Video: Adding Dimension When Balayage Is Too Blonde
What do you do when a balayage client who typically rocks a lot of dimension suddenly becomes too blonde all over? (It happens!) We caught this trick—using lowlights, backcomb balayage and conditioner as a blending agent—from @jamiedanahairstylist for adding bright, bold dimension back into hair strands. Watch the video below with the SOUND ON for all the details, then get the steps below!

Adding Dimension When Balayage Is Too Blonde
Here’s what Jamie did and why it works:
Step 1: Lowlight
-
Create a section and split in two. Weave out the top section and clip away, then weave out the bottom section and lowlight the hair with Goldwell Colorance 7N + 7G + Cover Plus Developer Lotion.
-
To create the most dimension, lowlight every section.
-
Work with 1-inch sections before splitting the hair in two.
-
Step 2: Tease & Condition
-
Tease the top section that was first weaved out, and apply Goldwell Dualsenses Color Conditioner from the midlengths up toward the root to act as a blending agent.
-
To avoid unintentional warmth or spots in the color, use a lightweight conditioner.
-
Step 3: Balayage & Tone
-
Balayage from mids to ends using a 30-volume developer on darker strands and 10-volume developer on lighter pieces.
-
Let process, then tone globally with your favorite formula.
