Brunette To Pastel Lavender Hair Transformation | Short Pixie Cut Haircolor Tutorial

Hey guys today, we have a really fun transformation. I have a client, that's coming in she's got short hair and she's about a level six naturally, and she hasn't colored her hair in a while, and so we're gon na take her platinum with a lavender overlay. So, let's get started welcome to my youtube channel. I'M so excited to have you guys here today. Today we have a really fun transformation. Now I used to have a lot of her hair, so I love turning people lavender and kind of that smoky lavender. So I want to show you guys exactly how you first transition somebody from a virgin state apparent to a platinum and then how to formulate for kind of a smoky or pastel versus those bright pastels. So if this is something that you are interested in and make sure to keep watching and I'm going to share with you guys all my tips and tricks on how to do that, so let's get started. So this is our starting canvas. You guys can see. She has a little bit of red in there, but she's been growing out really diligently. So it's just the last little tips. If we need to trim it off, we will but we're definitely going to start applying the lightener to the ends first and then we'll go back in and apply it to the roots. But this is kind of our starting time, as you guys can see. She'S a level six but for the most part it's all virgin hair. So I think it should look pretty easily and let's go mix up alright. So on her, I'm gon na mix up the tendrá blue Lightner, with 40 volume for her ends, and I'm gon na put a little oil X in it. And the reason why I like using this whitener is because it's a little bit stronger and I definitely want to just kind of break through a lot of those ends. But we are to make sure to use all the pipes to it. Sure the health of her hair while we're lightening it. So this is just going to be for her end formula and then we're gon na reformulate for her roots once her and start to process a bit all right. So we are just gon na start with her, because she's got a lot of these little short hairs in there and going to really try my hardest to keep it off to the scalp about a half an inch and I'm just going to start applying it to Her hair, I have foils enough cotton to kind of separate things just so that it kind of doesn't bleed into here, but we will have to kind of tackle some of this in a little bit so just going to play it to the longest parts first and Work our way forward and then we'll kind of go back in and start applying it through here and then more to the Scout, various all right. So I'm taking pretty fine sections, you guys can see it's still a little bit thicker, and so what I'm doing is I'm making sure to apply the lightener buy into it half an inch away from the roots and the reason why is she would get hot rinses? We applied it all the way through onto her scalp, so first, we're gon na apply the ends and get them all set up and ready to go and then again once those kind of lifts to like a level. Eight then we'll go back through and apply it to her roots, because her roots are going to look too really fast, but I'm making sure to fully saturate all the way through the hair to make sure that there's no hollow spots or anything like that. So I'm flipping the section and then kind of feathering it down to that root area and then the same thing on this side, just making sure that it's really saturated come using my hand as my planchette or like palette and just making sure to really saturate everything. All right so now I've kind of gotten to this side of her head and still trying to be really clean with all my sectioning. But again we are gon na go back through bleach. The roots there's not a huge deal, but I just kind of applying it to kind of some of these areas are a little bit longer before we go through and apply it to the scalp, and you guys can see it's already lifting pretty good in there like. We already got some like level-7 going on, so I'm excited about that and I'm just going through and like literally kind of just picking up these pieces and just kind of applying it through there. I love using this brush from frame. Are it's one of my favorite brushes that they have ever made, but it has a little. I don't know what this metal part, but I love using it because it helps me section and I actually love using it when I'm highlighting too, because it helps me kind of pick out pieces and stuff and I am going through and kind of wiping it off. Every time before I kind of take a new section, because I don't want to get whitener done at the root area, but I just really like this brush. It helps me stay really clean with all my sectioning and it gives me a lot more control than just the regular end of the brush. So I'm just going to keep applying to this little area. You guys can see I'm just kind of picking up pieces. She is disconnected on this side, so there's some longer pieces still in here and then kind of once. We let the top process a little bit longer we'll go back through and apply the roots. So I decided to put a cap on her dish to incubate it and kind of get these pieces kind of lifting up. We'Re