I'm also a hairdresser ladies after u apply the bleach fold it up over the dry bleached hair then fold it up again this way the foil closes the already bleached hair protecting it ❤lovely job u did though
Your hair ( and you) looks so gorgeous, I wasn't sure about doing it myself but definately am now, i hateeee going to the hairdressers so if I can pull this off it will be life changing :') THANK YOU Xxx
This is absolutely fantastic!! I wish you could see what I looked like doing my highlights in the back... big mistake.. even with thirty mirrors, just yeah, I wish I'd watched this video back then, but I've now saved this to my DIY list, for the next time I need to touch up, because, although you mentioned how hard it is, even just to fold the up the foils, I was like "girl, you read my mind." I'm not licensed, but my sister is, and has been doing my hair for years, wanted to teach myself how to do it alone, and I'm so glad I've gone on this DIY journey.. Learning something new, and not having to dependent all the time on someone to help, it's a great feeling.. I love how you think your video is long... I recorded myself doing the "just" the top section, not the sides, just top, and my video is 2 hr and 45 min LOL..
Girl I’m a stylist in the US and lemme tell you.. the struggle was real. I was so lucky to have a friend/client who worked at a local beauty supply… but even now, stock is so low still ! Totally appreciate this process being such a pain in the ass and ya don’t quite realize til ur in way too deep 😂
I just did my hair, and I got to the same point!! And said the hell with the foils and just started painting on my sections. The foils is what makes it so hard to do on self!! Whewww
That's how I am doing my high lights right now, my 16-year-old girl helped me and a little but it takes too long now I have to finish alone thanks for your video it cheered me up again 😃😁
@@leahrodriquez1349 I’m just guessing here… haha.. from what I could tell, I would guess a very light brown or a dirty blonde, but that level will always look darker when it’s at the root, especially with blonde highlights 👱🏽♀️ 😍
Just did this process today .. whew my arms are burning !! Lol a little goes a long way thow .. great video the struggle is real esp the 2 back foils ..
You folded the previous beached hair on top of the freshly bleached area. A fold should have been made on the previously bleached hair and the another separate fold from there up to the newly bleached hair.
great video and beautiful result, thank you! (btw, I'm not a professional, but have been doing this on myself for some time - not easy and time-consuming, I agree)
Question : I used to be blonde, 6 months ago I asked my hairdresser for my "natural brunette" color. She didn't dye my hair too dark so I could still deside afterwards (go darker or not). Now my hair is graduate washing out and my mid section and ends are golden, like a ombre. I really need to color soon to refresh. I have decided to go back to blonde and going to attempt highlight myself, since I'm on a budget😅. Can I bleach the midsection again to lift evenly? Or only my outgrowth? Appreciate any tips❤
18:10 I am like how the heck can she see that piece? Im going to have to setup all my mirrors and put in contacts for this affair haha thank you for the video.
Wow your hair looks so beautiful! I'm going to try this at home. I only need to do a few scattered foils around the front hairline and top area to fill the patches left behind by the hairdresser who didn't do a very good job on my full head of foils at all. Could I just apply the bleach solution randomly onto some strands of hair or would it be best to still do foils regardless of how few I need?
So using redken/wella liquid toners with a developing solution of that strength, doesn’t make where your natural hair colour meets the bleached areas a little orangey/brassy? Always worried it would have a little bit of lift !
Redken Shades EQ Solution doesn’t lift. It contains only 2% hydrogen peroxide (7 volume), typically used for glazes and toners = ‘deposit only’ results. Wella T18 is a different thing, because it comes with a stronger developer. It can make pale yellow hair a brighter, ash blonde colour but I wouldn’t use it on bayalage/highlights because 20 volume can make your natural hair orangey/patchy.
@@lillacsizmadia2531 I know this is a couple of years late but Wella do a range of toners other than T18. T18 is something else. Wella toners are usually in their Colour Touch range and are used with 1.9%, 3% or 4%. And just like all toners they only deposit colour, they dont lift. A good example is Colour Touch 10/81 and 1.9%. X
