 I am Brian Hare, I am here with Freestyle on Education Live. It is your Wednesday Hump Day color class with me and the always effervescent Matt back. No longer needing to be in a mask so you can hear him unfiltered because, well, we're still socially distanced, but we're all backed up, so we're good. Alright, so hello. Welcome from everywhere. We're checking this out. This is fun. Don't worry. Matt dances. He just dances off camera. For those of you that are enjoying the wonderful little display of dancing that I do while we count down. Yeah, alright. So Matt, let's go over our chat rules. They're not really rules. They're guidelines. I know. I love that you have me as like your... I don't know. What is the word though? You're my straight man. No, like. But I mean like actually, like in a comedy Melissa McCarthy is always the funny one and then she always has like the straight man with her and it's like you're my Sandra Bullock or my Octavia Spencer. Okay, that's not where I was. I'll just do the run though. I'm curious. You guys know... I know, I'll explain that. You guys know what to do. If you're an OG, you've been watching this, you've been part of these classes. Just help us out by popping in the chat. Make everyone feel welcome. Also putting all the links if somebody asks, if somebody's asking where to get clips or where to find Brian, where he's at, you know, all that stuff. Post it in the chat. Also make sure you download the new version of our app FSE Now. It's getting better and better by the day. You can now go live and we had a live hangout chat thing after the show yesterday. So, you know, that's where there's going to be more of those. So, just get involved, create a profile, download the app. It's FSE Now. Everybody will let you know in the chat. And then also if you have questions, type Q and put in your question just like this. Just the Q shows us that it is a question, not just chat and we can add it to the question list and Brian will answer it either at that moment or later depending on the question. So... As soon as we can get to it. Yeah, exactly. And I think that's pretty much it. And if you're new, type new. Let us know where you're from and we're just having fun. Make sure you hit the share button. Let's grow this room as big as we can. We got a lot of people in here right now and let's make it bigger. Love that. Cool. Cool. Alright. So, in my ever overthinking brain about, well, everything I was trying to figure out what could we do for this week. Because I really enjoyed last week doing the balayage that was specifically for that haircut. It was a shorter haircut. It's actually just, it was a short haircut straight up. So, this week I wanted to hit on a different style of haircut. Last week it was all about figuring out how to highlight haircut that moves a lot, that has a lot of flow to it. This time I wanted to do a haircut that is made to not move a whole lot. She's a little crooked. Trust me, it's a one length haircut. It's just going to have, it's a very precision. I taught this to be also soon back in the 60s so it's very, it's there. Yeah, but, you know, typically in a blunt one length, however you want to refer to it haircut, the point of it is to fall and sit and just that is the style itself. And that doesn't mean that it doesn't deserve its own specific type of highlighting. That's my whole thing that I'm trying to impart on everybody is that, you know, what especially when it comes to balayage but really it should come that way with foils as well. When you're highlighting hair, it really should be catered to the haircut. There's not just one cookie cutter thing that's going to go on every single head of hair because that's how you get bored as a hairdresser and then that's when your work starts to slip. And that's when people start to leave you to go find someone who's more fun because you're no longer specifically catering your skill set to what your guest needs. So today is another step in that. This type of haircut, how would you highlight it? This is how I chose to highlight it and I wanted to share that with you guys. So we could focus more on the technique and less on the exact color. I once again chose to tone her with a nice fantasy color. This was another yellow that I had in my house. This one I believe is the Manic Panic Pro line. It was a few years old but it still shows. Still worked out. Great. It's their solar yellow. It's pretty. It's gel consistency. It was easy to use. Yeah, so don't, you don't have to worry about what I toned it with. You tone with whatever you want. I just did yellow because it looks pretty and I like yellow hair. Two, just a little bit of an overview of what I chose to do here. Again working off of a haircut that's not meant to have a lot of swing. It's not meant to have a lot of movement. I wanted to apply a technique that also just looks good sitting there as it is. So just a quick overview I've started in the back. Think of it as the highlights are much lower in the back of the head. It's really more just through the ends on the outside of this haircut and then as it travels forward around the face the highlights come higher and higher up until eventually we get to a stronger money piece around Lafache. Another really easy way to see that and understand while we're focusing. I'm going to totally just throw this. It's focusing on my biceps. It's over here. Hang on, I'm switching. There's not a whole lot of action on this camera this time. There will be when I'm applying, but