I've gone through hundreds and hundreds of videos looking for a tutorial that would walk me through the whole process of balayage/ombre/baby lights and where exactly to place the dye and what technic looks best on certain parts of your hair. This one does that perfectly. I don't mind watching a lengthy tutorial if it's showing me the proper way to do something beginning to end. Now I can go and delete the 50 videos I saved trying to piece together technics and directions because it's all here in 1 video.
I tried this yesterday and the results were lovely. I used aveda enlightener, starting with a virgin base in between 6&7, the merge was incredible, no lines no faults. And took me around 50 minutes to do as she had thick hair. The hair lifted no problem, so I just popped a 5 minute blonde gold toner (aveda) on at the backwash and we were good to go! A 12 year old girl, who wanted to go blonder = perfect technique! Really impressed, this is defo my new go to technique! Thank you!!!! 👍🏼
I have been searching for something simple with foils. Love this whole process. and who cares if you use a lot of foils?!!! It came out gorgeous! Ive been doing hair along time and this looks so natural! Great info!
Thank you for sharing on this video I think it's how you completes the sections & the foils are neatly placed. excellent foil replacement you make it looks easier and you have that clean techniques 👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏
I got a little scared that you weren't going to show the end result😂 I have virgin hair and have been looking for a tutorial with someone who also had virgin hair and were pretty similar in color I'm pretty excited to finally dye mine now. Thank you!!
You just gained a subscriber . Loved your video . I just graduated from cosmetology school and my cousin has been asking me for a balayage and I finally found the perfect video thank you . (:
First I saw the Liberty shirt and freaked out because I went there for a couple of years then saw your aveda apron and freaked out again because I happen to be graduating from an Aveda Institute in a couple of months! Small world! Beautiful color and technique though!
Hey Lexi I just tried Vero lights by joint and it's really nice. Smells good for bleach lol. My brush of choice was one of this beveled type of craft sponges at Michaels . Came out nice 😄. And I didn't have to use 40 cool bc it was in foil vs plastic film. Thanks for sharing!!
Your work is beautiful! Just wondering why some hair stylists tease when using foils and others don’t? I thought teasing would diffuse demarcation. But yours came out perfect without. Could you give me your opinion please?
I'm still just a student, but she feathers upwards so softly with the brush and stays far away from the root, teasing is good for keeping a good blend when getting very close to the root. Also I think it's just preference. If you are very good at feathering the lightener up to make it so blended on its own you don't need to tease. Or you can add teasing just to add even more blend.
I like both types of brushes but i find this type of brush gives a very blended look. My bleach is a one to one ratio. Thats how I usually mix my bleach for both foils and if I were to leave it out.
I wouldn’t have thought of an actual michael’s paint brush as a way to balayage! It’s genius! But how do you disinfect it? Can you still immerse it in barbecide without completely ruining it?
I was disappointed that you didn't show the end result in the video. It just went from the application process to a picture of the result but it would have been much better if you included you rinsing out the colour, toning and blow-drying/styling or even just the end result in video form.
I loved the video Lexi but you need to show more of the end result. You have about 10 seconds I would love it if you showed her the hair color more thoroughly.
How much bleach did you mix in order to achieve this look. I have much thinner hair than her, but it's about 3 inches longer. How much bleach do you think I would need?
I've tried to find a hairdresser that could do a balayage so that they wouldn't apply any color on my roots. I've got my natural hair colour. Most of the hairdressers that I've spoken to said that they would have to dye the roots too.. My hair is a bit lighter than hers on the video. I've got wavy texture on my hair which doesn't help when you're doing highlights. I'd love to get a balayage but I'm a bit afraid that I'd leave the salon disappointed and +100 eur poorer.
For some reason, I get sad when I see people’s healthy beautiful hair, getting dyed....I only dye my hair becouse I have premature gray hair, but I wish I could have my natural hair back (without the grays).
Hi, I liked your video. I have a question, I am doing a violet balayage with a shadow root base . I was wondering if I could lighten the hair before applying any of the color, then add the dark base and violet ends and blend? Or do I need to do the shadow base first before lightening the ends?
I have some doubts, before I try, hope you can answer. With this technick wont be the frontal part lighter than the back? I mean its much longer time in the foil, or did you take them out earlier?
When you did this process did you end up using 2 different lightners one lighter towards the end and in the middle alittle bit lower than that one? Or was it just one type volume lightner?
Li Ly I suggest always use a toner! It’ll give you great results.. a lot of people have used lightener and 20 developer will give you time to do your whole hair, for toner Wella pale ash blonde with 20 developer as well. Don’t listen to stylist who says you don’t need a toner.. they’re either lazy, another client right after you, or try to make you come in for a second session.. trust me I know I graduated cosmetology school.
If you know what you are doing, you shouldn't need a toner on a blonde highlight (unless of course you're doing silver or grey.) Do children who have natural blond highlights from the sun use a toner? @@piggywiggythepig678

