there is a very obvious line of demarcation where kelly’s roots have grown in. she wants to stay blonde but she wants the regrowth to be more camouflage as it grows in in the future - to PREVENT frequent trips to the salon.
veronica has a couple of different options with how she can reach this goal.
one option would be to add a little bit of kelly’s NATURAL COLOUR back into her ends so that she looks like she has low lights. this would help to soften out the harsh growth line as her hair grows in.
the other option is to do a SHADOWED ROOT. in a shadowed root is a dark root fading into blonde. the best way to achieve a shadowed root is by staggering the amount of dark left our of the foil. this creates a soft blend of the dark to light so will prevent any harsh lines as the hair grows back in.
with shadowed roots, the roots are still visible - which some people may not like. however, if the person wants low maintenance color, it's really the best solution.
it breaks up the line of demarcation so that your roots blend into the ends as it grows out.
ultimately, kelly chooses to do the shadow root. this way, veronica can keep kelly’s hair super blonde (as kelly wants).
and then for the cut, kelly wants to keep her hair long, but not as long as it is now. she wants off all of the “quarantine length” that grew in over the last few months of isolation.
veronica is going to do a simple FOUR QUADRANT sectioning pattern.
making sure to use kellys NATURAL PART to separate the front two sections.
then, veronica is going to start FOILING the hair in the front sections.
PRO TIP: always start on the side with MORE hair. it's going to take much longer to foil the larger section, than the smaller section that has less hair. this will ensure that the PROCESSING TIME is fairly even. if you were to foil the smaller section first, it would be completed much quicker and would have a lot more processing time. uneven processing time leads to uneven colours!
she will start on the bottom of the section and work her way up. veronica is going to be using a combination of BABY LIGHTS and FINE WEAVES.
the reason why veronica is using this foil placement is because kelly's hair is VERY FINE. if veronica chose too heavy of an effect - the blonde would look too chunky in her hair.
kelly has a lot of baby hairs in the front of her face. these hairs tend to be more fragile than the rest. it also LIFTS much quicker than the rest of the hair.
to avoid damaging these baby hairs, veronica is going to foil the whole head first and foil the baby hairs at the very end. this way she doesnt have lightener on it for very long.
here are all of kelly’s FOILS APPLIED.
veronica will now go back to the baby hairs in the front. they will take very little time to lighten.

this new cut is still going to be long on top we well but we’re going to BLEND out all of the disconnection that davis currently has. this style is going to be a lot easier for him to style.
davis needs a haircut that can work around his life. he intends to put time into styling it, but there are occasions where he may just want to WASH and GO. veronica is going to make sure the cut is still something that he could wear messier, pushed to the side, or pulled back.
when he does have the time to style, he will have to put the front swoop into his hair with either a round brush or flat iron.
veronica will demonstrate a 5-minute BLOW DRY to get that bold swoop at the front, fast and easily.
there is a bit of a challenge here, as davis has been wearing his part down the middle for a long time. if he is not dedicated to styling it and blow drying it out, his hair is going to part in the center by default. we will cover how to prevent that at the end as well!
veronica is going to start with the cut first to get off the stuff that she doesn’t need to colour.
she is going to cut the back and sides short and leave the length on top, for now. leaving the top longer will make it easier to put foils in.
the ENTIRE TOP of his head is going to be highlighted.
in the crown, veronica is going to be using a SCISSOR OVER COMB technique to cut his hair.
