Thasha Thiru thanks
Thanks😘
Thank you!!
Thasha Thiru i have fine hair, and im getting my hair done tmro, and luckily the color that i wanted is exactly right for my hair ;)
Edit: got my hair dyed, im so happy with it!!
• Cinnamon • I have fine hair too I’m get highlights😌
The hardest part for me is finding a hair stylist who actually knows the techniques that they say they do. I’ve gone in asking for balayage multiple times to different salons and instead of having the product painted on the hair in a flattering v-shape like I’ve seen in your videos- they go straight in with scattered highlights. Frustrating when I ask specifically if they are familiar with these techniques!
Elise Pavek They get so offended but never actually answer the question and 100% ofvthe time let you down. It’s been years and I am still looking for hair colourist that won’t mess up my hair.
Test1 \test2 yes to both of you guys!!!
Ask to see their work in or portfolio to see if you can get what you’re looking for
Elise Pavek so true! My stylist has followed an 80s template on pin striped foil job, as if it was pulled from a cap! . Despite how I tell him every appointment that I want thicker slices and some strategic placement, he couldn’t grasp so we decided to switch to Balayage and the same thing happened… I hear your frustration, please let me know if you find a good stylist! I’m looking too. Good luck!
@@mulliganstew72 you have to ask stylist if they have been trained in that. When they say yes, ask questions if it was continued training with the salon, or on their own, who taught the class, what products did they use. They should be able to tell you. If they say they dont remember, then no they didnt have trng. I think you are looking for ombre not balyage. Ask how they are going to do it. If foil then you know. You want the color in V sections. Also when yor in public look for someone who's hair you adore. Complement & ask where they got it done. They will be flattered and tell you.
I love how honest and real you are when you talk about hair!
You are being really informative overall and particularly on how to have balayage + babylights for the first time to start creating that soft natural look. Thank you so much.
Definitely some outfits that you wear to work in the salon! I love your channel, I'm still a student hairdresser and your explanations are really clear and interesting, it helps me a lot!
Can't wait for your next video with Redken :)
Both. I would love to see you actually working on client. Transformation on client with your tips. I know it's hard to make this type of videos but it would help us hairdressers learn maybe something new because we all have our favourite techniques that we seem to stick to. It's nice to see what others do
I definitely want to see you doing more hair videos in action up close and personal in the salon your techniques and personality in your work.
I feel like you're the only person on TH-cam shedding light on this (applying balayage on fine hair) subject. I totally agree, my own hair is really fine and hard to get a soft line when you bring the blonde up too high... THANKS SILVIA
Just what I thought! I have fine hair and was thinking to get a mixture of the two, babylights and balayage. I love how you explained everything in detail, very helpful video!
Yes go over lightness in the area that are suitable
This video is so helpful! And yes please give us more! The idea you described for future videos would be amazing see.
This is the best explanation I’ve heard of this. As someone with fine but a lot of it hair the stylists that do a combination definitely get the result I’m looking for! The softness and the dimension 🎉
I love your videos, I use to be a hairdresser but haven’t been working in a salon for years but still cut hair on my family and myself. You are a great hairstylist and I get ideas from your videos. Thank you Dottie
Omg you are so beautiful- absolutely love your makeup.. especially this look. So glowy but light 😍❤️
Just found your channel and have already watched so many videos! So glad I found you! You are so thorough, informative and easy to listen to! Love your vids 💛
Id love to see you work at the salon and do a tutorial on a Balyage or ombré. I’m personally a visual learner and I’d love to see how you do it!! Xxo
This was so so so helpful!! I’ve realized I need/want a mixture of both baby lights and balayage. My hair is fine but I have a dense scalp so loooots of it!
