ABOUT ME
Hey guys! I am a Canadian beauty "guru" - lol not really. I just love makeup, hair, fashion, design.. and I enjoy documenting these things. I'm not a false-eyelash, perfect nails, hair extensions kind of girl. My channel is for the everyday person - the lazy person, the person who colours their hair crazy colours once in a while, the person who has a budget and can't afford tons of expensive shit, the person who skips steps in the stereotypical beauty routine. This channel is evolving into something I'm really proud of. Join the fun, subscribe if you want, and we can be everyday people together. Y'know, if you like that kinda thing.
Wow! As a licensed stylist I am impressed!! Go get licensed!!! You're a natural!!
Lien H would this work on black hair by not putting the bleach all threw the hair?
Yes even I have the same question. Can we not use bleach and achieve similar color through hair dye for dark hair
Pankaj Gangwani nope you need bleach but if you’re worried about health and damage, include olaplex if you can grab your hands on it
faheemah U what is olaplex?

Great video. I watched this last summer when my teenager wanted a balayage and she loved it. She had a stylist ask where she got it done when she got a haircut and she proudly said, "my mom did it." I'm going to do it again this weekend for her. Thank you!
F-Bomb Mom what did you use to tone it
I was only able to find a 8ash Permanant will it have the same effect if I use with 10 volume
@@saralopez9063 This may be a bit late, but 10 volume might not be enough. 30-35 seems like the safest bet, a 40 would work too! Although I suggest being weary of how long you leave stronger developers on :)
When a stylist ask where it isn't a compliment 😂
this is a great tutorial thanks! i used it when prepping to lighten my cousin's hair. one thing to mention for anyone doing this: when you saturate the ends, make sure to lift up the hair piece to look at the back/bottom side and make sure you don't have a harsh line there (blend it with the V shape like you would on the front/top side)!! very important! i didn't do this the first time so there were a few pieces with a harsh line and couldnt figure out why initially!
I followed your tutorial and did it on my friend, she was so happy with the results!! You are amazing! You should get your license 👍🏼
Hello @swane may i know all the things needed?
Jevamie Pialago l’oréal bleach, 30 developer, and a toner
i bleached my whole head and this is what i used
@@samanthac6593 any alternative for toners? i want just a lighter brown caramel sort of shade so wht do i use ? i got a 30 developer and bleach but i wanna do my tips of my head only cuz my hair is virgin dark brown hair wht do i doo , never touched my hair
"not a professional" well it sure looks like something you'd pay crazy money for at a salon!
I just paid $400 to end up unsatisfied. I should have traveled to see you! Lol
@@marib.52380 u could pay rent for a few months with tht in my country lol
Before and after pictures looks completely different
Looks like extensions already highlighted were added for volume and length
Definitely is done professionally ! Dont believe this youtube videos 🤷🏻♀️
I do appreciate very well the result 👏. I would like to know what was the product you put at the beginning and with what did you wash her hair to get such a marvellous clour.thank you to aanswer me
Considering you're not a trained professional you still do a better job than what my manager does! Good job Jess 😁
Doing hair is so obviously your calling. I hope one day you'll take the plunge and go to school for it! You achieved such a beautiful result here :)
Beautiful!! This looks better than a lot of salon results I've seen. I'm doing this to my hair in about a week. I hope it comes out this blended and perfect!
SarahEmCee how'd it go
SarahEmCee Did you do your hair?
how did it turn out
SarahEmCee curious to hear how your hair turned out
me 2 lol
If she didn't reply I don't this it turned out the way she wanted, uh oh.
awsummmmm i wish i cud take my head off and do this on myself 😭
Sultana Ahmed that is NOT disturbing nope
That's literally what I was thinking.. I wish I could do this on myself in a different view lol, would be sooo much easier.
right!!? I wanna like show this to someone, because I know how to do it and am pretty good, but I can't do it to myself hahaha
Sadie Louise the struggle!!! Making my brother that is a barber watch this video about 10 times se we can try it out lmao 🤷🏻♀️l mean he said he wanted to try women’s hair soooo.... lol
I have watched 47294 balayage videos but I’m sure my ten minute crash course with my husband will be sufficient. Pls send prayers.
