All About Color Rings!

Picture this you have spent the last six months, saving for new hair, or maybe you just got your tax return and you decide now's the time I'm going to invest in myself. I'M gon na buy some new hair. So what do you do? Well, if you're like me and I buy everything online, you go to your favorite wig website and you try to find the way and the style that you like perfect. You picked her out, she's got long flowing, gorgeous hair or maybe a short cute pixie cut whatever you like, and then it comes time before you Add to Cart. To choose your color holy crap, there's so many options. What are you gon na choose? Are you gon na go blonde? Are you gon na go brown? Are you gon na go red? Are you gon na go shaded? Are you gon na go highlighted? Are you gon na go rooted? What goes with your skin tone? Well, it's kind of hard to tell because you've got an image about this big of what the color looks like. But then let's say you just spend hours on the computer. You finally get sick of going through all the different possibilities, and you pick one and a few days later, the box comes in the mail and you take it out and it's nothing like what you expected. That is the most frustrating thing, and one of the challenges that I had personally when I first started wearing hair so to solve that problem enter the color ring if you're not familiar with a color ring. Basically what it is. It'S like a sample right. It'S a sample that lets you see the actual color and the type of hair, for instance, whether it's human hair, synthetic hair. It lets you have a real feel and look of what you're getting. But the question is: how do these fit into the process of choosing the right hair? Here? Are my suggestions step one, it's decide what color family do you want to be in each color ring is gon na be organized by what family are in? Let'S say you decide, you want to go, or let's say you want to go for blacks and browns, and this is where you stay now, when you start looking at each of the different color codes on all the tabs and on the website, you're, probably thinking what The hell this 4/27/2013, and that way you have a better idea when you're shopping of what to look for. If you see the letter S, it means that it's a shaded, color you're, looking at a hair that has a gradient alright. So let me switch over real, quick from my Browns and blacks to my shaded syrup and opera colors, as you can see lots of options here: FS 17 / 101 s 18. As you can see, this one has a much darker route and a lighter tip. So moving on what does H mean? It means that it's got approximately a 20 % highlight, but if you see an RH and that means that they bump up the highlight from 20 % up to 33 %. And then, if you see an FS, that's a fashion syrup color, which means that it's got very chunky bold highlights. So this is a super popular color, it's 12 FS 8. Hopefully the lights, not washing it out. It'S got very chunky old highlights and then, lastly, if you see the letter T as in tango, that means it's a tipped color. So this one is 101 F, 4 8 T. So that means that the color is tipped. Let'S say that maybe the website that you're buying from lets - you borrow one and then ship it back or you decide to go ahead and spend the coin to buy your own color ring, which, if you're gon na be wearing hair for a long time. I do suggest how do you use this? The whole concept of this is so that you can visualize the color these. This is the human hair color ring. So this is human hair right here, but these are synthetics. So, if you're buying a synthetic piece, you're going to obviously want to look at the synthetic color ring the reason. Why is because the same exact shade - and I mentioned this in a previous video - can appear warmer in a human hair color in a human hair material or let's say that you're, comparing a synthetic to a human hair tone. The synthetic is gon na show a lot more contrast, just because of the material that it's made out of it's not a bad thing, it's just a difference, in contrast and material. So let's say you want to go for a shaded ombre and a human hair piece. How do you use this? Well, the cool thing is you can actually snap these off, as you can see so that you don't have to finagle with this big old ring. So let's say that I want to look at 24 B, t1 T 18. S8. First thing you're gon na do is obviously, if you hold it like this, you're, not gon na see the whole breadth of the color. So I recommend you kind of twist it and then fan it out when you do that, you can see a lot more of the shade you're testing it against your skin to see okay. Does this look good against my skin tone? Is it too cool? Is it too warm is the routing dark enough? Does it match my eyebrows? It'S a very valuable tool, but let's say you want to go a little bit further right. Something I like to do is I like to go online. I like to google the color code, and there are so many ladies out there, some of them in the Ambassador community, such as myself and my ladies and gentlemen, that will post YouTube videos, Instagram content and pictures online of the various color accommodations. And that is a wonderful tool to help figure out what is the best color for you many times I have been like this close to add part on a particular color, and then I will go online and I will Google it and I'll look at it. I will decide that color is not gon na look good on me. So next and then I keep looking or I changed your different color. There are other times where I will see a color that I have never even thought of wearing before on a particular piece online, and I will just I don't know what it is it's just like. Oh my gosh, that's so pretty. I have to have it right and so I've experimented before fs2 v31 be chocolate cherry. This is a color that I never would have worn. I mean if you look at it. It looks a little scary, but the truth is. I have worn this color on many pieces and it's all because I saw people online wearing this and I thought oh, my gosh. This is so beautiful. I have to try it sure enough. I got home, I tried it on and I was like. Oh, this is so pretty so chocolate chair is one of my favorites, it's a very unique color and then, when the light hits it, you can see a lot of like the purples and the Burgundy's in there too, and another thing to consider is the material. So, like I said before, the human hairs are going to be a little bit warmer and that's why it is super nice to have the human hair color ring to compare against your synthetics, and this may actually even help. You choose whether you want to go with a synthetic piece versus a human hair piece. Lastly, you'll notice, some of the colors have names, and some of the colors just have a color code. That is primarily because genre know it tends to name. There are fashion syrup colors and there are shaded blends, so there you have it guys how to use a color ring. It is something that, in my opinion, is often overlooked. I think it's a great tool. I think it's a great investment and if you have friends that wear hair, I suggest that maybe you guys go like half seas or split the cost of a color ring, and that way, when each of you are shopping for hair, you can just borrow it from Each other and use it that way: it's not the type of thing that you're gon na use every single day, it's just for when you're shopping, so I don't think it's unreasonable to share one with a friend. So thank you for watching. I hope that this gives you a little bit more confidence when it comes to buying hair online and, if you're not comfortable, buying hair online. You can hop on to the Jean Renault website and find the store locator and, if you're, more comfortable, going to a brick and mortar shop, and that is always an option. Even if maybe they don't have the weight that you want and stuff. You can at least go there and put your eyes on the actual shade that you're interested in and check it out in person. So thank you for watching.
