Foilayage | For Minimal Grow Out , Perfect For Once A Year Clients!!!

Hey guys, if you have a client that only comes in maybe once a year, maybe every year and a half, then this is the perfect bonding service for you, as you can see in the before she had minimal grow out. So if you want to see how we tackle this service, then keep watching you can follow me on instagram at christia at the cottage here's my clients before and as i said, it has been about a year and a half since she's been in minimal, grow out. Not really too bad and too heavy. So this is a perfect service for those of you who or those who have clients don't come in very regularly and to start the service. We did um a couple inches of a trim, hey guys for the color, we're going to do today. The clay that i'm doing is about every 18 months or so like she comes in maybe once a year, maybe every year and a half, so her hair is very long and grown out needs a really good trim. Her goal is always just to like brighten it. A little bit heavier around the face and through the ends that way she can let it like grow out for quite a while. Obviously, so that's what we're going to do today just focus more around the face. I'M going to use my schwarzkopf blonde me with 20 volume and olaplex, and that's it all right and here's. My schwarzkopf blonde me with 20 volume that i generally use for all of my clients to start we're gon na do the vertical hairline foils. These are my favorite, obviously, if you're new to the channel. The reason why i like foiling vertically off the hairline is because it has more of a natural look to it. It doesn't create, like any harsh lines, up the side of the head, and so that way it looks more like as if it was just sun kissed by the sun, and it grows out much more subtle and softly. So we're just gon na throw a few of these foils in um we're not doing like a super heavy foil on her or balayage or foilage or whatever. So i'm really just gon na do maybe like three or four on the sides and then flip to the other side. I also want to say that when i do these foils you'll be able to see when i flip to the other side a little bit better. But i do a really thin slice right on the hairline and then i do a really fine weave directly in that slice. So there's a small barrier right on the hairline of their natural hair. That falls directly on top, so i'm kind of leaving a little bit of a veil of their natural directly on the hairline um that will kind of help the hair blend back when they pull their hair back. So i'm not foiling and taking my weave directly off of the hairline, i'm taking a little slice and then weaving behind the slice so that way their natural falls on top. I don't want to do the foil directly like pick up my foil off of their hairline and then foil off of that, because then that will create more of a look of grow up, because the blonde will be directly off of their temples like you can see Here i'm taking a slice and then weaving just underneath the slice, so there's still going to be a little bit of the hair. That'S laying on the foot on her temples right there that you can see and that's going to be like a small veil of hair. That'S kind of like a small little barrier between the hairline um, a natural little slice of hair and then a weave of blonde. If somebody wants it like really super bright blonde and they're, not afraid of grow out or you know they come in regularly, then you could very well go in and just take like some weaves or slices directly on the hairline and not even worrying about leaving that Little bit of like subsection or veil behind, if they want it to be super bright, that's totally fine. I just feel like this helps: have a little bit more of a softer grow out, helps it be a little bit more natural, looking without being too heavy of a line of demarcation when they pull their hair back so um. That'S just how i prefer to do it, but again, if somebody wants it a little bit more bright, then you can definitely do it a little bit heavier and right on the hairline all right and for her money piece we're going to take this fine little section And again, because she does come in a little bit more spread out than typical clients. I like to do a little bit more fine of a weave than what i normally would do. I might do it a little bit heavier, but because i want to make sure this is really soft. I don't want to go in too heavy-handed, so this is like a super fine little baby light literally just taking little strands on these very first few foils, and that's so that if she pulls her hair straight back as it grows out, she's not gon na have Like again, a super heavy line of demarcation, so these first two foils are going to be really fine and weaving out. So she has some of her natural to break it up and help blend. But then, as i work my way back, you'll see these next two foils that i do on this side. I might move back and forth in the video, but when i come back around to this side, you'll see that the next foils i'm doing a little bit heavier, but i'm also gon na weave and back comb it and that's gon na help. It be a little bit stronger and a little bit more bold of a blonde piece, but because we're back combing it and weaving it. It'S gon na help. It blend a little bit more softly into the root and kind of gradually. You know get a little bit brighter through um, like the first inch of her root area or whatever, and then obviously, nice and bright through the ends. So those very first two foils are going to help be a little bit softer and then a little bit more of a brightness is going to fall. On top of that, my so you can see these weaves that we're doing now are a little bit thicker and a little bit heavier and that's going to give her a little bit more brightness in the money piece area. But everything underneath this directly on the hairline is going gon na be much softer looking. So it's gon na help minimize the appearance of grow out and having a heavy harsh line of demarcation right at the top of her, like part right on her forehead whatever. So that's why i like doing the first few foils a little bit softer and then going a little bit heavier and um more thicker, of a weave towards the top part of the money piece now we're going in for our foilage. I always like to do more of a zigzag parting, a little zigzag, sectioning weave back comb, a lot of people say like they have a hard time getting their blend really nicely to help it eliminate any lines in the hair, and i, if you for me, if You take a straight section, a straight parting and then just do that and paint that i feel like that in itself could