FTR - I'm also just a girl standing in front of a mirror, asking it to lighten my roots.
I've pinned this before but here it is again! I leave this stuff for about 15-20 minutes.
Thank you - that was my only question! Your'e so cute, love your sense of humor... reminds me of me.... (just complimented myself, did you get that?). :D
Can you write the name of the product you used? I am deaf.
ligia sarmiento jolen creme bleach
u give me courage to try new things...i am psyched
I love ur jolen video. Thx so much for sharing
I saw this video about 2 years ago and right away bought Jolen, but I didn’t use it until yesterday. The Jolen product had an expiration date of 2021, so it has been 2 years expired and I still went ahead and used it. Instead of using a butter knife, I used a watercolor brush… the skinniest one, just like the watercolor brush that came with that coloring set that we used during our elementary education. Anyway, I cut the bristles of the brush in half to make it more manageable… and it was much easier to handle. And the result was better than the boxed set. FYI, I have black brown hair and the highlights were honey in color… light but soft. I am so pleased. Thank you so much for your video. Oh, I waited for an hour before I rinsed my hair because my hair is coarse and thick 😊
I used a 3 year expired Jolen. Still worked out great!
Finally, a beauty blogger who isn't nauseating and precious! Love your video!
Hope you meant precocious
I tried this last night with a regular old highlighting kit that comes with a cap. Parted my hair and even did the sides around my face. Used a mirror to do the back. The knife works better than a toothbrush, fork, the brushes that come with the kits, etc. It came out gorgeous. I look like a sun goddess.(okay, an ugly sun goddess) Brilliant idea! Best I've ever seen!
Yay! Good job!
No love..a Goddess ..women are warriors ,we have to be ..don't put yourself down ✊
@@sophiew1967 ❤️❤️❤️❤️True!!
I did a patch test and loved the result so I did my ash blonde roots...but just the top hair...not underneath. Trying to get out of the all-over bleaching jobs at the salon...tired of them. Just wanted to soften my top roots so they don’t look so stark. This stuff works fabulously. Who knew! I absolutely love the result! No orange whatsoever! Just a lovely golden blonde color...very natural looking. Only needed to leave it on for 10 minutes! I’m done with expensive and inconvenient salon appointments for good!!!! Done with walking around with long stark roots in between salon sessions too. Wow! THANK YOU so much Skip2mylou! You’re the best to share this wonderful solution, with us ladies. ♥️
This is crazy. It's cheap, takes only 20 min & looks better than the expensive, time-consuming foil highlights my hairdresser does. My hair is brownish so it looks diff. on me, but it's gorgeous, not brassy at all. It costs around $8 on Amazon. The only thing I changed was using a plastic knife :)) Thank you for posting. Who would have guessed this actually works?
Do you have a picture
Post a pic!
@@lauramaresh5229 Can you even posts pics on youtube? lol
Good video ! Great place to start for those who wanna give it a go at home (and fall in love with having some control over thier hair and wallet)
I always lift/color my hair at home - although I grew up in a salon and then worked in one as a young adult I have had plenty trial and error. I am sure that you're not a fool and you know your hair.
However, to my knowledge you should never use anything metal while bleaching/coloring your hair. It can have a bad reaction- and, well - that's no fun.
PSA
Experiment with paint brushes, small sponge brushes or fun shaped and angled salon style color brushes. Depending on the amount of time I have, supplies, patience, regrowth, and desired result I freehand/balyage or cap highlight or put in a few foils in the face framing and crown area. You can freehand paint bleach but consider the following things below :
Bleach expands (think foamy) overtime after you mix it. Watch out for any bleeding or transfer of the bleach onto unwanted areas. Otherwise you could end up looking like a spotted leopard and not a cute one either. Wella has a great clay consistency balyage bleach - but I do not recommend it if you need more than 4 levels of lift. There are a few bleach tubs/packs by l'oreal that lift well and two by Ion, all at Sally's. .
FYI.
If your bleach dries out - it stops lifting. So depending upon your bleach brand, use 2 units of developer to 1 unit of bleach. You could go a bit over 2.
Lift a bit more than you think you need, without surpassing the time recommended by the manufacturer. You can always tone it later. But, keep it as far away as possible from your scalp since your scalp gives off heat and this is what helps cause "hot roots" or abnormal lighter color spot just at the root area closest to the scalp.
