hello everyone! today's video is going to be a COLOR CORRECTION on CURLY HAIR. my client, Amy, has been doing her hair at home for some time now. i haven't done her hair for a long time. I don't know how long ago it was, but the residual color has completely faded into something different. she's had to retouch it up and do different things on her own because she got a job out of town where she's working six in one. for those of you that don't know what that means, it means she goes away for six days and back for only one. it didn't make sense for her to come back.
today, we’re giving amy’s hair the LOVE it deserves.
i'm going to show you how to color correct it and formulate to get even and fluid results from root to end. before we get into it, i want to remind you to subscribe to our channel because release new videos every friday. if you have any questions throughout, leave a comment. we will answer all of those for you.
you can see how many beautiful different colors there are in it. we don't want to bleach out everything. we all know that color doesn't lift color. instead, we’re going to use the darkest brown as a guide to make sure everything looks FLUID and NATURAL.
the bowl on the right has 6N and the bowl on the left has ½ 7 1 and ½ 7 2. i’ve mixed them in EQUAL PROPORTIONS (one and one) because i want the color to be saturated.
and here’s why: at the TOP we can see a neutral 6, followed by a red portion. to make the color even, i don’t want to put ash where it isn’t needed.
on the lighter ends, i’ll return to a normal 6.
Amy’s CURLY HAIR requires bigger sections. since Amy wears her hair both curly and straight, i’ll need to keep a close eye on my color placement. i’m parting the hair DIAGONALLY as i paint the color on.
on the redder portions, we’re applying 7 1 and 7 2, followed by lightener and 7 vol on the ends. i’ll be alternating our COLOR PLACEMENT for a diffused look and continuing the pattern up to the CROWN of the head. keep in mind that curly hair isn’t a strong as straight hair. you’ll want to use different formulas to maintain the health of the hair.
with the two right quadrants of the head complete, i’m ready to move on to the other side of her head.
you can see that i foiled her hair with the part she likes to wear. i want to MIRROR the color on both sides. i’ll still be diagonally parting the hair as i move through it.
i want to have a stronger BLONDE look in the front, so i’m going to start from the bottom of the head and pull the blonde further up the hair. like the rest of her hair, i’m alternating sections and FEATHERING the color in.
i’m doing a WEAVE with a dark and light contrast. it’s important that you ANALYZE your clients hair and make informed decisions.
she’s ready to be washed out! when you can identify that the hair is lifting unevenly, keep in mind that you want to TONE to the darkest color to make it all one color.
with amy’s hair rinsed, i have two blondes i need to deal with. i’m going to tone the top with 8.11 and 8.22 from jbeverly hills. on the bottom, i’ll be doing a half 9 and half 10 combination.
first, we’re going to use nvenn’s ‘replenish’ on amy’s hair. filled with vitamin e, avocado oil, argan oil, and more- it fills the cracks and crevices of hair for a SMOOTH BLOWOUT.
second, i’m using nvenn’s ‘protect’ before applying heat to her hair with the blowdryer. this product is an amazing TEXTURE CHANGER, too.
and the look is COMPLETE! like any hairstyle, COLOR CORRECTIONS take time and effort. you have to really analyze the client’s hair individually to attain the perfect look. if you have any questions, leave them bellow. and subscribe to our channel @nvennhairbeauty! we do new videos every friday.

veronica here! today i’ve got mona in my chair. i’m going to show you how to do a TEXTURED PIXIE CUT. there is a fine line when cutting SHORT HAIR. if you’re not delicate, you can cross the line from feminine into masculine.
it’s easy to see mona’s growth patterns. this is her hair after it has grown out for a few months. it is very important to take this into account when cutting short hair.
when CUTTING SHORT HAIR, i prefer to cut it dry so i can easily see how it naturally sits and the growth patterns. i will lightly spritz a bit of water on it to get out any kinks in the hair. i use vertical sections, starting in the center of the head, and moving out to the sides.
i’m pulling the hair straight out from the head and holding my hand parallel to the nape as i cut. i’m starting in the center and working my way outwards. i am creating an EVEN LENGTH around the nape.
after cutting vertically, i’m cross checking my work by taking horizontal sections to ensure the hair is uniform and no hairs are sitting out of place. i am leaving the final touches of the PERIMETER for the end.
i’m starting by sectioning off the top HORSESHOE of the head. to gently wet the hair, i’m spraying down my comb and combing it through the head. this allows me to smooth out any kinks while still having the hair sit in its natural shape.
starting at the center back of the head, i’m pulling out VERTICAL sections. i’ll be layering these sections through the hair to create a uniform look.
to connect the layers with the nape, pull the hair straight out from the head and hold it parallel to the scalp. cut out the corner that connects the two sections.
