FTR - I'm also just a girl standing in front of a mirror, asking it to lighten my roots.
I've pinned this before but here it is again! I leave this stuff for about 15-20 minutes.
Thank you - that was my only question! Your'e so cute, love your sense of humor... reminds me of me.... (just complimented myself, did you get that?). :D
Can you write the name of the product you used? I am deaf.
ligia sarmiento jolen creme bleach
u give me courage to try new things...i am psyched
I love ur jolen video. Thx so much for sharing
Who’s here because salons are closed right now? #covid19 Thanks for the tips!
L. R. Now where to find the bleach..
#COVID19 has me here!! Ffs 🤣
Me too😊Wow that looked so professional👍
Me!
Yes me too 😂Still a bit scared to do my own though😬
OMG thanks for posting this video tip. I did my hair this morning with my regular Garnier Nutrisse Multi-Lights Highlighting Kit because it's very thick no cap needed, and it worked great!!!!! It took me a couple tries to figure out how to get the knife blade coated correctly. After that it was a breeze. And my hair came out looking great. NO MORE chunky streaks. This knife trick IS the bomb!!
I do my own hair and thought this method is so clever. I tried it on myself. I used 20 developer and blue powder. It worked better than any other way! Omg. So easy so little product needed. I’m gonna do it again in a few months.
so, so nice of you cant wait to try. i like the whole take of throwing everything behind you. very cute . made watching worth while with your personality and all. thank you for sharing with us all.
"Look out for that! It's glass!" 😂😂💀 Love it!
so the bowl, brush and developer you threw over your shoulder is the EXACT SAME THING THAT CAME IN YOUR DOLLAR STORE BLEACH KIT, ONLY SMALLER.what a dope.you don't have to apply with a brush, its there for mixing. you can apply with your freakin finger if you want. EXCELLENT tutorial for those who want the orange stripes in your hair like this guru has. good luck !
So true same
Gonna do it with haircolor.. steel gray on my gray almost white hair.. been dreading using a cap.. if its to runny i might thicken it with cornstarch... thank you
Great idea. I prefer to use an icing spatula though.
i've been bleaching my hair for, mmmm, 50 yrs. DEAR LORD!!!! lol. anyhow. i've always been told not to use metal with bleach
Exactly. I cringed when I saw this
Aluminum is a metal
My thoughts exactly
Use a plastic knife
You can use the pointy end you part hair with of the hair coloring brush, or a toothbrush with bristles cut out to match desired widths.
Thanks. I may give this a try, as I'm not getting the results that I want,(I don't like foil root gap either), at salons & now my hair has grown out, during the lockdown, I may go back to doing it myself....I have the John Frieda, Blonding spray, but I'm not sure how to do that to separate strands & for it not to spray over onto other strands.....
Love it! My sis used to bleach her eyebrows to match her hair with Jolene! 😂
What a genius idea I love that Lou I’m going to get Jolen tomorrow and give it a try xx
Very good ideas. I like it. Fast and easy and more chippers than Salons. How but the hair colors. If you make a another videos to show all these that will be nice to learn from you. By the way This KNIFE it’s called Butter Knifes. 🥰🤗👌🏼😄Merci 👌🏼💞💜💝
I found this not even looking for hair stuff lol and Im so glad I did because you made me laugh ✌🤣 "Hi" killed me twice 🤣🙌
Fun hair trick!
Omg, that is brilliant with the butter knife!! Thank you. Would I do the same thing if I wanted to do caramel highlights? I'm lt blonde. Should I do it more throughout the hair, or just the top? Help! Lol
That's a pretty damn good idea lady! Less harsh yet does the trick... I just wonder what colour it would turn into on my previous red hair I dyed and removed it with colour oops (so pretty much on my copper hair) o.. 0
Regardless...Great video and you're funny. So subbed!
I do this with some blue bleach and make the paste very thick. It works just as good and the hair looks toned when you finish! I would love to see a video of you doing it this way and maybe covering other areas as well ;-)
What is blue bleach? I want some
Absolutely love the idea! How do you get all over highlights? Same method? I’ve used cream skin bleach and that stuff lasts forever!
