alright i have my next victim i feel like i'm cutting off everybody's hairall the time it's really fun but i want to make sure thatyou guys know that i'm not anti-long hair i think long hair is beautiful but i likeshort hair too
burgundy hair color black women, so this is awesome christina that i was telling you about, i cut her babywilliams hair a little while ago and she decided that she wants to chop offher hair a little bit at or below her shoulders and do a reallycute balayage
like peekaboo highlight technique so that'swhat we're doing today and i am ready to chop off this pony tail what i did was pulled it back the way shenaturally parted it when she came in i pulled it back in a ponytail and then iheld my fingers where that ponytail met and i pulled it back around front to make sure that was long enough for herso we have that length and this is where it is and we're going to cut it off now, when ido this i usually i usually just stick my shears in and do alittle bit at a time it helps to not make your shears dull
it's gone!!! it's scary. oh and look at her pretty ombreit's gone it's like a little pony horsey tail it's falling apart because i didn't put avery good elastic in there now i'm going to color it because this cutis definitely not done it's uneven, there's a long piece right here but you know what it's close enough to wherei won't be waisting a ton of color i'm going to do the color and then we'll cutit after the color is done
so for the color she wanted the top to notbe any maintenance so doesn't want to have highlightsthat come straight out from the top of her head so we're going to section off right at theroll of the head and that is where the head starts to roll down so like the top of the head would behere these are the sides this rolling part that's right on thatlittle roll that we're going to pull this hair up and i'm just doing a circle section inthe back and it doesn't have to be perfect i'm going to pull all of this hair and putit in a clip
now i'm not going to want to do anything onthe roots of this hair, i might pull it down and do just a few on the very ends like abalayage technique but all of the highlights that i paint onor i mean an ombre technique maybe just with this but i will a deeper highlight in throughhere to make the peekaboo but i will be using a balayage and that is just when you paintthe highlights onto the hair freehand and you're not usingfoils and i'm using the framesi decolor cream and i always use that when i do balayage techniquebecause if you're using foils it doesn't really matter you can use the bleach that swellsor whatever but if you're painting it on by and it swells then it will be messy and itwill give you polka dots all over the head
make sure that the cream or the color thatyou are using is non swelling when you're doing this technique and this is virgin hairit doesn't have any color on it we had the lightning on the end that we cut off but icould even just use a high lift color line on this because it hasn't had artificial colorput into it but sine we want it to be i don't know you said that you liked the reddish whatwas that in the picture that you showed me but that was her natural hair okay so you'renot wanting to change your natural no i guess not well i think that the balayage techniquewill give it that look a little bit anyway because so of the parts of the hair that justgot a little feather of the lightener will be more of a reddish tone than the actualhighlight part so it should melt and be similar
to that so i'm going to mix up the color okayso i mixed up 20 grams of the decolor cream and 20ml of the 40 volume developer and imade sure that i went with 40 because her hair is very dark and we don't want the highlightsto be too dark we want them to be pretty light right you gotta wear gloves when you do thisbecause it can get really messy and you need a few clips to help keep the hair up so i'mgoing to start on her right side and take down leave like an inch and a half sectiondown so just about that big side of her head and you need to pull it tight and then you'regoing to pick up your color your decolor cream or whatever you are using and you want tohave a good amount on the brush no like enough that's going to fall off but a good nice lineon there and you are going to pick a spot
and start and you just draw it down and theni usually do a little bit wow frog in my throat i usually do just a little bit different onthe levels just to make sure that it doesn't have like solid lines in there and these keepit real soft and natural so that you don't have huge noticeable lines and then on theends on just these little ends i'm going to saturate it a little bit so it's kind of abalayage or ombre kind of an ombre technique make sure you get both sides on the bottomand then you can just let it sit like that so we're going to take down the next sectionmake sure you wipe your hands off when you grab the next section i'm just going to do one big one on this oneright here right over her ear make sure there is a good amount of coloron the spots that you are lightening because
if it's too thin then it won't lift enoughokay so on this underneath one i had one and so on this one i'm just going to do the twoedges and bring it down so you can pull it a little bit tighter to a v shape and you'llnotice in the middle i did a teeny little one in the middle just to soften the lineokay this will be the last section on this side i'm going to leave this front piece outbecause it already has that really big one alright we'll just do a few small ones onthis one at different levels i like to do the ones that are a little bit taller by theface because naturally the hair around the face is usually a little bit lighter and if you see any really big chunks you cansmooth them down you don't want anything really huge dripping down into spots that you don'twant them so make sure it's clean but saturated
