Hair AI, what is it? It is technology right at your fingertips that's basically going to show your guests why we're doing what we're doing as hairdressers, whether that's recommending product or pushing for that extra little half inch off those split ends, or recommending conditioning treatments. This is the X-ray you can show to your guests to explain the professional decisions you're making. It is all about upgrading your console. It's all about making the guest experience better, what better way to do that with technology and blending you, the professionals. So guys, get excited about Hair AI. It makes a big difference in how you work and communicate as a hairdresser. Speaking of being excited, let's talk about KREMA XG. We are gonna start out with our five-stroke 6.4. We also are gonna be working with five-stroke 6.4 Color XG, and we are going to be working with Synchrolift Soft and 20 Volume. So the technique is simple. It all starts about drawing the brighter colors around the face. For that, we are going to be alternating our two formulas, five VR and 20 Volume, with our Color XG. That is our permanent color. What I love about Color XG is that it's going to provide you with a beautiful red intent result. It is strong, it is vibrant, and it is one of the best permanent color lines you guys are gonna get to work with. We are also gonna be working with our Synchrolift Soft. There's a lot of lightners out there. We at John Paul Mitchell Systems have a few for you to choose from. What makes it really important is understanding why you're choosing the lightener you're choosing. So for us, working with Synchrolift Soft, it's gonna give me the ability to not over-lift my red. That's something that I really think is important right now. With reds, one of the biggest mistakes a lot of us make is we over-lift. By over-lifting, yes, you're going to increase intensity, but you're also going to cause that red to wash out quicker, and you're gonna be losing a little bit of depth by over-lifting. So I love the choice of Synchrolift Soft because it's gonna give me a nice controlled, even lift. It's gonna keep her hair beautiful. It's gonna keep her hair healthy, but it's also going to give me the perfect base to run my demi over top. So now that I'm working here, these are little soft weaves in our little side panel here. They are really meant to accentuate and bring a little bit of energy and vibrancy around her face. We're going to work right up on the hairline. This is where our guests always wanna see the most color pop. That's why we are working with our two formulas. Again, our Synchrolift Soft is going to be a little brighter, a little more intense because we're removing that pigment and we're gonna run a demi per minute over top. And then our five VR Color XG in 20 volume is gonna provide a little bit of lift to that natural, but you guys can also see those ends are a little bit brighter. So it's gonna give us a nice, beautiful, vibrant finish as well. That's gonna give us a nice little middle tone. And I like to work in threes. My lightest color, my middle color, my deepest. We're alternating those colors, again, really bringing some attention and some bright little pop around the hairline here. So just alternate those colors. How you guys place your colors is really up to you. I always believe that as an artist. This is just a general pattern for you to follow and you make it yours and you make it all about you guys moving forward. That's what makes us great colors. Now that all these are painted, I am now going to go in with my five VR Crema XG in 10 volume. This is our deposit only color line, which means no lift through here. You are basically going to get beautiful, beautiful, healthy results. This is going to make our hair look shinier. It's going to add a nice red violet shade and a depth and deposit. This is by far our deepest tone that we'll be using. And we're giving all that kind of hair that's left in between a little bit of love with that Crema XG. So again, pay a little attention to the ends there. You guys can see that they have been previously lifted. So this is going to balance everything out and give us a nice, beautiful, rich violet red backdrop for the hair to fall over. So this is the majority of the color that we're working with. And what you see now is I'm working into the second section that we put in. And I went in with that five VR to our regrowth here with the Crema XG giving a strict deposit at the root. And now I'm blending that in basically a hand painting technique, a balayage technique, if you will. I'm blending those colors together. So I have my beautiful five VR Crema XG deposit only at the root and I'm allowing my color XG and 20 volume to give me some lift and some kick to the ends. What you're going to see is a nice blended result through here, a balanced result where again, all the pop's going to be around the face, but we're still working with different levels of color from the roots to the ends to give us a nice lived in textured red when we're done here. So the idea is for all of this to blend together. But also if you guys notice, I used my hair AI tool in the beginning. And again, I love this tool so much because it gives you the ability to sit down with your guests, spend some more time with your guests, put that little bit of extra love and communication into why you're doing what you're doing. One of the questions that you'll get asked in the upfront with your hair AI is, you'll be asked about the hair texture. And her hair was a little bit on the finer side, which was obvious. You guys can see that as you look at it, but she has a lot of it. So her density was high. And by using that tool, even for me, even as an expert that we are as professionals, it also enabled me to decide what technique I wanted to use. So I went in with those baby lights around the hairline, again to create my pop. And then I really went in with a hand painting technique into the back and in towards that interior because I wanted to save some time. So using that tool, having a proper console, not only does it help the stylist, excuse me, not only does it help the client understanding why you're choosing the products you're choosing, it also enables you to decide what technique you can do here. Time is money. You wanna give the biggest bang for your pop and you don't wanna create all this extra time and intricacy in weaves and foils where it's not going to make too big of a difference. So you guys will notice I went ahead in and I painted our crema XG all the way through that nape area from regrowth to ends. And that's going to give me, again, a deeper palette for my color to fall on. It's all about adding lightness but allowing it to fall on some depth. That also saves a lot of time just with basically a single process scalp to ends application through the back. So now on those little two triangles in the back section, I am going to keep my five VR 10 volume deposit only crema formula at the root and I'm gonna blend that in with my five VR color XG 20 volume on the ends. This is really all about saving time as a hairdresser but still getting that pop that you're looking for and I'm gonna continue off in that section as well. So anybody that's been in the class with me, you guys will know I say this all the time, look at it from the top looking down. You'll see we have that little top circle section left. You know, in this panel in through here, I am going to paint those roots but I'm looking to create, that's my top section then I have my interior section and then my lightest section around the hairline. So it gives you a different kind of a bird's eye view but I take that bird's eye view when I'm creating my technique so I can really, that's how hair falls with layers if that makes any sort of sense to you guys. On that top section, we did five VR crema XG and 10 volume through that top circle. Again, saving time. We process it for 35 minutes. We've rinsed everything out here wonderfully, made sure we got everything removed. Don't skimp on this service guys, I love that we're showcasing this because it is all about giving your guests some love back at the shampoo bowl. We're using the products that we recommended to our guests here today. Again, referring back to our hair AI tool and really making sure that we explain to her what products we were using and why. Over top, we ran another crema XG five VR over top of everything, even over top of those previously lightened pieces. This was really just to blend everything together and you guys can see how amazing that shine is from crema and what you have is a very client friendly, wearable, beautiful, shiny, healthy red. You have all your little disconnections in through here and she was happy, what a beautiful model. Thank you guys so much for watching.
