 Don't get spoken to, people only see you when you up, then they notice you Trying to be a legend, Cray lines is quotable Only the real shall last and I only know a few People when they feelin's always actin' emotional Ain't about to check then it ain't negotiable Got to show respect to the people that's postin' Tune to be on posters, post it up like the older dudes Now we ain't too late for a while, how we supposed to do Peep the shade on the tomlines, this tom postin' Hey oh, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good day Good whatever time it is, wherever you are My name's Brian Hare, I'm here on behalf of Freestyle on Education We're doing our, it's Thursday today, so it's our Thursday live class I'm here with Matt Beck, as always running things, making me look good Yep, make it That's it, and uh Everything to do with your looks What's that? Everything to do with your looks Well, I mean, I don't understand You make this look good Yes I, I, I provide the recipe and, and you provide the meal Perfect Yeah, little bit of housekeeping for we get going We got the chat going live So if you are here watching, please jump in I like lots of questions I like knowing where you are I like seeing all of it Cause for me, it just tickles me Knowing that there's people from all over Watching things in more than just my time zones We have every state in here That's pretty cool I don't know, pick a state Do we have anyone? Well, no, yeah, that's, that's a lot of states Yeah Sweet I can't even like think of one Cause there's just too many Ah, so welcome Glad you're here Today, is there anything you want to go over before I jump in? No, I think we're, we'll go over some stuff later But I think we're good Yeah We'll fill dead air if ever there is any Yes Uh, cause that's what I'm known for So today, I wanted to go over something that Where in other classes I get a lot of Like minor requests for And I kind of always forget to go and Do a class on it So here we are Today we got balayage on curls It's something I do a lot And apparently it's something that everyone does a lot Because a lot of people want to know Some tips, tricks, hints, all that stuff So that's what I'm here for We've got this absolutely gorgeous mannequin You're welcome Here she is We're giving a little round about We're not going anything crazy today Honestly, today is not even necessarily a full-on technique It's just going over some tips and tricks And things that I have seen Work well in the salon Things that have worked well for me Things that I just know Can maybe help you out a little bit If you're having some struggles or some challenges So if anything is particularly In your craw Just throw it up in the chat And we'll go over it And answer any questions to the best of our abilities So there we go All right, so this mannequin I believe this mannequin was permed Is why her curls look so good Because I know some of these mannequins You can get a really nice diffuse out of But she kind of smelled like perm So I have a sneaking suspicion That that's why these curls look so amazing So we probably have Danielle to thank for that Because I know I didn't do it So we'll put the lasagna away for a minute And go over just sort of what to expect from today This mannequin, she is not permed She is a labor of love Sitting there with a couple of different curling irons Because I tried diffusing her and I was like No, no one's going to learn anything Because they're just going to be focused on How terrible she looks So it'll help Because the defined curls will actually help When I go and get in some work done So I think the reason that there is a necessity For this class is anyone who's worked with hair That has lots of curls If you've ever tried to do highlights Be they foils, hand-painted, whatever And you go to put them on curls And you feel like you've put all this work in And it's going to look great Nice big pop of color at the end of it And then you do everything And you process and you tone And you wash and you cut and you come out And then when you dry it You feel like your highlights disappear It happens That's what curls do They like to hide all your hard work Because you got to understand The fabric that you're working on Is not like when you've got straight hair Or when the hair falls You're just going to see what's there Now you're working with a texture That's going to do all kinds of fun twists And turns and curves and curls and flips and dips So anything that's just laying on the outside Is then going to get manipulated Inside that texture of the hair So keeping that in mind You're going to want to approach working with curls Just a little bit different It's hair just like anything else It's just needs a little bit of a different I don't know approach Oh if you want to approach curls a little bit So first and foremost I like to work with their hair In a curly state Like when I'm doing a root retouch Or anything like that I will grow in and actually brush out the curls Because it just makes it easier to get through everything When you're just doing a root retouch Because you don't want any little skips or anything Where a curl might have been too clumped at the root But when I'm doing anything hand-painted like this I like to actually see the curls where they lay Anyone that works with curls knows That they're not always going to sit in the exact same spot But the curls they come in with That is obviously some way that they are going to land So it's a pretty safe bet To just go ahead and work with the curls that they've got If you have an opportunity