@@tracymcginty2242 ridiculous. So the level is 7.5 and the tone is mostly NB and P since the higher the tone the less pigment it has. She could've just used 7N and 8P.
Oh my gosh!! It came out so gorgeous on my hair!! I thought for sure it was going to look bad but I thought it couldn't be any worse than what I had-which was 3/4" very dark ash mixed with silver grey, a harsh line of demarcation, (I was solid colored not weaved) and super light yellow blonde after that. It totally looks like I got a weave! I'm shocked at how good it looks! It just blended my natural color seamlessly into the blonde and even blended out the gray! I am seriously shocked at how good it worked! THANK YOU for saving me from the dreaded Covid hair!!
I love your work!! I really need a root smug and toner in my hair I just got done. I have a lot of really hard lines and was wondering if I sent a picture if you might give me your opinion on root smug and toner color to correct the hard lines and brassiness?
Never underestimate the power of "strand testing" for those who were frustrated that she didn't give an exact formula. The formula she used on her client will look different on others so I always recommend doing a strand test or two if you're unsure what a formula will look like on your client. 🙂
I’m a natural level 4 (sort of ashy) brown and I’m gonna have my stylist (who’s also my mom, lol) try to lighten it so I️ can get hair similar to Khloe K! I’m a colored level 3 at the moment. Should I️ have her lighten it using the balayage technique and just blending over the natural root color with shades EQ that way I️ never have a demarcation line when my roots grow out? If so do you know what level of shades eq I️ should go with to blend it?
Hi my hair is evenly bleached to a 10A ash blonde and I have a teeny tiny regrowth but I’m tired of how high maintenance it is retouching my roots. I wanted to do this technique and wanted your opinion on which colors to mix so I can get a beautiful at home results like this. I have level 3-4 dark brown hair. Also would I follow your same separating technique and use that brush as well?
This is SO beautiful. I need to do the same (I’m not a pro, just friends, family;) on myself, a short pixie but same exact coloring as your model. I’ve failed doing root shade before, wind up too much of the eq toner on rest of blond hair so ruins all the bleach-hilights done prior. Do u have any basic recommendations for doing root smudge on very short blonde hair? Appreciate any advice and plz keep doing your thang👍🏼😄
I need your advice. If i put level 6-0 professional dye over level 7 box dyed hair which turned brassy, will it help to neutralize the brass? I know it will be a level darker but im not sure if it will work on top of box dye
hello what a nice job !! I don't understand the language well because I'm from Spain and I speak little English? What dyes and how oxygenated have you made the root and cusjyo tuempo pose? and in the means and tips to make that pearly beige blonde look so pretty? and then how do you keep that tone alternating wicks or just dyeing the darker root? thanks greetings !!
Did you use the 9 to add just a hint of silver/blue? I've heard 9 is less pigmented in shades. Or were you more focused on the blonde pieces in this instance and wanted dimension in the root?
Hi Lexi....I have a similar client but with slightly more brassier/ coppery base from an old demi. I can't get hold of Shades eq....could I pls ask what you feel would be the equivalent color combination in Wella Color touch Demi's? Also...how do I avoid the darker tint from colouring my clients blonde balayaged pieces...I don't want them turning khaki. Would melting it into clear help? I usually use 1.9% developer with my CT Demi's for a root melt....am I doing that correctly? Many thanks xx
I'm doing a girls hair on Thursday and have been bleaching her hair hair for a year one she is all blonde. I want to do a shadow root.Do you think I could use this equation and get similar results.
How do you not get it on the other pieces of hair? I'm a hairstylist and sometimes when I do a shadow root or smudge I find that the color comes out splotchy especially if they have really blonde pieces. I would say I am pretty careful when doing it. Am I doing something wrong? I also have the wow comb and always use shades eq .
When she comes back for highlights is that shadow root a problem breaking through or is it faded out before the next visit? I’ve used shades eq before in darker levels and it lingers forever when I’ve done it
Question, how do u do this if u have to use permanent color on the regrowth due to a lot of grey? I have someone I'd like to try like a foilyage color melt but her hair is bleach blonde with dark roots with a lot of grey. Not sure how to seamlessly make this happen cause putting bleach on the regrowth after dying it is just gonna make it orange and how do i get the dark in there over the blonde while leaving the blonde out that i want to stay blonde? Please help, lol
Hi I've used shades eq for 1st time today . Were in the uk . I did a root smudge of 7n and 7p. Then toned ends with 10ml 9v ,10ml 9p and 10ml of clear and 30ml of processing solution But the consistency was different in the ends colour then in the root smudge. It felt more like a gel rather than liquid . Is that normal . Thanks
Would you say in total you needed more 6nb than you originally thought seeing you put more of the 6 on at the bowl? Out of the entire formula how much of it was 6nb? Because I have a platinum blonde wanting to have a shadow root and she’s a natural level 6 with some regrowth...I want to use shades because I don’t want to make any harsh lines, but I also want some staying power so I feel maybe using more of the 6 will give that, esp seeing I need it to almost act as a filler as well? I love this turnout, so to achieve this look on someone who is bleach all over and wants a nice transition into the shadow root so her upkeep isn’t as often, what formula shades would you use? Thanks for letting me pick your brain lol..nobody at my salon uses Shades so it’s hard to get some other stylists thoughts on the best way to go.
now looking back to get this look I would have probably used 6n, 8v, 9gi. the 9gi will act as your filler the 8v will keep it more neutral to ashy and the 6n will give you the depth that will blend her natural to the highlights without a hard line if applied correctly
she came in with grown out highlights. i just put the toners on the color she already had done. we were blending the line from the highlights with her natural hair color.
Thanks for the video! I’m licensed but I’ve been out of the game to stay home and raise my daughter! I’m doing this to my sisters hair next month, if this client wanted her blonde lighter than it already was with the darker roots you did, more so like a color melt do you normally rinse the darker root color out first or would you just lighten the ends after applying the root color and blend with your comb?
Hi! Did you use the solution to make this gel based? Or is this just regular shadesEQ? Also how long did you leave the toner on her head? Sorry if you said that in the video I might have missed that!
I just use the normal processing solutions with shades eq. When I did this video the gel processing solution hadn't come out yet. I left her toner on for about 10 to 15 min.
