 Good evening. I'm gonna try to pile on as many ways to say hello and good morning as possible So if you have some that you want to share with me, I'll try to say all of them I was thinking about it in the car this morning. It's like how many do I know? Wilkman Bonjour, this is how I know you have a long ride. It is that's what I got to do It's what I do and let my mind wander so that by the time I get here. I'm focused. Yes, so Hey, howdy. There's a couple more. Whoa My name is Brian here. I'm here with free salon education live got your color class on Wednesday hump day morning Here with of course Matt Beck. Hello everyone Keeping me corraled and caged the wild animal. I am This should be you know what I was thinking about before we started this should be our last time having to do this masked Because it's just us in here true and then next time we'll both be all Vaccinated and healthy. Yeah Love that. So this is what do you get your second one Sunday? Okay, then you have to wait two weeks Yeah, but I mean we're not like open-mouth kissing We're just like in each other's presence and we're still like seven feet away not facing each other. Got it We'll make it work. Yes All right, so Before we dive in Matt, do you want to run through your rules and everything that you you do? Yep so Guys welcome to the show If you guys can do us a favor and if you have a question type cue put in your question So a cue before the question If you've watched this show before you guys know we need your help Throughout the the class if somebody's new to the show and they're asking questions just help answer in the chat You know what our website is our shop What Brian said what he's doing because they're gonna jump in late you guys know the drill so Type cue if you have a question. I'll get it up there for Brian and then if you have If you can help out in the chat, that's that's all we ask and please hit the share button Let's get this room as big as possible. It's growing right now. Let's keep it going. Yeah, let's get out there sweet all right so Today I decided to continue with it's not really a series but continue with the the vibe of Highlighting for haircuts highlighting for specific looks specific haircuts specific styles and Doing what you want to do to get there. So Matt did this really cool short haircut last week Was it yes? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, and said like hey, why don't you highlight this? So I said, okay, so I took it home port a glass of wine put on Disney Plus and Just started playing with the haircut seeing where I felt like we could really put some energy to make this thing Just come to life. It was a cool haircut and you can use color very simply to really elevate a haircut and Looking at it, I noticed he had lots of like cool PC Jaggedy pieces here and there and we've got this long bang going in the like the top of the hair And it's disconnected from here. So I thought let's do some really cool balayage Let's just showcase where the eye should travel with this hair to show all that texture that he's got in there because an overall color would be pretty but she was one color at the start and you Lose some of the texture, especially if you're not styling it like this every single day like Your guests might necessarily not be Whipping out a flat iron and wax and pulling all this every day So color will help to show the texture that you've put into the haircut even when the hair isn't styled all the way out like this So that sounded good. Sounded good. Is there anything about the haircut you want to hit on? No, technically just time to go watch the class. Yeah, I mean it was definitely a class from last week I think it was our Tuesday class last week. So if you guys want to go back and watch the cut But yeah, it's just like it's a fringier pixie cut. So Couple things that I liked this one's a little bit different than the pre done that you're doing I had to change it up a little bit. Otherwise. It's a waste of a cut kind of but This one's fringier a little bit because I over directed everything up to the parietal and cut it there So it pushed that weight down. So, you know, go back watch when I notice there's a little more Like it's fringier everywhere. That's what I kind of meant. Oh, gotcha fringy everywhere. Not just yeah Yes, but that works because again, I'm not trying to teach you a This is exactly how you do this 100% of the time I'm here to try to teach you what to do in a million different scenarios So that when someone sits down and you know what to do with the flow of their haircut That's that's my goal. That's what I'm trying to teach you confidence Confidence. All right, we'll come back to this because I'm sure you're gonna want to see it because That yellow is awesome. Matt and I had a whole conversation about yellow being my favorite fantasy color And it's like up there on his list as well. Yeah So Everyone gets to enjoy that Switcher out now we got noodles Far less exciting. See look at that difference similar haircut not quite the same. Yeah, wrong way that one's a little poofier But I just I mean I'm saying like just look at the difference in Creating some dimension with color how much it just elevates that haircut cool cool cool cool Alrighty, so first things first. It was funny when I was I was showing Matt like Wow was the mannequin one of the really easy ways to Figure out what you need to highlight is it just turn it upside down and everything that hangs off of the head Let me get from behind it Everything that hangs off of the head needs to be highlighted Because the stuff that's