tint back: how to FILL blonde hair to brown

January 04, 2019

hello everyone! today jessica is here with amanda and her beautiful canvas of hair.

today we are going to be taking her back to her NATURAL color. she is done with the blonde she currently has and wants to grow it out.

amanda has a soft pink hue to her hair which will actually be helpful to jessica throughout the process. jessica needs to RESTORE all of the pigment to bring amanda back to her natural color.

in our law of color video you can see how we break down the changes you must go through to restore colors.

the FILL formula

here is amanda's hair up close- you can see the hue of pink. this pink is going to be a great help with filling her hair because it is going to restore a little bit of the red pigment. again refer to our law of color video for a more detailed explanation of the pigments needed here.

jessica has chosen 8.33 8GG and 8.34 8GC. this is a mix of a ‘double gold’ and a ‘gold copper’. this will bring amanda's hair back down to a level 6 which is a red/orange. amanda’s hair is very POROUS currently and needs all the EXTRA PIGMENT.

instead, she is going to be using a COPPER and a number 8. this will give her the ability to color it in a lower level easily with the hair being filled enough.

jessica has chosen not go with a plain red, when coming from this light of a blonde, the red would be too overpowering. this would result in a very warm brown.

here is amanda's hair after the FILL color applied and washed out. the formula worked perfectly!

you can see the hues of copper and gold underneath creating the perfect palette for what we need to do next.

her color is going to be HALF 6 and HALF 7. jessica doesn’t want to go too light. the color needs to match as close to amanda's natural color as possible. this will allow amanda to let her hair grow out without having to color it consistently.

APPLYING the color

jessica uses a FEATHERING technique with the brush turned perpendicular to the shafts of hair. this will prevent a harsh line and create diffusion so that her hair still looks natural after growing out. This eliminates the the need to go to a stylist for constant root touch ups.

here is amanda's hair with the color processed, rinsed and dried.

jessica will need to still apply color a THIRD time. unfortunately, amanda's hair is not holding the pigment because of how POROUS it is.

this time, jessica will take it to a STRAIGHT 6. because the color will also fade. jessica will using the same formulas and the same feathering technique as before.

the FINISHED look

here is amanda's hair all finished. with the use of the nvenn ‘911 hair rescue kit’ amanda's hair is looking SHINY and HEALTHY.

even those with the least amount of damage can benefit from this kit! it is truly amazing at repair the hair and making it silky and shiny.