Smart procedure but my hair is very thick can I use the regular bleach using the knife?
How long did you leave it on is the big question...this is really quite brilliant! I love's be a good McGiever woman. Isn't it amazing what we can come up with when we get desperate! Love it, so fun, and so are you✨
kerikins Thank you! I leave mine on for about 15-20 minutes. It's hard to over-process this stuff especially when you can literally see your hair getting lighter while it's on there. : )
I don't know why, but I enjoyed this video so much ! Great tips & funny too!!😂
I Love your personality.
Very smart & u did a fantastic job.
Her sense of humor is so damn funny . You're gorgeous .
Lol love yr videos! You have great eyes, very expressive. You remind me of Donna from SUITS, but you sound EXACTLY like Monica Potter!!!!!!! 👸
I had strawberry blond all over color about 2 mos ago and I am going to do this with a plastic knife and regular blonde box color. There's no way I'm using face bleach on my hair. I'm glad it turned out for other people, but I am not taking that risk. This is a great idea though, the plastic knife for streaks. It's absolutely ridiculous, $70 or more for a few foils in a salon if your hair isn't damaged or in a high-risk condition.
Awesome !! Would any facial-hair bleach product work?? Also, how do you keep up with the ash tone? I think bleaching usully make the hair looks brassy. Yours seem like a perfect cold color!
+ellika Yes, any face bleach product works!
Loved your video! Thanks for taking the time to post it....Im off to make my hair gorgeous☺
Awesome idea! Definitely trying it! Thank you!👍🏼😍
Looking forward to trying this! Thank you for the great idea!
This is a great tip! Thank you for sharing it!
So if my hair is brown on my roots will this work? And do you just wash it out and shampoo and conditioner after?
Going to try! Thanks
I'm going to try this with rusty roots.
Omg u r super cute funny & BRILLIANT! i am trying this tomorrow morning
So easy and inexpensive, yet it looks very natural!! You're the best, Lou 💗🎊🎉🍾
Will this wok for darker brunette?
lmao I LOVE how ya just TOSS things behind ya so me!!!
How often do I need to do touch ups with Jolie?
you have such pretty hair omg
GLAM!!
Would you use a model with dark hair and use Jolen to add highlights like you did on your hair?
A normal human/youtuber looks exactly like this. Nothing fake nothing stupid.
Ever use a fork to do the same, just quicker?
I will try the fork
I was just about to say this!
Your hair looks great. I like to know if hair has been closed medium brown, Can liter brown color highlight be done on top of the brown color hair and or a soft highter liter shade brown be used after medium brown color hair been done? I color my hair because early gray in usual areas. Now thought after dying hair ain't do about everyv6 weeks. And this time thought mite be nice look with some type soft highter a guess a several shade liter then my eye color med brown and use a like 1st shade of Blonde color would Glen in as a like ever soft brown highlite. I am thinking will hear back not good try add highlite to hair that has been already colored. But don't lot women get both color and highter in as well. I am think if can be done may need to go to Hair salon to get done right . And find out for further coloring if both are done same time when do at home. I like your video in general your a natural funny person. And you have good techniques you know what you doing.. I think you could do any type of video about anything and with your humerus funny input no matter what the product is you're planning a how to do. With your personality I find it entertaining and informative.
Lol you're hella funny 🤣 I love it.
Your awesome and funny 😬👍
aalcaraz56 Thank you! :)
Here from your recent highlight vid yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Nice idea 💡
Finally, a beauty blogger who isn't nauseating and precious! Love your video!
Hope you meant precocious
Can i just PLEASE say I absolutely adore you, I was having a crappy day and my hair just made me hate the world more - i watched your video twice just for the comic relief and again for the actual hair bit 🤣 you are a legend
Thank you! She cracks me up and she is so beautiful!