Wow! Would never be able to tell this wasn't done at a salon. Looks amazing, awesome job!
this is one of the best tutorials and her hair came out even better than most professionally done hair. you have a gift.
Girl!!! You did such an amazing job! I’m a licensed Cosmo and this is work comparable to someone who’s been doing hair for years! Balayage’s are something that takes tons of practice but you have a natural knack to it!!! ☺️😘
Looks wayyyyy better than the results I got at the salon for 220$😲 ❣️
Same omg
I’m about to pay $195 or if need 2x extra cups of color $254
@@skelly6155 we should just follow this amazing tutorial and save that money💝 she did amazing!
Sometimes a license is just a paper ... it's like a title you don't need to be great ! You are awesome !!!! You go girl
I love how you managed to do such a subtle yet elegant balayage without the technique of weaving or teasing, I am absolutely amazed 😍
I love that technique!! I’ve been a hair stylist for 4 years now and I never thought of alternating between two and one sections!!!
It looks AMAZING! I have tried something similar on my friend, who has also dark brown hair and didn't know much about toning so the result was rather brassy. This looks soooo incredibly beautiful! I'm going to show this to my friend!! Love your videos, they are so so helpful! Lots of love from Germany
This is the best balayage video that I have seen out of tons of ones that I have searched through. This is the easiest and one that achieves the best quality look that I have seen! Thankyou so much for the upload - I love the end product!
thanks love!!!
I've been watching several of your hair videos i discovered now that you aren't licensed, girl you're a natural! , I highly encourage you to go plunge into hair world! (Cosmo program) I'm a student myself you'll love it!
I wish I had a friend like u ... 😖
Me too, all of them ignore me and avoid to hang out with me idk what's wrong with me
Fe C. Maybe because you deserve better than them
@@mee8492 thank you 😕. Idk sometimes I think Im the wrong one.
Fe C. Me too I had that feeling for all of my life until I found my bestie who I always feel wanted and loved around her
Thank you! This is the first one of these videos I actually understood. 😂 I've already started lightening but wanted to balayage after getting the whole head lighter (coming from black hair takes forever). Now, I get the process. Much appreciated! 🙏🏻🥰
Absolutely amazing!! Being a hair stylist myself, this technique was so professional and well executed! If I didn’t realise I would of said a professional created this look! You should be so proud!! 😆
Thank you for a very professional and to the point vid. I've used this guide on three black lace wigs with magnificent results. And I love it's presented without all the hoopla of many others. Refreshing!
Wow, looks flawless! Why aren't you a professional? :P xoxo
I’m a cosmetologist and I’m impressed and for you not being a professional you did a great job! Of course I would encourage to drape the client and make sure to not get any bleach on other strands when parting but overall the result was great.
I followed this tutorial and it came out awesome!! I surprised myself and get a lot of compliments. Thanks for making this video 😃
heyyitsash what did you tone with
@@gordythecat yes!! I’ve been doing my own coloring for 6 years!
Can you imagine your work if you were a professional?! You’re amazing!! Going to try this method tomorrow on my SIL. Great video!
It looks better than what MOST professional salons do. Great job!
best video I've seen about balayage, so easy to understand what you are doing and very natural. complimenti!
Great results! Next time I recommend taking the center of the V shape you painted and making it slightly deeper so you have more of the natural dark color to contrast with the highlights. BTW you should really go into hairdressing ^^ I've seen too many "pros" (so they call themselves) that have worked in the industry for 20 years and still failed at balayage.
Katerina B I totally agree! the only reason I went higher up in the centre is because she already had lightener there and she reaaaally wanted to get rid of the existing colour. Thanks!!! ❤😘
I'm not a fan of that unless you have nice long thick hair. With mid-length hair, it hardly shows my bayalage:(
Wow. I'm a professional hair stylist and this looks AMAZING. I just finished watching a video of a professional stylist.. Honestly.. So honestly...it looked bad. Needing correct toning. End result looked like a color correction was needed... I'm not kidding. Comments confirmed this. But your set was great! Wow. Impressed.
