Hello nice tutorial...i am brown skin..but my problem with my hair i have grey hairs and its really annoys me everyweek i have to color my hair..what color can you recommend for me?i want to color my hair and i want that it should be same as my grey hair...but i have a brown skin tone..Thankyou
for all the pros on here saying "just go to a salon, don't risk it, etc..." Sounds like sound advice, if only it was more affordable to have the luxury to do so on the regular. It's literally why these videos exist.
Right... and it’s not that we don’t appreciate our hairdresser’s talents - we do! It’s just we can’t always pay the price and we have to make do with DIY jobs. So instructional like this can be very helpful and again, appreciated.
Kim Howard any kind of beauty service is considered a luxury service , that’s why we’ve paid so much to go to school because professionals are the ones who are supposed to do hair to maintain its health. TH-cam university isn’t a real thing and people think they can skip out on the education and just do it themselves when that’s not how it works.
I’m not saying that in a rude manner at all I promise , I’ve just seen so many people mess up their hair from trying to do it themselves then they end up having to pay twice as much to get it fixed . Balayage and special techniques should be done by a professional that has the education to back it up , coloring your hair at home of course can be done by someone DIY , but highlights and special techniques etc I feel should be handled by professionals who know the ins and outs of how the hair works and how to maintain its health . ❤️❤️
As a stylist whose been doing her hair own hair for years this is exactly how i’ve been doing mine for awhile now. This method does work. Actually touching up my blonde today! Great video.
I can't thank you enough Sylvia , After my hairdresser went on leave and another girl over bleached my foiled hair so badly I honestly thought my hair would never recover...but 6 months later no trip to the salon I've been re touching my hair with your steps of baby lights and hand painting. My hair is so happy . Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx
Every one of her technique videos are laden with comments from "professionals" chastising and demeaning anyone who says they will try this in just the most inappropriate way. The insecurity has a toxic air, but completely fails to realise that there armys of single moms, small town girls without a decent salon, working through college etc all willing to take a chance vs doing without, they have every right, it's their own hair, they arent liable to anyone else, and many of them do a good job, al learn from it regardless. One day they will have the money to spend, and will find the right stylist for them, dont hate and it may be you. Personally I got tired of crying over a $300 bad color, cut and style, so as I learned I laughed at myself instead. My hair now has never been healthier, and I have never been happier, we weren't all meant to be your clients, don't feel bad, I do my own mechanics too because women are beasts!!!
Finally someone said this in a succinct way. Not to mention, I cannot tell you the countless articles I’ve stumbled upon that are meant for professional hairstylists/colorists that give advice and ways to make ‘idiot proof’ services ‘seem’ more ‘high end’ with the single purpose of making the client BELIEVE that they can’t do it at home and they also tell you how to ‘justify’ [AKA:: fool, trick] charging higher prices. So for example: they say to never charge based on the amount of time it takes to ‘install’ hair extensions ‘because it’s a fairly simple and straightforward process’ and then it goes on to advise the reader in multiple workarounds for getting the most money out of the client. I respect the work and even more so respect stylists with actual talent but I hate the trend of hairstylists being snobby and condescending...even the broke ones /awful ones. Anywho.
Jennifer, I love the way you said this! And I agree. The negativity from stylists is unnecessary. Your words and confidence in your hair inspires me to follow through with doing this at home! Thank you for the reminder that women are awesome!
You make a good point about crying over $300 cut/color/style. I’m tired of paying money to “high-end” salon hairdressers who do a shitty job. I’m ready to just learn to do it myself. It’s not rocket science, they act like mixing shit together is something only highly skilled ppl can figure out. Yes, it does take a lot of research and following the instructions, but normal ppl can do this themselves. The disasters happen when ppl don’t read the instruction or are too impatient and cut corners or they’re trying something that their hair can’t do
Absolutely love this tutorial, and have been using this technique at home the last year and a half with amazing results! My hair is much healthier now that I'm only doing this 3x a year and it's the longest its been in a decade due to the lack of breakage from not bleaching it constantly! Thanks for this video! 😁❤
Marie Wilfong yes! But you can buy bleach and developer (use 20 vol since her bleach has bonder she bumped to 30 vol). Then to root tap buy 6n in wella, for toning try something like 9na and 10n! Make sure root tap and toner are Demi or semi permanent, they will have their own processing fluid, do not use 20 vol! Best of luck!
I’ve often wondered if I could pull off doing my balayage maintenance at home to save the expense of the salon. This video made me realize that no, I most certainly cannot. Will gladly keep giving my hair stylist my money because you guys are wizards
Chandra Cox Nope. Some people don’t have the skills for it and will ruin their own hair. Either practice on wigs first until you’re an expert or go to a hair stylist. Even if you succeed on a mannequin, it’s still super hard to do it on your own head. I would wanna do this but I’ll mess it up so I rather just use the eZn foam bleach to lighten my hair
Oh my dear lord, I just love the comments "No you can do this yourself". Ok, Karen. I totally thought those bleach do it yourself pre-hole cut plastic wraps from Arbor Drugs in order to create the perfect chunky hilight was the total shit back in 1997, but no one actually thought that was a good look. This is why we pay people to do what they do, because they know how to do it.
I have just followed this tutorial step by step product by product and WOW It has exceeded all my expectations . Thank you for sharing your tips.. AMAZING!!!!