I saw this video about 2 years ago and right away bought Jolen, but I didn’t use it until yesterday. The Jolen product had an expiration date of 2021, so it has been 2 years expired and I still went ahead and used it. Instead of using a butter knife, I used a watercolor brush… the skinniest one, just like the watercolor brush that came with that coloring set that we used during our elementary education. Anyway, I cut the bristles of the brush in half to make it more manageable… and it was much easier to handle. And the result was better than the boxed set. FYI, I have black brown hair and the highlights were honey in color… light but soft. I am so pleased. Thank you so much for your video. Oh, I waited for an hour before I rinsed my hair because my hair is coarse and thick 😊
I used a 3 year expired Jolen. Still worked out great!
I am a master colorist and I thought I should leave a quick Warning: This is Not something that will work on just any shade of hair. This would only lift one-two shades at best and a natural blonde color, if your lucky maybe some with darker blonde. Still, the color would lean to a more gold or brassy tone. Definitely not what you want to use when trying to achieve more of a bright platinum or creamy beige tone. Anyone with med- darker hair would definitely find themselves with more a red, orange, yellow/gold or brassy tone.
😂
Can you do this for lowlights?
Oh pleeeeze let it be.. many of us appreciate the DIYs so buzz off..b'bye
@@suzieparis6821Exactly 😂😂 my sister is a master stylist as well. She owns her own salon in Manhattan NY. She herself is shocked at how well some people do their own hair at home with these simple tips that actually work. She says there’s always going to be someone that has something negative to say about anything and everything.
@@suzieparis6821, charming ! 😝
This is crazy. It's cheap, takes only 20 min & looks better than the expensive, time-consuming foil highlights my hairdresser does. My hair is brownish so it looks diff. on me, but it's gorgeous, not brassy at all. It costs around $8 on Amazon. The only thing I changed was using a plastic knife :)) Thank you for posting. Who would have guessed this actually works?
Do you have a picture
Post a pic!
@@lauramaresh5229 Can you even posts pics on youtube? lol
I remember doing this many many years ago. So glad to see you putting it out there for everyone else to see. I loved the way it worked. Looks great!
Literally I'm a hairdresser and you have made me want to try this.
Same
I’m a hairdresser too! I just love watching hair tutorials. She’s cute, has a great personality and is honest! I love it :)
Did any of you try it? Did it work just like balayage with a knife?
Please please help...I really need to know how I should dye my roots which are 2/3rds grey , and get the same color as my 1/3rd brown hair..obviously it comes 2 colors,lighter where there is the grey,and darker where there is the brown..which I then need to match with my copper dyed hair..I can never match them even when using the same dye color.Can you help me out? I can't afford going to the hairdressers every 3/4 weeks

10 seconds into the vid and i already subscribed lol you're so cool
I love that you tell people to do this on dirty hair. My mother (not a hairdresser) taught me that, too.
I'm so going to do this! I'm so tired of spending a ton of money at the salon I go to, and all she is doing is burning my hair off. This seems safer than all over.
This is an amazing trick! I have dark blonde base and have not been to my stylist due to covid. The outcome was absolutely beautiful. Very subtle not too much but took the harsh line of my roots away. I am so happy with the results and will be doing this on all my roots!
Good video ! Great place to start for those who wanna give it a go at home (and fall in love with having some control over thier hair and wallet)
I always lift/color my hair at home - although I grew up in a salon and then worked in one as a young adult I have had plenty trial and error. I am sure that you're not a fool and you know your hair.
However, to my knowledge you should never use anything metal while bleaching/coloring your hair. It can have a bad reaction- and, well - that's no fun.
PSA
Experiment with paint brushes, small sponge brushes or fun shaped and angled salon style color brushes. Depending on the amount of time I have, supplies, patience, regrowth, and desired result I freehand/balyage or cap highlight or put in a few foils in the face framing and crown area. You can freehand paint bleach but consider the following things below :
Bleach expands (think foamy) overtime after you mix it. Watch out for any bleeding or transfer of the bleach onto unwanted areas. Otherwise you could end up looking like a spotted leopard and not a cute one either. Wella has a great clay consistency balyage bleach - but I do not recommend it if you need more than 4 levels of lift. There are a few bleach tubs/packs by l'oreal that lift well and two by Ion, all at Sally's. .
