I’ve never seen this technique before, but YES!!! This makes soooo much more sense in my non-trained brain. I’ve only ever done my own hair, but I’m doing someone else’s for the first time today. I will try this. Let you know how it goes! 😅💛
@@silvia7058 Made the mistake of rinsing the bleach too soon, so it was brassy- but at least it was even coverage. She did a bleach bath after, but her hair was left healthy so a win in my book. I definitely recommend the technique! Next time, I'd do a strand test to see how quickly their hair developed FIRST and then use this technique again with the correct amount of time to avoid a do-over or a bleach bath.
In my bathroom salon, this process makes a lot more sense. After reading articles, and videos in a 2 year hyper fixation gold mine... this process makes far more practical sense hitting on the finer points of lightener chemistry. Plus I'm doing it in a 360 mirror so there are all sorts of wild perspectives to deal with. This process is user friendly.
Hands down the most helpful video on this process. Much more realistic in a time crunch setting at the salon. Still takes time - but not everyone has time to do a triple process
You were God sent!! Truly an answer to prayer! I want to thank you for making this video. After completing a lengthy color correction, I then had to go in and match the 2.5 inch regrowth and finalize with a color melt. Using this technique (with 30 vol & blondor) was of great aid in delivering satisfying results!! She left happy, and left the highest tip I've received in my career. I am now subscribed to your channel and look forward to your great teachings!
What would you class as a good "tip" if you don't mind me asking? Genuinely just curious. Hairdressing generally is a form of art in my eyes. I'm seriously thinking about taking a course and getting qualified. I'm a MUA by trade but over the years I've been drawn more to hair. ❤️
@@justanotherhuman8592 Generally a decent tip is 20%. I don't recall how much this service was 🤔 but as cliche as this may, sound the largest tip I've received is their trust to return and continue their services. Monetary wise, the tip will always be different based on the service rendered. In this particular case in addition to the cost, the tip was $100 ( +the service). Hair and makeup were once very complimentary to each other so if you can Master both traits that makes you twice as valuable. I would say give it a try. I know the pandemic has changed so much with the whole mask situation. Makeup industry has suffered. Nevertheless that doesn't mean you cannot reinvent yourself. Best wishes!
so glad i stumbled upon your channel! you are such a good educator, giving totally doable and effective techniques to use in the salon with lovely results! thanks for sharing...
you have become my fav! No petulant fame influencer seeking behaviour. Also no mixing of 10 different shades for no reason other than to show off! Loveeey!
Thank you!!! This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. I'm not a professional (yet) but enjoy doing my sister's hair. This technique is the bees knees, still roll my eyes when she waits too long in between bleaches. But this was a game changer....and now she knows I can fix it, let's hope I see her sooner next time. 😂
Loved this video - i did the low volume on the roots first method no foils and invariably found it worked but wasn’t perfect. I’d say you would need 15-30 mins extra for this on top of normal timing which is reasonable. I also would like to add I love the commercial aspect of your teachings and your general vision regarding this channel. As someone who eye rolls at the la de da- ness of it all, and an old woman who remembers the more relaxed 90s hair, I find this really refreshing. Thanks for your honesty in these videos James.
Yes I the beginning you will need that much time but when you have the hang of it you will only need another 10 or so. I can do the hole technique in 45mins. Thank you for yes I really want to help the hairdresser who are The back bone of are industry going clients day in day out. Your welcome Rach 👍🏻
I used this technique on a client and it WORKS. I'm never going back to multiple volumes for long regrowth. I cut my foils into 2 or 3 inch strips to avoid fumbling with folding as well.
Thank you for this. I am a hairstylist and I use this technique too. I like how you explain too when going very light blonde it's not always perfect because when someone is so dark your looking at multiple sessions to get the perfect light blonde. I know because my hair is a level 4 and now I'm a level 10. Turned out beautifully, and I found using the foils for regrowth it turns out a lot more even. Been a hair dresser 10 years now and took me quite some time to figure all of this out. Good to know I'm doing it right 😍
Superbly so well and very happy that you have had some validation like the techniques that you are using are well thought off, I know so many hairdressing friends of mine who didn’t know about this technique for many many many years and when I posted this particular video it was like some sort of revelation. Keep up the good work Lisa thanks for your comment
Great video. I’m definitely going to try this next time. Real salon life doesn’t always accommodate multiple processes so this video is such a help. Thank you again for fantastic education. ☺️
I love how she's just stood against a wall for the final reveal at the end. Reminds me of 90% of my high school years 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 but TRULY beautiful. Really great tips in this too that I'll definitely be using myself. I'm amazed I never thought of adding a second coat of the bleach during the processing time myself. It makes total sense and how you've tackled the banding on her hair was a DREAM.. 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh you have just helped me so much !!!! My first client back is a 4 month grown out full head bleach and this is gonna work perfectly 👌 so thanks so much 🙏 😊
Absolutely fantastic Vanessa so pleased because this is one of those really tricky things when your clients come into the salon with super long beach regrowth when I discovered this technique I was completely thrilled with the fact that I could complete a long beach regrowth without all the Pfaff of two different peroxides and two different applications 👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair just to follow up on this technique i used this yesterday and it was so good... the colour was lovely and even after it had been left to develop with no bands or darker shadows !!!
