DON'T FORGET TO LIVE YOUR EXTRA LIFE!
Hi beautiful so have you ever been to a salon, sat down to get your hair done by the stylist they're like? What do you want to do with your hair today and then you look at them and they look at you and you look back and you're sitting there saying things like I want bright highlights, starting at my eye going down and getting lighter at the bottom and, Like a little bit of darkness over here and over here and your stylist is just like: oh what's what are you talking about and then the stylist proceeds to use big words like baby lights, balayage, we're painting route, shadows, route, smudges and you're like? Who is that, I don't know anybody named route smudge well today, I'm here to help mend hair, stylists and clients and bring peace to the world, maybe not a lot but like I'll just a little bit. So we're gon na go over all the tricky words and phrases so by the end of today's video you'll have a much better understanding of highlights how they work, how they're done and how to ask for the kinds of highlights you're. Looking for that way, you and your colorist can be on the same exact page and you will get the hair of your dreams. So let's do it whoo. So what are highlights Brad, let's start with the absolute most basic of basic, just making both get a clearer understanding of what we're talking about today. The word highlights really just describes the letter pieces put into the hair. To add dimension to the color highlights are a great way to make your hair look more vibrant, more healthy, attract, more light to your hair. That way it bounces off and gives you amazing gloss to your hair. Everybody could use highlights in some which way hair color. Just looks better more natural and more professionally done when there is a highlight involved in the color process. Now let me know the absolute basics of what a highlight is. Let'S move on to some examples of a different kinds of highlights, and I have quite a few for you - so get your notepad out start taking notes we're gon na go over a lot of things today and hopefully it'll help you. So let's talk about full saturation, hair painting or balayage balayage. I don't know where exactly that word came from, but it's a interesting word that a lot of people can't pronounce. They say boo Liege, they say college, they say but bill age like I've, heard everything everything and I laugh every time. So I like to refer to balayage as hair painting is just easier. It makes more sense in people's heads. Just go with that: hair painting and people know what that is, so here's an example of full of saturation hair painting now what full of saturation hair painting is is when you take both sides of the hair and you fully saturate it so you're, not only painting The surface you're painting the underneath of that surface and making sure all of the lightener is fully saturated on the hair strand to make it super thick and creamy and have a lot of Lightner on each strand of the hair. This will give you a super dimensional chunky, beautiful, highlight and don't let the word chunky scare you. I try not use that with clients, because the word chunky just brings peel back to like the 90s. When we were doing like awful chunky highlights, I mean it was cool back then, like I'm, don't get me wrong, but a lot of the time we start off with chunkier highlights and then we do something called a root shadow which we'll get to later, but full Saturation painting is something that I do on most clients just because it is the most bang for your buck and you can get a lot of surface area covered in a short amount of time and it creates a beautiful result. As seen in these photos and that's full saturation, hair, painting or balayage is when you paint both sides of the hair and make a beautiful highlighted strand with your Lightner okay. Next, let's move on to a partial saturation hair painting. Now this is hard to decipher between a full saturation, hair paint and partial. They can pretty much be intermixed as much as you want. I am a full saturation kind of girl because I like to you know, get it done fast and I like to get it heavy high light in there. However, there are clients say they had our hair and they're. Looking for a tiny bit of lightness going through and they want to look natural, you might just take the surface of the hair and paint the top of it. Instead of painting both the underneath and the top and fully bringing all that light. Nur through the hair strands that way when their hair is blow-dried and done, it is a very subtle highlight effect. That kind of just has a sprinkle of lightness going through the head and it doesn't look totally highlighted and fully saturated. However, you can also make a super dimensional blond if you are only painting the surface because say when you lift your hair up or you flip your head over you're gon na see a lot of darkness underneath those highlights, if you only do a partial saturation, you're Gon na have all of that darkness. Staying on the bottom of the hair, and it's gon na give you a beautiful dimension as you in this picture, which is also a beautiful look, usually I'm using partial saturation hair painting when I'm doing darker hair. When I don't want a crazy HD bright highlight on the head or I'm transitioning, somebody out of just a regular single process, full one color hair moment and they kind of want to test out the waters of highlighting and I kind of just sweep some highlights on The top of their hair that way they get just a little bit more dimension, but it's not a totally crazy difference for them and then next time maybe we'll move on to full saturation and we'll add more and more highlights each time that is partial saturation, hair Painting or balayage, and let's move on to the next thing: let's talk about baby lights or a fine weave highlight so typically, these are done in foils because they use the extreme amount