FYI.
If your bleach dries out - it stops lifting. So depending upon your bleach brand, use 2 units of developer to 1 unit of bleach. You could go a bit over 2.
Lift a bit more than you think you need, without surpassing the time recommended by the manufacturer. You can always tone it later. But, keep it as far away as possible from your scalp since your scalp gives off heat and this is what helps cause "hot roots" or abnormal lighter color spot just at the root area closest to the scalp.
If this happens, tap your root area with a color a shade lighter or same as your natural or background color. Then tone. Do not do it opposite as you run the list of lifting your hot roots even further.
If you are toning, obviously use the opposite color base to counteract orange/yellow. If you want your hair and highlights a bit brighter go with a 10-20 volume developer (but beware on your darker hair as it will lighten it a bit and it can bring out a bit of brass in darker shades since blonde toners (ex. Wella T18) actually do not have the right amount of violet or blue or green tones for darker hair that has pulled Brass. You will then be stuck with super ashy light highlights and brassy base undertones.
If you want to try and avoid that situation and are okay with simply zapping the Brass in your highlights use a deposit only developer (wella also makes one, used for semi permanent color charm line) but keep an eye on it depending on the toner. I prefer to tone my root area with a semi permanent level 7-8 with ash or cool undertones then apply a T18 wella blonde toner or a semi permanent 10-11 with ash/cool tones.
Hope this ridiculously long comment helps someone !
This is the easiest way so far
“Not bad for an at home job”
Lady, I’ve paid for highlights that haven’t come out as good as this lol it’s way better than “not bad”, trust me.
Agreed! My sis in law paid £60 last summer and still had half inch roots! (She's a bit timid so me an another sis had to drag her back to complain) ok, fair do- the salon fixed it for free, but hell! This aint bad at all!!!
I know, right??
I tried this stuff, works well, but instead of just making lines with a little applicator. I glob it across the roots and combed it through. Worked great.
you sound exactly like the girl in pretty women!
+Anna Lager I've heard that before!
Well she truly does and that lady's name would be Julia Roberts :-)
Haaaaaaa, yes, she DOES!!!
You mean Julia Roberts? lol
She does
I've officially done this SEVERAL TIMES NOW!! and it's the quickest easiest most accurate way yet so far🥰🥰🤩🤩😍😍
Yay!
I will say I'll typically do a Lil more but carefully of course and I've used diff products and it works with all of them so far😁 I'll leave the box dyes for longer than the good stuff😉
Necessity is the mother of invention! Glad you had the balls to try it out! I love the way you described everything!
Absolutely the best video I've ever watched on TH-cam! It was sincerely a pleasure to learn from you.
+Venus1ntx Thank you!
thanks again
Love this, and you're so much fun to watch!☺
Will it turn hair red? Messed up my roots(gray) with an 8N root touch-up by Revlon and now the tops too dark. I look like Dog the Bounty Hunter. Can I use this on top of that?
This fine. Great didn't it we learn something new everyday and I are retired cosmetologist people you know your hair is not hard to do I think girls are just spoil too and they want to be pampered in I guess that's okay if that's what you want but I could spend my money out of the things like a new outfit and you purse a new pair of shoes rubbing spending all that money at the salon when I can do it myself and do it better and you probably could too but you just don't have enough confidence you never do it one time you won't go back and guess what if you mess up its hair it will grow back it is not the end of the world that's how we live and learn doing hair is so simple but if you working in the public doing hair that's a different store because you have to know all this skin and scalp diseases you have to know the whole anatomy of the body do you think that it does not apply and cosmetology well yes it does you're not a dermatologist but you have to deal with a lot of skin disorders and scalp disorders true
Tried this with a highlighting kit, just used a plastic knife instead. And it looks amazing! So much easier than a toothbrush which I used to use. thanks for posting!!
Kirsten Faurot Yes, I don’t think your suppose to use metal because a chemical reaction can occur. It worked for her though🤩👍🏻
@@christienelson1437 tin foils have metal in them
@@joycejnn The dye you use has to be safe with metal or oxidation occurs. Look it up they discourage using metal bowl to mix your hair dye in or metal combs.
