alright i have a big transformation for you guys today this is my client nancy and she actually found me off of youtube so that was really cool
best hair color for light brown hair, she contact me on instagram and love my tutorials so she came over so i just want to say thanks nancy for being my first youtube client that was really cool
experience for me but we took her to this really ashy blonde and kind of a smudged root so she also wanted it to look like it had like a balayage type of look and this was just one try guys so i'm really really impressed and i'm absolutely obsessed with the way it looks and if you have a client who wants to be really ashy blonde like this
keep watching ok so to begin of course i'm going to do some face frame highlights i do three on each section so two at the temples and then one at the top so when i do is face from highlights and make sure they're all woven and i just weave them back-to-back and just make sure you completely saturate the hair and then
i'm going to go into a mohawk section and do a partial highlight so when i do this partial highlight i take weaves for every section and for these weaves i'm going to do a much finer weave usually if somebody wants to have a lot of dimension and show a lot more of a dramatic look i'll do a thicker weave but for this i wanted to look more natural
and blended it so i'm doing really fine weaves for her and i'm doing these back-to-back and i'm totally saturating everything in the foil and i'm going to take that partial highlight all the way to the back her head right past the crown's that when she does pull her hair down that entire back of the head is covered so make sure
you go all the way to the back of the crown section of the head just so you're safe there and you don't have a big dark spot that is missing not being colored so now i'm going to begin by taking horizontal sections all the way up the head if you guys watch my last tutorial with dusty rose balayage this is the exact same color technique that i used
but i'm just gonna do a ashy blonde toner instead of doing that rose gold so if you find that you need something quick and easy to get done in a client that wants a very big change this is a great technique to use and they're going to love the results because you're basically giving them everything that they want but you're not killing
yourself doing it so as you can see i'm taking big v sections again and i'm completely saturating the ends and make sure to leave out that depth in the center because that's really what makes these looks look so gorgeous have all that beautiful dimension you don't want to totally brighten everything and then make them look just whitewashed because
that's not as pretty of a color look so make sure you keep that to mention open there and i'm just taking horizontal sections all we have the head on either side and completely covering them with foil and that way you're insulated with the balayage so the heat gets in there and really lifts to the total amount because for girls who want to go this
ashy you all know that you need to get it as bright as possible so that's what i'm doing here i'm letting it sit as long as possible and i check her hair every 10 minutes make sure the integrity is still good and how you do that is by grabbing the ends and you pull and of course if there's any type of pull where some hair actually starts to stretch
your come off definitely take it off but hopefully you'll never get to that point because using a bond builder and not using too high of a developer will keep you totally safe there so make sure you do that just protect your clients hair because obviously that is the number one goal and make sure that you explain your clients like hey this might not happen
the first time it might take a couple times and they need to understand you are the professional and you know best and you're not trying to lie to them or cut down their dreams but if you don't tell your clients truth and be honest with them they're going to have way too high of expectations and then you're going to look like you're being
dishonest which isn't usually true but sometimes clients think that so make sure you back yourself up with all the knowledge that you have because you guys are amazing hair stylist and really trust in yourself and your own opinion and like clients know that this is you trying to be the best hairdresser you could be and keep their hair it's free
of the conditions possibly can be ok so once you finish the back i'm just going to gather all that extra hair that was coming out from those foils and i just lightly tease those sections back just so we mostly get the ends and i'm just going to balayage the ends really quick i figure why not because when those are hanging out you're going to see those
dark lines so for this look i'm mostly want everything to be light on the bottom so just grabbing those and doing a quick little balayage on them throwing a couple foils on there and then she is good to go so now i'm going to check her face frame highlights i always check those as soon as i'm done because they process the fastest so you
need to take those out just grab a wet towel and pull them out while they're sitting and then everything else thinks the process then you can let them process but her face frames weren't done yet i think i needed about 10 more minutes on them she was pulling a pretty gold color she is so dark so i'm gonna let her sit
for about i think about another 20 to 30 minutes and i just focused most of the heat on the bottom and on the ends and when i did look in the foils at the top after about 20 more minutes they were totally good so once the ends are heated and the top was done then i pulled everything out and did the glaze which i'm going to show you in just a second
alright so now i'm using a three and four the route and i know you guys might be thinking that is so dark i was not gonna show up at all with any of these highlights but when you put such a dark color on such light hair like this is almost going to look like a 5n on her root and sometimes i put a 5 on and i really wish that i had more dramatic
feel so i gave 3n a shot here and i it was perfect it's exactly what i wanted it to look like so i did about two capfuls of 3n and then shades eq equal parts and you guys have a new shades eq it is one of the best toners ever its sheer but it still gives of packs a punch as far as toning out yellow and
orange brassy tones and it also has just the most beautiful look to it so i highly recommend that if you guys are experimenting with any different color brands redken shades eq is by far my favorite toner so i'm just going to go and take pretty much like vertical sections and paint the root down about an inch and what i like to do is make
sure that when i'm painting the root and keep the front out until the very end because i want that to be poppy and bright and just make sure you just take that section out because your clients that's what they want to see when they get done with their color services ninety-nine percent of the time they want that poppy color in the front and
then i'll just save you guys the hassle of having to go back and do a quick highlight in the front because it wasn't bright enough for anything like that so just keep that front piece out until the very end it'll change everything about your colors and i'm just going to go around her head and do basically an inch down with every section i'm just
painting it on lightly and just make sure you don't put too much on the brush so it doesn't fall on any other part of the hair because once that grabs it would especially grab on the ends because they are so porous so just take your time and make sure you get completely saturated all over the root and then i'm going to
take my other toner and i'm going to apply that all over the ends and really make sure you take small sections and completely saturate everything and brush through if you want because that would just make sure everything is evenly distributed and your client won't have any orange spots or any weird spots that are left over and you'll have a very
happy client so i'm going to begin blow drying her and right now i'm using redken guts it's a volumizer that has this targeted pump on it which is really great because wherever i spray that pump it goes exactly where i spray it so that's a really nice feature and now i'm going to begin blow drying the front of her face first with my elcheim blowdryer and i'm
going to make sure that i get it nice and smooth and dry by drying it from wet to dry and once i keep blowing this out you guys are going to see how beautiful this color turned out and how they're still a lot of dimension in there it's not just a bunch of blonde everywhere and i just really love the way it turned out on her she looks so pretty with this
light color and i was really worried because her hair was so dark that was going to pull this orange brassy color she's been doing a lot of darker hair for a while but using that ph bonder from redken has really saved her hair and really brought her to the level that she wanted without damaging it also i'm really really happy with it
alright so here is the final look and as you can see it got super light all over but it's still left a lot of dimension which is exactly what i wanted friends are super bright poppy and everything was really easy to tone because we lift heard such a light level that it just grab that beautiful creamy
blonde color so thank you guys so much
for watching i appreciate it so much and i can't wait to show you my next tutorial thanks guys see
