HOW TO REVERSE BALAYAGE | ADDING LOWLIGHTS TO MY BLONDE HAIR | PRO HAIRSTYLIST TUTORIAL

  • I decided to tone my hair down and add some lowlights, so I'm showing you how to do a "reverse balayage" technique to create a balayage look on hair that is already really blonde. This is the perfect technique to use if you have light hair and want to go darker, but you still want to keep dimension and pops of blonde throughout. Let me know what you think of my new color! :)

    Super helpful! I’m a hair stylist but I have SUCH a hard time doing the back of my hair! I usually either do the roots and brush through (which never turns out how I want - usually too much root “shadow” and zero lowlites) or I just do a short root shadow and then use a highlighting cap! Which we all know is a huge pain and not ideal for damaged, thin hair! 😱🫢

    Thank you SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!! I am root grown about a 4-5 but with bleached Elsa white halfway down highlights (a-LOT of them) and I KNEW I needed to add some filler color and a “hairstylist of 22yrs” working there said I DIDNT need to!! And I’m glad I saw this before doing it or I would’ve been PISSED. And I was wanting to literally do this EXACT same thing!! So I wanted to match the roots but didn’t know if I needed to add red/copper tones and how to? You have saved my hair!!! And it’s SUPER LONG. So I’m gonna cut some of the bleached dried out ends off and do about the same. I saved your vid! I am sooooo grateful! Thank you!

    Beautiful . I have white hair with some dishwater blond streaked in. I want reverse balayage with low lites on the bottom and gradually up to the top of my head and leave the white and natural roots. Before I went all over natural white I always (as in for 30 years) kept my hair dark brown with auburn . My younger natural hair had deep red undertones. (I use Laurel dark brown 2 bottles and auburn 1 bottle) I had very long, thick, curly hair. I have been to several colorists and gotten some wild results over the years. I have let my hair grow out again. Gonna give it a try on my own. Tx for the pointers.
