So i'll see you guys in a second. Don'T forget to like share subscribe and hit post notifications, so you are always alerted every time. A new video comes your way and diane. Hey guys. Welcome back to my channel so just wanted to say this: there's a lot of videos that have been shot over the course of the summer had a lot going on and we were shooting a lot of content, but we weren't getting it out quick enough. So this video is about four months old. I literally just did my aunt's hair about two days ago, so this was shot a long time ago and i wanted to get it out to you guys, because i felt it was very important on some education. So this video is going to be talking about how to foil really well when it comes to short hair. This is something we all struggle in and they don't really touch on mostly in school, it's very, very general. In school. They don't really break things down into very, very detailed things, so i'm going to get started we're going to be using a joyco blonde life because i shot this during the two months i was using joyco and i'm using my friendly 20 volume and a 16th ounce Of olaplex, as always number one when you're doing short hair i found in my career. The best thing to do is to use framar's embossed foils, the pop-up box or the pre-cut box um. They hold in the hair very well if you're new in general to hair and you're starting to get into foiling my biggest tip to you guys is to grab some framar foils. When i have an assistant, i always tell them to start with these, because the flimsier, thinner ones can sometimes be hard slip too much and you feel, like you, don't have a really good grasp on them. So framar is great to do and i'm going in and doing very tightly packed baby lights. I'M talking minimal subsections, which means i can count the hairs in between each boil. You guys do not understand. I spent the better half of the last past few years begging and begging and begging. My aunt to let me do her hair. She had virgin hair, never dyed it once she always says she would never dyed it once, but i know that she died it back. In the day she got some honey highlights and they fried her hair off and that's what made her scared - and i still remember it to this day and it's funny, but she finally came around and out of nowhere. One day was like: let's do it do my hair, so she likes to linger around the six seven level area with a nice grow out. I literally have done her hair three times in the past year and a half. This was the third time i did her hair and it was exactly a year to the date that we took her um a lighter for the first time ever. So that was really weird as you've seen in the intro. Now we did it one more time, so we did our hair four times in the last two years and we always do the same thing we always go in and we do a tightly packed baby light. We like to touch the roots up. She has literally 10 grays in her hair she's very lucky, my dad's family. Don'T really get gray like that. I get it from my mom's side, inherit it there they're all white by the time, they're 20.. So she has no gray hair. We'Re not worried about that. She'S not trying to cover that up. This does, however, play an effect and kind of does blend them better, since she is a natural level, four um, it ends up being better when we lighten her hair. So i'm going in i'm doing a left side a right side when you're boiling short hair. Sometimes there is no rules. Take everything you do on your long haired clients, where you do foil placement, throw it out the window. You guys, whatever the client's hair is when it's short, it's like doing a man's. You got to do you know whatever you're feeling at the moment, and what that client's hair is doing. So every single person has short hair you're going to be foiling in a different way. Freestyling, if you will, because there's no rhyme or reason my aunt's hair has gotten longer over the last year that i've been doing it. I don't know what's going on, but in the back of her head around where i'm working right now, she always has it like a inch and a half two inch. I don't understand it's like that. Hair breaks off. She does do a heat on her hair, but she only does her hair. Once a week uses heat protectant uses olaplex she's on my regimen and i feel comfortable when bleaching her hair. I hate when people say bleaching is so damaging, because, if you're doing the necessary steps at home, you have nothing to worry about. My aunt has no breakage. She has curly hair, as you can see, and i'll show you at the end of the video when we're doing her root, toner and her toner, that her hair still has curly pattern. Um reason that is important is because, when we do curly hair and you have curly hair naturally such as myself is terrible. When you have, you know, curlier hair, your hair is more fragile and more vulnerable, so it can be at more of a chance of having damage straight hair. I find the finer, the hair the many more times. I can bleach it and it stays pretty healthy, but curly hair. You do it wrong one or two times and your hair will break off. I know this from experience with my own hair, but i can honestly say that, with my aunt using all the olaplex, the kendra products, everything i tell her to do, she stays on top of it and her hair. I do not feel scared by overlapping. As you see, i'm focusing on her root area, but i do feather down to the pre-line ends. I just distribute my product a lot more at the top on the virgin hair and then take whatever's left on the brush and just feather it slightly over the lighter hair on the ends that will pop that cuticle open, because we don't want to get hot roots. Where is the line between dreaming and feeling blue it's four o'clock in the evening i haven't left my room, but the truth is, if i'm honest, i feel stuck here in the middle. