Mermaid Ombre: Dying Hair Extensions (Blue, Teal & Turquoise)

Hey guys, it's Nicole with sono here and what we're gon na be showing you today is something really fun and exciting. So as part of our color series, we have a couple of different techniques and we'll always give you the formulas of how to customize your clip. In extensions, especially when its colors that we don't offer so today, the tutorial is going to be to achieve this. Look what we like to call mermaid, look so blues into teals, yellows greens, anything that can be combined in there. I still think it's considered mermaid. So that's what we're gon na be doing and let's get started so for our formulation. Today, we're going to be starting off at the top of the weft and kind of doing a melt or an ombre into a few different colors. Our first color is going to be blue, so we're using from EC hair color it's a number 6:40 just there, pure blue. Secondly, I will mix into that formula. Whatever is left of the blue I'll mix, some green in to give a nice variation and a good blend, it's number six, thirty, third, pure green and lastly, whatever's left of the green again I like to mix just a little bit of yellow inside and that will Create our third formula, which is for me C's number 650, and it's their pure, yellow, okay, so we're going to go ahead and get started. We'Re gon na start off at the very top of your hair extension weft, just with our pure blue formulation, so we're gon na go ahead and just hold this stable, and what you want to do is make sure also that you're, covering the top, the very top Of the weft or the stone in part as well, not just the hair, just so that you don't have that blonde line of where the stitching is and then everything else is blue. So this can be up to you your pattern. It doesn't need to be perfection. I like to drag the blue down in a few areas, which is kind of different length shorter on some areas longer in others, just pull it down, because we're gon na end up pushing and blending this color in with the other two formulas anyway, but this whole Top is going to okay and the most important thing when coloring hair extensions, at least, is to flip it over and color the underside, as well as you can see how much hair was not saturated right here at all, is still pretty blonde. I lift up the clips and just get right under there and make sure that you are really saturating both sides and getting any of the stitching as well, and I'm gon na drag down in the same places as I did on the other side. Okay and once you feel like it's fully saturated we're ready to move into the green okay. So now that we got the green pure green into the mixture, we're now going to make sure that we just mesh that right into and over the blue, a little bit and again just your personal preference, where you want to start stop and how long you want. The green to be how much yellow you're gon na want on the edges as well, so I just left it on its back side so that we do make sure that we get it saturated, we'll end up flipping over anyway and once I've kind of done. This pattern just cleared through the green. I just like to take my finger and rub this part right in between where two colors meet just to soften it and make it a really good seamless line. So you don't have blue to green, to yellow, so just make sure you kind of softly, rub it and wrote it down. You can see it's already meshed through again flipping it over and doing the same on the other side, and again, I'm just going to blur this line with my fingers make a nice soft transition. It is even better if you can pick it up and rub it through your fingers as well. Okay, now we're ready for the yellow, okay. So now we're on to the third and final, which is our yellow so again dragging it up into the green and then just pulling onto whatever ends are left out. And if you also just want to take it up in some areas and mess mesh the yellow directly with the blue, instead of even the green, you can do that and that'll create another color in there. That'S teal! So going ahead and just rubbing that color in and flipping your extension over we're just repeating that same process on the other side. Okay, so it's that easy just going ahead and mixing and blending your colors. However, you would like, and just making sure that that point where two colors meat is nice and shattered and blended and none of your lines are straight across. You know you can just kind of pull the blue and the green and yellow down wherever you like. So, just making sure that everything is fully saturated and making sure that the pattern is kind of irregular and the colors are mixed well together. So we're gon na go ahead and let this process and then we're gon na wash it with a sulfate sulfate, free, shampoo and conditioner, and then I'll show you the end result. Okay, so we washed and dried our hair extension, and so this is the color that ended up starting from blue kind of melting into turquoise II colors and down to some green. That'S where yellow poked in just right at the ends so kind of fun and cool. The fun part about extensions is, is you can customize them any way that you wish so we're gon na be doing a lot more hair tutorials as part of our color series and you'll, be able to see more formulations and anything else fun.
