Peggy, the technique is called "bayliage" (different ways of spelling) pronounced ( BA - Lee - AuGh). Frederic Fakki is one who has made it very popular in the states, I wouldn't say he introduced it but diffently brought it to the mainstream public.

Anyway, it's not really done with cotton, cotton is only placed in between the sections but this does not always have to be done. The mixture of what you are using be it color or a lightener needs to be realitively thick but spreadable. No weaving needs to take place, simply pick up the hair about a 1/4 inch thick section but as wide as you want it to be (thin or chunky) that you want to place the lightener, hold straight out from the head pinch the ends with your fingers and hold, then starting in the middle of the hairstrand sweep straight out to your fingers, the brush should be turned so that its more vertical than horizontal like if you were using foils. Don't recharge your brush with more product but now go just past where you started closer to the scalp and sweep to overlap your starting point, do this again getting closer to the scalp but not touching the scalp... always brushing out towards your fingers. Then you can lay the cotton on underneath the hair you just put product or you don't have to because of the thickness of the product it won't run, nor is the product on the underneath side of the hair so you won't get the dreaded "bleeder". Practice on a mannequin first.

They are many different ways to do this, some will use a brush and a small paddle to run the product out without holding it with their fingers, some may use a plastic spoon, or knife, I actually use different size make-up brushes from Japoneseque because they come in various sizes and angles, I may only need a very thin detailed pieces that follow the outline of the face or fringe so using an eye detailer brush gives me what I want.

You can also check out other hair websites like behindthechair.com and others to learn more about this technique. Siggers hairstylists in Atlanta has many classes and you may be able to find something on their website regarding the technique.

ENJOY

hello- I'm looking for the same picture- Her cut was sooo cute! Please send a link to her cut if you have found one-thxs -my email shopgal22@hotmail.com

Hello,
I'm a big fan of the show. I'm interesting in having hair extension, I know that it is not cheap. But I'd be more happy to become a hair model if they need one. Could anyone tell me the process or the info on how the Jonathan salon find models for the hair show?

Can stylists out there tell me how they feel if a relative goes to another salon than theirs. My relative is a hairdresser but I don't like the way she cuts my hair. Am I obligated?

This show is the funniest thing ive ever seen on TV. This Jonathan guy is so out of touch with reality it is halarious..I absolutly love watching him act like giving people hair cuts is hard LOL..and his life is soooo hard to handle, what a pre-maddonna calling himself not a hair dresser but a hair stylist ooo big difference johnny boy, your job not only is not an important one but the fact people pay you so much to cut there hair just shows the bigger problem with our country in general.. Jonathan is the reason the rest of the world hates us so much... anyway i have never in my life seen something more conceited than looking in the mirror and saying "if this doesn't work for me nothing will" LOL what an idiot... I love how cool he thinks he is with his trendy as hell little tattos on his arms and his benz (which seems to be the main character in the show, which is understandable because trying to make a show around this guy must really be tough for the producers) .. "I'm so stressed out" what a girl , you cut hair haha, you dont even work, you sit there and cut hair to listen to this guy say the things he says while pullin 5 bills for a cut is vary eye opening to me , to know there are people out there with two kids no husband and work 60 hrs a week just to bring in 5 bills a WEEK...and then to turn around and watch this girl complain about his life is a riot.. I wish so much this guy would lose his stupid litle shop and have to actually work for one full day (real work) so if you read this johnny just know you not only come off as the biggest idiot on TV (and thats sayin somthin) you are the biggest idiot on tv...and in that case maybe the entire country. I love the forced crying at the shrinks place to awwww how cute~!!~ "i cant do it, its to much for me to handle, all of the hair to cut" HAHAHAHAHA ...Johnny you do know that you have the easiest life ever compared to 98% of the people watching this show, i wonder if you can even understand that?? do you? or do you genuinly think that your life is tough in anyway shape or form.. people like you make me want to throw up and the people who pay an idiot like you are just retarded. It is really a shame to think someone like you has that $ when there are so many people in this world who actually desserve that money, and some fool like you has it, it really is a shame when i think about it. I hold you johnny girl as an example of why there must not be a god, if someone as shallow , trendy, out of touch w/ reality,and FAT haha, has what you have and so many people out there who are curtious, nice, hard working, and break there backs to get by have nothing. If you came to work with me for one day you'd be crying calling your shrink by noon. By the way you are not tough dude, im sorry but your the furthest thing from being tough your closer to gay than tough..west hollywood lol come to buffalo and see how tough you are, .... god your soo out of touch dude, do you actually watch the show and not crindge at yourself , if i was you i'd read the newspaper and see all of the people suffering in this world and id realize , o my god im the luckiest fool in the world, you should be donating 400 of the 5 to charity because on top of it all you suck at cutting hair, the local hair solon around here i see better looking hair cuts walking out of there than at your place.. so in closing , i hope you dont completly fall apart from your stressful life of cutting hair, your a barber idiot.. you deserve 10 dollars a cut... and your not that good looking dude, especially wen you take your shirt off, all the sudden your a fat forty somethin with to much money... god i hope you read this or someone reads it to you.. you are just a girl~~~!!!!!! that really guy dude who works for you is more of a man than you could ever be. "all i care about is perfect hair" that statement is the stupidest thig ever, thats all you care about... your shallow as a sand bar , girly ... late

Ha ah you are my hero, I love it!!!! Come out Jon come out

hey! After college I decided my true calling was cosmetology so I entered school in January. So far I'm loving it, although I do find that there is a lot of 'downtime' in the school. I try to keep myself busy when clients don't come in by working on my mannequin and learning/practicing as much as possible. I just think the whole clocked hours thing doesn't make any sense though. Do any of you have some advice for students like me?

Essentially it will hurt your relative's feelings if you have already been going to them and don't like how they style your hair, its like 'cheating' in a way. However, your relative should understand that sometimes another stylist can fullfill your needs as you see them, I mean, your relative could be a great stylist, but the new one could be more intuned with what you want out of your new 'do. If you feel that you'd be happier with a different stylist, I'm sure your relative would understand (as long as you still sent your friends her way). ha

Thanks, LordofHair, for your hair info and tips. I live up in AK, so humidity is not really a problem for me. However, I do seem to have a problem with dryness... I find that normal conditioners make my hair totally grease out, and the only one that doesn't is Pert 2-1 with Light Conditioner. However, I hear that 2-1 products aren't very good for hair. So it's between using leave-in and frying it daily with the blow dryer, or using 2-in-1 Light. Are there any healthier options? I don't want to have my hair fried out by the time I'm 30!