OVERDIRECT the hair around the ears back to the previous section to preserve length around the ears. i will perfect the hair around the ears once the hair is washed and styled.
as i approach the front of the face, i’m continuing to overdirect the hair back to preserve length in the front. this will all be tweaked once the hair is styled.
afterwards, i will cross check using diagonal sections to ensure the hair is cut uniform and even.
pay extra attention to the growth patterns. i’m pulling sections straight up from the head and cutting horizontally. this allows for uniform layers.
since this look is more TEXTURED and SOFT, i’m able to be more relaxed with my sectioning patterns. if you’re working on a more structured style, you’ll need to be more structured and use exact sections.
to connect the top section with the sides, pull the hair out DIAGONALLY from the head and cut out the corner. this will create a round effect in the layers.
with textured sheers, i’m softening the perimeter and taking out excess bulk. be very cautious when using textured sheers. use the tip of the sheers to ensure you aren’t taking too much weight away or overtexturzing the hair. i’ll repeat this process across the rest of the haircut.
with her hair washed, its time to style. i’m adding nvenn’s ‘texture’ to add more texture, volume, and hold to the hair without weighing it down. i’m working the product through my hands before working it in to mona’s hair.
now i’m drying the hair while using my fingers to create volume at the ROOT of the hair.
once styled, this is the time to perfect the edges of the entire cut. cut the perimeter to sit soft and textured.
last but not least, i’ve shaved up into the hairline of the nape to get rid of the strong growth patterns. this allows the hair to sit flat without cowlicks. from here, i’ll be customizing the shape and getting rid of any stray hairs that don’t belong.
you see how SHAVING those growth patterns from the back of her hair help this style to lay flat properly.
and i’m done! mona’s hair is complete. this TEXTURED PIXIE cut is a favorite amongst SHORT HAIR CUTS- and for good reason! it’s gorgeous. if you have any questions, comment or subscribe to our channel at @nvennhairbeauty
jessica here! if you’ve been following our channel, you’ve probably heard me talk about RED CARPET GLAM HAIR. as ombres fade into the background, i truly believe these looks will be the new front and center. long story short: they’re timeless.
today i’m going to take show you how to give your clients that RED CARPET HAIR using advanced color placement techniques.
enter our giveaway here: https://www.nvenn.com/giveaway
the first step of any service is to analyze what your clients walks through the door with. i ALWAYS suggests to do a FULL CONSULTATION to learn about the history of your client’s hair. from there you can dig through your repertoire of advanced color techniques and plan out the perfect placement for your color.
if you need a refresher, i recorded a video on how to a hair consultation. you can find it here.
in behin’s case, it’s easy to see she has 3 different levels of color in her hair. the COLOR PLACEMENT will be dependant on her existing color.
the bottoms of behin’s hair have a bit of blonde, so i’ve decided to incorporate blonde throughout her hair. i’ve mixed blondeme with a blue additive. i don’t want to neutralize all of the warmth, but i know she’s going to pull A LOT of warmth so the blue additive will be an essential part of this mixture.
because i want to avoid this service being a BIG COLOR CORRECTION, my strategy is to incorporate as much of her existing blonde into her finished color.
as i’m moving throughout the hair, i’m lightly feathering the lightener on. backcombing the hair is great way to ensure that the finished color will have a seamless finish.
when i reach the parietal ridge of the head, i will use a FINE TO MEDIUM WEAVE.
PRO TIP: keep in mind that you’ll want to keep the texture of the hair in mind when choosing your weaving technique. behin has coarser hair, if the weave is too fine you wouldn’t be able to see it.
i’ll repeat this process around the head. once the initial color placement has been completed, i’m going to ANALYZE the hair again to add any final touches.
now that her hair has processed a bit, i want to go through and lighten some of her old color a little bit more. i’m identifying any of the blonde that’s closer to a level 6 and feathering on some lightener. yes she does want a warmer finish but she doesn’t want it brassy. bumping her blonde that extra little bit will help to eliminate any of that really orange color that hair pulls when you lighten it to a level 6-7. if you want to learn more about underlying pigments, you can watch this video i made on the law of color.