potentially create lines in the hair. So that's why i like to go through and do like a zigzag sectioning, because the hair is going to kind of break up when those points fall back on top of it when the hair lays down. So that's kind of one of the ways that i get a better blend and then obviously the weave and the back combing everything will just blend together really nicely so we're just gon na go through and do the same thing up through the top section of the Hair and we're gon na leave some subsection in between, because we're not trying to go like too heavy blonde or anything. We obviously want to maintain some of her natural tones in there and her dimension, because we want to make sure that we have softer grow out. So um we're going to leave a little bit heavier of a subsection on the sides right here, these first few foils and then, as we make our way up to where she parts her hair. I'M going to start doing smaller weaves and smaller sections of foils that i'm gon na be doing, and i'm gon na be doing them closer together because nobody ever parts their hair in the same exact spot like even if they part their hair. On the same side. They'Re not always going to pull the same pieces of hair together. So what i like to do, because i don't know about you, but i know i've had it happen in the past, where i'm like blow drying someone's hair styling, it parting their hair. I part their hair exactly where they have like even distribution of the blonde, and then they go and mess with their hair and they like part their hair, how they part it and it falls where a subsection was so then a lot of blonde falls on one Side of the part, but then a lot of that subsection falls on the other side, so how i have learned to prevent that from happening. Learn from my mistakes, you guys um. I like to do much thinner, foils. You can see here that these foils are a little bit heavier of a weave. This is kind of like a standard weave these next few foils. When i get up closer to where she parts her hair, you're gon na see, i'm doing like almost no subsections in between the foils are gon na be closer together. But they're gon na be um a thinner weave that i'm taking and then i might be back combing them a little bit heavier. But this is gon na make sure that this little inch of a section that i'm doing where she, where her hair might fall where she parts it on that side is gon na ensure that wherever her hair falls, she's gon na have an even distribution of blonde. So make sure you do that, like i can't emphasize that enough. There'S like it's the worst when somebody parts their hair and they're like oh, why does all the blonde fall on this side and you're like? Oh, if you just you, know, snudge it over a little bit, then you'll get a little bit more blonde, but you shouldn't have to do that. So make sure that to cover yourself and to make sure that you have good coverage and even balance make sure that you're, just maybe putting the foils in a little bit tighter exactly where they part their hair and maybe doing a less thick of a section. And maybe some smaller pieces that way it still blends really nicely. So. Okay, just wanted to leave that there all right now we're over on the other side and we're just gon na repeat the same thing until we meet up to the other top section, and i always like to foil whenever i'm doing someone's hair wherever they part their Hair i like to foil from the side and then all the way just beyond their part. That way, i know that i have their part section covered. I foiled exactly how i want everything to lay where the part falls. Sometimes you just forget like when you're working on one side and then you move to the other side and when you get to the top, you kind of forget like where their part is or where you are with your application. So i always like to make sure and to double check my work to know that i'm the detail is going to be exactly where i want it, so i always make sure to foil just beyond the part to know that i have that covered there. So now after i foil beyond the part - and i come back around the other side - i can know that that's okay and that's fine, and i don't need to worry about my subsections as much and then um. Some people ask. I do full saturation, obviously um in these foils. You can see that i'm not like. I might surface paint and like feather up as i get to like the root area, but then through the ends and the rest of the hair, i'm doing full heavy saturation. A lot of my clients that come in for blonde, they don't want any golden tones. They either want it like really super bright, icy, blonde super ashy or whatever, and i just feel like surface painting or open air balayage creates too much warmth in the hair. So, in my experience you guys um, so i like to go through and do foils. That'S why you'll see a lot of my work is foil, work or foliage or whatever, and i do here, you can see i'm doing full saturation and that's just to make sure that i get really nice even lift and the brightest lift possible. I was just thinking like the last few videos that i've done, i think, have been more like blonde specific videos which i usually try to break them up with some. You know darker hair, more of a natural balayage or something, but i feel, like you know, we're getting to spring. Clients are wanting to start going a little bit more blonde, but uh my blog videos on my channel, which i don't understand this. I know i've mentioned it before, but my blonde videos tend to not like be a fan favorite, so i feel like that's kind of so i i apologize if you guys have been watching and like blonde, is not your thing but um. I just feel like this time time of year, a lot of clients are wanting to like brighten up for spring, get ready for summer, whatever, especially here in like rainy washington like it. Just people are like any little bit of blue sky. Okay, it's time to start blonding, my hair up a little bit more so um. So if you like blonde videos, please raise your hand in the comment section, because those are my favorite too personally, but for some reason, like my blonde videos that i upload usually don't do as well as the others. So, if you're watching and if you're lasting this long and if you're staying through the rest of the video, then you're the real mvp - and i appreciate you so thank you for your time for watching this whole this whole service. Okay, i just want to say like these one pieces right here i need to let you guys know that this bleach that i'm using has been sitting for probably like 45 minutes or so to an hour. So it's very weak at this point and i'm not concerned