for now it's just us. Let's see. Do I have any questions? No. Alright, hey look it's focused and not on my biceps anymore. This is a technique that's mostly just around the outside of the haircut. I did also want to go in because realistically hair goes up a lot so I wanted to also do a little bit around the face for my guests so that when the hair goes up there's still highlights worth paying good money for but a good way to show exactly what I'm talking about when I turn her upside down you can see there's very little if any color in any of this hair that's underneath all the action just like the style itself is on the outside. Which is also mimicking what the sun would do. You're trapped on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in Castaway. This is exactly what you'd look like. Cool? Gorgeous. So now I'm going to put the lasagna away and bring the noodles over and get into the nitty gritty. That's funny. Thinking about it, I've never actually made lasagna before. I should do that. I'm going to talk about it all the time. I should like make a lasagna. Yeah, bring it here. Alright. She's got, we're there. I just went off of a center-ish part because that's how she came out and cast away. Yeah, that's it. It's the name of one of our classes. Cast away. It's also important to know that that lasagna mannequin looked like this mannequin prior. Oh yeah, they were the same color. Yeah, so they both started this dark. Yeah, they were. And so just with this technique popped her up to that level. That's the whole, yeah. Good point, Matt. See, this is why you're a straight man. Love your randomness, says Renee. Oh, I thought you were saying that. It's like, thanks, Matt. I like your predictability. Alright, I'm going to section her off. Basically just front to back. I'm going to take the back all at once and then each of the front sides. If this, if your guest doesn't have a center part totally fine. You're pretty much going to do things the same. So don't worry about that. You don't have to start forcing center parts on people like you're a Gen Z Tiktoker. Ugh, don't even get me started on that. What? The whole Tiktok Gen Z telling people to wear center parts and no skinny jeans. My clients keep asking me about it and I get like heated. Because you're getting old? No, because so what I keep saying is I feel like as long as I've been a hairdresser or like in the beauty biz like 14-ish years we haven't really like we sort of got away from this is one thing that everyone has to do. Like whether or not it's good for their hair. Gone are the days of everybody has to get the Rachel even though it only looks good on one type of hair. And now the beauty industry has been so much more about embracing what's best for you. Like embracing your beauty and all that. And so I like that. I feel like fashion has kind of started to go that way. The beauty industry has really gone that way. And then here come these kids that were not around when we had that conversation as a society. And they're trying to say everyone has to do this. And it's like children, the adults have already spoken. This is called discovering yourself. That's fine. Try your center parts. Try your ugly 90s clothes. But don't tell us that we got to do it too. Just go away. Yeah, it's true. I'm not putting those clothes on. Yeah, they didn't look good then. Why would they look good now? What a waste of a hot young body. Right? Yes, friends Rachel. Yes, that one. The Jennifer Aniston cut that looked good on just her. Alright, so tools for today. Sunlights that I almost just dumped all over the floor. Not sunlights. Skylights. The other one. Skylights, Paul Mitchell, Clay Bass Lightner. You know I love it unless it's your first time and then you don't know what I love. This is your first time. I love this Lightner. It's very versatile. It's great for when you get it the consistency you want. It still is going to work. So if somebody likes it a little bit more watery or a little bit thicker, I typically like it more toothpastey, spackily that kind of texture. Going 40 volume because it's a darker canvas and I would like a little bit more of a pop. Got my egg spatula because that's how I like to mix it. I was just telling Matt this weekend I did not want to put my egg spatula into Lightner because I actually use it for eggs. So I used a whisk when I was doing my lasagna at home. The pre-done. And I realized just such a huge difference. I'm so used to having my consistency made with this little spatula. And the difference is it whipped in so much less air. So I get the thicker consistency that I like without it getting so floofy. So I suggest that just reminds me like try different things. Find out what your favorite way is. Because you may do it with a spatula and love it or you may hate it. And you may prefer the whisk with all the air in it. Gen Z says spatula. Gen Z, they say spatula. For this? It is a spatula. You're on trend. I'm older. So this is what I say. He did say floofy. Everyone calls it a spatula because that's what it's called. No I know. They use a spatula. Well I'm a millennial and I use a spatula too. You're so mad. I learned it from a Gen Xer. So look at all that. It passed down. Alright. Look at that beautiful whip. And we are using that's why it was in my head. The sunlight folly wrap. We got there. We got it. Sand up my brushes like everybody loves when I do it. Because it helps me stay neat. And it's great because I got a few different size brushes. They're there. They're ready to