2021 Hair Trends: Color Blocking Hair Tutorial

You'Re live awesome, hey everybody! Welcome to behind the chairs page, i'm janelle eyer and i'm on the ulta beauty, design team. So i've been in the industry for over 12 years and i'm super excited to share my favorite thing with you today, which is color specifically semi-permanent color. So i want to invite you guys in chat, to interact and ask me as many questions as you'd like to just say, maybe just say hi or just ask me any questions that may come come to mind for you. So if you do chat and say hi or just if we, if we do, if you do chat, you do get entered into a giveaway for a hundred dollar ulta beauty gift card, so make sure you interact and let's have some fun today, all right. So let me show you the mannequin that we're gon na go off of today. So i've got this one here and you may have seen her around. She was nominated as a finalist in the mannequin category for the one-shot hair awards. So i'm just going to turn her slowly, so you can see, but she's got all of this dimension in her hair. So i'm going to show you the technique that i use to achieve this today and also go through and show you some different sorts of techniques with also using semi permanence in general. Now i know you may not see this particular haircut super often in the salon. So i also did the exact same technique on a different mannequin, so that you can really see that this is something that you can take home with you in the salon and use it not just on a super super texturized haircut like this, but on something with Really soft layers as well, so this is the exact same technique just on something with a different haircut, so you can still see all those pops of color and all the dimension in her hair. So let's get started, are you guys ready? Are you guys ready to learn some stuff about some semi-permanent colors, so at ulta beauty, uh? We use matrix so color cult for our semi-permanent colors. We have a question. Yes, where did you order your mannequins? Where did i order my mannequins, so they actually come from pivot point, so that is where they hail from, so we're using semi-permanent color today, um from matrix, so color cult, they have a ton of different shades and what's cool about them is they have semi-demi and Permanent shades, so you can use them all across the board with different shades and i feel like you, can make tons of different colors with any of the colors that they have set out for you. I feel like i've. I'Ve not been stunted by the amount of color selection that they have so i'm super excited excited about that. So let's talk a little bit about mixing so um. Actually you know what let me show you her her partings really fast too. So here's the mannequin. It'S actually cut in the same way as this mannequin over here um, so i have her parted off. So this top piece has two clips just to make sure we control all those short little layers on top, but, as you can see, we have kind of this diagonal placement all the way around the scalp and it's nothing particular it's just almost like a star shape. All the way around and then i did leave some fringe out as well, so we can have that pop through. You can leave that out and not colored if you want to if you're doing this at home, and so it stops right here at the occipital and then all of this is just pinned out of the way and it's not going to be colored at all. So all the color is just here in the center of the mannequin, so mixing color, i'm going to angle this down, so you can really see what we've got here and my little helper is going to perfect. There we go. Does that work awesome, so i've already kind of mixed some things together here, i'm going to go very closely to what we have on the mannequin, but i wanted to add an extra color, so the first color that i have is that really pretty bright coral piece That you see in the mannequin and i used the matrix orange alert with fuchsia and coral, and so i did that because i wanted that orange to really pop, but instead of it just being bright orange to add that fuchsia in there. It really really helps make it bright and give it that corally feel and then i also added coral to just add a little different depth to that orange. So as we mix you can see it all swirled together super satisfying, it's my favorite part, so we're getting this really really really pretty bright coral color, and if you wanted to dilute this down, of course, you could add some clear to the color. So, let's test this out, so i always test out on a white piece of paper and i do have one with the yellow tint to it. Since we aren't working with with a mannequin that has platinum hair, we need to see what it's going to look like with that slight yellow tint on it as well. So i'm going to demo it right through onto the yellow as well, so you can see a difference. So what this does for me is. I can see now that the orange or the coral that i made is not going to be muddy. It seems really bright. Still - and it actually looks really well with the white um they're, pretty close and similar in color, what i could do is add a little bit more fuchsia if i wanted to who likes to custom mix their shades, because that is my favorite part. When i custom mix the shades, i feel like it really does give a customized look for your guests, so they feel like okay. I can't get this anywhere else, so it kind of gives them that, like little vip treatment. Okay, so i added a little bit more fuchsia and we're gon na. Let that kind of air out and it'll show us what we're gon na have all right mike sorry, norma's asking if we add developer to this color. Oh, if i add developer to the color good question, so i don't add developer to this color. So this is semi-permanent, which means it's kind of an ink die. It stains the hair. So you