I did this on my mom to fix her tiger stripe highlights she got done at a salon and it WORKED SO WELL. It’ looks so blended and natural. I can’t thank you enough for this video!
Hey! I was thinking of doing this on my highlights, but I'm not sure what color should I get. Did you use a dye the same color as your mums roots (her natural hair color) or lighter?
@@silvia_2005_ hope I’m not too late, I tried to match her roots so I got a natural warm dark blonde color AND I got a warm blondeish color and tried to blend them. I put the darker of the two only on her root then the blonde next to it then brushed both down the rest of the hair with the comb. When it grew out it looked so natural.
@@Kathers96 thank you por your reply! Don't worry I haven't done anything yet, now I'll try to do it and see how it goes.
I don’t know how many times I have to tell u this , you are the best on this platform
James...thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge and feeling confident. There are so many hairdressers (and other professions) out there that do not want to share any information because they feel insecure. You are knowledgeable, secured and very professional that you do not mind sharing your wealth of knowledge with others and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. I am very blessed to have found your TH-cam site.
Dodo bird these comments are absolutely wonderful I am so pleased that my videos are helping you so much please keep the comments coming they do really help the channel it is massively appreciated thank you very much all the best James
Love your videos... I been a hairstylist for 20 years. I've tried many balayage techniques. Last week I did your hand blending balayage technique where you lightly push the bleach up the hair shaft with your hand. Amazing results, I am now obsessed with this technique & even more so with the end result. This is by far the best & fastest balayage technique I've seen this far... Thank you for the education. I will keep watching your videos. ❤️
That looks great! I will definitely be using this trick on my own stripey highlights! Don't know why I didn't think of a root stretch! Thanks looking forward to next weeks video!
Superb Sarah glad you enjoyed the video yes that is the secret to root stretch, it will take away those stripes and give you a much more blended feel which stretches are the secret weapon to a lot of my colouring techniques 😉
Love your channel . You have so much knowledge and I think is so wonderful that you are charging it with all of us . You are super talented
Ah thank you its my pleasure, I am super pleased you are enjoying the videos 😁👍🏻

This is my Go to yhe difference it makes on any highlights is incredible. I did learn how to decide the level and it made sense cause when using the ssme level as the base color this doesn't look as good now i know why! So helpful As always thanks !
Rachel Tolliver perfect Rachel, I am very pleased. 😁👍🏻
I had bought a streakyyyyy balayage wig and this def helped me figure out how to fix it !
Your video was very interesting,thank you so much for your help.
Thank you Jen much appreciated glad you enjoyed it👍🏻😁

Adrienne Boullianne 😁✌🏻
great ,well done
Thank you 😁👍🏻
This is an amazing job! My hair is exactly the same color before you put on level 9 demi. In order to get this gorgeous color what kind of level9 have you used?
Love it!
Wonderful Gabi thank you
@@TheLifeOfHair
On the contrary, Thank You.
Stay healthy.
Good job sir I learned too much
My friend got her hair done, some streaks are platinum white blonde while others are dark brown and it’s SO bad, finger crossed for us
Thank you ❤️❤️
You’re very welcome
Someone please explain minute 6:00 again? Does he mean he colored it again with a lighter color or did he say he toned the hair with toner?
Great ideas from you yet again!!! Love it!!! Was it a Demi colour you put on as root stretch???👏🏻😘xx
Odelle Spencer Superb Adele glad you liked it the Demi colour was Redken Shades EQ 06N 👍🏻😁
Gloss Satin Mat...I’ll remember that.
that was brilliant
Superb glad you enjoyed it👍🏻😁
@@TheLifeOfHair Hi
is there any chance you could show how to do a Base break please xx
Could I do something like this for my stripy/chunky highlights AND tone/lift my bleached parts (level 20 with ash blonde color) at the same time? If so, which do I do first?
V v nice
Question . When you did the shadow root or root stretch i notice that you used a small tooth comb . When i have used that kind of comb i feel the color saturates the hair too much and brings the color done too much because the smaller bristles grab the color . A lot of people use a wide tooth comb . Any other tips you can add to that ? Because i do have a lot of clients who want a root stretch with their natural root so it’s less maintenance .
Yes I realise lots of people use white teeth combs but, I feel That generally a wide tooth comb creates an even distribution of colour and therefore I prefer to take finer sections and use a smaller tooth comb to control the amount of product that moving down the hair. if you’re going to use the wide teeth comb then you need to be combing a lot of hair through and I feel like my end results can be a bit more unreliable so if you follow the technique from my root stretch video You will see that a fine tooth comb works perfectly and creates nice even distribution of colour. hope that helps 😁👍🏻
Ty
You’re welcome buddy
Can you hit the roots with a color or does it have to be a ‘tint’?