PRO TIP: for a warm NOT BRASSY finish, lighten the hair to a level 8 and then color it back to your desired warm tone. caramel tones are usually a level 6 or 7 and the underlying pigment at both of those levels have a strong orange color therefore when it fade, that’s what the client sees. you can avoid this by lightening the hair just past a level 7.
i can see that behin’s hair is ready to be washed and power dried.
now i’m going to tone her hair. today i’m going to add beige into her toner formula. this beige has a base of green and yellow. the green will neutralize the really orangy parts and it’ll deposit a bit of gold which will give her that nice caramel finish.
i’ve mixed 3 different pravana express toners, each at a ⅓. one third is natural, one third is violet (to cut the yellow), and the last third is beige. pravana express toners and very pigmented, so i use the natural color to dilute its intensity.
i’m going to start with nvenn’s ‘volume’. this heat-activated weightless volumizer is PERFECT for coarser hair.
next, i’m using nvenn’s ‘smooth’ to define her curls. this can also be used as a FLYAWAY tamer.
and i’m done! you can see this BEAUTIFUL look is the essence of RED CARPET GLAM. if you have any questions about toners, formulas, or our products: ask us in the comments or at @nvennhairbeauty on Instagram, or Youtube. :)
jessica here :) BRAIDS are an ever-popular hairstyle that never goes out of style. but be honest… it’s a lot harder than it looks to get the perfect look. we’ve all had a moment where we’re envious of the LOOSE BRAID HAIRSTYLES that dominate Instagram.
today, i’m showing you the easiest way to achieve the PERFECT LOOSE BRAID with these 5 tips.
want free product? enter our MONTHLY giveaway: nvenn.com/giveaway
with a bit of practice, this can be your go-to 2 SECOND HAIRSTYLE.
i’ve let my hair air dry about 2/3rds of the way before i decide to add a bit of TEXTURE and blow-dry my hair. to do so, i work ‘fix’ flexible working hair spray throughout my hair.
to get the BEST RESULTS from blowdrying your hair, here are a few #PROTIPS that will elevate your style:
this is the PERFECT way to add volume to your hair.
pick what side you want your braid to rest on and get ready to section.
this starts like a lot of your FRENCH BRAID HAIRSTYLES with separating the hair into three even parts.
on the side that you want your braid to rest, grab the frontmost section and start the braid by pulling that section back.
don’t braid the hair too tight. the key to making the braid looks BEAUTIFUL is loose sections.
once you have the hair tye secured, it’s time to loosen the braid.
starting at the top of the braid, you want to gently pull the braid apart and loosen it. this is the part that’s science ;) you don’t want to pull too hard and compromise the style, so take your time. if you have any strays, you can always RETIE the hair tie and secure the look.
there you have it! the PERFECT LOOSE BRAID. the secret is all in the hair prep. if you have any questions or want me to show you a different style, leave a comment @nvennhairbeauty.
welcome to PART 2 of the DRIP DYE tutorial. last week, i lightened aly’s hair to get a clean slate for this gorgeous look. this week we’re getting to the exciting part: the DRIP DYE COLOR!
it’s important to get a CLEAN SLATE before trying to color hair any bright colors.
it’s been about a week and a half since our last tone, so her hair color has gotten warm. i will need to tone aly’s hair one more time before i color it. my goal is to get it as close to a white palette as possible.
you can see how well the toner is pulling the brassy tones out of aly’s hair.
after a quick wash and dry, i’m ready to start the COLOR.
i’m going to start by sectioning out the hair. it’s always BEST to section the hair before you color. this ensures the color is organized and clean. you really want to properly section the hair because this DRIP DYE TREND gets messy.
on the very top of the head, i’m making a HORSESHOE section.
with the rest of the hair, i’m making the sections about 2-inch sections around the entire head.
as i mentioned before, this can get messy.
i’ve covered this part of the salon with trash bags to PREVENT heavy clean up.
instead of traditional foils, i’ll be using this clear gift wrap so that we can see the color while it’s processing. now we’re ready to reveal the COLOR PALETTE for aly’s DRIP DYE look.
i’ll be mixing several different combinations of these shades to create the DYNAMIC look.
to achieve the perfect consistency for the color, you want to mix the color with water until you have a runny but still pigmented mixture.
much like the name of the style implies, i’m going to DRIP the color sporadically on this section of hair.
next, i’m adding another color before i use a WIDE TOOTH COMB to comb through the hair.
this will help disperse the color and create a UNIQUE look. for aly’s hair, i’m going for a more saturated look, but if you leave some of the blonde throughout, it will show through in the final result.
on the section closest to her roots, i’m using the COLOR BRUSH to apply color. since i am using different colors section through sections, i want to keep the colors fairly clean. i don’t want to risk dripping color on to the next section by trying to pour the color directly on the roots.
before we move to the NEXT SECTION, we’re going to apply the clear plastic over top of it to keep the colors separated.
for this section, we’re using a BLUE combination and a PURPLE blend.
we’ll also be using a CLEAN wide tooth comb. don’t make the mistake of using the same comb with the last section’s color!
next, i’m using a ROSE and PINK and MAGENTA combination before i move on to the top of the head.
i’ll be splitting the top HORSHOE SECTION into three parts. this will make the color easier to apply.