don't add developer to it, doesn't need to oxidize at all so um that is not needed. What you see is basically what you'd get so you see it immediately onto a paper, which is why we test it out. First now, my next color that i have is blooming orchard orchid orchard mixed with fuchsia, and i added the fuchsia to the orchid because, okay, so let me show you the orchid by itself: okay, so here's the orchid by itself, it's just purple. It does have a little bit of that pinkish hue to it, but i wanted that pink to kind of pop a little bit more in the fuchsia. So what happens with purples, as you may have noticed, is it does tend to fade green. So if i add that pink ahead of time, i kind of help the process of combating that green fade in the future. Okay, so now we've got a little bit of a pink hue, so you can kind of see the difference and i'm going to pull that down onto the yellow. So you can see what that looks like against a yellow background. It'S really important because that yellow, if you are thinking of the color wheel, is going to really play a huge role in what's going to happen and what you're going to see with your end result. So you can see these are two completely different colors, but i'm not mad about it. I think it looks kind of nice, so i'm just going to leave it the way it is. How many washes does the color last so this color it depends um. I believe it's up to 47 washes it's quite a bit. It really depends on how dark you go, how light you got your hair to what kind of shampoo you're using and the maintenance that you do with semi-permanent colors. So i just mixed our blue. I had aqua bay and a little bit of that navy blue color in there and some retro, so the navy blue is going to add depth. What i have here on this mannequin is about a level seven, so i need to add depth to the color so that you can actually see it or it'll be muddy onto the hair. So here's our blue shade and it's actually kind of a cool like teal color and pulling that down, as you can see, on a yellow, it's starting to show a little bit more green, which again i'm not super mad about it, looks really cool. This color scheme looks nice together now. The final color that i wanted to just mix with you on screen here is our green, so in on the mannequin she's got a neon green color. So i have my neon green here. However, like i said she is a level 7 and i really really want to see that green pop. So i'm going to add a little bit of clover to it to add some depth to the color. You can see that it's a little bit darker and i'm not adding a ton, because i still want it to be quite bright. All right, i'm gon na stir it up awesome. Who here is afraid of green green is like my favorite color to work with, and i feel like it really adds a ton of like different dimension into the color okay. So now, let's see this is going to be a huge difference with what it's going to be on the white versus the yellow, because there is so much yellow. So here it is on white, really bright and beautiful, but as soon as we hit it on that yellow it actually kind of enhances that neon and makes it a little bit brighter and we can still see the green in it. So i know it's going to work out on my mannequin, so mixing is huge to double check to test it out, grab some yellow papers or something. This is just card stock that i found in like a citrus ombre and it kind of works for just double checking everything. So i'm going to pull this up, so you can see our mannequin now. Do you have a few people saying that they love green good? Not a lot of people are brave enough to get it in the chair. It is true. Green is something that i feel like they become more brave when you as a stylist are comfortable with knowing how to get it out. So, for example, actually my little spokesman behind the cam camera she does. She did green one time, and that was the fears. Okay. Well, how are we going to get back because her next color she wanted was was pink, but you know knowing your color wheel, knowing how to cancel out those tones. It really really helps so that you can give the best result, preserve their hair integrity and still let them have fun and do whatever color they want not feel like stuck in a little box with just okay. I can only do pinks and oranges because those fade the best. Let them be free and then know your color wheel, so you can really really achieve whatever you want to for your guest all right. So now i'm going to move this forward and we're going to start with. Let me lower this just slightly a little further. Does that work? Okay, so now we're going to start with first, i want to show you guys how i do a melt. So let me just adjust slightly here, so i'm going to take her hair and split it in half right in the fringe area and pin this out of the way now the way you know how much hair to use or to take when you're doing a section Is you do want to be able to kind of see your fingers through the hair? If it's too thin, then it's going to dry out really really fast, and it's probably going to take you a really long time to apply. But if it's just enough hair that you can still see your fingers through the hair, then you're going to be able to saturate well enough, i'm going to leave this hair out of the way the short piece on the side. So i can have control over the hair, so i've got a piece piece size piece finger size section here, so i can have full control over the hair and i'm going to start with my darkest shade at the top of the hair. So i've got my orchid color that i mixed prior and for those of you who just came in just so. You know if you chat and interact and ask questions, you do get entered into a giveaway and you could win up to a hundred dollar gift card. For ulta beauty, if you even just say hi or ask a question, so i'm going to apply the color, i'm