 What's up guys welcome to today's vlog so on the vlog today, I've got a special guest Danielle Who is a stylist here at salon gratitude? And we are going to go over some highlighting techniques the thing I love about today's video is that? Danielle's going to show you how to highlight with a sponge correct, so That should be really fun for you guys and also it's on extra curly hair So you're gonna get a ton of knowledge on curly hair from Danielle and also sponge highlighting So it's a pretty fun technique. Well, I really liked it because it just It gets the maximum amount of highlighting with the least amount of work So you're not sitting there trying to fight with the curls Combing through it or weaving and all of that So you get a good dispersion of highlighting as well as her natural So whether it's curly blown out it just works both ways sweet guys, so I hope you guys enjoy the video We're gonna get started here. We go. Hey everybody. So today I chose to use vero blue from joyco I am doing a one to one and a half ratio with their 30 volume developer So mixing it to a really nice creamy consistency so that way it can work a little smoother now I'm just separating it into four basic quadrants Just to keep everything a little easier to work with now. I'm just zigzagging in a diagonal back section and Cutting that section in half Sections are pretty large just because with your curl pattern It's a little blown out the sponge is a sea sponge that soaks up a lot of products You can see the little pitted edges. I start in the mid shaft and then work my way up And then once I place my foil I saturate so that way the underside in the mids get a little bit more Saturation and lightness going through it. So pretty much like a basic balayage And again just splitting that in half with another zigzag that way the hair has somewhere to lay and Evenly disperses the highlight with the natural color I also use the corner of my sponge just to feather it a little bit closer to the hairline without giving it a hard harsh line Daniel would you say that there's a big difference between when you're coloring fine hair and coloring curly hair taking more hair at a time when it's curly I Would say yes, just because Then you have a little bit more cushion You don't have to go all the way through to the bottom of the hair and then that's where you get a little bit more of that spotting Okay, so again just placing my foils I chose to use the foils just so that I can incubate the hair a little bit more and Get it up to that orange yellow face I also chose the blue lightener because you can see the color lightning a little bit better than if you had a White powder lightener. Hey, so again using that corner just to Shimmy that right up to the scalp and I'm more of a repetitive motion kind of stylist So that's why I like this technique Because it's not like you have to change it from section to section. So it's really fast really easy Now once you get to the top You have the choice of whether you want to weave it just to make yourself a little bit more comfortable Or you can go in and do the same thing as I was where you're just Saturating that top piece and the mid shafts and ends totally up to you So we're gonna process for about 25 minutes and As you can see here, this is the view of both straight and curly So when Danielle tone guys she used a level 8 ash and then a dash of one in just to add a little bit of Depths to it on dry hair using the joyco beat shake Great texturizing product gives a huge amount of shine to the hair and Is really touchably soft So thanks everybody and I hope you like the video all right guys So if you liked today's video, which I hope you did make sure you subscribe to the channel also, let us know if you have any questions in the comments below and Check out freesaloneducation.com for more videos just like this.
