Hello nice tutorial...i am brown skin..but my problem with my hair i have grey hairs and its really annoys me everyweek i have to color my hair..what color can you recommend for me?i want to color my hair and i want that it should be same as my grey hair...but i have a brown skin tone..Thankyou
for all the pros on here saying "just go to a salon, don't risk it, etc..." Sounds like sound advice, if only it was more affordable to have the luxury to do so on the regular. It's literally why these videos exist.
Right... and it’s not that we don’t appreciate our hairdresser’s talents - we do! It’s just we can’t always pay the price and we have to make do with DIY jobs. So instructional like this can be very helpful and again, appreciated.
Kim Howard any kind of beauty service is considered a luxury service , that’s why we’ve paid so much to go to school because professionals are the ones who are supposed to do hair to maintain its health. RU-vid university isn’t a real thing and people think they can skip out on the education and just do it themselves when that’s not how it works.
I’m not saying that in a rude manner at all I promise , I’ve just seen so many people mess up their hair from trying to do it themselves then they end up having to pay twice as much to get it fixed . Balayage and special techniques should be done by a professional that has the education to back it up , coloring your hair at home of course can be done by someone DIY , but highlights and special techniques etc I feel should be handled by professionals who know the ins and outs of how the hair works and how to maintain its health . ❤️❤️
Every one of her technique videos are laden with comments from "professionals" chastising and demeaning anyone who says they will try this in just the most inappropriate way. The insecurity has a toxic air, but completely fails to realise that there armys of single moms, small town girls without a decent salon, working through college etc all willing to take a chance vs doing without, they have every right, it's their own hair, they arent liable to anyone else, and many of them do a good job, al learn from it regardless. One day they will have the money to spend, and will find the right stylist for them, dont hate and it may be you. Personally I got tired of crying over a $300 bad color, cut and style, so as I learned I laughed at myself instead. My hair now has never been healthier, and I have never been happier, we weren't all meant to be your clients, don't feel bad, I do my own mechanics too because women are beasts!!!
Finally someone said this in a succinct way. Not to mention, I cannot tell you the countless articles I’ve stumbled upon that are meant for professional hairstylists/colorists that give advice and ways to make ‘idiot proof’ services ‘seem’ more ‘high end’ with the single purpose of making the client BELIEVE that they can’t do it at home and they also tell you how to ‘justify’ [AKA:: fool, trick] charging higher prices. So for example: they say to never charge based on the amount of time it takes to ‘install’ hair extensions ‘because it’s a fairly simple and straightforward process’ and then it goes on to advise the reader in multiple workarounds for getting the most money out of the client. I respect the work and even more so respect stylists with actual talent but I hate the trend of hairstylists being snobby and condescending...even the broke ones /awful ones. Anywho.
Jennifer, I love the way you said this! And I agree. The negativity from stylists is unnecessary. Your words and confidence in your hair inspires me to follow through with doing this at home! Thank you for the reminder that women are awesome!
You make a good point about crying over $300 cut/color/style. I’m tired of paying money to “high-end” salon hairdressers who do a shitty job. I’m ready to just learn to do it myself. It’s not rocket science, they act like mixing shit together is something only highly skilled ppl can figure out. Yes, it does take a lot of research and following the instructions, but normal ppl can do this themselves. The disasters happen when ppl don’t read the instruction or are too impatient and cut corners or they’re trying something that their hair can’t do
I’ve often wondered if I could pull off doing my balayage maintenance at home to save the expense of the salon. This video made me realize that no, I most certainly cannot. Will gladly keep giving my hair stylist my money because you guys are wizards
Chandra Cox Nope. Some people don’t have the skills for it and will ruin their own hair. Either practice on wigs first until you’re an expert or go to a hair stylist. Even if you succeed on a mannequin, it’s still super hard to do it on your own head. I would wanna do this but I’ll mess it up so I rather just use the eZn foam bleach to lighten my hair
Oh my dear lord, I just love the comments "No you can do this yourself". Ok, Karen. I totally thought those bleach do it yourself pre-hole cut plastic wraps from Arbor Drugs in order to create the perfect chunky hilight was the total shit back in 1997, but no one actually thought that was a good look. This is why we pay people to do what they do, because they know how to do it.
