Blending Heavy Blonde Grow Out | + Fixing A Bleeder Mark!?!?! ‍♀️‍♀️

So your client went super blonde and now wants some of their dimension back for today's video we're going to go through and blend her roots back in, to help give her a little bit softer grow out and give her a little bit more dimension. You can follow me on instagram at christy at the cottage client usually comes in pretty regularly, but we went much heavier last time, so her grow outline is much more defined, so we're gon na go talk about it right now. Okay, the client that i'm doing today is i've done her hair before um. Last time we did her service. She wanted to go like really heavily blonde, almost like solid blonde, but like in just doing like a partial foil. So she still has like a lot of her natural and everything, but just like the sides and like up here is like very solid heavy bright blonde um. She kind of decided that she feels like - and i noticed this with a lot of people that like to be bright blonde, but they want to go like very heavily blonde. It'S like the next surface, or maybe two surfaces after that they're kind of like yeah. I kind of miss the dimension or want a shadow root or whatever um i told her. I don't want to do a shadow root because i feel like when you add one back in there like nobody wants a warm tone, so they do like a ashy shadow root. But then, when it fades, it fades and leaves like a band and it's kind of hard to get rid of like you can tone it out, but then eventually, when the toner fades, that band is still there and you're always fighting it. So i told her. I don't really want to do a shadow roux um, but what we could do is less um or no sorry uh more of a subsection where, before we didn't do any subsections to make her extra bright and like do some back, combing create a little bit of A shadow root, so that's what we're going to do today and to lighten her we're going to do schwarzkopf on me with 20 volume and olaplex. So, as always, we're going to use one of my favorites schwarzkopf blonde me with 20 volume and olaplex and start her service off. So here's her before again, you can kind of see. Obviously she loves very cool tone. So maybe a little bit of overuse of purple shampoo, you can kind of see where it's a little bit extra pour so how it kind of grabbed and so for her foil. I already foiled the other side, but i'm gon na try to cut this video down. As short as i can, because she ended up having to leave really quickly and i wasn't really able to get like even style, her hair blow-dry all the way, so i'm not gon na make you like suffer through and watch this whole video for, like a five. Second, after shot so um, so just to start the service, i already foiled the other side, but again um. I do feel like you - can see a little bit better on this side. So that's why i cut out the other side of the foiling if you've never watched. My videos, then you'll see that i like to foil around the hairline more vertically, just because i feel like it gives more of a sun-kissed look versus having harsh lines going up. The side of the head, if you foil more horizontally, so for a partial foil, i usually just do maybe two or three foils, but because her hair is pretty dark and we want to make sure it blends really good. I'M going to throw a few extra foils in so we're gon na foil, back behind her ear, she's, just so cute, okay, so to do her hairline foils in her money piece. I already did the other side again got a better view on the side. We'Re just gon na do some really fine baby lights back to back, and then i think on the third foil, we're going to do a slice and just to give it a little bit more bold of a brightness. But i wanted to do baby lights directly on the hairline so that way when she throws her hair back, it's a little bit softer and not a harsh line when it grows out. Okay. So i'm asking her exactly where she parts her hair. It'S either down the center or on the side, so i'm kind of sectioning it off just to make sure wherever i foil the hair that i have good coverage and then now that i have that set aside, we're gon na go right in the money piece again And that little v section right there, where the two foil sides connect we're just gon na, do one foil, we're gon na back comb. It weave it - and this is gon na help - just create a little soft dimension in the money piece kind of help. Blending the bold money piece to the back foil sections and again same thing here, and the reason why i like doing these backcomb sections a little bit um right in the v triangle section connecting the two is because i don't want it to be like a brighter Money piece and then not have like a transition section to the rest of her hair, where it's going to be a little bit more blended. So doing this in, like directly behind the money piece, i feel like helps soften it up and gives it a better flow to the hair and easier transition to like the back section of the hair. All right now that we're into the foiling part of the service for the rest of her hair, we're just gon na, do a partial foil and when i foil over, like kind of over the side of the head in more rounded shape versus just straight down the Mohawk section i like to make sure that i'm just going over the curve of the head and if somebody parts their hair, a little bit more severe on the side, then i have to drop that side down a little bit further. So i'm going to be foiling down here and making sure that i'm foiling anything that needs to be lightened up. If i didn't foil down this far and there's a little bit more dark pieces on the side, then obviously make sure that you lighten those up nicely. But be really cautious of if you do have any pre-lightened hair that you push those sides. Those pieces aside, like i'm doing, to make sure that you don't cause any damage and the foil pattern that i'm going to be doing for her hair is all baby light. Weaves and every other weave, i'm going to be back combing just to help blend and soften the root a little bit more. So we're just going to continue this up and over the side of her head and on to the other side with minimal subsection in between. So the area where clients part their hair, i tend to pack the foils in almost back to back, just because i want to make sure that they have good coverage wherever their hair falls. So probably like an inch wide of a section is how tightly i pack, those foils in and then i'll gradually start just like leaving a minimal subsection in between after that and the reason why i do that is because um have you ever like blow-dried, some, a Client'S hair and you part their hair, exactly in the same, like the perfect spot, where their color shows beautifully like on either side of. However, you foiled the hair, but then they part their hair, how they part it and like move their hair, and then some of the blonde falls more on one side over the other. That is to help prevent that from happening. I want to make sure they have even color distribution on wherever their hair falls with that part. So i want to make sure that i'm packing those foils in at least just where they part their hair and do minimal subsection in that area to make sure they have even brightness on whatever side the hair falls, because, let's