Color Retouch And Micro-Link Install On Pixie Cut

Hey guys, I'm back and let's jump right on into it. Y'All know how I like to do I'm doing a color retouch on my client, as well as an extension refresh by using the micro link, extension method. Extensions, aren't extensions y'all, but I take the tech cut. Technically, for some reason I can't speak today, but technically I'm doing a braid list. I win I'm just going in with a beaded method and opposed to doing a traditional sewing where I braid the hair and add the extension for the truck fun to it. So we're gon na retouch this great coverage, my client hasn't been in to see me in a while since quarantine, we're here in Arizona we're just getting to the point where we're able to get back to work. So we got to get that color refresh for my client and get her fly again, so we're going in with, if I have not already mentioned it, matrix, colors, think 5mm and what that is. It'S a level 5 mocha mocha and I'm going in with 20 volume. The reason I'm going in with 20 volume from our professionals out there, you guys know that with great coverage, 20 volume is the best way to go, because what it's gon na do is gon na soften up that cuticle to accept the color more off or better. Not more often but better because gray hair is so resistant, so I'm just gon na go subsection. I like to do quadrants with whether your hair is long or short. I like to do quadrants, but the most important thing is that I like to make sure each area is completely saturated, stay tuned and just watch. I like watching color applications, it's soothing to me so just enjoy and and watch me saturate when in doubt add more product than you have to because, like I said, you want to make sure it's saturated so that you don't have spotty color we're going to go Ahead and get a fly so stay tuned, okay, guys. What you see here is some foil and when I'm doing color blocking such as what you see on your screen, I like to isolate each section so because I have the blonde on my clients, mid-lengths and end and her base. Color is a level 5 Mokomoko or like a chocolate brown. I do not want any of that chocolate color to transfer to the blonde, because what I'm gon na be doing it. I'M gon na be boxing myself into a color correction situation and why make my life hard like that? So, instead of making myself go into a color correction situation, I just go ahead and block that section off with some foil or you can use some mesh or you can use some saran wrap, whatever your heart little heart desires, but the whole point of isolating it Is so that the color does not transcribe do not want any of the dark color to transfer into the blonde, because then what I'll have to do is go ahead and remove the pigment and depending on how how much color is transferred onto your blonde or how Deep, they got into the cuticle, which you shouldn't get into deep if you're able to catch it right away. But still, why put yourself through all of that when you can just avoid it from happening? So, that's why you guys see me putting a foil on my clients. Hair is just to isolate the color to make it easy for myself. So I do have a question for all of my professionals out there or anyone who really gets color. What are some of your color, your favorite color formulas when it comes to color blocking, like you see me doing on my client now? Do you guys like to do like a blonde with red roots, or I'm just throwing out some stuff? You guys, like black roots or new growth, we've transitioning to new year blonde. What are some of your favorite go-to transitional colors with this type of blonde? I love on my client that we're doing this color on I like to transition from a chocolate brown into the blonde, which is really pretty and again I swear y'all the color. It'S looking so warm, even though we're gon na deal with this in a little bit in terms of tone. You know, but even after I Toni, the color still looks warm and it is not warm up, but just believe it's how I record it and my lighting is completely off and I'm learning okay. This is just my second YouTube video, and this is the second time like recording like a tutorial this long, usually it's like a quick little snippet and sunlight, but I'm learning how to operate the lighting in my room, I'm gon na get it together. Y'All. I promise you I'm putting that on my to-do list. It is happening as we speak, but I just wanted to deliver the information so that you guys can be equipped with being able to provide services behind the chair. If you have any questions, please please comment below. That'S what I'm here for I am an educator to give you a little bit of background on myself. I'Ve been in this industry licensed over ten years. I am a matrix educator been with the company for about five years, probably longer than that. So I do have a little bit of how did you come with some knowledge equipped with knowledge to be able to help other stylists grow behind the chair? I love to see other people grow when I'm able to help anyway. I can so that's why I decided to do my YouTube channel. Well, it's been requested of me for a couple years now: fo Doran quarantine. I just put them a little go list and voila here it is second video in the making stay tuned drop. Some hints on what other content you will like to see on this channel. I am down and up for some challenges, but continue to watch. You will see me make sure I go in and check each section to make sure each subsection or quadrant is fully saturated, because I do not like spotty color. So I want to make sure I have really great coverage, as you will see, I'm going in and I'm separating just to make sure that this is happening. Look at that color. So when I turn her around it's just the lighting, it's actually cool anyone bids. I'M gon na keep saying it because it is the pace you guys go. Are you guys will be able to see at the ends? Her hair is not warm like that. Oh just rotten but hey, it came up beautiful, okay, so where's the bowl, and I decided that well earlier on that I was gon na tone and refresh her ends as well, because it had been a while and what happens is that when your toner is has Been on for a while it fades and then the underlying pigments begins to show it starts to reveal itself. So, since that is the case, I've decided to go in and do a tone refresh on my client to cancel out some of that warmth, and I also toned her extensions to where you can't even tell that she has extensions like when, once I put it up To her head and rinse and shampoo this toner out, you guys will be able to see okay so right here when I put the extensions close to her hair up and out of the way of the camera, you can't even tell that they're extensions, because I like To color the extensions and match them as close to the clients hair as possible. So that's what y'all are seen here - save tuned! You guys will see me. Do the micro link extensions in it a little bit and then styler out here we go so what I wanted to do. I wanted to show you guys a trick. So if you guys have extra hair - and you guys don't put enough links on your row, you can always just add another row like I just did here and then once I go in, I like to secure the the weft by going over the West again so You'Ll see me sew down the extensions going all the way to the right, and then I lock it and secure it in and then I come back over and start sewing going in the direction toward the left side and I'll keep doing that until I feel like It is enough to make sure that that weft is secure not going anywhere for a long time and then at the end, you guys will see me dab a little product on the hair. On the thread that I do cut off, it is what is it called? It'S like a adhesive for extensions and basically what you do you just tap it on the end of your thread. So when your client goes to you because it's got a me, --, never inevitable your clients. Will you know brush their hair or comb their hair and sometimes the comb and the brush? It tends to snag the extensions a little bit and what it also does. It causes the thread to unravel, loosening up the lift so to ensure that that doesn't happen. I like to use my little tip and trick and just add a little adhesive to the end of the thread so that it doesn't unravel, and you guys will see me do that here in a little bit once I go ahead and make sure that I feel. Okay, with this lift being secured Lots in place and not going anywhere, so you guys will see here her hair looks I'm using the care care stick to lay down the flyaways. That'S my go-to! I love that waxing, but, as you guys can see, I'm the lighting that I have. I have I'm working behind a ring light and then I also have natural sunlight coming in and I think because those two are working against each other. It'S causing a dark cast on my blonde, so it's my car to go outside her hair is actually a lot cooler than when it's coming out to be so. You can see
