(Blonde olaplex redken hair colour ombre Balayage hair how to ombre ombre vs balayage)
Welcome to The Life of Hair, my name's James Atkinson, and in this week's episode I've got an absolutely cracking balayage technique. Now I know a lot of you out. There are afraid of freehand painting without back combing, without putting things into place, to reassure yourself that you're going to get that perfect blend., I can absolutely guarantee this technique is virtually foolproof. Providing you follow the tips and tricks in this video., And it is an excellent technique to have up your sleeve, for when you wan na, get things done in a hurry, because it is a super, quick technique. And I charge usually half head highlight prices, including toner, And I can get this technique out in 30 minutes. Now, if you're not sure about this technique in the beginning, then I recommend that you use a freehand lightener or a clay lightener that is specific designed for balayaging and that way that you will get the ultimate Blend from that product as well, that will help you along the way.. However, once you get this technique down and you get the pressure right from your brush strokes, you can just go back to using normal bleach and you will experience a lot more lift from it.. I can guarantee almost six levels of lift out of these techniques, these days., And it is so useful to have that in the bag when you just wan na pull it out really really quickly.. This technique got me outta trouble twice last week when I needed to do some balayages, pretty quickly., It's Christmas guys. You know what happens. You know: clients get squeezed into your columns and you've got ta, get things done really really fast and this technique saved the day.. So I hope it does the same for you and if you enjoy it, you know what to do. Hit the subscribe button. Give it a thumbs up and I'll, see you again next week for another episode of The Life of Hair. ( upbeat music ), With this particular technique, we're going to take a diagonal forward section that is approximately three inches from the hairline traveling down to the corner Of the back hairline., We start approximately one third of the way down the hair and we build up our saturation.. Once we've started to build up our saturation, then we can put in our highlights.. In this instance, I'm gon na call them points of light.. Once our points of light are in, we then work our way down saturating the ends, but we are not going through and fully saturating the ends.. I shall show you in just a moment what I mean by that., Using your finger to smooth out your saturation. Is such a good tip.? It means that you can get that perfect end result. Again, on the opposite side, we're going to do exactly the same thing. We're going to just start one third of the way away from the root area. And we will apply an even layer of product before going In and painting in our points of light. Note, when we are doing the point of light, that is in the center back of this section, we do not want to take it all the way back up towards the root area, as it will create. One giant point of light in the center back., Something that I personally don't like.. So as you'll note, I have just created a shorter point of light and that will meet my point of light in the center back and create a much finer dainty piece.. As you can see, underneath, I have not gone through the section and saturated the hair underneath.. That is particularly important guys in this technique, when you are wanting to blend a balayage without using back combing., Full saturation techniques or techniques that want a lot more saturation through the ends will generally need a lot more blending.. This takes time and this costs money or makes the service more expensive.. Whichever one comes first. For our next section, we are working two and a half inches up the head.. You can take a three section if the client's hear or head shape determines you can., E.g. they've, got a larger head than my mannequin has'cause mannequin heads are quite small and it is a diagonal forward. Section again. Working first of all on our saturation of the ends is very very important.. Once we've worked on our saturation, we can then put in our lines or our points of light, as I described earlier.. These points of light wants to be the same thickness in terms of saturation as our ends.. This will mean that we will get even and consistent lift from root to tip.. This is one of the best pieces of advice. I can possibly give you in terms of creating a beautiful, even balayage, result., Try not to have less lightener in certain places on the areas that you have painted, because if you do, you will inevitably lift those areas. Differently. And I've noted that when I'm teaching my classes and teaching these