to talk to your guests Before they come in I like it when their hair is not done Because I don't feel like I want them spending all this time doing their hair Before they come in But it'd be nice if it wasn't like Blown out straight Or in a tight ponytail Or with hat hair or anything like that If you can just let them know ahead of time That if their hair is worn out And with its curl intact Then you can really get in there and sort of customize it A little bit more for whatever their texture is That being said You're going to want to start also knowing with what their haircut Is going to look like The shape, how it's going to be worn So if they come in and it's really really long And they're going to want to go really really short Then it's going You're going to be painting different spots So you might want to do some pre-cutting If you're going to be wildly changing the shape Otherwise we'll just jump right in Are there any questions before we get going? I just feel like a whole bunch of stuff happening in the chat So the chat is Okay wait So I did want to give a shout out to Austin Who is watching from school Sweet Pretty cool And then Waiting for everyone to finish their test That was my classmate when I was in beauty school She did everything so quickly And I hated her Because it took me forever to get anything done So good for you Austin I don't hate you Good for you Oh look at that Maggie Well here you go Here we are Yeah Aim to please Yup Um I also Real quick If I can get this to pop up on this screen Image So we just did a total revamp of the app Actually been working on it for quite a while To give it a new look And I want to show you guys Kind of what that looks like Um So totally revamped the whole thing So when you download it If you don't have the new version of the app I was gonna say mine must not be updated I was just done it this morning And it did not look like that So it looks totally different I gotta update my phone Yeah It's a totally new design You know we worked on functionality When we first launched the app And then But I didn't really love the design of it So I worked with a designer and We kind of revamped it So that just launched So if you haven't downloaded the new version Go download I think it's version 2.1 or something Like that So Sweet That and then the only other thing is We do have a holiday sale going on On the online store until December 24th If you want to take 15% off your order On shopfse.com Just go type in holiday 21 I like that you cut that off on Christmas Eve Yeah After that Done Yeah Christmas joy lasts up until Christmas Eve Done Then the ship has sailed Then you're spending Christmas money Yeah, then you know nobody's buying anything after that Love it So today I'm working with My usual My pole Mitchell sunlights I've noticed one thing that does help with it When you're mixing your balayage for working with curls I like mine a little bit on the stiff side Because if you've got a really The texture of the fabric that you're working on If it's a little bit more coarse Or the curls really strong Then if you've got If your lightener is too weak Too soft Then the curl might kick back in After you've applied the lightener And then it'll start pushing lightener on hair That you didn't mean for it to touch And then that's when you start to get the weird little spots And stuff that you're not looking for So I like it a little bit stiffer Great word, it's just fun to say stiffer But not so much that it's going to also make a mess And not get as much lift Like it still has some Some pliability to it As you can see that that tasted good Because it looks like it would taste good I thought I was going to bite it, honestly Like it looks that good It's clay lightener Yes, it's a clay base lightener Made for hand painting So that it won't swell So that you get that nice little shell on it As it's processing To keep it from Infecting hair around it And blonding places you don't want it So anytime you're working with curls Whether it's Well let's put it this way Anytime you need to section with curls Whether it's trying to find a part on somebody Or in this case Doing what we're going to be doing And applying highlights I don't like to go in Like we would typically do with straight hair And use your clip or a comb or whatever And just This is where this line is going to be Because it can break curls up And it's not what we're looking to do here today Today I want to highlight these curls as they are So while I might be looking at sectioning Even like your typical sectioning Front to back The four quadrants whatever Rather than carving that hard line I'm actually going to come in And grab these curls from the end And move them as I need them So that you're moving the whole curl And not breaking anything up So it's really It's different if you haven't done it Just sort of getting your mind wrapped around Not having super clean lines It drives people like Matt nuts This is the world I live in Like clean lines Clean sections Nah you just grab some hair and move it Yeah Right Matt If you listen closely You can probably hear him grinding his teeth Over the microphone I do think that color is different Not like a little more organic Oh you don't cut like this I don't either Alright so I'm just coming around Because I again I'm not looking to make this person Like a super blonde That's a different class That's a whole different thing I'm just looking to add some highlights To this hair So I'm coming in I'm leaving out a skirt Around this whole bottom hairline That's about One to two