- In this video I explain the clear difference in results with highlights, balayage, and the highlighting cap. We often thick of these things as colors but the reality is that these are application methods. Knowing the difference and what they can do for your hair is helpful in determining what you might want at your next salon appointment or when choosing your next hair color. I have also been getting so much questions on the highlighting cap so I though it was time to include it in a video. Hope this video was helpful. Thank you for watching.

Okay but can we talk about how perfect the color theme of this video is?
The background color, the color of your clothing, your hair color, your makeup-everything is just well coordinated and complimenting and it’s so exciting yet calming to watch. Love it!
I am a former hair stylist & I learned to ‘highlight’ in the early 80’s before foil was even an idea.
I only do my own hair now but I prefer the cap all day long.
Probably because it’s how I learned…foils get on my nerves.
Because I’m good at using the cap I can pull thick or thin pieces & can tell where I’m pulling from.
I also use the cap to add lowlights at times as well.
I also know which pieces not to overlap of the pulled out pieces…
I think it’s all in technique originally learned.
But I will say that the popularity of the grown out root is a game changer! I don’t have to do any of it as often with root smudges & taps.
Hi Silvia, I miss getting my hair done by you SO much. I didn't do anything to it during the pandemic and tried a few new places since then. Nothing compares to the beautiful, natural, buttery blonde you gave me. Wishing you all the best with the new chapter of your life!
Hi Silvia, by chance I stumbled upon your tutorials about 1-2.5 years ago and started educating myself on all the various techniques and coloring products you have been doing tutorials on. Especially as the pandemic started, I started watching through your old and weekly tutorials on color techniques. Redken shades EQ products are not easy to find here in Switzerland for personal use, but through your tutorials, I managed to find myself fantastic colors, learning how to do low lights and highlights via free hand techniques on my dark hair based on your information, I managed to find the right method and hair glosses without damaging my hair too much. It is the way, you describe and explain things step by step that I appreciate and find really interesting and I still love going to my hair colorist and we are always on the same page. Only looking at your videos made me appreciate the services your colleagues do even more as I now know myself how much effort and creativity lays behind all that work that is done within hours to make a client happy and sometimes it isn’t being appreciated enough, when coloring does not turn exactly as a client would wish for. Now I have a real understanding on why the same color turns out differently on each hair…So thank you for sharing your expertise and inspiring amateurs like myself out there to dare to try things in without that experiment turning into a catastrophe 🌹!
I love these teaching video's, they're so informative! I do want to add that the cap can be painful! I used to get this done (or do it myself) years ago and started just foiling because my hair is super thick and long-pulling that through hurts. Also, as you said, it ended up being a strange, too thin, and sparse lift.
I love your hair in this video! How can I achieve that look?
I love the cap and have used it for years
I was just watching your low light video this morning. I love watching your techniques. I want to try highlighting on my own hair once my current botched salon highlights grow out a bit. Thanks for the tips
Make a video on highlight cap on a client or doll from beginning to end and show us what you would do exactly. I love your videos! And I love how you did your hair.
I've totally been watching you for a couple years now, always awesome tips and advice! I love you back!!
Dear Silvia, you look stunning. The color of your hair just looks perfekt. I would have liked to hear if you did something after your last hair video. Your eplanation was also very helpful. More over I just love listening to your talking voice. Maybe you want to do reading e-books for kids.
PERFECTLY EXPLAINED! You are spot on & super helpful! Thank You for “You”. ❤️
Good explanation on the difference between highlights and balyage.
I think you just saved me from a cap disaster! Thank you!!
i have bad emotional scarring from the caps used on me back in the day lol i always came out like a striped tiger 🐅 lol 😂 i was so glad when other methods came about ! your hair looks fabulous!
Love your very clear explanations. Would ver much love to see you do a root smudge. Will be following. Thanks, Beverly
Thank you for all the info congratulations on baby !! 🎊
Love your channel!! My hairdresser watches your channel I told her to watch your channel!!🥰❤️
Your hair looks the best it's ever looked! very nice!
i love your hair color now! also i love a tan/taupe top dolman sleeve you have super cute
I absolutely love the color of your hair right now.
This video was super helpful!
Your hair is so gorgeous! I have had all methods of highlighting to my hair. I have had it pulled thru the cap, I had foiling done for many years. I tried the beautiful balayage once. For me, since I am not a hairdresser but have been around and worked in a salon for years. I have been doing my own for years now. It is mainly due to a lack of funds. I am afraid to try to foil or balayage. I pull my long hair through a cap. I would definitely like to get the courage and learn other methods.