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here, or should i let go hoping change is gon na find me well when it comes to foiling short hair? One of the worst parts is those little hairs in the subsection getting stuck and coming back up into the foil that you're about to apply product on easily i'm used to doing it. So it's like second nature to me to pull it down with my pinky finger and then try to just apply the foil up above it, as you see i'm doing here. But if it really is bothering you that bad and you're having that much of an issue, be sure to take a clip, take the extra second clip that hair down against the other foils you've already done and make sure it's really out of the way. Because you guys don't want any of that hair creeping back in or have half of it in the foil half of it, not because that's gon na cause things that start looking like bleeders. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let go do? Can you tell me what you can you tell me what i need? Can you tell me what you see in me? I just feel stuck here in the middle. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let god now working my way around her hairline on the last section, as you can see, i did a bang box for the money pieces but, as i said a few minutes ago, when you're doing short hair, you got to Kind of like go with the flow. I did a slanted money box because her hair is always going to the left on the left side. So i want that piece to look really beautiful and pop and bright guys. Honestly, the color we're going for is going to be more of a solid appearance, because we're doing so many foils - and i know a lot of you - are going to ask: why do all the foils and not just do an all-over color? First of all, i don't like permanent if you've been following me for a while. You know that permanent color will act very warm, because it's going to lift all the underlying pigment out and be exposed bleach eats it up. I like to lift her to at least a level eight, because then i like to deposit the six or seven on top of that, because then, when it fades, it can go months and she has not a lot of warming or banding or breasts. None of that - and there is some slight dimension, but because i pack these baby lights so tightly together, every two sessions like i did two days ago. This is the time before two days ago, as i said earlier, but two days ago, i did her hair and, i did add a low light. I always add a 5g 5n and that adds some dimension back in there and we have to do it every two times, because she does like a little pop of dimension and have some pieces that look really flowy together. But this is why i say: baby lights are great to do when you're doing minimal subsections for people who want to platinum blonde, but don't want the harshness of having to come every four weeks to put bleach on the scalp or have that harsh line. You can do the foil work and i don't mind doing the foil work. If that client wants it and it's going to have a beautiful grow out in a beautiful color. Remember guys you get what you put out, you don't always have to do 3000. Foils, i'm choosing to do that for my aunt, because we want it to be more solid appearing with less dimension. But if somebody wanted to come in and just have pieces that pop you can always leave bigger sub sections out, which is what's in between each foil. Here i'm doing a back to back whatever is weaved out of the weave. That'S all that's left in between i'm not taking and leaving a quarter inch or anything like that. You can, but i'm not doing that in particular, for this client and 90 of my clients usually want to pack back to back. Where is the line between dreaming and feeling blue it's four o'clock in the evening i haven't left my room, but the truth is, if i'm honest, i feel stuck here in the middle. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let go hoping change is gon na find me, you don't have to remind i'm doing nothing at all. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let go? Can you tell me what you see all right? All the foils are now in i'm gon na let her process for approximately 45 minutes without heat. I always like to use a lower developer and let them cook low and slow i'd rather have them sit and wait and be bored and have a glass of champagne or something like that than to use heat or a 30 or 40 and blow their cuticle. For her toner, i always use 7p 7nb, 6n 6gb. I always love this formula on her. This is what i use the first time and i've decided to continue to use it because it's perfect for her hair and it's a perfect level. Six and a half. I know that when you're about to do a root toner, whether it's a tap shadow or smudge, on somebody who only has three inches of hair, it can be very, very intimidating and very scary. So make sure - and i do this with all clients anyway, because when i comb through to blend you want to make sure that you don't get any splotchiness or have any traveling of that color