If this happens, tap your root area with a color a shade lighter or same as your natural or background color. Then tone. Do not do it opposite as you run the list of lifting your hot roots even further.
If you are toning, obviously use the opposite color base to counteract orange/yellow. If you want your hair and highlights a bit brighter go with a 10-20 volume developer (but beware on your darker hair as it will lighten it a bit and it can bring out a bit of brass in darker shades since blonde toners (ex. Wella T18) actually do not have the right amount of violet or blue or green tones for darker hair that has pulled Brass. You will then be stuck with super ashy light highlights and brassy base undertones.
If you want to try and avoid that situation and are okay with simply zapping the Brass in your highlights use a deposit only developer (wella also makes one, used for semi permanent color charm line) but keep an eye on it depending on the toner. I prefer to tone my root area with a semi permanent level 7-8 with ash or cool undertones then apply a T18 wella blonde toner or a semi permanent 10-11 with ash/cool tones.
Hope this ridiculously long comment helps someone !
OMG thanks for posting this video tip. I did my hair this morning with my regular Garnier Nutrisse Multi-Lights Highlighting Kit because it's very thick no cap needed, and it worked great!!!!! It took me a couple tries to figure out how to get the knife blade coated correctly. After that it was a breeze. And my hair came out looking great. NO MORE chunky streaks. This knife trick IS the bomb!!
This is an amazing trick! I have dark blonde base and have not been to my stylist due to covid. The outcome was absolutely beautiful. Very subtle not too much but took the harsh line of my roots away. I am so happy with the results and will be doing this on all my roots!
Who’s here because salons are closed right now? #covid19 Thanks for the tips!
L. R. Now where to find the bleach..
#COVID19 has me here!! Ffs 🤣
Me too😊Wow that looked so professional👍
Me!
Yes me too 😂Still a bit scared to do my own though😬
I love that you tell people to do this on dirty hair. My mother (not a hairdresser) taught me that, too.
I tried this stuff, works well, but instead of just making lines with a little applicator. I glob it across the roots and combed it through. Worked great.
Can i just PLEASE say I absolutely adore you, I was having a crappy day and my hair just made me hate the world more - i watched your video twice just for the comic relief and again for the actual hair bit 🤣 you are a legend
Thank you! She cracks me up and she is so beautiful!
Thank you so much for your video. Jolen costs so much less than other kits and works at least as well. I used a dollar store toothbrush, the tail end of it to touch up roots, and ten minutes later the brush end of it to pull the cream from the roots to the ends to create brighter highlights. It worked perfect. I never would have thought to try this if I hadn't seen your video.Thanks again.
Autumnoel So glad it worked for you!
I've officially done this SEVERAL TIMES NOW!! and it's the quickest easiest most accurate way yet so far🥰🥰🤩🤩😍😍
Yay!
I will say I'll typically do a Lil more but carefully of course and I've used diff products and it works with all of them so far😁 I'll leave the box dyes for longer than the good stuff😉
I did a trial run and left it on about 11 minutes
it blends beautiful with my outgrown highlights!
I have to redo it because I wanted to just do where I part my hair.
Great video.
Thank you!
I remember doing this many many years ago. So glad to see you putting it out there for everyone else to see. I loved the way it worked. Looks great!
Tried this with a highlighting kit, just used a plastic knife instead. And it looks amazing! So much easier than a toothbrush which I used to use. thanks for posting!!
Kirsten Faurot Yes, I don’t think your suppose to use metal because a chemical reaction can occur. It worked for her though🤩👍🏻
@@christienelson1437 tin foils have metal in them
@@joycejnn The dye you use has to be safe with metal or oxidation occurs. Look it up they discourage using metal bowl to mix your hair dye in or metal combs.
@@christienelson1437 but tinfoil that they use in highlights has metal in it
@@joycejnn But aluminum has a different chemical makeup so I think it's okay. Or maybe not and that's why the foils are not coated with color on them?
I do my own hair and thought this method is so clever. I tried it on myself. I used 20 developer and blue powder. It worked better than any other way! Omg. So easy so little product needed. I’m gonna do it again in a few months.
25 years ago a friend of mine who was a student hair dresser did this to my hair with jolen too.thanks so much for reminding me of the good old days.i will surely do this ..cause it really doesnt damadge the hair as hair bleach does.