I can't thank you enough Sylvia , After my hairdresser went on leave and another girl over bleached my foiled hair so badly I honestly thought my hair would never recover...but 6 months later no trip to the salon I've been re touching my hair with your steps of baby lights and hand painting. My hair is so happy . Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx
I’m also a licensed cosmo girl and I think this is bad ass that you can highlight your own hair! I feel very strongly that I can achieve this also! Thank you bb!
Marie Wilfong yes! But you can buy bleach and developer (use 20 vol since her bleach has bonder she bumped to 30 vol). Then to root tap buy 6n in wella, for toning try something like 9na and 10n! Make sure root tap and toner are Demi or semi permanent, they will have their own processing fluid, do not use 20 vol! Best of luck!
As a stylist whose been doing her hair own hair for years this is exactly how i’ve been doing mine for awhile now. This method does work. Actually touching up my blonde today! Great video.
Absolutely love this tutorial, and have been using this technique at home the last year and a half with amazing results! My hair is much healthier now that I'm only doing this 3x a year and it's the longest its been in a decade due to the lack of breakage from not bleaching it constantly! Thanks for this video! 😁❤
Finally a local stylist. I hate finding someone I love and realizing I’d never even have the chance to get colored by them. But you.. you’re right here 👍🏽😁
Thank you thank you thank you for making this!!!!!!! I have never gotten my hair to lift to where I needed it to be or get the tone I wanted, but now it’s perfect!!!!!! My banding is gone and so is a majority of the warmth I had. I’m so happy! Thank you!!
I have just followed this tutorial step by step product by product and WOW It has exceeded all my expectations . Thank you for sharing your tips.. AMAZING!!!!
You are simply the best on youtube, sharing all this knowledge. Thanks to your tutorials I have been able to maintain my hair at home and usually asked where I get my hair done and getting compliments. Thank you 💖💖
🎉❤❤I did this to my hair, and the only thing I used was blonde me bleach instead. No smell, some bleeding bud the toner process she mentions, makes a big difference. Finally had time for me! Thanks girl. Once I do this more and more, the better the outcome! Thank you
This video came just in time. I'm putting in my hi lights today. I just noticed something I must have missed in passed videos. Teasing the root before bleach application... hmmm... Gloss at the root... I'm thinking that's going to help with hot roots, that struggle is real for me which, is why I avoid going above a level seven lately. Love it...
I tried this! Didn't use proper foil and stripped some kitchen which was difficult to work with so definitely invest in salon foil. I also used the Moroccan sand root tap and then blended a little of that with the mist EQ for my overall toner. I am no expert and the bleaching was far from perfect - although colour lifted fine, the toners really make the look and fix and unwanted orange as well as blending the bleach lifted parts. Would highly recommend if you have lockdown hair woes! Thanks so much Silvia! I love my new hair and can't believe I managed to sort my blonde out as I'm a natural brunette! X
WOW! this is amazing! I love your hair. You made it look so easy and flawless! Id never attempt this at home but thank you for showing us how to do this!!
I'm a hair stylist of 12yrs & am about to use this technique on myself! I was also trained by Redken & use their products as well; this is for sure the easiest technique to do a DIY baylayage! You go girl! Deffo a helpful video! Thanks fellow stylist,😋😎😍

After spending 1 year cutting my own hair, what i can do reasonably well by now, and after watching a ton of your Videos just made my order online of a bleaching powder, developer and shades eq to tone my balayage/ highlight attempt. Now all i have to do is wait for it to get delivered and give it a go!
Can't wait to watch this! I used your babylights tutorial and mixed it with what I've learned through other stylists on RU-vid and Instagram videos (and filmed a video that I still haven't posted) and it went really well! Maybe I'll try this next! :)
Thank you for your tutorials! I have been binging for the past few days lol. After going to three hairdressers that can’t seem to cut my hair to the very basic cut I show pictures of, I’m going to do it myself. Thanks for all the tips. It has nothing to do with the amount of money,it has to do with someone listening to what I want!!
@@Cmm474 that’s so disappointing and I’m sorry you aren’t satisfied after spending so much money. I have been very satisfied with doing my own cuts and color! It might be worth it for you to do a virtual consult with Silvia and get some advice.