sitting real close to the head in real life wouldn't be long enough to need to be Lightened or it wouldn't have gotten lightened by the Sun, but all this stuff is long enough That would get lightened by the Sun. So this is what you're gonna highlight. So this is a great Point Brian and I love when you said it earlier when you were telling me about it But I'm also thinking like people in the chat are gonna be like, well, I can't turn my client upside down So how do I figure this out? Where there's a will there's a way flip them over Yeah, put a pull up bar in this one. Yeah, okay. Oh, that was it. That's my question How do you do this with a client? Oh? Oh No Feeling through the haircut. I mean you can get the same effect By lifting the hair up yourself. Yes, like looking at it. You can grab it What did they say? I used to say about Whenever someone complained about me getting another piercing and they're like, is there anything left to pierce? I'm like, if you can pinch it, you can pierce it and my thought was the same thing as this If you can pinch it and grab it you can highlight it But you know like with the shorter stuff You're not really getting a good grab so you're not really gonna highlight it. So it's just a really random Rule of thumb from the weirdness that is my brain. I like it Welcome All right, so we're gonna be working with Paul Mitchell skylights today because that's what I got and that's what I love So that's what you're gonna get 40 volume because we've got a nice dark canvas here And I want to actually leave this with a really good color so that Matt can use it again for something else Or I can who knows. Yeah, I'll a team here. Yep All right, so let's get mixing Did I answer your question? Okay, let's start with just a scoop skylights clay base perfect for balayage perfect for this scenario I don't have a Need necessarily for the Bali wrap today Because when I did it the other day, I didn't use it and I was fine If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see I this is some of the random stuff that I like to put in my stories Because I was working on this at home and that's a good call. I like your thought process there What? He said highlight first thing go into that with the tri-raiser to break up that heavy front section hot hot I agree, I Love that tri-raiser and it's such a great conversation piece I was using it yesterday and like I blew this dude's mind I was like, yeah, check this out. I'm doing this and I'm explaining like the little bits and why you use a razor and what it does and It's very good gave me something to talk about with the dude so wheat All right. He's asking if you can use tri Onyx higher and higher developer with skylights Wow, I don't know. I mean I'm not going to weigh in on that just because I haven't used it Yeah, sounds cool. I'm interested. They want to send it to me. I'll try it All right, it's a lot of volumes. It's so much volume All right, we want to move. Yeah. Yeah up Come on in So the way that I like to approach these types of haircuts I want to start with the longest hair in the haircut because That's what would be the lightest if you were trying to translate this to a oh the Sun did it kind of thing so Looking at the haircut playing with it a little bit. Don't again You need to figure out where these highlights are going to go no matter what the haircut is so For this haircut I come through I'm feeling it. All right. This is this fringiness is where we've got the biggest Canvas to work on so that's where we're going to start right up here and then work our way back So a couple people are asking stop. What is Holding your brushes upright I have an anti-gravity table from that we're live on Minerva beauties Facebook as well and this is a Minerva beauty My table. Yeah. Well come on Minerva No, I do the upright and it's shocking, but it really does help. There's Four holes that perfectly fit or I don't know for that. I found that perfectly fit the brushes Because sometimes I'll have three different polyage brushes And then I've got the loader brush for the lightener itself and then when I got to go get more or make more I Just stick them like that so they don't I'm sure I've mentioned before I get crazy when Things start to get dirty and lighteners going everywhere. So this just helps keep everything neat keeps everything clean Keeps the brushes from getting Gross and then getting product everywhere. I don't want it It's a really great table. I Just go and get it from the salon to come do these classes because I use it all day Yeah, and I because I discovered early on in these classes that by trying to look cool and just using a table I look less cool because they drop shit. I Yeah, I need this table. It's how I function now All right, thanks, I want to get a good angle so you can see we're just doing this one like no overhead All right, you want the overhead? Well, I just want to make sure that you can see Wild on my forehead beautiful. I'll move Just starting so you're not going to you're gonna want to work away from their face You're not gonna want to brush bleach into their eyes. I have discovered they don't love that so A little bit of my knowledge for you Starting with this longer stuff. I like I'm going to use these in my balayage today just because I like That almost like mini ombre look for short cuts like this So I'm just going to load it up on my paddle keeping my section not too too thick because I want to make sure that I get Saturated through the section. I know in some Some instances you don't love that but in this instance, I do want it to