 Hey guys Brian here from freestyleneducation.com and I'm coming at you with a brand new video this time It's a full makeover start to finish. I got my friend Sarah who just got married a little while ago So for the past year and a half she's been growing her hair out so that it would be nice and long for the big day Now that the big day is coming gone. It was time for a big change So she was really really awesome and she let me do it all on film for you So we sat her down. We did a really great balayage making sure that we Toned it to give it that great blonde effect. It's very current. It's very hot right now And it's something that a lot of us can use actually in the salon on our guests because it gives them that taste of fun Dimension without necessarily going to a super super light place. That's going to make them uncomfortable After that we went in and did a really cool undercut textured chop of a super PC Bob We wanted to give her something that would be professional enough for work But young and flirty and fun just like she is so I really hope you guys enjoyed the video. Here it is And away we go. I Got her sectioned off here Just so that I could go ahead and take off some of the unnecessary length because I know I'm going to be doing a hand painting So I would rather have the hair generally in a similar length to where we're going to end up just that way I as I paint my sections It's going to be a little bit more realistic. So Went ahead did a fun little dry cut plus she wanted to donate the hair So I had it all in nice rubber bands for and got it ready to go Just a little heads up on this video You'll notice as we get a little bit further into it that I have sped up the speed because when it comes to the balayage I I I Am basically doing the same application technique just on different sections of the head So I have my sections all You know planned out so you can see them It's just going to be sped up a little bit because I am applying it the same way every time You'll also notice in this video that my mouth is moving and sometimes I even reference the camera But you can't hear anything and that's because I was unaware that I didn't turn the microphone on So you're getting a voice-overed video instead so All that's out of the way. Here we go. I Have her sectioned off based on her net on her actual part where she wears her hair Because that's where I like the highlights to live. That's how she's going to part it That's how she's going to wear it. So I want to make sure that it looks it's best and I think that's going to be a really a Really a successful way to set yourself up is to go off of their actual part So since this is going to be an undercut I'm not starting down at the nape of the neck because I know that all of that hair is going to be removed in the haircut So I started up at what's going to be Actually left after her cut and I know that it's going to be right around this area here so I'm taking sections that are flat on the top and actually dip down a little bit almost like drawing a Triangle and upside-down triangle on the scalp and then pulling that section Straight out from the head because I'm painting these framed pieces at the top of the the triangle section What that's going to do when I let go of the hair and lay it down That hair underneath is going to buckle Which is going to create a nice little cushion so that my sections will not press too hard on the sections underneath it Wanting to give her a little bit more of a lived-in feel here so you can see not all of these sections are going to go straight down to the root because Well, I want to give her lots of dimension and movement throughout this color. I want it to also look very Potentially natural We know it's not her natural color, but I don't want people to look at her and go whoa There's a big color job. I wanted to look like maybe she just spent a lot of time in the Sun and has a little bit more light of a natural base So I'm using the perforated saran wrap that you can buy from Candy Shaw's Sun Lights Company. I absolutely love it because it does help just to make sure that all my hair stays separate So there's no bleeding and it also just helps to create a nice little environment in there So that your lightener doesn't dry out or anything like that It's it's really become a lifesaver because I can't rip saran wrap to save my life So having those nice perforations in there make it much faster much more successful much easier to handle So I definitely recommend picking some of that up Yeah, the Sun Lights Company very easy to find online and they have different lengths. I know that They they made it so that if it's you're actually hold it the other way So that like I hell I put it on there the long ways very vertically. It's meant to use horizontally It's just force a habit. That's what I started doing and so that's for some reason what I continue to do so Here we go. We're working into it. You can see this is where I've started to speed up the sections a little bit Just because like I said, it's still the same application It's just moving around the head and I did want you to be able to see the full application But didn't want you to have to sit here for you know, the whole 40 minutes that it took me to put this color on So to describe the application To go with the visual here as I'm elevating that hair nice and high I get my product on the tip of my brush and I started around the middle of the section and Sweep the color downward as I move up towards the scalp The reason for that is because that's what helps to To push that product down at which you know, I don't know if you know this or not But Bollia is just French for sweeping so think of just doing this in a sweeping motion You're sweeping the lightener down while moving up the hair Which helps to taper off the section a little bit so that You know if you