okay so that's all for that side lets do thesame thing on the other and you don't have to do the exact same pattern you can try tomatch it i'm going to kind of try to remember what i did but it doesn't it's not reallya huge deal it doesn't have t look the exact same as long as you have about the same amountof color in there it should look good so now we need to do something in the back and iwant it to match or be similar so i'm going to take that same type of thing pick up sectionsstarting from the back down here but you can go a little bit higher because it's okay tohave a darker base underneath back here so i'm going to start right there just belowor in the middle of the ears right before the head starts to roll under really steepso right there take a little bit more okay
and then i'm going to be working in two differentsections here because that's too big to hold in your hand and the hair would just not reachso i'll start over here i'm taking pretty big sections down probablyan inch and she has thick hair so it's a lot of hair but the more hair that you take downthe less noticeable the highlights will be because there's more thickness covering thembefore the next highlight level because i'm taking a big section down and then sectioningthat one off again back here to just be highlighting this smaller top section so that there's likean in-between making it a peekaboo color that kind of shows through the darker layer onthe sides i didn't do that because they're going to have all of this darkness layingover them and that will create the peekaboo
but since we're back here i'm just doing becauseit's faster and it doesn't really get seen so you don't really need to worry as muchback here and then if you have like i did a really bigchunk in the middle here so in order to give it a little bit of variation i'm going totake a little section and not paint that one at all so now that i'm up here closer to thetop my section is a little bit smaller so i can handle this whole piece because of howwe sectioned off the top so i'll just do three highlights on this one and you can see as i'm getting closer to the top i'm taking alittle bit smaller section just because iwant there to be a little bit more lightness on the top
you can see the ends over here are alreadylightening up really nicely getting a really pretty nice blond color so i'm glad that we'reon our last section becausecatch it needs to up alright so that's pretty much it i don't think we're going to do any on the top at all just because she already has these leftoverlittle bit of highlight on the ends from the last time we did her balayage and that's goingto blend it in real nicely and we kind of want it to be peekaboo anyway so i think we'redone with the color we'll just let you process back here for another 15 and if these aretoo light if these are done if these one process all the way to where i'm like oh i like howlight those are and this isn't done yet then i can just rinse out the two front sectionsand leave the back if i need to do that but
i don't think i will i think it will be okayit's actually natural looking to have the hair slightly lighter color in the front thanthe back so that's why i started in the front with this one okay i let it process how longdid we let that process probably like 25-30 minutes so like 30 minutes and i just watchedit and it looks light enough to me i'm probably going to tone it with a b because it has alittle bit of an orange tone to it so i'll use a redkin shades eq 9b you can see hereit's a really pretty caramel blond there is a tiny little bit of brassiness in it it'snot bad but i like the tone that toners give so i'm going to tone it okay i just washedher hair out i am mixing up the toner just an ounce of the 9b it's called sterling andit's from the shades eq and then you have
to use the processing solution it's one toone so and ounce of the processing solution and i always just when i'm doing toning ijust mix it with my finger real quick cause it's not going to be on my hands for verylong and also i ring out the hair to get all of the extra moisture out because hair islike a sponge so we gotta try to get some of the water out so it soaks up the tonernice so even towel dry it if you have to to make sure that you get all of that extra waterthat you can get out okay so now we're ready to pour the toner on and since it's mostlyon her ends we don't need to tone this top section but it's okay if it gets everywherebecause it only deposits on the hair that's lighter than a 9 or lightened hair it won'tdo anything to her brown natural hair so it's
not something scary just pour it all overand work it into the roots and sometimes to get all the rest of the color out i dip theends in to kind of smear it around an soak up the last little bit and then you can actuallywatch the hair change it's like magic right before your eyes so the brassiness is justgetting covered up by that blue tone and it's turning into that really pretty caramel colorso you can see that's a different tone and it looks much better so i love toning almostevery time i lighten i use a toner of some kind usually unless they want it really reallybright and i got it lighter with the bleach then i can leave it sometimes but that's goodi think it's time to rinse it out okay everyone we are done with the color and i'm going tocut her hair now so the link to the haircut
will be right here and i will show you theend result of the color after i do her haircut because then it will be dry and you can seeit and it will be prettier so i hope this
color technique helped you and it gave yousome new ideas to leave the top untouched and just do the peekaboo highlights it's afun new idea and i hope you guys try it let me know how it goes give me thumbs up andcomment and let me know what you guys want to see next time we'll see you later bye