I just did your knife highlights and it worked. I did the opposite. I dyed my hair blonde and added med brown to my roots and highlights. Came out great! Thanks!
I'm so going to do this! I'm so tired of spending a ton of money at the salon I go to, and all she is doing is burning my hair off. This seems safer than all over.
Hi there! I watched your video a couple of times. Bought the Jolen, used the knife method & I didn't leave it on long enough. But 5 days later, I went at it again & WOW! I look fantastic! It was exactly what I was looking for. So glad I saw you. Thanks for your advice! :) Easy, mess free & I can always put the top part of my hair up & do the underneath another day. ;)
Necessity is the mother of invention! Glad you had the balls to try it out! I love the way you described everything!
Thank you so much for you video. I have added these highlights using the facial bleach. It is so non damaging and economical. Used to streak my hair with a cap with a lot stronger bleach, or pay a lot for foils at a hairdresser. Not using dark dyes anymore for the silvers coming through due to reports of dangers of that, will just use this for highlights all over now. Beauty of it is you can redo highlights in various stages to lift them to the required level, over a period of time, and section hair to do underl ayers and sides if you do you your hair up.
Great idea!! Thank you ❤️ I always hated how they would NEVER get the lightener right up next to the root. I don’t know why but this looks so much better
I am a retired a cosmetologist and makeup artist and this is just blowing me away well guess what I'm going to try it and if it doesn't work and don't take nothing to straighten it out because I know what I'm doing but this may be something people really might oughta really look into and save a lot of money but I would use Wella products are a Armstrong I would not use drugstore products that that is Justin me L'Oreal has some pretty good stuff but yeah Beauty Supply House cuz I still even though I'm retired I still get all my products and navy my shampoos conditioners everything because I use it with my kids and my grandchildren I've got 13 great-grandkids yeah and I buy the shampoo by the gallon and the conditioner sit pays off it really does you get so you can quite a bit for you bang at Sally's
Literally I'm a hairdresser and you have made me want to try this.
Same
I’m a hairdresser too! I just love watching hair tutorials. She’s cute, has a great personality and is honest! I love it :)
Did any of you try it? Did it work just like balayage with a knife?
Please please help...I really need to know how I should dye my roots which are 2/3rds grey , and get the same color as my 1/3rd brown hair..obviously it comes 2 colors,lighter where there is the grey,and darker where there is the brown..which I then need to match with my copper dyed hair..I can never match them even when using the same dye color.Can you help me out? I can't afford going to the hairdressers every 3/4 weeks

Wait - how did u wash it out w/o scrunching the hair together and having bleach rinse through the rest of the hair? Thanks and terrific job!
I loved the knife technique ! I use t use Jolene on my roots until I left it on too long & my hair broke off at the roots -It looked liked a Mohawk! do not leave it on too long!
Janice Ellen Cosentino SAME! I wouldn’t recommend Jolene any longer than 5 minutes.
We used this in the 80s to streak our hair, don’t know why I didn’t think of it now. I’m going grey and will miss my dark brown hair but it’s time to try some highlights and I think this will be perfect!
I use this stuff too, works great for adding subtle yet beautiful blonde highlights!
Thank you!!! This was just the kind of tutorial I was looking for: no emphasizing how ever professional and careful you have to be before making any try!!!
I think that what the person that said they're a hairstylist was trying to say, lol, was u r not supposed to ever use metal with bleach. I'm a hairstylist too and we were always told to never use a. Metal clips and anything metal that could touch the bleach. Your hair could start smoking from the chemical reaction.
Yes thats fine. Just no metal at all.
Not hair foil but Reynold's food foil is. Make sure you buy actual hair foil.
i always did with food foil ... so its a bulshit .. had never prob at all and i bet is the sme foil as the one for hair
Probably because this stuff is a lot milder then the bleach in the salon 💇
Isnt aluminum foil a metal too?
This is 40 years old, started in France I think. Instead of using a knife, I was taught to use a wide tooth comb, squeeze out the bleach/color on the comb "exclamation points" (start at the tip of the twine of the comb with a large amount, then taper off to a smaller amount on the twine), then drag the comb through the roots. Only worked for dark blonde hair as it's not precise enough and darker hair will show the imprecision. I like this because you can be more precise but it's still a fast way of doing it. Lifting up each strand and "painting" is very time consuming!
