    New here, as well! I'm a cosmetology student and I find these videos so useful. One thing I didn't know is that you aren't supposed to paint every section. That's what I've been doing. I have been painting every single section, and I've also noticed lots of bleeding so I know I'm using too much product. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge!!! I hope I can become a better stylist, and I think by sharing your techniques and tips and tricks it can really help people like me who LOVE what they do but still have their struggles.

    • @TheLifeOfHair
      @TheLifeOfHair  4 роки тому +1

      Wonderful L generally speaking are use a normal blue powder bleach mixed and at 1 to 1.5 ratio so that is 40 g of peroxide to 35 g of powder if I don’t want maximum left or I’m worried about the condition when I’m overlapping sometimes I will use a freehand bleach

    like allways, amazing videos. such a simple tecknique and so beatifull. great job, thak you james!!
    here is the question.
    Wold you use lightener 10-0 with 30 vol. rather than the bleache pawder, if it wold be virgin hair ?

    • @TheLifeOfHair
      @TheLifeOfHair  2 роки тому

      Yes you could do that providing that it had a reasonably thick consistency that would be okay

    • @sergioj2735
      @sergioj2735 2 роки тому

      thanks a lot for your commitment with teaching us.
      the thick consistency actually was a problem, since i use 30 gr of 10/0 with 30ml 30vol. as it is writen by the factory if you like to lift 3 levels of tone.
      by the way, what is less harmless for the hair, using the 10/0 or the bleaching powder ?

    • @TheLifeOfHair
      @TheLifeOfHair  5 років тому +1

      I usually use 30vol, yes absolutely i use plastic for a bit more lift should I require it. And no it's not brickwork Because of the depth of the sections there is no real need. Hope that helps thank you for you comment 👍🏻😃

      Sorry I have a few questions... Thinking of when the regrowth comes through and how their next treatment would look... Or do you extra work would be needed to do before I moved them over to balayage?
      I have been out of hair for a while and have never done it before.
      Also is there a particular tinting brush that you prefer?
      Many thanks.

  • @debbigale9455
    @debbigale9455 5 років тому +2

    If you are truly only surface painting, why not do a horizontal section to paint instead of a triangle section? The hair underneath at the bottom point of the Triangle isn’t getting colored if you’re surface painting only. I can see if your brush was going deeper into the hair at the bottom that it would affect it. Because the bottom part of section would have more solid ends and some highlite up the middle of the triangle But not if it’s surface only

    • @TheLifeOfHair
      @TheLifeOfHair  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Debbie thanks for the question so in a nutshell i an using triangular sections to help people understand that balayage is as much about the hair you about hair you dont paint then the hair you do paint. i hope that helps explain it better for you. 👍🏻😀

      To refresh all of the hair is simply paint the sections in between the sections that I painted for instance I take triangle sections and paint a V shaped section If you want to refresh all the hair you simply paint the hair that is left in between the triangular shaped sectionsHope this makes sense let me know if it doesn’t 😁👍🏻

    Your work looked impeccable but honestly the Balayage Highlighting Result did not show up in the video... clients want to see ATLEAST 3 to 4 levels difference the next morning for the price of Balayage. Maybe it was bad lighting. I’ve been licensed since 1993 and I really could not see the contrast. I just take your word it looked great because of your usual excellent work consistency and level of expertise in educating us with great videos.

      I think you had a hard time seeing the result because it is a very subtle technique he used, and he stated that this technique wasn't meant for getting people very light. This would have been perfect for my client I had the other day, she only wanted 1 level of lift.