going down too far. So i made sure i have a lot of olaplex number, two all over her hair. I worked it all the way through with just minimal amounts on the root area. What this is gon na do, and plus our hair, shorter you're gon na see me do something. I normally don't over the course of working with an assistant. You did see me, you know let them sit up. Put the olaplex number two on the ends, do the root and then follow it with the toner. Let everything process. But if you go back months months months months months ago last year, you guys know i always lay them back after i rinse out the root shadow and i put the toner on and give them a head massage, while they're in the bowl. I'Ve gone back to that. I have tweaked and done a couple of different things, but when you are doing this, this was shot months ago. So it's going back but because i want her to have more of that color sitting on and actually tone everything really down. Not just have a tonal shift, but we want that color to be a six and a half. I go and i apply the 5n 5n a. I literally use a drop of 5na because she lifted well and now i'm going through and i'm doing a slight slight shadow, sometimes you'll see me, take my brush and feather backwards. That helps me prevent any dragging of the product. Too far, i've been doing this for a long time. I'Ve done her hair a million times, so i know how to do it this certain way, but it's hard to explain you guys. Just take your time, there's no rush, you rather do it and place it in the right amount of inch than for you to drag it too far and cover all that beautiful blonde you just lifted to. So we are doing what i call a shadow. You see. I'M only taking it about an inch, and i want there to be that beautiful color, but i'm also not trying to drag it down too far to where it starts covering up my blonde. She has short hair, it's very, very difficult to do this. That'S why i say make sure you have enough conditioner or olaplex 2 on the ends, even with her. I ran it through her whole head. Sometimes i'll just do the mids and ends, but when you have short hair you just don't want to take that chance. Also, keep in mind that, even though i don't want there to be a big huge pop of a money piece, i'm just stuck in my ways and i still section the hairline off until the end. Then i'll go back apply the tap around the face, because i don't want it to be drugged down too too far and i'll do like a tap less than an inch, which is what i consider um and then i'll go. And after i'm done with that comb. It through blend it through and i'm going to leave the 5n 5na on and i'm going to leave that on at the same time as i apply her all over color and i'm going to let everything process together for 20 minutes, because i want to do this. As a real all-over, color, think of it as me, just putting on all over down my permanent doing the roots first and doing the ends last. That'S what i'm doing, because i wanted to tone down and get to that perfect level. Six and a half - i'm not just doing a five minute flash toner, where i just want to tone out any brass hope that makes sense. I do have a video coming where i break down my root: tap shadow and smudge i'll. Try to link the video that i did two years ago when i first started my channel on that basis of how i did it back then, and you'll see on the new video, an updated version that i have tweaked some things, and i think you guys will Like the way i started doing it, it's four o'clock in the evening i haven't left my room, but the truth is, if i'm honest, i feel stuck here in the middle. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let go hoping change is gon na find me, you don't have to remind me i'm doing nothing at all crazy. I let go. Can you tell me you tell me what you see in me? Can you tell me what i need? Can you tell me, i just feel stuck here in the middle? Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let go? Where is the line between dreaming and feeling blue? It'S four o'clock in the evening i haven't left my room, but the truth is, if i'm honest, i feel stuck here in the middle. Am i one of those crazy people? Should i stay here or should i let go hoping change? Is gon na find me? You? Don'T have to remind me i'm doing nothing at all of those crazy people. Should i stay here all right guys. So once i applied all over the toner and i combed everything through i let her process for about 20 minutes on the clock and then once we were done, we conditioned, we blew her out, we flat ironed her and we were left with this after we trimmed Her tell me what you guys think about this final result. We are totally obsessed and it came out beautiful as always that matches her skin so well. My aunt looks so great with these warm tones, alright, guys that's gon na do it for today. I know you guys, like the longer videos, let me know down below what you liked about it. What you want to see in the future, i want to make sure i'm always putting out content. You guys want to see these pictures were from when i did her hair two days ago that video was from when i did it this time in this video three months ago. So you can see the color is always the same, but two days ago i did add a low light, so it does pop it a little bit more, alright guys, as always thank you guys for the love and the continued support. I'Ll see you in the next one, as always so long for now, um