I knew there had to be an easier way to do highlights. I was going to try something similar but the knife idea is great. Thank you for sharing. The videos was well made too. This was very helpful.
Omg going to get this, just what i need, i also hate that they never get close enough in the parting highlight. Thank you Thank you Thank you 😘👏💇♂️🧖♀️❤
I'm totally trying this! Last time my mom pulled hair through a cap and I could have cried it hurt so bad lol. I kept thinking beauty is pain.
I am a master colorist and I thought I should leave a quick Warning: This is Not something that will work on just any shade of hair. This would only lift one-two shades at best and a natural blonde color, if your lucky maybe some with darker blonde. Still, the color would lean to a more gold or brassy tone. Definitely not what you want to use when trying to achieve more of a bright platinum or creamy beige tone. Anyone with med- darker hair would definitely find themselves with more a red, orange, yellow/gold or brassy tone.
😂
Can you do this for lowlights?
Oh pleeeeze let it be.. many of us appreciate the DIYs so buzz off..b'bye
@@suzieparis6821Exactly 😂😂 my sister is a master stylist as well. She owns her own salon in Manhattan NY. She herself is shocked at how well some people do their own hair at home with these simple tips that actually work. She says there’s always going to be someone that has something negative to say about anything and everything.
@@suzieparis6821, charming ! 😝
“Not bad for an at home job”
Lady, I’ve paid for highlights that haven’t come out as good as this lol it’s way better than “not bad”, trust me.
Agreed! My sis in law paid £60 last summer and still had half inch roots! (She's a bit timid so me an another sis had to drag her back to complain) ok, fair do- the salon fixed it for free, but hell! This aint bad at all!!!
I know, right??
Thank you! I used to buy regular home hair bleach kits, $15 or so, and use the brushes, and it
never quite turned out right. This is so easy, and cheaper!
You are hilarious. I'm so uptight about trying something new on my hair....make up can be removed, hair is with you a lot longer! Anyway, found you via Google question about highlights and I'm so glad. You're a breath of fresh air on UA-cam. Please do more! - Edit: this was supposed to go with your 'highlights from the beginning' vid.
HA! I did this today and it worked perfectly! I followed your instruction followed by a toner and my hair looks great!
Thanks for the awesome suggestion! Love it and did it today! It's WAAAAY easier and it'll only take me a couple tries to get a great technique going. Did a great job of lightening my roots! And it was super quick! Thank you! You made my weekend 😁
Good video. I use very small elastic bands and section of about 10 or 15 hair strands of about 1 cm and then bleach them,, comes out fine on top of dark short hair and helps blend in greys.
So incredibly simple. Thanks much. I tend to complicate stuff and then become overwhelmed to the point of not wanting to try something. I needed to see your method. Big hugs to you.
+Amelia Wilfinger Thank you! This is so easy, not overwhelming. :)
I've been using this for years on my eyebrows and I also did use it for highlighting for a while. I'm going go back do doing that. Thanks for the video.
Hi, with hairdressers closed with covid 19, I'm definitely going to try this. Tks for sharing.
Joan McKee me too... had to cancel my hair appt last week. 😢
Same!!
I just tried it today, because I had to cancel my appointment that was scheduled yesterday. It worked pretty well for a touch up! Next time I might leave it in for a few more minutes (I had it in for about 10 minutes (because I was a little nervous) after I was done with the last touch up, but would do 15 next time). It definitely worked well around my face on the little baby hairs:).
@@jennyluna632 Hi, how coarse is your hair and what colour you use usually? I am asking because that timing m ight be suitable for mid-coarse hair and/or dark blond or light brown hair (same as my hair).
I'm trying this tonight. I am so scared but trust you after watching your video with the lightening powder and 40 developer. my friend's hair turned out great!! Thanks Lou, love watching you!
I've watched your videos, they're so good. You are really creative 👌 I have a question though. Does this bleach cause graying of hair or any kind of damage if done once a month?