I'm a hair stylist of 12yrs & am about to use this technique on myself! I was also trained by Redken & use their products as well; this is for sure the easiest technique to do a DIY baylayage! You go girl! Deffo a helpful video! Thanks fellow stylist,😋😎😍
Finally a local stylist. I hate finding someone I love and realizing I’d never even have the chance to get colored by them. But you.. you’re right here 👍🏽😁
After spending 1 year cutting my own hair, what i can do reasonably well by now, and after watching a ton of your Videos just made my order online of a bleaching powder, developer and shades eq to tone my balayage/ highlight attempt. Now all i have to do is wait for it to get delivered and give it a go!
🎉❤❤I did this to my hair, and the only thing I used was blonde me bleach instead. No smell, some bleeding bud the toner process she mentions, makes a big difference. Finally had time for me! Thanks girl. Once I do this more and more, the better the outcome! Thank you
Omg I just attempted this for my own hair because I'm just done going to the salon. And this was sooooo hard 😆 BUT I was able to manage. And it came out pretty decent for the first time ever doing touch up or highlights 😬😳
I tried this! Didn't use proper foil and stripped some kitchen which was difficult to work with so definitely invest in salon foil. I also used the Moroccan sand root tap and then blended a little of that with the mist EQ for my overall toner. I am no expert and the bleaching was far from perfect - although colour lifted fine, the toners really make the look and fix and unwanted orange as well as blending the bleach lifted parts. Would highly recommend if you have lockdown hair woes! Thanks so much Silvia! I love my new hair and can't believe I managed to sort my blonde out as I'm a natural brunette! X
Thank you for your tutorials! I have been binging for the past few days lol. After going to three hairdressers that can’t seem to cut my hair to the very basic cut I show pictures of, I’m going to do it myself. Thanks for all the tips. It has nothing to do with the amount of money,it has to do with someone listening to what I want!!
@@Cmm474 that’s so disappointing and I’m sorry you aren’t satisfied after spending so much money. I have been very satisfied with doing my own cuts and color! It might be worth it for you to do a virtual consult with Silvia and get some advice.
This video came just in time. I'm putting in my hi lights today. I just noticed something I must have missed in passed videos. Teasing the root before bleach application... hmmm... Gloss at the root... I'm thinking that's going to help with hot roots, that struggle is real for me which, is why I avoid going above a level seven lately. Love it...
Looks so easy to do it by yourself, but I know that it's hard... Want to take a risk and to do a touch up on my roots by myself. Thanks for sharing with us. You help us to find a right and easy way to do.🥰♥️💐
Your videos have helped me so much. I am unable to go to a hairdresser to have my hair coloured as sitting at the shampoo bowls can be quite damaging to my neck (I have EDS, my joints dislocate and partially dislocate v easily). But I love being creative with hair colour and thanks to people like yourself, Ive learnt how to do it myself. Been doing it for about past 30 years, luckily have never ruined my hair doing it myself. Although sometimes my colour choices have been questionable! 😂 Thankyou for teaching us, and being respectful about it! I'd love to be able to have a professional do my hair, while I sip tea and gossip with the hairdresser! But unfortunatly its not something I can do. Your hair always looks great. 😃 🌹🌹🌹 Edit: dodgey spelling! 😂
Thank you thank you thank you for making this!!!!!!! I have never gotten my hair to lift to where I needed it to be or get the tone I wanted, but now it’s perfect!!!!!! My banding is gone and so is a majority of the warmth I had. I’m so happy! Thank you!!
1. You are GORGEOUS 2. Love your videos; straight to the point & not annoying like most tutorials lol 3. I’m a 5 year licensed cosmetologist & even this is hard for me! Don’t want to be annoying but my hair is SO THICK & LONG this shit takes me foreverrrrr wish I lived closer to you! Thanks for the helpful video xxxx
You are simply the best on youtube, sharing all this knowledge. Thanks to your tutorials I have been able to maintain my hair at home and usually asked where I get my hair done and getting compliments. Thank you 💖💖
It’s now May 15th, 2020. I have been trying so SO hard to keep my unlicensed/uninformed hands off of my hair but I have an incredible lack of self discipline, my balayage has completely grown out and Im seeing way too much of my natural hair color for the first time in like.. i dunno .. how old would you be in 5th grade? Well, take whatever that age is and minus it from 30. Anyway, I can’t take it anymore and I’m just gonna go for it. I’m so happy to have this video as a guide and a great source of information. Wish me luck!
When i bleached my hair for the first time i did a great job.I was not scared i had no clue how it will came out.I just did it. But than when i saw some bleach fails on youtube.I thought i could fail aswell like them.And now here I m failing every time.Bcoz im scared.I think we should never be scared.Its hair.It will grow out or we can cut it off.
@@mywavesofgrain bcoz all the time i think what if my hair breakes off,what if i let it to much the process,what if i need to cut it teally short. And all the unnesesary thoughts. Then i let it not enough sit on my hair or it comes patchy out. So better if i didnt watch all the videos bcoz i would be more comfident now and maube i would react in the right time.
