I must say this was by far the best hair color tutorial for root shadowing I have EVER seen. Thank you for a video that was easy to follow and understand. You not only explained what you were doing but also why you were doing it, which is so important. You also included tips. Very professional and awesome job.
Hey I know this is super old but with covid-19 I'm trying to do my hair myself I am trying to go silver with a root melt/smudge and the last part is what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I looked up these products but she says toners a lot and what I found was either hair color or color gloss, do you happen to know which it is?
Actually I think I figured it out, the color gloss is used for toning as well so I hope I'm on the right track, someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, i really don't want to have this venture be a disaster
The stylist I have been seeing for 15 plus years used your technique from this video after I showed her, and the outcome was absolutely amazing ! Thank you
Absolutely love the color formula used! It’s so soft and natural. Also love how you really focused to maintain the integrity of the client’s hair while giving her the desired look. Wow!
I may have already left a comment, but this literally is my bible for this process. So simple, quick and straightforward. I wish more vids were like yours. Just get to it already. Thanks!
"Wow"... Great job... Beautifully done... If I had not seen it with my own eyes... I would not have believed this could work... I have been doing hair for over 30 years... This was amazing. "Thank YOU" for sharing this video/tutorial... ;)
I watched this video with my 15 year old daughter. The video was great. After we watched I went to the local Beauty Supply Store and bought Toners that I liked (similar to what she says in the video) My daughter followed the video and my hair turned out great. Thank you so much for taking your time to do the video. My daughter and I will use this video again & do this process again.
Hi, Darla Can you tell me exactly what toners you bought? I also want to try this and will be getting mine from my local Beauty Supply Store. Thank you!
I LOVE IT !!! What a Beautiful job you did on her hair. WOW !!! WE need A Few thousand of YOU all over the States because there aren't many good hair Dressers like you that can color. Thanks for sharing your talent. Great Work.
You're amazing! Your techniques and the simplicity of your vdos are just awesome! Thank your for inspiring not just myself but others aswell! Keep the vdos coming!!! 👌👌👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌
can you tell me what products are used pls to get this look if possible using wella colour touch products due to limited line in the shop near me. thankyou
I did this but with cascading demi colors in levels 7, 8 and 9 cause my natural root is already a 6, and it came out awesome!!!! THANK YOU for showing us a way easy method! It came out identically just as good as the vids where the beauticians make it look sooo hard with foils, and weaving.
Shruffle Love Hi Shruffle Love! I can't get hold of shades eq...I use Wella Colortouch Demi's. Can I pls ask which colors 7,8,9 you used for your melt. My client has no virgin regrowth yet, but her first three inches of her old Demi have gone brassy/ coppery and it needs neutralising or going a bit darker. I made the mistake of putting her balayage pieces of lightener too high and got a slight orange mid band...it's not too bad though. I used 6.71 originally with 1.9% My biggest fear is melting into the blonde pieces and having them turn khaki/grey. Hope you can help xx
Jake Henderson - sorry for the late reply. This didn't come up in my notifications and I just saw it today. I didn't use Wella, so I am not familiar with the names to tell you, but in my experience brassiness of any type is still cut best using a silver or grayish demi or toner. Then you would just adjust the levels accordingly to cascade down from darker to lighter. If your clients natural level is 6, start with a 6 level demi, but dilute just a tiny bit with clear. You never get a good smudged-line look from the natural color to the bleached bit - if you use the identical darkness of the clients hair. Without seeing your client it's hard, but if her natural hair is ashy, stick to the silver tones and mix 50/50 with neutrals. If she wants her blonde ends to be platinum then keep with the 9 level silvery tones (violet if she's too yellow) mixed with clear and watch until you see the color blonde you want. I hope this helps for the next client!
Jake - also, if the bleach hitting the old demi is going brassy, you must look for another type of demi to use. The unique beautiful thing about Shades EQ is that is washes almost out in 3 - 4 washes making it ideal to overlap with bleach without going brassy. I know what you're talking about, because I've had that happen too with another demi I used, and so I switched. I am thinking you might be in the UK (or an Aussie?) from the kisses you left at the end of your comment? The professional line of Wella products are amazing, and I have heard good things. There is a lady on Facebook that is an expert at everything Wella, and deals with a ton of people from the UK who cannot get Redken Shades EQ. I belong to the group. Look up "Killer Hair Group for Crib Colorists". You can ask Wella questions there, and which kind are best to use for shadow roots, color melts, and balayage. Hope that helps.
@Asa Olsen sorry, never heard of Thriven recipe, but it sounds amazing. If you put the recipe list up here, I can try to suggest where to buy ingredients, and help with measurements - but her site is currently down.
Thank you so much for the education. I am grateful that you didn't make this a 30-minute + tutorial. If you were in my area, I would love to have you do my hair. Great Job!!!
Thanks for sharing this video, I learned something finally. It was easy to follow, this was a perfect 10. The other videos I've seen were too distractive, I had to click off. I'm glad I've found this. And I agree with every comment here, No noise, No people talking in the background, No music, so that really help, I was able to focus, on the technique.
Love it.... nice and clear... CONCISE, Straight to the point... non like others talking too much and not really showing a clear technique.... :-) it would HELP MUCH MORE IF YOU HAVE THE NAME OF THE COLORS SOMEWHERE IN THE SCREEN.
The video and explanation was great until the end when the model wasn't turned all the way around for us to see her part and her front hairline. It's super frustrating when you watch an entire video and don't see then complete end result. We all know this is the most important part of the style ( what is seen in the part and front hairline) and so many Stylists do this.
Cher Pelchat I agree. If it was applied to go with the part and made a point to change the pattern for the frame of the face. Let’s see what you were explaining
Omggg you're the first n best to explain why n what's so well. Due to Covid 19 n summer starting here in FL I totally get the 3 color process !!! Thank you so much !!! Hers turned out Gourgeous..... My turn next 😊 I did mine last night. Thank you So much my color is perfect and my hair is soft not dried out. I used the 7n on my roots 8nn next then used T18 an T 35 toners combed through an just right. Plus what a time saver. I had 1" brown /grey growth this blended beautifully. You Tops.!!!
can you give me some advice pls products to buy I have access to wella colour touch I can't get colour charm or redkin I really want to try this method. my hair is currently a light to medium ash but the top us slightly med ashy /gold tones
😃⭐️ really!? How did it go? My hair is orange…. I’m in love with this woman’s hair color 😍.. I haven’t even toned my Bob hair length yet… I have the T-18 & T -28 Thought maybe tone it .. then try this shadow root technique? With the 9 v 9 p .. oh hell my hair is orange ish blonde yellow… ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for this amazing video. You explained it perfectly! Now can someone help me with toners. I live in a place that doesn't have redken but we have wella? What wella brand color would I use to achieve the same look?
Being a professional , you make the application look so easy, I'm going to have a go , as the result looked gorgeous and so fresh and natural. Also I noticed your model looked to have dry damaged hair at front, which improved greatly by the end result..... excellent no nonsense video x
FINALLY! a PROFESSIONAL that actually KNOWS what they are doing instead of yammering on about crap they obviously know NOTHING about! ive been sifting through youtube videos on how to properly bleach and tone your own hair at home and trying to find out the best products to use since i really cant afford paying 200$ to have it done at a salon which im assuming thats why alot of us are here. YOU DONE SUCH AN AMAZING JOB ON HER HAIR!!! THAT SHADE OF BLONDE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
What an incredible job absolutely gorgeous beautiful very good teacher thank you you educated me and I definitely will be checking out the Shades EQ exceptional work.😎🇨🇦
giselle perez hah i think that all the time. Like what am i paying for school for when they dont even know how to do the more progressive and better techniques. Or better yet do and are too lazy to teach them.
Because Cosmetology school is to only teach you the basics and to pass boards. It's up to you once you get out to learn. Become an assistant first that is the best thing you could ever do for yourself.
This is AMAZING!!! I want to do this with my hair! Where are you located? Do you know any good stylists in Toronto that you can recommend?? You did a fabulous job!👌
I must say this was by far the best hair color tutorial for root shadowing I have EVER seen. Thank you for a video that was easy to follow and understand. You not only explained what you were doing but also why you were doing it, which is so important. You also included tips. Very professional and awesome job.
Formula used
Redken Shades EQ
Base: equal parts 6T, 6N, 7N

