    I barely leave comments - but when I tell you I just tried this and my hair looks A1 I MEAN IT! I’ve tried doing this with different tools but the knife works. I’m shaken to the core! THANK YOU!!! This is a miracle.
    I will say, I have light hair by nature so my hair takes to highlights perfectly and easily. I am just shocked.

    I have been highlighting my own hair for years with OTC highlighting kits. I have really short hair and still it takes a couple hours or more to use the kit per cap and recommendations. When I ran across this video, I thought there’s no way it could be that easy. AND YET!!! Here I am just with highlighted roots that look so much better than with the cap. They’re more subtle. More natural. And it was so stinking easy! I may be seven years late on this video but that’s ok because Now I’ve seen the Light!!! Thanks so much!!

    I’m a hairdresser and have worked in LA , Las Vegas and now Tampa Florida and I’ve seen a lot of different things, but you know what you gotta do what works for ya, just because we’re hairdressers doesn’t mean we’re perfect either, and every hairdresser before they did hair, used boxed color at least once in their life prior to being licensed , so even if or when I have a client that used it at home or did things at home if it didn’t turn out right I’d never criticize because I’ve been there when I was younger as well. We’re in the profession to help and make sure the client is happy and the hair is healthy and beautiful. Not to criticize.

    FYI, I’ve been doing my own highlights for decades... a box and a cap. I’ve had multiple hair dressers ask who did my highlights. When I tell them I did, they always make the super surprised face, and tell me what a good job I did. Yep... Saved thousands through the years.

    Love this inventive trick! I, too, have a trick born of necessity. While traveling, I ran into friends who invited me to an evening get together. I desperately needed a quick touch up, but didn't have all the tools available. Luckily, the duty free shops supply free brushes, for trying on makeup. I grabbed a few, along with box of prefab lightening mix. The wands worked really well for a quick, root touch up; allowing more precision as well as thorough saturation of entire hair strands. It worked so well I continued using the technique. Like you, this is not the only tool I use for highlighting/coloring. Today my roots are crying out for attention. And, since I never know when I might be on a trip with no duty free in sight, I'm going to give your idea a whirl!

    Nothing annoys me more than when stylists cop that superior attitude towards DIY hair applications and start judging when you're sitting in their chair. I've been getting highlights for years and although some stylists do a nice job, I've also ended up with a big mess that I hated from stylists who just aren't that talented or careful. Once you get the hang of applying your own highlights, it's not rocket science and if you're careful it takes a lot to mess it up. Lou has beautiful hair and this application is saving her hours in a salon as well as about $100 or more in cash. Nice job.... it's a quick, easy application plus the bleach you're using is probably much safer for your scalp!

    This product looks and works great on your hair. I have been debating doing highlights myself for months but haven’t had the nerve yet. Your knife technique looks like it gives you great control. I have very fine hair that’s darker than yours and I need almost full length highlights now so I will try your knife technique with a different bleach, doing a small strand test first. Thanks for giving me some courage and inspiration, and your videos are very entertaining as well!

    My personal not so favorite is ppl trying to use green, pink, or purple streaks in the hair. Ugh so hood. 0-o
    Now, I myself color my own hair......using Dollar Tree hair color. I know, shock. But it works for me.....I use the lightest blonde color they have and I occasionally will buy the dark brown and apply streaks in my hair, sometimes just do the underneath part and it gives a little dimension. If you take your time it'll look pretty good. Lou I love your method and will try it this spring! Do what works, and for me the cheaper stuff works just fine!! ;)

    * Lou, do you still use the Jolen, & if so do you still use exact same method here, and/or have any updates or add'l tips? I have your same dark blonde natural hair, though w/ natural strawberry blonde highlights- quite "multi-tonal" or so I've been told. Last time I tried to blend in some blonder highlights- using hand paint method & a regular box dye, I did end up w/splotchy orange blobs. It was horrid, & cost me $200@salon to fix.
    Colorist put in dark & light highlights of course to blend my mess, but now I have to either keep it up myself or attempt to dye my whole head back to as close to natural color as possible...which isn't, because it's so "multi-tonal". Besides, at 57yrs old, I do have some gray strands coming in so highlighting seems best solution to keep some blending going on.
    Sorry for the essay-length comment, hope it makes sense. I'm also not a salon gal, & the little bits I've done over the years have usually turned out lovely. *Meaning, I know the risks & don't care😁💓Thanks, in advance~ Sam

I do the box, pull through the cap and keep it on for 60 min. Turns out nicely but I'd love to have more control where the highlights land...like yours.

Of course, it was discontinued and now I pay a ridiculous amount to get a similar color from a salon.

    So what the difference between this and the bucket of power bleach and developer that you get at sallys I have dark brown black hair I'm doing research this looks way easier has anyone with dark hair tried this help

  • @lisamiddleton3475
    @lisamiddleton3475 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    The reason leaving it on longer didn’t do anything is because bleach runs it’s course and stops processing. Usually 20-25 min it’s done processing. So if your hair is very dark, and you’ve bleached your hair and it’s orange. It’s because your hair is too dark and has to be double processed. Super damaging. Hair had a spectrum of color it goes through when lightening. Bleach is so harsh and it’s does take a very skilled colorist to pull dark hair to a desirable shade of blonde. I would only try this if your hair is light enough you only need a few shades lighter. Otherwise you may end up very orange or brassy. If you have lighter hair, this is such a cool way of quickly getting your roots touched up. The other cool thing about bleach is it stays where it’s put. It doesn’t expand like hair color does.