this will help me make sure aly’s hair is saturated and the blend of color is BEAUTIFUL. i’d like the top portion of hair to be a lighter shade so we will be working more in the pastel shades.
i’m using a LIGHT PURPLE and ROSE color. i’m going to do the top two sections with the same color set.
the color application is FINISHED!
i need to be very careful while washing out.
to keep the colors from bleeding, i’m going to wash the hair out section by section.you’ll notice i clipped back the hair with the plastic still in to prevent the sections from touching.
i’ll be using ICE COLD WATER to prevent the color from bleeding.
it took a long time but the results were worth it! this DRIP DYE look is super dynamic. with these artificial colors, you will want to recommend that your client continues to use cool water and a color saving shampoo like ‘wash’ to preserve the color as long as possible.

veronica here! :) today i have our lovely model aly in the chair. aly is looking for the infamous DRIP DYE look that is going viral across the internet.
as you can see, her hair is pretty NATURAL. aly has been natural for about a YEAR but now she is ready to make the jump into VIBRANT COLORS. she does have a small amount of blonde on her ends. anytime a ‘crazy’ color is wanted, you’ll want to make sure you get the hair as light as possible before applying the preferred color.
before i start this color transformation, i’m going to bleach and tone the hair to LIGHTEN aly’s hair. allie has waited a good amount of time to get her hair quite healthy, so now she can start her colorful transformation.
starting with the BACK SECTIONS, i am going to apply the lightener to the hair. being that her hair is slightly darker in the back i am going to be working BACK TO FRONT.
make sure to leave the lightener about ½ inch from the scalp. the heat from the scalp will cause the color to PROCESS FASTER. this helps the hair processes evenly. after i work through the midshaft and the ends i will go back and use the lightener on the ½ inch left.
i now have all of the midshaft and ends of the hair coated in the lightener.
now it’s time to go back and finish the full head. working through the scalp, i am going to SECTION and paint on the lightener. i’m using a WIDE TOOTH COMB to help part the sections.
the head is now fully covered and you can see how much FASTER the lightener processed on the top of the head verse the ends.
after WASHING OUT the lightener, the hair appears to have a yellowish tone. this is why i am going to tone the hair.
pulling a strand of hair, you can truly see how light the hair is.
moving to the first toner, i am going to apply all over the roots.
mix your toners based on what remaining pigment is left. if you have a client like allie, that has variance in their hair, you will want to use different mixtures for the root versus the midshaft and ends.
the head is now fully saturated with the toner.
the toner has been washed and the hair has been dried. to our success, the toner processed evenly and leaves us at a perfect point to move forward.
you’ll have to tune in next week to see our next steps in this DRIP DYE look: the VIBRANT COLOR.

thank you for tuning back in. today we are going to show you how we FIXED jessica’s hair. typically we check the FOILS for COLOR PLACEMENT, but this time we did not cross our t’s or dot our i’s. veronica put in back to back foils when she was supposed to put in a foil, leave a section out, put in another foil, leave a section out, etc.
in result of that, the hair ended up being too blonde and the highlights looked too chunky. being that often it can be a long time in between colors, sometimes we don’t give it a second thought to confirm what the previous color placement was. this was a GOOD LEARNING lesson for us.
especially when you are a hairdresser, it’s almost like a chore to do your OWN HAIR. we sometimes forget about the small factors like head massages and how often we need our hair done.
today we are going to the showing how to CORRECT COLOR, specifically my color. you could also use this blog as a way to correct a client’s hair color when they are TOO BLONDE or when the HIGHLIGHTS are TOO CHUNKY.
i’m going to formulate a color for the hair to use on the TOP of my head. using a MIDDLE SECTION of my hair as a GUIDE.
the hair closer to the bottom has not had a lot of SUN CONTACT so it has not LIGHTENED as much as the top. i noticed that this shade has WARMTH to it and has a LITTLE GOLD, which i don’t mind. knowing that my hair already pulls a lot of WARMTH i’m going to select a more NATURAL COLOR.
using this hair color palette from j beverly hills, i find that this company is very true to shade.
i’m going to match up with the MIDDLE SECTION, and use it as a GUIDE. it matches pretty well to a 7. being that i want a little bit LIGHTER of a color on top, i’m going to use half 7 and half 8 to ensure the color doesn’t deposit too dark.
if you notice in this section, the HIGHLIGHTS are looking way too chunky for jessica. to adjust that, we are going to do THIN SLICES of the WARMER color. EVERY OTHER section we are going to be putting in a slice of the darker color. this will successfully break up the chunkiness of the highlights.
we are putting more DARKNESS back into her ROOT area. we are not going to pull it through to the ends because we are creating an ombre/balayage effect. since we do not want any harsh lines in the hair, we are going to FEATHER the product into the ends. make sure to feather it downward.
as i said prior, we are LEAVING one section out in between each foil. use the SAME TECHNIQUE that we were using with the previous foil.
if you would like to see the FULL-COLOR PROCESS we did before this feel free to click on the link.
in the front of jessica's head we are going to be starting with a THIN VEIL. the goal is not to see the super chunky highlights whenever she pulls her hair back. we are going to complete the FRINGE section using the same technique. so every other section is going to have a slice of dark.
here are the foils completed. you can see that is a HORSESHOE PATTERN on the top of the head.
after we let the color process we are going to RINSE IT OUT, WASH and DRY the hair using the nvenn products.