It isn’t a developer necessarily, the redken shades EQ needs to be used with the redken processing solution. I believe it’s realistically about a 7vol developer equivalent but it’s super not recommended to use anything other than the officials processing solution.
Hello Steph! Thank you for this video! Can I just ask, is this your natural hair? Or do you color the base? My problem with doing highlights on my colored hair is that every time I wash it off in sections, bleach touches my colored locks and makes a total mess out of my base color making it orange😩
Hey Alla, yes this is my natural hair, I do not colour my base I am a natural brown base shade 6. You need to be careful when you apply bleach to the foils so it doesn’t leak out on to the base (slightly thicker consistency of bleach is better for preventing this) Also remove foils quickly and carefully making sure none of the bleach touches your other hair. Your bleached hair must be touching you other hair which you will need to prevent to stop it transferring. I hope this help x
@Steph Barron . LADYLUX Oh you are so great!! Thank you for the answer, Steph❤️ I am watching all your videos and already learned a lot of great tips🤗💗
creasing the bottom of the foil makes uneven banding in lightener-- it's a bad habit. to do your own hair you can use short papers with no need to bend or fold just be sure they are the exact length and simply stack them. You use more and your hair has no bands.
Your hair is beautiful ☺️ by the way... when you fold the section up on itself the blonde ends are being bleached too as they are touching the top section 😬😬 I have a home highlighting video including back of my own head. I’m not a professional. Check it out xx
@@sherrydufrenne3832 I actually just bought this portable mirror called the self cut system and it’s brilliant I can see every angle if my head now to do my own hair! It’s basically just three mirrors that flip out and you hang on the back of your door. Idk how I did my own hair before this!! I was able to foil the entire back of my head in like wayyy under half the time it normally takes
@@sherrydufrenne3832 look it up here on TH-cam and if you don’t have it where you are there are some videos on how to make it yourself for like 15$ or something crazy. I paid 70$ for mine and then realized there are coupon codes I could’ve used to get 10% off 😖
It's painful to see that foil folded all the way up😢, lots of overlapping, the bleached ends should be protected by folding the foil one time over them and then all the way up😊
That’s not realistic when working on your own head… and she left the prev blonde hair untouched and hanging out of each foil…. She repeated it several times
I Personally don’t think so, the balayage colouring technique is used on every section and then the hair is placed in foils as it isn’t free hand bleach I’m using.
Girl, I lost my job last month:( So no more going to the salon to spend $200. Until I get cought up. I am naturally brown, I love my natural hair color, I would just go to the salon most of the time, just for a cut or a treatment from heat. I got board with the 🤎, so last year I decided to cut my hair to your length and get blonde, honey colored highlights...I bought a bleach already mixed together from a hair store in the US called Sally's. ION brand I believe in a 30 volume. I bought a comb, not like the black ones this one says you dip in your bleach color and just brush it down words at your part. After watching this video, I am so glad I didn't just go and do it. I haven't had much luck with foils but with the metal comb🤞, it works. Trying it this morning. It's almost 5am. Have to be at work by 8. I'm still worried about the front and the foils staying....oh goodness. Here we go.
This is NOT balayage, this is an allover highlight. It has been around for 40 years, this technique. Balayage is something totally different. You did a great job, however, and please, I am begging you, stop saying, “Hi guys”. It is a stupid youtuber thing. It makes ne turn off, but I knew you were a real hairdresser, so I pushed through. Just say hello, or something more professional.
I'm also a hairdresser ladies after u apply the bleach fold it up over the dry bleached hair then fold it up again this way the foil closes the already bleached hair protecting it ❤lovely job u did though
This is a great video, thank you for showing every step. If anybody doesn't want to see each step they can fast forward but anyone who needs it has it