Yes go over what lightness works for your face shape. Thank you for the informative tips
So I actually found this video AFTER having the balayage done because I wanted to check if I got what I wanted because it looks different than the pictures I've seen. And now I understand that I am the perfect example that you mention - I have a lot but thin hair and the pictures I've seen and loved are with thick hair. 😂 and what my hairdresser did is exactly what you say - she did balayage with highlights (she even mentioned them at the time and I was suprised then). Shortly, I am happy I found a good hairdresser who knows what she's doing and does what's best for me. But my initial ignorance, lol 🤣
You are an amazing artist my friend. Thank you for the info.
Yes!! Video on highlighting and hair cuts suited for your face shape AND colours for your colour season complexion / eye colour please.
Thank you for this video... such an important video you did an excellent job explaining!
I would love to see a video on which areas on the hair to lighten. 😘😘
I’m lucky cause my hairdresser is incredible and she is so awesome at balayage ( which is what I get most of the time ) and she always know exactly what she’s talking about. I’m thinking of getting a full head of highlights
Great explanation regarding patience with hair goals and the analogy of things taking time to naturally occur like they would outdoors. Excellent vid! Thanks for posting :)
+Jessica Van Raden yay so glad this helped.
YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS
Love this video thank you! Your next video idea sounds awesome 😁
Great advice!! Now I understand everything...thank you for sharing :)
I'd love to see that video about concealing big cheeks in a future video 🤩 this is also an awesome one! Thank you 😘
Thank you for this video. It helped me manage my expectations for my very fine and not a lot of hair.
I learned so much watching this. Thank you
I love ur vids ur such an inspiration ❤️
You are beyond talented and beautiful! Thanks for this! Showing my hairdresser!
Yessss please do the video where to highlight for face shapes! :)
Listening to you educate so in-depth on the topic of hair and break down the process itself to where its comprehensive and helpful, really shows you how some stylists actually dont know crap about hair and what styles work or why they don’t. And often why we end up with the opposite of what we pay so much money for to get,then have to fix sometimes over and over again with the stylist making up an excuse as to why you cant have whats in the picture! Thank you...wish there were more stylists with your knowledge. It would sure make coloring easier lol. 🥂
Yes please! A week of work outfits and hair styles
This was great. So informative! All these examples made so much sense! This should be a series talking about different cuts, styles etc. By the way what is sombre? Ombré mixed with what?
I'd love too see that colour/highlighting for your face shape and hair type video!
Ty so much for all the fabulous tips and styles....this is my new obsession.... I can't wait to go balayage..... I'm so excited.... I love the eyebrows tips....Ive let mine grow out now it's time to try something new....ty do much ur dp beautiful and talented
....keep me posted
Could you do a skincare video? Or maybe spring fragrances and body products? :)
Omg your hair is amazing 😍
I sooo wanna get my hair done by you. Wish I wasnt so far away. Big thanks from Ontario.😘
This was super informative. Thank you !
I say yes to all the fashion idea videos! Always love all your videos!
+Lesley St Germain thanks!! definitely adding these to the list
Great video with good explanations!
All of the video ideas sound very interesting! I say make all of them😍
Thank you for your videos, you are a real help for us non professional but interested people. Thank you.
I have watched your video first time and it is soooooo good ...the details you gave are outstanding .I always want to have some colour on my head but never get enough money to get those treatments...it's so expensive in london...:(
Learned my.lesson with balayage and fine hair, I've always done a lovely balayage but made my sectioned a little too big on my friend that has very fine hair and not much of it, she had a couple of lines (not as bad as the first pic) lesson learned and I fixed it with blended root drag .
You always provide good information. Thank you/
Great Video! A video where to add color to enhance your face shape would be great! I also love your season outfit videos.
apple
Any video about fashion and hair I want to see. Love ur videos and all the information you give. I have fine hair. So thanks so much for this video.
I would love to hear about lightened placements and how to bring attention to our best bits! (No one wants to make a double chin more noticable!) 😉 Im thinking of getting balayage pieces around my face , in an attempt to blend in grey hair a little better and if I knew where to place them, it would help me greatly. 😊
I want to try to my hair now .. thanks for sharing !
