Personal Narrative: Bayalage

Improved Essays
Trying new things is always important. Even when you have no knowledge of the task you want to perform it is a important to pursue new things. For my technical essay I performed Bayalage for the first time. I had seen many online tutorials about balayage and how to perform this task. This is how started my task, how I executed my task and the finished product.
To start my task, I took a light colored client to enhance her color. Then sectioned the back of the head to how it would start. I sectioned the back of the hair into about four vertical sections going up the the crown. I did this so that they color I was putting on would be layered.

Not like your average foil, you paint certain sections of the hair that you want to be lightened. In a bayalage, you take a sectioning into a triangle. After that, you pull the hair straight down from the growth pattern and how it would naturally lay. After taking the section down, I started applying the bleach to the sides of the hair. After applying it to the side of the section, I then transitioned the bleach into the end creating a smooth look. By doing this, it creates a very natural look vs. a full foil. Besides the application being tricky, you have to watch out for how the hair lays. You want to make sure that no bleach gets on the back side of the hair because when you put that layer down it will bleed onto the last section you did. You can also prevent this by putting a foil over each section. I did this throughout the whole back section on my client. On the sides, I performed virtually the same thing. The only difference was on near the hairline I put the bleach higher toward the face and lower toward the back. When the application was finished, I let my client process for about 25 minutes. When my client was at level 6 or 7 I washed her out to see my final product. This is the application of a balayage and how I performed