I’ve just subscribed, love the result! Wow! Thanks so much for making this so easy! 🙌 Going to try this, as I just don’t seem to always get the result from hairdressers, it can be “hit & miss” at times! Occasionally, I’m just looking for “feature foils”, in the places I’d like them…which they won’t do, as they’ll only do half or full head foils & I’m not always requiring that. Love the way you applied across your hair, I’ll try that approach too! 💗
Worked out good for me! It was really, really easy and I'm happy with how it turned out! Thank you for sharing this video! 👍
Saw another home highlights tutorial using top edge of plastic comb; might be an alternative to using metal butter knife (since 1 comment mentioned metal & bleach prods aren’t great combinations). But this is perfect, and cheap too - thx so much!
maybe a throwaway plastic knife too
Loved the video, I would've never thought to use that stuff and finished result looked great! You're very easy to watch , your funny personality comes through and the music was better than that usual crap people put on their tutorials! I'm a new subscriber
Thank you!
I’ve done this before but also easy to do with a plastic fork and plastic knife because I have really thick hair. Makes it easier to do just the bottom for a biolayge (sp?) look. I wouldn’t use metal as an applicator only because different metals can have different chemical reactions. You can also use a toothbrush and dab in different areas if you’re not ready for full highlights. And because the cream is thick you do need to rinse a lot especially off your scalp.
Third time touching up my highlights with your method! Fabulous 🤩 thank you soooo much!!!
I saw your updated version of dying your hair it's so funny I do it the same way but I use just for men beard and mustache color. When you streak it's perfectly your hair tends to look like a tigers stripes, if you do it sporadically throughout your roots it actually looks a little more natural. Love you Lou
Omg your videos are unbelievable!
I’m stuck inside due to the 🦠 and hair looks hellish...
I wanna cheer myself up by having a full pamper day in my bathroom...
So have subbed! Sorry London was gloomy when you came it’s beautiful here today....😂
Hope you’re well n stay safe.....Thanks with love! 🙏🏼💕
Thanks! good video. Have you ever used the kind called Tints of Nature? I guess it's a "natural" color. Just wondering if it works. Do you use a couple of mirrors to do the back? Maybe you've already answered that. I haven't read all the comments....
Social distancing is preventing highlights from my hairdresser. Grew up blonde so always highlighting to look blonde. But now it is brown so have brown roots, always go 7 weeks to hairdresser to get blonde highlights. Can't go now. Should I try this Jolen with brown hair--leave it on LONG since my hair is naturally brown?? Don't want orange!!! Usually takes over half hour to come up when my gal does it. Scared but desperate to be blonde again. I have 2 inch outgrowth. Suggestions??? Thanks anybody??
You can try a test strand first to see what color comes up with this method. Leaving it in longer won't make it blonder, it runs its process and then stops anyway. You may want to check out this video ua-cam.com/video/0nEjM9b46lI/v-deo.html and instead of going all the way down, only paint the dark roots. Good luck! You can do it!!
so, so nice of you cant wait to try. i like the whole take of throwing everything behind you. very cute . made watching worth while with your personality and all. thank you for sharing with us all.
I think it would be easier to use a thin paint brush, but this is very cool too!
I use an eye shadow brush . It's much easier to hold & v accurate.
Love your real personality. I don’t know if u will see this because the video is so old. But do u think I could do the same concept in reverse? I am growing out my natural gray hair and thinking of doing exactly what you did:but with a dark color breaking up the skunk line! What do u think? Thanks
Love this! I really need a root touch up on my at-home highlights I did last year. Deffinitally going to try this so I don't have to re-highlight my whole head
I have been touching up since I saw your London one this way. I did foils was expensive and just used Frost and tip brand and a plastic tool that comes in that kit. My reason is that the cap is not working for me it's painful I have tried to pull the hair since I was a teen. Dont know how to use that. I did your way twice this week love it!
10 seconds into the vid and i already subscribed lol you're so cool
Thanks. I may give this a try, as I'm not getting the results that I want,(I don't like foil root gap either), at salons & now my hair has grown out, during the lockdown, I may go back to doing it myself....I have the John Frieda, Blonding spray, but I'm not sure how to do that to separate strands & for it not to spray over onto other strands.....
Thank you. This is fast and easy . You gotchyoself a new sub! When I need a root job and I don’t have a lot of time to do it this is great!
❓I do have one question tho.. I’ve been doing my own hair for as long as I can remember and I use Sally’s products (Quick Blue/30V on roots then a toner T18 with a couple drops of T50). I’ve always been told NOT to use metal or steel when processing my hair. I guess it causes a reaction to the product. I see that you used a butter knife ....that’s steel or metal right? How come your able to use it without getting a product reaction???