actually soak through So keep your section on the skinnier side, but not so skinny that it collapses So, all right, so here's my start now I've determined where my lightener is going to be now. I'm going to determine how much I put in there because remember saturation is key to how much lift you're going to get This isn't going to be that much lift and this is a pretty dark base that we're working on So I'm going to keep loading up That highlight with more lightener Because the more lightener you use the more it's going to create that nice little environment That is going to allow for a bright highlight I also am a big fan of When I do the v like this Whichever side of my highlight v is closer to the face. I like it to be a little stronger It just adds a little extra taste of dimension for you So again this side super duper strong I brush back and forth to expose anything underneath that hasn't been lightened yet So I snag those little guys Put my v back together Get a good saturation on those ends And then just a little bit more on the back side of the highlights If you are working on somebody and you're worried about getting bleach on their face in their eye, whatever Please feel free to use something underneath this section I am not concerned with her health So I am not She can get bleach right in her eye for all I care Oh, thanks Tammy. I'm glad Matt saw that All right Now you're just working up. We've determined the longest needs to be the lightest So in keeping with the shape of this haircut, you're going to just keep working up the head working with your next longest sections in here Is where the haircut starts to transition from the long fringe Into, you know, the shorter parts of the pixie So I'm going to just be conscious of that because while I do want nice Strong highlights in the bang. It's not the only place that I want highlighted. I want Movement throughout this haircut because otherwise we're looking at a john and kate situation and uh I don't uh support that hate crime So instead of a v because of this transition into the back I'm just doing one off Throw another one behind it Because that's my business Sorry, I listened to tabitha brown's sleep story last night. Do you know tabitha brown is matt? Yeah, christina listens to tabitha brown. Hold it on. I'm obsessed with her Okay, and I do sleep stories at night and she just came out with one I went to sleep last night with the biggest smile on my face because I love listening to that woman speak Yeah, it's pretty funny. I mean I I don't I just hear it from across the room christina is like Listening to it. It's pretty funny stuff. She's fantastic. Yeah, if you want to have like A smile for your day. Yeah for your night It was nice So if she watches this or if someone that you know watches this tell her I said hey, thanks for just being you Erica says love her Right yesterday. I had a client say I just want to be friends with her and I was like I do too, but I don't know that I'm her cup of tea I would be friends with her and I feel like she would probably just be like hey Thanks, brian. Have a good day I'm like, all right. I get it I want to sully the good tabitha brown All right, pay attention. These are the spots where I get real excited because these are kind of like money pieces For a short haircut because it's like let me show the front Yeah, there you go because we're starting to get that right in the front there So this is going to be Exciting so I want to hit this hard All right, so I'm gonna I like to pull it the direction It's going to sit and highlight it because if I so that's actually good And I don't think I've ever spoken on that Especially with haircuts like this this haircut is made for this piece of hair to go this direction So I like to hold it in that direction when I apply my highlight Because that's where the lightness is going to be and that's how you're going to see the highlight If I come over here and over direct it the opposite way Then all of my highlight is going to be underneath When the hair falls back into the position that it's going to be worn So if you just go ahead and pull it this direction Then your highlight is going to be what is seen That's a really good point. You're welcome We somebody said oh, I think it's a doubt. Is it Tabitha? The hairstylist I like Tabitha takes over no different Tabitha opposite. Yeah In many ways Soothing soothing Tabitha brown is soothing. Yes Tabitha coffee is not as soothing I would enjoy a sleep story by her But it would have to be really really sweet not exactly something she's known for Did I ever tell you I sat next to her on the plane? No, how did that never come up? I don't know, but I was headed to a hair show And We literally were right next to each other. Did you talk? Yeah I'm sure she's nice when she's not on camera. She is nice. She's she's definitely nice, but but yeah It was funny because we were just like that's fine because I knew you'd interviewed her. I didn't know you got to like Spill wine on her on an airplane Yeah, that's a fun inside joke because when you sit next to me on an airplane You're in the splash zone. Yep. We were flying across country and 45 minutes into our six and a half hour flight I fell asleep and spilled an entire glass of red wine on a girl who stupidly wore all white to sit next to me on the airplane Guys, this really happened. It really did and me and Christina were like diagonal Yeah, they were like across the aisle sitting there and like they just see all this commotion going on and I was like Help me. Give me all your napkins. Do you have wet wipes? I'm