Apryl Wiggins I agree!!!
Same here, just gain clarity.
go on guy tang he walks you through everything he is amazing !
Dye? I didn't see any Easter eggs here? I thought she was using lightner....
There’s this channel called Guy tang check him out his tutorials too are explained pretty well and they look so natural!

I am a licensed cosmetologist. Try the pravana purple shampoo. It is so amazing getting rid of brasiness dramatically and non drying to the hair.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Is it easier for dark virgin hair to go lighter then experienced hair?
lexi, thank you for all of your videos! i really like how you dont make it complicated and your work is so pretty
thank you!!
First I saw the Liberty shirt and freaked out because I went there for a couple of years then saw your aveda apron and freaked out again because I happen to be graduating from an Aveda Institute in a couple of months! Small world! Beautiful color and technique though!
So cool!!

Realjams2050 jhiiiio

That looks beautiful
thank you so much
Without so much bs added to it hun amazing results ! Better than guy tangs ones 😂
great results and fab video
This is so helpful, I’m a newly qualified stylist and I was just wondering what bleach you used here?
sorry this was a long time ago and i dont remember the exact lightener i used
Your work is beautiful! Just wondering why some hair stylists tease when using foils and others don’t? I thought teasing would diffuse demarcation. But yours came out perfect without. Could you give me your opinion please?

hands down.wow.congratulations
Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful and informative :)
How long was the bleach left and what level of peroxide? Thanks for sharing.
I like the brush you used. Is it easier than a tint brush? Is you're bleach consistency thinner when using foils as opposed to open air?
I like both types of brushes but i find this type of brush gives a very blended look. My bleach is a one to one ratio. Thats how I usually mix my bleach for both foils and if I were to leave it out.
I wouldn’t have thought of an actual michael’s paint brush as a way to balayage! It’s genius! But how do you disinfect it? Can you still immerse it in barbecide without completely ruining it?
I've stopped using the chip brushes because they get ruined too quickly. I now use Framar's paint brush.
I gotta get one of those paint brushes and maybe a sponge brush
Запасайтесь Фольгой ...девочки)))а так Умничка конечно!!!
How long did it take you total time? The end result is gorgeous!
+Crystal Kelley I usually block out 3 hours for color
very goooooood .. love it!
The best tutorial ever😍😍👍
Looove ur instructions..learning
I was disappointed that you didn't show the end result in the video. It just went from the application process to a picture of the result but it would have been much better if you included you rinsing out the colour, toning and blow-drying/styling or even just the end result in video form.
sorry but real life salon time can get busy. I have other videos with better end results.
wonderful job.
Front part: 1:10 - 2:05
Back part: 12:44 - 15:49
Absolutely AWESOME
Omg its perfect.
I loved the video Lexi but you need to show more of the end result. You have about 10 seconds I would love it if you showed her the hair color more thoroughly.
Wow what a great Job!
Thank you for sharing! :D
Hey this is lovely! what vol peroxide did you use?
+Alice Bardgett i used 20vol
amaze!!! love
Pretty! I like the actual paint brush tool. What bleach did you use?
I used verolight lightening powder by vero-k-pak also part of joico!
When you paint it did you go thru the section with the lightener or just the top?Thank you
+LOUIS SANABRIA all the way through. Front and back of each section I lightened.
How much bleach did you mix in order to achieve this look. I have much thinner hair than her, but it's about 3 inches longer. How much bleach do you think I would need?
+Rebecca Biddle i mixed up probably about a scoop and a half for her. You would probably need the same.
I just found your channel & love your work! Such helpful tips! What volume developer did you use in the front sections & the back, please?
And how long did she process for? Thank you for showing the whole process!
+Jenan Heaton aww thank you!! I used 20vol on both for this color process.
+Jenan Heaton she processed for about 20ish minutes. Just watch until you see pale yellow.
Love it!! Great technique. One of the best I've watched on YT!!
Lexi Daw
Beautiful
super pretty.
Can this technique be used with the teasing method as well? Thanks :)
love it
Excellent work!
Hey there! Did you mix a hair color in with the lightner/bleach and 20 volume developer? or just the lightner plus 20volume?
+Candice Connors just lightener and 20vol
Hi Great video , what product did you use? 20- 30- 40 vol????? I am a hairdresser Thanks again
woow beautiful!!!!
Hello im a new subscriber.
Loved your balarge what percentage of peroxide did you use? Im studing hairdressing.a beginner.xx❤️
Which brushes ,exact names or sizes do you find them at Michaels?
I'm not sure exactly what brand they are but they just have uneven bristles.
Hi, loved your video, but i have a question
did you bleached the hair or did you apply a tint?
+Ambar Valdebenito i used bleach
I've tried to find a hairdresser that could do a balayage so that they wouldn't apply any color on my roots. I've got my natural hair colour. Most of the hairdressers that I've spoken to said that they would have to dye the roots too.. My hair is a bit lighter than hers on the video.