of heat to incubate them and make them super bright. Also foils are just a great way to organize your sections and keep everything neat and clean and tidy and beautiful and the hardness of the foil is just really easy to maneuver and to fold and to keep in place so foil. There is a great option when you're so baby lights. This is a new term that people like to use when saying their weaves are super super duper, fine that you can hardly even see them and that's basically, what baby lights are. So people usually use a tail comb, they slice a section out and they do a super fine weave of the hair and then they laid on the foil paint it with Lightner. And you can do just a few of these to make a very low impact result. But a beautiful little sparkle on the hair or you can do a ton of them and have a really high-impact blonde result. This will give you hardly any line, a demarcation where you highlight at the hair, so the finer, the weave, usually the less visible to the eye of where you actually got highlights done so people like to do this to make a super blended look most of the Time and it's a beautiful result, if you have the patience for it, you can also combine baby lights on the top of the hair, with full saturation values like we talked about before and it'll give you this kind of beautiful sparkly glow at the top, with a Really high impact full saturation highlight at the bottom, and that is something that I like to do. A lot is combine both those techniques and by the way, you guys we're going through all these techniques right now, but most these things you combine one to three different techniques on one head in order to make a creative masterpiece of hair, so baby lights will give You that very soft dimensional little sprinkle of highlights okay. Next, let's talk about sliced highlights. So, instead of doing the weave, like we talked about last time, we can also do is something called a slice which is my favorite? Listen full saturation and slicing. Yes, give it to me right now, so a slice is literally just a slice. This is what it looks like you just put the comb through. Take that section and you put the foil on and you paint it with Lightner slicing - is a great way to get a lot of highlights done in a little amount of time. It is a great way to get high impact high volume of highlights, and do it very fast because you'll have to take that time to actually leave the highlight. You can just slice it and you put on the foil and you're done and you move on. You move on and move on and you can actually make these slices quite thick if you'd like to and you can follow up with a route smudge or route shadow at the end in order to blend all of the seams. But it's a much faster, much easier approach to highlighting, in my opinion, and also you can get a low impact result if you're taking very thin slices instead of thick. One it'll give you a very soft dimensional look and if you skip more hair in between the highlights or less hair, it'll give you a different look there, but that is what slice highlights are: okay, now, let's go over. What a toner or gloss is toner and gloss are lifesavers. I mean they're pretty much the same thing they can be changed out whenever you want to, I think gloss, just sounds better toners kind of like old school, but what people don't understand, I don't think, is what really is a toner or gloss now, toner and gloss? Can be used for so many different purposes, so it's pretty hard to describe it all. So I'm gon na do my best, as you can see in the pictures here. This girl starts off as a kind of yellowish bronzy blonde and then, after she has more of a copper around highlight going on. So what they did to get to that end result is add, more copper tones with a toner and toner is a deposit only color. It is demi-permanent and the difference between permanent colors and demi-permanent colors. Is that there's no lifting that's going on to the hair? It is only depositing tone, so I can make the hair any kind of color you want with a toner now, typically, when you're highlighting toners are used most often to make the hair appear, more ash toned, get it more white, get it more vibrant, and so I Find that a lot of clients will freak out about their hair when they see a little bit of their hair rinsed out they'll, look in their phone camera and they'll, be like. Oh, my god like. Why is my hair so yellow? Why does it look like this? Why is this so bright at the root and you're like we haven't added the toner, yet the toner will literally completely change your look in a matter of 5-10 minutes. So do me a favor or do yourselves a favor and do not come and complain to us about your hair until it is all finished and we start blow drying it because a lot of the times the most magic happens right at that last 10. Minutes of your color session and the toner and the gloss can really change up the whole vibe of what we've been doing the entire day, so just chill until the toner is done, and then you can complain or be happy whatever. It happens, that or not. Oh now that brings me on to our next technique, which is a route smudge or a route shadow, as I like to call it they're, both interchangeable they're, both the same thing sort of I mean some people say that route smudges that go down farther on the Head and route shadows are just kind of other route, so I guess you could. Probably I don't know that just seems complicated to me. I like to just intermix them. People don't really know what you're talking about anyway. So you kind of just put that out there and say routes, mud and they're, like okay, but let's just say route shadow today gives you that sort of bohemian grow now lived in hair 5. That is quite current and is what most clients are looking for. Now. Nobody really wants that super bright, bright stripy highlight right at the top of their roots. What I have right now is a route smudge, so you know it's pretty