balayage techniques that one of the things that I see a lot is people putting less product further up the hair, because they're worried about blending.. This is a mistake, especially when you're using a freehand lightener. As I am here.. You definitely want to ensure that your saturation is a bit like icing, a cake, the pieces of hair, where you have put lightener. You do not want to be able to see any hair through that lightener.. This will ensure maximum lifting and get the result that you were genuinely after.. If you can see the hair through the section, then you need to go back. Reload your brush and apply more lightener to the hair.. The section that I've taken here, as you can see, is running from a point between the crown and the occipital bone and down towards the top of the ear.. Once I've completed my sections, I then cover with a perspex sheet.. This is similar to cling film.. I'M now going to take a section from between the highest point of the head and the crown down to the front recession.. These diagonal sections are super important for added softness in this technique., So be assured that you are very diligent about the shape and the size of the section that you take., And you will also note I'm not particularly elevating my section in this instance, but I'm holding It in natural fall. This will help immensely when it comes to blending the hair and deciding where you want your color to live. I'll note in this particular instance. I have not showed you me painting the right side of this technique, because I am simply just mirroring exactly what I am doing here on the left side.. I am working up the head in even sections though. I started on the left.. Then I did the right. The left, the right, the left, the right. - This is very important for even lift.. The section that you about to see me paint is a big triangular section and it is the final section., But what you are watching me do is a superb trick for a freehand money piece. One of my absolute favorite money, piece techniques is this particular technique, and I have showcased it in a previous video, where I showed a freehand balayage painting technique.. Now I have elevated that section straight up into the air, and now I'm combing my section so that I can lower my section.. This is not always necessary, but I wanted to show you that it is sometimes necessary so that you can get your section down so that you've got no elevation to paint in your points of light that will sit in the natural parting or wherever the client wears Their hair. On the opposite side. I won't do this just to prove that it's not always necessary, but if you do need to comb your section then make sure that when you have combed your section, you will remove product and you reapply so that you have got even an thick saturation. On this Opposite side, I will simply just work my section straight up to the sky, making sure my saturation is thick and even - and I cannot see any of the hair that I want to be blonde. But you will note, as I work towards the top, I will simply just drop my section slightly., And this will allow me to paint it without having to comb it through and disturb my even saturation that I just created.. That is a little tip that I learned along the way and one that I really wanted to share with you guys. But equally I wanted you to see that sometimes you will need to comb your section to be able to lay it down horizontally so that you can put your points of light. In. People ask me all the time. Where should I put my points of light when I'm working in the parting And my response to that is wherever you see fit., I know that that's not the best answer that anyone could want, but balayage is a freehand painting technique and it's to the discretion of You and your client how much color you leave in that parting area., Here's the finished painting phase of this technique.. You will note that I have just left it to process with the cling film on and removed it for the virtue of showing you this picture.. Now, once I have removed my color after 45 or 50 minutes of processing, I will then apply a toner evenly throughout with no root stretches or anything like that to disguise my blending., And you will see that you will have a really nice beautiful blend. At the end, here. - And I hope you'll agree that that money piece around the face looks absolutely stellar. A technique that I love to do., So easy, so high impact and a great commercial technique. One that you can do in a absolute pinch in around 30 minutes. It is all done., I hope, you've enjoyed this episode and if you have then please hit that subscribe button hit that thumbs up button.. It really helps me with the videos - and I will see you again next week for another episode of The Life of Hair. (, peaceful, music, )