curls deep That will vary depending on how their texture is But for this what we're looking at This makes sense to me If I I'm just looking to highlight this hair I'm going to leave about this much out All the way around Work to not break up the curls I'm being gentle as we move them We're just going to nice clip that away I'll just give you a little This is what I'm talking about Like I just left I left her Pretty much just one curl deep In the back here It's a little bit deeper But that's okay Because that's where you should highlight A little bit less anyway Because you want it a little bit darker back there And then we got it all the way around Just one curl deep I like that description Yeah Yeah Look at that My job is done I impressed Matt All right so I'm going to load up my paddle Get ready to work As you see we got This is a great texture So it's nice It's thicker So it's sitting nice and stiff Where I put it But it's still malleable When you work a brush through it So it's going to be perfect Like this When it comes time to highlight this curl Look at it Look at what you're working on See okay Let's pretend that this is how that curl Is going to sit every single time Where do you want that highlight to be Because if this is how they came in There's a good chance that their curl Is going to sit like that sometimes Because it's sitting that way today Curls have muscle memory Wow we've hit 100 messages already on chat Ah look at that It's killing it guys Everyone's just chatting Good job Alrighty So I am going to give yourself a nice Taught Tension there So that when you're working on it It's not bouncing back too much Because if you hold it way out here Or if you're not holding it firm enough When you go to apply that highlight It's going to bounce And you're just It's not going to give you a good Consistency as far as applying the highlight So I'm going to give myself Choke up on that bat Give it a little bit A nice tension Good elevation And then we're just going to apply like so I when working with curls What keeps it organic and fun and neat I'm going to be applying heavily to just one side Sometimes when you see I'll do Like if I'm going for a heavier highlight I'll do it real hard And then I'll saturate it all the way through And we'll break the highlight apart To make sure that it gets all the way through But this is something that's going to Like I said it's going to twist It's going to spin It's going to fold into itself So there's no need to really go hard It's going to take one good strong Applicated like this And turn it Thing a little bit softer So you can go in and apply a nice Thick frosting like a cupcake And then I'm just going to come down through the end Grab it and then just make sure that The highlight goes to the end Not saturating all the way through And we're just going to let her live there It's that simple Right And then be mindful We left that one curl deep But not so that you could grab every single curl Because if you grab every single curl You're really going to be changing The overall appearance of this person's color So just be mindful of that If you're looking to do that Well, cool, then I just showed you how to do that If you're not, then think about that You know, I've got a good strong highlight there I'm going to have that around the face That's going to be nice So let's maybe come back a couple of curls And find one that's going to live somewhere else With this haircut She's got a little bit of that bob kind of shag Sort of, well, it's not that shaggy It was a little bit more bob-ish But the curls are going to lift it up And show a lot of the texture within that haircut itself So I probably am going to want to throw a highlight Behind that ear To give a little bit of that lightness Framing the neck So, same thing Find my curl Best way to figure out how to pick up a curl That you're looking to work with Start at the end Pick it up from the end And then figure out where the curl is that you're working on Give yourself the elevation When you're working with curls and looking What I like about curls is you automatically Get a lived-in effect Just because that's what curls look like You know, they're not A super strong structured texture, usually So it's cool because when you're doing your highlights You can go and some of them You can drive it all the way up to that scalp To give it a longer highlight When I'm coming back here Like you noticed at that last one I didn't go all the way to the root Because I wanted a little bit more of that lived-in Look that's already built in because of the curl So by adding more of that with the application You get like a super lived-in look Keeping it semi... What's symmetrical? I'm going to come around Pick a curl from about the same spot on the other side Apply a similar highlight Again, sisters not twins So don't freak if like on this side It's a little bit bigger of a curl Than it was on the other side That's okay, it's curls It's going to look good anyway The key to this is just making sure that you do enough So that when it looks good anyway It looks really good You don't want to lose your highlights That'll be right next to a highlight So we're just going to let her sit out She's just going to hang You're done work for the day, dear Now this section, this curl is a little big If I were to highlight this whole thing And you actually look at where this curl lives It takes up a large portion of the side of this mannequin's head So that might be a little too much to do all at once So I'm going to break that curl up So that it's more of a