Alexis Tollinchi that’s what she says

Because it just aint that pretty in my opinion
Possibly because the hair was seriously damaged
Wow!! Beautiful job! Wish you had done my hair when it was blonde! Really gorgeous!!

Looks amazing...very pretty. Good..directions as well..thank you
Being a professional , you make the application look so easy, I'm going to have a go , as the result looked gorgeous and so fresh and natural. Also I noticed your model looked to have dry damaged hair at front, which improved greatly by the end result..... excellent no nonsense video x
toner can't repair hair in fact you need to be careful they actually also damage hair not as much as bleach but its not great to over tone dry hair
I loved this ! I did it opposite aways . I did all three at once and usually my blonde doesn't get blonde enough .
FINALLY! a PROFESSIONAL that actually KNOWS what they are doing instead of yammering on about crap they obviously know NOTHING about! ive been sifting through youtube videos on how to properly bleach and tone your own hair at home and trying to find out the best products to use since i really cant afford paying 200$ to have it done at a salon which im assuming thats why alot of us are here.

Great teacher. Better then my cosmetology teacher! Looking forward for more
giselle perez hah i think that all the time. Like what am i paying for school for when they dont even know how to do the more progressive and better techniques. Or better yet do and are too lazy to teach them.
Because Cosmetology school is to only teach you the basics and to pass boards. It's up to you once you get out to learn. Become an assistant first that is the best thing you could ever do for yourself.
Videos like these are sooo much better than beauty school. I want a refund on beauty school tuition.
amazing. looks so beautiful. love that.
This is SOOOO helpful! Thank you so much :)
Oh that melt is so soft. Great!
This is AMAZING!!!
I want to do this with my hair!
Where are you located?

You did a fabulous job!👌
Yes, the best one in Toronto is: Miss Mistleberries Haircrazies, Wonder to Gretchen Road 503,3rd floor.
Trust me 😂😂😂😂
One of the best videos to explain this shadow root and colour melt. Excellent 👊