Hello Elle. I have been watching your channel for a while now. I have decided to try Esalon based on your videos. Wish me luck! Looking forward to seeing if I can pull this off on my own!
This was VERY helpful. Thank you!!
Stunning and helpful message ❤️🤩
Such an excellent explanation. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting and good educational video. Thank you so much 😊
This video was super helpful! I kept asking for a balayage when I really wanted highlights that start further from the root. My stylist always uses foils anyway when I ask for balayage because it gives that lift I'm looking for and looks like the picture of what I want. She calls it foilyage.
I remember when my mom used a highlighting cap when I was little. She swore it looked like spaghetti had been dumped on her head and quickly went to the grocery store to get box color. If there was only TH-cam back then, she needed these videos. She goes to the salon now, but always went cheap on herself for us kids back then. Any tips on how women in their 60s with shoulder and shorter length hair can improve their color?
Thank you so much for this info! So helpful❣️ Stay well XOXO
I love you hair! I even love the little profile pic, more! It looks like what I just got done!!! ❤️
Great video! So I went in for the first time in ten years going brunette to golden blonde! I came in wanting to highlight my hair to golden blonde. She did not recommend this. She recommended balayage. I love it bc I love the dark left and I don’t look washed out! However I wanted originally to do highlights bc I was worried about how they retouch and overlap. I’m so scared now as I want to keep my hair long and healthy! I hope bayalage is the healthiest route, and she can just retouch roots!!! 😳
Your videos give me Kardashian confession vibes. You are glowingggg Silvia!!
That’s the look Adam was going for when building the new setup lol! Funny you should say that.
Oh my word! You look gorgeous!!!!!!!
Sylvia you’re glowing
Hi Silvia! Could you please tell what toner you've used on roots, mids and ends? Also: my roots start to get really golden (i'd say a level 9) whilst my mids and ends are very pale yellow (level 10). I would really like to tone them down to the color you have.
Hi Silvia, your hair is gorgeous 😻
Great explanation. Thanks
Hi , this video helped me alot
Hi. Would u plz let me know what color and tone u used here (this video) . ur hair looks amazing/
Hi Silvia I just found out your channel and I love it! I have a question for shadow root what color is the best? Two weeks ago I tried at home but the color i don’t know why it was a lil bit dark blonde orange and know I don’t know how to fix it, should I buy another color and fix my hair?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I would love to know how you get your hair done? Is it highlights? It looks beautiful!
Thanks so much for the cap chat 😘 I tried this 2 times but with long hair omg it was so painful. I managed to do some small diagonal baby lights after watching one of your vids with the box of ‘Bblonde’ in my cupboard. So helpful to understand the difference between box color and bleach/developer! Now I want to touch up with some brighter ones and may need a consult but live in the UK... congrats on the bump💓
I’m going to try & highlight my own hair with a cap & was looking at the b blonde box. Would u say it’s ok? 🤗
Love that lipstick color you are wearing. Can you please share the color? Thanks!
So helpful! 💕✨🥳
thanks gorgeous!
You look gorgeous!!!
This hair color suits u so much better
Could you please do a video on highlighting curly hair at home
I have been having my hair highlighted for years with a cap. The biggest benefit for my hair is that it's short and my hairdresser always cut my hair before highlighting, thus preventing those uneven streaks with longer hair. He also used Wella Blondor Multi color powder. It's easy on the hair and doesn't just give one single color of highlights.
Being as short as mine is, it also gets the cap very close to my head preventing those "leopard spots" and not pulling hair from somewhere else. I always have people ask me who did my hair and how they did it. They are surprised that it was done using a cap and pic because most didn't know that method was still being used.
For me it's a perfect fit, probably not as successful with longer hair I don't think.
Sadly my hairdresser and very good friend passed away suddenly in Nov. 2023 so I've not found anyone new one to do my hair. The few I've talked to won't use the cap nor the Blondor, because they haven't done the method or use that product, nor will they either. Sure hoping I find another good hairdresser soon!
Is there such a thing of wanting golden and cooler tones of blonde in your hair?
You should do some salon vlogs like real life day in life salon. That would be cool
Gosh i would give anything to have a hair dresser as good as you
I want your exact hair color so I’m a level 7 brown if that makes sense... and I have no dye no bleach virgin hair I got a bucket of bleach wella brand 30 volume and t 28 toner with 20 volume n I’m about to do this...I’m scared though cuz of a flat color
What is the colour u have used looks quite nice .
