How I HIGHLIGHT My Own Hair | Foiling Tips 

You have no idea just how helpful you are, especially trying to do this at home on our own hair!! Your tips are so appreciated and I love your candid honesty! It makes me feel less pressure to try and do it perfectly.

Omg... I can’t handle it. You’re soooo funny, I’m seriously crying.🤣 love your videos because they make me happy, and they’re super informative even when you forget what your talking about, (yay! I’m not the only one who does this allll the time!)🤣 such a stunning results & like always, life changing tips! 😘

I’m going to put this video on so we could do our hair together 💕 It’s gonna be so much fun! I’m going to follow along with you.

Haha I LOVE your personality! And I love you do your own hair! I haven’t let anyone touch my hair in almost 10 years and do full baby light foils from back to front it’s a fricking process but I just don’t trust anyone to do it how I want

When I can relate soooo hard that I feel the pain of your foil slipping on your 3rd highlight... I was watching and hoping you got it back up to the root and I realized I was making a face and all tensed up like I was watching a horror movie, lol. You're amazing. And a perfectionist I can tell 💛🖤💛🖤

Beautiful! It came out so good! I place the foil on a balayage board and that helps me to see and paint on the bleach when I'm working on the top of my head or the underneath sections.

I can only dream to have your level of skills to do your own. My nerves won’t let me haha. You did great. Just subbed so you may have lost two but gained one. You have a great personality, you’re entertaining and you teach me more than I learned in hairdressing school. ❤

Hi Kristi, thank you for your time! You have a great skill! I am so impressed!!

Love your style of work!. Very precise! Thank you so much! You are much Fun! I can see why you would do so well being a hairdresser!

I'm still learning to do hair and I'm really impressed how you did your own hair and in just a couple of hours. I wish to have your skills in time! And btw I think you do really good, not every one is going to like you or your content, but as long as you enjoy the time making your videos that should be rewarding to you and the people who likes em. I really enjoy learning from your videos and knowing how to formulate correctly because for me is still a little hard to get the result I have in my mind and the final outcome. Its hard to really get the exact results. Thanks you for sharing your content and knowledge. Hugs! Akira.

You are gorgeous love AND today was a blast watching you do your own hair! ❤❤❤ your content xoxo from Alaska

No showing is an ahole move! I’m watching this because I just had one! So glad to hear about the water in the BlondMe I just had a horrible bleeding experience and I’ve been at this 30 years 🤦🏻‍♀️ your videos are a life saver

Your weaves are impressive doing it on yourself from all kinds of crazy angles🔥

I just love you! Thank you for all your videos, I’ve learned a lot from you 😊

I do my own foils( hairstylist). The crown is always the toughest because its so hard to see that area in the mirror. But I always get it in the end. Sometimes I have 1 or 2 to fix and that slways bums me out because of the time issue. But doing it myself I get the color exactly how I want it so its all good! A good frame of mind before I begin is what its all about! I've learned never do hair tired! Great job yours🥰

Damn where were you before I burnt my hair off in 2020! I had all 10 levels in my hair and some on the same sections lmao 😂 I’m black level 1 a with some grey now. Thinking of using your technique thx for the vid! I use Schwarzkopf which I do use 20 vol in front and 40 or 30 for the rest and it still takes a minute. Like 100’s of min. Yours hopefully won’t take my blood,sweat and hair this time. It’s one length, virgin slightpast shoulders and I had waist length before I knew how good that shit was and you shouldn’t bleach 5 times in a year over blonde to add to the fun for shits and giggles. Thank god I have the time to pull myself together!

You are hilarious 😂💝 Very pretty result, too!

I just was binge watching you I’m starting back in a salon after a few years of working as a florist. You have taught me more than cos school ever did I love your personality and your so funny you talked about losing 2 subscribers their loss ! That made me sad but you can’t please everyone but they are losing out on so much education!! Thank you for all your hard work making these videos your making a change in the world . Not everyone can say that. I wish I lived closer so My hair could benefit from your work. Thank you so much!!!!

