Bold Money Piece Highlights on Curly Hair

Learn how to create a bold money piece and highlights on curly hair!

In this YouTube tutorial, I show you how to create a bold money piece and highlights on naturally curly hair. I also explain the reason for my formula on how cool and warm tones give the finish we were going for. Bonus tips at the end of the video is how I styled my model’s hair using a few products and a diffuser.

Watch the video down below and let me know what you think.

Here is the breakdown of my models formula:

I decided demi-permanent was the best choice since my model’s hair was dry and wanted a low maintenance color. For her highlights, I used a lightener since she had some previous color on her ends. The last step was doing a glaze to tone her highlights.

Styled with Formation Mousse and Curl Defining Creme. Styling products are available HERE at RebelFemmeShop.com

Formula using @kenraprofessional
Blue Powder Lighter 1:2 20Vol
Demi 6N/6G/8VM 1:2 9Vol
Final tone 9GB/Beige Rapid toner 1:2 9Vol

My Top Tips for a Perfect Bleach & Tone Applicatio

My Top Tips for a Perfect Bleach & Tone Application! ✨

If you’re looking for that flawless bleach result, it’s all about technique! Here are my essential tips for even, beautiful, and healthy-looking results:

1️⃣ Clean Sections: Start with crisp, thin, clean sections for precision and to ensure every strand gets even coverage.

2️⃣ Apply on Both Sides: Coat both the top and underside of each section. This helps avoid patchiness and ensures a thorough lift throughout the hair.

3️⃣ Start in the Back: The back tends to process slower, so begin there to maintain even timing as you work forward. Plus you can rinse it off easily if it’s don’t processing before you get to the back.

4️⃣ Use a Thick Viscosity Bleach: Mix a hair bleach with a thicker consistency to prevent it from spreading onto previously processed hair, helping you stay in control.

5️⃣ Do Not Overlap: Avoid overlapping bleach on previously lightened hair to protect hair health and avoid breakage.

6️⃣ Take Your Time: Rushing leads to mistakes. Give yourself the time you need to work carefully and monitor lift levels for the best results!

This is how I know Hair Toner is done processing 🫣

But before I share my tips, save this post for the next time you have hair toner anxiety 👇🏽

1. Watch for the color to reach the desired tone. For cool-toned blondes, for example, the hair should start to lose its yellow or brassy hues and shift toward the cool shade you’re aiming for.

2. Gently wipe off a small section of toner to check the color. This quick test can give you a snapshot of how the toner is progressing without fully rinsing it out.

3. Learn the rules before you break them! Follow the manufacturer’s recommended processing time, usually between 5-20 minutes, but adjust based on hair’s porosity and color goal.

Here are the two most important ways👇🏽

4. When the toner looks evenly absorbed and the color is consistent across the hair, it’s often a sign it’s ready to rinse. For extra insurance, I wait an extra 3 to 5 minutes once it visually looks ready. I know this is scary but it works!

5. If the hair is very porous, it might process faster, so keep a close eye on it, especially in previously lightened or damaged areas. Use a product that helps with porosity like @kenraprofessional Porosity Equalizing Spray and maybe use clear in your formula to balance out the areas that absorb the quickest!
