Watch: Jack Winn’s Tips For Soft Diffusion In The Money Piece
What makes a beautiful money piece? A seemingly sun-kissed blend and a POP of brightness around the hairline.

1. Choose The Right Lightener & Tools

• After using a classic foil and lightening technique around the head for optimal lifting, Jack switches up his tools. Jack swears by Jack Winn Color Brilliant Paint Lightener for balayage. This freehand-paint lightening powder has the lift of a conventional lightener but the separation of a balayage lightener.
• For hair painting around the face, Jack works with a chip brush because the durable bristles help him achieve soft diffusion instead of harsh lines.

2. Consider The Point Of Impact

“The word balayage translates to sweep,” shares Jack. “So I think about a soft sweeping motion as I work.” Jack takes a panel and starts the application of Brilliant Paint Lightener at the point of impact—aka where you want to see the most brightness. Then, work lightly toward the top to achieve a soft blend.