      I worked at Sally Beauty and you wouldn't believe the amount of people, mainly women, who bleached their dark hair and it turned out orange and the had to bleach again. It's very very common.

I’ve been a hairdresser for 20yrs but unfortunately had to give up due to chronic pain. So you, my lovely Lou have helped me a great deal with ur fabulous idea of using a knife! I am stuck in the house with chronic pain anayway but now lockdown aswell. So I’m DEF going to use your brilliant idea of a knife to do my root touch up.Good on you Lou 4 helping others,I love to help others too.😀👍😘Just ignore all the ‘nasty pasties’....they’re just jealous they never thought of it!😂 Keep ‘being you’ & a huge heartfelt thanks for helping me when I’m stuck housebound & cant get to the salon. I’m soooo grateful! Luv & hugs Faye 😘👍😆Xxxxx

      Hi Faye.....I suffer chronic pain too, amongst many other things. Being in lockdown is just normal for me, as it probably is for you too. It's even more stressful though, with all the potential virus on things. It would be good to hear how your highlights went. Am thinking of doing this too. I used to highlight my hair for years, using a cap, but as my health continued to deteriorate, it just got harder and more painful, until I couldn't do it any more. I usually have a home hairdresser do highlights every 7 weeks or so, and so am now getting fed up with my roots dominating my head! Lol
      Keep safe

  • @74dmagnum
    @74dmagnum 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thank you for this! I used your blunt knife technique today and it worked out well. My hair is naturally darker than yours (dark brown, not black), so I was nervous to use Jolen. I bought Revlon Color Effects Frost and Glow in Honey. I skipped the cap it came with, and just worked the bleach/developer mixture from that box. I used your knife technique and even just my fingers on certain strands in the back. I saw Jessie James Decker use just her fingers and gloves in a separate video. The combo of your knife technique and her finger technique were just what I needed for a little pick-me-up to get me by until I can see my hairstylist after this coronavirus quarantine. Thanks, again. Your hair looks great!

    • @74dmagnum
      @74dmagnum 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Update: I highlighted my hair on Saturday for the first time at home with the Revlon Color Effects. I used the knife and gloved fingers technique (no cap or foils) and it worked pretty well. I noticed that I missed a few spots. So on Tuesday, I touched up those spots with Jolen. My hair is naturally dark brown. I left it on for 35 minutes. I have some nice, blonde streaks. I plan to use a Brite No Yellow Mask in a few days. Thanks for this. It is a nice way to brighten things up before I can get to a salon.

    You can also use a wide tooth comb and just make sure the teeth of the comb are coated with bleach mixture. Maybe not ideal but I can say personally that it works well.

  • @gravitytwo4088
    @gravitytwo4088 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Did this with a wide toothed comb 40 years ago on my medium blonde hair, just using a bottled color and squeezing out the color onto the comb intermittently with a bigger "squeeze" at the tip and less down the twines (so more of the color came off closure to the roots). This is better as it's more precise. Later when my hair got too dark to do it this way, I just took random pieces (and if I could see where I highlighted it before I'd try and grab that piece just as you do) and I'd use a brand new mascara wand and put on the color. You mentioned that you don't usually do other parts and fold over the hair cuz you don't want to mess it up, but I would just let the color get dried a bit and the put a piece of foil (no folding, etc.) and just lay it on top of the foil when I pulled it over. Once the color really gets more dry, it's can't transfer much.

    Lou, I just really want to tell you how much I love your videos and how much they have meant to me. I have suffered from debilitating depression for most of my adult life. These past 2 years I've done pretty well in the fight against my depression. I use to go to the gym 5 days a week to lift weights and I was taking very good care of myself. But on February 8th I turned 47. I have no idea why this set me back, but I have been truly suffering emotionally since. I can't work because it has me almost emotionally crippled.
    I discovered your videos and you have given me some much needed comic relief. I am in awe at not only your beauty on the outside, but also what a beautiful person you are on the inside. You make me and my husband laugh every day! Thank you! It especially touched my heart to hear that you suffer from depression yourself and that you had some sadness in your past. You know, I once heard that there is pain in laughter. That often the funniest people are the saddest. You obviously are not sad all of the time, but I do love that you are so honest and relatable. Thank you again. Your videos have brought some joy into my life.

    I love the technique! I have been coloring my own hair since I was about 15. I'm now 70! I have had several or at least a few unhappy salon coloring experiences and more than several unhappy haircuts from salons so I pretty much done my own hair for the last 20 years except twice and once was for my son's wedding which turned out nice- but expensive and that hair stylist was in Louisiana.. I'm in Colorado-but when I'm in the mood I enjoy cutting my own hair. I recently had a spot of scalp cancer and have been holding off doing my highlights until the skin healed. I'm not going to go all the way to my roots but I would still like some highlights. My hair grew out in a very dark brown and gray and light brown and maybe an ombre would work but I still want highlights at least in the front. Is that called the money part money look whatever I wanted to say that I love your sense of humor and I'm checking out all of your videos! So glad you don't pay attention to the trolls!