PRO TIP: when cutting the crown of the head, make sure to comb all the hair into it’s natural growth pattern before you start to cut. this is a VISUAL PROCESS that will be different from person to person.
davis has some STRONG GROWTH PATTERNS and cowlicks in his hair. we need to take that into account so that his hair sits properly when he styles it.
the first step is to comb the hair into the direction that it grows BEFORE YOU CUT IT. this will make his hair easy to WASH and STYLE.
if we don’t comb his hair into his natural growth pattern before cutting it that way, davis is going to be fighting with his hair all the time.
veronica is going to be pulling the hair straight up from his head and working her way towards the front hairline.
she is going to use her first section as the GUIDE for the entire top of his head. she will overdirect each new section into the previous section. this will give a slight increase in length as you move towards the face.
veronica is going to foil the top section of his head.
because the finished color will be blended highlights, davis will see his black roots come in, but it won't be harsh.
depending on how he styles it, he won't really see a LINE of DEMARCATION as it grows out.
veronica is going to just do two sections to keep it organized.
she is going to alternate between a WEAVE and SLICE pattern. she will start placing foils in at the front of his hairline.
veronica is going to put in a FOIL right along his hairline so that davis will see blonde if he pulls his hair back.
the first foil is going to be a medium weave.
after leaving about ¼ inch of space, the next foil is going to be a slice.
veronica is going to work her way through the section, alternating between weaves and slices.
she is going to be putting in the foils with a HEAVY DENSITY. that means that there's not going to be much spacing in between each foil. for this look, she wants about 50% black and 50% blonde hair.
make sure to foil the crown so that you don't have any dark patches of dark back there.
moving on to the other side, we are going to be MIRRORING what we did on this side.
because his hair is all going to be worn forward,veronica will put his foils in HORIZONTALLY.
PRO TIP: be sure to take into consideration how the hair is going to be worn so that you can put your foils in accordingly based on the type of highlights you want to see.
here are davis's foils all applied.
we can see the colour PROCESSING and is looking awesome.
veronica is now going to mix the toner.
at the sink, davis is ready to RINSE OUT. you can see how nice the blonde is. this is the perfect palette for us to put the toner on.
this is what the colour looks like PRE TONER with all the lightner washed out.
veronica is toning with half 8a and a half 10p from matrix. this is going to tone out all of the yellow and the WARMTH so that he will end with a really nice beige blonde.
here's the toner all applied. you can see it's already starting to NEUTRALIZE out the yellow in there.
we can see the toner IN ACTION. it's ready to rinse out. the yellow is NEUTRALIZED.
here's the toner washed out. we can definitely see pieces that are blonde and black but once this is blow dried, it's all going to blend together.
veronica is going to blend out his sides and make sure the LENGTH is exactly where davis wants it.
if you see a corner like this, that means there’s a DISCONNECTION. to blend it out, just cut out the corner.
PRO TIP: you want to make sure that the hair is sitting naturally how it would fall before you cut it. if you don't cut with the GROWTH PATTERN in mind, the person wearing it is going to have to fight with it all the time.
to check if there are any corners, veronica is going to take pie shaped sections from the crown and pull them straight out from the head. cut out any corners that you find.
growth patterns can be challenging to deal with in coarse hair textures.
oftentimes, there could be hair that wants to STICK OUT like this. to fix this, veronica will texturize into that piece to soften it.
at this point, veronica will go in visually and clean up the corners using a scissor over comb technique.
davis wants a little bit of disconnection in the front, so vernonia will make sure to leave out the hair at the front.
now to clean it up and do some FINE TUNING on the length.
veronica is starting from the back of his head to choose her length. she is going to OVER DIRECT the hairs back to this guide length to preserve length in the front.
then, another pass over the CORNERS to ensure his cut is blended properly.
davis has another cowlick on his front right that veronica will have to work around.
PRO TIP: when a client comes in with an inspiration photo, you’ll likely need to CUSTOMIZE it a bit to account for their natural growth patterns.
here you can easily see his cowlick (on the left) because it sticks straight out. veronica is going to cut into that a little bit so that it LIES FLAT for him.
veronica is going to do the same on the other side now.
every look should be customized to your client’s head of hair.
veronica is going to TEXTURIZE his whirl to break up the blonde and to soften his “ whirl growth pattern”.
veronica continues to customize the cut to be perfect for davis’ head and hair growth patterns.
this length is perfect for davis. he can wear it down like so, or he can even part it like he had before.