light at the ends, but at the root it looks like it's kind of growing out of my scalp. That'S what's going on now and also hi new hair, how you doing? Oh, my god, a minute since I have not been platinum blonde. It'S been like four years or something like that. I don't know it's been a long time, but I'm actually living for this. Let me know what you guys think about it, but roots shadows are such an amazing lifesaver. You can really cover up any mistakes that you make with a root shadow. You can blur the lines between their natural hair, color and two highlights you just put in their hair, so you can do super chunky highlights to start, and then you can bring the highlight way back down to nearly their natural color, with a root smudge or with Shadow and it'll give a super nice chunky highlight at the bottom, with a grown out cool vibe at the top, and it's just an easy way to make the hair look more lived-in and more natural and not like you just stepped out of the salon. We could go into a lot more technical detail today, but not going to because I'll be here forever, explaining rude shadows and how I like to do them. Okay, next, let's go over the money piece or a face-framing highlight which ever one you want to call it money piece just sounds like more fun to me, but whatever you want to do so, we've gotten kind of crazy with money pieces. Lately, I'm not too much of a fan of the crazy bright money pieces in the front of the hair. I just think it looks kind of wacky and kind of like wow yeah. You definitely have some highlights going on there. It'S a lot a lot for me, but that's what your thing is and do it. This is what a money piece looks like it is that really bright highlight that goes like or like cool like all around the face. It'S used to really draw attention to the face and literally put a frame around it I think face forming highlights are great when they're done minimally. I just don't always love these super chunky front pieces, it's not my style and a lot of people love it and that's totally cool, but this space. For me, a highlight can be done with all the different styles. We just talked about say with oils. You can do it, you can do it with full saturation hair painting. You can do a partial saturation hair painting. You can then do a root shadow on it or a root smudge, and you can do all sorts of things with it. But that is what a money piece or a face storming highlight is and that's that one's easy whoo, those are all of the different kinds of highlights you can get now. I'M sure you can add a million different techniques onto that list. But those are the super basics and basically, all of the new highlight techniques are based off of those techniques. So if you know the basics go from there, I hope, after watching today's video, you can better communicate with your hairstylist. What kind of highlights you're looking to get from them because of the better you explained and what you're looking for the better? We can give you that end result. Now. I recommend always coming in to the salon with photos and try to explain and as much detail as possible what you're looking for that way. Both of us can be on the same exact track and we can get you that perfect. How come it, because what happens? Sometimes is when a hairstylist is not that experienced is they may not know how to have a proper consultation, and sometimes the consultation will end short, and sometimes these stylist will still be confused, but they won't tell you - and that is when you end up with something That you weren't looking for so making sure that you know what you're looking for and you describe it well, will always be a much more foolproof plan of action on how you can get that perfect desired result. So that's all from me on highlights today. I hope you guys learned a lot.

It is linked below and also an Instagram at next mondo hair, and that is all for today. Thank you. So much for watching, don't forget to live your Astro life. See you next time. I

Soda Pop: I was about 22 in the early 2000's and wanted "chunky" blond highlights in my dirty blond hair. The hairdresser suggested I get a light brown highlight in between... I don't know what she did wrong, but it was WHITE & BLACK!!!! I looked like Corella Deville, my sisters said it made me look 10 years OLdeR. And you know your sis is going to be brutally honest... It was NOT a look!!!
Kirsten Bakker: In order to avoid all this technical talk at the hair salon, I choose to ruin my own hair at home instead.
wicked ghoul: me: I'd like a balayage literally almost every hair stylist in my area: ........???? What's that?
CC TV: Frantically watching his videos at 2am so I can better explain to my hairdresser tomorrow what I want
Joelle M: Why is Brad reading my mind. Never dyed my hair and was thinking highlights might be a good start and then I see this video at the most perfect time.
Kaitygirlrocks: I watched this after getting highlights and I now understand why my hairdresser gave me something I didn't think I asked for... I wanted partial saturation balayage and for it to be cute and subtle natural tones (I literally showed her the exact photo Brad used for partial saturation on the left) but instead she gave me large sliced highlights up to my roots in a platinum ash tone. I left the salon in tears because the difference was a lot harsher than I wanted.
Rebecca Lauren: I wish I had seen this video before I went to the hairdressers! I asked for a subtle balayage on my naturally dark hair and came out the salon with big, brassy highlights and yellow-ish pieces all over THIS is why we go to box dyes...because at least it’s cheaper if we screw up
Noiz Kapow: A few years ago I decided I wanted blue hair and I bleached my hair myself. And I was like omg why is my hair yellow? But then I remembered color theory and dyed it dark purple and it turned into a pretty ashy blonde. I was so happy. xD Yay for toning.