not gon na put it under heat just yet, because you guys already see it's already lifting pretty darn good in there. So just gon na let this process for a little bit and then we'll go through and apply her roots all right. So for her roots, I am going to mix that 25 volume again with the blue base Lightner and some olaplex in there, and so we'll do 20 and 30 volume equal parts and mix it up for her root area all right. So I just pulled the cap off of her. You guys can see that we're already a lifting pretty good in there we're getting to like a level 8. So now we're gon na go back in and apply her roots kind of start into our bottom section. First, in this back area, the reason why is probably low start and if we need to rinse it first, we can a person is starting in the front. So I'm just gon na start applying it kind of back up in here and work our way from the back all the way so because she has really thick hair, I'm making sure to pull up these pieces and fully saturate those ends. You guys gon na see that her, it's pretty darn thick and if you were doing this on a mail, client or somebody else's really thick carry you want to make sure that you're taking fine sections kind of pulling up applying to that route and then reassess rating That whole area, so one thing what I'm making sure to really do, is fully saturate all of this hair, especially kind of like I said, a turmeric area like I showed you guys before you got to make sure it's super saturated, because if not, the bleach could Dry out and then you end up with hollow spots or just warmer areas, so I'm making sure to fully saturate everything and get it in there really really good. I'M a little bit tedious with my sectioning, just because I want to make sure that it's really saturate and you guys can see. I'M like taking a lot of product on there and just kind of bobbing it in there making sure that it's real, real good and then I'll go back through after I've done all this and just check to make sure there are no hollow spots or anything that I missed so one thing that I like to do is I like to keep a towel and I actually get this wet on the corner and I'll always go back up and kind of clean up. My clients face this. I do this with every color application, but especially with bleach, because well these little this ear can it can get all tingly. So I'm just kind of cleaning that up for your clients, soothing it with the cool water, really helps just make the client experience that much better, alright, so right around in the front, I actually switched to 30 volume on the roots, because everything else is in City. On for a little bit, so I want to kind of process all the same, and you guys can still see. I am still still taking finer sections just to make sure that everything's, saturated and trying to be as clean as possible. Obviously doing kind of all over global bleaches can be a little messy, but just trying to stay as systematize and as clean as possible. While we're doing this alright, so now, I'm going back through and just making sure to really saturate everything. Can you guys see these like little pieces right here like those are areas that just didn't get fully saturated? You obviously want to make sure that those are saturates. So I done kind of my sections this way now, I'm going through and kind of crushed checking them and just making sure that everything's really saturated and that there's plenty of Lightner where I need it. One thing that I do make sure to do is obviously I was using this brush. I was using this brush with the metal comb on the end. I wouldn't go back through to double-check and cross-check with this, just because I want to make sure that we're not gon na like hurt her scalp or scratch it in any way. So I actually went through it, which is a more blunt brush to just make sure to saturate it just cuz. We want to be gentle on her scalp, and another thing that I was just explaining to my assistant is this area because it's a blue base Lightner. It looks like it's almost done, but it's actually not it there's still quite a bit of yellow in here. It'S like a level 8. We want to get it to like a level 9 or lighter. So this is perfect cuz. It'S probably gon na lift up just to about the point when her roots are done. So it's good timing, wise and I think it's gon na be perfect. So I'm gon na continue to apply to her roots and make sure to cross-check everything and then we'll probably put a little cap under it for a few minutes and then she'll be ready, rinse all right. So now I'm gon na mix up her lavender color and I'm always going to start with a base of conditioner. Now this is just any white conditioner, it's not really any like brand name or anything just say: white conditioner. It doesn't really matter. This is what I use instead of mixing clear, so I really like it and I'm gon na start with this conditioner base, so I'll pump a lot into my bowl first and then I'm gon na go in and add in our colors, but the biggest thing is Because we're going for a really soft pastel, we want to make sure that we're not mixing too dark. So we'll get a good amount of conditioner in there and the two colors that I've