Thank you, lovely video! I have a question : is the dark color used permanent, alkaline demi or acidic demi? One of the hairdressers I follow on instagram uses a similar slicing & smudge technique to create her balayage looks, and claims it is much faster than other techniques, and therefore cheaper for the client. She recommends alkaline demis on roots, I suppose because is doesn't fade as fast as acidic, and is still easier lifer than permanent for the next round.
Sorry i didn't See this Comment till now, fantastic question 👍🏻 i use both acid and mild alkaline demi permanent and i always try and use acidic colour over previously coloured hair but there are some occasions that i want more coverage/colour density than acidic colour can give me. i hope that answers you question if not please dont hesitate to get in touch 😀 ✌🏻
Nice
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks .. I just did a balayage. Came out stripe on top. Not sure to use demi color or semi color /Her roots hair lite brown with dark blonde balayage?.Your video has given me confidence in correcting
it. I have done this with hilites corrections. I just started doing the balayage.
Wonderful hope you manage to fix it Diana got the video was helpful
Could you skip some foils on the mohauk section if you want a more subtle look?
I appreciate you sincerely with love 윤지우 😊
Can we use a regular drug store box die that I usually use on my hair? The salon just gave me stripey blond (thin stripes though) over my medium brown base.
Another great video! I’m going to tell everyone at work about your videos!! Sadly there are some people that aren’t interested, but most good stylists want to keep learning!!
Ps. I’ve got clients that still like that stripey look!! I’m in the Midwest tho-styles don’t get popular here until they are going out on the East and West coast of the US!!
Thank you Diane for spreading the word very kind of you, Yes I realise there are still clients out there who like the stripey look I also had a couple until probably about a year ago when I took them out of it that some people never change I totally appreciate that 👍🏻😁
Hi great vid. I work with a brand that tells us to pre colour to the undercoat of the level your working with. So the level 8 stripey highlights were yellow orange and you used a level 6 over that which looked lovely, did you put any warmth in to add some pigment as a level 6 undercoat is red/orange ? Also wondered what sort of longevity the colour will have. Thanks love the correction .
well not exactly as much as i did put back some of the natural under tone back its hard to explain in this comments section but hopefully this video will help th-cam.com/video/ddCTy2cIELc/w-d-xo.html hopefully this with explain please get in touch if you have any further questions best J
@@TheLifeOfHair thanks for the reply. Its obviously different brands have different undercoat rules/ways of prepigmenting if needed. Your brand's video for pre pigmenting was interesting though.
Louise Mortlock I think this is an interesting topic one of the things that I think about colour is that no brand owns the colour! the colour they make is what they call their own and when it boils down to it colour is colour no matter who makes it this is the topic I’m planning to cover the forthcoming video keep a look out for it I would love to hear what you think 😁👍🏻
How did you not get the color on the blonde when grabbing the blonde with the color hand?
Beautiful result. At the end you said you globally applied a level 9, was that on all roots and mids and ends, basically everywhere all over the head? Just to clarify it for me as I don't understand why you would apply a level 9 over level 6 roots? I'm only doing hair 3 years so hence the question. Thank you.
Ruth O'Regan Yes I applied it globally I will have no affect on the level six but as to avoid missing any I would rather apply to all the hair and risk the chance of missing some. Hope that answers your question 😁👍🏻
The Life Of Hair ok thank you so much I get it and I also should have asked if the level 9 was a demi or a permanent? Thank you
Ruth O'Regan I always use Demi, specially over previously bleached hair because when you bleach the hair and hair becomes alkaline and Demi permanent colours tend to be more acidic giving you a better finish and more shine because acid closes the cuticles 😁👍🏻
I loved how easy you have explained Bayalage. I recently did highlights at a salon and it turns out too light for my original hair (NO. 3). I wanted a golden brown bayalage , how do I fix this? Please help!
I would say the best way to fix your predicament is to follow this video this video but I am so golden blonde colour on the ends
Would a semi permanent box dye work for the end toning ?? Can't seem to get a 9 tube demi anywhere
Yes it would the only thing that I would warn you about is that if you tone with a permanent colour it will be more damaging not buy loads but it will be more damaging than using a Demi permanent 😁👍🏻
New subbie, I’m not a professional but I love doing hair!
Question: how do you prevent the darker color from transferring to the blonde when rinsing? Do you suggest adding conditioner to the blonde you don’t want the brown to bleed on?
Thanks for the Sub, so to prevent the dark colour bleeding you yes you can add add conditioner to help but in the salon I just make sure to rinse the hair nice and fast 👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair if we wash hair with shampoo and conditioner or plax mask for detangling te teezed highlights and apply toner for colour wld it absorbs te colour or fade away fast
Does your Lightner swell?
