How To: Ombre Wig Tutorial| Blue And Mint Color

Um, hey guys so today we're back with a coloring video, and this wig was a 22 inch 613 from benf, hair or binf here not really sure how they are pronounced. But i think it's been hair and um. Yes, it was good quality and it had small knots did have a little bit of shedding, but other than that i love this wig um and yeah. So again, this is the color video. So i'm going to show you guys what colors we'll be using and we'll be using sweet mint by adore sky blue by adore jade by adore luxe blue by adore platinum by kiss titanium and honestly. That was all the colors. There was nothing else, and then you just want to have your coloring bows and you want to have you know a comb and your color brushes and first we're just going to get into part in the hair. So this is a really good tip for coloring. If it depends on the the way you are trying like what is your overall look, i find that sectioning, the hair and parting it before you start coloring just makes it looks very uniform once it's all completed and you go into styling it'll kind of like you Know match up so if you know like you want, you want a middle part and you want it to be. Even you know as much as possible when it's in the middle then go ahead and part it down the middle flatten it and prepare. You know the wig to already be positioned in that um that you know form or whatever. I'M sorry i already know like i struggle with terminology. Sometimes i know what i'm talking about, but it'd be hard, sometimes to put it to work. But that's what i'm saying if you um part it into the way you are trying to go for your end results once it's all completed, it'll all be uniform and it all come together and flow nicely. So um. I did mines already in the middle part, and you just see me sectioning off. I always color the frontal first, if i'm doing like hand painting like this, if i'm doing highlights, i do the back. First, then, the frontal just because frontals process faster than the back hair and you don't. You want to kind of make sure that the coloring matches with the back so always do the back first on natural black hair. When i do highlights - but this is all 613 blonde, so it doesn't matter - i just like to do the front first and another tip is to color um start at the roots with like a small tool. So i always use like this is um eyebrow brush from like makeup. I had a makeup kit, and so i just always take those out and use them to color or most the time i use an edge brush um. Now it does look like i'm going really fast. That'S only because i sped it up um, but i'm not going that that fast. However, i do color fairly fast because i'm used to it, but if you are starting out, please take your time don't rush, especially because you don't really want to stain your lace and another thing i did not um protect the lace i used to um. You know when i first started coloring. I did used to always protect the lace, but now in the past year. I don't really do it just because, like i'm so used to, i know how to like move and take my time while still moving proficiently and moving a little fast and not really get anything on a lace. But i did not protect the lace, but i would say for you, if you are, if you struggle with coloring or if you're new, to coloring definitely protect your lace and um yeah. So i always just had the root to just kind of make sure that they're clean use a small tool and then, as you start to go down use um. You know, as you see, i'm going in with the coloring brush and so now let me get into giving you a tip for like ombre, so the tip is to for me to blend like really really blend, and when you you don't want harsh lines like you Shouldn'T really be able to see where the next color starts, so you know, build the color up and take you see how i just took two of my fingers and i blended it in and then you'll see later on in the video me taking a comb and Combing through and that's how you get it to all mesh together and look seamless like you, don't want harsh lines that contract okay. I see she started gray here. You know like, of course, you're gon na be able to see, but you just don't want those. I know like if y'all are into hair and stuff, and you see color and you'd be like you know. You saw colored looks where the the lines are really harsh on the coloring. It'S not very appealing so to alleviate that, like just really practice blending take a comb and utilize your fingers and massage it and work it in and keep working that harsh line out so that you can get that really pretty and natural. Looking ombre going on so um that was really and then again um before i stop talking, because i know like i've been talking a lot but the deluxe blue, when you are applying it, it does look purple but yeah. I promise it's not when you, when i wash it out and you see at the end the end result is blue. I don't know why it comes out like that. Maybe it's the ammonia or whatever they you know made um into that specific color that made it. You know come out as purple when i was applying it, but it's really not purple. I promise y'all so yeah, i'm just gon na let y'all keep watching. I am gon na talk a little more throughout the video, but i know i've been talking a little bit. So i'm gon na stop and let y'all watch now um one one. Okay, so now we're getting into the back. The only tip that i would say is to section it off so section it. I would say into fours um, rather than just starting at the top and um you know going down like this section it into force. It makes it easier to apply the color um. It does take a little bit longer if you do it. The way that you see me starting out eventually i'm gon na go into sectioning it and that's how i finish the whole wig. I just thought you know what let me just start sectioning this um, because it's like annoying. If you start from top and then you know, work your way down or even or if you decide to not section, it start, maybe from the bottom and build your way up. Um because i found the sectioning part to just be easier and then make sure like you are thoroughly going in and getting the color in um pull out pieces make sure you have a comb to comb through because you have to build the color up. You may think like okay, well, i've been working on this one side for 30 40 minutes and you think, like you, got all those spots and you didn't and you'll see as i keep doing, that i'll be combing, but i'm still going to find blonde