You are an excellent instructor I have learned more from I m this particular video than others in general

They’re dumb for in following you Kristi !❤ You’ll get 100 more for those 2 😊. We all love you 😘

I love your videos! And forget about those who unsubscribe. You have a tribe. I’m doing my hair tomorrow and so grateful you show us how. I wish I lived near you. I would trust you with my hair.

I'm a hairdresser and this is me! My clients are like, " so who does ur hair?".....uh ME once every 5mths during a no show

Love your personality! Been a hairstylist for 10 yrs. Watching your do’s and don’ts videos I know enough about hair that you are legit. I love that you are thorough regardless of time. Very good at explaining and teaching. Great hairstylist! There are always new things and other ways to learn in this business. Definitely will stay a supporter.

I love watching your video's. I have trouble with color and toners, I have no clue what to use, that's why I'm getting my hair done by a stylist. I did bleach the bottom of my hair once, and I tried to color it a light blue, and it turned green, and I got most of it white, so I don't understand what happened, that's why I'll never do it again. I know using box dye is bad, but I've been using it since I started getting gray hair, about twenty years ago, and this will be the first time I'm getting my hair done by a professional, I want a balayage, dark on top, and light all the way down the hair, I want the tips white, if they can do it without my hair falling out. LOL.

This hair colorist was amazing! I love her work! More tutorial and new techniques please I really admired your work. I also did it to my client. Godbless ❤️

We love you too Kristi. You do great job. Kisess from Greece.

Your hair lifts so nice because your natural color is already light. Looks beautiful.

I am cracking up here! I’m a crack head!! Doing your own foils!! You’re good! I love your work!

I enjoy your videos so much. You are awesome!

Looks really good for a simple service on yourself🥰 and i love that toner on you, so soft 👏🏻

Don't be sad, your video (although long) is helpful in that it shows how your thought process and how you decide what to do with issues in bleaching one's own hair. I watched this video several times and attempted my 2nd bleach hair at home, and it was much more successful than my first attempt. This will help me looking decent until my next highlights appointment with a professional. Thank you so much for sharing and posting. I can never do my own hair but we need tips to do a small job in between salon appointment. You've got a new subscriber 💌💌💌

Thank you for helping me get a beautiful grow out. I have Albinism so it’s hard to grow that out dying it nearly black lol. Now I have beautiful foil placement. No stylist does my hair how I like it and need it to be so now I can do it on my own with confidence. I have a STEM degree and art degree so only thing I lack is knowledge of the best foil placements. Your videos help so much! Thanks Kristi!

Ahh freakin amazing chic! What a great job on your own hair, I can't even imagine doing this on myself... You are a true Artist!!!

We love you because you ruffle your hair as if you did it, with your beautiful forehead, and because you are you and do great hair ❤️

I just want to let u know I love you! Your personality is just like mine and a lot of hairstylists on youtube are so much alike and you stand out from them. I've been waiting on a video of you doing your own hair. So thank you! I wish I was in your area so you could do my hair but unfortunately there isn't any good ones so I do my own hair.

You did a great job! I absolutely love it. You are beautiful. I love your forehead. I have always had a small one. So one of my dearest friend/ boss waxed my forehead about 1/2 an inch to make it look bigger. This happened when I was 30yrs old. I'm 62 now.I have tons of hair. I'm also white since I was thirty. I do a level 7-8 gold. Im going to do the front of my hair like you did yours! Thank you, your videos are very inspiring. Been doing color for 42 years. Blessings, 🙏👼🌹✨✨✨🙌

I loved loved loveddd this video, especially because it showed so much more of your friendly personality. I know you quiet down a bit because of clients sitting there. But I loved watching you all sassy and loud🥰🥰🥰🥰

i LOVE your videos, they help a lot and you're my favorite hair channel and i would definitely watch if u did live videos!! ❤️❤️

My biggest problem doing my own hair weaving. I wanted to try those weave combs. I am a stylist I just don’t have as much practice with foils on myself.

