Creating A Brown Balayage On Black Hair

Hey guys, who are here with Mellie today, I'm Ellie hi. So today what we're gon na be doing with her hair is we're actually going to be lifting out some of the slack. So what we did the last time is color for their black and I made sure to check in like okay. Are we not making this lighter any time soon, because black is very permanent? That was maybe a month ago, yeah yeah yeah two months ago and now guess what we're going lighter. So this does happen. Sometimes people change their minds. We'Re gon na be doing a balayage in the hair, so we're gon na have to be lightening the color out and we're gon na get her to the lightest Brown. We can good thing is that we're not going for a blonde, so we're not gon na have to lift too far. The key is to keep Mellie's hair very healthy, and so in a month or two we might actually add some lighter extension pieces in there. So we don't have to do too much processing and all in all her hair is gon na look awesome. We are ready to get started and we have her hair sectioned out into four quadrants. We are going to be taking sections about this wide and we're going to be splitting that section into two. So we're going to be leaving out the bottom portion of this section, because we do want to keep black her natural color into the final result. We aren't going to be doing an ombre. We want it to be a baleog where the lighter color is mixing in with her natural. We are going to be doing a finer weave into the hair like so, and we're going to be painting on the lightener into the hair, making sure to saturate the hair, fully making sure to feather the lightener into the dark root so that it creates a very Diffuse deny and turn your brush to the side and lightly feather into the hair, make sure you're staggering the amount of dark you leave in each foil as you go through that's going to ensure that we have a very diffused blending line from dark to light. Now, on the third foil, you're gon na see how much start we're gon na be leaving we're mainly focusing lower on the strand for the lightener and we're going to be rotating and alternating between these three staggered amounts. As we work through the head, you can see how the foils are sitting from how far they're staggered from the root of the hair. We are now working around the front of the head around the face, and this is going to be a very visual process. We can see exactly where we want the color to lie and visualize how we want to paint it on to the hair. You can see that we're wanting to have a little bit more lightness around the face, so we have it angled backwards where we have more light in the front and less in the back. We are going to continue staggering how much dark we leave in the hair. Like we did before alternating between the three different amounts for each foil as we go here, are her foils all applied. You can really see the staggering pattern of the foils once they're. All in let's take a peek into the foils here we can see that it's lifting out very nicely and that the remaining pig net is is exactly where we want it to be, because we're doing a rich brown color. This color underneath is really gon na. Add a great foundation so that it's gon na hold the color. Well, we have all the foils washed out now and you can take a look at how this color looks. It'S perfect for our last stage, where we're going to be coloring. The hair here is the color all applied. Alright, we're all done here and look how nice this looks here. We have this beautiful color coming through here this nice, like caramely, honey, tippet. Oh, how do you like it Mele? Oh, I know it so. Well, probably we're gon na work it out. We might be doing extensions as well to add some lightness into it, but other than that we're good to go. Our hair still looks really nice and healthy and strong.