now veronica will show davis how to get that bold front swoop in just a few minutes.
the three things you need to ensure you have the style you want are
since his cut is done, let's get into the products and the tools.
we're going to be putting in our nvenn ‘texture’ paste.
it's a whipped paste and very PLIABLE, so it's really great for blow dry styling. the nice part about this paste is that it is LIGHT and FLUFFY, so it's not going to feel gunky in the hair at all and it's actually really nice for holding weight.
veronica is going to be putting the paste in ROOTS to ENDS and adding a small amount to his sides to ensure they lay flat.
veronica is instructing davis to use a DENMAN BRUSH. it is a very good stylist brush and it is actually going to be easier for him to use than a round brush.
veronica is going to give his hair a quick, POWDER DRY with the product in. once she’s removed the excessive moisture, she’ll use a brush to finish the style.
she starts by just using her hands to MOLD his HAIR up.
finally, veronica will incorporate the brush to finish off the style like Chase Ko (tik tok star).
picking up the hair with the brush, you're going to be pulling it up and out. your goal is to ROUND it up (bevel the ends up).
Veronica wants to give davis’s hair some BODY and LIFT.
and just like that - the style is done!
last thing veronica is going to do is clean up his neck line.
veronica is going to fade in the perimeter so that davis has a natural hairline rather than it looking blocked off.
the last thing you want to do for all short haircuts is to clean up the neck and get rid of any short hairs that might still be there. a STRAIGHT RAZOR is perfect for this.
finishing the look off with some of nvenn’s ‘fix’ hairspray to hold it in.
it is the BEST for finishing the hair with WEIGHTLESS BODY. this will give you the same body that you would normally get on “DAY 2” of your style. it is scented with SWEET ORANGE to give your hair a citrusy clean finish!
and here you have it!

hey beauty activists!
today veronica is doing a colour change for our model ximena. ximena is staying in the same colour family, keeping her natural colour on top with some of the blonde at the bottom. however, veronica is going to be changing up the color placement a bit.
the target is a colour that ximena had a while ago that she ABSOLUTELY LOVED. unfortunately, she hasn't been able to recreate it.
in this photo, you can see the colour pattern is quite different from what ximena has now.
in ximena’s hair now, the bottom half of her hair is super blonde, so we're not seeing those DEFINED PIECES of blonde in there.
to give her that definition that she is looking for, we’re going to add in some lowlights through her ends to break up the blonde, and some blonde through her regrowth to break up the dark.
there's actually going to be less blonde, but the blonde will be more EYE CATCHING due to the contrast.

upon examining a couple other of ximena's photos, we can see that she does have a lot of blonde on her ends. veronica wants to keep some of the blonde so rather than putting on a solid color over it, she will just lowlight it to break it up.
she is going to do a LOW-DENSITY FOIL PATTERN since the client wants to see that ‘pieciness’.
PRO TIP: it's a really good idea to evaluate and look at MULTIPLE PHOTOS. you don't want to go off one image where the hair is parted in a certain way. check out multiple photos to see what their hair looks like from all angles so that you get the foil pattern correct!
veronica has already cut ximena’s hair and is ready to get started with the foils.
here's her hair SECTIONED OUT. veronica has used ximena’s natural part to separate it down the center.
then each side is split in half right above the ears to create FOUR QUADRANTS.
veronica is now colour matching ximena’s natural hair.
in the first photo, veronica tries a level six. 6N is a little bit lighter than what we need.
she then checks level 5, which didn’t quite blend in.
finally, a level 4 matches perfectly!
the goal is to match her natural colour as closely as possible to MIMIC the COLOUR that grows out of her head. this way, as her hair grows out, she doesn't have to continuously redo the brown - just touch up the blonde.
starting at the bottom of the section and working our way up, veronica starts to apply color to the front right quadrant.
the pattern that she is using is two blonde slices to one low light slice of 4n (which is ximena’s NATURAL COLOUR). veronica will make sure that the blonde slices are spaced out enough so that the highlights are distinct (rather than having a blended color at the end). she will leave about ¾” between each blonde slice.