chosen to use are the joy, Co, intensities, amethyst purple and the cobalt blue, and then my secret sauce, a little bit of probe on a black and the reason why I'm using This is if we were to just mix these two together with the conditioner. It would come up more of like a bright purple. More Vicky. I almost call it a cotton candy-like vibrant. This is actually gon na smoke it out a little bit and take away that light vibrancy to me, it's a little bit more of a classy color and it's what makes my pot that my pastels really stand out from a lot of other people. So I'm gon na mix it up here biggest key that you want to make sure is when you're mixing you just do a tiny, tiny little bit to begin with, especially purple. It'S a really vibrant, so we're just gon na mix a tiny bit in there tiny bit of blue. You guys can see a little tiny bit. Then I'm gon na mix it up and you guys will watch how it'll completely darken up that formula and G one's kind of more of a periwinkle purple. That'S why I'm adding in the blue, just a straight purple, will kind of turn into like a Barney color purple. So in fact my formula is actually a little bit more cobalt than it is even the amethyst just because the amethyst has such pink undertones. You guys can see edit equal parts there and it's already still pretty pink, so I'm gon na add a little bit more blue. So a lot of times I actually add more blue than I even add purple, and it's just because that's how it turns out and now I'm gon na take my Pravana black and I'm just gon na do a tiny little dot in there and what this is Gon na do is it's gon na smoke out my color again just kind of make it more of a smoky purple, lavender versus like such a boy lavender the cool thing. The reason why I like the Pravana black versus other blacks and versus like pulp riot or even joy, goes black. A lot of those ones have blue undertones. To me, this probe on a black has like more of just a neutral undertone okay. So now, once I kind of seeing my color in the bowl, what I'm gon na do is actually take a clear paper towel and obviously we know her starting color isn't white. But this kind of gives me a good judge point to kind of see like where our colors at it kind of shows me the undertones of it and I'm really diggin that color I'll probably add a little bit more purple, probably deepen it up. Just a tiny, tiny bit, but just by just testing out our formula, I can really see if that's gon na be a color. This is also a great way to show your clients what the color is gon na kind of look like you always want to do a disclaimer that it is going to be more of a a little bit warmer or whatever, depending on their starting thing. Another thing you can do too is: you can also take a post-it note if their base is a little bit on the warmer side, and you can also test it on it. Kind of a yellow, post-it now and know kind of what your underlying pigments are going to turn it out ads. So this is kind of a fun way to test out your color. It'S a great way to share your clients, and it kind of gives you an idea of where you're gon na be at another reason why I like to test out the color too, is a so I know where I'm at, but also, if I have to remix More color I kind of have a good starting base to go off of it being like okay. Well, this is the color that we had. I can mix to that color in case there was none left in the bowl. So that's just kind of an idea. If you have to come back and remix, it kind of it just gives you a good starting off point. Alright, so she's been processing for about 20 minutes and a good way to check the lightener, because this is such a blue base liner. It'S hard to tell she's done, but just kind of taking your finger and dragging it along will really reveal kind of where they're at and a lot of times with bleach, retouches and stuff. We rinse off too quick because we think that they're done so she actually still has about five more minutes to go, but you guys can see just kind of pulling it out. I'M able to kind of see those true colors in there and see kind of where her pairs at even under that blue Lightner. So I got to pick it up. A few spots finish drag my finger kind of see where she's at she's almost ready, but there's still a tiny bit of warmth in there. So we'll just kind of reapply reset rate. Let it sit for about five more minutes and then she'll be ready to go. So now we're gon na rinse. Alright, you guys can see that we lifted really nicely and I'm just gon na rinse it out really good. It'S gon na probably take a little bit to rinse her out, because she's got a lot of hair and you sure gon na miss clean up whiteners. I do like a warm with warm cutting temperature because you don't want to go too hot with the client all right. So I have olaplex number two and I'm gon na apply this to her hair and we're gon na apply this and leave it on for about ten minutes and then we're gon na preach on her. I do want to preach on her. Sometimes I won't and that we're doing like a pastel, pink or something, and we were going to utilize some of these warm tones that I might not preach out her, but because we are doing lavender. We are gon na preach on her just to kind of kind