Hey guys today, I'm inviting you to come along for the ride with me. While I dye my hair, I decided to take the plunge and darken my route by using a reverse balayage route, smudge technique I'll be explaining step-by-step. How I got this look and how I was able to transition. My super dark brown roots to seamlessly melt into my light blonde ends thanks for watching and let's get started, hey guys, it's Danielle here coming to you live from my Creator, studio aka, my bathroom, I'm! So excited to be making more videos for you guys. I hope you chucked out my last two videos and I have an announcement. I also created a hair Instagram account, so it goes hand in hand with my YouTube guys go and check me out like comment. Let me know what you think: if you want to see a certain book or if you have questions, be sure to leave it on my hair Instagram account. I would love to connect with all of you guys and today I wanted to do something that I have been putting off for the longest time ever, because I'm such a baby when it comes to darkening my hair, but for the last few months I've just been Getting extremely sick of the roots coming in and we could see how light I am on the bottoms when those roots come in. It is bold and it's in your face and I'm having to do a root touch-up about once a month, if not a little bit less than that. So we all know that the roots smudge balayage blended book is so hot right now, so I decided to stop being a baby and hop up a bandwagon and darken my route, and anybody out there was a blonde knows how it terrifying. It is when you're trying to put any kind of darkness into your hair, so I think for so long. I put it off, but if it's done the right way and if it's blended nicely not only will it create a lot less work for me in the long run, but it'll actually help to kind of preserve my hair because doing it. That often obviously isn't the healthiest and it's just something different every now, and then we have to switch things up. So I was ready and honestly as terrified as I was to do this look, I'm kind of obsessed with it and the great thing about this is that there was no bleach involved, no highlighting it was just a simple process where we applied dye to the roots Which was virgin hair and kind of brought it down a little bit to blend that line so that there was no line of demarcation present. So my main purpose of making these videos is really to just share my knowledge with you guys. I know it's not easy and getting your hair done is so expensive. Sometimes. So, if there's something simple that I can show you guys that you may have a question on and if my video can answer that question for you then really my purpose is fulfilled. So if you guys want to come with me for the ride and watch how I got this look then keep watching okay guys. So let's take a look at my before shot. This is the state that my hair is currently in from the last time that I had colored it and, as you can see, there has a lot going on here. So, let's look at zone 1 zone 1 is where we see the darkest Brown present, and this is where my virgin regrowth is, which is around the level 5 or level 6. Now, if we look at zone 2, this is where we'll find previously applied. Hair color, which has faded out to this awful brassy golden color and my main purpose for doing this - reverse balayage, is to blend someone into zone 2 and have it seamlessly melt into my blonde. So next, let's take a look at our products. Today I am trying out my new frame, our brush. It'S an all-in-one. It allows you to weave four foils, while also being able to use the applicator end, and I am obsessed with it. Next, we have our olaplex, which is a godsend for insurance, on the hair and in my formula, I'm going to be mixing a dropper of the violet color shots, because my hair picks up extremely orange, and this will help reverse that and for the main event. Today we are using Paul Mitchell's, the color in seven ash mixed with 20 volume and for this formula I mixed one and a half ounces of color with half ounces of developer, while adding the Paul Mitchell color shots and olaplex. So now, let's start the application process. So what I did was I started by spritzing, my hair with water just to even out the porosity so that no areas absorb too much color, because when we have such bright blondes, sometimes that does happen. And while I'm applying I'm being sure to stick as close to the root as possible and then taking the excess, that's left on my brush and feathering it downward to seamlessly transition into my blonde and in the back you'll notice that I'm feathering the hair color. A little bit down further than I am in the front I feel like painting in that sort of fashion makes the line look a little bit more natural okay. So I'm gon na set my timer for 40 minutes for full deposit rinse and then have a slight heart attack at how dark my roots are and then proceed to towel dry. Our hair make sure we're not rubbing it we're just blotting it and now on to our styling products today I'll be using the Kerastase nutritive, olio relaxed serum I'll link, the description for it down below lately. This is one of my absolute favorite products, because it's very light, but it also makes your hair feel phenomenal. It'S really super silky in texture, and it just makes the finished product of the blowout just amazing. So now we're gon na remove some moisture from the hair and, last but not least, I'm going to be using the matrix bio lodge anti frizz styling cream. Now this product is phenomenal. It truly gets rid of the flyaways without weighing your hair down and it's light enough to allow you to still style it after you're done with your blowout and now, let's take a look at our finished product, you can see how my dark brown root has been Perfectly melted into my light blonde edges now that the line of demarcation is gone from my old brassy haircolor, we're just left with a natural fade out from my loot, color down to my blog and as my hair begins to grow, my virgin natural regrowth is going To transition easily without a harsh line from the old hair color present, I hope you guys enjoyed.