trying to clean up and she was not having my apology And then I got to sit next to her for five more hours. That was Not the greatest day of my life Was that the the same time that we uh got to vegas and didn't have a room? possibly Make sense. I feel like it was it was a trip. It was a trip literally All right, so you're seeing what we're going here. What would you do with your client if you didn't want to have the hair on her face like that? um I might Two things I would either put a piece of like bolly wrap under there and be like, hey, sorry about it Okay, like you have to look through that or I would over direct even more The good part about doing a mannequin is I don't have to worry about it in the face So this is going to be super blonde when you look at it straight on In a scenario like Real-life scenario. This is a real person. She's probably not wearing her hair straight down like this So it is okay to over direct it more because that's where it would be. Yeah Cool. Yeah, all these people saying they would be mad at me. Yeah, I know so was she it was an accident I didn't throw wine on her because I thought she was on fire I fell asleep and knocked my glass over And I apologized profusely Even the flight attendant was a bitch about it. He's like, maybe we should switch to white wine now and I'm like, all right. All right. I get it I noticed when I was cleaning the seats with the wet wipes that Christina had in her bag My red wine was the least of her problems. Why is she wearing all white on a flight? Those seats were filthy wait Christina even pre-covid always had wet wipes on the plane. Actually, she always has wet wipes in general but Yeah And pre-covid airplanes were filthy. Yeah, so I just made it worse Uh, I still drink red wine on planes though. I just don't fall asleep All right. So now we're still moving up the head. We're moving up the round of the head Not forgetting that this is where we're going to see more sun or you know jack knickley not really but This is what would be seeing the sun. So this is what should be getting a little lighter So I'm coming in coming in hot Hot and hard. You're welcome. Tammy says vodka doesn't stain true just danger memories Yeah, but then I wouldn't have stories to tell like these true what oh I spilled a gin and tonic like who cares Oh, yeah, I'm feeling this What I love about these types of situations like balayage catered to a haircut is that it feels like The most artistic you can possibly be Because you look at this and you see what's been highlighted. What hasn't where else do you want highlights to happen? This is looking super like in the void So we need to break all that up because we got these gorgeous highlights under here She's getting a little bit on her mustache. You're welcome So I want to Keep this look Rocking all the way through we got a super shadow in there. So let's hit real hard The highlight towards the face is going to be heavier Get a nice thick saturation to where you cannot see those little individual hairs through the highlight anymore And that's how you know, you're going to get a nice bright bright highlight If you harken back to our balayage 101 I talk about whichever high whichever balayage you're using that's something that you want to achieve If you see how in there you can't really see those hairs anymore That means it's going to be within the little environment that we're creating So it's not going to dry out when the product inevitably dries out The outside of it in a couple minutes cool cool cool cool Again taking a look at this this piece. It needs a little love It doesn't need to go crazy, but it could use a little love not everything needs to be the same intensity That's what I also like about balayage is the ability to control that I'm going to let some of the hairs peek through on this Because I don't necessarily want every single highlight to be super super bright because then You might as well just do an all-over color That's not what i'm going for Kel says next time throw a color cape on your passenger I'm just going to travel with like the robe what he does just tune it in she says are you bleaching her mustache too? Life out loud. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah We're full service here. We make people look good If you're rocking a mustache then i'm going to i'm going to make it match That's not really carpet and drapes. It's like drapes and throw pillows The mustache is throw pillows All right, so now you're approaching the hair that's going to sit atop All of your pixie look how cute that looks so I just officially um Made it so I can put you in jail What all right, there it is There we go There's my new profile pic. That's awesome. My mom will enjoy that tonight. I'm just watching this if I need to use it I will Okay So as that is so ridiculous isn't even nice looking Hey, that was like Happened in the last three seconds. I'm hey, you know what? This is an ever evolving show and i'm into it Just joined show on wednesdays. You never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, just joined what percent uh 40 volume Yeah And then Leanne Burke with that That will a touch up be difficult. No Touch ups with balayage are quite easy um because You don't have to get exactly where you highlighted before I think every time you put a balayage on somebody It adds another layer of dimension and just starts to look nicer Like I tell everyone of my guests that it's their first balayage and like This is going to look really good But it's going to look better when you come back and even better when you come back after