 What's up guys welcome to today's video so last video I said I was gonna do a giveaway so I have this maverick barbering kit that I'm gonna send to one of you lucky subscribers so the lucky person today is Kim Malone I believe she's from Nashville Tennessee she says my students and I watch your videos every day we love your vlogs we also attended your class at fashion focus in Nashville Tennessee so Kim thank you so much thank you to the students for watching these videos today what we're gonna focus on is a chocolate bob yes I'm gonna color a bob chocolate colors using the brand new Paul Mitchell chocolate series this is the end result that we get we get a multi-dimensional brown hair color I think it's a really cool technique that you can use in all different ways with different tones I hope you guys like it let's get started here we go I'm very excited to share with you guys this video today we're gonna focus on coloring a bob chocolate colors this is the brand new chocolate plus series from Paul Mitchell so I wanted to create a video that had multi-dimension and I know that coloring a bob is also sometimes a little bit difficult so the two tones that I chose for this particular bob I really wanted to bring it into a deep kind of dark chocolate so I used a level four and then I'm also going to use a level six to create that multi-dimension now the mannequin starting off or maybe your guest or whatever she's already living at about a level six so I just wanted to change the tone of her previously her previous level but the four I'm really gonna drop her down so I want that to be the majority of the technique is the level four and then I'm going to use the level six as like a highlight so we mix these equal parts in the bowl 20 volume the reason I chose 20 volume instead of 10 I just feel like 20 volume reacts a little bit better on a mannequin but if I'm just depositing hair color and not lifting it then I would definitely probably go with a level 10 especially for that the level four hair color and then for the six I'd probably use the 20 volume so just make that adjustment with your human guests but for today we're using 20 volume so the sectioning for this is very simple I don't like to over complicate hair color because to me it's more of an organic feel anyways so what I do is I basically take a horseshoe type section around right at the mid crown area and then I work with the round of the head so I kind of think of things in haircutting terms I'm working around section following the round of the head basically creating straps of color and I start with my darkest color first I really want to put that dark color right around the face because again it's going to be the majority of the color it's the color I'm choosing because I feel that's going to go best with her skin tone so I'm going to start with the four and then I do another strap that comes around and that's going to be my level six so I paint that in now the other thing I want you to notice is that as I round the head as I get behind the ear into the depth of this bob I'm going to use the darker color pretty much throughout the entire back portion two reasons because when you're coloring a bob I don't want to put too many highlights in the very back because it's going to look spotty as that graduation builds up it can look a little spotty when you add highlights to it so I like to paint that deeper tone all the way through into the back so I'll switch up my technique I'll start with the lighter color and then shift into the darker color when I get back there so again I went dark light dark and then light so I'm in the light portion now and notice because I'm working diagonal back each one of these sections is going to fall over the other if I did these vertical then I would get a more stripey effect even though the tones aren't that different I still want it to have a nice little blend to it so I'm going diagonal back each of those sections is still going to have kind of it's going to come out you're going to see it but it's not going to lay super stripey so I like to use in the diagonal so last section I'll use the lighter tone that lighter tones going to kind of lay over the rest of the back so I'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side starting off with my dark color working diagonal back I've already painted most of the back part of the hair so this side becomes a little bit quicker and I'll just work my way up now this series they call it the plus series because it's great for gray coverage so if you're looking for gray coverage within this product it's it's great for that this would be a great thing for my guests that have gray hair to be able to create multi-dimension because you don't want to just paint one color on your guest that's not a natural look so being able to go through mix up your tones this could even be a redhead or you know blonde whatever you wanted it's still going to have a nice blend to it so even if you don't like these tones or you're not trying to go darker with your guest it's still a great placement so remember that same thing I'm in my darker tone again I went dark light dark and I'll go light at the top portion and just painting that through this is my last section going with my light level 6 CH so there we go now I'm going to move into the top the top's pretty simple as well we're going to go kind of with the same effect what I wanted to do is just take my first horizontal strap across the top and then I'm going to build triangles off of that and the reason I went with the horizontal strap is I want that brightness to kind of fall over the entire head just as a highlight in the back and then I'm going to work through these triangle pieces and I'm going to crisscross the triangles so almost pizza slices fitting in to help everything blend as well so if we do like straps across the top and we keep everything very uniform and in the same direction what happens is you can get a little bit of a stripey look if you don't want to create those stripes in the hair color then crisscross your triangles and you'll get a blend on both sides so no matter how they wear their hair it's going to blend in there so I went dark on my first triangle light on the second triangle then I'll go dark on the next triangle and then light to finish it off so you can see I take it from the tip of that triangle and I go right over and just create about a an inch wide section by the end of the triangle and the last section I'm going to do is going to be my lighter section if you didn't want to do that there's nothing wrong with creating kind of a thick feel but this particular haircut is worn on the left hand side parting so all that hair that's on top of this section right here is going to fall over it so you'll see in the end result we get that kind of dark chocolate falling over it it really makes it pop because you got this little bit of lighter hair that falls down right across the cheekbone so you'll see it in one second when I show you the after so this is our technique again you guys can use this in multiple different ways you don't have to do it exactly the way I did it so let me finish it off so I can show you what the end result is I'm using palmatule fast form speeds up your drying time it's got a medium hold so I'm going to blow dry that then I use hot off the press as a heat protectant and it's got a nice medium hold to it and I smooth out the hair that way and I finish it with an abapui finishing spray and then you can see look at all the dimension in this color technique like I said you can use it on any tones that you want but see the blend but it's also bold so that's what I like about this technique I hope you guys like it I'd love to see your pictures if you have any questions hit me up on social media at freeson education thanks for watching