Oh my gosh. Watching you do the back of your hair just by the 'feel' of painting it...showed what a MASTER you are. I need to come to San Fran . to see you.:)
love all the videos ,makes it seem so easy but the public does not have access to redken shades eq hair colors, the only hair supply there is ,is SALLY which doesnt carry them
After spending $300+ for multiple botched highlights/balayages, this video is a god-send. I have been doing my own platinum blonde for years but want to transition to something more dimensional.
I just want to thank you for all your help, you look gorgeous being pregnant as well. you an Adam remind me of me and my bf. you two are funny, you can tell you guys have been together in pandemic. lol I will try me best to follow this video and I will let you know how my hair turns out. just waiting for the rest of my product to get here.
To #ElleBangs, this video is amazing!!! I ordered all of these products a couple of months ago and have been scared to try this... but, I literally just got done doing this and my hair turned out so perfect! It’s not as light as yours, but that is because I wanted to keep it a bit more natural. I would say if someone has never done anything with their hair, go watch pros do it first in person. I used to bleach all of my hair for years but was not brave enough to try hightlights because it takes skill. But, ElleBangs, you are an awesome teacher and again, thank you so much!!! I love my hair! 💋
I really want to learn how to do this myself!! Ive spent $300 this year getting my hair done twice..both times ive showed the hairdresser exactly what I want and my hair somehow never looks like the pics😑. This time specifically said i want my hair brighter/blonder and its actually darker...
It's not very hard to do, just make sure you do a strand test to see how your hair will lift using whichever products you choose :) and if you're doing the whole head and you're slower, do one half, process, wash etc and then do the other one. Do not rush or over process
I'm still trying to finish the very first bottle of Olaplex (got it cause your recommended it and what a life saver for the daring and DIY girl, like myself). The Redken kit is easier to use. I only used it once (because I had to try it). Can't wait to finish it so I can see how the Redken bonder works over time.
Can't wait to watch this! I used your babylights tutorial and mixed it with what I've learned through other stylists on TH-cam and Instagram videos (and filmed a video that I still haven't posted) and it went really well! Maybe I'll try this next! :)
I LOVE THIS VIDEO, I really would like to try this but now I have two questions 1st. Are those products available to non licensed? And what to do to keep the results from becoming brassy orange tones?
They are available at Amazon no license needed. I really love how she works with the products. I'm a cosmetologist but my hair is waist long and do the bleach by sections front, sides and back, you need to just get the hang of your own hair, as everyone's hair is different to process. Mine is very delicate with bleach and if I would do it all in one sitting it would be a big mess(will burn) I do, do the toner all at once. Hope this helps you😘
@@JamiesLife I don't mean to sound harsh...I would NOT recommend buying professional products from Walmart. I would only buy, if you are not a licensed cosmetologist, from a salon. You are not guaranteed a fresh product from Walmart or any store other than a salon. Im just saying and again not trying to sound harsh. They can be expired products.
If you've previously had highlights which have grown out and therefore don't have much blonde at the front as you already had, would you recommend sectioning a centre section in the middle of your head (as you would if you had a half head of highlights) and doing a few foils at the front rather than starting from the sides and just baby lights on top?
Have watched you for a long time, I'm a stylist and also do my own hair. Thank you for sharing, but the hardest thing for me is teasing the hair and getting the teasing out.
My daughter and I tried to do this on a couple of sample pieces of her hair (we cut her hair so we could try it first). We followed your instruction from the video but the pieces of hair have a greenish tone to them after we toned the hair. Any suggestions? Should we use a different toner? Should we do something to correct the green after toning? Since we haven’t done this on her actual hair, we can try something else on the cut pieces if you can help us. THANKS! We love your videos!!
I honestly am scared to go to the hair stylist. I’ve had so many horrendous things done to my hair by professional stylists at both highly recommended salons and cheap places that I’m just scared of another bad haircut or color. I cut my own hair now and I’m thinking about doing color myself now too. I don’t want to mess it up but I don’t know if it’ll be better or worse than what they’d do at a salon
Hola me encanta tu trabajo. Una pregunta si no podemos usar los mismos productos que tú utilizás cual me podrías recomendar. Soy estudiante de peluquería. Xfa necesito tu consejo. Una saludo Didi
Wow your hair looks beautiful. I went to the wrong salon i guess and got my hair ruined and now I feel like I need to shave my head. Its so brittle and broken off and terribly frizzy looking. Not sure what I could do to save it. How could I get you to do my hair??
Looks beautiful! Quick question, Does all the teasing break the hair? I was uncomfortable with my stylist who teased each piece so much! And honest,y the color was not bright enough and I barely noticed a difference in color change
Great instructional video! I have a question about the root process. Did you have 2 mixing bowls for two different products?One for the 07N and 09NA ? mixed together with processing solution? Thanks!
Hey Catherine. A root tap or root smudge just gives it a more beautiful natural blend instead of the harsh blonde streaks that can make you look skunky..i hope that helps
How do you maintain blonde high lights. Be all my life I would to dye my hair light brown and I would pull my hair through the cap, put the bleach on the hair on cap. Leave it in an hour then rinsed it. I always used revlon color silk in light brown and purchased the revlon high lighting kit. But every 3to 4 month I would repeat the process. Now at 58, I have gotten really exhausted to continue doing it. So I did it a year ago all over my hair the high lights the following month the grays were out. So I went to a salon. The lady just did my top of my hair by she said I had done my high lights like a professional. I worked at Sally Beauty Supplies for almost 8 years. And I never used their products by I was use to using what I always used. I am still doing my high lights. I love to do it. Only that I am getting older. It’s harder. Enjoyed your video. Take care.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
WOW! this is amazing! I love your hair. You made it look so easy and flawless! Id never attempt this at home but thank you for showing us how to do this!!