wanted to you could have a much finer section up near the head You know it helps in highlighting and just creating you know, whatever kind of look you're going for I also get a lot of questions people say that these look like very large sections and aren't you worried about Having too chunky of an end result And actually because of the product that I'm using I'm not scared of that at all I'm using Again candy Shaw. I'm using the sunlights Bollia's lightener and I'm a really big fan of it because It's got a consistency that you just can't beat. It's it's a clay base lightener So it just grabbed onto the hair wherever you put it. It's not going to swell. It's not going to get weird And using larger sections like this are actually completely fine because that clay base and that consistency As it clings to the hair it helps to almost diffuse itself so You know, it's it adds a little bit of extra style to what you already do. So I put that nice big fat section on there But it's going to diffuse itself away and not be Too stripy or harsh of a look. It's a really really superior product You definitely got to check it out if you haven't played with it yet Again, make sure that elevation is nice and high There's a technique that I use that I often refer to when I teach About Bollia's and it's called force perspective. If you've watched any of my other videos, you've heard me talk about it before It's uh, it's a technique used in art everything from paintings and drawings to architecture architecture and now we use it in hair and I'm just Calling it out Force perspective is when you create three dimensions on a two-dimensional plane By having you know, your lines come together It's a very crude description of it. I think but if you think of a long hallway And you've got the two lines that are on either side of the floor and the two lines that are on either side of the ceiling If you stare straight down that hallway, eventually those four lines come together That's what force perspective is and that's how we're creating a nice seamless Bollia's in the hair um I have those two lines on the outside that Just seamlessly come together Down at my fingertips. I'm not forcing them together by just painting across the hair I'm letting them naturally come together where that hair is pinched in my fingers So what that does is that helps to create a very nice soft seamless transition from her darker root color into those lighter ends So whether I choose to Just do the outsides or like you see here actually paint a line down the middle of the inside It really is just a matter of how light I want her to be That's one of the great things that I love about Bollia's is you can look and see Exactly, you know, what's going to be lightened. You're looking at the hand painting yourself So you can see, you know, do I Need to cool it on the next section because I just put a lot of blonde in or do I need to pick up the piece You know, it's whatever whatever you want this end result to be As you see I come in one very important area for me Is to always make sure you get that little sideburn area because You know this day and age People pull their hair up constantly whether it's for work or for the gym or to get it out of their face or whatever That's a very common thing is women need to pull their hair up and have their hair still look good What I like about Bollia's is it doesn't Give too harsh of an end result So you can get right in there on the hairline and so long as you get that angle down when she pulls her hair back It's going to still be highlighted without being too harsh. So I lift it up that sideburn section and actually painted the underside of it because I want to make sure that that pop You know, it happens when the hair goes up as well As I work around the face I always make sure that the sections closest to the hairline on the face Go as close to the head as possible because in all actuality were this a strictly sun lightened effect That would be the lightest it tends to be finer hair So it gets really light in the sun if you think of like a small child's like a little girl Who just spent all summer running around that hair around her face is going to be so much lighter And that's really the effect that we're trying to create by by painting this in I wanted to make sure that I get lots of blonde around that face because I did put quite a bit in the back there So I I really kick it up an extra notch as we get to the front of the head as we finish up Make sure as you get up around the top of the head that you're still paying attention to elevation You know holding it straight towards your chest isn't the same elevation anymore because now you're at the top of the head So really focus on making sure that you you get that hair up there get that lift so that You know, you have a nice even consistency throughout the entire job that you're doing there Again start framing that section Going the the outsides of the triangle letting the lines naturally come together at my fingertips I use the paddle also from sun lanes. Thank you sun lanes for making this So easy for me I use the paddle to hold it so that I can make sure that I get those ends perfectly saturated and covered because I really want her to just Be light We're going for that bronze. I got to do it all My favorite pieces to do those pieces right at the part right around the face, whether they've got bangs or Just layers around the face. I love it because that's always In my opinion supposed to be the lightest I always refer to them as the sarah jessica parker pieces Because if you look at her as long as she's been a blonde That's always where the highest concentration of her blonde is even There are times she's got dark hair But still has those pieces right on the part right around the face super light It makes a world a difference Which is also why it's very important