trying to be careful not to stain the mannequin all right and i went down just about an inch. Can everybody see that? Okay, now i'm going to take my two fingers here and i'm going to squeeze that into the hair, and that's so i can have full saturation of the product into the hair. Now i'm going to stop there if we can easily go overboard and do what we do with um. You know oxidative color and just blend it right down and get a little bit messy, but we do have to be careful when we're doing a creative color placement. Like this, so now that i've applied, what i need to do is wipe my hands thoroughly on a towel between my next color. So my next color i'm going to use is the coral color that we created. Do you have any questions coming in someone asked what you do to prevent stains on your guests, skin ooh stains. So if this were a client - and i i was not prepared with oil today um, i would put a foil right here right around the fringe area, to help prevent that staining on the scalp. That does seem to be quite a bit of a problem. You know you'll have staining right on the scalp um, so i've, especially for like the photo um. I would just take a like an alcohol wipe actually and go right on their part, and it comes immediately off or if you have like a color remover wipe it'll. Come right off, okay! So my next color here you see i go down, but i haven't started right where the purple left off. So i'm going to blend up into that and i just went down about an inch and i'm going to take my two fingers again and squeeze that in so it's nice and blended and now to meld these two together. I'M going to take my two fingers and swirl right where those colors meet so that it blends really really nicely now. If it doesn't look blended on your mannequin, it's not going to be blended in real life when you're, when you're all washed and styled. So it's really important that you see everything is beautifully blended before washing your client out. Okay. So my next step here after we do what we wipe our hands and my last color, which is my lightest color, is going to be the green, so the green, because i really don't want to lose that color. I don't want it to blend too much with the other, i'm going to start at the ends and work my way up and then how long would you say an application like this would take for like a whole head for a whole head. So if, from start to finish like if we're blonding and stuff um, something like this would it depends on a lot of things, obviously how light they're gon na, let me get it like their hair itself will let me go, but if i'm just doing just this Color right now it's already been pre-lightened. This would probably take me, maybe 30 to 45 minutes depending on the intricacy. Something like this could take me. You know up to an hour to apply like if i were to do like a holographic color. It could take me probably at least an hour to apply, so that's why it's really important to make sure you're saturated. So you can see that it's just like heavy on there, semi-permanent color does kind of tend to dry out and when it does, it won't cover fully in those areas that it's dried out. So it's really important that you have tons of product on there. Okay. So now i'm going to do my next step and if you've noticed i've kind of been applying straight forward. However, this guest is not going to wear her hair forward. It'S going to go to the side, so what i'm doing is over directing it. So i have a nice soft diffused line when she does wear it to the side. So, typically, you would have a foil or saran wrap towards the face, there's to protect it from the color staining. Okay. So now we're going to take the purple again and what you may have noticed too, is with the blonding that i did prior. I didn't go right up to the root with it, and the reason for that is because i wanted a nice soft and diffused. Look. All the way around the head, so it really is cohesive with the rest of the hair and what this does also is it really makes it so that um, your guests color, is low maintenance as well. So it's a win-win. Do you go over with your color mixtures that you're putting in absolutely so let me go over my color mix shoes for anybody that may have missed so this first color i did is a matrix cell color cult. Semi-Permanent we've got orchid mixed with a little bit of fuchsia, so kind of that pink color. This next color is my bright coral color. So i use matrix orange alert with a little bit of fuchsia to add that brightness and then a just a tiny bit of starfish coral to add a different dimension to that orange, a different shade to it. Okay! So now i'm taking my two fingers and i'm swirling, that color together to blend okay and actually we could go a little bit lower. It doesn't have to land exactly where the one prior was because of what this is going to do is going to help diffuse. Any lines that you have so that everything is really soft, organic and cohesive in the end, so i need to wipe my hands off, and this last color i have is matrix, sew, color cult, neon green with a little bit of clover green, so starting at the Ends leaving that space between so i can make sure that green is really vibrant and a pure, green and not muddied by the orange. So now i'm going to just slightly blend up and use my two fingers to blend those colors together. What kind of tools do you use ooh? What brand of tools um a lot of our tools at ulta beauty are from r uh or color track. So this one in particular, is a framar brush. I really like those soft bristles. It really really really helps with any sort of softness and blending. When i do balayage, when i do highlights, i use a softer bristle brush like so okay, so that blend is all set and ready to go really really saturated. Make sure you take a really saturated section, make sure it's not