I have highlighted my hair for years using the "cap". Have wanted to balayage myself and found your video extremely helpful. Regarding the root application: did you have 2 bowls of solution for that process? I couldn't tell from the angle. Thanks!
????? Where do you suggest we (non-professionals) buy the Redken products you have listed above???? SalonCentric is a professionals-only store. Looking online, there is only eBay (and that's not guaranteed) and some at Walmart, but they are "out of stock." Where do we buy the Redken products, or what is a good alternative hair color brand (please provide shade-codes info) that is available to be purchased by non-professionals at a local beauty store? Much appreciated!
Wow! You are really good! I have watched so many tutorials on easier ways to do my own hair. By far, your's was so much more helpful. I've always done my own hair ( I did go to cosmetology school) and I'm a fellow Blondie. Thank you for simplifying this difficult task.
How come this one seems way more simple than the “bleaching your hair at home (safely) vid? And why do you use diff products? 😭 I wanna do it at home but now I’m confused on what to use!! Help please! Xo
I usually never comment but I have to for this one. A week ago I went to the salon and they completely botched my balayage… I went in again (because I complained) for a complimentary re-do and it still looked so bad! So much banding and ORANGE at the roots, yuck! I came across this video and bought everything you mentioned. Honestly, after the bleaching i was a bit horrified… still some orange bits.. but I persisted with the Shades EQ and it came out SO well in the end I’m so happy with it. You are amazing. Thank you for saving my hair and saving me ££!! 🤍🤍
This is reaaaally beautiful color. And the video is very helpful. But i have a question I can’t find the 30vol developer. What if i use 20 vol what will be the difference? And I can’t find the 010N gloss
Gorgeous! And you make it look so easy lol! Quick question...Can you apply permanent color in the shades you mentioned, like I usually use 10A and 9N for all over color, but I really love the way yours look with just the toner. I tone my hair after bleaching and coloring, but I just wanted to know if it is safe to use color after highlighting, or do I need to just be toning? Ahh, being a blonde is so frustrating some times, but it's totally worth it in the end! Thx for sharing! Your hair is my dream color, cut, and style! xoxoJJ
Hey, I live in Canada and cannot find redken flashlift with bonder anywhere. I can’t even find it for purchase online. Is there a dupe or a secondary suggestion of something I can use in its place??
For those asking, my hot tools are by T3. If you're in the market for a new Hot Tool check them out and If you want a Discount use code ELLEBANGST315 for 15% off. As I've mentioned I am a T3 Ambassador and It's what I've been using exclusively for more than 3 years.
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have a darker base like yours and did the baby lights and root tap myself and it turned out really good for my first try! I’ve gotten several compliments. I’m really enjoying learning to do my hair myself. One question I have is, you showed 2 bowls when applying the root tap, did you mix the 2 colors separately? I used the formula in your baby light video but I’m curious about mixing the ones you showed here. Thanks again!
I love your videos. The only question I have is that I have used shades eq for years. I have fine hair and it does not stick to my roots/regrowth/healthy hair at all. I have to put a toner perm on them to soften the line. Unfortunately.
Hi Elle,can I still use this toner after one month of doing my hair because I didn't like the color I have it's too yellow. Thanks so much for this awesome video.
OMG, this is so hard! I def won't to it at home. Btw, I actually love a tad darker colour on you especially on the front. This blonde seems like too much.
You make it look so easy, Sylvia. However, I would never try this myself. I'm afraid that I would screw it up! Lol. How do you do the back?? That would be my problem. Lol. That's why I have had my highlights done by a professional. They know what they are doing. I don't. Lol. ❤
I love your videos and I’m learning so much on how to do my hair. Thank you so much 😊 for your tips and everything you do . What color do you use for your base color .
Oh my gosh thank you so much for making this video! I am a licensed hairdresser of over 10 years and I am super picky about my hair. I have tried to have others get me to the blonde that I want and nobody has able to do that for me. I’m going to Cosmoprof tomorrow and purchasing theLeitner and toner that was recommended. And will be doing my own hair for now on
I did this with the same colors but with Age Beautiful high lift bleach and 20 vol (I already had on hand). I love it!!!! Turned out awesome. I had a small issue with the back not getting enough time but with toner it looked great. I’ve never used foils and wound up with a more noticeable line at roots but I’m the only one who sees it. Need help next time to cover grays. My hair is slightly darker than yours maybe? I do have many more grays. I’m 52. How can I get those covered?
There is a great video on a girl that shows how to do greys, she weaves in a ton of baby lights. Like very thin can see through the hair foils. Its blended so well. Looked good. Another video said some ppl have darker greys on one side and not the other. In that instance she does babylights on the lighter side and heavier foils on the dark ones.
Hi Sylvia, really great tutorial but just wondering how you do the back and underneath sections of hair? do you do these in the same method but with a different level of developer?