Thanks again !
Hi! I don't know really... It makes you wonder why they use foil when highlighting if metal has a reaction?
@@heylouzers HELP! I saw your video around 1yr ago and I decided to do this on a whim... 🤯 to highlight the little section around my face, and its brassy orange. 🤦🏼♀️ I let my natural hair grow(dirty blonde) I was advised by a friend and bought T18 and 20 process, but I'm scared to do it😟. Its my 1st attempt ever doing anything like this myself...
Fyi I used the blue shampoo and it brightened the brassiness... Should I bleach again or do T18 process? Any advice is appreciated so much.
Thanks, Eileen
Look's great ! I use to use "Jolen" to put a streak in my hair. It work quick . I remember putting that stuff on my face because I had peach fuzz ,I don't think I needed it . It burned the crap out if my face and gave a great sunburn look .
I am isolated because of Covid-19 and had to cancel my hair appt. I might try this... thank you so very much!
I now have a pixie cut and I just tried on a part of my head which could be hidden if it did not turn out for some reason....WELL, IT DID WORK for me and looks great. My hair is golden blonde with highlights, and this worked really well. I will let my hair get a bit dirty again and do the rest of my head. I used a plastic knife, even though you had no problems, Lou, I noticed that the little stirring paddle is plastic...so I went with plastic and left it on for about 15 minutes--then washed my hair in the shower. This could not have been easier and I keep going back to my mirror to check it out. This is great and the color is soft and my hair shines so it did not burn it. Many thanks for a great tip. Jolen cost me $5.69 in CVS today and with a $3.00 off coupon--$2.69! My hair dresser wanted to charge me $80.00 to highlight a pixie :-(.
Absolutely the best video I've ever watched on UA-cam! It was sincerely a pleasure to learn from you.
+Venus1ntx Thank you!
thanks again
Love this, and you're so much fun to watch!☺
Will it turn hair red? Messed up my roots(gray) with an 8N root touch-up by Revlon and now the tops too dark. I look like Dog the Bounty Hunter. Can I use this on top of that?
This fine. Great didn't it we learn something new everyday and I are retired cosmetologist people you know your hair is not hard to do I think girls are just spoil too and they want to be pampered in I guess that's okay if that's what you want but I could spend my money out of the things like a new outfit and you purse a new pair of shoes rubbing spending all that money at the salon when I can do it myself and do it better and you probably could too but you just don't have enough confidence you never do it one time you won't go back and guess what if you mess up its hair it will grow back it is not the end of the world that's how we live and learn doing hair is so simple but if you working in the public doing hair that's a different store because you have to know all this skin and scalp diseases you have to know the whole anatomy of the body do you think that it does not apply and cosmetology well yes it does you're not a dermatologist but you have to deal with a lot of skin disorders and scalp disorders true
A natural way to do it is to mix regular 3% peroxide you can get at the dollar store, drug or grocery store , mixed with baking soda. Apply to hair, using your fingers, or whatever you choose, cover with a cap or even a grocery bag, let sit for about 20 to 30 minutes, then wash it out. Cheap, easy, and it works! Your hair turned out pretty :)
You’re going to put us professionals out of business! You did great! It’s amazing how nice of a blonde that turned out no orange. Who would have thought.
looks awesome!... I'm gonna try this on my hair but it's a lot darker than yours. How long did you leave the product in? 20 minutes? 30 minutes?
You will be able to see it lightening. I usually leave mine in for about 20 minutes.
Thanks!
I just tried your method... it is BY FAR THE BEST I'VE EVER TRIED!!!!It gave me blonde-caramel highlights at the roots and did not damage the rest where I have natural henna. Love love love it! Tomorrow I will do my henna (mixture of blonde, black and red) and this will lock in the color and add extra shine until I get another 3/4 inch or so of roots. (about 6-8 weeks) Thank you for posting your video! You da bomb!

Yay! So glad it worked for you!
I can already tell this is going to be a video for me. I'm in need of a retouch
BRILLIANT!! I haven't tried it yet, but it 'feels' so much easier than home 'foils' for highlights. Has anyone tried lowlights with this concept?
I love this video. You have a very pleasant energy. It suits mine.
I like my mother, but I wish you were my neighbor.