too thin and not too thick also so now, let's move on to the side, make sure you take sections that are workable, for you don't overwhelm yourself, but also this is a very and i i've Had her hair tied up for like a week, so that's why she's extra bouncy right now um, but make sure you take sections that are workable for you, so you're not overwhelmed, so the hair is not kind of you know falling into the rest of it. You can keep full control of the color, so this color is a very organic placement. I really did take time to just visually see where everything's going to go beforehand, so i think it would be cool to add this blend and this melt of color around the face here. So i'm going to do that just to the these front sections and then the rest, we're going to take little pieces and do a little bit more organic placement. So i think that this would be cool, so it can kind of go together with the rest of the hair and i'm going to do just a plain color. On top of that, so we've got our matrix, so color cult orchid with our fuchsia and now i'm going to pull this down a little bit further and i am using my two fingers to really squeeze that into the hair and blend that down. Okay and now i'm taking my orange and you see i've given a little bit of space right here and that's okay, you see this right here. It'S ended, that's okay, you can leave that be and just carry on to you keep going down the rest of the hair all right. So now i'm going to take my fingers and blend that in to that orchid color, so that pinch is really what helps to blend that together. So you can see everything is nice and smooth and cohesive in that swirling that in blending down and now i'm going to put just a little bit of green on the very tip there. So, as far as you guys go, what kind of colors have you been seeing a lot of in the salon? Are you guys really comfortable with doing semi-permanent colors? Is this something that you see a lot in the salon, or is this something that maybe you want to get a little bit better at, and maybe you just need some of these little tips and tricks to elevate your um semi-permanent color game, your vibrant color game? Okay, so this next color up top here, i've got this little piece. So this is where we're going to get fun and get a little bit more pc and organic with our color placement. So i'm going to take a piece, that's about an inch in width and probably about a quarter inch in depth and i'm just going to put one color all the way through and we haven't used blue. Yet so why not use blue people saying they're trying to get better with colors and then sometimes pastels can be challenging right? Okay, so pastels, um pastels, are a whole different ball game because you'll have those clients coming in with really dark hair who are wanting to be pastel. But it's going to take a second and you need to be realistic as a stylist with them and say you know what that's not super possible today, but here's how we can get you there um, you know, pastels, do they fade really fast. My hair um is pastel and i have been blessed to have naturally level eight hair. So it's it's an easy enough thing for me to maintain using um like color shampoos like cara, color, or something like that to help maintain the vibrancy of my color and um. You know i do have to take cold showers in the middle of winter, so there's that as well all right, so we got that blue and you can really see how that blue is might be our color. That just makes everything pop. So i'm going to use the blue sparingly, so it can kind of be that fun piece. That'S just like. Oh my gosh look at that. That'S a fun piece! So i'm going to take another piece here and i'm i'm not sectioning this out. Necessarily in this perfect amazing way like this is just i'm going to take a little swirl of a section, and i'm going to be intentional with my section here and why i'm choosing it, but it is definitely a more organic piece of hair. You can see. There'S no perfect line to it, but i have control over the piece and i'm going to make it just my little work of art. I'M sorry hit my mic. I'M actually going to bring this purple down and just do one full piece of purple. So when you're doing a full, solid piece, what you can do is use your hand as a backboard, and you can see how much product i'm using i'm really pressing it in there and using a ton of product into the hair. Some semi-permanent colors are harder to use than others, because they don't spread quite as easily so make sure that if it is not blending in just load on the product and really saturate it, and you can kind of open it up and see like did. I miss any areas and work that in and let it be so, i would put a foil in front of the guest's face. However, with the rest of this and the colors that i've chosen, i actually wouldn't foil the rest. I would just leave it sitting on in the hair just like this, without foiling or messing with that at all it does, it doesn't really transfer to each other unless you smash it down together. However, if i was doing a color like yellow, i would want to keep that separate, so i probably would put at least the yellow away out of the way or in a foil. So i'm going to take another section here. So, as i mentioned before, i'm on the ulta beauty, design team - and you know it's just something that i am passionate about. I do have to give a little shout out to ulta, for you know giving me this opportunity today to teach you guys um. So the ulta beauty design team's, like a super cool thing, where we do get to kind of travel and learn from these top leaders in the industry and bring back this kind of education for you. So this is just kind of like one of the really fun things that we get to do with our job, and i'm super excited to be here with you guys. This was amazing, cosmetology school in