Gorgeous x
what size of brush did you use. looks really nice
Wonderful job
For some reason, I get sad when I see people’s healthy beautiful hair, getting dyed....I only dye my hair becouse I have premature gray hair, but I wish I could have my natural hair back (without the grays).
is that a paint brush???
+Yamis Tutorials yep!
nýas
I work with paint brushes more than 8 months.. Works perfect.. Always looks natural and no stripes... Never... Love them..😍
Beautiful😍
Hi, I liked your video. I have a question, I am doing a violet balayage with a shadow root base . I was wondering if I could lighten the hair before applying any of the color, then add the dark base and violet ends and blend? Or do I need to do the shadow base first before lightening the ends?
Depending on that look I would most likely lighten everything first.
I need this brush!!! which one is it?
its a good method ..but why u dont tell mixing of color and shade number also compny??
What is your lightner choice?
Love it....😍😍😍
Do you use bleach this time or color ?
hi, i m new, i d like to know the product that you use. Thanks a lot
I have some doubts, before I try, hope you can answer. With this technick wont be the frontal part lighter than the back? I mean its much longer time in the foil, or did you take them out earlier?
good
I’m new to all of this.. how long did you let the bleach sit when you were done, before washing it?
Awesome
So, in compact it's bleaching the hair with techniques to get perfect look....am I correct,anyone tell me plz
How long did you leave lightener on for?
What foil are you using? Is it okay to use a regular aluminum foil? Thanks
I'm just using a cheap brand i got at cosmoprof, I'm not sure on the exact brand name. You could just just regular foil.
me encantaaaa
Excellent 👏👏👏
When you did this process did you end up using 2 different lightners one lighter towards the end and in the middle alittle bit lower than that one? Or was it just one type volume lightner?
Would have liked to see the end result in the video
Did you bump your developer for the upper part or just 20 all the way?
Which colors did she use? And which toner ?
Li Ly no color just lightener
no toner just purple shampoo
Li Ly I suggest always use a toner! It’ll give you great results.. a lot of people have used lightener and 20 developer will give you time to do your whole hair, for toner Wella pale ash blonde with 20 developer as well. Don’t listen to stylist who says you don’t need a toner.. they’re either lazy, another client right after you, or try to make you come in for a second session.. trust me I know I graduated cosmetology school.
If you know what you are doing, you shouldn't need a toner on a blonde highlight (unless of course you're doing silver or grey.) Do children who have natural blond highlights from the sun use a toner? @@piggywiggythepig678
Good tutorial, but the music kind of drowned out the verbal instructions 😒
Is she saturating all the way through? 🤔🤔🤔
