why did I read it as Heir expert
And now we judge 👩⚖️ lol

One of the reason why I love Brad because he explains everything in detail + he clears all the doubt.

“Balayage”, French word, means “sweeping” 🧹
Marcellina4 ohhh that makes sense
Everything sounds so fancy is French. I would do that chore if my mom said "Balayage the kitchen."
Stephanie Goulet , omggggg , hahahahaha! 🧹😂🧹😂🧹😂🧹😂

Balayage is a noun derived from the verb balayer “to pass the broom” or to brush. in French. In case someone wanted to know, not sure any fox are given though.
Time Heals , clever. You crack me up!
In Paris (where all is beautiful but blonde hair of any kind will be murdered), balayage is used by french hairdressers to describe any kind of highlight and by highlight I mean saying your roots aren't long enough even at your cheekbones and by highlight I mean drenching your entire head in 40 percent volume bleach whilst claiming there is no such thing as a toner/gloss/colour.

I had patches of blond near crown and its been crumby thin since in those areas.😭Even after these years I think about it everytime I do my hair.. so now I just want a nice look...here i am studying before I go blindly to stylist. Your hair looks superb👌 btw.
A few years ago I decided I wanted blue hair and I bleached my hair myself. And I was like omg why is my hair yellow? But then I remembered color theory and dyed it dark purple and it turned into a pretty ashy blonde. I was so happy. xD Yay for toning.
I thought you wanted blue?
@@elliott209 you need a white blonde base if you want to go bright blue, if she put blue over the yellowy colour it would have gone green!
Fun Fact : "Balayer" in French means "to sweep" (like with a broom) :-D "balayage" means "sweeped" or more literally "a sweeping" :-P. 'J'ai balayé le sol' - 'I sweeped the floor'. "Un balais" = "a broom".
I just want to let you know that you saved me and can now tell my hairstylist about root smudging! Forever love you!
Thank you SO much for this. I’ve been in the process of going from plum purple box dye to blonde over the past year.
I’m finally at the stage of getting a full head of highlights on Friday, and my head will be blonde!
This vid has given me so much more confidence!
Love you 💕
THIS IS THE BEST
I'm always trying to explain with non-stylist terms and now I won't sound so confused lol. My hairdresser is gonna be like girl who you been talking to?! lol
I've literally been getting a full head of babylights for like 5 years and I always dread it because I have a ton of hair, so my hair appointments take like 4 hours - now I know there's a faster way!!!!!
Love love love this color on you! I miss having my hair salon colored. I had to quit my job to care for my Mom and that is one expense that had to go away. Love living vicariously through all your videos!
I get a full head of highlights everytime I go to the salon. I love them!!
Lady Steele yes , for example I get them blond and my whole hair looks full blond, but the highlights still pop. But it looks good if you do it right🤷🏼♀️
Brad you're doing the lord's work. It's one of my worst fears to be a dumb client but your channel has educated me THANK YOU!
Who else wants brad to do their hair? 😩.
Meeeeeeee
Mèeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedeeee toooooooo9
You couldn’t have done this before I ruined my hair like a week ago 😂
did you post a video?
Theresa Chacon no but there’s pics of it before and after on my insta
OMG SAMMMMME I DID MINE NEW YEAR AND IT BE FOOKED
OMG yeah for me it was perfect timing like dayumn he saved me 😂😂💕
I'm getting my hair done today for the first time ever... I only ever dyed it once with an Arctic Fox dye almost 7 years ago and that washed out in a month .-. I was so nervous and had no idea what to begin to ask for but thanks to your videos I feel allot more confident
i dont even wanna get my hair done im just here for brad and his energyyyyyyyyyyyy
I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall with my hair. I want to just sit in your chair and let you work your magic. Transform me. 😩
me: I'd like a balayage
literally almost every hair stylist in my area: ........???? What's that?
Yikes ohh noo
SAME IM SO PISSED
Ikr! It's so frustrating not having any trustworthy professional nearby, I think I'll end up doing my own hair
i’m getting one from my aunts niece who is my hair stylist today!
Um what? It’s a technique every hair stylist should know... that is concerning...
Why was this made literally the day before my hair appointment to get highlights
I found this literally after I went to the salon 😭😭
Melissa Guthrie same
This video was just recommended to me, two days before I get my balayage😂 UA-cam really do be spyin on us lol
Same
Lmaoo I have my appointment in 18 hours
I’m a VERY new stylist and this taught me SO MANY THINGS cosmetology school didn’t
