Blonde To Brown: Diy Shadow Root & Color Fillers | Hair Color Series 05

Welcome back to my bathroom, this is video five in the hair color Series. Today, we're going to be doing a root, smudge root melt and, while that's processing, I'm gon na, take you through color fillers and why they're needed when you're going from blonde to dark or brown. So your hair doesn't turn green before we start Bob rossing, our hair make sure you subscribe, I'm here for you every single week on Sundays, and if you missed the previous videos in this playlist I'll put them down below in the description box root smudge most commonly Seen with very dark to blonde, which is what we're going to be doing today, I grabbed some hair color from Sally's we're doing Wella Color Charm in four, in let's mix this up. So this is oh. I like that the packaging is teal. That'S very nice or blue is that blue green teal. As always, we are breaking open. The box checking the manufacturer's directions to check the ratio. It'S a lot of words there, one to two ratio: 10 volume, perfect, I'm trapped in the bathroom again today. I forgot the measuring device, but we're going to be using the top of this deodorant can for our measuring tool device one to do. Oh, that smells good enough tin volume we're using the Sally's brand Salon care. So two of these for a one to two ratio. Whatever device you use for color one time two times developer, we're already getting messy y'all, I am kind of messy not to brag, should look something like this. No chunks, I'm also going to be adding a color shot to this. If I do not, it will turn green, which we'll get into while it's processing three drops of this. Can you even see that no one, two three, this red is going to act as our color filler? I'M just going to be doing my part line just basically straight down the middle, which honestly is going to look a little weird, I'm aware of that. But the reason for that is I'm going to extend my 30 day hair reset we've already completed 30 days. If you're joining me in real time, this is day with seven times four seven times five. I don't even know 35, okay, we're on day 35.. Ah, this is hard. So if anyone wants to join me for a second round, it's just where we don't. Basically, you just don't mess with your hair, no color, no heat, no styling tools, you shampoo it, but not a lot. Maybe a couple products, but not a lot. Let it air dry and you go excuse me, I'm just getting my very high-tech mirror stay. Humble folks. I prefer to do this technique on wet hair because it tends to melt or soften that line. I don't even have any Clips in here. What kind of redneck Salon is this? How am I gon na do this without a mirror going over the part line? Just a little bit not too much now I'm going to take a wide tooth comb and I'm going to comb a little bit of it, I'm not starting at the very, very top, I'm kind of starting a little bit down calm some of this down. It'S going to be easier to see on the top, so I'm going to start right about here if you're doing the whole head and not just your part line like me. Take diagonal subsections like this and apply the color starting at the bottom going up. So it's not a compacted line, so I'm going to start right about here, put the color on starting Midway, I'm going to comb it down. This is going to start melting or blending. The color take a thin subsection, lay it down and repeat getting all the way to the top covering my natural hair kind of swiping it through a little bit taking my comb, combing combing combing, combing, combing combing. This is going to give you a nice blend. You don't want a horizontal line. You want this to look like it's grown out. Here we go at the top blend blend blend blend. You can see that it's starting to process and if you see that it's too much of our straight line, take the brush the other way up and down vertical and kind of. Do this little painting happy little trees on here when you move to the other side, you want to put a piece of foil. This is highlighting paper or something to protect this when you start folding this over. If you do not, this blonde will have a stain of this darker color and it will be hard to get out. You'Ll have to use Color, Remover or lightener again to get it out. It'Ll create some tiger, stripes zebra stripes. Whatever you want to call it, it will create lines not cute, applying it at the root, leaving my hairline part out, taking it a little vertical just a little bit, not too much wide tooth part of my comb combing. It comb comb comb comb to get that feathered. Soften line, softened line, taking a thin subsection repeat the process color taking this little vertical comb comb comb. Here we are back at our top piece, so same thing, we're applying it horizontal leaving out the hairline. We can get that last if we want to taking it a little vertical just a little bit taking the wide tooth part of our comb, starting in the middle kind of and bringing this down. Now I'm going to take my comb and kind of pick at my hairline to kind of fade this in a little bit. Sometimes when I do this, I tend to be a little bit messy. I will actually go through and do the root and then apply conditioner as a barrier or protector on the ends. So in case I I make a mistake: if you accidentally get this dark color on this blonde, the only way to remove it is with lightener bleach or color remover, which is damaging to the hair. So if you're unsure go ahead and apply the root, color, then rinse off your gloves and apply conditioner on the ends to create a protector or barrier. What I'm actually going to do is go through and take this Clairol Shimmer Lights, Violet toning mask from Sally's I've. Never used this before, but this is just a deep conditioning mask it's really Violet. I'M going to take this, apply it to the rest of my hair, but I'm going to kind of melt this together. So I'm just going to apply it with a brush. So I don't make a mistake: clean part of my brush that doesn't have the color I'm just going to kind of Comb this through. Another good tip is, if you're doing your whole head and you're doing darker around your hairline. If you'll put just a little bit of conditioner just a little bit on your hairline and then apply that darker color take your brush like this, like I'm applying this conditioner with and kind of feather it. That will help a lot in not having that harsh hairline. Also, we should be wearing gloves now, I'm taking a like. This is a beauty, blender makeup sponge. I use it for hair color, though, and I'm just going over my hairline to again make sure that I don't have any of that on my hairline