after the second blonde foil, veronica will be putting in a back to back lowlight with NO SPACES IN BETWEEN! the lowlight will fill in the natural color that is missing through her ends.
ximena’s pattern will be : “blonde - ¾” space - blonde - 2 lowlights - repeat”
veronica continues up the section, following the same foiling pattern.
under the temples and on the sides, veronica is going to be using a HORIZONTAL SLICING pattern. this is going to create a blended effect with the blonde and the dark.
once veronica gets to the top of the section, she switches the direction of her foils to VERTICAL.
ximena wants the highlights around her face to look ‘piecey’. she wants CHUNKY BLONDE SECTIONS, rather than a diffused color.
horizontal foils are great for blending the colours together. however, today veronica is going to use VERTICAL FOILS to get a final look with very defined pieces of blonde against very defined pieces of dark.
make sure to MIRROR the exact same thing you did on the first side on the second other so that you have symmetry.
that being said, we don’t want a symmetrical look on the top of the head. because her highlights are “chunkier”, a symmetrical look WILL look stripey.
to avoid this, you want to pay attention to how you foil the top on the first side and STAGGER the BLONDE a bit on the other side so that you don't have them lined up exactly.
here is a closeup of the thickness of the lowlight. you can see the section of spacing that veronica is holding is about THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH.
veronica is going to use the SAME FOILING PATTERN and start at the bottom and work her way up. since she started on the right in the front, she will start in the back on the left.
PRO TIP: you don't want one side of the head to be processed a lot longer than the other side. by continuing to go counterclockwise, you avoid having the entire left side process for longer than the right side. you can also choose to go clockwise as well, just make sure to follow the same direction.
the next foil in our pattern is supposed to be the lowlight slice. however, veronica can see on the strand here that there is no blonde on the ends here so she will not colour it since it's already dark.
instead, she is going to SKIP the SPACING that she normally would have in between the blonde and just move onto the next blonde slice.
make sure when you get to theTOP of EACH SECTION that you're being very conscious of how your top foils are placed. you do want the pattern to be mirrored on both sides and as well from back to front.
for example, if you've ended the top of each section with a blonde slice, you'd want to do that with every section.
now every section has a piece of blonde at the top.
veronica kept a little diamond shaped section at the very top that she is going to color dark. this will fall evenly over all of the sections creating a small veil of dark over top of the highlights.
all of ximenas foils are now in!
veronica is going to check on the processing and - it's the perfect lightness for us to wash out and tone!
this is the toner all applied. veronica chose a 9n to tone the blonde with. she doesn’t want to NEUTRALIZE all of the warmth out of there. a 9n will look like a champagney, creamy blonde at the end.
ximena is now out of the sink now and we're ready to style. veronica is going to be prepping the hair with the nvenn products.
first she is putting in our nvenn replenish restoration oil. this oil is amazing to use after any colour service. nvenn’s ‘replenish’ is an AMAZING OIL that FILLS in the cracks and crevices of the hair. it SMOOTHS OUT the hair and FINISHES your hair with LUSTER AND SHINE. perfect for any hair style and it is very easy to use!
you're just going to put ‘replenish’ in from the mid shaft to the ends. it's a super LIGHT WEIGHT oil, so it's great for all textures of hair! you're not going to have to worry about it feeling too greasy or weighing the hair down.
next, veronica is going to be spritzing in ‘protect’ heat protector. this is an amazing heat protectant! it puts a layer on the hair to create a BARRIER on your hair to PROTECT it from the heat. it's also an ANTI-STATIC product that will cut down your blow dry time.
the last prep product veronica is going to use is the heat-activated weightless volumizer. it is great for giving your hair tons of BODY and VOLUME that lasts ALL DAY LONG. like all of our products, it is weightless. you can put it in your hair and not worry about feeling gunky, heavy, and weighed down.
just apply it to damp hair and finish your blow dry as you normally would.
and finally after the blow dry, the look is COMPLETE!
ximena will see a different density of blonde depending on how she parts her hair. this will give her look some nice VARIETY when she's styling it.
you can see how the colour is falling to frame her face. it looks awesome!