I'm wayyyy old enough to know better, done it plenty of times long ago, but I'm going stir crazy being home and desperate (I actually have the box right in front of me). After seeing this I decided to wait, and go see my stylist when I can for hi-lights ("slices" to be precise, ha ha). And, since you asked, I love your hair with that color and cut! You wear it well! Please keep up the great, very informative, fun videos. ❤️

Sarah George: The only time I went to a salon to get my hair done I asked for balayage, and they gave me grey highlights, I looked like I was going grey, it was awful. I bleached the ends myself and faded it up and it was perfect. I have since done my own hair every time, blessing in disguise maybe

Jessica Iskey: Hello! This is a really informative video. I'm so glad I found you!!! I didn't know a thing about lowlights, root smudge, etc. I go to the salon and say 'I'd like highlights.' Now I know what to ask for. Thank you. ❤ One question: After I got highlights, my stylist washed my hair & put toner on. She spent about 10 minutes scrubbing the length of my hair. I don't understand why she was doing this & I didn't ask. Can you explain this to me? You didn't mention anything about scrubbing the hair with the toner on. Thanks so much! Stay safe & take care of yourself & your loved ones!!
Marcellina4: “Balayage”, French word, means “sweeping”
Fiona Duncan: I'm loving these videos as my fear of hair salons is real. I'd love a video where you explain what all the 30, 20 volume stuff is about. I'm clueless and love your explanations. Your hair colour skin tone video was great.
Bev Mitchell: I just found you a couple of days ago, lemme say! I've been binging your tuts I think you're great You are absolutely very informative, great teacher! And I've smiled with every single one, laughed with you a lot, and learned... Keep rockin these, new subscriber here
Olivia Vizza: My hair stylist combines a bunch of baby-lights, then sat.balayage, and then a shadow root. My natural hair color is a very dark cool brown, which I don’t love, but I go a long time between coloring my hair, so I like it to grow out looking as natural as possible (hence using a shadow). I end up with a lovely sandy beige “BRONDE”, so shimmery and lovely! (My profile photo is not a reference, that was a bright yellow blonde I had years ago).
Melina Theodoridou: Brad your hair looks AMAZING, personally i prefer this to the platinum blond look (which also looks really good on you)
Marta Cadena: I ONLY SAY THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SECTION OF BRAD GIVING ADVICE ON WHAT COLOUR SUITS THEIR SUBSCRIBERS AND WHY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Marissa Foster: Hey Brad, I really enjoy your videos. Could you do one on how to manage traction alopecia? I'm looking for quick, everyday, out of your face hairstyles and ways to help hair regrow. As funny as your videos are, I am especially loving these educational ones. I'm grossly incompetent at managing hair and have learned many of the things I do with it on a regular basis are probably making it look worse. Thanks for sharing and teaching in such an accessible format!
Sami Mudget: I LOVE when you do videos like this, they are my favoriiitttee. I mainly love your channel because of the time you spend sharing your knowledge about hair
Bree Radosevich: Getting my hair done in a week. So glad I watched this.
Aracelyse Felix: I’m trying to watch videos to try and convince my mom that highlights won’t damage my hair and I think this one might work thank you brad ✨
Legkun Polina: You couldn’t have done this before I ruined my hair like a week ago
HaFannyHa: Thank you for a really informative video! I go to a stylist who is not only a genius with the scissors, but a colour expert. As I have short hair, she uses baby-lights, two-tones, and gives me a flattering auburn blend. As I'm in my mid-fifties, she makes me look at least a decade younger, it is such a flattering style! I love Balayage and baby-lights - much more flattering than a block colour.

earthwerm: I love Brad. I'm a recovering opiate addict and had started cosmetology school (got my certificate but still have about 300 out of 1500 hours left to completely finish my license) like 4.5 years ago. I kept starting and dropping out, I've had 300 hours left for like 3 years now. And every time I start I just can't sit through class for that long or I feel awkward coming back. Now it's been so long and it's the last semester I can finish, it feels like my only chance to do something with my life because I have no other way to support myself. But watching Brad's videos has made me start to gain a lot of confidence back and realize why I loved doing hair. I'm still really behind my class and still am skeptical that I will be able to finish and sit through 300 hours, but I have a little more hope now. Especially with Brad to guide me. Thank you, ily. <3
Nadine Chamas: I want face framing highlights and partial balayage! Finally I can ask for this at my salon
kristina isaksen: I love your channel, you are so informative! I have a question about toning, does it disappear? I went to my hairdresser with blonde hair and I wanted to bleach my roots, but then I had the toner in my hair too long and my hair turned light brown with grey highlights :O