New year, new hair, very nice and soft.Good luck for your New Year!

I really love you, just done same to my hair, before watching your video, while seating here with the toner 9.22 all over my hair lol ❤️

GIRL. Your my new favorite! Education + fun = goooood shit! It's like hanging out with a (drunk) friend. Thanks for doing this for us!

Yay.. excited

Unsubscribers.... Their loss... You are Amazing!!!!

I love watching you work girl! You inspire me!

Glad I found your Channel! Love your attitude! Needed this video for my hair! Thx n load more videos 😎

Haha since U lost two followers on this video I decided to subscribe.. your vids are informative and U have a great personality.. my roots are hella grown out so ima use this technique and put some baby lights in on my own ….ouufff im scurred

your the best! entertaining and genuine. I think you are more detailed at revealing how you do things. Can't please everyone!

I use the Blonde me bleach - you turned me unto it - LOVE IT!! Thank you💖 I do my own high lights and I cut a piece of card broad out, then I place the foil on the broad fold it over at the top, then I swipe a small amount of bleach on the foil to hold my hair down while I'm placing the bleach. ( it's real elementary but it works...lol ) Your hair came out nice...but I think YOU what look amazing as a brite blond w/ your light eyes.

Your new color turned out pretty good. I do like you as a blonde. Your grave hi lighting your own hair .

Love your videos! Very informative - you don't talk too much :) Love that you're down-to-earth, no-fluffy crap and I totally respect your expertise. Oh yes, and just an FYI: when I have unsubscribed from a YT channel its usually because I'm no longer into that subject, eg. fitness, trading, nails etc. - definitely not because I no longer like that person or their channel. Anyway, thanks for these fantastic videos and keep up the great work!

New subscriber here and on Instagram! I wish I had the guts to do this to my own hair. Looks great! Thank you for the videos❤️

OMG. you are so Professional. I love your Video.

I think that coffee was kicking in 😂😂😂 also idk how you do it. I’ve tried foiling my own hair and I struggle!! lol I wish I could take my hair off like a wig.

Beautiful.Looks hard but can be done.Great job..❤

I love love your work.. you always do an amazing job! ♥️♥️

Looks wonderful!!! 💖 Great tips in there. Definitely makes me wanna gonna do my hair now!! 😊

Thank you I learn so much from you you are wonderful

I just can't afford to upkeep my hair every 8 weeks at a salon these days. I've been doing that for 25 years and I remember (after the cap craze) when I used to pay $80 for a full foil, and when it went up to $100. I almost fainted when I saw the cost these days. It's so worth the money, but i just can't on a really low income. My latest hairdresser is much lower than average but you get what you pay for.😳 Since we cut bangs she keeps leaving this big chunky brunette skunk stripe behind them. I became exasperated enough to try a few foils at home with Redken flash lift. Dull and copperish even after 2 1 hr sessions on 2 test foils. After this latest skunk striping I came home and ordered the Schwarzkopf with the 30 vl. Omg, SUCCESS!! And I didn't even need a toner, but I'm still gonna get some toners to have on hand. Your videos have taught me so much! I don't wanna give up on getting this right.

thank you very much for the video! DIY highlights is for the brave! that was fast! I usually don't do the whole head in one session : I do face frame separately from the rest and do it more often. I use Vario Super Plus rather than Blondme as I have bad experience with bleeders (but I will try your trick one of these days), so I keep the bleach not too runny to try and avoid them; I find that doing the crown right is tricky; last time I did a diagonal placement around the middle part, and when I got in the back, the foils were almost vertical, which was not bad actually, after a root tap. I love the 7.4 too, but now I mix it with 7.57 to have a more coppery hue on roots and lowlights; have you tried 7.4 on roots with the 9.5-49 toner on the lengths & ends? I tried it and found it really pretty. I like doing some sort of root smudge to blend greys and any demarcation line from the highlights, but how would you keep the blonde bright when rincing?