that it's going to cause any damage. So i just want to say that i would not come on here um and foil, her hair, the initial like beginning part of the service with fresh bleach, because i believe that would cause damage so just make sure when you're doing these services - and i do believe That short scuff is a little bit more of a stronger bleach. I always get really great lift with it. Um just make sure that you're being cautious of the blonde hair there's some areas where i'm weaving out or not running bleach through the ends, there's some areas where i know that it can handle it and it's okay so, but i just want, i did want to Say for that front section there, where it's already really blonde, but we want to go a little bit brighter that i'm using like bleach. That has been sitting for quite a while so um and i always go back and check my foils throughout the service to make sure if they need to be pulled early, then i pull them out but um. I just wanted to say that so that nobody comes for me in the comment section all right so now that we got her foils in we're gon na go through and we're gon na try to brighten up the ends a little bit more, so we're just gon Na go through take some of these sections, weave them back comb them. You can see that she has some of that natural falling underneath that we've eaved out. So that's still gon na maintain a lot of her natural dimension in there. So we're just going to go through and brighten up some of these ends and i'm really only doing about two sections. Uh, let's see two sections on like through the top sides on either side and then i believe i'm just gon na go through and do like. The lower hairline pieces and i'm gon na go through the ends at like the very bottom, where, like you know the ear around that area, the hair that comes from that area, i'm gon na do one foil um through the ends for that section, so we're just Gon na go through and brighten up, some of these end pieces all right, so this is it just checking her hair see how it lays making sure we have the blonde where we want it, and this is her full application that we did, and so i'm just Checking her foil scene if it needs to process a little bit longer, and it does so we're going to let it sit for about 15, more minutes reapply where we need to, and so now that she's all done we're going to pull the foils out. You can see how nice and bright that got and we're going to pull some of the bleach through the ends. Okay, so she lifted pretty nicely. Her hair is probably like a natural level. Seven, a warm seven, so i feel like we're able to lighten really nicely so we're gon na tone now and she likes to just be like a really nice bright blonde. So i think i'm going to finish up this little bit of b v in here. Just to keep it a little bit warmer um, the 10p, which is my favorites and maybe just like a little bit of the 9v just for whatever um like lighter pieces of level 9. There are still because she does have some like not a whole bunch, but just like some brassiere areas, so also maybe a little bit of 10v just to keep it um a little bit more of that level. 10 in there. The reason why i'm doing um, also the 10 v versus just straight 10 pa, is because we want to keep it nice and like a cooler blonde, and i feel like if i do too much of the 10 pa without the v um. The v cancels like yellow tones, so i feel like we need that 10 v in there to like just brighten up and neutralize the warmth, that's in there sitting at the level 10. But if i just use straight pa, then it's going to actually deposit like a lot ashier tones which might like cause it to look too dark. So doing half and half of each of them versus just one or the other um like the 10pa, will give it a really nice pretty like icy cool blonde, but adding the v to it will prevent it from over toning and looking too ashy. Okay, okay just had to clear that up so um pretty much equal parts of the 10v 10pa, i'm just using a little bit of that 10bv to finish that up and just a smidge of the 9v just for those darker brassier areas. So i know it's kind of hard to see how i mix, but the majority of my formulations are the level tens and just probably like a quarter of the formulations are of the 9b and the 10 bv. So here we are she's just been processing for about five minutes, and then you can see here in this next shot after processing for the full time 15 minutes um how much cooler she looks and how much it eliminated. She still has some of those warmer tones from where and she came in before, but i think we did a really good job of neutralizing it and sometimes leaving those warmer blondes behind help give it a little bit more of a softer, more natural look. So um we're just gon na blow dry and style the hair, but i like, for you guys to be able to see as i'm blow drying and um. You know how the color looks and everything so we're just going to style. I don't usually keep like the full um styling part of the video in because i know not a lot of you guys like to see that. But then there is a lot of people that do ask about. How do i style my clients here so um? I just wanted to show you guys, so you can see um how i sell my clients here. So i always do to the back center on both sides, and then i let it cool down kind of let the ends hang out a little bit more and that will kind of give it more of a softer look and and then we let that cool down And at the very end, we'll comb it all out. Oh, i know somebody's gon na ask so the curling iron that i'm using i love. This is from jay-z styles. If you guys watch her youtube channel, she has an extension line and she has tools that she use. I love this curling iron. It'S, i can't remember the exact size, but it's great for like loose body waves and then also it's a long barrel. So it's great for like clients with extensions or longer hair, so now that her hair is cooled, we're gon na comb it all out and that's that's what helps the hair curl and like give it that nice body wave all right. Here'S her before again! Oh those ends, i'm so glad we were able to snip off, like probably three or four inches of those ends, and then here's the after you can see that everything still blends really nicely into her roots. She'S kind of got like a nice natural soft root shadow up there with just like the back combing um, and it maintained her natural in there pretty nicely so that way, as her hair grows out, it's not going to be too heavy of a line of demarcation And she'll be able to go like another year or, however long again before her next service, and then you can see here just a little bit softer and brighter around the face.