hello everyone! jessica here :)
today i am here with miss emily, one of my most favorite human beings ever! she is almost 18. it's crazy to think back at turning 18 - what a fun time. since she is turning 18, she is ready for a change.
when thinking of all the different type of hair we could create for her, we wanted to do something really different: SOFT HIGHLIGHTS on dark brown hair. my concept stems from stars like eva longoria, who have a beautiful brightness, and softness adding color around the face. a very romantic, sexy feel.
here we are on the left side. with emily, i'm going to be using DIAGONAL sectioning so that when the hair falls, the highlights come through very diffused.
we are going to keep her predominantly dark. because of this, i’m going to be sure to leave a veil of the dark. this way, as her hair grows out it won't be too noticeable.
i'm taking pretty decent sized sections- about ⅔ OF A CM THICK.
for this first section, i’m going to GENTLY BACKCOMB near the root then get ready to place her first foil.
PROTIP: with long hair like emily's you can place a little bit of your lightener or color on the foil so that the hair stays in place instead of sliding around. place the hair on that lightener patch a little bit below where you intend on feathering out the color. this way you have room to make it look exactly how you want it.
now i can go through and paint the lightener on the top. using that #protip also ensures that the hair is fully SATURATED with the lightener. this tip is also great for those with very coarse or thick hair. i have had many trial and error sessions where you think you have applied the lightener heavy enough but after washing it out- there are spots left that are still too dark.
finally, after folding the hair up and really saturating the strands, i'm going to FEATHER the lightener up a little bit.
then i'm going to fold the foil up nice and small and move onto the next section.
on top of each large ‘slice’ of lightener, i am going to put a BABY FINE WEAVE of her natural hair color. the weave size is relative to your client's hair. some may need a finer weave while some may need a thicker portion.
emily has thick coarse hair so her weave will seem more like a medium weave.
weaving the hair out i will drop the lower section of it and place the top weaved portion on a new foil. again, i have already applied a streak of lightener to help her hair stay in place and ensure its fully saturated.
with two sections down, one fully lightened and one baby weave- our next section will be SKIPPED OVER. these ‘skipped’ sections in between the lightened portions will keep her hair on the darker side, which is what we are going for. this is the size of the portion we are leaving out.
now we will start to REPEAT the pattern. on this next section, i will backcomb the hair near the root and apply the lightener on this whole section.
i am keeping the lightener lower on this portion. to about HALFWAY up.
following the same method we have been using- be sure to place that hair on the lightener a little below where you want to feather it out to AVOID chunky lines or having to pull the color up more than desired.
afterward, go ahead and fold that foil up nice and tight and move on to the weaved section.
now, because we are going to end up toning to a LEVEL 7, we are going to bring up the lightener a little higher on this section. this will provide her with a good base.
just a friendly reminder- in our videos we are providing examples of methods we use. feel free to change the placement to what you and your client feel comfortable with. hair is art so just envision your end goal and work from there.
for emily’s style, we want to have lightness around the face. since we haven't had any lightened sections pulled all the way up to the front yet, we will end with a dark root all over. we want to avoid that so i'm pulling the lightener almost to the root in this section.
after folding up that foil on our weave section we move onto the ‘skipped’ section.
when starting the next repetition of our pattern, i'm going to pull the fully lightened section up ⅔ of the way. a little further up than the last section.
PROTIP: if you happen to place the foil a little low on the hair, use the end of a weaving comb to carefully pick up the section and move it up on the foil.
continue this pattern all the way to the top of the head and then we will move onto the front.
i have gotten this far up her head. i have done a baby weave here, next i’m going to leave for a VEIL.
moving on to separate out the next section i am going to continue with only weaves. i’m doing this to have more color focused on the top.
so, taking my comb, i will perform a weave and apply the lightener to the top portion of the weave.
on this top portion, i'm not applying the lightener to the foil first. this is because i am able to GRIP the hair on the end of my foil like so.
i hold it tight and paint the lightener onto this section. i am sure to not paint it all the way to the top of the hair in case my foil slips while i'm painting it on the bottom.