I cant imagine using all these products. The only time I ever colored my own hair hair I used 3% hydrogen peroxide and my hair looked good and stayed soft
Came across a salon that has a monthly subscription. There are 40 videos there and they add new ones regularly. Online education. Shows foil, how to do it. San Diego salon. www.three-coloreducation.com

Nope. Some people don’t have the skills for it and will ruin their own hair. Either practice on wigs first until you’re an expert or go to a hair stylist. Even if you succeed on a mannequin, it’s still super hard to do it on your own head. I would wanna do this but I’ll mess it up so I rather just use the eZn foam bleach to lighten my hair
Chandra Cox Disgusting.
Oh my dear lord, I just love the comments "No you can do this yourself". Ok, Karen. I totally thought those bleach do it yourself pre-hole cut plastic wraps from Arbor Drugs in order to create the perfect chunky hilight was the total shit back in 1997, but no one actually thought that was a good look. This is why we pay people to do what they do, because they know how to do it.
I have just followed this tutorial step by step product by product and WOW It has exceeded all my expectations . Thank you for sharing your tips.. AMAZING!!!!
I am no way at all a professional. Your tutorials make doing my own hair so easy. Ive been using your tutorials for a while now. Thank you so much❤
I’ve had her vids locked and loaded for a bit, I’m gonna go for it… today’s the day! #WishMeLuck 🍀 Lol
I'm a hair stylist of 12yrs & am about to use this technique on myself! I was also trained by Redken & use their products as well; this is for sure the easiest technique to do a DIY baylayage! You go girl! Deffo a helpful video! Thanks fellow stylist,😋😎😍
How did it go?
Finally a local stylist. I hate finding someone I love and realizing I’d never even have the chance to get colored by them. But you.. you’re right here 👍🏽😁
After spending 1 year cutting my own hair, what i can do reasonably well by now, and after watching a ton of your Videos just made my order online of a bleaching powder, developer and shades eq to tone my balayage/ highlight attempt. Now all i have to do is wait for it to get delivered and give it a go!
Sorry where did you find shades eq. I am not a licensed pro and would like to try this on my hair
🎉❤❤I did this to my hair, and the only thing I used was blonde me bleach instead. No smell, some bleeding bud the toner process she mentions, makes a big difference. Finally had time for me! Thanks girl. Once I do this more and more, the better the outcome! Thank you
This is saving me so much money, and now I can control how I want it. Thank you!!🥺
Girl you make it look easy but it’s not. You’re just talented. Thank you for trying to help us sad little balayage fiends 😔
Omg I just attempted this for my own hair because I'm just done going to the salon. And this was sooooo hard 😆 BUT I was able to manage. And it came out pretty decent for the first time ever doing touch up or highlights 😬😳
Where did you find the toners?
I tried this! Didn't use proper foil and stripped some kitchen which was difficult to work with so definitely invest in salon foil. I also used the Moroccan sand root tap and then blended a little of that with the mist EQ for my overall toner. I am no expert and the bleaching was far from perfect - although colour lifted fine, the toners really make the look and fix and unwanted orange as well as blending the bleach lifted parts. Would highly recommend if you have lockdown hair woes! Thanks so much Silvia! I love my new hair and can't believe I managed to sort my blonde out as I'm a natural brunette! X
Can you make a video on how you do the rest of your hair like the lower sides and lower back?
Use a 2 big mirrors ❤️ saved my life I swear to god
Sip
@Political Queen ok
Ok
Thank you for your tutorials! I have been binging for the past few days lol. After going to three hairdressers that can’t seem to cut my hair to the very basic cut I show pictures of, I’m going to do it myself. Thanks for all the tips. It has nothing to do with the amount of money,it has to do with someone listening to what I want!!
Did you get it how you like? I just got mine done but not happy. Spent 400$ too so I’m going to diy the top section at least :(
@@Cmm474 that’s so disappointing and I’m sorry you aren’t satisfied after spending so much money. I have been very satisfied with doing my own cuts and color! It might be worth it for you to do a virtual consult with Silvia and get some advice.
This video came just in time. I'm putting in my hi lights today. I just noticed something I must have missed in passed videos. Teasing the root before bleach application... hmmm... Gloss at the root... I'm thinking that's going to help with hot roots, that struggle is real for me which, is why I avoid going above a level seven lately. Love it...
Looks so easy to do it by yourself, but I know that it's hard... Want to take a risk and to do a touch up on my roots by myself. Thanks for sharing with us. You help us to find a right and easy way to do.🥰♥️💐
Gayane Khachaturyan how did it turn out
@@mylifeassoph43 Amazing! But it was a little difficult))
Your videos have helped me so much. I am unable to go to a hairdresser to have my hair coloured as sitting at the shampoo bowls can be quite damaging to my neck (I have EDS, my joints dislocate and partially dislocate v easily). But I love being creative with hair colour and thanks to people like yourself, Ive learnt how to do it myself.
Been doing it for about past 30 years, luckily have never ruined my hair doing it myself. Although sometimes my colour choices have been questionable! 😂
Thankyou for teaching us, and being respectful about it! I'd love to be able to have a professional do my hair, while I sip tea and gossip with the hairdresser! But unfortunatly its not something I can do.
Your hair always looks great. 😃 🌹🌹🌹
Edit: dodgey spelling! 😂
I feel like I need to do some pushups first and build my arm strength.
Lmfao!!! Same, I have the worst upper body strength
Exactly!!