@@christienelson1437 but tinfoil that they use in highlights has metal in it
@@joycejnn But aluminum has a different chemical makeup so I think it's okay. Or maybe not and that's why the foils are not coated with color on them?
I tried this last night with a regular old highlighting kit that comes with a cap. Parted my hair and even did the sides around my face. Used a mirror to do the back. The knife works better than a toothbrush, fork, the brushes that come with the kits, etc. It came out gorgeous. I look like a sun goddess.(okay, an ugly sun goddess) Brilliant idea! Best I've ever seen!
Yay! Good job!
No love..a Goddess ..women are warriors ,we have to be ..don't put yourself down ✊
@@sophiew1967 ❤️❤️❤️❤️True!!
Loved the video, I would've never thought to use that stuff and finished result looked great! You're very easy to watch , your funny personality comes through and the music was better than that usual crap people put on their tutorials! I'm a new subscriber
Thank you!
Lol😂😂😂 jolen jolen ..please don't take my man...
Omg your videos are unbelievable!
I’m stuck inside due to the 🦠 and hair looks hellish...
I wanna cheer myself up by having a full pamper day in my bathroom...
So have subbed! Sorry London was gloomy when you came it’s beautiful here today....😂
Hope you’re well n stay safe.....Thanks with love! 🙏🏼💕
I love this video. You have a very pleasant energy. It suits mine.
I like my mother, but I wish you were my neighbor.
- And I appreciate great DIYs, and I find this one very helpful.
Third time touching up my highlights with your method! Fabulous 🤩 thank you soooo much!!!
Great idea wow ha ha £6.00 with a knife 👍🇬🇧. But Sadly only for light hair , my hair is shade 7 and Jolen facial hair bleach hack , will go too orange on my medium brown hair . But it’s a fab idea for your hair colour . 💋
I did a patch test and loved the result so I did my ash blonde roots...but just the top hair...not underneath. Trying to get out of the all-over bleaching jobs at the salon...tired of them. Just wanted to soften my top roots so they don’t look so stark. This stuff works fabulously. Who knew! I absolutely love the result! No orange whatsoever! Just a lovely golden blonde color...very natural looking. Only needed to leave it on for 10 minutes! I’m done with expensive and inconvenient salon appointments for good!!!! Done with walking around with long stark roots in between salon sessions too. Wow! THANK YOU so much Skip2mylou! You’re the best to share this wonderful solution, with us ladies. ♥️
You’re funny as hell! Great tip! Work smarter not harder👍 God I’d love to see a woman President someday👏👍
I am a retired a cosmetologist and makeup artist and this is just blowing me away well guess what I'm going to try it and if it doesn't work and don't take nothing to straighten it out because I know what I'm doing but this may be something people really might oughta really look into and save a lot of money but I would use Wella products are a Armstrong I would not use drugstore products that that is Justin me L'Oreal has some pretty good stuff but yeah Beauty Supply House cuz I still even though I'm retired I still get all my products and navy my shampoos conditioners everything because I use it with my kids and my grandchildren I've got 13 great-grandkids yeah and I buy the shampoo by the gallon and the conditioner sit pays off it really does you get so you can quite a bit for you bang at Sally's
Hi there! I watched your video a couple of times. Bought the Jolen, used the knife method & I didn't leave it on long enough. But 5 days later, I went at it again & WOW! I look fantastic! It was exactly what I was looking for. So glad I saw you. Thanks for your advice! :) Easy, mess free & I can always put the top part of my hair up & do the underneath another day. ;)
Hi, with hairdressers closed with covid 19, I'm definitely going to try this. Tks for sharing.
Joan McKee me too... had to cancel my hair appt last week. 😢
Same!!
I just tried it today, because I had to cancel my appointment that was scheduled yesterday. It worked pretty well for a touch up! Next time I might leave it in for a few more minutes (I had it in for about 10 minutes (because I was a little nervous) after I was done with the last touch up, but would do 15 next time). It definitely worked well around my face on the little baby hairs:).