I've been doing this for years even my hairdresser friends were impressed yes I'm a lifetime hairdresser buy still this isn't easy but you got this.
fabulous result!
Beautiful!!! Love it!
If you dont want to overlap, put the ends aside before folding. Youre smudging the bleach on the already bleached hair :)
Hello beautiful, from Philippines here, wish I could color my hair on my own too.. Love your hair color!
Hi
Loved your hair tutorial. Could you please guide me what bleach n developer you used? And in what ratio?
Thanks
Ugh I wish I had your natural base color!!! It's such a beautiful light brown!!!
She's dark blonde
What level is her hair?
@@leahrodriquez1349 maybe a 7? Light golden brown or dark blonde.
@@lilatolouian oh ok I thought it looked darker. Ty
@@leahrodriquez1349 I’m just guessing here… haha.. from what I could tell, I would guess a very light brown or a dirty blonde, but that level will always look darker when it’s at the root, especially with blonde highlights 👱🏽♀️ 😍

Thank you for your lovely comments x
Wow, good job! Your hair looks wonderful!
Just did this process today .. whew my arms are burning !! Lol a little goes a long way thow .. great video the struggle is real esp the 2 back foils ..
Excellent work it came out nice
I love 😍 it please make more at-home balayage and highlights
I am confused..when did you use the 7m on the root blend love the outcome
Wait.. you folded the foil in on itself with your ends still there, wouldn’t the ends be smushed into the bleach as well?
put vaseline on your ends
@@sonsofelshamy3987 Did not think of that! Good suggestion 💜
@@SickAndTired422 leave the ends out of the foil don’t put Vaseline?
Yes you are right...I'm a stylist...
Don't put vaseline on your hair, it does absolutely nothing😂😂😂
You folded the previous beached hair on top of the freshly bleached area. A fold should have been made on the previously bleached hair and the another separate fold from there up to the newly bleached hair.
great video and beautiful result, thank you! (btw, I'm not a professional, but have been doing this on myself for some time - not easy and time-consuming, I agree)
You are totally right, it was not easy! But I’m glad I did try it out xx
Wait so did you only use 010vg or did you also mix in the 07? Trying to tone my hair to get that color!!
Wow its amazing beautiful
I know the struggle!!!!! Except I have super short hair, I gave up foiling and now pull through the cap! 😂

What can I use instead of olaplex?
your amazing! thank you x

This looks SO good.
Good outcome
What do you mix with the toner & how much?
How long did you leave bleach?
Wow your hair looks so beautiful! I'm going to try this at home.

You can just freehand it, you'd just need to be careful of the strands you apply lightener to touching hair you don't want it to get on.
How long did you let your foiled hair develop?
Great job
You did an amazing job
Thank you 🤍
Incredible how you ca do this by yourself!! Cool
Thank you
Ficou lindo ❤
Looks beautiful, love your haircut , what kind is it? Also did you just use only the shades EQ 10vg?
I wonder too, because in the beginning she mentioned the 7N, did she do the root tap? No mention of that
So these are highlights then ? Not balayage ? What is the difference then ?
Wow, good job! Your hair looks wonderful! What toner did you use ? Love the result !!
10VG Shades EQ Redken

So beautiful 🌺
Wait, you didn’t go all the way down onto your previous blonde hair, but then you folded your hair right up touching your bleach.
You only used Redken 010vg Shades?
Where do you buy the 10vg Redken toner please?? do you have a link? thanks
Ebay.
What developer did you use - although I am from UK I live in USA so is 9% there equivalent to 20 or 40 here?
Equivalent to 30 vol
looks gorgeous on you. Any alternative if we cannot find 10VG ? It is unfortunately not possible to find in Germany :(
You could use 10vv and 10g separately with equal parts xx
Hello, they are great, can you tell me what colors you used?
It’s BLEACH!!!
How much of the redken do you put in the bowl, and is the developer 20%
It isn’t a developer necessarily, the redken shades EQ needs to be used with the redken processing solution. I believe it’s realistically about a 7vol developer equivalent but it’s super not recommended to use anything other than the officials processing solution.
❤
O processo ficou incompleto… não mostrou tudo o que fez!!!
Huh? Did you apply a toner to your roots in a darker shade? Or just the 10VG to roots AND ends after highlight foils? Sorry, bit confused now...❤
Yes root toner is 07M driftwood if you pause at 2:12
So skilled! Thank you!
How much EQ did u give?
👍
