 Collin Cruiser Artistic Director of Color for Jump Home Mitchell Systems here today to share with you guys another exciting video. This one featuring Color XG and Crema XG. Friendly reminder, techniques don't have to be super difficult. They can be very easy. That's what this one is. We are going in just using Permanent Color at the regrowth and three different shades of Crema XG on the ends to create dimension and movement in a really simple process that's gonna look fun, natural, vibrant, and beautiful. All right, so let's get into this look. First of all, it is starring Crema XG. For any of you guys that haven't used Crema XG, I wanna start off as to share with you what Crema XG is. It is our brand new vegan, no-ammonia demi-permanent color. It is formulated with cotton seed oil and rice milk. It loves, loves, repeat. Loves that type of texture we're looking at right now, that previously colored hair. It is also perfectly shade-maxed to work right alongside our Color XG, which we'll share with you today. So the first section here, it's a very organic look, very lived in. We're taking a circle section out of the top to allow us to let that kinda lay over top of our looks throughout. There's one consistent thing that's happening in this technique. It is our 6R Color XG in 20 vol at the root. That is our permanent hair color line. You guys can see, she has some natural regrowth. This 6R and 20 from Color XG is going to give us a beautiful, nice, vibrant red base, something that's gonna look great on her hair, and it's gonna also help us to really bring some life to those ends when we put our Crema XG from our mid-shaft to ends here. So this 6R and 20 volume is consistent. It is what we're using at every root here. So I went ahead and pre-did all that. You guys will see now I am working with our deeper tone, which is our 6R and 10-volume Crema. So we have our 20-volume Color XG at the root. We are now going to use our shade-matched formula on those ends. That is our Crema, that 6R and 10 vol. Basically what we're doing is we're going to deposit something a little bit deeper in tone throughout here in that nape area, which is going to allow our lighter colors to pop, because it's gonna fall on that depth. So using a foil just as a separator so it keeps her cape a little cleaner for filming. So 6R, 20-volue Color XG, that's gonna lift. That's our permanent color. Our demi-permanent on those mid-shafts and ends. We don't wanna put ammonia on those ends. We also don't want those ends to be permanently red. We know she's gonna change her color, so Crema's perfect for that. So now that we have a little more depth, I'm gonna take that inverted V-section. I'm going to apply my 6R and 20-volume Color XG at the root. Again, that's a consistent formula throughout all of our roots here. We need that permanent color to lift and provide that beautiful red tone and canvas. And then we're going to now work with our 7-O-R and 10-volume Crema on those mids. So one of the things I wanna talk about as we start to think, yeah, hair color works in two ways. It works in level and it works in tone. Tone directly affects level. So yes, we're using a brighter level and our 7 is gonna appear brighter, but we're also using a brighter tone. We're using orange instead of red. So where that red's gonna give us a little bit of depth, that orange is going to give us a little bit of pop and light reflection. So these two colors seem very close, but I think it's little decisions like this that we make that really create beautiful, organic hair color using different tones, different levels to really get some movement and some creativity in our color. So I alternated that 7-O-R with our 6-R. So one section 7-O-R, one section 6-O-R. So we can start to create some movement through the back panel. I'm now working on the front hairline 6-R, 20-volume Color XG at the root. That's gonna give us our lift again. And around this hairline, I'm going to start towards that hairline with our third color, which is our 8-R-O Crema XG in 10-volume. This is our brightest color. We wanna place our brightest color around the face to draw a little more attention to the face and also give her the appearance of being nice, light, and bright around that hairline. Now that that section's done, I'm gonna drop this next section and what I'm gonna do now is start to bring in that 7-O-R to provide a little bit of depth. So what you guys can see, think about it as a balayage. We have our O-R, kinda our brighter 8-level around the face. Now we're tying that together with our 7. We're gonna repeat that on the same side, on the other side, excuse me. So same formulas, just repeating on the other side. One of the things I love when I'm in these organic kind of color modes is I like to be in the moment. So it's good to have a pattern. It's good to have a general idea of what you wanna do. But it's also good to be in the moment with the hair. So sometimes there's more hair on the left side than the right side. So you don't exactly do the same thing you're doing, but you're creating the same concept, just by being in the moment with the hair. So ultimately, we did that 8RO on those ends around the hairline for a little more pop, and then we're bringing that 7-O-R in this section right here for a little more depth. We have our last section, which is that beautiful top circle. It's gonna act as a panel that's gonna overlay all the great work that we put in through the interior there. 6R, 20 volume Color XG at the root, gives you the lift that you need. And then what we're going to do in through that top area is we are going to go in with our 7-O-R on that mid shafts and ends. Again, crema is an absolutely amazing product that makes the hair feel totally different when it's done. It really is like a conditioning treatment to the hair. So it's pretty exciting. So I'm working that in, making sure I don't have any holidays, really saturating. What I love too is that the crema XG is perfectly shade matched for the Color XG, so you don't have to really worry about overlapping or anything like that. You're also gonna get beautiful, long-lasting results from the crema that fade on tone, which is awesome when you're working with demi-permanent on the ends. This process, this is for 20 minutes, and there's our final look. You have a beautiful dimensional red, deeper at the base, brighter on those edges and ends. You can see the dimension and the movement that we created there. Hope you guys enjoy. Hopefully you guys enjoy that technique. Again, very simple, permanent color at the regrowth Color XG, three different shades of demi-permanent, crema XG at the ends.
