Hey it's mirella manelli and today i'm going to show you this massive color correction and how i took this blonde over processed hair and transformed it into a really beautiful, rich, copper shade and i'm even going to show you how to properly fill the hair. So you have a nice, even canvas and what's even more great, about this service, i'm going to show you today is you can do this in under an hour and 30 minutes in the salon, but before we get started, make sure to hit that subscribe button and, Like this video and turn on all notifications, so you don't miss a tutorial and let's go ahead and get started. So, as you can see, this model has a natural level. One hair she's, pretty dark and she's has lots of over-processed blonde hair with lots of bands going on and she's definitely ready to go a little bit darker, so she can improve the health of her hair. What'S really important for her is that we don't take her ends too too dark, but she does want to lighten up the base and then darken a little bit of those ends. Looking for more of an ombre look, i went ahead and sectioned her hair into three sections right down the middle and then right behind the ear. So what i decided to go in with was a filler formula using demi permanent and i decided to go in with 8g and 8c at a one to two mixing ratio with nine volume developer. So that way i can go in and create a nice even canvas. Now i chose this formula because these are the two primary colors that are lacking in her hair. So when you go through and you strip out all of the hair's natural pigment, there are no primary colors left in the hair or the underlying pigment. Rather so we are missing, copper and gold, pigment and even red in this case, but the copper is going to provide me with just enough red and a nice copper balance. Now the ratio that i decided to go in with this formula was 30 grams of 8g to 20 grams of 8c. I wanted there to be a little bit more of that gold, since that was a major portion of the color that was lacking in her canvas. Now one thing you'll note in my application is that i'm applying this filler formula right onto that line of demarcation and bringing it down, and you can see that i'm really working it in into each and every single section, starting from the top and working my way Up now, the reason why i do this it just keeps it a little bit more cleaner, but you can honestly apply this filler formula from top down, but i just prefer bottom up. It just again keeps nice clean organized and that way, when i'm all done, i let the hair rest down below and then we're just gon na. Let it process my biggest takeaway here is that you want to make sure you thoroughly saturate. You don't really want to skimp on the application process and the reason for that is because she does have lots of bands going on so it's imperative that we really work this product in. So we get the best saturation possible. Now, if you're wondering why i decided to go in with a level eight, let me go ahead and explain exactly what we're going for here. So she wants to ideally be about a level five, six, copper red right at the roots and she would like this to blend into a level six seven on the ends. So, in order to achieve that, i am filling her just a few levels above what our target level is now, besides the filler that i just explained why we're putting it onto her hair, so it can create that even canvas in addition to that something you do Want to use is a porosity, equalizing spray, so this is something that i forgot to film when we first got started in the back, but using an acidic based porosity equalizer such as the counter professional porosity, equalizing spray is going to help close up the cuticle. That has been blasted open so that way it can slightly close and then therefore giving you a nice even saturation and deposit of the filler formula that you're using now you can use the porosity equalizing spray as much as you'd like in between the surfaces like. I did with this particular model, so i used it before her filler and then i'm going to use it again right before i apply her final shade. So just a little recap of the filler. It'S really to create an even canvas and also replenish the pigment that was lost in the lightning service when you're going darker, so just a general rule of thumb, if you're going two levels or more darker you're going to want to use a filler. So i'm just going to let this process for 20 minutes room temperature, and then here you can see what that filler formula does. So we got a much more even looking color to work with that has pigment in it. So for her final color, i'm gon na go in with studio stylus express six cr equal parts with its dedicated 20 volume developer. This is going to give you a nice lift and deposit in literally just 10 minutes and then for her mids and ends where the filler was applied. We'Re going to blend that into seven copper gold in demi permanent at a one to two mixing ratio with nine volume developer. Now i decided to start on the very top front, and that way the color just is on there a little bit longer, but this studio styles express is literally a 10 minute color, so it will be done processing in that time frame. Now i'm going to go ahead and apply this rather quickly, but i'm bringing that studio, stylus express all the way down to where that line of demarcation is, and i decided to start in the front also because when i get ready to put on the demi permanent On those mids and ends and start blending, i want to be able to work from the bottom up, so starting in the front and pushing this hair up is going to allow me to then work in the reverse order. So that way, my client is nice and comfortable, while her color is processing. So once i got that studio styles express color on i'm going to take my brush. That has a comb on the end of it, which is by framar it's one of my favorites, because it allows me to section and comb that color right through that line of demarcation and then i'm going to thoroughly saturate and apply that demi permanent formula. So that way we get a nice seamless blend. So by this time it's been at least about seven minutes. So again i want to get this color on pretty quickly, because the studio stylus express in conjunction with the demi permanent they both work rather quickly. So this is going to be super time saving. For me, the best advice i can give you is just make sure you are thoroughly combing, that line of demarcation down and you're thoroughly saturating that demi-permanent formula and work quickly. So the whole point of this color correction is so that it's time-saving, it's literally something you can do in about an hour and 30 minutes from start to finish between the filler formula, to create that even canvas and replenish those pigments that were lost in the lightning Service and then this final process right here is going to give you that beautiful ombre effect that she was looking for now, once i have her color completely on i'm just going to allow this to process for an additional 10 minutes. If you feel like you need to leave it on a little bit longer for further deposit, you can always change up your formula or go ahead and leave it on a little bit longer. But just know that the studio stylus express is done in about 10 minutes and demi permanent processes between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the deposit and saturation that you want and here's. The final result of this color correction. Taking this blonde over processed hair into a rich, copper shade, so just to recap, we went in with a fill formula in demi-permanent with 8c and 8g, one to two mixing ratio with nine volume developer and we applied that on dry, hair and processed for 20 minutes And we shampooed and 100 dried the hair and then went in with a final color using studio, stylus express 6cr one to one with 20 volume, developer applied that right onto the roots and blended into demi permanent of 7cg at a one to two mixing ratio. With nine volume developer and we processed her for 10 minutes and then for her final style, i went in with smoothing spray on wet and dry hair before doing any thermal styling, and then i finished her off with a brand new kenra volumizing powder for a little Bit of added volume and grit to her hair, i really hope you enjoyed this hair tutorial.