february, and she's glad that there's videos like this - oh good, congrats you're, almost done with school, so you're graduating in february. That'S really exciting. Oh you're, starting in february, that's extra, exciting! Okay! So i did purple and i kind of want to put some orange, so it cohes is cohesive with the other. So what you're noticing here is, i may have these two purples together. However, you know one's plain and i'm going to put orange the coral color that i have on the very tips here and again you just really really saturate that color tons of color. You can see a lot of my gloves. It'S really depressing to wipe it all off on the towel when you're done, but you need that color to be super saturated to really show its full vibrancy awesome. Okay. So let's do a few more sections here, and so you can really see all like how this is going to lay and really visualize, so think about how you would do this at home or or with your own guest here, and what you would do to kind Of maybe enhance this, or maybe you've got a client with blonde hair. That'S like i just want to add some little pink pieces. Well, this might be a really fun placement for them to add those pink pieces in there. So what if we did like neon green at the bottom of this blue? What do you guys think about that? I think that could be awesome. I love a good blue and green combination, so we're just kind of having fun here just playing with the placement and just let your your inner artist shine awesome. Look at that color together. It looks so pretty okay and then swirling right through the middle there, and you can kind of meld the two colors together. If you want, because what's gon na happen here is you're gon na have two a third color that starts to blend and melt together before it goes into the next color. So you definitely can sit there and also go through and blend up or down into your color for a third color, so this is kind of giving us a little bit more of that teal color before it goes into the neon green. So that's a super super cool color, this one's asking what brand the color you're using so the brand of color i'm using, is matrix so color cold. I love it because i feel like i can customize and make anything that i want with the matrix. So color cool they have semi demi and permanent colors. So now i'm going to go in and i'm actually going to do a shorter piece of this purple. Let me turn so you can see and i'm just going to basically smudge down the root a little and the rest of this is going to be that bright, coral color. So we have this nice neon coral popping right through the hair grabbing. My coral i generally like to use just four colors when i'm doing vibrance, unless i'm doing a rainbow, obviously, but i like to just use four: if i'm doing something like this, because i want each color to shine, i really want to see the dimension. I don't want the eye to be overwhelmed, and that's just me personally as a stylist like i, i just personally like to use just four colors max when i'm doing something like this and that way each color really gets its little limelight. So you can kind of see it coming together here um. So when i'm finished with this and let me kind of back up, so you can see and we're back. Can you see me okay, cool, so you're going to go through and just organically take pieces. All the way around the head of this mannequin - and i want to take this down, so you can really see what's going to happen here is so in the back here we did pin off the bottom half we see that we pinned off the bottom half okay, So we've got this nice background, so imagine you're taking a picture of a client and you really want their hair to just shine, but maybe they're wearing a shirt. That'S a little bit bright and kind of throws off the color that you did well. This is kind of like your backdrop, to the color that you just did here, so that's going to shadow and enhance the color and really show every piece of color. So that's why i left this out to be this nice depth of color. So, unfortunately, your hair is really really really wavy but you're going to see a wavy, because i pinned it but you're going to see that this color overlaps over this and you can still see it shine through and then i'll show this mannequin over. Here again our inspiration mannequin, so she does have that depth of color underneath i just did kind of like a deeper purple. So on her i used redken 3vv in chromatics. So that's what is that kind of purpley shade? And so that's kind of our background to this, and this is the redken chromatix 3v as well, and so you can see each one of these pieces just really shine through. I didn't have a blue piece when i made this one, so that was just kind of a fun addition that we did today, but you can see these bright little green pieces is what's really enhancing and brightening this color. So if a guest shows me something that's just say, it was just the purple and the coral and they go that's what i want don't be afraid to tell your guests like hey what, if we add, yellow or something or what, if we added that streak of Neon green, i do that to literally every single one of my clients. So that's where those fun colors are - and you know the more confident you get with semi-permanent colors, the more confident you're going to get in suggesting those kind of things and seeing what kind of color combinations work super well together. So if you happen to do this on your mannequin at home on a guest make sure you tag me at j air dot, hair - and i would love to see, if you guys can do this on your mannequins or on your clients and how that ends up. I'D love to see your creativity with this and again i want to show this on a mannequin with a softer layered texture too, so that you can see that this technique, my stomach, is crawling. I