be honest, like the same strands of Hair is not going to fall in the same place every time, so we're just going to finish up the foil and finish foiling up the back section and i'm going to do a little bit further down than what i normally do. So we're just gon na add a few more extra foils in the back too, and then that will be it for our partial foil, and i want to say that i hope you guys charge accordingly for these foils like doing like minimal subsection to no subsection baby Lights back combing like this is not just a standard foil. I think i charge her like. I think i want to say it's around 200 for just this partial foil with the toner and additional bleach with solution whatever, but like a for a partial foil truly would be just down the mohawk section and that's it in my opinion, and maybe just like popping In like a few foils on the side and calling it good, but i feel like with these really intense blonding surfaces that people want, like a partial foil, is not just a partial foil anymore, so make sure that you're charging accordingly. If somebody comes in and they really just want to foil down their mohawk, then yeah, i would just charge them like the basic partial, foil um cost for that service. But i mean you can see all the foils that we put in, like that's, definitely more than just a partial foil, so make sure you charge accordingly um and also she probably took like an hour and a half to foil. That'S that's a lot more than just a standard partial. So here we go just checking to make sure that she's ready to rinse and now we're going to talk about toning okay, so my client just got done, processing and now we're gon na mix her toner. So her hair for how dark it is, we take really fine thin sections, so she gets pretty light pretty nicely, but sometimes there's just like, maybe a little bit of yellow still in the hair um. Maybe there's some level 9 in the hair. So because of that, we're going to do just like a touch of 9v into a are toning formulation. She wants to be very ashy and very bright, so we're going to mostly use 10a and 10pa and then just a splash of rose gold. Okay, probably three-fourths of my formulation were the level tens equal parts for those and then the rest of the formulation. I'M doing the 9v with just an unmeasurable amount of the rose gold with the processing solution, and that will sit for about 15 minutes and the reason why i use the rose gold is to help it prevent grabbing too dark. You guys know ashy tones tend to grab really dark, sometimes when the hair tends to be a little bit porous, which blonde tends to be porous or the hairline tends to be more porous or absorb a little bit more. So i feel like adding that just literally a drop of rose gold helps prevent it from over toning over grabbing and it helps keep the blonde nice and bright, even though we're going ashy also to prevent my hairline from over toning and grabbing really dark. I let that sit out until maybe like the last two to two to five minutes and you guys we have a bleeder. So let's address this right now we got a bleeder, i'm just being real. So i think what happened was when i was applying and with the backcomb um. I don't know if the backhoe might move the foil. I don't really know anyways. We got a freaking bleeder we're gon na deal with it i'd. Rather, i showed it to her. I blow-dried her hair saw how was it like a subtle one that wasn't really that bad? It was. I mean it's like not bad, but it's there, and it gives me too much too much anxiety to just leave things and walk away and like pretend it didn't happen, so i'd rather address it show the client be like hey. We just have little spots a quick fix, it's not a big deal because it's worse than when they go home and message you and be like hey, i have an orange spot and then now you got to try to figure them into your schedule, whatever anyways it. Just takes 10 minutes to fix so um, i'm going to show you what i'm going to use for this, i'm using a really thin like narrow brush. So i can just really go in there and dab like exactly where it's at and not try to spread it through the hair. I'M not gon na like comb it through. It'S just you know, barely touch it. I'M gon na use like just a small smidge of like 7-0 and then, like maybe twice the amount of seven two one just for her, because her hair is darker. But i don't necessarily wan na go as dark as her hair is because i don't want it to create an issue moving forward when we have to like retouch her bleach through her hair again so um. The orange spot is probably like level. Eight seven should cover it, so this is what we're going to do and how we're going to fix it. The reason why i'm using agora vibrance over paul mitchell, the demi for root shadow coverage, is because i feel like it will cover better than be more translucent. Also, look at her girl right now. Here'S a little bit of the after you can see how much her roots really blend. From this view, it really softened her roots up. You can see through a little bit more to her dimension. It eliminated that line she's, nice and bright, but it blends with her roots really nicely so we're just gon na go in here for that little bleeder and we're just gon na spot check it. I'M barely dabbing it barely tapping onto the root. I am not swiping. It down, i'm not blending it down at all, we're not trying to tone down the hair, we're just trying to eliminate that little orange mark there. So that's what we're gon na do and then we're gon na. Let it process for like 10 minutes and that's that's it. It doesn't have to be difficult. You don't have to be like ashamed of yourself and be like. Oh my god. I can't believe i got a bleeder. I got ta ignore this and act like it didn't happen like it happens, it just does sometimes so it's no big deal and she even said like i would never have noticed it, but i appreciate that you just acknowledge it and dealt with it and you know I feel like i can trust you that you're gon na fix whatever happens with my hair, and i feel, like you know, nobody else would do that, and i know that you'll take care of my hair with with or without me, noticing it like you're, not just Gon na lie to me about things so gain trust of your clients and always do quality work, don't sit there and like try to part their hair differently to where they can't see it. Because trust me, clients will call back and want you to fix it, and then it's going to be become more of an issue, so it doesn't have to be a big deal. So um we're just gon na let this process and here's her before again. You guys, i'm really sorry about the after, like because of having to fix that um that little bleeder kind of left little time for an after shot or styling or blow-drying or hair or whatever. So i apologize um and the light is directly on top of us right now versus kind of coming a little bit further away at an angle, so it's kind of showing down those roots a little bit heavier. But when i kind of lift the hair up, you can see how much softer it is than laying flat against the head with the light shining directly on it, so anyways um. Thank you guys so much for watching i apologize for the after. I know it sucks, but thank you for watching, don't forget to like and subscribe
