Let’s talk about ~silver hair~ on a brunette 👇🏽
We can reference the levels chart in the second slide.
In order to achieve the true silver tone, the hair needs to be a pale, pale yellow (level 9/10) If there’s any hints of yellow/orange, the silver gloss/color is just going to neutralize it. (ex: this pic, our first round)
Now let’s talk about what’s underneath brunette hair. When you lighten hair you’re essentially pulling out all of the hairs melanin cells. During this process, you’re going through every stage of lightness, exposing all those red/orange tones because those are the underlying pigments in levels 1-6 (black/brown hair). It’s rare to be able to bypass all stages in one session, especially if you’re trying to keep the integrity of the hair in the best condition possible.
This is why it. takes. time. Even if silver isn’t your goal- a bright cool blonde, fashion colors, etc. all require the same process.
This client lifted beautifully for a first session, so 1-2 more rounds and we will achieve our goals. Some instances can take longer, some hair is more stubborn. It’s different for every head of hair, especially if there is previous color involved. Patience is essential when working towards dream hair. If you take it slow and do it the right way, you’ll see you have more longevity in the color and health of your hair. Keep that in mind 😊
Still confused about hair levels or underlying pigments? I’d love to help break it down even more so shoot me your q’s!!

🤍 Smokey lavender hair 💜
This was her 3rd lightening session. She had box color in her hair as well. This total process took 7.5 hours and we cut about 5 inches off her hair! Beautiful hair takes times 🤍

Lil Lilac 🧚🏻♀️✨ Hair
Color created from tigiprofessionals - just used the right amount of mix master additives to create this lavender color.
You can create this by pretoning then doing a vivid on top of that... but that’s not what I did. I wanted to do it in on solid swift step.
Work smarter, not harder.. ya know? 💟 #tuhhphair #getupperhanded

Bronde goddess ✨
Bronde (blonde/brunette)-
1. A blend of dark and light notes that result in a dimensional, low-maintenance hue.
#hairbyloganbauer #tuhhphair #getupperhanded #bronde #mastersofbalayage #bestofbalayage #houstonhair
Can we talk about this blend !? 😍🤤
She had a good amount of lightness in her hair already, I was just touching up some outgrowth and filling in some gaps.
Achieved this look with teasy foiliage, alternated between slices + weaves for coverage and dimension.
There’s nothing better than blowing out a fresh balayage, seeing your color come to life.. 😩😍

breakin’ up that natural color with some balayage 🤍 #tuhhphair #getupperhanded
This was the first session done by me. It helped that she had been in the process of going lighter for a few years now. My goal for our first appointment was to eliminate her band as much as possible where the old color meets her natural roots. Mission accomplished.
When transitioning into your natural salt and pepper roots sometimes the question may occur, "Have I got in over my head with this new journey? " My answer is, "Does your hair look better before or after you you started this journey?" Things that we create take time to build, and years of artificial color takes the same time or more to remove. Be ready for maintenance (but less frequent then grey coverage touch ups✔️). There's no magic solution to anything really. What she'll have to look forward to are toners in between highlighting appointments for a little while, it's all good if each time she's closer to her goal and happier with her hair then she was before
PS: bleached white hair is not the same hair as the white hair that grows from your scalp. As much as we can emulate nature visually, they can never be treated the same. Hair from your scalp as white as it can be, is still considered Virgin Hair, while bleached white hair is processed to the maximum. Lol. Remember that. 🚨
I love all my color block queens!✨

Second balayage session done on my client Christine 👊🏿
Taking your time using bond-repairing products is the healthiest way to go very light. The healthier the hair is the better the colour will look!!

swipe all the way for the before! breakdown below 👇🏽
Our starting canvas was 2 layers of blonde box color and some outgrowth. Our goals were to add dimension, some brightness, and have a softer blend near the base.
2 hour application- a heavvvy heavy teasylight. I added lowlights in between every other high light- this added dimension and depth making those new highs pop a little more. Root melted and cooled off over all to wrap it up.
So happy with how this turned out! overall was a 4 hour service. She processed quick (bc already fairly light, just pushed past the warmth stage) but could easily become a 5-6 hr service if the starting canvas was darker. corrections take time!! 🤑
Formulas:
highs with oligopro & 20vol + olaplex (kept my eye on it and rinsed as I went to ensure no over processing)
lows: redken shades 8nb
root melt: 7nb
ends: 9vg 9na 9gi

Her starting level all over was a level 4/5. Swipe —> to see how far she has come! It’s taken 4 lightening sessions over the course of a year to get her to where she is now. Of course Covid slowed the results down but her hair is still as healthy as the first time we lightened her! Going light is not a race and if done to quickly will ruin your hair! Always trust your stylist ⭐️

hand painted and blowing in the wind... with a perfect blend 🤤🤤
When painting on dark hair like this, you’ll always want to expect some warmth. Those underlying tones will always expose red/orange and traditional painted balayage is only designed for a few levels of lift.. If your end goal is something more dramatic and bright- foiliage is your best bet 👌🏽

It took two sessions in a 4 month span to get these smoked out locks.
pulpriothair express toners in silver with the additive of violet is the magic potion for this tone.

Got to play with some new shades from redken - one of the tones is called “sand dunes” and I feel like that is a perfect description for this color 😌🏜
6 hour appointment - lots and lots of olaplex but we got her blonde & kept it low maintenance (still got that natural root) #tuhhphair #getupperhanded #upperhandsalon

she wanted to mimic the natural brightness she gets from the sun so we painted an organic blend into this bright blonde. ☀️