highlight And less of like a full color shift You know what, I'll just Clip this out of the way Cool Do you want me to switch sides? Or is this going to work for just this one highlight? No, I think you're good, yeah Yeah, right, you know what's going on Yeah, you're fine I'm not reinventing the wheel We're just applying a highlight Yep You got this So again, nice thick consistency Make sure, you know, I describe a lot of the time How much product to put on Depending on how much highlight When I'm working with curls I do go ahead and give them that nice thick application Where you can't see the hair through it Because I want to get a good amount of lift Since you're doing fewer highlights Like when you go in and you're highlighting straight hair You know, you're doing tons and tons everywhere But with these curls Because of how it's sitting We're not doing quite as many So I want them to be a little bit more on the bold Make them pop That tracks Megan, that's very nice Oh, was it? What is it? Oh, thanks You're so detailed Wow, that's what I'm known for All right, so a regular person in the salon I would probably put my Bali wrap around that To let it sit and keep incubated But it's the holidays And we're blasting through that stuff So I'm saving it for the people in the chair I'm getting a lot of Christmas highlights Yeah A lot of Hanukkah lights Taking care of my folks All right, so then the next step I'm going to come in similar Because we're working with the shape of the haircut This is not the section you're going to take every single time Like I said, this is the sectioning for this haircut If it's a different shape or it goes a different way Then you would mirror that But coming in I'm now getting myself another row of curls All the way around See, and just the way it lies Just watch Watch where it's coming from Because like if you look This is the most jagged sectioning that you could imagine But it's what works Because it's how these curls are living their lives It's the same way that we cut curly hair, too Because you've got to kind of let the curl dictate the sectioning Curly hair is not straight So it's obviously needs to be kind of treated You've got to play to your audience Yeah This is our audience Yeah I love curly hair One of my favorite things in the salon is teaching people that they have curly hair When they didn't know it I had another client this week who was going Oh, you just You made my hair curly last time And it's just so crazy, I didn't even know I had it Well, here you go Now you do Now we learn how to make it look good Yeah Give me that attention Enish is asking why curly hair is always frizzy It's not always frizzy It frizzes just Hairs that have lost their way From the curl Straight hair just lays there Curly hair wants to do all kinds of fun stuff So if there's hair that's doing all kinds of fun stuff It just needs to be It just needs to find a home Yeah So I'll comb it down Yeah, it's it belongs in a curl Somewhere So you got to figure out whether it's technique or whether it's product or something You got to figure out why that Hair isn't part of a curl and do what it takes to get it to be a part of the curl It's like Most of the time it's like anything It's effort of just end knowledge So like understanding Like what Brian's saying Understanding that part And then just putting a little extra effort into taking care of your curls Yeah Totes All right Same thing Grabbing a curl from back here But that's actually It's a good question to bring up because that Is hand in hand with people that say all the time Like oh well I don't have curly hair I have wavy hair Or mine's not a nice curl It's like an ugly curl Or it's a lazy curl It's just It hasn't gone to completion yet Like a wave is usually just a curl that's been brushed out And looks like a wave Or an ugly curl is just a curl that hasn't been Given you know Quite as much love as it needs To get that springiness You know a lot of people And it's not people's fault They just haven't been shown yet You know it's amazing how many people with curly hair Are well into their life And have never been shown what to do with it So you know oh well I get out of the shower And I put some gel in it And I get this ugly curl Well I wouldn't do any of the things that you just said With your curly hair So that's when it's fun to show them Know what you should do when you get out of the shower This is how you should apply product This is how you should dry it And that's how you'll start to get the volume That's how you'll start to let your curl do its thing Because it's really impressive If you've got someone who doesn't like their curls Get them in the chair And talk them into letting you diffuse it And they'll go nuts And then they'll be with you forever Because you just showed them How beautiful their hair is naturally Good point Leigh Ann What's that? Go with the natural fall there For the technique Oh totally yeah Rose is saying I would like to see you do curly hair He did a class on styling curly hair We have tons of curly hair classes There's a whole curly hair section on the app So if you guys get a chance go download the app Go to freesaloneducation.com And it'll send you to the app store Click whatever phone you have And then it'll take you to where you download it But couldn't have made it easier Tons of curly hair classes on the app Including this one Buddha thunk All right Coming through So you'll notice Like we had like I was saying The curls, little random hairs Reaching out and grabbing highlight as I'm working Because we're working