I have my first color appointment a week from now and this video is going to be a life-saver. Thank you so much!
Last time I went to a stylist:
Stylist: We could do some highlights and really bring out your waves.
Me: Screw that, make it all purple.
Brad, do a video on people that have gray hairs on how to handle the roots after they've done these techniques you just showed.
I just love your personality, it’s so refreshing ❤️
CAN 👏🏼 WE 👏🏼 GET 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 CURLY 👏🏼 VERSION 👏🏼
YES PLEASE
AGREED
YESSS💗
If I’m not mistaken, the same procedures apply, just with curly hair, you’d start with straightening it first
Erin Moore that makes absolutely 0 sense. It wouldn’t look the same curly as it would straight. And not every curly person wants their hair straight.
Yessss living for this look! 😩❤️
Thanks Brad. You should get your cosmetology teacher license, if you don’t already have it, because your very good at getting people to understand the complexity of hair color.
When you discover what you get is actually called babylights and not just "hey girl, yes the usual"
I legit just asked my hairdresser for “bare highlights” and she gave me what I wanted sooo?? No fancy words needed 😂😂
Tia King what the f are bare lights?? Ahhaha
Say what ?
Tia King same , a few years ago I went to dye my hair for the first time. I had no clue of what the fuck should I do it so obviously I went to the hairdresser . They picked a nice color and now every time I go I just sit and let them do lol
Are you British bc I feel like I understood this comment? 😂😂
@@BradMondo it means lots of highlights 😂
Thank you for a really informative video! I go to a stylist who is not only a genius with the scissors, but a colour expert. As I have short hair, she uses baby-lights, two-tones, and gives me a flattering auburn blend. As I'm in my mid-fifties, she makes me look at least a decade younger, it is such a flattering style! I love Balayage and baby-lights - much more flattering than a block colour.
If you post something- I click! Before even reading the title 😭✌🏽😂
🙋
"who is that? I don't know anyone named root smudge!" 🤣 Yep that's me, so thank you Brad
Same though
Thank yoooou!!
I’m getting highlights for the first time and I literally said to my hairdresser what you said people tend to say at the beginning. Now I know how to communicate highlight preference.
Xx
Damn I needed this!! Can you go through how to find a good new stylist??
I just got my hair done and I wish I would’ve seen this before.
I asked for something and my stylist didn’t understand and I got something totally different.
Stumbled across this video accidentally, so glad I did. Life changing!! Now I know why I’m waisting hundreds of dollars and not getting the result I want. So much power in knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Best video I've watched today regarding hair lightening. I've been wanting to go blonder for so long.
Brad Mondo your my fav person ever, thx for always explaining :p
Love this video. PLEASE go into more technical details about root shadows and how you like to do them. Sounds fascinating.
deadass question: what if my hairdresser barely knows english
Show them a picture of what you're wanting!
Use google translate?
RUN!!!
Pictures work well.
I was desperate to get a haircut on Christmas Eve and the only hairdresser who was open was a korean one who barely spoke english, I got SO scared and when she started I was like I'm screwed but ended up being the best haircut I ever got
This is exactly what I needed before my hair appointment 💕 thank you angel
I’ve never seen any of brads videos and then yesterday it popped up on my timeline, I’m obsessed !!! Been binge watching during this quarantine 😂❤️😀
little did he know that the “money piece” would morf into e-girl hair
But... worse...
OMG thank you for this!!!! I needed this so much and so timely since I'm ready to go back to the salon and need to be prepared to express what I really want them to do! xoxo
Thanks! You’re a great teacher Brad 💇🏼♀️ Balayage is a French term for Sweeping the colour. I think this will help a lot of us to know what to ask for on our next salon trip!
Some people do balayage with foils called foilyage
Tip: if you have VERY fine porous hair, for some reason, they absorb the toner even if it is a lighter color. Tested on myself. You basically can color your brown hair almost blond with just a toner. Go toner and don't bleach (if not for highlights).
I love my fine porous hair for this reason - it takes dye and toner so easily. I have lots of grey and it is zero issue to cover it and keep it covered! But on the other hand.. if a hairdresser who doesn't understand it gets near it that "light brown" hairdye ends up black on my hair.
What color of toner for example?