that because that keeps them excited that You know you want to create excitement around what you're doing. This is exciting stuff It's really cool. You put a lot of knowledge a lot of thought a lot of care into it So to let them know that you're putting thought into what their hair is going to be Three visits from now that could be a year for some people like that's cool. That shows that you care about them I think the other thing too when I talk about like The question comes up all the time about redoing what you did But when she comes back, so let's say she came in today and she was this brown everywhere One dimensional so we chose this technique when she comes back and we're not going to do the same technique We're going to assess what she looks like and what she wants And then we're going to do a technique that caters to that So people people need to to not worry so much about Replicating what you did. Um, if they loved what you did last time, then it's going to be a subtle Addition to just kind of keep that look going. You're not going to do the same thing right the best hairdressers. It's like the whole You know the the con the comparison of like an oak tree and a willow tree The best hairdressers are willing to like flow with it and not You can't do the same thing on every person or even the same thing on that person every time You got to roll with what happens like That's the whole point of this I I'm going with what this haircut is Because I'm trying to create what this canvas is giving me what will work best for it So I saw somebody else a little bit say asking if I'm worried about it being too chunky No, because one of the cool things about this scenario It's shorter hair. So by pinching To get a section to balayage. I'm already creating over direction so When I take my section and I've got this over direction and I paint it It looks like a big bold chunk sitting right there But what's going to happen After this has been washed Whatever when this gets washed out This section of hair Is going to diffuse it's not going to sit in that exact band like it's sitting right now Basically this bleach is acting like product It's making a spike and holding it still So that it can process after it's washed clean This hair will spread out the highlight will diffuse and you'll get more of a general area of lightness with certain Spotlights where it's the highest concentrated. It does it's not going to come out in this exact chunk pattern I'll reference the lasagna in a moment To show you a little bit more of what I'm talking about So in this haircut what's a little different with this one and the one that matt did like we don't have as much of the Fringy around the edges, but there is more hair in here. Obviously, you're not going to want to ignore that because it's going to It's just going to look too dark. It's like you we've got a big thing here. There needs to be a little bit of love This high point seems to be um A great spot to have like It's starburst. You know what I mean? Like this is it's what's sort of like a callic So I want to have my highlights sort of coming off of this because that's what's going to send highlights around the whole head So this hair will be styled and worn a little bit more forward Towards the face. So I'm going to over direct it and hold it that way myself The highlight next to this isn't a very strong one So this one I'm going to make a little bit stronger to create more dimension And we do it. I'm not looking at questions right now So I've saved some questions. You want some? Oh hit me with it. All right. So first one Dana Dana Dana is saying What is your instagram address? Oh, um, my instagram address is hairstyle h a i r e style My last name is hair. That's how I spell it And I got my instagram handle long enough ago I didn't have to put any weird numbers on it Oh gee um all right and then Does the size of your color brush determine the size of your section of the hair Yes So I also have this Eatsy teensy little color brush That I always bring just in case I want to use it But when when it first came out, I was like all about oh my god. It's so great. Look at the precision It takes forever To cover a whole section with this this really is for tiny little detail work Because you're going to be standing there all day, especially if it's on longer hair like paint paint paint get more paint paint paint So I do have another brush that when I have a long hair Guess it down that is in the same family with these but it's like twice as wide as this one Well, especially if you are in a time crunch or if you have longer hair And you know, you're going to be doing like painting big swaths It's just faster. It's the it's a similar idea. No, I don't want to use that comparison Now we're just going to go with it. That's what it is What okay, I didn't know where you were going Okay, no because I was going to compare it to like a round brush Like you use a bigger one when you want to get through faster But that's not always why you choose the size of your round brush true So really I'm just going to stick with this as its own entity The size of the highlight that you want to or can create should dictate your brush More so than the size of your section. They're kind of hand in hand. I think I answered your question I think you caused more questions I'm just kidding. I don't know. All right. So what wait I already did that keep them going Uh, would you back comb your section? um No, not on this. I don't feel like there's as much of a need on this shorter hair Because For this haircut, it's you can pretty much