on a different texture With different kinds of sectioning Good thing about balayage I just had a little bit right there You just use your little finger Just pinch it, wipe it And it's gone It's not going to lift It's not going to do anything And the highlight stays intact You're good to go Drop it That's how we do it That's how we work So once you get up to This What this section would be Like the stuff that's going to lay on the outside The stuff that you're going to see the most This is when attacking your curl From how you see it is most important So these curls around the face This is not This was from another class Don't look at that But these curls like She's got like a nice little fringe going So I want to make sure that Especially around the face Those highlights pop From what you're looking at So you're going to want to take these curls And really Do what you have to do to manipulate yourself So that you're hitting that forward facing Heart of the hair So what I mean by that is This cute little curl We're looking at that Okay, so I see Yeah, I see this looks If I want to hit this part of that curl So that whatever happens down here I know that this is going to be Forward facing highlight So I'm going to take it I'm not going to come back Like you would with some hair You know, it might get a little weird You might want to put a little Bolly wrap underneath So that you're not getting anything on the face But unlike a lot of the other times I'm actually going to come forward With this highlight Not back So I'm just going to come right down Right in our eyes Get that nice Strong highlight And what's cool If you have a hard time Getting that like soft diffuse Up at the root You don't have to worry about that with curls You can go a little bit stronger A little harder in there Because the curl itself will diffuse for you So have at it with your heavy hands Curls will help Make your work look even better Than you meant to It's FSE now everybody The app Yeah There's another image Look at Brian on the front there Good thing I don't have a Hang up about my forehead I was just having a conversation about foreheads The other night is You were Why I'm thinking about that Yeah, because I have a huge forehead And now that I'm almost 40 I think about it all the time And I'm like, am I going bald? And then I just look at pictures of me When I was 20 And it's like, no, I've just always had a giant forehead It's like getting close to your 40s right now Because we're about the same age, right? I'm like feeling it more than I've ever Oh, yeah And not like, not in I understand if I took more care of my body I would like feel Oh, no, no, no, there's just things that happen I just mean like mentally, yeah Like, well, but not even just mentally I like all of the sudden In the last couple of weeks And someone who when I get out of bed I have to do it slowly Because like It takes everything Like a couple of seconds to realize that I needed to To move Yeah I was like, well, that's a new development Yeah, for like three days last week I got out of bed and like I couldn't walk on my feet Mine is, mine's my hips I feel like a giant dog with dysplasia I'm like, hold on, hold on Let's get the Tin Man oil out So we can get out of the bedroom And give me like 30 minutes and I'm good But, but yeah Let's just say If Matt and I wake up in the middle of the night Because there's a house fire This show's done We're not making it out Yeah, done Oh, man At least We look good That's what filters are for And we still got a year, right? Well, I have six months Oh, are you that? Oh, right Go ahead, finish that sentence Well, no, because I'll be 39 I'll be 40 in April Okay So we're a year apart Yeah Okay, I thought I thought we were within the same Like you just turned 40 and then I turned 40 Oh, no, I blazed the path For you to walk casually Appreciate that All right It's my goal to make sure I'm the youngest one here I mean, it's smart You're the youngest one here And Christina, make sure she's not the oldest Yeah, exactly You guys are smart like that Brilliant business people So look at where these curls are lying What I like about this is you Ah, this is what I love about Balayage You know what this is gonna look like Now Like you can see where those highlights are gonna be You can see if there's anywhere that you need to fill a gap Like, ugh It's not necessarily brick laying But it's sort of that idea of just Like decorating a Christmas tree And you're putting stuff up You wanna make sure that there's no area Where there's just nothing And with Balayage, you can look at it And make sure that you're dealing with No areas of nothing Yes, it's a curl Yes, it's gonna flip around But you get what I'm saying Just go with it, don't argue with me This is a one-way medium So, Megan, it's a pivot point mannequin But, and we did sell them on our website a long time ago But the problem with pivot point is mannequins are super expensive Even the purchase them as a distributor And then with shipping on top of it, it literally It was costing us like $10 every time we sold one So it just didn't make sense But if you go to pivot point, I think it's pivot Pivot dash point, I think, dot com Or just Google pivot point You'll see all their mannequins They're not cheap But they are, in my opinion, the best They really are Because I gotta tell you, I remember in beauty school Those were, I don't know what, who made them They were supposed to be good mannequins And you'd still, every now and then, you'd get one That whatever they did chemically when they treated it Like, you