We're getting so close to 100. That was a big goal for me. I started the vlog last February. So since last February, I've done 100 vlog step by step videos for you guys. So it's pretty cool. Today, what we're going to focus on is hair color. Now what I wanted to do is I wanted to color the haircut that I did in vlog number 97. So if you guys want to go check out the haircut, you can watch that first. You can watch it after. But this is the cut that we're going to focus on. It's a long layered haircut. So you can see how long it is. But also it's got a nice little kickback fringe. We did a three twist. We call it the three layer haircut because we did three twists on the top of the head and cut it to create all the layering. So it's a really simple haircut. Then we went in and now we added the hair color. So what I did was I added depth through the bottom and throughout the haircut as well. So I'm going to show you a full step by step on that. And if you guys have any questions, post them in the comments below. And before you forget, hit that subscribe button so you don't miss any of the videos that we have coming up in the future. We've got a lot of big plans, a lot of videos to do. So let's get started with this one. Here we go. All right, guys. So we're going to start off our sectioning. I'm using the YS Park 102 comb. It's got a nice skinny metal tail to it. So it's easy for creating those partings. And I'm going to start by creating a nice halo section around the top, including the crown area. So I'm going about mid crown down and then a little bit past the high point of the head to create that circle. Now this circle would be based on the density of the hair. This mannequin has a medium density. So I do a medium-sized circle. If she had a finer density of hair, I would probably do a little bit bigger circle. And if she had a higher density of hair, I would do a smaller circle because the higher density of the hair, this halo is going to fall over and it might overtake the entire technique. So you want to make sure you leave a little bit of room for that. Now I'm going to section off the fringe area. That's my next sectioning. Basically going from parietal ridge to the edge of the eyebrow. The thing about color that I love as opposed to hair cutting, hair cutting I feel very precise in. Color, I feel like there's some give. So it's more of a feeling that you get. So with that fringe area it was a little bit more asymmetrical. But right around the edge of the eyebrow. Then I create a triangle section. This one I didn't want to do a full triangle. So you can see I cut off the corner. That was so that I could include some of that hairline hair in there and not go all the way down to the hairline. And in the back portion I go from the crown area down to the occipital bone with a triangle piece as well. This one I didn't have to cut off because obviously there's more density in the back. Then I'm going to create one more on the side. And again there was more density on this side, more hair to work with. So I create that full triangle with a point leaving the hairline unexposed. So I don't want to go all the way down to the hairline, all the way down to the ear, just down enough to create that triangle. The thing I love about triangles, we'll get into the color in a minute. I'm using Joico 4NA 20 volume. What I want to do is create that depth. But why I like creating triangles in the haircut is it's a triangle is based on a diagonal. So if I'm creating a diagonal in the hair it's going to be a little bit softer feel. I also brought in the head sheets for this technique so you can see it. So we're going to create that 4NA all the way through the bottom of the haircut. My goal with this is to show depth and show that shadowing from the layering that we created in the cut that again you guys can watch on vlog number 97 if you want to see that cut in full. So I'm just going through painting scalp to ends 4NA. I like this color because with Joico this is a green base to it. So it definitely cuts out a lot of those red tones that would come through in the hair color. That's you know basic color theory. So I'm just going through softening by adding the depth and the darkness. Then I go through in the rest of the haircut and I'm going to add some brightness to it. Some more gold tones. So I'm using more muted kind of neutral tones in the bottom in the shadowing areas and then where the sun would hit it and would really make this haircut pop I use more of the golden tones. So the other thing I want you to notice as I work through it this is something I learned a long time ago but I use my tail comb and my brush at the same time. So I use the tail comb to section instead of flipping the brush around keeps my brush nice and clean and then I go through with the comb and create my partings. That just allows for easier workflow and anything I can do to make coloring faster. It's what I like to do because this to me is just a quick paint to accent a haircut. So what we're going to do is finish up these sections. You can see at this point I've painted through everything and you can already see that color. The thing I like about the Joyco color they set me an entire box of this stuff and I've really been enjoying working with it because of the fact that it goes on really smooth. It's not a super thick color so even though it's permanent it glides onto the hair really well. I get really good saturation and nice even feel to it when it's all done and processed. So now I'm going in with 7NG 30 volume and the thing I like about the 7NG like I said before I wanted to add more golden natural tones to the hair as well so I don't want to just mute the hair out. It's not all about always going in and neutralizing everything. Hair naturally does have some warmth to it so I want to go in just paint in that NG in each of the triangle sections. So what I like about the head sheet that I did you guys can let me know if you like this kind of look