go. I've got room for my bolly wrap. I've got room for more bowls that I don't even need. And the bowl that I'm using. So I get to keep everything nice and neat. If I decide to choose tools, change tools, boom. Grab and go. I want to put it back. Put it right back. Everything stays nice. Everything stays neat. Organized. It makes me happy. Cool beans. So especially on a haircut like this where the point of the highlights that we're putting on there is that they're going to be applied pretty much where you're going to see them. You might want to make sure that the hair looks pretty good before you start. And what I mean by that is you may want to prep it. They come in with their hair in a hat or a bun or something like that. The crinkles, the bed head, the it being out of place. This one you may want to actually prep the hair before you start. Because like I said, like with last week that the hair cut that moves a lot, like the short pixie, you can kind of still work your way through it. You can maneuver that short hair to get it to do what you want to do when you highlight it. But this, I'm going to put that highlight there and then that's where you're going to see it in the end result. So the hair needs to kind of be sitting pretty similarly to how it's going to be worn all the time. Make sense? I see Matt nodding yes, so I assume you're all nodding yes. Alright, so with the back of the head, like I said I'm going to start in the very center where it's not going to be as highlighted. I'm really just going to give like a small little V through the ends just to break up and have there be a little bit because it's just the vibe that I want. If you do this and you want highlights all the way up that's on you. This is what I'm choosing to show today. I want lower through here with highlights getting higher as it travels up to the money piece in the front so that it tells just a nice color story. Aside from this V we're then going to move into really cool pie slices It's a very quick technique. I like it because it's a nice quick way to get a big bang. So if somebody is wanting something and you're looking at your clock and you don't have the most time this idea of a technique is a cool way to go because you can like I said get an exciting pop of brightness and color in there without doing an arduous like hour and a half long application. Alright, so I'm loading up my paddle get myself plenty to work with here. Do I stand for you to see the best? This works, right? I'm going to paint my thumb. I just want my huge muscles getting in the way. Yeah, cool. Alright, so I I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to grab this arrow that's on the outside. Make my little V with it. I'm not super concerned with saturating underneath. I want to say like an overlay kind of technique. This is just going to sit on the outside. So cool beans. It's pretty much in the center. Alright, so grab my little V. I'm going to pinch where you want the lines that we're going to create to come together. Again, think about that. If you come up here then that's where your highlights converge and all that is supposed to be blonde. That's not really what I'm going for back in this section. So I'm going to slide down so that that's all that's hanging out because that's all that I'm trying to make sure is blonde at the ends. Cool cool cool. To the side of this so that you guys can see. Light brushing. That's why when you look at the after on this it's not necessarily a ton of super super strong highlights. It's really more just adjusting where the light and dark is in that haircut. So what I mean by that is I'm not going in here and blasting super super thick you know we talk about it all the time. Saturation is super super important. So I'm not going way thick with these highlights because I'm already using a 40 volume. So I'm going to get a pretty decent bump anyway. By letting this highlight be a little thinner. This just means it's going to be a weaker lift. So as I move forward I will saturate my highlights more and more so that the highlights themselves will get brighter and brighter. Alright so after I've gone and put that in that's sort of the anchor that we work off of because I do try to keep a little bit of symmetry here. So I've got my center there. I'm going to grab a little high shape section. So can you tell. But the section does go all the way down through the hairline. I'll show you on the other side probably a little better. But when I grab this I've got the whole section from the high point all the way down to the hairline even though I'm only going to be highlighting the outside. My reason for doing that is that as I come through and apply the ends it does kiss the ends a little bit of the hair that's underneath in this one line. So that while it is mostly applied to just the outside it is going to just marry in that underneath a little bit. Again I'm going to a little higher up than I did that center section in the back. I'm doing it on the other side too. Then as I get to the bottom I transfer that over and I allow a little bit like I said just a tiny bit of that underneath whatever falls on the board. I'm not going after it but whatever falls there from my pinching it I am going to go ahead and lighten those ends like I said just because it marries the underneath with the outside of the haircut a little bit better. When I get to the end I do have a higher concentration in my saturation because I want that highlight to tell its own color story of you've got