- And I appreciate great DIYs, and I find this one very helpful.
Thank you for this! Is there enough in the box to do more than just the one part in the hair? I’m kind of afraid to try it but it costs $200 and four hours for highlights (at SuperCuts , no less) & it looks patchy when they do it! Yours looks great and, as you said, closer to the roots than foils will allow. Maybe just framing the face to rid the dreaded root line might be a good start..
Great video! I hate when ppl go on and on. You got right to the point! I think my hair is about the same natural color, I think. I'm a medium ash brown. I hope that I can find that jolen name brand. I'll let you know. Thanks for the great video.
I found it in couple places!
+Christy Bernard Great!
WHERE DID YOU FIND IT ?
+Fernando Ramos Kmart
It's usually bought as a mustache bleach.
I've just touched up 1/2 inch roots on my light brown/dk blond highlighted hair, using koleston perfect 7/0 + 8/0 ... I covered over some of my med blond highlights, and wondered if this technique would work for my newly touched up light brown/dk blond highlighted hair ... THANK YOU
Hi huny,
How do you do crown and sides of face above ears please?
If anyone reading this knows, please let me know? 💕
Omg this is amazing! Your hair looks unbelievably beautiful! And you have a great style doing tutorialsl! I know this video is really old but it only just came up in my feed now. I have watched about 30 videos on how to colour your hair blonde at home in the last 48 hours and felt ready to try it but also a little apprehensive, but after watching yours I am so ready and confident. Thank you so much! Your comments about salon foiling never getting close enough to the roots was so relatable, its really frustrating to pay hundreds of dollars in the salon to then walk out with a two week regrowth already.
Would you say your natural hair colour at the roots is dark brown or brown or dark blonde?
Also, did you have to use a toner afterwards? What about any hair treatments and what sort of shampoo and conditioner did you use? Thank you.
My natural color is dark blonde. I should tone, but I don’t😳
@@heylouzers do you still use this method ?
Wow. I've got short hair and have used half a typical box of hair color (its a challenge to divide all the parts). This looks like the answer to that problem! Can just use the Jolen for my hair.
so the bowl, brush and developer you threw over your shoulder is the EXACT SAME THING THAT CAME IN YOUR DOLLAR STORE BLEACH KIT, ONLY SMALLER.what a dope.you don't have to apply with a brush, its there for mixing. you can apply with your freakin finger if you want. EXCELLENT tutorial for those who want the orange stripes in your hair like this guru has. good luck !
So true same
Amazing idea and great lesson here. Thank you!!
Wow! I didn’t know you could do that with fácil bleaching cream. I like the result!
Thanks for the tip!
It looks like a quick, non messy natural hair highlights. Thank you!
Gonna do it with haircolor.. steel gray on my gray almost white hair.. been dreading using a cap.. if its to runny i might thicken it with cornstarch... thank you
"Look out for that! It's glass!" 😂😂💀 Love it!
That was just what I was looking for- a nice easy way to do highlights yourself. Thank you! Can you do the back too? Could you put your hair in a ponytail to do underneath?
did some one show you this ? because it's genius
ok I am going to try this this method this weekend Lou. My only issue is my hair is much darker than yours and I have a lot of grays that I typically cover 1st before the highlights/bleaching,,,,,i will let you know how it turns out lol
Love your videos and I subscribed! I'm a long time at home highlight girl, but looking for new techniques. I will be referring to these vids tomorrow! 👍
I'm thinking you can probably go thicker with them & saturate a little bit more and maybe it'll cover more
Have you tried doing a long streak? I mean all the way down to the end of the hair
That is what I was thinking. Think I'd have to do mine all the way down....maybe just do a few at a time, as it sounds like you can't leave this stuff on for very long.
Don't take it all the way down. Only on new growth. You can easily over process and damage hair that way
Wonder if this method would work doing dark lowlights on grey hair?
this is so simple yet so smart!
This is great, but do you think it will work if I use the bw2 and 30 with concoction? You are so adorable and funny! Thank you!
Awesome !! Would any facial-hair bleach product work?? Also, how do you keep up with the ash tone? I think bleaching usully make the hair looks brassy. Yours seem like a perfect cold color!
+ellika Yes, any face bleach product works!
Loved your video! Thanks for taking the time to post it....Im off to make my hair gorgeous☺