again to go off of their part If it's somebody that says, oh, well my part moves around We'll then ask them where it tends to be the most or go with where It it was when they walked in Play it safe play it smart. We know how this works Again creating that center line to really Make sure and see you look there. You see that negative space that dark hair That's going to be the dark to lightened ratio when she's finished The section I really wanted to make sure that it was ultra saturated So I even lifted it up and went underneath Because more than wanting this piece to diffuse out. I wanted that top piece right on the part to be really light So I let it pierce through on both sides Let me lay it down do that front Favorite piece of mine I wanted to use the gopro on this so that you guys got a little bit of a pov I know not everyone loves the gopro angle But it's something I don't see a whole lot of so I wanted to offer it If you don't like it I close your eyes, I guess and so you get to the parts that aren't gopro But I wanted you to see because You know, there's so many angles that are so important in this and now you guys get This angle to see how high I'm lifting the hair and you've got the gopro angle to see at what angle I'm Painting onto the section. So now there's options This I just went ahead and sped way up because Again, I'm not doing anything crazy different than I've done on the entire rest of the head And these are just the last couple of sections Uh, I processed her the other good thing about the cellophane I processed her until it looked done until I knew that it was light enough for me to tone it Um, I I do mention it later I used the palmachial pm shines 9a as her toner Because I didn't want to completely eradicate the warmth, but I wanted to get rid of the unnecessary brassiness like the I wanted to tone down the orange her tones and you know Not really I didn't I didn't want to make it an ashy overall color. I just wanted it to be a nice natural warmth It is fall when we're doing this. So You know, I wanted to leave some behind so that uh, it still looked really pretty and Seasonally appropriate Come winter and spring will probably go even later, but this was the first step So now we've got a nice little package. She's all wrapped up We can see through the cellophane and we're going to move into a very sped up haircut But I wanted to make sure that you guys could see it Um, I just sectioned her off again pretty much the same way that I did for her Her color Her undercut I'm using the donald scott razor the carving comb. It's one of my favorite tools ever for doing razor cuts I Decided what was going to be her undercut based on her density and I'm pulling the sections straight out from the head and Just cutting it right off nice and close Like a layer really so that way it will hug her head nice and tight And it actually grows in very gently very forgiving But it's going to take away so much bulk so that I can give her the appearance Of you know, a closer to one length sort of bob her hair is too thick to pull that off So this is how we cheat See the angle that I'm holding that at Holding into that angle and then cutting with a razor Doubles up on giving you a little bit of a soft graduation I'm not trying to create so much of a stacked look as much I am really just trying to take And shift that weight line up a little bit so that it doesn't sit like a heavy heavy triangle So you can see as we move into the front I sort of I was just eyeballing to continue that that angle going cutting on top of my fingers Just using that razor just to carve that out of the This is really just the foundation of the haircut. I went in and did a lot of dry cutting to really Really create, you know the cool peaceiness of this chopped You know bob so Just checking myself. I blew her out nice and dry. I did tons and tons of tease cutting I mean, I went through and just tease cut it like crazy Matt's got a couple videos on tease cutting if you need that broken down for you I went through I probably went through her entire head two or three times because I just I wanted to shatter that bob so much That I really just you know, it's an eyeball kind of thing you look at it You do it a few times. You see if that section has enough you It's it's like sculpting doing the dry cutting and the tease cutting You see what areas need the attention and you give it to it So try that again All right, so here she is the final product She's now been baliaged all the plaques toned cut undercut blown out And she's pretty happy. She's sitting here checking herself out hard while she was getting ready So as you can see it sort of that color lives in that realm of Do we consider it blonde? Do we consider it brown? Which is the definition of bronze which is very in right now To tone her I just used she lifted to a pretty golden slightly orange in places But probably in that eight anywhere from eight to ten range depending on What uh, whether the color was previously lightened or not So I went in with a sheer actually is palm mitchell's pm shines 9a because I knew that it was going to be sheer and I knew that their ash was a very Stout blue base that was going to take care of the oranges But leave me some of the golds that I wanted to make sure we're left behind So it still looked natural and not too ashy To give it that bronze feel and if you check We've got our nice little undercut under there. It's her little secret So we've gotten this fabulous look. Let's give her a spin so you can see the full thing. Look at that smile And she's happy as can be and the last the final thing that we checked She can still get it into a teeny tiny little ponytail So she's happy as can be So there it is we're going to style her up with a couple more looks for you So you can see it with a little bit of the tousled curl You've seen it straight.