your base color it starts to lighten because of my consistency and then it just gets or saturation I'm sorry it just gets more and more saturated as it travels down through the end of the hair. Now I'll do the same thing but on the other side again come up here find my little pie slice and just pull it straight out clean up your work. If you try to apply a wild messy section it's going to be a wild messy highlight so take the couple of seconds that it takes to sort this hair out. Comb it if you have to but just make sure you've got a nice canvas to work on so that it's not going crazy. Alright so real quick question was why 40 needed to be that strong I like 40 in my balayage lighteners just because balayage lighteners typically need it to get that boost. I'm working with a dark canvas I'm wanting to get it as light as I can so I need the 40 to really get up there. Open air you need to bump up the developer even though I'm going to use balay wrap on it I still like 40 because it gives me the power to break through some of that dominant pigment because with foils it's incubating so it breaks through on its own much easier. 40 just really sets it up so that I'm going to have an easier time getting a result that I'm expecting. And Donna is saying explain your pie shape sectioning where is it wide to narrow? Okay by pie shape yeah you're right I should clarify it's a pie in my head so maybe think of it more like a clock than a pie shape when you look at the top of the head you want to go over head real quick and I can sort of explain what I mean by that okay so if you look at this and think of this like a clock here's the center of your clock and then I'm taking sections out like this. That's not true up front I'm not in the back it's like a clock so the section I took here would be 7 730 and then I held it out it's like half of 7 and 6 it's in between 7 and 8 over here we've got like 445 and I took this slice and I'm holding it out like a thinner in here it really is just more like a number on a clock so thank you for that to help me clarify that a little bit more and then you are kind of painting it pie like though a little bit because you're painting it in a V shape but to clarify the visual that I had in my head I was thinking of it like slices of pie when really it's not it's more like times on a clock so this one's going to be 445 and again I'm going to hold it down through the ends because wherever you're holding it again is where it's blown through the end. Would clay lightener be more effective than ordinary lightener? If you're doing this technique yes because clay lightener is made so that it won't swell up and get crazy and go areas that you don't want it to go that's the point of it like when you use regular lightener yeah of course you could but it's just not going to be as predictable or as easy as regular lightener it over the processing period kind of swells up and when it swells up is when it starts touching other hair that you didn't mean for it to it won't lift quite as consistently this I like because you get your consistency it goes where you want it and it stays where you put it like a well behaved dog So Priscilla the tray is from MinervaBeauty.com and these are what we use in the salon and they are a lifesaver especially when you get somebody that you are needing to put multiple bowls into their process because if you've ever done that on a regular tray then you're sitting there and they're fighting over space and you're knocking stuff around you knock one of the bowls off or you dip into the wrong thing because now that bowl is sitting where the bowl originally was there's a big old pain that's great because as I've stated many times and I'm sure is a surprise to my mother I'm really big on organization at this point in my life and this just helps make it so that I can create an application that's as complicated as I want and this helps keep it organized I'm doing fantasy colors I'll put them in Roy G Biv order in the bowls and it's gorge alright so now this is what the back of this looks like it's going it's starting to make more sense we've got our clock we've got our six 445, 730, 740 somewhere in there so now I'm going to hit the nine and the three to get what's hanging off on the sides here on my wings I'll start with the side you can see easier first there we go someone said can we tease the sections you can make fun of them I don't I mean I don't know why you would tease them like I nothing gets Brian more frustrated than Gen Z or teasing Balayage well I mean I I tease foils I don't really tease Balayage because if you're using the right tools really need to like if you're that worried about your work being harsh then you just need to work on making your work softer you know work on maybe a saturation thing like if you need to soften the lines of your highlight then work on you know instead of going in and getting a ton of lightener every time start low and build up you can always add more it's just like when I went and got Botox and I was nervous and she said well you can start low because we can always put more in once there you can't take it out so what we'll do I'll show you if I want to go softer instead of coming down here on my paddle where there's lots of product I'm just going to pick up where there's barely any and I'll start real soft because I know with that that is not a good enough elevation bring it up bring it up folks give yourself a good palette to work on this is super easy we need to go overhead again so you