Block Coloring is a very popular Hair Coloring Techniques amongst creative hair coloring artists. In this episode, hair coloring expert Kelle uses a unique block coloring technique to spice up a modern British Bob Haircut, or what she calls a British Shag.

Color Blocking is a process in which color is added in "blocks" giving new dimension to just a portion of the hair, such as bangs. To add three-dimensional color, the hair may be separated into dozens of sections with two to three colors "blocked" in alternating sections. This service must be touched up every four to six weeks. This can be applied to all kinds of hairstyles, and in this case if applied to a British Bob Haircut, or a British Shag.

Specialty color/Avante Guard Hair Prints - Depending on whether you are coloring a bob haircut or another hair style and type, you could create a simple striped pattern or polka-dotted pattern using a haircolor or lightener with a thick cream developer so that it will not run or drip. Apply thin stripes over the surface of the bob haircut along the top layer, or simply apply the color/lightener in small dots on the outer surface of the hair. Creating a leopard pattern is trickier, as it needs to start with a tawny-brown base color and apply dark brown/black haircolor in small circles and allow the color to process.

This method only works on a bob haircut that is one-length and is styled to lie straight and smooth. If your hair is layered or curly, it won't look as good.. There are many techniques used in haircoloring to give the hair a special flash and special style.

Some of the benefits of block coloring include: 1. Roots are less apparent as the hair grows compared to an all-over color;
2. The effect that can be achieved ranges from natural-looking to surprisingly bold;
3. If you choose to maintain highlights, retouching is only necessary every 2 1/2 to 3 months (minimum)*;
4. Highlights offer tremendous flexibility for changing the look down the road.

  • Uhhh Thanks for showing us what the end result looks like!!

  • The way Amy E. conducts interviews is unprofessional and she lacks credibility. She constantly interferes with the authority of the stylist she's interviewing (Stop touching the client's hair!!! Stop Oooing and Ahhhing - just listen!).

    Her questions should pertained to who these interviews are meant to inform - hairstylists - instead of herself. Yes Amy, that's what we call "oxidized" hair color in the hair industry.

    Step it up as an interviewer, Amy! You can do it!

  • you guys do look alike

  • If you don't know how to apply color or do a consultation you need to go back to cosmetology school and if you never went to cosmetology school you certainly shouldn't be coloring hair.

  • Wow, another great video! Keep up the fabulous work. ;)
