I'M going to show you how to remove that color and i'm going to show you how to use the guy tang. My identity express express toner in the color titanium. This is the end result of that. I'M also going to show you how to really quickly do a razor cut, and this is the end result. So if you want to see how i achieve this look, keep watching hey, it's marquette and president and i'm back with another video. So in this video i'm going to show you what to do. If you overtone now with this particular wig, i was actually in full transparency filming a video last week trying to show you how to pull the warm tones out of this wig. But i was using a purple shampoo that i had never used before. Needless to say, it was super pigmented and it picked up some of those purple tones. So not only did it tone out all the warmth, but it took in all the purple. So i'm going to show you how to get rid of this hot mess all right. So the first thing you want to do. Actually, let me tell you what i'm going to do first. So when i was in cosmetology school, they showed us multiple, different things. When it came to hair color, i actually went to a cosmetology school where i learned how to do hair on predominantly non-black folk. Okay, so i knew a lot. I learned a lot about hair color and not to say that you don't learn that in a predominantly african-american cosmetology school, but let's just be real. We don't always teach hair, color and other techniques when we go to cosmetology school. So i learned a lot about hair color in this particular cosmetology school that i went to so with that being said, we learned how to do color correction and one of the things that we learned how to do. Color correction um was using a strategy or technique called a shampoo cap. Now let me say this for all you cosmetologists that are going to show up in my comment section. Let me say this because i am a licensed cosmetologist as well. The shampoo cap has multiple different ways of doing it. There is no one way. The way i learn was not the way um. Some people learn now. The way i learned to do a shampoo cap. The shampoo cap is designed to lift the hair slightly all right. So what you do is you mixed bleach with shampoo or you can say, lightener lightener with shampoo. Some people do this with a developer. Some people do it without a developer, all right. I'Ve done it both ways you can even lift here with developer. You can do a lot of different things, so the way i'm going to do this today is i'm just going to use my wella blonde blondor. Let me tell you something about this stuff. Oh my gosh. I love it if i have to use a lightener. This is my go-to lightener, 95, no 98 of the time. It'S always blondor um and then i'm going to be using the colestone just a tad bit of this 10 developer with my joyco moisture. Is this moisture rich moisture recovery? Shampoo? All right? This is not a purple shampoo. This is a regular shampoo, i'm going to mix everything in the bowl and then i'm going to come back wet this hair down. Actually, i'm going to go ahead and do that now, i'm just going to take my spray bottle now. Normally this is done under a sink, but obviously i don't have a sink in front of me because i'm doing teaching this video. So i'm just going to wet this hair down real good enough to allow that shampoo to start penetrating and working. And then i'm going to go off camera and go to the sink, because that's not what i did last time. I tried to get cute and do everything in bowls and it didn't work out so well. So i'm gon na start the process here and then i'm gon na go off camera and finish everything, but i'm gon na walk you through this whole process. Okay, so i'm just wetting this hair down enough just to break the hair down for me to start applying the shampoo cap. Okay, now i'm gon na go ahead actually before i do that, i need another pin to pin this side down right here. I'Ll, be right! Back now, wella is a professional line. So if you're not a licensed cosmetologist, you won't be able to get your hands on it, but um. You can just improvise with lightener that you and developer that you can get from sally's. Okay, i've wet this down, really really good. Now, what i'm going to do is i'm going to roll my table over here so that you can see me mix okay, so the first thing i'm going to do is i'm going to take my shampoo now normally when you're shampooing hair you're not going to mix Your shampoo in a bowl like this, but because we're doing a shampoo cap, that's what i'm gon na do here. Okay, the shampoo dilutes the bleach, this one god bless it, so it is running out, but i don't believe in wasting product. So i'm just gon na put and notice i'm not measuring, because you don't need to measure for a shampoo cap. You can just eyeball it so i'm putting about. If i had to make a measurement guess it's about one and a half to two ounces. I could have measured it okay now you do not have to use developer. I know i said earlier i was going to, and this is how much i'm just to activate it just a little bit boom. That'S all! I'M using now you're like that ain't gon na make a difference. Trust me. I'Ve done this enough time to know that it does make a slight difference. So now what i'm gon na do is i'm gon na grab one of my from our brushes and then i'm gon na mix everything up and then i'm gon na start applying. Okay, just mix this up real real good. So with that blondor is super super thick. So that's why i'm stabbing stabbing my brush in here just making sure i break that product up real good. Here'S, the key with the shampoo cap. You have to watch it like a hulk. You can be getting cute and think you're going to leave it and let it sit for a minute because, depending on the porosity of the hair, it could lift very very quickly alright. So this is good and mixed wipe off that excess product. Okay, i'm gon na lay my brush aside, because i may need to mix some more always wear gloves when you're working with hair color. Now i have a latex allergy, so i use those nitrite nitro whatever you call, it gloves all right and i'm ready to go so i'm going to move my table back over move the wig back in and start applying, i'm going to start applying and then i'm Going to go off camera and finish applying and then i'll come back when i'm all done all right here we go, i'm just going to add a little bit of my hands and i'm going to start to massage it into the hair. I can already tell i'm going to need more, but it's all good so, as i stated i'm going to start mixing this on camera, so you can see it's not suzing up because there's not enough water. Okay, all right! I'M gon na go off camera now and i'm gon na take the wig to the sink. So i can continue this process and then i will return to show you what it looks like when it's all in here. Okay, so this is the end result. You can see that there is a slight pigment left, which is fine. The only thing you want to do is keep you want to keep doing it until you get it all out. You don't want to do it too much, because you could potentially over process the hair. So for me, i'm not concerned with leaving a little bit of that pigment in because for the toner