The results came out so professional.The color is so gorgeous i going to do the same color its so pretty.
Wow, it turned out great! I just did an expensive balayage and the hairdresser didn't tone my hair, so I'll have to do it by myself, so yeah, I could say you're better than some professionals. :)
I wish Brad Mondo could see this! 👏
Me too. He'll tell her to get licensed.
@bradmondo
THANK YOU! Simple, Effective and Beautiful result...unlike other UA-camrs trying to sell the products by mixing a ton of products but give visually similar result, I prefer yours over theirs.
You so confidentially jump in and dont hesitate. You even know what youre talking about. You may say youre not a pro but you sure seem like one lol that looks lovely. definitely did your homework
Girllll you should get your license you have no idea how much money you can make ! I’m a licensed hairdresser and you got it ! This looks better than some balayage work at salons! You go girl !
I love this technique. Every time I go to a salon now they always tease my hair and use foils. I think this way comes out so much better
I find that it REALLY HELPS if you tease the hair first...the transition comes way smoother and you don't have to worry too much
PrincessLeia1992 good tip!! Like I said I'm not a professional haha so I always appreciate the help!
i'm far from a professional myself as well xD it's just a tip I found on an old DIY "ombre" video
PrincessLeia1992 yes but combing out the wet tangles afterwards is torture.
aditi dixit gautam you don't tease the hair tightly, if you do it properly it's very used to brush out with a come before rinsing off or whilst doing so :)
you can also use an unused mascara wand to make the transition seamless especially on dark hair that can be harder to blend out(:
One of the best home videos i have seen
This was by far the best at home ombre highlights tutorial ive come accross😄 Great job!
You’ve done a great job. I did mine at the salon and it didn’t look half as good as this, now I’m just thinking about dying myself at home, I just hope it turns out good because that will save me tons of money
Currently doing some research before I do my hair myself at home since I can’t afford to get it done right now and this is fabulous! I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes! Wish me luck
you did an amazing job jess! if I wasn't all the way near Toronto I would be like girl hook it up NOW! lol
It's crazy how beautiful it turned out!
doing this on my hair today for sure! good tips! also, it turned out really nicely 💛
Wow. How is that not professional? I’m impressed.
Wow the seran wrap on the hair is a great tip! It came out amazing!
Literally pulling my hair out of a cap watching this. I'm gonna take it off and try your method, fingers crossed.
Wow amazing job😀I've paid hundreds of dollars to professionals who could never get my hair to looks this good.
this is the best diy Balayage vid i have seen on the internet👏 great job im deffernately gunna try this
You've done a fantastic job, better technique than some professionals .
girl. that was awesome. you are amazing! BTW, I learned how to tone my hair from you. your videos are the best
I agree as a professional, GO GET LICENSED, YOUR TECHNIQUE IS AWESOME!!!!! Great job!!!!
Just used this technique tonight and love the results!! 😍❤️
Wow best video on balayage I've seen! Better than the pros!
Wow, what a fantastic job you did!!! You did a better job then most salon professionals I have seen :-) I have natural dark brown to black here due to my ethnic background, and had in the past bleached my hair to do exactly that, but of course, never came out that way, and in return had damaged my hair to no end. I since waited a couple of yrs to get my hair texture back to soft and manageable state :-) I also decided to give it a try again with the tape in hair method in the Balayage Dark brown and caramel instead of trying to bleach dark hair .. which I am excited. will also keep a shorter look so I can fit my hair under my show wigs :-) cant wait to see the color and the result Tuesday!!! Keep doing what your doing sweetie, you are awesome !!!!