couldn't get through the knots No matter what you did, it was just a whole dreadlock And it was a nightmare Or you'd go to color it and no matter what you used Like it wouldn't lift, it wouldn't bust It was a nightmare I love working on these mannequins And any of the colored ones Like the blonde ones all color it darker And then it's perfect for doing a blonde highlight Like these browns, they lift nice And I promote them like crazy And I have for seven years And they barely give me a discount for them So they're not, there's no, like, it's expensive to make them Because they're all, first off, they do it in the process That makes sure that the people that are actually doing Because I think they're made in China But there's different levels of production in China Like some places are terrible And they treat human beings like terrible And then there's other places that have quality control And all that And to a point, I think it's SA5000 or something like that Is the certification to make sure that, you know It's they're being made in a good factory And they're all put in Every single hair is put in by hand I didn't know that Yeah I want to know if it comes from dead people I don't know that Like I want to know, but I don't want to know Yeah Like, where does it come from? It's a lot of hair It is There is no shortage of mannequins There's a whole global supply chain shortage Not mannequins No, there's a shortage of mannequins That's actually because I reached out to them I was like, guys, I really help you out a lot Can you please send me some free mannequins Because I don't want to pay $4,000 every time I order mannequins And they said we would love to But there's a huge shortage right now and we can't So maybe it's not dead people Because there's no shortage of those We're in a global pandemic Don't listen to him Oh, are you not? No I know He's got a beauty school and ours were okay But they would not lighten Yeah, I've had those before Yeah The only thing that I've ever discovered you can't do on mannequins And maybe I just never have had the right one But I'm pretty sure you can't do it I've never been able to get a high left to work on a mannequin Like Lighteners fine But like, oh, this high lift is going to go so many levels On a mannequin Yeah And this mannequin I believe is the Erica and it's Erica has brown hair and Not anymore Oh, yeah She's good because you lighten her and it's a pretty like Too realistic lift, I would say Yeah, I'll give you that That yellowy orange kind of lifts unless you really push it So, you know, it's it's close It's as close as you're gonna get I think to like Agreed Trying to light Like real life Real scenario kind of stuff All right So we were just chatting and having fun I love this That's why I like this forum It's a good time So we went through and just gave some nice highlights where they needed to be Making sure that there was no areas where there was just too Too much gap So the lightener that I use For this application today is Paul Mitchell's Skylights Because it's a great consistency It's super easy to work with A great Great lift It says seven levels Sure I don't know how to count so I don't know what that's about But it's super easy to work with Super great consistency and a great lift So it's my go-to in the salon And I'm a big fan Does the hair Will you can we do that last one? Yep Uh yes Normally in a salon I would have something in between the sections Because whatever touches bleach is getting lightened So the reason that I Champion this lightener Is because it's going to work really well Whatever consistency you choose to put it to So if you have someone where you like You think that using a wetter consistency will work better Cool Uh today I used just a slightly drier consistency Because the curls are gonna I can make it look like my body Because I can I wanted to make sure that as the curl curls The lightener is still gonna stay where I put it Not travel So that's why I went with a little bit drier consistency So using uh whatever you're preferred In between something is Some people like mesh Foil, cotton I like bolly wrap from Sunlight's Just because of a lot of reasons Um I also it's funny I just got a couple of tattoos on my ankle the other day And I had to put pants on because it's cold outside And I didn't want the pants touching the fresh tattoo And I know that when you leave a tattoo parlor They'll use like saran to cover it And I was like wait Let me use bolly wrap Because that doesn't have the sticky chemical on it That saran And so I'm getting less chemicals on my To it was fantastic So I just sat there and did around And I'd say have some at home is great So there's another use for it There you go You're welcome All right So you process that she's great You do your cut you do your everything While we're just on the subject of curls And talking about curls We do have another class where I go way more into it But it did come up So I just want to show like Real quick how I approached diffusing my curly headed guests So that they uh You know just get the So they get to see how nice their curls can be Plus actually I think the last time I did a diffuse Was when we got that nasty comment that accidentally slipped through So now if you ever want to like splice together and just a just a diffuse Two minute video without smack talking We'll have that Yeah I also just discovered that this fits this way And I've never done this before That's weird From now on that's how we process mannequins Where is that question What do you got So does clay lightener