hey guys, veronica is in the studio with angie. angie has a fun and complex colour that she is wanting REMOVED today.
the last time we did angie’s hair was eons ago! you can see the remnants of when this colour was done. however, it has been at least a year since she has been in the studio.
we have a lot going on here. when the colour was applied A YEAR AGO, it was a reddish tone that melted into balayage of a bright copper colour. everyone knows that copper tones do not last in hair as long as we all would like.
since that colour, angie has decided to experiment with her hair outside of the salon.
she had a slumber party and tried to put a little bit more red in her hair but that washed out and her blonde peaked back through.
cue ANOTHER SLUMBER PARTY where the bottom section was dyed and it turned a really faded pink. she then re-dyed her hair into - what was supposed to be - a blue, but it just turned out black. now that the blue colour washed out, it’s now showing up green.
angie does like the dark roots fading into the reddish colour and then into the blonde on the ends. there is also this darker tone underneath that ended up looking black for a while, but now it's faded out too. her color now needs to be CLEANED UP.
angie wants this new colour to be LOW MAINTENANCE and to work with the colours in her hair already.
the best way to blend out the faded black/blue bottom is for veronica to do a full head of HIGHLIGHTS. veronica will keep the red colour in between, but will focus on moving the blonde up.
if angie really wanted to fully get rid of this faded colour, veronica would also have to strip the hair and do a colour in between.
but again, angie is not looking for a big job. again, she wants the colour to be very LOW MAINTENANCE.
the other option that veronica could do is a PARTIAL HIGHLIGHT. if she did a partial, she would only blend out the discoloration on top.
when doing a partial, the client is going to have some pieces on the side that get done but none underneath; the highlights would be mostly on the TOP LAYER of the hair.
if angie just did a partial, looking at the hair straight-on would look fine but if she were to tie up her hair, it would expose that unwanted pigment underneath.
a partial also wouldn’t BLEND OUT the dark underneath.
if you are going to do something - DO IT RIGHT! angie and veronica decided that a full head of highlights is going to be the best plan.
angie is experimenting with growing out her hair, so veronica is going to keep as much length as possible and layer everything else. she is also going to add in some face-framing layers to soften the look around her face.
this way, angie will have a nice WASH and WEAR style that she can just dry and go!
taking a look at the state of angie's ends, you can see and feel some damage in them.
in order to get all of those dead ends off, veronica is going to take off about AN INCH.
a decent amount of the faded colour in the back will also be taken off with this trim.
veronica has her hair SECTIONED OUT into four quadrants.
angie’s part line at the top was used as the section pattern. this is how angie parts her hair daily, so we will use this as our GUIDE for colour placement
veronica is going to get started on the front sections. this is to allow those first foils to process longer and provide more LIGHT around her face.
veronica is also going to choose the thicker section on angie's left to begin with. if veronica started with the right hand side, those hairs would PROCESS much lighter than the other side of her head (because it’s a smaller section).
veronica is going to be using a SHADOWED ROOT highlighting technique starting at the bottom of the section and she’ll work her way up.
nvenn has done several shadow root videos in the past that dive deeper into the process of the TECHNIQUE. check out our shadow root playlist on our youtube channel to learn the process step-by-step!
veronica has chosen to alternate the WEAVE PATTERN. in some of the foils, she is going to be using a fine weave, others a medium weave, and some of them she will be using a thicker weave.
this process is also combined with staggering the amount of regrowth left at the ROOT.
using a variety of effects and staggering, the root color remaining is going to give a very DIFFUSED LINE from dark to light. it is also going to create variety with some blended fine weave highlights along with some larger colour chunks.