PROTIP: with long hair, when flipping the ends up, ensure they are straight and flat on the foil. keeping it straight prevents unnecessary damage when attempting to comb out tangled up hair from a messy application.
moving back to the top of this section, feather the lightener up to the roots. then fold the foil up and move on.
the next section will be left out.
i am placing the color very close to the root to provide the illusion of the hair growing out in the lighter color. i do not want her to have a darker root up top.
moving onto the next section i do a fine weave and then i apply the lightener to the top section of the weave.
i'm continuing this pattern until i get to the end of this top portion of hair. at the top, i have left a small section of her natural hair to help with that veil.
now on this front portion near her face, we are going to still leave a veil of her natural color, but it will be smaller than the one left in the back. this is because we want the color to be more concentrated in the front providing her a pop of color.
i'm going to continue using diagonal parting.
with the area around her face, i'm choosing to work with smaller sections as i really want that color to show off here. because your hair in the back of the head is denser, using larger sections back there and then smaller sections up front near the face gives the appearance of an equal color tone.
just like with the first portion we did, we are going to BACKCOMB the first section near the roots.
i want to bring this color higher up towards the roots when i'm going around her face.
continuing to repeat the pattern from the back- my next section is split into a baby weave and i apply lightener to the top section of that weave.
then we leave our 3rd section out.
on this next repetition, i want the color closer to the roots near her face, but not so much towards her ears. so, i'm going to ANGLE on the lightener when i apply it.
i then move to the section- the fine weave. applying the lightener closer to the root.
now that we have reached the TOP of this front section i am going to revert back to the method i used on the back- top section. i will use only weaves to have more of the lighter color.
this will make the pattern for the top be a weave, skip a section, weave the skip a section and then finally leaving a small veil.
once completed i will repeat this full pattern from the left side of her head, onto the right side.
here her foils are all PROCESSED. looking closely here, you can see it's processed just past level 7 which is perfect. keep in mind that the under pigment of level 7 is orange and i want to bump her slightly higher than that.
here she is all WASHED OUT. it looks lovely!
on the first quadrant, i used a level 7.
on the second quadrant, i used half level 7 half level 20vol.
on the front, i used a level 20 as well so that it would all process at the same amount of time.
i started with a level 7 because i wanted her to end at a level 8. you never want to over lift. if i would have overlifted, i would have to fill the hair to bring it back down before toning it.
for emily’s toner, i have mix half 7.1 and half 7.2 i chose those color because i need to neutralize out all of the warmth in her hair.
this combination will neutralize out the warmth and create a nice 7 with a little bit of ashy. in the sun, her hair is really going to pop.
i will apply the toner and then come back when it is all processed washed out.
Now emily all power dried out.
we need to remember that hair is like a sponge. this means you do not want the hair sopping wet when applying products. having the hair quickly dried in a power dry removes some of that water saturation so it can hold the product.
today i am applying the nvenn ‘blow out kit’ to emily’s hair.
in this blow out kit, i love the ‘volume’. this product is such a great volumizer because it has the ability to give volume to someone with hair as thick as emily’s. i have applied 3 full pumps to her hair.
after ‘volume’ i’m going to apply some ‘protect’ all over her hair.
then i apply the nvenn ‘replenish’ oil.
after applying the full blow kit i will power dry the hair again.
her hair is now all dry, styled. i'm going to finish her off with some ‘smooth’ split end serum.
this product is really useful for piecing out curls. be sure to re-emulsify by rubbing your hands together. this ensures you have enough product evenly on your fingers.
here she is all finished! this is a subtle color change but that is all emily needed. just enough to add brightness around her face.
because we used this subtle sunkissed look that is still close to her natural color when her hair grows out she won't have to get colored every 4-6 weeks. when her hair grows the fade will look natural. she will, however, have to get the color toned on occasion.
looking at the back and how it catches the sun, its such a nice highlight for her hair.

jessica here :) today we are going to show you how to properly WASH someone’s hair. there is an easy procedure to follow to make sure that your client has the CLEANEST hair without causing unneeded DAMAGE.
it’s also important to show your clients how to PROPERLY SHAMPOO their OWN hair. if a client knows how to properly shampoo their color will last LONGER and they’re not going to DAMAGE their hair.
i am going to break it down step-by-step to show you an EASY process on how to properly wash your client's hair. lauren is going to be our beautiful model today.
first, make sure that there are NO KNOTS in the hair. using a WIDE TOOTH COMB, pick through the hair starting from the BOTTOM and working your way to the TOP.
it’s very important that the hair is completely SATURATED in water. the common cycle is LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT. the first cycle will LIFT the dirt, the second cycle will REMOVE the dirt.