Thank you thank you thank you for making this!!!!!!! I have never gotten my hair to lift to where I needed it to be or get the tone I wanted, but now it’s perfect!!!!!! My banding is gone and so is a majority of the warmth I had. I’m so happy! Thank you!!
1. You are GORGEOUS 2. Love your videos; straight to the point & not annoying like most tutorials lol 3. I’m a 5 year licensed cosmetologist & even this is hard for me! Don’t want to be annoying but my hair is SO THICK & LONG this shit takes me foreverrrrr wish I lived closer to you! Thanks for the helpful video xxxx
You are simply the best on youtube, sharing all this knowledge. Thanks to your tutorials I have been able to maintain my hair at home and usually asked where I get my hair done and getting compliments.
Thank you 💖💖
It’s now May 15th, 2020. I have been trying so SO hard to keep my unlicensed/uninformed hands off of my hair but I have an incredible lack of self discipline, my balayage has completely grown out and Im seeing way too much of my
natural hair color for the first time in like.. i dunno .. how old would you be in 5th grade? Well, take whatever that age is and minus it from 30.
Anyway, I can’t take it anymore and I’m just gonna go for it. I’m so happy to have this video as a guide and a great source of information. Wish me luck!
When i bleached my hair for the first time i did a great job.I was not scared i had no clue how it will came out.I just did it.
But than when i saw some bleach fails on youtube.I thought i could fail aswell like them.And now here I m failing every time.Bcoz im scared.I think we should never be scared.Its hair.It will grow out or we can cut it off.
tolya A don’t be scared 😊
Why failing?
@@mywavesofgrain bcoz all the time i think what if my hair breakes off,what if i let it to much the process,what if i need to cut it teally short. And all the unnesesary thoughts. Then i let it not enough sit on my hair or it comes patchy out. So better if i didnt watch all the videos bcoz i would be more comfident now and maube i would react in the right time.
I just did a platinum card technique on my own head, this video was so helpful for future applications!
Seriously!!! 😱 I was up at 4 am looking up your videos on how to balayage at home! lol
Your hair looks stunning here.
Dark natural root
Bright throughout, not too ashy. Mostly bright and glossy
You are amazing! How you can do the back of your head is beyond me! Absolutely lovely!!
Oh my gosh. Watching you do the back of your hair just by the 'feel' of painting it...showed what a MASTER you are. I need to come to San Fran . to see you.:)
I’m soooo glad you filmed this video. Now I know I CAN’T do this at home. Lol 🙏🏼
You're the best! 🥰 Thanks to your tutorials my hair is blonde & healthy & looking like it was done by a pro! 😉
love all the videos ,makes it seem so easy but the public does not have access to redken shades eq hair colors, the only hair supply there is ,is SALLY which doesnt carry them
After spending $300+ for multiple botched highlights/balayages, this video is a god-send. I have been doing my own platinum blonde for years but want to transition to something more dimensional.
Watching this now to retouch my hair. Here’s to quarantine highlights lol
I'd like to see Brad Mondo react to this video!
Morgan Nichols brad mondo isn’t that great
Some of the diagonal partings at her part line make me very very nervous. Legit 🐅 🐯
Why? She's a cosmetologist..
I just want to thank you for all your help, you look gorgeous being pregnant as well. you an Adam remind me of me and my bf. you two are funny, you can tell you guys have been together in pandemic. lol I will try me best to follow this video and I will let you know how my hair turns out. just waiting for the rest of my product to get here.
To #ElleBangs, this video is amazing!!! I ordered all of these products a couple of months ago and have been scared to try this... but, I literally just got done doing this and my hair turned out so perfect! It’s not as light as yours, but that is because I wanted to keep it a bit more natural. I would say if someone has never done anything with their hair, go watch pros do it first in person. I used to bleach all of my hair for years but was not brave enough to try hightlights because it takes skill. But, ElleBangs, you are an awesome teacher and again, thank you so much!!! I love my hair! 💋
Where did you buy the redkin products from?
I really want to learn how to do this myself!! Ive spent $300 this year getting my hair done twice..both times ive showed the hairdresser exactly what I want and my hair somehow never looks like the pics😑. This time specifically said i want my hair brighter/blonder and its actually darker...
It's not very hard to do, just make sure you do a strand test to see how your hair will lift using whichever products you choose :) and if you're doing the whole head and you're slower, do one half, process, wash etc and then do the other one. Do not rush or over process
I'm still trying to finish the very first bottle of Olaplex (got it cause your recommended it and what a life saver for the daring and DIY girl, like myself). The Redken kit is easier to use. I only used it once (because I had to try it). Can't wait to finish it so I can see how the Redken bonder works over time.
Love your videos Sylvia! and congratulations on your new baby girl!
Can't wait to watch this! I used your babylights tutorial and mixed it with what I've learned through other stylists on TH-cam and Instagram videos (and filmed a video that I still haven't posted) and it went really well! Maybe I'll try this next! :)
That's what I want a long time. It is absolutelly perfect. I try it tomorrow. Thank You! ♥️
I LOVE THIS VIDEO, I really would like to try this but now I have two questions 1st. Are those products available to non licensed? And what to do to keep the results from becoming brassy orange tones?
They aren’t. Only licensed professionals can buy them.