PRO TIP: when getting to the top of the section around the face, you want to really visualize how you want the end colour to look, and foil the hair accordingly. envision the final look and be sure to apply the correct amount of highlight to reach your goal.
here’s a foil with a thicker weave.
veronica then follows that with a babylight fine weave.
this is going to create a diffused highlight that will work to break up the chunkier highlight underneath. again, this helps to create a DIFFUSED line from her root to the blonde.

veronica is going to mirror what she did on the first side with the second side of angie’s head.
angie has very little blonde left on her ends, so veronica is going to paint the LIGHTENER on the majority of the strand.
PRO TIP: you want to make sure to pull out any blonde that may be there and ensure you are not painting lightener onto it. you do not want to overprocess OR over-lighten the pieces that are already blonde.
when doing a shadow root, using BABYLIGHTS in your foiling pattern is an effective way to help you diffuse the colour from dark to light. a babylight is essentially a very fine weave.
the THICKNESS of each client's hair will affect how dense of a weave you're going to be using for your babylight. if their hair is very thick, like angie's, it's going to be a little bit thicker of a weave, so that you can see it in the hair. if you have a client with very fine hair, you want a very fine weave.
on the top of each section, make sure you are using the same foiling effect. you want to mirror how the hair looks on each side, as well as the back.
veronica is going to continue with the same foiling technique on the back of angie’s head.
in the nape section, veronica leaves a little bit MORE DARK in the root than she would around the front. this is because naturally, most individuals have a bit more dark tones in the back of the head, so it’ll give it a NATURAL effect.
do not worry about putting babylights under the nape as much, as they won’t be as visible. instead, you really want to make sure that you're incorporating the babylights on top of the OCCIPITAL BONE.
on the other side of the head, make sure again that you're going to be mirroring what you did on the left side as you did on the right side. you want to create a SYMMETRICAL LOOK.
PRO TIP: if you run out of long foils, you can stack short foils. you can still have the effect of using a long foil by having the hair laid out completely on the foil, so that it can process very evenly.
here are angie’s foils all completed.
let's take a peek at how angie’s hair is looking in the foils. oh, it looks very good. now veronica is ready to WASH.
here we are. veronica is all done. check out how beautiful this looks. it's been four hours and 45 minutes! that's what happens when people have a ton of hair! but it was with it and look how good angie’s hair looks.
veronica achieved a nice SEAMLESS BLEND. there is also a nice dark root, so angie won’t have to worry about coming in too soon for a touch up.
you can see the little bit of remnants of the previous colour here, just slightly, if we look really close. otherwise to the naked eye, it will not be visible.

hey guys, veronica is here with our beautiful model, kat.
kat's is in the process GROWING OUT HER GRAY and wants something that will camouflage her regrowth. we have talked about her current blonde and how kat doesn’t like the warmth in it. her goal is to be able to allow her grays to grow out and BLEND into the bottom through that process.
to do this, we are going to stick with more an ASHY GRAY COLOR. this way, the blonde that is currently in her hair, is going to look like a gray color coming through.
<video>
veronica has all of this blonde to work with, which is going to be very helpful. she is going to have to go through and LIGHTEN her blonde a bit more. this is because currently, we can see a lot of the warm pigment throughout.
it is going to work in our favour that kat is ok with having some warmth left in her hair. if kat chose to get rid of all the gold and warmth, veronica would have to do back to back foils to make sure all the warmth is lifted out..
instead, we'll bring her current color up, and do a SHADOW ROOT to blend out all these greys that we see on the sides.
this shadow root is also going to SOFTEN the LINE of DEMARCATION from the roots to the color at the bottom.
once i lighten out her blonde more, i’ll tone it so that we have an ashy finish so that it matches her greys that are peaking through.
she also needs a CUT. she last got a trim in november! it is now july, so we need to trim these ends and clean her hair up.
with kat's hair, her greys are CONCENTRATED right around the front and on the sides.