it’s important to know that WASHING your hair EVERY DAY is actually DAMAGING to your hair. it will DRY OUT your hair especially if you’re in a dry climate. i myself WASH my hair every FIVE DAYS. and at the end of those five days, there is a lot of GRIME in the SCALP.
so first we are going to SATURATE the hair with WATER and SCRUB it. that is going to LIFT a lot of the dirt. today we are going to be using it in the nvenn ‘wash’ low sudsing color save shampoo. it’s a COCONUT BASED cleanser so it doesn’t have any HARSH SUDSING CHEMICALS within. a lot of drugstores and even salon shampoos have chemicals that are similar to MR. CLEAN PRODUCTS. and that is NOT something you want to be putting in your hair. that same CLEAN FEELING it can be achieved with our wash as well.
first, you want to SCRUB it with the water and then incorporate the ‘wash’
one thing to notice is how STRAIGHT her hair is. the last thing i want to do is BUNCH her hair up. this will cause the hair to TANGLE. the goal is to WASH and CONDITION her hair straight to protect the state of her hair.
now taking nvenn’s ‘wash’ i’m going to rub my hands together and then EVENLY COAT throughout her SCALP. something interesting about our shampoo is the first ingredient is NOT WATER. it is a very CONCENTRATED SHAMPOO. so if i am looking for MORE LATHER all i need to do is ADD MORE WATER.
since the purpose of SHAMPOOING is to REMOVE SCALP BUILD UP you’re not going to really focus on the ends of her hair. whatever travels down naturally is plenty to clean the ends of the hair.
while RINSING the hair i lift everything straight and smooth so there would be NO TANGLES.
i’m going to SHAMPOO her hair a SECOND TIME. this cycle is LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT but if there is a lot of buildup on your scalp; feel free to wash more than twice. doing one good DEEP CLEANING of the SCALP will allow you to keep washes further apart.
the less oil on the hair the sudsier the shampoo is going to be. the SUDS are actually an INDICATOR to show HOW CLEAN it is. if there are NO SUDS the hair needs to be WASHED AGAIN.
PROTIP: don’t forget the back of the EARS.
the cool thing about our SHAMPOO is after it’s used it almost FEELS LIKE CONDITIONER. that’s because it is COCONUT-BASED. this works is almost a MINI MASK. one that’s strong enough that it’s going to REPAIR the hair but not too strong where it’s going to make the hair brittle. it has a MICRO-KERATIN within to RESTORE your hair from the INSIDE OUT.
you want to ring out the hair so it is a little bit damp. next, we are going to use nvenn’s ‘polish’ daily repairing conditioner.
with conditioning, you just want to condition from the MIDSHAFT DOWN. making sure that it is EVENLY COATED. this conditioner needs to sit for FIVE MINUTES. but don't worry, the MICRO-KERATIN that is within will not over stimulate your hair.
next, i’m going to give lauren a nice SCALP MASSAGE. below is a wonderful video that goes over all the PRESSURE POINTS.
again her hair is SMOOTH and there are NO TANGLES within the hair. it is super easy to COMB THROUGH.

jessica here :) today i’m going to be going over cutting a LONGER HAIRSTYLE for MEN. these haircuts have been a trend for a while now and they aren’t going anywhere. stars like JOHN STAMOS, JOHNNY DEPP, and BRADLEY COOPER flaunt this type of hairstyle. this trend doesn't look like it’s going out of style any time soon!
today, i’m going to keep it simple by making the sides and back short while keeping the length on top. from there you can adjust your OVER DIRECTION and your FINGER ANGLES to leave more or less length on the sides and/ or the top.
first, i’m going to take a ‘HORSE SHOE’ section from the PARIETAL RIDGE upwards and clip it away. next, starting at the front (by the hairline), i’m going to take a DIAGONAL BACK PARTING.
now, i’m going to pull that hair toward myself, PERPENDICULAR to the part and cut it to the desired LENGTH.
then, i will take the next section and COMB it into the PREVIOUS SECTION and use my previous section as my GUIDE.
i’m going to COMB the hair HORIZONTALLY and make sure there is a SLIGHT INCREASE in LENGTH.
i'm going to continue using diagonal back partings and use the same guide for my length as im cutting towards the nape.
PRO TIP: you can adjust your finger angles to leave more or less length at the nape.
now for the center back of the head. i am going to take a vertical parting and use the length at the occipital bone as the guide and cut straight up (basically you are layering the hair).
continue this with the adjacent sections. over direct each new section into the previous to maintain length on the corners of their head. continue this until the new sections no longer reach.