I am thinking about beaching my own roots because I am having a hard time to find a blonde specialist in my area in Germany. Your tutorial is the easiest I’ve seen
WAOOW……. Beautiful 🤩 I know, not always easy to show all steps in your video, but It would be nice to see the colour after pretone….. just to see on what base you do your final lilac toning……. And, I am quite surprised that you are using 30 vol on the scalp……. I thought that for bleach products on the scalp, it’s maximum 20 vol…… isn’t it? But definitively will try this technique next time, instead of struggling to apply products on the roots after the foil…… thank you James….. great tips as usual 🙏🙏🙏
That is certainly one way of doing it Richard in fact I’m going to make a video on that today. But my personal preference is this technique due to the fact it saves quite a lot of time and effort. 😁✌🏻
Never thought of toning the hair before applying colour... is this because it is a direct deposit colour that you were using? Does this technique help the direct deposit colour last longer? This is super helpful to me, thank you so much!!!
Face Up the main reason it to gives me a better base to work on, so I can get more vibrant end results and yes it can generally help extend the life of the colour. 👍🏻
Thank you! My daughters hair is soo thick that sending her to the hairdressers, for even a root touch up, needs a bank loan! I’m going to try this my self. Wish me luck!
Only try this if you have previously worked in hair bleach can cause blisters to the scalp you need to know what your working with and you also need to see the strength of the hair please be careful if your not a hairdresser sorry to post but be very careful
thank you so much for the video! I will test this technique on my youngest daughter who is starting to have a long regrowth, as well as lots of residue of direct dyes (first a faded purple, and then a dark blonde), si she will start with a clarifying treatment and Vita-C mask first. I usually use blondme and 20+7vol, and intend to do the same but with the foils between sections.
@@TheLifeOfHair I did the job on my daughter today. as my sections were not super fine (she has lots of hair), I foiled each section, and heavily saturated, but minimizing overlapping. she's back to a clean overall blonde! (she also had some residual redish-pinky color from previous colors, so we cleaned this out as well). It's really a great technique to avoid banding.
Hello, Ioved your expertise! Your tutorials are connecting the dots for me. Question, how do you select product to pre tone with? My understanding is, to select a toner within the same color target. I have no words to describe, how much I appreciate your channel! Lilia,
why do you have to go back to reapply and put the foils in instead of just placing them at first application? is it because this way you get all the hair covered faster and like to reapply anyway?
Great question yes the reason that I go back in and re-apply the foils is because I will always go and check my application and reapply as necessary so it just seems like a logical thing to do on the second application rather than relying on perfect situation the first time we all miss bits from time to time so I’m always doublechecking triple checking my work. 👍🏻
Hi, I’d like to ask how long do you leave the bleach to process after you’re done applying it to the whole head ? Like around 40min and then start rinsing out the first sections where you started ? Or do you need to check every few minutes ?
I tend to keep an eye on things when I’m using bleach checking it every 5 to 10 minutes if I can if I can’t keep checking it every 5 to 10 minutes then I’ll check it every 15 to 20 I never exceed the manufacturers recommended development time in the case of the products are use which is a maximum development time of 50 minutes attend to rinse the back off first and then the front.
best bleach regrowth video on youtube! my only concern is how do you check if the back is ready without those foils falling and sliding? since nothing really holds them in place. i saw a video where you did this without the foils. so do you recommend this technique or the other technique without the foils and why? which one you use more?
ThNk you ✌🏻this is my favourite technique as its easier in my book and in terms of checking the lift if you are careful there is no problems with them slipping and falling out as the surface tension holds the foil in place
Hi! If my client has a 1.5 inch or 2 inch regrowth will this still work? And once applied do you ever go in and take foils back out or leave them until rinsing out. Love the idea of this technique!
Yes this is ideal for any scenario where the regrowth longer than 1cm ✌🏻😁 I will take them out of the back has processed lights enough and the front isn’t ready yet. But in my experience of this technique generally speaking that is it necessary
Very informative Thankyou! I’m bleaching my regrow the just like this from home in the next few days and I was trying to find a way to do my banding, cold regrow that and root regrow that! I have dark brown hair ( nowhere near black lol ) and unfortunately I could only get my hands on 20 volume. Will this be ok?
Great technique. Love the end result....what City Beats formulas did you use? Do you use bonding products in the lightener/CB? And what is the longevity with the pretoning? I really like the City Beats.
Thank you Heather roots colour city beats purple with a spec of black for crazy colour and the ends the sales formula but with lots of clear. I mainly use PH Bonder from Redken I some times use olaplex I don’t have a favourite doing the pre to definitely increases the longevity of the colour but it hard to say how long it will last in all depends on Porosity, but what I will say is that when it fade if you pre tone it will look a lot more beautiful. I love the fact City beats doesn’t fade green. 😁✌🏻
If you were going to cover that pinkish band would you have just gone in after you finished the root touch up technique or would you have tried to do it all at the same time with a lower volume developer?
Probably not I don’t tend to straighten peoples hair before I colour it no matter what the technique is really just work with the texture and you’ll be good to go
The Life Of Hair wow thank you so much for sharing your techniques! I used this method and it came out beautiful 😍 I’m so very grateful for all your amazing advice and teachings🤩
Graeme would say I only do that if I feel like the back has accelerated way beyond the front in my Experience of this technique I generally don’t have to do that I’m just trying to think of the time that I might have but I can’t so I think it’s pretty even inconsistent generally speaking ✌🏻😁
Hi James.Thank you for sharing the video.Question.I am a bit slow.If I use 20 volume ,do you think still the good result? Because on the video you use 30 vol.TIA.
What if my hair has other color on it and i want to bleach the outgrown hair? Would i have to strip the dye? Or is that even possible to bleach my roots?
So you apply your first coat of bleach to the hair then when you go back in and apply your foil you Simply refresh the bleach in the cold zone As you apply the foil
Well exactly the same thing really you just get the same results as you would with blonde I do without getting the hot root effect Even if you are using Blonde idol you still have the hot and cold root problem so this applies to anything where you are lifting the hair hope that helps