pieces. So saturate the hair comb through to make sure like you, are really um. You know not missing any spots um. I want to make sure that you are really saturating the hair all throughout and, as you see like um, i am going back over a little bit in the front just because i didn't like um, and i did do this off a camera too. I didn't like how the front was looking. It wasn't as pigmented as i wanted it to be like it. Just wasn't like you know like, so that's what i mean by build the color make sure so that when you wash it color doesn't always look how it looks when you apply the color, so you know once you wash it out it kind of fades a little Bit, if that makes sense like it's not as bright as when you're painting it, so you want to make sure that you really build the color uh, make sure like you are getting all the pieces you you know like you just want to make sure excuses and Make sure like you taking your time it shouldn't be. I said this before. It should be no rush. When you are coloring, you want to make sure that you are doing a good color job and the end results will be nice. You want to make sure there's not no patches of colors, and let me tell you when i first started coloring like i remember i used to miss spots just because, like i didn't take my time and make sure i'm getting every little crease every little crevices like You want to get up in there. Sis, like you, know open that hair pull it. You see how i'm combing it and i'm finding blonde pieces, that's what you want to do throughout the whole. Wig lift it up, make sure like you are getting. You know those pieces, those spots like you're trying to have you know seamless, clean work. You want it to look nice and you want your client to be satisfied as well, so definitely definitely recommend the cone. As you see, you see how patchy that looks, that ain't cute - that's not cute at all, so take a comb. Take your time build, build, build the color up, build build. You will know when you're done and definitely before you decide like. Okay, like i think that you know i'm done, i think that i got every color make sure you comb it through multiple, multiple times, because sometimes even when you've been working on it for two hours you go and comb through. You may find one little piece that didn't get colored or didn't get touched. So i know i just said a lot, but you see how i'm combing and i'm finding all those blonde pieces like you, don't want that. You want to make sure the wig is thoroughly colored. Every piece is saturated and covered in color, so yeah i'll. Let you guys keep watching as you see here. This is where i start to go into sectioning it. I didn't already took the other side and pinned it pinned it to the other side, just because i'm i just said to myself like this would probably be more accurate as far as finding those missing pieces - and you know making sure i get everything thoroughly colored rather Than just trying to work from the top and work my way all the way down so yeah i'll, let you guys keep watching i'll come back in a couple minutes. One me bye, uh, so hey so um one uh! Now here i've started to combine the pieces back together, so i basically split it up into twos into the back and now i'm putting them together and then i'm going to start coloring it in one section, as you see here and that way again once i like Wash it out and stuff and the final product it'll all flow together, how i want it to flow and um yeah. So again you you see me like separating the hair, pulling it out with my hands combing it just i really really just kept going over. It is redundant and can be a little annoying sometimes, but you know again, you want to make sure that you do a good job. You want to make sure that your clients are satisfied, and you know not complaining of you know there being patches of blind pieces or missing colors and no, you aren't perfect even the best of the best. You know. Sometimes we miss spots. So i'm not saying you know that you will get every single piece um. Sometimes you may see a little strand or something like dang. I miss that little spot and it's okay, don't be so hard on yourself. Just take it as a okay. Next time, imma work even harder. You know to get even though spots if i can um but yeah just take your time, and you know again comb through, like really section the hair off and um make sure that you are blending using your hands using. You know the tools that you have and again the most major key i'll give to anybody is take your time really take your time, so it can show in your final results: hey okay, guys so um, as you see here, i'm just adding the last touches. Um. Just going over the front again fixing any imperfections or anything that isn't satisfying to my eyes or my liking, because i am very particular - and i like my wigs to look really nice. So i will go over the same piece, the same part over and over again until i'm happy about it so yeah, that's really all that is left of it. Just make sure you take your time. You blend you, comb, use your fingers to really mesh those colors. All together and another tip make sure you let your wigs marinate and let the color saturate and sit into the wig, and you you know you let it sit for a little bit when the wig is completely dried. I'M talking about when you go to wash it. It'S like hard hard as rock. That is a good indication that you've let your wig sit long enough eyes. Let my wig sit for more than six to seven hours um. Sometimes i honestly let them sit overnight. It depends on how my timing is what schedule i'm working with, but let the color saturate and stick and then sorry about the mess in this clip. Y'All y'all know if you color how messy it gets. You already know the vibes, but yeah. So do that and yeah that's, basically it and you want to let it sit so because these are semi-permanent colors. They do fade over time, especially the more you wash it. So you want to make sure that your client gets to wear this as much as possible and it not fade more quick than it should so. This is how it looks when i'm done coloring this to my liking, and then this is how it looks after i let it sit and i washed it out make sure you wash out with cold water, but that's it guys make sure you follow me on instagram At paradise, forever co go online and shop on my website paradiseco.com, i am taking custom orders for custom colors, like these ones and yeah make sure you go shop with ben human here as well.