to it but for the hair color I wanted to showcase exactly what I put in each section because I know we only have one camera angle with this as well. So I wanted to show you guys exactly how we're doing each portion of the color. So the green stands for the 4NA throughout this whole head sheet and then the golden color is for our gold 7NG through the rest. So I want to paint full full blown sections the entire triangle. If you wanted a little more blend to the color you could also foil every other section take diagonal sections up the triangle and and separate it that way which would give you a little bit more blend to the color. I like having a little bit more of a bold statement and these colors are in the family they're only three shades apart so it's not going to be that big of a difference. If we were working with blondes then I would definitely break it up and do more foil work throughout this triangle or even balayage these triangles as well. So you can see those tones kind of working together I love the look of them already I love how neutral and deep the 4NA is and then how you know kind of bright and golden you can see that 7NA coming through. So now we're going to we're going to paint the 7NA through the entire fringe area. The reason I chose to do this you could break it up as well because I wanted to add that brightness to the face I didn't want the dark stuff all around her face we're already going to have that in the temple area so I just wanted to brighten it up right in the front. Most people like to see the brightest tone in the front of their hair color. So finishing up the last couple sections again real simple and the color works through really nice so I had no issues with the saturation it actually goes on pretty quick and smooth. You'll see that kind of lay each section on top of each other so as I'm painting I just allow it I try to keep the two colors separated but it's okay if they touch a little bit. So now this is the fun part of the color and where it could get a little tricky and why I really decided to do the head sheet is because you can see the different triangles that I did on the top so even though we're working a circle I kind of create almost like a backgammon board if you guys know what that is it's just triangles placed next to each other which creates a lot of movement and dimension it's also this technique is great for anybody that wears their hair all different directions so it creates a lot of blend but also a lot of versatility in the color as well. You can see all the different pieces we're just kind of painting and separating them keeping everything separated but still allowing it to touch a little bit colors organic it moves throughout the the head so it's okay if some of it touches and blends together. Now if we were working with Leitner it would be a little bit different story there. So finishing up the last couple sections and what I wanted to do is create the darkest piece right in the front because we did the lighter portion in the fringe so if that was the opposite I would probably go completely change my formation. You could even do smaller triangles on the top if you wanted to so there's a lot of variations. I don't want to ever say this is the technique you should do on every guest this is just a variation of something that you can create and it gives you multiple ideas to kind of attack your hair colors. So there you go you can see that's the end result now we're going to blow or we're going to let it process 30 minutes and then it'll be all done. So now I'm going to go in with my brocado mousse blow dry it this is a great mousse because it's a nice light hold but it has a real fullness to feel to it so it gives a lot of volume but it's not sticky which is something I really like in a mousse. I'm going to use the ergo paddle brush got the Dyson blow dryer a lot of you guys are going to ask questions about the Dyson blow dryer I've talked about it in the other videos I do like the blow dryer it is pretty expensive for what it is but I like the tool it's a great conversation piece and it works really well but I think a lot of professional blow dryers work really well so make sure you have an ionic blow dryer something that isn't going to roast the hair while it's drying it and you'll be good to go on that. So as I'm blow drying you can really get the blow drying technique on vlog 97 when we do the cut but I'm just working the hair back and forth I want to show you guys one style with this I think I do two styles in 97 if I remember correctly and then we're going to go in with our joyco thermal protectant spray so when I get the hair 90 dry sometimes 80 dry I spray the thermal protectant spray in and then I finish my blow dry then when I go in with the iron the hair is nice and protected and I don't have to worry about it I love this angle because you can really see the depth of that color you can also see the separation of those layers it really brings it all to life it's the best part about coloring a haircut and why I like to really have the idea of the cut before I do the color in my mind because I can show it off better in the end result so I kick the bang back just to really show that brightness you can see the depth underneath again you can do this multiple ways you could break up that depth if you wanted to but I really like the story of this color and I think it looks great I hope you guys like it that's really the important part but you can see how it shows off the layers that's what I like hope you guys like it let me know in the comments below all right guys like always if you like the cut then hit the subscribe button hit the like button share this video with all of your friends out there and if you have any questions and post them in the comments below I love hearing your questions and also you guys know that I love seeing if you made it this far in the video post that below as well thank you guys so much for watching I'll see you on the next video