just get in there where you need it and put highlights where you want them you don't even like As I'm looking in the camera. I'm like too dark right on the face right there like that. I don't love that So I am just going to a little trick Load up my paddle I'm just gonna grab A little section out of here Use the corner of my paddle to hold it because it's shorter hair. So It's easier So you don't really need to back comb because It's not really going anywhere. Wow. That was a really cool shot. Go back to that overhead Look at that. So this is The whatever however the hair was put in here This acted like a cowlick and it kicks all the hair in this like circular pattern. So I worked with it I made it so that when the hair is styled It's going to be styled in that And I didn't even like try for that that was just going with the flow of the hair and now That's how it sits So that makes me feel good because I know Like I just said when all of these come apart after the washing And diffuse around the outside layer of this short haircut is going to be lighter and have dimension to it With some depth underneath that's really going to show off all of the texture that matt put into the haircut I'm going to go back to Couple questions though. Yeah bring in. I just want to show some of Would I do the same application in long hair? I mean However, you swipe lightener off is pretty much going to be universal But this particular way of approaching this was for this haircut Like I have other There's other videos and we'll do more in the future because I really like balayage in case you can't tell You know how to approach I mean maybe next week I'll try a different type of haircut if there's anything in specific that You guys are having some struggles with or you want me to touch on One length hair bombs or whatever you want um I really do think that it's such a a neat conversation because it forces you to start trusting yourself and thinking about this a little bit differently. I think for so long Hair education has been Map this out. This is how you do this and then you will get this result and that's really cool But I tend to think a little bit more like Reformed than that So that I think is why I gravitate so much to this because it's never the same Because the client situation is never going to be the same if this person like this application Will never be the same. She seriously has a bleach mustache. There's her mustache. You're welcome. Um This application will never be the same On two people if somebody if this haircut sits down and they have a very low density of hair Then it's just going to change because as I'm grabbing the hair It's just going to be different so You got to be able to roll with it Actually, it's not chunky That looks chunky while it's on the hair, but this is exactly go to my instagram This is what it looks like after Versus during see how it diffuses It's not a chunky look. I can probably like mimic some of the Like when I grabbed it It was painted on like that You get that strong But then once it comes out It breaks up and doesn't sit in a hard chunk So Trust me trust yourself the clay lightener that you used was Palm Mitchell skylights No paper or foils not this time Um Or was that just an observation are using any toner? I think that kind of I mean that's Maybe we'll see what it lifts to if it needs it then yes And for the for the lasagna look we did yellow. Yeah, it was uh pulp riots firefly Because that's what I had in my house because I love yellow hair and it smells good How long would you leave that bleach on for until it gets as light as you want it to be? These are these are the kind of things you just got to roll with it. You can't say Oh, I guarantee this will sit for 15 minutes. I can't guarantee that Humidity might change it wherever you are the weather might make it Lift slower or faster. There is no set time watch it Don't do it and go have a sandwich do it have two bites of a sandwich and then come back and check it I set timers to keep myself on track to make sure I'm checking every five or ten minutes Until it's done. And then when it's done Then I wash it out if it needs to be toned then I use whatever toner I need to get the look that we Agreed upon before we started Uh palm. Mitchell. Wow. Can I use it on level five or darker? Yeah, sure. I mean It's what is a seven. Yeah, you can get like seven levels of lift with this Level five is very dark. You're probably not going to shoot up to attend in one day But you're going to get lots of dimension. You're going to start The process of bringing that hair to wherever you want to land I actually what's tonight Wednesday? Duh Tomorrow I have a guest. I'm very much looking forward to getting Back into her hair because she had dark hair She decided to let's try blonde let's try blonde. So we started loading on more and more blonde over time She was very blonde and became known for how very blonde she was And then lockdown hit and I haven't seen her in over a year and her hair's super long It actually looks really good. I'm actually really proud of myself because it looks like a nice ombre But we get to now begin the process of getting this blonde back to what this blonde was And it's going to look really cool Yes, I did bleach her mustache Yes, he did All right, what else we got because that's pretty much it like I don't I don't know if there's any more questions I know it looks junk. Oh, come on I avoided jail Yeah, you did I never got caught. All right You're impressed. Thanks All right, so I think that's I logged on a little later in your application Are