that i'm going to be using to do it all over toner um. It'S going to add a little bit of dimension with that color left in. So it's quite all right. So the type of toner that i'm going to be using for this wig is by guy tang. It'S my identity and the color is titanium. So, in order to apply the color, the hair has to be damp. So that's why i'm going to leave the hair damp just like this, i'm going to just run my fingers through it just to kind of just to air. Let it air out just a little bit while i mix the toner okay. Now i'm gon na move the wig block over to the side, and i'm gon na show you how to mix the toner okay. So here we are with the my identity toner now. This is the express toner, so once you actually get the toner on the hair, you only have to work for five minutes before rinsing it out now. This toner is a one to two mixing ratio. What that means is you use one part toner to two parts developer all right. The developer that i'm using is the six volume demi permanent developer, which is what goes with this demi permanent, express toner all right, so i always always always always use a scale so that i don't waste product and i always mix to the specifications or the manufacturer's Directions all right, so i'm going to place my color bowl on the scale and then i'm going to turn it on okay, i measure in ounces some people measure in grams. I measure in ounces, okay, the top punctures and opens it up, and i don't have my key with me. The key allows you to roll down without wasting product, so i know i'm most likely going to use this whole tube on that hair. It smells amazing, normally color stinks. This smells good, i'm so shocked. Okay, so right now, i'm at 1.2 ounces. Okay, it should be about two ounces or close to it. I told y'all, i'm getting all this product out of this tube. Okay, all right is exactly 1.90. So now what i'm gon na do is zero my scale out again and put 1.902 times all right. Now, i'm going to do after i scratch my head is mix with my from our brush. I have to say that most color stinks awfully bad. Now. Let me talk about uh toners and these express toners and all of that stuff. You can get really really really creative with these express toners, um, there's one by my identity, guy tang's, my identity, that is called blush amazing, it's absolutely beautiful and you can weave these. You can alternate you can do all kinds of things with these toners, but what i'm going to do is i'm going to keep it simple. You know i do have the dimension from the little bit of pigment that was left from the purple shampoo that i did when i before we went and did the shampoo cap, which is fine not normally. If i was to do something else with that wig, i would not have left that behind. Actually, i wouldn't even use that shampoo that i wasn't familiar with. I would have went to what i know or used a toner to pull that out. So nonetheless, it is what it is it happens. I want to make sure you get a good and nice mixture. I love the consistency of this product, it's not overly runny, but it's also not overly thick. So when i start to apply it, i'm going to be able to move very very quickly. Okay, now that it's mixed, i'm going to bring my wig block back into the shot and i'm going to start applying the color. That part is going to go very very quickly for you, but not for me, because most of it is going to be done off camera because it's very redundant all right. Also, you want to make sure that you are using gloves anytime. You work with a chemical anytime. You work with products you want to use gloves, you probably should use gloves to mix it. Also in case you have any mishaps, i did not use gloves to mix it, but when i apply, i will absolutely use gloves always make sure you're using gloves. Plus you don't want that color all over your beautiful fingers. Okay, so give me one second to prep the shot and i'll be right back. Okay. So now i have pinned the hair or clip the hair away, and i only have this bottom section, which is actually wefts so i've taken out. I think this is two wefts. So i'm gon na go two wets at a time and i'm gon na paint the um. I was about to call it developer. I'M gon na paint the toner on the hair and then i'm just do the whole thing. When i come back i'll be done, but i'll show you how to paint it down here, the key to this is saturation. You want to make sure it's fully saturated all right, so i have my gloves on and i am going to use foils just to because i don't want the actually. I may not use foils. Let'S see how this goes then i'll decide. Okay, i have my developer here. Lord, it's not developer, it is um toner, okay, i was gon na paint. The toner all the way down make sure it's fully saturated, pull all the way through. Okay. Now this lace back here in the back has not been cut. Yet so i'm not worried if i get the toner on the lace. Okay, if i were doing something more precise, like um, let's say doing some three-dimensional color or something like that. I would be very meticulous about that part and placement and making sure that i'm pulling thin sections of hair. But that's not what i'm doing here. I'M just simply toning. The whole thing: okay, nice saturation, making sure that it's all the way down to the ends and then i'm going to continue to move up. So when i come back i'll have all of the toner painted on the hair okay. So this is kind of the finished product when the hair is lighter, you'll be able to really see because it when it's wet it has these really uh dark tones, but it came out exactly the way i thought it would and now i'm just gon na go Through with my razor i'm gon na cut a bob so um, i learned how to use this razor years ago, when i was in cosmetology school - and this is always my go-to - i love the sheers they're great, but i just can work wonders with the razor. So i'm going to go through and i'm going to razor cut a nice bob. So the first thing i'm gon na do is i'm gon na establish the length it's going to be a bit of a long bob, so i'm gon na do my first cut on here now. If this were a person, i would go through and do my sections and all that, but it's not it's a wig now. What i like about the razor is that it doesn't give you a blunt blonde, i'm not going for a black line, so i really really love the drama of the razor. I miss you all right, and so this is the finished product. We have a lot of dimension in here and remember i told you in the beginning i left some of the purple hue in the hair when i was showing you in the very beginning when i was showing you how to get the purple out from the purple. Shampoo, i left some of that purple in to give some dimension. So you see some lighter pieces. You see some darker pieces. You see a little bit of rooting up here at the top and overall i think it came out very nice. So what i did with the cut is, i just went through and i just razored a bob razor, some bangs and it's simple and it's done now when i put it on my daughter, i did not glue it down and do all of that whole ordeal. I just put it on here so that you can see a pretty face with the finished product. Thank you guys. So much for watching and i'll talk to you soon.
