Color Toning Ombre Roots Of A Synthetic Ponytail - Doctoredlocks.Com

Color matching that perfect, shade of blonde or red can be a real trick. So today, I'm gon na show you how to change your tone so that you can match your natural color we're going to do that by using a product called alcohol ink. This ink is from the Tim Holtz line and you can find this in your craft stores, usually around the scrapbooking section or the rubber, stamping section it mixes down with rubbing alcohol, and we put it into these spray bottles which we're going to use to then spray On the hair, the first thing that we're going to do is mix our alcohol with this has about 20 drops of color in it. The more color you put into the mix the stronger the color is going to come out we're going to test the strength of our sprays by spraying it on some absorbent white paper. This is a sanding strip, but you can use a piece of paper towel. Basically, anything that's going to allow you to see how strong your color solution is. So we're just gon na take our caps off our sprayer. Make sure that it's shaken up, because that's gon na shake your pigment up into that mix and spray it on the brownish. Color that we're using is the teakwood and the yellow or color yellow or has Edward the more yellowy color is honeycomb. So that's, basically the tone of the color that we're going to be spraying onto our ponytail. Now, as you can see, the natural hair that we're trying to match is quite a bit more towards this than it is from our original starting point. So we're going to be adding in these two tones to get it closer to our natural hair, because I know from our test swatch that this color is actually a little peach, and this color has the more yellow tones in it. Both are present in our natural color and both need to be added to our piece to make that color correction. So what we're going to do is put on gloves, because this stuff stains like crazy and we're going to spray this just at the root base. On the underside and what we're looking for is what that color is going to do on that hair so that when we hold it up to our natural color, we want to see if that matches it. So we're just trying to get our formulation right on our underside before we start putting it on the top, where it's gon na be a lot more visible. So we're just going to go back and forth mixing the two colors because it looks like these are actually going to be pretty perfect notice. If we get too much of one color like it might go a little bit darker, but that shade is actually pretty spot-on. It'S a little wet so we're gon na let that dry, but that looks like it's gon na be about our color. So what we're going to do is we're gon na take both of these colors and just start spraying them throughout. So we're just going to continue to spray that in and pull it down until we get the top layers completely coated. What you'll notice is this is not gon na. Do your interior layers we'll have to go through separate those and pull this hair out, because if you lift this up, they're so completely belong. But we know that now this is our right. Color formulation, it's a perfect blend to match our natural hair. So we're going to take some of this up and we're going to continue working on the roots, we're going to spray in this entire area until we have the whole base matching it as it grows out or as it would grow out by the way. If you have a yellowy piece and your hair is more of that silver white, you can do this with a very, very, very diluted, purple as well, and get it to that nice ash white, similar to like a purple shampoo on your regular hair. But more of a purple shampoo for your synthetics, though now we've completed pulling all of that color into the piece all the way around and throughout the layers. You can continue pulling color down further, if you like, but really when you're matching a piece. You really only have to match the base. That'S touching your piece and that way it's going to look the most natural. So just as a reminder, these colors don't match, and now these colors match completely