hope you can't hear it. I hope you can see this technique. You know works for any and everybody and you can try this on anyone, so i do want to show you if you turn her upside down and maybe she were to put her hair in a ponytail. You can see it'll give you like a really cool streak on the sides and it'll be nice and blocked in the back with her natural. So this is a super low maintenance, really badass color that you can use on your client for any haircut and any hair texture. You have a few questions. Oh, we have questions. Let'S answer: what was the color combo again? If you want to go through sure yeah i'll go through the color combo again, so let me show her to you, so i've got um and i'll show you on a white piece of paper too, so you can really see the brightness of it. This is matrix. So color cult, we have orchid mixed with fuchsia, and i just i i didn't do equal parts, it's mostly orchid with a little bit of fuchsia, and i added that fuchsia so that i can combat the future fade of the purple which we, if you're familiar with Um semi-permanent colors purple tends to fade minty, you see it, so that's it kind of helps combat that future fade of it potentially going minty to add that pink, but i also wanted kind of a pink background to that purple. The next is the coral, and this is orange alert mixed with fuchsia and a little bit of coral just to add a different kind of tonality to the orange, and this one is aqua bay. I didn't even say this one. I think this one is aqua bay. Um mixed with retro, blue and navy, and i added that navy to add the depth to the color you can see. This is a really really pretty like deep sky blue, like a stormy sky or something i don't know, it's really pretty love it and then my last is neon green mixed with clover. So that's our color combination that we did today using matrix soul, color called semi permanent without any developer, not needed it's just going to stain the outside of the cuticle. So it's it's a temporary color! That'S going to last. Quite a few washes matrix, so color cold. Does fade on tone, which means this purple is going to fade purple when you strip it. That'S when you're going to see those kind of minty colors come out and that's just because the blue pigment in purple is so dominant, and so, when blue fades out, you see that kind of greenish cast in the hair someone's asking does ulta take assistance, does ulta. Take assistance um, so they do um. You have to be a qualifying hair stylist um to in order to have an associate designer assist you um behind the chairs, but yeah. We do absolutely offer assistance with ulta beauty and then is colors like this difficult to. Retouch are colors like this difficult to retouch um. I don't i personally, don't think so, because the color fades on tone or it fades all the way out to blonde. You can kind of get that fresh canvas to start all over and when you are picking things up organically for me um, you know as if i'm redoing my own work. I know in my brain what my artist's head just did, so i can kind of pick up and see. Okay, like we have a faded purple and it looks like it's orange down to the end. So it's a little bit easier. If you're, you know touching up your own work, and so that's where this is really beneficial as a stylist for you to customize your work for your guests and maybe go the extra mile and suggest like what, if we did this or what, if we did, that To enhance that photo you're showing me so that they come back to see you any other questions yeah. How do you advertise as a fun color hairstylist? How do i advertise as a fun hair, color stylist? I i love it. So if any time a guest says um, i'm thinking like it would be so cool to add some pink to my hair. I love your hair, color or i've seen pink before and i've been thinking about it. I immediately am like: let's do it today right now, so i and that's pretty much how most of my vibrant colors started and then i started was able to build my portfolio with photos and things like that. So i set aside some time to make sure no matter what i take photos with a lot of my vibrance so that i can post some beautiful work. Do the right hashtags to get the the visual out there out there and um. You know it really is about your passion. You will attract what you enjoy to do and what you're great at emma, do you have any tips for photography, um, vibrant colors, absolutely so tips for photography with vibrant colors, so natural light is the best light. So if you've got a window that you can take the photo in front of um, i would suggest putting your if you have a phone to put it in portrait mode or what's the other mode for um the samsung. It'S something where the blue, where it's blurry in the background um, so that your your foreground, which is the the hair itself, is really really enhanced. So make sure you have natural light. I always have in my pocket when i go to do my photos. A brush and some shine spray and hairspray. So when i brush the hair, it's really really smooth, so i can show you on this mannequin here sorry, this stand is very flimsy, so hopefully she stays up and um. So i can show you on her. So if i were to take a photo of her, what i would do is i'd want to really showcase that you know the brightness that i did underneath, so you could actually take a um clip and go behind the hair and clip that up. So it shows the hair a little bit better because they can't see that behind and you can see that really expands the color. It pushes everything forward so really play with the hair and make sure you've got that right angle. Try everything take hundreds of photos. Take a lot - and you know, make sure you tell your guests to just relax, have fun with them. Tell them when they're doing a great job and you'll get a great photo any other questions: cool, okay!