kind of bringing it through the sides taking a little color from the top swiping it through blending that together. Oh, the back check out the back, not sure what it looks like. Let me know so: while this is processing, we have like 10 minutes, because processing time starts as soon as the color hits the head we're going to go over a little bit of color theory on why you would use a filler and why they're needed this is Page 705 in the Milady book, if you're joining me from Cosmetology School, fillers, equalize porosity and replace the missing primary and hair colors to create all the colors in the world, it's a combination of the three primaries which we went over in our first or second video. Second, video - I don't know I'll put it up here, so it's a combination of blue red and yellow to make a neutral or natural color. So if I have blonde hair - let's say a level 10 blondest blonde and I take it all the way down to we'll just use a four since we're using that today, level, four, which is very, very dark. I have essentially went from yellow, which is blonde to Blue, which makes up our darker realm of colors, so I'm missing that middle one, woman, middle man, whatever you want to call it, which is red, I'm missing that red primary. So what would happen if you went from yellow or blonde to dark, which is black? You skipped that middle you skipped red, so what you're going to get is green you're going to have green hair. So if you've ever seen someone or done this to yourself, perhaps where you've had and we I've done it, I've done it so many times, especially when I was new in the salon. I would turn everyone had green hair. When you left my chair, okay - and it was just it just - took me like a year to figure out why it was turning green. But it was turning green because I was missing that primary. So if you've colored your hair darker at home or had it done - and maybe it looks good when you leave the salon - and you shampoo it a couple times at home - and it's like oh wow - this is a murky green. It'S a nice brown with green, your stylist or yourself did not account for that missing primary, which is red to fill the hair. Fillers are essentially just something for it to grab onto to create a deeper natural, richer. Looking color, the general rule for who needs a filler. Is anyone it's going three or more Shades Darker on the level scale? So if you're going from a 10 to a four, you absolutely need a filler to avoid that green fillers also prevent streaking make sure the color is even it again gives something for that color to hold on to feels porosity or uneven hair. If you have damaged ends it's going to fill in those gaps, you could use a conditioning filler, which is just like a conditioner and then apply the color. So one way to do the filler is like I did just adding some sort of red in your color formulation. It doesn't have to be these color drops. I just find that this is the easiest way to do it. You could also use the hair color that has the letter R remember. The number in front is the level how light or dark is it and the letter represents the tone you could do a 6r. It could be lighter just anything with the r or red in it, but just a little bit honestly you're just kind of eyeballing it just a couple or a little dab of color. You just need a little bit, so this is one way to do it in the color formulation. Another way to do it is to actually deposit red on your hair. If you have a blonde bright level, 10 client who says I want to be darker today. Okay, perfect fine, let's do magic tricks. What I would do is I would take her to the shampoo bowl shampoo. Her hair really well condition it and on wet hair I would apply a red hair color. So if she wanted to be a four in our root color here, I would take it up a couple levels and do like a six arm very bright red. But it's a medium level because it's level six so with tin volume. I would apply that all over the head, let this process and you can either swipe it out with a towel. But if it were me, I would take her to the shampoo bowl and shampoo condition it out blow dry it and then apply the 4N over it. It takes a couple steps and, if you're in a crunch, sometimes it's better just to wipe it out with a towel, but if you do it right, the first time, sometimes it's just better. The client will come back they'll. Thank you for it later ta-da. If you just take the blonde hair and then apply the four in again, you've missed that middle primary, which is red so you're going to get green she's going to have green hair. She may not have green hair when she leaves, but after about three shampoos, she will have green hair. She will not come back, then you lost a repeat client. So that's why fillers are important. It replaces the missing primary again, they're only needed if you're going darker three levels are more darker. You need a filler, I'm gon na, let this process for a few more minutes and we're going to shampoo this out and I'm not blow drying my hair soft. Let it air dry so I'll be back later to show you what it looks like once we're done so here it is, and it's still a little damp because it's taking forever. I did make a little bit of a mistake right here. I don't know if you're gon na be able to see that, but I got the brown on the blonde, so that's where putting conditioner on the ends might be kind of crucial. So you don't make this mistake. So, let's see what it looks like when I braid it in those cornrows dutch braids, whatever you want to call them. Okay and honestly, I should have just done my whole head, because I could already tell that's gon na look kind of weird the sides not being done, but it'll look better once that Fades to my natural hair color, because it is a little dark in a perfect World I would have went with a six, but my Sally's was kind of out of everything right now and that's okay kind of makes me look a little bald right. There bald eagle Orange today, because I'm feeling sassy pull these things out. It works better if you use that hair powder powder play, but I'm not using any product or trying not to use much product, but it will make the braids look a lot cooler if you can use some product. I like this. Look this Shadow root. Some people would say this looks like trashy dark roots blonde hair I mean maybe oh yeah, the back. I forgot to look at the back. Let'S see how the back looks. Actually, I'm kind of scared, I'm not even gon na. Look. You just tell me how it is: is it bad, I kind of feel like it's bad honestly, even if it is bad, I wouldn't care, because I can't see it all right. That'S it little Shadow, a little smudge root.