The end result is beautiful! I love it💘 good job 😊
Omg this is amazing you did so good you are a professional also and icy blonde color would look good on her too
Her hair looks amazing
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My husband and I are doing it as I'm writing this and I've got a hunch it's gonna look great!
i had a red color depositing mask that i used in my hair in june and most of it is washed out except for a little more towards the top of my roots but i want to do a balayage, will the bleach make it turn a diff color or should it be ok?
that looks great. I agree and think you should consider getting your beauty license :-)
That was done well I compared your tutorial to some from professionals and you are as good, you are a natural!
Looks lovely! Also really digging the music, it's so soothing
“i’m not a professional” could have fooled me 😍
We all need friends like you great job
Absolutely beautiful! You are a natural.
Are you sure you are not a professional omg look fab 💖
I have a very similar hair color and I have been dying to do this to my hair! My question for you and any professionals-if you’re fortunate to have your hair turn out THIS amazing, but you want to add a little more blonde, what is the best way to do that? My hair always turns out caramelly and honey colored, but I’d like more blonde to be evident. Any tips?? This is amazing and the instructions were so clear! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Oh my goodness thank yo so much for ur tutorial....my sister filled ur directions and my hair came out awesome!!!!! I love it....20 bucks at Sally's verses 190.00 salon quote!!!! Thank you
I love what you did with your friends' hair.
You are very helpful and so communitive that makes you sound so profesional.....its beautiful you are a total natural
Going to try this tonight, hoping all goes well since it's my first time! 😂
I just live your way of sectioning the hair and applying the bleach
Way better than my hairdresser that i paid 100 euros and wasted 3 hours of my Saturday morning with, with a horrible result orangy, yellowish, reddish damaged hair. Lol I’m going to show this video to my husband, best friend, and see if he wants to do it for me !
Thank you for this. It is the best hair lightening/balayage video I've ever seen.
Girl! You are SO good! I need you to do my hair. That looks absolutely amazing.
You did better than some professional hairstylist!
you did such a good job!! also your friend jenna looks so much like liv tyler !!!!
I will try this tmr on my mum wish me luck 🥳
I will update
Edit: it looked amazing thank u 🌸
Turned out beautiful 😍. Great job!
NOT A PROFESSIONAL???
you did an awwwwwsome job!!👏👏👏👏
That actually looks great! 😯
that's absolutely gorgeous
Going to try this today on a dark wig! Yay, excited!
Wow that turned out really great!
woow she did a very good job!!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Want to have a go, but don't think it'll turn out as good! Should you always use a toner after?
Wow girl you killed it! Like Lein H said your a natural. Maybe you should get your Cosmetology license! Loosks so beautiful!
Why don't u get ur license?? Ur a natural!
JL123 maybe because it’s super expensive. Well here in California it is. Almost 30k
It look fabulous. I hope you got your formal education and license by now because you do have talent. Great job!!
Wow this looks gorgeous your so talented 😍😍
Love it, it looks very natural!
Great video, would love to see more of these. Maybe some for a more subtle look. I have a fair amount of grey coming in, and that means when my roots grow out its grey and a dark flat brown, maybe you could demonstrate a way to deal with this? Many thanks from Toronto Ontario!
Good job but what volume developer did you use? 30 would have brought out an awesome color followed by a ash blond toner.
What happens if just bleach it and leave it like that? It is necessary to color it after the bleach?
Yeah it's so sweet to receive the so instantly..I guess the first person who have replied ever..thanks so much. .I dint get the last part after rinse ..what exactly u did ..tone it with.??
all products used are listed in the description box
Just watched your video and it looks beautiful! I'm going to try it myself, only with a red dye. Any advice on that perhaps? I'm thinking I can use your technique for red dye aswell?
The results are so beautiful!! You really know what your doing!! I was wondering how this would work if I have blonde bleached hair. I want a semi dark root and flow into the blonde I have... I don't know how I would approach it!
Aliah castillo search UA-cam for “reverse balayage”! Elle bangs has a good video on it
somegirljess Thank u so much! 😊 Also very quickly, what is the upkeep for your friends hair? Is it easier than having to bleach the root and tone every month as it is for me or would you say having a balayage is more work?
Best video yet...you SHOULD be professional..perfect .