Harry Denis: i enjoy your work, style and charisma very much! thank you! i have one question that keeps bugging me tho: regarding the front piece, when you paint the underside and then proceed to lay it down and paint the surface, aren't you concerned (or do you make sure in any way that it doesn't happen) with bleeding towards the upper surfaces?? i hope you can understand my question. all love
Christy Aldape: Absolutely made this understandable, quick, and gave me some confidence
Cheryl Nye: Anyone else watching this because they are about to attack they're own hair with bleach
Jose: Great video, beautiful result. I was wondering if you set a timer for 45 minutes, do you start when just applied bleach, or when you’re al done? Bleached and toned for the first time. Took me 40 minutes with foils, so the first ones were almost done when I finished what do you recomand?
Debbie Packer: You make this look so easy. I really want to try this on myself, but I just don't know how easy it would be to paint the back pieces. It would look so much better than the foils I've been doing though.

Sisa Sandi: I have question- do you charge your clients with different hair length -the same price ? Many thanks . Love this tutorial ❤️
Makeupby KarenJ: Thank you for sharing this technique. I know the video is older but I assume it is one you still support as a good method.

Diana Broit: Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Deyse Lobato: This technique is the more simple I've seen ever.I loved it.

✝️𝚜𝚊𝚛𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚎✝️: Thank you so much for the efforts making the video James, much appreciated.
Kate DeLaughter: Gorgeous! I love it
Anna Landis: Hi, I’m wanting to try this technique myself sometime soon. I got balayage professionally a few months back, but I wasn’t happy with the result as it just wasn’t as much blonde as I wanted. Do you recommend I try not to overlap with the areas that have already been lightened a lot? Or is it okay to put bleach on top of those. And what level developer do you suggest I use? My natural hair is level 7 and the lightened pieces are probably level 9.
Tina Randall: What color toner did you use and did you put it on wet hair? If so, how long did you leave your toner? What brand toner? It looks auburn... nice job!
pimpmyride: Beautiful result sir. Thank you. I have to teach a class on this and I think I will use this technique.
Face Up: Hi James So, I understand that balayage is more meant to be done on wavy or curlier hair, but what is the best application with balayage type results on straight hair? It seems my straight hair clients all want balayage but it never looks even and I’m never happy with it.
Dao Hoang: I love the way you do. It’s perfect.
Maggie Thompson: I’ll definitely be doing this!
chelysss2119: Buen trabajo gracias
NATALIE ROBERTS: TY for sharing...I like your technique the best because it’s less damaging to the hair..and looks fantastic!!
CL Boymom: This was the simplest technique I’ve seen, thank you! Question.. if can you still color your roots when your hair has a balayage without ruining it? I have some grey coming in and every couple monthsI have to color my roots. Will this destroy the balayage?
Tabatha Cain: Love your technique. What is the film you use to place over the lightener? It looks faster and quicker then plastic wrap
Becky Luther: Hi, I absolutely love watching your videos...i have learned so much from them. I do have a question...how would this turn out with long layered hair?
Ilovecookie🍪: Thanks! Looks easy technique.
valeria sepulveda: Me encantoooo!!!! Lo pondre en practica! Saludos desde chile
Helen Musgreave: The points of light gave natural blonde light effect especially around face and done so fast love, love it
user739: Beautiful result , is it light enough at the end to tone, or would adding a toner darken the hair? Rookie cosmo student here.
Alev: This is soooooo useful!
Meisje met de parel: I need to do this! you are the best, James!
Erin Cross: Just wanted to clarify processed view of parting prior to rinsing and toning looks different than finished look- did you apply on a middle part or the part that this is styled with for the finish look?
Nicole Dickerson: I wish I could use this but when you work with mostly level 3 hair or lower freehand equals orange. If someone has tips to use freehand on the darkest levels I’m open to hear
Olzhena: “Free color technique”- I love it
Incognitoo3: This is beautiful. I appreciate you so much.
Cristina Palomino, Realtor: HI James love your techniques, can you please post the formulas that you use will be very helpful. Thank you
JJ Faulkner: I'm going to start using points of light that sounds so good
Donna Hartzman: Absolutely beautiful
leanne dovey: Looks the easiest to do. So il be giving it a go myself.
SickWhitit: I just subscribed to your channel after watching another balayage video. I noticed you used diagonal forward sections in this technique but diagonal back in the other. Why would you choose one over the other? Thank you for taking the time to put out education like this. You are so clear and easy to follow. Love your videos!
Radhika Thapa: You are a great hair dresser I loved it your work it's very helpful for me
Esdras Bove: Hi! I will definitely try this technique. You explained it so well and simple. What lightener did you use? And what is the mixing ratio of it with the developer?
Frieda muljono: This technic you teach is so practical and great result...Thanks so much ...
Jill Jacobs: So beautiful!!! Hurry up with more please!!!!!
Shannon Martin: Easy enough to try on myself, by myself at home (eek) thanks!
juliet oneill: Beautiful thank you for sharing.
Julianna_L: This technique help me a lot ! Thank you !!!!!!

Ashleigh Shea Photography: Hi James, My daughter has naturally wavy to curly hair. It's now a dark blonde, can I ask what colour blonde you recommend her balyage be? Thank you.