@@jennyluna632 Hi, how coarse is your hair and what colour you use usually? I am asking because that timing m ight be suitable for mid-coarse hair and/or dark blond or light brown hair (same as my hair).
Hi huny,
How do you do crown and sides of face above ears please?
If anyone reading this knows, please let me know? 💕
did some one show you this ? because it's genius
Wonder if this method would work doing dark lowlights on grey hair?
Great idea!! Thank you ❤️ I always hated how they would NEVER get the lightener right up next to the root. I don’t know why but this looks so much better
You are hilarious. I'm so uptight about trying something new on my hair....make up can be removed, hair is with you a lot longer! Anyway, found you via Google question about highlights and I'm so glad. You're a breath of fresh air on TH-cam. Please do more! - Edit: this was supposed to go with your 'highlights from the beginning' vid.
I use this stuff too, works great for adding subtle yet beautiful blonde highlights!
I've watched your videos, they're so good. You are really creative 👌 I have a question though. Does this bleach cause graying of hair or any kind of damage if done once a month?
I love (non-traditional) practical brilliance borne of common sense.
You are SoFLY 💁🏽
wow, I love this quote ... I would add extraordinary observation power and common sense ... in other words, paying attention to what you are doing!
I love queens lifting other queens up❤❤👏
I remember this from years ago... Do you still do it this way? I still do my own hair I'm cheap... 😂
You’re not cheap you’re smart!
With balayage or ombre highlights at outrageous prices, I don’t think your cheap, you just don’t fall for capitalism.😂
Wait - how did u wash it out w/o scrunching the hair together and having bleach rinse through the rest of the hair? Thanks and terrific job!
Social distancing is preventing highlights from my hairdresser. Grew up blonde so always highlighting to look blonde. But now it is brown so have brown roots, always go 7 weeks to hairdresser to get blonde highlights. Can't go now. Should I try this Jolen with brown hair--leave it on LONG since my hair is naturally brown?? Don't want orange!!! Usually takes over half hour to come up when my gal does it. Scared but desperate to be blonde again. I have 2 inch outgrowth. Suggestions??? Thanks anybody??
You can try a test strand first to see what color comes up with this method. Leaving it in longer won't make it blonder, it runs its process and then stops anyway. You may want to check out this video th-cam.com/video/0nEjM9b46lI/w-d-xo.html and instead of going all the way down, only paint the dark roots. Good luck! You can do it!!
I’ve just subscribed, love the result! Wow! Thanks so much for making this so easy! 🙌 Going to try this, as I just don’t seem to always get the result from hairdressers, it can be “hit & miss” at times! Occasionally, I’m just looking for “feature foils”, in the places I’d like them…which they won’t do, as they’ll only do half or full head foils & I’m not always requiring that. Love the way you applied across your hair, I’ll try that approach too! 💗
Great video! I hate when ppl go on and on. You got right to the point! I think my hair is about the same natural color, I think. I'm a medium ash brown. I hope that I can find that jolen name brand. I'll let you know. Thanks for the great video.
I found it in couple places!
+Christy Bernard Great!
WHERE DID YOU FIND IT ?
+Fernando Ramos Kmart
It's usually bought as a mustache bleach.
I think I've found my spiritual meme, and to think it's on yoytube!. U remind me so much of me and how I interact with the world. Nice to meet u!
I knew there had to be an easier way to do highlights. I was going to try something similar but the knife idea is great. Thank you for sharing. The videos was well made too. This was very helpful.
I'm totally trying this! Last time my mom pulled hair through a cap and I could have cried it hurt so bad lol. I kept thinking beauty is pain.
How old are you? Do you get Botox? What’s your youthful secret?
Omg going to get this, just what i need, i also hate that they never get close enough in the parting highlight. Thank you Thank you Thank you 😘👏💇♂️🧖♀️❤
Love your videos and I subscribed! I'm a long time at home highlight girl, but looking for new techniques. I will be referring to these vids tomorrow! 👍