Thank you so much for this!!!
Thx for explaining the differences! Can you please do a video on different ways to style the back of your hair? I have mastered the front and am always unsure how to do the back. There is very little (to nothing) on TH-cam. Occasionally I see the back of my hair in pictures and I am always unhappy with the look.
I have fine hair and a girl botched my first ombre, and curled it after to cover up the patchyness that she didn’t blend well, so now i always ask for straight hair after to check their work before i walk out.
I would love to see the summer trends! Love ellebangs!
+Denelle Ball thanks lovely!
Thankyou so much, this is exactly what I needed to hear. I always know exactly what I want but don't know 'technically' what to ask for. I don't know where my hair needs coloured to shape my face best either.. my stylist knew what to do but moved away recently. Shouldn't my new stylist know where to apply color for shape?
Im not even a hairdresser but i think the video of outfits you wear to the salon would be entertaining!!
+Cassie Greulich ok thanks for letting me know.. I was thinking a spring lookbook was more universal for my audience but I like to hear non hairdressers would also be interested in a salon fashion video.
ellebangs more is more though! So i say both :) :)
Talk to much
talk to much
You are so pretty. I usually never comment about this but you are!
Hi...can you please do a video on hair protein treatment or keratin treatment. Your videos are helpful xx
Great advice!
Wow this stylist is so imaginative and such insight on color !!! And a deep understanding on how color works on all types of hair !!! Why can’t this girl be at my salon !!! No she probably is 27464837 miles away. But enjoyed your vid and I have a better understanding of color !! Thanks pretty girl ❤️
I LOVE your entire look in this video, from makeup to your hair, even to your shirt! Do you remember where it's from??
I have fine hair & now know why highlights are best for me. Yes, I would like you to do a video about color placement to enhance facial features. 😀
Great video!! I love them all !!! Any video from you is amazing !! ❤️
+Sabrina Stovall thanks lovely 💛
I have very curly hair and every time I go to a hair stylist they are always visibly shocked when they touch my hair. It’s always so funny because they all say the same thing “wow! You’re hair is SO soft!” I have what I consider fine hair (you can see a lot of my scalp when I put my hair back) but my hair is very long and the “bulk” of it is down by my neck. I completely agree with your above analysis! I noticed that when I get my hair lightened it always looks best when it grows out a little because it’s so hard to get those soft pieces near the top of my head!
Omg i will try this platinum blond color at hairsalon
You are honestly the best at explaining things! 😃 I want to go blonde or blonder at least. Now I have my virgin hair that have a honey blonde or light brown kind of color. Which I got bored of. I want m6 hair to be blonde but not all one color, with highlights! I really hope for the best - fingers crossed 🤞🙃
Yes, a look book please!
Oh yes I'd love to see outfits to wear to the salon 🖐️
I would love to see a video on your thoughts and technique on Peek A Boo Highlights. I am thinking of doing something like that when my hair gets longer
I would like the next video to be where you explain blonde highlights would be good for different face shapes. Especially square faces. ❤️💗
Yes, please cover color "contouring" ! :)
You are so good! Which place of adding highlights suits best for people with large forehead and wants make it look less longger?
Well said dear ❤
Thank you again love💖😍
Great video as usual
I would love to see the strobing or contouring with kites or darks for my round gave. I have long, very thick hair that I just don’t have time to style it every day. Any advice would be so appreciated 🙏👍
Looks amazing
I would love to see a video on highlight placement to reduce or accentuate certain facial characteristics.
Me too
Would love to see how you’d recommend colour placement to slim the face... thank you! 💐
Yes do a video on concealing certain areas! I have very thick hair thinking of doing ombre because tired of doing roots with hair highlights every 4 months. My roots are dark blonde almost brown. What base should I tell my hair dresser having a few grays come through as I am 53 years old now just a few. lol
Thank you for your videos! I’ve been looking up some balayage styles and was wonder whether it’s possible to have a balayage with black hair without bleaching? Maybe with some other color like a dark red or brown instead? Or is it difficult for the color to show up?