Omg I just attempted this for my own hair because I'm just done going to the salon. And this was sooooo hard 😆 BUT I was able to manage. And it came out pretty decent for the first time ever doing touch up or highlights 😬😳
Oh my gosh. Watching you do the back of your hair just by the 'feel' of painting it...showed what a MASTER you are. I need to come to San Fran . to see you.:)
It’s now May 15th, 2020. I have been trying so SO hard to keep my unlicensed/uninformed hands off of my hair but I have an incredible lack of self discipline, my balayage has completely grown out and Im seeing way too much of my natural hair color for the first time in like.. i dunno .. how old would you be in 5th grade? Well, take whatever that age is and minus it from 30. Anyway, I can’t take it anymore and I’m just gonna go for it. I’m so happy to have this video as a guide and a great source of information. Wish me luck!
Your videos have helped me so much. I am unable to go to a hairdresser to have my hair coloured as sitting at the shampoo bowls can be quite damaging to my neck (I have EDS, my joints dislocate and partially dislocate v easily). But I love being creative with hair colour and thanks to people like yourself, Ive learnt how to do it myself. Been doing it for about past 30 years, luckily have never ruined my hair doing it myself. Although sometimes my colour choices have been questionable! 😂 Thankyou for teaching us, and being respectful about it! I'd love to be able to have a professional do my hair, while I sip tea and gossip with the hairdresser! But unfortunatly its not something I can do. Your hair always looks great. 😃 🌹🌹🌹 Edit: dodgey spelling! 😂
Looks so easy to do it by yourself, but I know that it's hard... Want to take a risk and to do a touch up on my roots by myself. Thanks for sharing with us. You help us to find a right and easy way to do.🥰♥️💐
I just want to thank you for all your help, you look gorgeous being pregnant as well. you an Adam remind me of me and my bf. you two are funny, you can tell you guys have been together in pandemic. lol I will try me best to follow this video and I will let you know how my hair turns out. just waiting for the rest of my product to get here.
I'm still trying to finish the very first bottle of Olaplex (got it cause your recommended it and what a life saver for the daring and DIY girl, like myself). The Redken kit is easier to use. I only used it once (because I had to try it). Can't wait to finish it so I can see how the Redken bonder works over time.
1. You are GORGEOUS 2. Love your videos; straight to the point & not annoying like most tutorials lol 3. I’m a 5 year licensed cosmetologist & even this is hard for me! Don’t want to be annoying but my hair is SO THICK & LONG this shit takes me foreverrrrr wish I lived closer to you! Thanks for the helpful video xxxx
To #ElleBangs, this video is amazing!!! I ordered all of these products a couple of months ago and have been scared to try this... but, I literally just got done doing this and my hair turned out so perfect! It’s not as light as yours, but that is because I wanted to keep it a bit more natural. I would say if someone has never done anything with their hair, go watch pros do it first in person. I used to bleach all of my hair for years but was not brave enough to try hightlights because it takes skill. But, ElleBangs, you are an awesome teacher and again, thank you so much!!! I love my hair! 💋
Wow! You are really good! I have watched so many tutorials on easier ways to do my own hair. By far, your's was so much more helpful. I've always done my own hair ( I did go to cosmetology school) and I'm a fellow Blondie. Thank you for simplifying this difficult task.
Have watched you for a long time, I'm a stylist and also do my own hair. Thank you for sharing, but the hardest thing for me is teasing the hair and getting the teasing out.
After spending $300+ for multiple botched highlights/balayages, this video is a god-send. I have been doing my own platinum blonde for years but want to transition to something more dimensional.
I love your videos and I’m learning so much on how to do my hair. Thank you so much 😊 for your tips and everything you do . What color do you use for your base color .
ellebangs thank u so much , I love beauty and hair mostly is my passion to learn more and be successful in this field , thank u for helping a lot of ppl ❤️❤️❤️
ellebangs I hope so I graduated in end of June and I got my license, I worked in a saloon for a month but the onwer said it was a low season and she couldn’t do it anymore , my question is how did u get started ? and what I can do so I can get hired in a saloon , like I looked for an assistant job , but nothing yet ? Like I word in a saloon as assistant before for 3 years but not the state , so do u have any advice for me how I could get started in the field
Taz Star get hired at a salon that continually offers continuing ed. I worked for Toni and Guy straight out of school. Mandatory classes. 1 year for cutting. 2 for color.
love all the videos ,makes it seem so easy but the public does not have access to redken shades eq hair colors, the only hair supply there is ,is SALLY which doesnt carry them
