all right so we are good on the cut now we are going to do the color a balayage color
because she has some pretty short hair on the back this is going to be
around her face and then
you want to to it a little bit of an ombre in the ends right? yes
so we will bring a few of the pieces into the back that hang over the top
but it's going to be really like a sunkissed look anything
back here so if you were to take some
hairpieces & like paint them down here in this stuff
it would look like polka dots so that's why you have to make sure that you don't
do anything
on hair that's on the sides and the back of the head that's short enough to
actually see the shape of where you are putting the color or you get a leopard print spot
so make sure whatever you do
you're making sure that you're putting it over that
it'll go from the top and lay over it to shadow it in and highlight it a little bit
alright so now we're going to take the color
are you ready for this
so i'm mixing up the framesi we are using 20 volume
developer and that's what this
stuff is so awesome for okay so i'm using
i'm going to do 4 strips on this on the bottom of the bowl
so each strip to 10
milliliters so we are going to do 40
and this should give us up to five levels of lift
and then we are gonna be toning and we are going to be using
this 9B
Shades EQ to tone it when we are done
i'm going to mix this up until it's creamy
okay so when you're doing this it's really just like painting hair
You are going to have to look where the hair is falling it's nice to have the hair
clean and styled and parted where they usually do it so you know
where the highlights are going to fall when you are doing this you need to wear gloves
because you're not using foils or anything it's just the paintbrush
and your hands and I need some clips
I'm gonna go ahead and start right here on the front side
and i'll take a diagonal back section
and pin that up so make sure you have a towel on hand because you'll be
wiping your hand and cleaning your hands inbetween
applications of the balayage color
pretty much what I do with this i'm going to take
a section of hair about this wide it's about three
maybe three-and-a-half inches and i'm going to take
the brush and you make sure the brush has quite a bit of color on it
it needs to be thick enough
when you paint it down it gets a nice strip on it but not too thick where it's
dripping down onto the person
I do one by the face
and then a shorter one and then another one that's a little bit higher
this section will probably have three lines then i'll paint it down into the end
to make it ombre type
highlights so i'm going to take the comb
comb out that section and they can be pretty thick
you don't want this to be thin because it needs to have hair underneath it
to support that color that you are doing and make sure you have quite a bit
of color on your brush and paint that first stripe down
get a little bit more color
and then another one
then on the last one that's when i bring it over then on the ends
I paint it all down and feather it down
from where the pieces started and make sure both sides are saturated
this is really fun
it looks like little girls when they play in the sun they get those little highlights
that everyone wants wipe your hands
you don't want to get blobs of
the lightener on the hair you don't want colored that will be bad news
it will lighten up pretty quick
I don't use foils for this because I think that
the hair is thick enough in the sections that it lays on top
and this doesn't swell like I said
i'll leave this piece out and do it separately so here's my next section i'll do the same type of thing
just grab a piece on the end and you can do more than three
you can do four or five
she wants to concentrate it by her face
more than the back
make sure it goes all the way down
grab her front section and do the same thing and pay attention to where
her part is laying she already has a little bit that she did herself here
I don't really need to lighten that again i'll do one right by it
to give a little bit more
it's important to do these at different levels
you don't want to look like they just
have regrowth
this is a pretty quick process you do have to be careful where you put it
that you are not getting it on their skin
letting it go too deep into the hair to where it's
getting squished it does process pretty quick
so it's not
I don't think it is as time consuming as foiling
and not as much upkeep either because when this starts to grow out it's really soft lines
i'll do this piece now
okay we are up to the top part
of her head
this one is really important because she is going to see it all the time
you need to keep the tension on this pretty tight
so that you don't lose any of the pieces
right around her face then do a little bit lower then in the middle
then a higher one in the back
the reason why I left the back out is because i'm needing to pin the sides up
and I don't want it to be squishing into that color
while i'm working back there
okay so now i'm going to do some in the back
i'm going to take some sections
and pull them to the side and get them out of the way
it helps if the color is on the tip of the brush
alright we are going to let this process for a little while an check it
probably fifteen minutes it's already starting to go
you can see in the front here so this has been processing for
15 minutes and i'm going to take a
I took this little piece of hair and sprayed it off
to check the color and always remember. hair looks a darker when it's wet
but i'm taking it up here and comparing it to her roots
so it's pretty light and i think that's a good tone so we'll rinse it out
alright so I rinsed her out washed her then I
mixed up the 9B with the
color processing solution and poured it over her wet hair
I squeezed it out and poured it over the top of it
and worked it in this is going to take out anything that's
really brassy and orange and bring it down to a
yellow tone so I just watch it for a few minutes
on really light hair you'd have to watch it a lot closer and
rinse it sooner but since we have quite a bit of color in her hair
i'm going to let it sit in a little bit longer and really soak in
watch it as soon as it looks the right color
you can rinse it out and wash it and condition it again
we just finished with the balayage hair color and we're going to dry it out and all of these
all of these highlights are going to pop right out
i always blow-dry with my fingers
first to make sure that I get most of the moisture out before I start to roundbrush
I think it turned out pretty
so this is our finished product
really subtle sun kissed highlights and a really dramatic a line