I LOVE your hair. gorgeous
Can you do a video on how you get the darker roots & what color you use for your roots.
I’d love to see the video showing where to place color for your face shape!
+Melissa Schneider added to the list
I love you so much! You are such a class act. Love the in depth video's on balayage.
Thanks, Sylvia-I would love u to do a vid about where to add color/light-I'm very petite, and my balyage has grown out way too much-I really feel like having it lighten up hgher makes me look taller. Is that because its drawing the eye up to the light? I LOVE yr tech vids.
I wish I would have watched this before going to the salon. I usually dye/bleach my own hair and it has turned out really nice in the past, I've even gotten compliments from stylists that cut my hair. Now instead of updating my existing balayage I have some grey/brassy mix of a nightmare that doesn't look sun kissed at all. I'm freaking out.
@ellebangs Would you please tell me - How to achieve the look of the hair on 5:42 mark? What colours are those? Some beige blonde mixed with root tap, perhaps?
Definitely would like to see a vid on outfits you wear to the salon! I'm in Cosmo school now and we have salon days where we are allowed to wear all black with just a pop of color which can only be like shoes or some kind of accessory. I really struggle with coming up with fresh ideas on what to wear on those days because of how limited I sometimes feel my choices are. But I know that once I'm licensed finally and starting out in the industry looking for a salon to work at that a good amount of them (at least down here in FL where I live) have a dress code of basically all black. I'm trying to get ideas of how I can be fashionable and look fresh and creative but still follow the rules. I do feel like I see more and more salons these days though where they don't wear ALL black. Anyways, I'm rambling now! I vote yes all the way for that video! Also definitely can't wait to see more collabs with Redken! I toned my hair with Redken Shades EQ recently for the first time because I had been wanting to try their toners for a while now and if there is anyone I've ever watched on TH-cam, when it comes to hair, I think I value your opinion and your experience more than anyone else's. I learned a lot from you before I even started beauty school last Jan and I feel that you explain things in such a way that makes it easy to understand. So I just want to thank you for that because you inspire me to keep going after something I'm passionate about! ❤
And by the way, I LOVED shades eq and the results I was able to achieve on my hair with it! PLUS the fact that it didn't make my hair feel dried out and was so easy to apply. 😊
+iLinda Buchanan aw thank you for taking the time to write this sweet message! 💛
is that your natural base color at the roots? would you consider your hair to be a combo of balayage and babylights?? appreciate your answer sooo much thank you
Very informative! Thanks!!!
+Aryana and Adelina 💛💛
Thnx for all ur TH-cam video,i can see that u r blonde experience is showing so good but can u do one of how we re pigment the hair to ash brown with out make in it faint quickly
Love the nail polish color! Can you do a nail polish video or a self tanning video?
So, my hair is super thick and course. I used to wear it fully hi-lighted, but have gone back to more of my dark blonde color with some natural ombre hi-lights. Well, now I'm getting grey, which is coming in silver. I'm thinking I need to go lighter, because doing my roots more than twice a year(my usual) isn't working with the silver/platinum! What would you suggest I do?
I would love a video about how anyone can go blonde and it to look good without washing your face out! I went blonde probably around the year 2000 and i looked hideous! I looked so washed out and I swore I would never ever go blonde again and I haven't, yet...but I really want to find a way to and for it to look good. Also if there is certain types of people who should never go blonde then a video on that would be good to? Ever since Chloe Kardashian got her hair cut this year into that shorter platinum bob with the dark roots I've been wishing for her hair, so any help and ideas would be amazing! Much love❤️
Sincerely you are beautiful and have great titles wee suggestion for us as viewers were needing more visuals to accomany the verbal explanation. Good luck! 😉
What color lipstick are you wearing in this video. Absolutely love your makeup In this video. Please share with us your makeup products. Thank you.