if veronica were to take kat’s whole head and color it to blend into the grey, it would make it look like her entire head is gray rather than just in front. to avoid this, veronica will take the back sections to a lighter blonde, but still have it a lovely natural shade.
the goal is to mimic the grey pattern and tone as much as possible. when her color is finished, it's going to look like she has a really nice full head of blonde with a SHADOW ROOT.
she'll have grey patches coming through on the sides, which will look really cool.
this way, she won't have to worry about her roots growing in, and causing a line from her grays to her new color. This technique is really going to BLEND THAT OUT.
the first step is to do a ROUGH CUT on kat's hair to get off her dead ends and the extra length. there's no need for us to do more color work and waste product when we don't need to.
here is kat's hair, SECTIONED OUT. it is separated into four quadrants; splitting right down the center, creating two sections on the front and two sections on the back.
veronica will get started in the FRONT QUADRANTS first because that is where the concentration of grey is. the blonde in the front will need to be lighter than the blonde in the back. we're going to work within the patches of grey first and separate those to foil separately than the rest of the section.
when you're trying to MIMIC A GREY PATTERN in somebody's hair, this is a visual process and the placement will vary person to person. it's also going to vary on different areas of the head.
the goal is to mimic exactly how kat's hair grows out from her head. we're going to PICK OUT kat's greys and foil accordingly
we can see that kat already has some lighter ends, but what we want to do is lift it out to take out all the remaining pigments so that these pieces can match her grey exactly.
veronica will heavily FOIL the areas that has more dark hair than light. this will blend her grey out into the rest of her style.
veronica is going to use a FINE WEAVE. the fine weave allows her to give a nice transition for the shadow root to the lighter pieces. its also going to blend out the grey patches and look light around her face.
we are going to lighten out her ends to lift our a majority of the warmth in her hair.
PRO TIP: make sure that you're adjusting this process accordingly to your client because you may want to leave the ends out altogether. if their hair is already light enough, switch to a lower developer lightener so that you're not over-processing the ends.
we are going to continue to work up this section.
veronica is STAGGARING the amount of dark left in the hair this will allow you to have a very diffused color from dark to light, where you don't have a harsh line anywhere where the dark meets the blonde.
PRO TIP: be careful with how you fold the foil. make sure that you fold your foil in a way that prevents the color from bleeding. So we like to fold our foil into THREE SECTIONS.
first, fold the bottom third of the foil over top onto the middle. that's going to keep the lightener inside.
then, fold that section over the top third of the foil.
here's a closeup of what this WEAVE is going to look like.
you can see where the blonde starts, we have the lightener FEATHERED ON softly. this is going to give a diffused line from dark to light.

we're going to work our way through the BACK SECTIONS now. kat doesn't have any large concentrations of gray back there.
veronica is just going to be doing the regular FINE WEAVE foiling technique.
she is going to be doing a fine weave and STAGGERING the amount of dark that we have in the hair. again, create a very seamless transition from dark to light.
now that we have her foils all put in.
the brassiness in kat's hair isn't just from her blonde, its also from her FADED BROWN.
when veronica pulls her hair into the light the brown in her hair an orangy coppery tinge. so the blonde itself isn’t the only issue.
veronica is going to LIFT OUT some of the brassy brown color to cut some of the unwanted warmth.
veronica wants to lift out enough of the unwanted warmth so that it'll compliment her new ashy highlights around the front of her face.
here is the first portion with the lightener on it. it is FOILED and FOLDED to keep it out of the way..
now veronica has all the LIGHTENER APPLIED and this is what the foils look like.
on this first test foil, you can see where it had that brassy orange color that has LIFTED OUT quite nicely.
here is another foil that has lifted out really nicely as well.
we're ready to RINSE.
here's what it looks like before we WASH OUT all the lightener.
here the TONER is applied to her hair. she isolated the two areas in the front and added a purple shampoo to it.