you going to use clay lightener regularly wanted to see the movement of the hair a little bit We use clay lightener. You're probably not even at this point in the class So, yeah And again to prove it's not chunky You can see where the chunks are when I pinch. That's what it looks like when I applied it It's dark underneath That's what it looked like when I applied it and then you let go And it's more of an area of blonde a highlight not a stripe Brittany, can you repost your question? Um, because I don't see it. I hope you see my question Is that it? I'm just kidding. I know it's not What's it got Brett hit us with it What did you decide on the highlight combs still juries out still love them? I've got a couple of different ones that I'm playing with But I am liking them. Oh, I think I have to sneeze Uh-oh, maybe not You saw it live folks. Oh, here we go. That's allergy season in New Hope, Pennsylvania Oh, I know. I mean we are in the woods like our salon is literally in the woods ready. Oh hit me How do you know how far to go up underneath? I'm always afraid of what it will look like underneath Congratulations on just graduating. Can you show me some pieces to help me better understand? Of course uh, so I did a little bit back here like Where he had left longer bits that I knew were going to shoot out I just did that for fun, but that doesn't exactly blend in a natural way Oh, thank you guys because in time um So in the back I it's so can you see dimension because I don't know if this tv's just yeah, the tv's just dark Okay, so in here transitionally the haircut Doesn't necessarily call for highlights down here, which is why I lessened the amount of highlights back here because that will start to give you that transition I guess we didn't really talk about that much notice. I have A much higher concentration of highlights up front along with the mustache And then as you start to travel back at lessons and lessons to now That will spread out And give sort of a transition from here into unhighlighted hair as far as How far should you go? You travel it down until like this hair is a little short if I start highlighting this It is going to start coming out chunky if hair doesn't flow Then it's not going to like hold on. What's a better way to put that? Like if the hair doesn't move then the highlight's not going to move If you just sit there and paint something like when I pinch this the reason it diffuses is because the hair moves But if I pinch this the hair doesn't go anywhere So it would just be a chunk much like these in the back like when I Took these cute little fringy pieces. I knew it was going to be chunky It was kind of why I did it But it doesn't give you that natural diffuse that you get from up here So britney's saying she meant underneath the highlighted self Oh, no, I left that dark So because that's what creates the dimension So with this one because it's a short haircut Because I know on longer hair if you're going for a different look There are instances where I've painted the underside of a highlight but here I did not because In the areas where We've got more highlights. I do still need dark to be there so that it doesn't look like you just Bleached a chunk of their head and then not the rest This is a story. We're trying to tell a full story more blonde less dark Into more dark less blonde And the way that I chose to leave more dark is by not painting the underside except on the very end And I think so I think what she's asking is I'm still not getting it So you know how like you paint on top of the section. Yeah on balayage. Yeah, I think she's talking about How much lightener you get up underneath that section? I only worried about the ends Just the ends go Top and bottom the ends do top and bottom that was on the first highlight if you rewind back like I used I took my little it's gotta be some hair here. I can show you. Um, I took my section And when I got to the end I wanted the end to also be highlighted underneath So I split it apart on the paddle to expose all the stuff underneath Use the corner of the paddle and nice vertical strokes while holding the brush Parallel with the section of hair and it will keep it will avoid any hard lines like that You want to keep it soft Even when you're just doing the stuff that's going to be underneath the highlight Did I get it that time? I think so. Yeah, okay. That's it. All right good sweet All right That it. Yep. Do you love it? Matt, do you love it? I love it. Yeah, it's the message. I mean I It is That clean work brah. I what can I say? I'm a perfectionist. Yes. I love I I can't wait to watch the internet for the next seven years talk about It's all over her face. Yes. Yeah, because she's a mannequin and I don't care if it's a person Obviously, we're not going to do that Yes Okay, that looks so good If I do say so myself Well, I got it the internet's not gonna Yeah Actually, they're saying love it.

Yes You should bring this mannequin back next week for a reveal Oh, tell you what? Follow me on instagram and I'll put it on there. There you go Can you use normal bleach? Um, I wouldn't There's no real reason they make lightener that is for this purpose. So why not use that? Yeah, regular lightener. You've got your swelling. You're bleeding like That's this is meant for that use the right tools for the right job You're not using a hammer to take screws out of wood Use the right tools sometimes All right. Well, yeah, well, sometimes you can use regular bleach on this stuff All right, cool. I think we're good. All right. That was a lot of fun Follow me on instagram.
