How To Soften Your Ombre Hair Color

Hey everybody extending out here from dkw sunny, okay, so welcome to my youtube channel. If you're new to my channel, I specialize in hair, color and hair extensions and, if you've heard of natural beauty real hair extensions. That is an extension method that I developed. So if you want more information about that click on the link below this video and that's going to take you directly to my blog - I love fashion and hair and color, and all that so I blog about all of my favorite things and in this video recently I'Ve been getting a lot of emails. People asking me questions about different color formulations, and things like that. So I decided to jump on really quick and I wanted to talk about how to take and over on braids or over Bali Oz or that smudged routed. Look and kind of soften it and take it back to a more organic and melty looking blonde color I've been doing a lot of this recently because I don't know it seems like after you kind of smudge or root somebody several times. It starts to get too dark or pulls too warm. It starts to fade out kind of brassy, and then you have to go in and kind of lift it back, and so, if you don't do hair, this may totally sound like a different foreign language. But if you do hair, you can possibly relate to me so anyways, let's kind of go ahead and get started, and lately one of my rules with blondes is to lift with ash and deposit with warm and so typically, if I have a really really blonde bleachy Client and they kind of want to transition to that soft, blended melted. Look I'm depositing color! So I'm adding a lot of warm tones to my color or my low-light and if I'm trying to lift them out of that brassy or that red phase, I'm typically using bleach 20 or 30 volume and the trick to kind of blending that is well. Let'S take, for example, you have that client they're just too dark and you have to go in and you want to soften it, but you still kind of want the ends to look balayage and lighter so kind of what I've been doing is sneaking it back to The basics and doing a traditional foil, fine, hair week now, if you've been doing hair, you know for ten plus, you know we all kind of learned with the traditional oils and now tons of the Bali oz and the hair painting has come out and it's very Artistic and it's very fun a lot of my colors honestly, I combined a bunch of different methods that I've learned, so I kind of used the traditional of the coils, because I love the control of the foils and I love kind of the artistic side of painting. You'Re free handing colors so back to if I'm kind of going in and doing my basic full head bleach, we've now again, if you're doing tons of hair painting you're like oh, my god, I have to go back to the bazillion foils and it takes so long. We'Re kind of spoil this as stylists kind of going towards the more organic painting side, but if it gets too dark the only way to get rid of that is or that overly smudged or over on where you look. The only way to get rid of that is to go in and kind of, lift it back up and toner deposit over that. So I take it back to the basics. I do a really fine hair weave. Now I'm gon na post some photos on my blog. So that you can kind of relate to what I'm talking about, and you can also use some of my other work and so I'm doing my full head weed. Typically, if I want going to the smudge or a rooted or a soft to grow out, I'm gon na foil about a half inch off the scalp. And I mean I let a process lift to kind of that. Buttery blond or pale blonde shade and then, if they are probably a little 6 or below I'm all, I'm also gon na do a base to just to kind of barely barely break it and soften it. So it doesn't look like they have. You know two darker roots and to light events on myself. I know I'm naturally a little five and I don't want to over bump, but I just want to soften so I to control the warmth I'm gon na go on with maybe a six Ashe 20 volume on my own hair just barely bump it again. I'Ll put all the foils and let those process and and bump it very last I find if I do a base, even if it's a dark base on myself, if I just leave it on for about five minutes, it's just enough to kind of soften. If I'm gon na not lifted too much, which then controls the more and so I'm going to apply the base in between the foils and then I'm going to take my client over to sink a minute, rinse them completely out, then I'm gon na take them back To my chair now, if you're not familiar with the semi-paralyzed as a stylist and get familiar with one, I love red can shades of cute. It'S so soft, it's translucent as shiny. I love it and and again, and what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na soften all those lines, because I just did a really heavy bleach weave and now they have all these crazy lines. And again I love soft organic milky, looking colors, so I'm gon na mix up my semi-permanent now, typically because I'm depositing I'm not gon na get an 8 or a 9 ash and I'm not looking to tone on I'm looking to kind of deposit a little bit On the roots, so typically what I'll do is I'll mix up a little 7 and I'm gon na go in and paint about two inches down. I'M gon na leave it on for about five minutes and I'm gon na paint really fast and what this is gon na. Do it's not gon na completely cover all that work. You just did it's just gon na tone and soften your lines and again their answer already pretty light, because they've been previously lighting, their balayage and they're kind of heavier blonde on the end and that's gon na just give it a really really soft. Pretty fill it's gon na be kind of darker and then melt out and be a little bit and still have that really nice organic book. It'S just softening your ombre, so nays, that is a technique or a concept that I've been doing a lot. If I have clients that don't like a base I'll file a little bit closer to the roots, you know to break that up. So it's not too dark, but I'll still apply the semi-permanent over it to soften any of my lines and again I love color. I love extensions and I feel part of the reason my extensions blend so well is my knowledge and ability to color so anyways. You guys check out more of my youtube videos subscribe to my channel.