They are available at Amazon no license needed. I really love how she works with the products. I'm a cosmetologist but my hair is waist long and do the bleach by sections front, sides and back, you need to just get the hang of your own hair, as everyone's hair is different to process. Mine is very delicate with bleach and if I would do it all in one sitting it would be a big mess(will burn) I do, do the toner all at once. Hope this helps you😘
@@mariaelenacano8974 thanks I will look to buy them
@@JamiesLife I don't mean to sound harsh...I would NOT recommend buying professional products from Walmart. I would only buy, if you are not a licensed cosmetologist, from a salon. You are not guaranteed a fresh product from Walmart or any store other than a salon. Im just saying and again not trying to sound harsh. They can be expired products.
If you've previously had highlights which have grown out and therefore don't have much blonde at the front as you already had, would you recommend sectioning a centre section in the middle of your head (as you would if you had a half head of highlights) and doing a few foils at the front rather than starting from the sides and just baby lights on top?
Have watched you for a long time, I'm a stylist and also do my own hair. Thank you for sharing, but the hardest thing for me is teasing the hair and getting the teasing out.
My daughter and I tried to do this on a couple of sample pieces of her hair (we cut her hair so we could try it first). We followed your instruction from the video but the pieces of hair have a greenish tone to them after we toned the hair. Any suggestions? Should we use a different toner? Should we do something to correct the green after toning? Since we haven’t done this on her actual hair, we can try something else on the cut pieces if you can help us. THANKS! We love your videos!!
I honestly am scared to go to the hair stylist. I’ve had so many horrendous things done to my hair by professional stylists at both highly recommended salons and cheap places that I’m just scared of another bad haircut or color. I cut my own hair now and I’m thinking about doing color myself now too. I don’t want to mess it up but I don’t know if it’ll be better or worse than what they’d do at a salon
Hola me encanta tu trabajo. Una pregunta si no podemos usar los mismos productos que tú utilizás cual me podrías recomendar.
Soy estudiante de peluquería.
Xfa necesito tu consejo. Una saludo Didi
Wow your hair looks beautiful. I went to the wrong salon i guess and got my hair ruined and now I feel like I need to shave my head. Its so brittle and broken off and terribly frizzy looking. Not sure what I could do to save it. How could I get you to do my hair??
Looks beautiful! Quick question, Does all the teasing break the hair? I was uncomfortable with my stylist who teased each piece so much! And honest,y the color was not bright enough and I barely noticed a difference in color change
Great instructional video! I have a question about the root process. Did you have 2 mixing bowls for two different products?One for the 07N and 09NA ? mixed together with processing solution? Thanks!
So amazing & beautiful. You make it look so easy. Is the root tap just a touch up of your base color to smooth any harsh light strands?
Hey Catherine. A root tap or root smudge just gives it a more beautiful natural blend instead of the harsh blonde streaks that can make you look skunky..i hope that helps
How do you maintain blonde high lights. Be all my life I would to dye my hair light brown and I would pull my hair through the cap, put the bleach on the hair on cap. Leave it in an hour then rinsed it. I always used revlon color silk in light brown and purchased the revlon high lighting kit. But every 3to 4 month I would repeat the process. Now at 58, I have gotten really exhausted to continue doing it. So I did it a year ago all over my hair the high lights the following month the grays were out. So I went to a salon. The lady just did my top of my hair by she said I had done my high lights like a professional. I worked at Sally Beauty Supplies for almost 8 years. And I never used their products by I was use to using what I always used. I am still doing my high lights. I love to do it. Only that I am getting older. It’s harder. Enjoyed your video. Take care.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love your videos. You are saving my life with these.
This is awesome . Can you tell me what did you use ? I do t understand what toner number you used . Thanks
this is a great way to get yourself involved in a serious color correction
Just amazing! You make it look so easy doing it on yourself 🤣
Beautiful work! So original from you to do your own hair, and the blonde suits you so perfectly! 🤩👌🔥
WOW! this is amazing! I love your hair. You made it look so easy and flawless! Id never attempt this at home but thank you for showing us how to do this!!
I have highlighted my hair for years using the "cap". Have wanted to balayage myself and found your video extremely helpful. Regarding the root application: did you have 2 bowls of solution for that process? I couldn't tell from the angle. Thanks!
????? Where do you suggest we (non-professionals) buy the Redken products you have listed above????
SalonCentric is a professionals-only store. Looking online, there is only eBay (and that's not guaranteed) and some at Walmart, but they are "out of stock."
Where do we buy the Redken products, or what is a good alternative hair color brand (please provide shade-codes info) that is available to be purchased by non-professionals at a local beauty store?
Much appreciated!
This would take me forever to finish but the results are well worth it 🤩
Wow! You are really good! I have watched so many tutorials on easier ways to do my own hair. By far, your's was so much more helpful. I've always done my own hair ( I did go to cosmetology school) and I'm a fellow Blondie. Thank you for simplifying this difficult task.