Hey James, sorry for such a late comment, lol, but just found this video, and I was wondering, at the end you said you used a level 9 shade for her ends, but you had said they had lifted to a level 8.. I know that level 9 toners can't lift level 8 hair, but do they still do SOME neutralizing or glossing?
I ask because I have lifted my hair to level 8's before, and i just automatically go for a toner that is on level, or a shade darker because I don't want to waste any of my level 9 shades, but now I'm thinking maybe I should try higher levels to tone? So that I don't get that muddy look? (I prefer only using shades EQ although for root smudges/stretches, I've used igora vibrance)
Hi thank you for your question yes level nine toner will tone a level eight but not to the same degree of tonal change as if you used it on the correct level. think of it as not as powerful when you have a lighter chain and therefore you will not get the tonal effect that you would expect from a colour that you were tone on level Hope that makes sense and the best James
You are amazing!
And please What brand of color you use specially the 6?
2004bebetony1 Very kind of you to say thank you, it’s all Redken Shades EQ 😁👍🏻
The Life Of Hair thank so much 🙏🏼
2004bebetony1 you are very welcome
Nice blend....did you use shades gloss?
Heather G thank you Heather, glad yes shades EQ with gel developer to make it thicker. 😁👍🏻
I wish you’d shown a video portion of you applying the root color on the back of the head.
Sorry I am always Conscious not to make the videos too long, The back is applied like the front 👍🏻
Amazing knowledge!
Shame that at school they didn't tell me about it especially how to choose color for the root.
Can I ask if this method ( to choose color between natural and highlighted hair) works for every highlighted hair? Let's say I make nice highlights and just want to blur the line etc so I use the same method....sorry but little bit confused with it and what to do if I need to use permanent for gray hair I apply permanent for the root and after go little bit down with the comb wait and apply toner?
Fantastic yes so put your foils in then in between your foils do your root stretch to blur away any highlights between the foils if you do have white hairs present then just use your permanent root colour that you are using to cover the white hairs with it would be too complicated to do anything else 👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair I'm not sure if I got it .... why do I have to apply root stretch between foils? For better contrast?
And if so knowing that she has regrown hair how to apply root stretch if after I have to use permanent color for it
She has regrown level 5 with 70% Gray hair in some places only,the lenght and ends 7.43 and 8
Sorry for being enoying
👌💕
hi, i hope you see my comment. can i ask what’s the exact products you used when applying level 6?
Redken shades EQ06N 👍🏻
yes but what if the dark hair is level 3 all way to the ends and not light like the doll?
James, I am based in London and have the awful tiger striped highlights you demonstrated in this video. Desperate to get rid of them and ideally move back to balayage from full head highlights. Unfortunately I can’t travel to Brighton to book in with you, but wondering if you can recommend someone in central London who would be a safe pair of hands? Have had two years of bad colour and correction; can’t face any more disasters! Thanks in advance
Thanks for your comment Emily If you add me on Instagram @thelifeofhair1 I can link you to a good friend of mine who will be more than happy to help you out.
Do you do the root colour on wer or dry
Hi Tracy thanks for the question I’ll try and do everything on dry if I can however unless I’m covering cry I do quite often Tone damp hair thoroughly towel dried 👍🏻
How would you achieve “chunky highlights” without the stripe?
With a root shadow and a root tap you can do chunky highlights providing you blend them out at the root do a root tap with the natural colour then stretch it into a colour that is one shade lighter than the natural and then you’ll have chunky to pieces through the Midlands and ends and a much more blended route area. Hope that explains your question 😁👍🏻
What did u use I need help I have stripes in my hair
To do this technique you just need a colour that is the same colour as your natural level and blend away the lines using that
My natural hair color?
Omg
you amaizing
Thank you 🙏🏻

I love this it is what i want formy curly hair🧑🦰🇦🇺🌹
James, you’re a very talented hairstylist, but you need a updated style yourself.
Thank you Cat, and my style is a very deliberate choice 99% of my clothes are black and I only have a small selection of clothes I buy good quality items that last and if I get bleach on them I die them black so I can get to most wear out of them i believe clothes should be utilitarian, sustainable and not get in the way of my day 😁✌🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair I'm currently wearing my old black faded Jeans, got bleach on them today and will be dying them black too, the way I see it is they have lasted me well so I'll keep them going! I also own a tumble dryer from.1981 which is still going strong and I love it!
Too farts 😓😓😓
Too farts so does that mean?
@@TheLifeOfHair maybe she meant “too fast”? Either way it gave me a good giggle 😆 I’m going to try this method on my daughter. This was a great video, thank you!!