can see I do so you can see I have a very slight highlight that is going to like bump but not lift super super light so with that I can build on this highlight so if you're working on your softness rather than tease maybe try this because this can this will help give you the confidence of control because now you're aware okay that's going to be a very slight highlight I'm good there and then as you come down through the end get more saturation so that you can just build a brighter highlight the ends until again you transfer to the paddle and then lighten the ends it's so funny you know who's harassing me the hardest about seeing last week's noodles my mother she's like I want to see the one you were working on oh the one you did last yeah I'm like alright I'm very busy Danielle had to rinse it because I had to run out of here and go start with my client so she just sat there with highlights for a really long time until Danielle saw it and said I bet this needs to be washed we should show the other noodle the curly one that Danielle curled up hey that's one that one's waiting on you so I'm ready alright so this is my nine o'clock this is actually right at nine o'clock so no funny jokes this one's very serious I'm just kidding everything's a funny joke alright so I got my stroke of nine I'm going to hold it out nice and high mother knows best get that off the screen before she sees it I'll never hear the end of that does elevation matter yes elevation matters during because the easiest way to explain it if I don't elevate it and I drag it down and apply like this everything underneath it is going to get smashed so you don't want that so elevation does a couple of different things for you one it preserves any highlight that you're doing underneath in this technique it's cool because when I elevate it and apply as I set it down it makes the hair buckle a little bit so it's going to come out like this so that it won't apply any pressure to the hair underneath again because balayage is all about control where you put that highlight is where it's going to live so come in again we're getting closer to the root your mom says to leave in all fairness I did get a tattoo in my mother's handwriting that says Brian was right so I guess that's fine now we're even alright nice saturated end and then just a little trick I like to do to help make sure that it buckles a little bit and doesn't press on the hair beneath I'll take my little magic wand here and then just hold it as I come off the paddle so then when I set it down it's a nice gentle set down doesn't slam down and we start flying everywhere alright so now I'm going to apply some balay rap just to the outside and the main reason for that is because the sections that I'm going to do in the very front it makes my life a little bit easier to direct them back as you apply so putting this down will keep these highlights safe and it will keep the ones I'm getting ready to do safe so I love the balay rap because of the perforated sections normally not this masterful at ripping regular cellophane it's good stuff I like to tell myself it's recyclable I accidentally watched a thing on plastics alright again yeah let's start with this side there's a good question does Matt have any tattoos no I was skipping that one didn't think I'd notice he's got a couple I do have a couple got one of my favorite tattoos okay so to harken back to what I was saying about I want to give her something so that when she pulls her hair back she also has some highlights because she is going to live with this oh hi James I love him that's funny so we were talking about manic panic and the manic panic I used and result is one that he gave me at a hair show many years ago I want this to also work for a guest while it looks cool on a mannequin just sitting there in real life a client is probably going to pull their hair back so I want to have some highlights in there so that they're happy when they see that as well so for my sectioning I'm going to decide what of that hairline is going to be that face framing highlighty stuff so I'm going to section that off and that's going to be treated differently and a mannequin I was going to say mannequin hairlines get a little funny but all hairlines get a little funny so just watch what you're doing and you'll be good to go so for this now we take this last section that you've got my big clock and we're going to determine how many highlights to split this up into in the prep for the other mannequin and it looks like this one too two sections seems to be like it's going to do alright again keeping in mind we're now getting closer to the front closer to the money piece so now we're starting to get the ends are going to start to get a little bit lighter it's going to start to create that intensity that blonde is going to start to get more so as it travels to the front so we are going to start to paint some more of the underneath here so again I look at this I want two sections so I'm just going to split it in half start with my first one and it's going to be very similar to the back except that this time there's just going to be more saturation on the ends and when you're looking at your section from overhead I don't know it's trying to be subtle when you look at it it's got like there's a front and a back to this I'm going to highlight the front side because I'm not doing a full V because I'm not trying to create a full on ombre here I really am just trying to highlight this haircut so I'm going to have my