lift about the scene? Um clay lightener there's Trying to think there's a class that I have Where it's a balayage maybe like a balayage 101 class Where I go into What to expect with your saturation Because the answer to that question is it depends on the saturation um And you know it's It's going to lift differently because it's not being incubated in oil It's not it's not a very Yes or no answer to that But the shortest version that I can give you is you It is possible there is a scenario where you can get Balayage to lift in a similar timeframe as a foil But you got to do everything right it might involve a thicker saturation And maybe putting under some kind of heating source like the sun um Or a hooded dryer whatever Um It is possible. It's not a definite I think it's probably the best answer Sweet this might be my favorite comment ever because I'm not a hairdresser I just love watching your videos help me relax and escape from the ugly world. Uh-huh because the world is not ugly heavy Ugly is in the uh Algorithm fortunately Yeah, if it bleeds it leads. Yeah, so but there's a lot of good things and we appreciate everybody watching and Yeah Subscribing and just hanging out with us having a good time Whether your hairdresser or not. I think it's good for people to To like you're saying relax and just kind of Not learn but learn what's possible. I think it's it's good to learn to expect more. Yeah. Yeah, like we We do this because we love our profession. Yeah, and Not everybody out there is doing this because it's what they love Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that but if that's the kind of experience that you're looking for You need to know that there are people that really love this and it's so funny I like in a similar vein of understanding that I Just like when I first started getting tattooed. I went to this person just because she was recommended. I knew nothing about The industry itself and so I go when I started seeing her and she I liked what she gave me and so I just kept going back to her But then I started watching those like tattoo competition shows Was how I discovered that there's so many people out there that aren't good at this I was like, oh, wow. I I got lucky like This is actually an industry where passion and artistry really Take you to the next level. Yeah, and So, yeah, I I'm all for people Like stumbling upon us that aren't even hairdressers just to know That if you don't have someone that cares this much about you That there are those people out there Yeah, and that you need to find them and you don't have to come all the way to new hope No, I mean that's look at all the people that just signed in from all over the world watching this all of those people Care as much as we do about Being able to provide the best that they can For the people that they're doing it on. Yeah, there are tons and tons of hairdressers all over the world That love hair like we do which is why we started doing this. Um Of his personality There you go, bro. Ah Um starting hairdressing at 58. Oh, that's awesome. Good for you. Um It's a good time. I also do want to talk. So I have a client. Um Who I'm not gonna tell the story Basically the person they watch my videos a lot and it came from a person watching my videos That's why I don't which I guess is why I can't talk shit because they're gonna watch it Exactly. Gotcha. So never mind. I can't tell that story. But fair Just don't This is what I want to say though Because there is another level of watching our videos where you go to the hairdresser and then you think you know And that's where it's a little bit weird because Like we said, we love this so much and we study it so much That you can't just watch a few videos and then kind of know but it can give you an inspiration to to find somebody that really loves doing hair and Then when you find that person you won't have to have you won't be nervous or anything But that would be the inspiration part of it not to actually teach because Like I'm still trying to get better at what I do every day And I don't think I'll ever get to the level that I want because every day I'm like learning more things and trying to get better. But like You're not going to learn that from watching even a hundred youtube videos Like it's just not going to happen. So just just so to the people that are watching this that are hairdressers You can handle it the way that I do When someone comes in and says well, I saw this video and this is how brian did it You can say well, I appreciate that. I don't need you to be concerned with how I do it I just need to know what you want me to do Yeah, because I do get that because I think it's cool too Like when people do give like if somebody sent me a video of somebody doing something I appreciate it because I look at it like This totally lets me into the into their brain and what they're thinking they want But then I'm still going to go about it in the best way that I know Right, you know like my my christmas gift my continuing christmas gift from my mother Is that now she's gotten a hairdresser. So now that that relief is plate And for the longest time even though I wasn't doing it She's got a hairdresser and she likes him. He does a great job But she would like ask me so how do I what do I say for this? What how do I tell him to do this and finally I just said ma I don't know like I cut Cut hair just sit down and let him do what he's going to do just listen to him He's got your hair in his hands. Everyone does this differently. Just let him do it And so now it's This she just told me