I dont care about those 2 subs either, you're the BEST BABE!!! You teach me so much and I would totally get drunk with u 🤪

My favorite of your videos

Aww ….. kristi , I started following jus kinda recently! Or watevers but I love u and u have all of us still!!! Babahaha …, love u, mean it ! Hate u, kidding!🙏😘🥰❣️💖💖🤷🏼‍♀️👩🏼

Awesome..looks great

haters will hate- I think you are great!

Love your videos and your work. Subscribed ❤😊

❤love that I'm in salon waiting on client so good

Your a lovely person Kirsti ⭐ I've learned alot from you, thanks for your work 👌

lol!! love your personality

You make a lot of sense. Thank you for this. Also I was worried about processing times for different sections as I’m sooo slow. So does rubbing the bleach off each foil actually stop it from processing ? Or does only a proper shampoo rinse do that? Thanks 🙏

I love your work and how funny you are.

i am not gonna do it girl, i was just thinking about it...I am not gonna do it.....................................I did it !!! lmao

You are amazing 👏 wow you are very very precise with your weaving I am very impressed 👏😀😊😄

I am a new subscriber. I am glad I found your channel ❤️ You are so sweet and funny too. You do excellent work.

Haha love your sense of humour and when your voice goes high it’s so funny! Been binge watching your videos we are currently in lockdown here in England so I’m not able to open my salon atm 😓 at least I can get my fix by watch hair being done 😅💕

You did a amazing job on your hair

Wow! Perfect foiling and sectioning considered do it yourself. Good point water has alkaline it won’t Stop processing . I leant t this from James Akinson. Just subscribed! You lost some gained some. Good job. Thanks for sharing.-

Loving it but how u do low lights in between and make sure doesn’t bleed to my lighter pieces like do I add the low lights at the end and rinse them off first ? Pleasee help but this was so helpful thanks xoxox

Lol when you got to the formulation part🤣

Hi I usually do my own lites but only a half head , my arms always sore next day ha ha . Good job love from hairdresser in Ireland in lockdown again 😂😐♥️

Love the faces u pull whilst doing it 😝 better than mine 😂 I can’t do the bk of mine at all! Don’t worry about one or two subscribers, u have many more than me! Ur hair turned out fabulous!! Well done xxx

Talent!

I tried this one time. My arms was so sore lol and I only had done one side lol. When I got to my crown I didn’t realize I missed the foil and tapped my root 😂 I needed up w a stripe above my highlight and then my original highlight 😂 I won’t try again. Jk I might one day but only the hair line for brightness in the front lol

I love you and I love watching your videos your the best💖💖

I would watch you on a live. You are great!

Hey! I love your videos. You seem real and true to your personality. 🤗 I have a question... If you would've used a root smudge in an ashy tone, and then a brighter, blonder pearl tone on the mids and ends, which Igora vibrance toner colours would you have used?

You are amazing and a very intelligent hairdresser 👍👍👍👍 Very proud of you ❤️❤️

one side is a lot harder to do since my eyes don't like to work together so i actually can't really see what I'm doing 😂 working on feel and sound is a life skill a lot of people don't appreciate enough. still makes it hard to have a foil in your face, being able to see it but not in the way you can process it so it's a challenge :')

Have you ever tried a fringe on yourself? I think side swept hair would look nice.

You're great ❤ya!

Beautiful🙌🏻love it💕

I always think when you do your own hair it’s like pleasing yourself it should be done in the restroom where no one can see. Hands down you are super talented my career just changed from watching your videos . Very informative. Thank you Kristi.

Love your videos 🇮🇪

Nice! Toffee Chocolate!

You're awesome girl 💗

You are such a talented hairdresser. I suggest, for the ones who unsubscribe, that maybe you do a bit more editing because it's really hard to sit through a long video unless every word of the content is riveting. I would leave the small talk to a minimum. These are things I've learned personally and I'm sharing to try and help. Your hair looks great.

Love your videos

Super!

I’ve done this in November. it was so difficult and tiring, my whole body was sore especially my eyes. I only did hairlines 😂 LOL

Great video! Learn Lots! Plus You are illarious