highlights on the front side of this section that will eventually then like take over the whole thing as it travels down through the ends my brush get my elevation up what are you going to say Matt? So a lot of people are asking what we do what we do for the with the mannequin heads sorry that was hard for me to say I was trying to think and do this at the same time yes that's cool so I actually reused them quite a bit oh our creepy game of thrones hallway they look a little crazy right now because my nieces came and visited me at work and needed to spray down all of them alright so now I'm just going to transfer while Matt's bringing up a picture I'm transferring because I don't want to lose my underneath there so I'm almost creating a little bit of a V but sideways making sure that there's enough to saturate all the way through I like to use my brush bust open the ends of the section make sure there's nothing hiding in there that's not getting lightened make sure you're holding your brush so that you can fill in this whole space without worrying about a horizontal break because even though the hair is elevated and will live in a different space when it falls any horizontal lines still will show up because they're much harsher and they don't blend if you keep brushing along with the same direction the hair goes you're going to be just fine take my brush to lift it off the paddle so that it doesn't slam down and hit any highlights but they don't want it touching the last section on this side before we get to brunch where they go good shot yeah you see any old classes in there on that wall there's also a lot of other ones in here still they haven't made it to the wall they're literally everywhere they get rotated so then we grab and then we cut more off of them and then by the time they get too far down or too much bangs when it just becomes bangs on a mannequin but it helps now that like there's a bunch of us doing different kinds of glasses because you can always go back through and be like I can use this for something alright so again I've got my elevation I'm going to give myself a little bit of a side V use the corner if you're worried about creating just use the corner anyway corner of the paddle helps make sure that underneath you're not getting too harsh of a line you can check yourself don't wreck yourself again make sure you bust up the ends a little bit make sure there's lightener all the way through guide it off the paddle let it rest now I'm going to put down another protective layer of the bolly wrap because I'm about to do that front hairline and we're just going to direct all that hair back to put it in place I'll just go ahead and pull the hair back all good so this is her hairline I can look at this and I see where kind of on its own sections off a little bit so I'm going to do a highlight there a couple highlights there and then I've got her money piece I love bolly I should just look at it's like you know what that's that part needs some highlights do it we'll grab this bit the bottom first this would be like sideburns leading into temple the hair is not staying in the zone so again this is the sideburn temple highlight so I don't like to go too crazy hard on that one but I want to make sure she's going to see it because if you put it right in front of the ear really really strong it's going to lift quick and it's going to show and it's going to be really strong so again look at where I want highlights to go apply small because you can always build on them we're going on questions can this technique be used for going darker it's a highlighting technique I'm not quite sure can you do lowlights with it or would you do something different I would do something different because this has almost an ombre effect on your highlights and I don't I mean it's a look if you do this with lowlights because it's going to make your ends darker so I feel like I should say no to that question but also I don't want to stifle your creativity go for it just understand what you're doing or understand what it's going to look like so if you're doing this with lowlights it's going to be them to dark instead of them to light alright this is going to be that highlight that sets up the money piece so I'm going to make sure it is a little bit stronger towards on the section that's closest to the part again directing it back it's still keeping a nice tight elevation because that nice tight section makes it much cleaner and easier to work with when you apply there shouldn't be too much bounce in the hair because that throws off your highlight application if you're talking guitar strings don't I sound like I play guitar yes right I don't told you I want to go yeah let's bring that out everyone's starting a campaign of save the man things not ours just the waste yeah I guess I mean ours aren't wasted no but it is interesting how much their foam inside I think that's why pivot point did launch those new ones but they're so creepy they sent me one remember that one that Christina was wearing over her head yeah that was creepy looking head and even the concept of it just seemed weird alright so now I am going to throw one more protective layer of bolly wrap in there because this section this is my pride and joy my money piece so it's going to be a slightly different direction that I'm going to over direct it into because in thinking about where you want the highlight to be sitting when it's at its boldest it's going to be more down how she's going to wear her hair but I do