she just got it cut and she sits down and she's talking to me and he goes What did brian tell you and she said to let you do what you're going to do So We got this and just so everyone Is filled in brian's mom lives very far away Oh, yeah, it's not like she lives in town and I just won't do it But now she lets me go on vacation and not bring scissors like my christmas present is when I go see her Her hair's already done. There you go All right, so This is the after I did a few more highlights on her obviously as you can see But it was a similar idea where I The curls that I was presented with I did in larger sections and then when she diffused the curls came out a little bit smaller Then how they were when I applied it. So the way that that translates here Is you've got a lot of smaller highlights. I didn't go in and paint these teeny tiny little lines That would take a zillion years That's the fun of this texture is it's going to look a little different every single time But it's always going to it's always going to work like I put that effort in So now I've got these highlights that run through these curls and they're all over, you know I did a a little less underneath because that was the look that I wanted I made sure that when I got to the outside I was a little bit more heavy-handed because that's how hair is going to look naturally So it just gives that super natural organic lived-in kind of look that in my opinion My opinion Just looks best on curls like I I love how natural You can make hair look on curly hair while still doing You know something as as grandiose as a full highlight and hand painting and all that stuff and it still looks like Oh, she just woke up like this. She just walked off the beach like this So when it comes to teaching them how to diffuse A couple of tips that I just like to give them for getting getting started as you move on you can Teach them more tips more tricks But you want to keep it simple at first especially if this is someone that's never worn their hair curly Or was never shown how to wear it curly a couple of things that I just like to teach them I do side side forward Keep it very simple if they can just remember side side forward That's going to be how you dry it with the towel how you apply product and how you're going to dry it with the diffuser So what I mean by that When they're done with their shower and it's all like wet and stuck to their head I will tell them grab on to something like a soap dish or a bar if you have bars in the shower Whatever Grab it shake your head a little bit try to get your hair to come off of your scalp Because when people say oh like my hair just kind of hangs and it only curls at the ends It doesn't only curl at the ends. That's something that people think Because no one has explained to them that the curl wants to curl from the root But you got to get it off the scalp in order for it to curl at the root Otherwise, it's just going to stay stuck and flat to the head and then only curl where it hangs off of the head So by having them out before they even get out of the shower It's going to set them up for us by starting to allow that curl to start at the root Which is where they're going to get a nice volume and it's where they're going to actually have their hair cut Joe the shape in the final style Otherwise, whatever put in is just going to go and then curl at the end So have them shake it out and then that's when you begin with the side side forward by that I mean I have them hang their head all the way to the right Hold on I'll just hold it all the way to the right and then with the towel over their hand give themselves some scrunches And they're doing that is because you want to approach the hair hanging off the head So by hanging to the right they want to be focusing on all of the hair that's on that side of their head Because you've now taken gravity out of the situation head shape out of the situation And you can get that hair to curl from the root. So side Side same thing over here and then I'll have them flip over as far as they can go And then do the same here That will allow them to scrunch everything that's up on the top of their head And make it just a little bit easier to get that lifted up off of the scalp As far as the back of the head, it's super easy for us To have them lean back and style their hair this way when they're in the chair But this isn't so easy for them to do at home Which is why I don't really focus on this being one of the movements for them I tell them they can tackle the back of the head When they're off on the side off on the side They can just sort of reach around to the back of their head and get the scrunching in that way Once that's done with the towel over the hand to get the initial moisture out I tell them the exact same thing for applying the product side side forward And that's so that you can get that Definition that you want all the way up to the root and then same thing with the diffuser Side hit with the diffuser that nice volume take gravity out of the situation Other side exact same thing and then flip forward to get those curls up on the crown of the head Cool And there you have it And now it's 11 It is Yes, look at that on the nose Ish All right guys, so that was super fun Thank everyone for coming on and chatting with each other with me with matt with whoever Thank you for questions and kind remarks and all that stuff Be sure to go to freesuneducation.com download the app so that you can check out the cool new layout that I need to go Get myself actually yes and Find me on instagram.
