Hi James, after doing a full head bleach on my head for the past few years I decided to grow the roots out and do a reversed balyage for a more maintainable look. THANK YOU for this video, the combing technique is so simple and so effective, I am in no way a professional but after endless hours of scrolling through root melts on youtube, Im so happy I found yours!! explained so well and easy to follow- a talent in both hair and teaching!

Hi there! I know the comment is old but I’m dealing with this exact situation as you and was just curious what kind of product you used to transition between your hair and roots. Shades EQ is a liquid so I wasn’t sure if cream based color would work with this technique.

In the mid 1980s I overbleached my hair, I lived in London luckily and the salon I went to put colour on my roots and combed it through and the effect was a fine highlighted effect, I was impressed, I thought he'd just made the technique up for me!!

That comb trick was life changing

This guy is uber underrated it’s bloody ridiculous!

Thank you! I'm a budget girl, and I just did this on my hair with Loreal med brown Box dye.... I know, don't cringe, but it turned out fantastic!! It's beautiful.

I was always told it’s “impossible not to get bleed marks while doing a melt” and come to find out it’s literally how you use your comb. WOW! Can’t wait to try that technique, it will save me much time not having to go through and re lighten the bleed marks

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. It drastically corrected my awful, chunky highlights into a beautifully balayaged hair. I couldn’t get an appointment for 2 another weeks and I wasn’t going back to the place where they messed up my hair in the first place. I felt helpless. After watching countless KZread videos, I luckily came across your video. Equipped with a sense of courage from “how much worse could it possibly get?” I grabbed two boxed hair dyes and followed your video. I LOVE the result. Your explanation is amazing; so easy to understand and follow. Thank you!

You are my favourite professional hair stylist on KZread... you explain everything and ready to answer questions ❤️🇨🇦

Just followed this colouring technique on a client, it worked out just perfect!!!! Thank you so much for making colouring so simple to follow xxxx

This tutorial is just what I was looking for! I went a little too high with the bleach for a balayage and I was wonder how, or if we could, stretch the roots without bleaching anymore, you answered all my questions! Thank you so much! 💕

Thank you so much!!! I’m an upcoming stylist and am about to graduate cosmetology school on Wednesday and I honestly was feeling so discouraged with color. It almost felt like every time I was missing the mark but this video finally worked! I actually did a root shadow and I was very surprised that this time it turned out how I wanted it to. So thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I truly appreciate this video. Definitely one of my favorites I’ve learned from.

You’ve just taught me why I keep getting spotting when doing root stretches!! Thank you so so much this video has been helpful on so many levels!

Thank you! I've been a stylist since 1994. Thank you for showing the technique to reverse! Turned out great!

I think you're just absolutely amazing with hair, and explaining things. I idolize your work, you deserve to go so far. You replied to one of my messages once, but I was too nervous to respond and I felt so bad for bothering you in the first place. But thank you for being you!

Thank you so much for this video!! I haven’t seen one that goes into this much detail with root stretching anywhere. Definitely gave me some “aha” moments as to why I’ve had some of the problems I’ve had. I pay monthly for quite a few educational subscriptions now but I would love to be able to support your journey to your digital program. I learn so much real salon life from you already for free here on you tube that I think it’s time to re-budget my education expenses lol . Thank you again for all your hard work and time ☺️

Omg. Thank you. Thank you! Your technique really works! I remembered using a comb to try and blend but I did not tilt the comb back like you did and it did not work. They way you did and explained everything so well. So I already had highlights but slightly messed up some areas at the root section and tried your technique using a medium brown hair dye (combed 2x since I’m doing it on myself) for my roots and it worked!!! I did not need to use a light toner at all for the bottom part. So we’ll blended in and I love it! I feel like a pro now. 🤗 You saved my hair just when I needed it.