PRO TIP: purple shampoo will help to PRE-neutralize any unwanted yellow color in the hair before your tone.
veronica wants to tone her hair to be as ASHY as possible so that we can get it as close as possible to her gray / silver-tone.
here you can see that the blonde back here is looking really lovely. it's going to tone out to a nice platinum blonde.
you can see how silvery it looks here at the front. it's going to match really well.
for the grey side pieces, veronica toned it with a half 10 violet and half 9 ash. then here on the ends, she used a 9 p, which is a pearl.
we haven't styled her hair yet but here is kat's hair while it's straight and down. you can see how nice and blended it is from dark to light. you can see that her greys are blended in at the front and that her shadowed root will really camouflage her regrowth
and finally, here is kat's hair all done! she “LOVES it!”
you can see how well her grey blends into the rest of her hair.
her regrowth here is her natural grey. you can see how well it blends into her ends.
and you can see on the left side as well.
there you guys have it!

hello, everyone! welcome to another hair tutorial. today, and we'll be showing you how to GENTLY lighten BLACK VIOLET hair! mani (my client/ model) only wants to go a few shades lighter but it's more complicated than it looks.
LET’S GET STARTED! because of quarantine, mani’s hair has grown out quite a bit. since, there is so much regrowth, there is a GENTLER way that we will be taking her lighter.

here is how her hair looks before. you can see there's a little bit of gray here, not much.
i am going to use this gray as a GUIDE to show us where her REGROWTH has grown out to.
we put violet on her ends months ago, and that's gonna need to be LIFTED OUT.
here i have her root color applied and now i have her sectioned into a PIE-SHAPED sectioning pattern.
it is composed of 5 equal sections around the head. when you look at it from above - you should see that PERFECT PIE SHAPE.
i have the front half of her hair divided into three sections; two down the sides and one in the center. the back of the hair was split into two EVEN SECTIONS.
i'm going to put in a full head of FOILS to lift out the dark.
i do want some of her “original color” to come through because it's going to ANCHOR it from the color fading and being really brassy.
PRO TIP: the UNDERLYING PIGMENT of “brown hair” is some form of red/ orange/ combination of red orange. because her DESIRED final color is still in the dark family of colors, a heavy set of foils would lift out enough of the black violet to give her the color that she wants. Another upside, as her hair fades, the black violet will remain the same. it’ll help to SOFTEN ANY BRASSINESS that may come through as it is fading
i'm going to start in the quadrant on the back left side. i started at the bottom of this section and used DIAGONAL BACK SLICES all the way up to the top.
i kept a THIN section in between each SLICE of lightener to ensure the new color was diffused.
FEATHER the lightener on to MELT the lightener into the root color
PRO TIP: be sure to SATURATE each section fully with the lightener. you want all of the hair to life to the same level.
you can see how her hair is LIFTED. this is perfect!
i wanted to lift it a little bit past LEVEL 6 to remove any of the really strong red-orange pigment that was there. that being said, you want to make sure that there is enough PIGMENT left to really ANCHOR in her final color. over lightened hair will look translucent, opaque or muddy.
to learn more about colors and why your colors might look unsaturated or muddy. check out our law of color video. in that video, you'll learn everything you need to know about colors and how to PROPERLY FORMULATE them.
here is her hair with the lightener rinsed out and a light POWER DRY. as horrendous as this color looks right now, it's actually perfect!
again, the goal was to lift it JUST passed a level 6 to remove any of the really strong red pigments that would remain.
i am going to drop a little bit of ash in her toner to NEUTRALIZE any excessive warmth, but we do want a warmer result in the end.
in my bowl, i have 6.8 from j beverly hills with 5g’s of blue pigment.
that little bit of blue is going to help to NEUTRALIZE any of the overwhelming, BRASSY ORANGE that's in her hair here.
i mixed about 40 grams of color with 5 grams of blue additive. i'm mixing it ONE to ONE so that we the final color it nice and “OPAQUE”.
i then applied that color to her whole head.
after it finished processing, we washed out the remaining color and were left with this GORGEOUS color!