At second step I couldn’t see if you mixed processing solution with 07 and 09 or did you use separately couldn’t catch it 😢 help plzzzz
Goodness this is a treasure trove of a video for diy. Going to try this!! Thank you so much
How come this one seems way more simple than the “bleaching your hair at home (safely) vid? And why do you use diff products? 😭 I wanna do it at home but now I’m confused on what to use!! Help please! Xo
I usually never comment but I have to for this one. A week ago I went to the salon and they completely botched my balayage… I went in again (because I complained) for a complimentary re-do and it still looked so bad! So much banding and ORANGE at the roots, yuck! I came across this video and bought everything you mentioned. Honestly, after the bleaching i was a bit horrified… still some orange bits.. but I persisted with the Shades EQ and it came out SO well in the end I’m so happy with it. You are amazing. Thank you for saving my hair and saving me ££!! 🤍🤍
No se inglés alguien me puede ayudar a saber que tener se pone en el cabello que decoloro ayuda porfavor
This is reaaaally beautiful color. And the video is very helpful. But i have a question I can’t find the 30vol developer. What if i use 20 vol what will be the difference? And I can’t find the 010N gloss
Gorgeous! And you make it look so easy lol! Quick question...Can you apply permanent color in the shades you mentioned, like I usually use 10A and 9N for all over color, but I really love the way yours look with just the toner. I tone my hair after bleaching and coloring, but I just wanted to know if it is safe to use color after highlighting, or do I need to just be toning? Ahh, being a blonde is so frustrating some times, but it's totally worth it in the end! Thx for sharing! Your hair is my dream color, cut, and style! xoxoJJ
Love this video! I’m going to try it at home but for the all over toner I want that ash blonde. What toner do you recommend?
Hey, I live in Canada and cannot find redken flashlift with bonder anywhere. I can’t even find it for purchase online. Is there a dupe or a secondary suggestion of something I can use in its place??
Tried this on my mom and it turned out perfect! Thank you!
Do you have the list of the products she used?
@@caroltyler2001 it’s in the description of the video. Check with your local salon too :)
But what about the underneath? That’s my biggest struggle. Do you just have someone from the salon do it?
What other bleach would you recommend ?? During this time its hard to get my hands on redkin

Can you comment a link to the products - hair dyes please? X
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have a darker base like yours and did the baby lights and root tap myself and it turned out really good for my first try! I’ve gotten several compliments. I’m really enjoying learning to do my hair myself. One question I have is, you showed 2 bowls when applying the root tap, did you mix the 2 colors separately? I used the formula in your baby light video but I’m curious about mixing the ones you showed here. Thanks again!
Hi, thoughts on highlighting COMBS. Seem like it would make it easier especially for back of head. Thoughts?
I want to know alternatives for Redken products because in Argentina we can not find them :(
I love your videos. The only question I have is that I have used shades eq for years. I have fine hair and it does not stick to my roots/regrowth/healthy hair at all. I have to put a toner perm on them to soften the line. Unfortunately.
Where is the best place to order the shadesEQ? I don’t think individuals not associated with a salon can get it most places
Wow looks super awesome, I bet it must be hard to do your own hair.
Hi Elle,can I still use this toner after one month of doing my hair because I didn't like the color I have it's too yellow. Thanks so much for this awesome video.
I’d recommend doing the front last if you don’t work fast, they’re the most fragile.
OMG, this is so hard! I def won't to it at home. Btw, I actually love a tad darker colour on you especially on the front. This blonde seems like too much.
You make it look so easy, Sylvia. However, I would never try this myself. I'm afraid that I would screw it up! Lol. How do you do the back?? That would be my problem. Lol. That's why I have had my highlights done by a professional. They know what they are doing. I don't. Lol. ❤
I love your videos and I’m learning so much on how to do my hair. Thank you so much 😊 for your tips and everything you do .
What color do you use for your base color .
Oh my gosh thank you so much for making this video! I am a licensed hairdresser of over 10 years and I am super picky about my hair. I have tried to have others get me to the blonde that I want and nobody has able to do that for me. I’m going to Cosmoprof tomorrow and purchasing theLeitner and toner that was recommended. And will be doing my own hair for now on
So do you wash out the root tap and then apply the last toner or apply root tap and other toner In the same setting?
I did this with the same colors but with Age Beautiful high lift bleach and 20 vol (I already had on hand). I love it!!!! Turned out awesome. I had a small issue with the back not getting enough time but with toner it looked great. I’ve never used foils and wound up with a more noticeable line at roots but I’m the only one who sees it. Need help next time to cover grays. My hair is slightly darker than yours maybe? I do have many more grays. I’m 52. How can I get those covered?
There is a great video on a girl that shows how to do greys, she weaves in a ton of baby lights. Like very thin can see through the hair foils. Its blended so well. Looked good.
Another video said some ppl have darker greys on one side and not the other. In that instance she does babylights on the lighter side and heavier foils on the dark ones.
THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT WE ALL WERE LOKING FOR! THANKKK YOUU SO MUCH! ♥️
😂 This is too good! I was watching your old ones and about to do it.
IKR! I always rewatch her videos before I do my hair! Like players watching game tapes before the big game lol! Never hurts to refresh!
Hi Sylvia, really great tutorial but just wondering how you do the back and underneath sections of hair? do you do these in the same method but with a different level of developer?
I cant imagine using all these products. The only time I ever colored my own hair hair I used 3% hydrogen peroxide and my hair looked good and stayed soft
Love the video! The results are stunning!! 💛 how long do you process the root tap toner for?💖💛💛✨☀️
Usually redken shades process time is 20 minutes
Came across a salon that has a monthly subscription. There are 40 videos there and they add new ones regularly. Online education. Shows foil, how to do it. San Diego salon.