of work away. Some of these, like warm tones that are still in her hair, the icing. So we got our pretty light and it's great because we didn't have to over process her. So she because we're gon na do the lavender. On top, we didn't have to go white white white, so it's kind of a good little in-between, but I'm just gon na apply, like I said, the old Plex. Let that sit up and then we'll go mix up or color and stuff alright. So for her toner, I'm gon na use the pulp right, violet, high speed, toner and a little bit of silver just because she does have a little bit of kind of warmer and a little bit more orange in there. So this is a blue base, is obviously a violet base and I'm gon na be using their six volume developer anytime, I'm doing kind of a color like this, and it's not like pumped out of my regular cans from gold. Well, I like to use a scale - and I like this one from framer cuz. It'S just super cute, so I already zeroed it out and I'm just going to add two ounces of developer and one ounce of color, eight ounces of violet and then like two little ounces of silver. This ensures that it's really accurate, measuring and I'm not having to worry about stuff being inaccurate or mixing it wrong and then just use a little whisk to mix it all right. So because this is a rapid toner, I'm gon na apply two kind of ends where they're the warmest first and then I'll go back in and kind of apply it to her roof area. So I'm just gon na get this on fast. I love that it consistency wise, it's really thin, so you can just kind of slap it in there. Then again, because we are applying this. You know we are gon na, do a lavender over it, and this is just kind of pre toning. It kind of calming down a lot of this warmth - that's in there, but it's gon na be nice to kind of have a lavender over shade too. So we don't have to like worry about it too much, but you guys can already see it working and there's has been on for what not even 30 seconds and it's already working in there. So it's pretty fast. It'S fast moving, it's a really great toner. For that reason, all right, so this has been sitting on for maybe five minutes you guys can see how rapidly it works like we're already kind of at like a beautiful, lavender color. This is really gon na give me a great base to go off of, as I apply her lavender color, but know that these toners are pretty strong. So if lavender was not your ultimate result, you might not want to use this one, but you guys can see. There'S no more orange, there's nothing it's kind of like a beautiful, smoky color and it's seriously been on for maybe five minutes all right. So this is just after that violet and silver toner from hope riot. Look how beautiful this is. You guys were like actually really happy with how this turned out alright, so we completely dry her whole head any time, I'm doing a pasta application or even just a bit up vocationally like to apply it to drying there and the color line that I recommend joy Coe, Oh fry, it a lot of those ones, always recommend applying it to dry hair. So you can see, we've dried it pretty much, because she has a little bit more depth up in here. The toner didn't get quite as much I'm gon na kind of do the sides and back first and then we'll go through and apply the top. So I always just apply it to the roots first and then kind of pull it through the ends after I've done through the section just make sure that your roots are really saturated versus going through and doing the whole section. So I just like to kind of do it that way. Personally, so what I like to do for some of my clients that have kind of pastel colors is, I actually like to sell them a conditioner, but I'll take a little bit of that conditioner out and actually mix up their formula for that, so that they can Refresh their color at home, so I'll literally just kind of squirt, this into kind of a little container. I get these at like the dollar store, there's like eight of them for a dollar super cheap, but they can keep this in their shower and refresh their colors. So it's keeping their hair a little bit low maintenance and it's actually making it look good in between visits so, like I said I'll, just kind of squirt, some out and then mix in some of their color for them and they're excited, because not only do they Get a really good promotional, conditioner, but they're also getting their color treatment. All right - and here is our final look. Oh my gosh, you guys so good. I'M obsessed, I think the color looks so beautiful. You guys can see all the different dimension. It'S a little bit deeper at the root because we applied it at the root longer and then we pulled it through the end. So you guys can just see how much shine and dimension there is. I love it so shiny and healthy. Looking and that's why I love this formula because it brings out all the different dimensions in the hair and even though my client was saying she's like oh, my gosh, there's so many different colors of purple in my hair. It just is so pretty it's kind of like smoky but beautiful, and that's because we use that Pravana black, you guys. The smoky color is all due to thanks so much for watching this video.
