 What's up guys welcome to today's video. Today we're gonna jump right into our hair coloring technique We're gonna be coloring a bob haircut. I'm gonna be sharing with you guys a block coloring technique The beauty of this technique is that it doesn't have to be done on a bob. It's great for toning. It's great for long hair It's great for short hair. There's so many different Ways that you can use this technique, but today what I want to share with you guys is how to color a bob So formula number one that we're gonna be using today is 6nwb and 7cc equal parts 10 volume Then our mid-level formula is gonna be an 8nc and 8nwb what I'm basically doing there The 8nc has a little bit of a brown base to it, but what I wanted to do is add a little extra brown I don't want it to be super copper rich, but I did want to have that warmth in it So that's why I chose to put those two tones together and our third formula today is gonna be a 9nw Which is a natural warm beige tone and then I added a little like toothpaste sliver of 8nc into that just to give a little hue a copper to it But I want to keep it a nice light level 9. Okay, so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna break down the sectioning Basically, what I did was I want to start the top formula number 3 is gonna go in that paw shape That's on top of the head It's got some triangles based off of it Then you've got formula number 2 in those diamond shapes and then you've got formula number 1 They kind of wraps the depth around the head So that's gonna be in the back and in the sides and in the front to bring depth into the hair color So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start with formula number 1 I'm gonna start painting that right around that crown area and I'm gonna fully saturate the back of the head Just working that color in my goal with this whole technique and what block coloring really is it brings life in movement depth contrast all that stuff to hair color so a lot of times in the salon What we do is when we go to tone something we tone it with one overall color trying to neutralize things So what I want it to push you guys to do is to look at toning a little bit different start adding in these block coloring Techniques to actually add a more natural feel more natural effect to the hair color So think about this naturally hair Underneath would be a little bit deeper a little bit darker than it would be throughout the top because naturally the sun Is gonna hit the hair from the outside in So this formula kind of mimics that depth that richness that's happening and then in that formula two section Which we're gonna get into in a little bit that formula two That's gonna start to brighten it up and create a little bit of separation between the depths and the light So what I'm doing is just fully saturating the hair key thing here is to make sure that you work that color back and forth Work it in my choice of this color today is Joico Lumishine. I love the cream Consistency of the color. This is their permanent hair color line. I'm working it on previously lightened hair So understand that this color technique we pre lightened this Mannequin head it was a level six. I had Carly go in there She did this whole blonding technique brought it up to this level I didn't need it to be a platinum blonde or anything like that because we were going in with these copper tones so I try to lift it to a level seven eight solid and then what I'm doing is I'm dropping it down to about a level six and a Half on my deepest tone right here on the on the section number one and then throughout two and Three we're using a level eight and a level nine So if that makes sense what we're doing is we're trying to stay in the level family one level lower one level lighter But also changing up the tones a little bit keeping that brightness on the top depth on the bottom So now we're going into a section number two. This is formula number two and we're just painting that through There's a couple diamond sections pretty simple. I know a couple questions that are gonna come up are Volume choices. So because I'm just depositing in this hair color right now I'm using 10 volume all the way through so on every single level if I was going to lift the hair Then I would obviously go up in level maybe 30 volume Maybe even 40 volume depending on what my end result Or the end result that I was looking to achieve So the other question was how much of each color did you mix? I mixed about two ounces for the bottom and then I did an ounce for the diamonds the number two sections And then for number three I did about another ounce and a half total of hair color So you could probably simplify that bring that those numbers down a little bit Try mixing less definitely in the salon I would encourage you to mix less than you need because you can always mix more But you can't put it back once you've used it and that's just wasting money So make sure that every time you you make your applications set a pretty big standard that goes with your pricing And then mix more if you need it and then charge more if you mix more And that should help you with those product costs moving forward So now we're going into section number three just painting it through this is that 9nw with a dash of the 8nc Not trying to bring down the level nine just trying to add a little bit of that copper tone to it And then you're gonna be able to see this beautiful end result how these colors melt together and It's just a super cool technique now understand that you could do this technique like I said on any length of hair Just adding these shapes in creating depth of movement What I would really encourage you guys to do is just tag me on at free salon education on Instagram Try out different shapes on the head Things that would work for your cut for your colors You don't have to mimic you don't have to do the paw shape the diamonds all of that Be creative have fun with it enjoy the technique and I can't wait to see your work Make sure again tag me at free salon education on Instagram Here is our end result. You can see the depth in there that medium tone right there and then the brightness That's sitting on top now We process this for a total of 30 minutes and then blew a dry and then of course I had to stamp in a really fun fringe to go with the cut. So here is the end result guys I hope you guys like it. You can see that depth underneath that blonde beautiful blonde Tone sitting on top so many possibilities with this technique guys Don't just stay in the box do something different share it with me on Instagram And make sure that you join me every day at 12 p.m. Eastern standard time for live interactive classes right here on YouTube.