still want to put some strength in so that when she pulls it back it also has some presence so this being that money I'm going to split the diff rather than go all the way back for like a ponytail or all the way down for at rest I'm going to go about half way what do you mean by money piece so the two strong highlights that I do the money piece around the part okay that's what I'm considering money piece to do some good very in very very hot doing those bold highlights right at the hairline part it's what sort of ties everything together we were getting brighter as we came up to the front and then bam star the show so I'm going to not go all the way down at zero not all the way up at 90 we're going to go at a rough 45 you like that it's got so technical there bring some hair cutting into it what's that gotta keep gotta keep impressing you man alright Susan they do have a snap cap mannequin that's actually really good you don't use those because I think we're just always creating multiple looks on multiple mannequins but if you were just training and you just needed one mannequin and you want to just replace the hair snap cap so when I do these money piece strong highlights rather than just doing one giant with my lightener I like to do a lot of skinny little highlights that come together very quickly I feel like this gives you the power of a nice strong bold highlight also the softness for it to grow out without being too strong and having too harsh of a line of demarcation so I've got three highlights all together that when this hair is down and when it's done they're very quickly going to become that one large concentrated highlight lots of saturation go big and then transfer that to the paddle quite early because I want most of this to be light keep in mind just gotta be mindful how high up did you do the highlight before it this should be a little higher up than that again there's not just one way to do this but there are directions that I can give you to make sure that however you choose to do it you have success every time you love it and then just for processing's sake because everyone else has got that which is going to help keep it moist I want to also put one on the front one so that that lifts at a similar rate as everything else how are we on time do we need to see the other side do we want to see the other sign are we running out of time we're running out of time it's 11 o'clock let's just take some questions the other side is the exact same time start at 9 o'clock to the top is this called a free hand highlighting technique and then yes the pivot point pivot point snap caps are sold from pivot point you just buy the head with hair on it and then you can connect different types of hair to it so it just kinda screws on the top it's pretty cool it's pretty cool it works really well and then there's how would you do a money piece somebody that parts the hair on the side I would do the same thing I would just do it wherever they part their hair I like to think of it as wherever their part is make a little triangle with the part splitting your triangle in half so I will look at the hairline there's the base of your triangle and then bring it up to the point and then that would be your money piece wherever the part is whether it's in the center or off to the side this is what you focus on to give you that pop of a money piece cool, yeah, balayage means kind of like I mean sweeping but it's a hand painting free hand how many mannequins do you go through in a week quite a few we do classes everyday but we recycle them in ways of this when we kept a long one length instead of cutting it short so that we could do more haircut oh yeah you'll be seeing more of this yeah I'll cut that one or you know we'll figure it out because now Matt gets nice exciting colored mannequins for his cutting class instead of fresh out the box boring smart so do you want to see the starburst that was the last thing I wanted to actually save that comment in here but somebody wanted to see the starburst everyone wants to see the starburst this was the class that I did the block color technique the umbrella with the front hairline triangle the triangles over the ears and then the one in the back where I used god this is so fun how do you not want to just play with this I can't wait to cut that no don't just let's play with it or cut it but like cut very little so we can just keep doing this so Danielle spent days curling this very precisely very perfectly I mean yeah Danielle Danielle's creation there and curls it takes it took a village when Matt's done with this it will officially be a look that it took all three of us to create yeah this is what my hair looks like when I let it grow in I know you're gonna make it frizzy like your hair was and then Daniel put in all that work and then Brian's I am just giving it more personality but the color looks really cool when you check it out like that's what I liked about the block color is that you don't see it when you look at the final result you don't see the exact triangles that were created you just see a really nice dimension in color I actually I should probably have Danielle do that in a class make those curls cool alright that's me now you shouldn't get that hair that's why when people are like oh look at all those wigs and like I wish they were wigs you think if they were wigs they wouldn't be on my head right now alright cool well that was fun Victoria's like oh I missed everything you did because this isn't even what we did