Love your lipstick color, can you share what it is….pretty please.
Where are all your shakets from? Love them! Thanks for explaining the difference, I always just say I don't want stripey hair but this helps a lot! ❤️💖
hey can we talk. I'm thinking of doing a DIY highlights or balyage but I heard in the video when you said that if you want it lighter balyage is not the way to go. pls help. I was thinking of buying the wella charm color bleach with a developer of 40 to do this. Is this good?
What low light would i use over bleach blonde colour which peroxide
Dear Silvia, don´t listen to the bad comments down there. You are a very beautiful woman...😘
I love your hair in this video. Would be great to see how to achieve this look at home. 🤍
Is there a way to do a root tap with products from Sally Beauty?
I use all Sally’s products with no problems. I use Demi permanent color to do my root smudge or tap.
For my color I mix equal parts 6N & 9NA & Clear gloss.
But everyone’s root color is different.
My highlights seem to be to warm for my cool skin tone. How would this be avoided?
Thank you
Hi CHRISTINA
Nice to meet you
How are you doing?
Blush color too please!
Hola te sigo desde cuba desde hace tiempo... te agradecería se le pudieras poner subtítulos en español.. porq hay términos q no entiendo
So from your last video a week ago with root touch up and Good Dye Young highlights to this video, you added more highlights and possibly toning - but it’s definitely different and very pretty…would love to know what you did - subtle but pronounced at the same time💛
What is root smudge or tap?
at 5:30 - is that what virgin hair is? I'm never sure if I actually have it. I did a box dye on my hair (didn't really do anything, I'm naturally dark brown, almost black) in middle school and nothing since. I'm 32 now. Do I have virgin hair?
Virgin hair has zero existing bleach or colour on it. So if your hair is shoulder length and you coloured it, depending how fast your hair grows, it would probably take about 2 years to grow out that colour!
Does that help?
So if you haven't coloured or lightened your hair since middle school, it's definitely virgin hair! 😊
@@madyem4672 LOL, OK. I wasn't sure if colouring your hair at all like permanently changes your roots or something.
What do I tell my hairdresser I want if I want ur hair color and contrast ? Please help
Show her a picture of video, her hair is gorgeous
What colors do you have in your hair? Looks like something that would fit me 😍 my hairdresser does balayage and is a free hand color tech or what ever you hair dresser calls it 🤣 she’s advanced af anyway 😅😅
Good time watching good luck yeah for at around here
I think it’s funny caps are back, that’s all I knew.
Oh man. I would never use a highlighting cap again. Forever scared with tiger stripes from the 2000s. In fact, I'll never do my own hair again. I've ruined it too many times 😂
What is your favorite self Tanner?
Caps are “Old school” but SO Amazing I think Bc the lift is all at once & so Even! 🙌🏼🤍
Whats foilayage?
What is root smudge?
Where are you located in Philadelphia??
Thankyou for not using the Lords name in vain.

What did you do for your own hair?
Not the highlighting cap I assure you lol
Did you use any of these techniques for your hair in this video? Which one ?
Where are you located in Philadelphia
San Francisco, slightly south west of philly!
@@Ellebangs could you show full address are you front Philadelphia or around?
I have medium gold blonde hair for years now my husband want me to change my hair color to dark my natural hair color because we have a 3 month old baby girl and thinks she will grow up asking why mom had a different hair color than me and not like herself I’m not sure what to think about this any comments
Tell ur husband to change his hair color instead. Screw that dumb idea!!
@@fuckurbody he has no hair 😂
Guys that cap really stunk in the 80s!!! 😂🤣🤷♀️
Where is your location
Balayage means passer le ballet
Hello love 🌹
Please give me a response
Bla, bla,bla
Highlighting cap isn’t right for anybody lol😑
They can give nice results depending on the direction the person brushed their hair underneath and if a root tap is done. They're pretty popular with Brazilian stylists on Instagram as a way to isolate the hair that isn't going to be bleached.
@@bluebird1694 what do you mean about direction brushed? Do you have example? I want to use a cap
@@suddensong if the hair is either brushed to the back or parted and brushed prior to applying the cap, it'll give a better result vs just slapping the cap on. Other factors include if it's a flimsy cap that allows bleach to sleep through the holes and create splotches vs a cap that has firmer grip in the openings.
Highlight cap is flawless technique!
Only if you don't know what you're doing.
