 What's up guys welcome to today's video so on the video today what we're gonna focus on is taking a dated highlighting technique with brassy color and we're gonna neutralize it and we're also gonna add a shadow root to make it more modern feelings so we take old stripy highlights make a modern it's a great technique that you can use in the salon right away and it doesn't take a lot of extra effort so I know you guys gonna like this video definitely let me know in the comments below let's get started here we go all right guys so now you can see the before so what we did was we went in we put some straps in there some really stripy highlights to give this in a date a dated appearance but also what I want you guys to realize is that the reason this looks so dated is because it's brassy and it hasn't been toned so toners can play a big role in giving your hair color a finished look no hair color should be done with just bleach you should be using a toner so I'm gonna show you guys a toning technique to do a nice shadow root we're gonna use Paul Mitchell the Demi lavender muted metallics it's a brand-new tone from them and then also the 8PA and 6BV to add depth at that root so you can see how those highlights come right to the root I want to go in and just break that up so I am gonna section this away for me this is a pretty standard sectioning that I do on all my hair color techniques because I like to separate the top and the bottom whether I'm doing something different on them or not I like to break it up so I can really get an idea for it and then at the very end if I want to switch it up a little bit I can so I'll twist up that top section I section the hair really just following the hairline and now I'm gonna go in with that 8PA 6BV and start working that through the base I'm gonna hurry up and get this done but what I want you guys to to focus on as I go through it and when we speed this up is I'm putting that on the base not really working it through the through the ends and then I take the lavender from about two inches from the scalp and I run that through the ends and then I'll work those two tones together using in between my fingers so I just kind of work that back and forth so I'll run that lavender through and then at the very end just kind of tap it with my fingers to blend the two tones together it gives it a nice seamless feel you'll notice when you look at this that these tones look very similar and they're very dark don't be afraid of how dark a tone looks when you're coloring hair a lot of people get too scared they take their toner off too early and then they don't get the result they were looking for so another thing I want you guys to know about the Mutant Metallics is that their timed intensity which basically means that the longer you leave them on the hair the more intense it gets a little bit deeper it gets so if we were working on a lighter level like let's say a level 10 if I left this on for 20 minutes instead of five minutes then I'm gonna get a more intense feel so we are gonna leave this on for 20 minutes to process this whole thing because I want the demi at the base to get its full process and I'm not worried about taking it down a notch on the ends so we just work that through again from two inches at the scalp that's the 8 PA 6 BV you can do whatever hair color line you use just know my choices for that where I wanted to have that kind of ashy tone but then I just add a little bit of that 6 BV to bring the depth into the hair color add a little bit more violet to it and then at the very back I do that whole base color so from the ear to ear on the very back underneath that top crown section that I sectioned away I color the entire deep tone from scalp to ends because that's the depth underneath and naturally your guests are not gonna have highlights there whether unless you put them there so unless you're calling somebody overall completely blonde and still at that point I would put the darkest toner underneath even if I wasn't taking them out of that blonde stage so hope that makes sense let me know if you have questions in the comments but that's the way that I would work it and then all the way through this crown area I go through same thing that first two inches I run the darker tone a darker level and then I go the lavender from mid shaft to ends and then I just smudge them together to blend them at that base at that two inch mark another thing you'll notice I'm doing is I do comb the hair before I go through each section this is something you want to highly saturate because if you don't you're gonna end up with holidays or just hair that doesn't get colored so you want to make sure you comb the hair out nice and smooth I work the hair back and forth I've sped this video up I did take a little bit of time on this I don't want you to think it happens super fast because I do really work those tones through this is a good overhead you can see the striping is so notice how I paint that deeper tone in that breaks up the striping is at the base and then I don't mind a little bit of striping is through the ends because especially if your guest is gonna wear their hair a little wavier it'll bring out those highlights really make them pop so but yeah just go in comb right at the two inch mark and work that finishing up the last section like I said I process this for 20 minutes you can decide if you if you're just using the muted metallics you can leave it on timed intensity like we talked about if you want to leave it on a little bit longer get a little more depth to it but with the palm and show the Demi I left it on for 20 minutes process it through you can see those tones how they now melt together the whole overall canvas works together that's what it's all about that's what makes hair color go from being dated being brassy being stripy to being modern I want to go in with a wand kind of spice it up a little bit I love seeing the wave to it but I want to show you guys both versions because the internet likes that and you can see using a little bit of that palmatule texture spray really brings the life into this