PRO TIP: over directing the hair here is very important! what makes this haircut more "masculine" than a short cut for women is how square it looks. without the corners, the shape is no longer a square, it becomes more round.
now for the top! i comb down the ‘HORSESHOE’ section that i had clipped away earlier. i will start cutting this section by the HAIRLINE. using a HORIZONTAL PARTING, i will comb the hair straight up and cut the hair “SQUARE” to my desired length (equal length from left to right).
time to connect the ‘HORSESHOE’ to the BOTTOM of the head. taking VERTICAL sections, comb the hair straight up and out and notch out any corners that you find. i’ll continue this all the way around the head.
here is the finished cut! it looks BEAUTIFUL. we can still see some of the gray PEEKING through, which is perfect.
to finish up the style we are going to use nvenn’s ‘texture’ whipping paste. take a few dabs with your fingers and pull the product through the hair before combing back. this ultra WEIGHTLESS molding hair paste gives hair a matte finish with exceptional hold.

today i’m going to show you how to CUT CURLY hair that can be worn natural or straight using our model, dr. natasha iyer. when dr. iyer’s hair is WET it’s a very FRIZZY and fro like. how you cut CURLY HAIR and straight hair is going to be completely different.
WANT TO WIN ONE OF OUR ‘SPLIT END TRIOS’? ENTER THE GIVEAWAY HERE.
the question is, can you cut hair to wear BOTH ways? you can, but it’s not ideal for both. you want to ask the client how they are going to wear their hair. dr. iyer decided that we are going to cut her hair curly. she likes to wear her hair STRAIGHT about 70% of the time and CURLY the other 30% of the time.
i’m going to start off cutting the hair WET and CURLY. then i’m going to BLOW DRY the hair, FLAT IRON, and cut it STRAIGHT.
using a WIDE TOOTH COMB i’m going to SLOWLY brush through the curls. i want to make sure that the hair is EVENLY SATURATED with water. the water is going to give it the natural curl shape.
taking a look at the PERIMETER of the hair you can see where it needs to be STRAIGHTENED OUT and TRIMMED. make sure to EVEN OUT any of the CURLS that seem out of place.
cutting CURLY hair is a very VISUAL process. you want to locate where the WEIGHT is in the hair and where CURLS need to be touched up. when dealing with weighted curly hair it’s very important so the hair does not become overly FRIZZY.
i’m taking a look at the section where most of the WEIGHT of the CURLS are. i’m making sure everything is EVEN an all CURLS are in place. this will make the end result a nice ROUND FULL SHAPE.
it’s important that you SHAPE the hair into its NATURAL form because curl has a ‘MIND OF ITS OWN.’ the goal is to not have any visible pieces sticking out of the hair.
when cutting hair similar to this TEXTURE it’s important to understand that you are not going to have a uniform shape. i like to refer to this as a ‘HEDGE CUTTING’.
here you can see how the hair is going to sit curly. it’s got a very nice shape in it. i am going to be adding in nvenn ‘texture‘ whipped paste. it is a very LIGHTWEIGHT product that is perfect for this type of COARSE hair. this will give me the ability to BLOW DRY the hair out STRAIGHT so it is SLICK and SMOOTH.
following that, i’m using nvenn ‘ replenish’ strength restoration oil. this oil adds a ton of SHINE and MOISTURE to the hair.
i am going to be using the nvenn ‘fix’ flexible working hairspray to HOLD the texture. with this type of hair, it’s going to need some EXTRA HOLD to keep the SHAPE during the BLOWDRY process.
lastly, we are going to be using nvenn ‘protect’ heat shield. it’s important to use a HEAT PROTECTANT when we are blow drying hair at this high temperature. this will act as a BARRIER so we’re not creating EXCESSIVE damage while STRAIGHTENING the hair.
her hair is now straightened, now we are going to take a look at the PERIMETER of the hair to make sure it is EVEN. you’re going to cut off any extra pieces that we see.
now we are going to continue with the cut as if we were cutting STRAIGHT hair. we are going to be REMOVING the SPLIT ENDS and notching in deep to lighten up the hair.
CURLY hair does need WEIGHT but being that dr. iyer wears her hair straight 70% of the time we want to take out some of the ‘BLOCKINESS’. we are going to WORK THROUGH the hair and add some uniformity to the haircut. we don’t want any pieces that look out of place. again, we’re making sure we heavily analyze the hair so we can remove some of the WEIGHT (because she has a lot of hair).
around the front of the face, its a very VISUAL process to make sure a hair is not out of place. i’m going to REMOVE some of the TEXTURE around her face. i am using a SLIDE CUTTING technique to add TEXTURE to the hair and to prevent TEARING with the shears.
after the full haircut and styling, you can see the lovely TEXTURE that she has as its laying straight.
thank you for tuning in while we go over how to cut hair both STRAIGHT and CURLY. we release a new blog every week and make sure to subscribe to @nvennhairbeauty.
