    hairspray and it'll get to the cortex of

  • 00:02:53
    hair please don't try and color your
  • 00:02:56
    hair with a bunch of tangles in it get
  • 00:02:58
    all those tangles out before going in
  • 00:03:00
    with that color or else you're gonna
  • 00:03:01
    have weird spotting from the tangles um
  • 00:03:04
    if your hair is like matted or anything
  • 00:03:06
    in the back you're going to end up
  • 00:03:07
    coloring those matted pieces and then
  • 00:03:09
    you're going to get all spotting
  • 00:03:09
    everywhere it's not good brush your damn
  • 00:03:12
    heads you're going to also want to
  • 00:03:13
    separate your hair into four sections
  • 00:03:15
    here i'll show you on miss mannycoin
  • 00:03:17
    just how you do that this is a super
  • 00:03:19
    basic sectioning method that every
  • 00:03:21
    hairstylist uses on the daily super easy
  • 00:03:24
    part your hair in the middle all the way
  • 00:03:26
    back down to the nape of your neck
  • 00:03:27
    that's your first section those are your
  • 00:03:29
    two and then go to the apex you can find
  • 00:03:32
    the apex by laying the comb on your head
  • 00:03:34
    and finding the highest point of your
  • 00:03:36
    head that is what you call the apex then
  • 00:03:38
    make a section from the apex to behind
  • 00:03:41
    the ears and those are your four
  • 00:03:43
    sections there it is voila you're gonna
  • 00:03:45
    want to make sure your hair is dry don't
  • 00:03:48
    apply color on wet hair unless you're
  • 00:03:50
    trying to do like a bleach bath but
  • 00:03:52
    that's another advanced thing okay we
  • 00:03:54
    don't need to know about that today
  • 00:03:55
    apply color to dry hair please don't put
  • 00:03:57
    bleach on wet hair it doesn't really
  • 00:03:59
    make any sense it's just going to dilute
  • 00:04:01
    your formula there's really no point all
  • 00:04:03
    right make sure your hair is dry i also
  • 00:04:04
    see a lot of people soaking their hair
  • 00:04:06
    in excessive amounts of say coconut oil
  • 00:04:09
    there's really no point of soaking your
  • 00:04:11
    hair in coconut oil the bleach is just
  • 00:04:13
    gonna eat through it all and it's not
  • 00:04:14
    gonna matter that you have that oil on
  • 00:04:16
    your hair strands it's not get rid of
  • 00:04:18
    the oil it's not necessary it just makes
  • 00:04:19
    a mess and your hair just feels nasty
  • 00:04:21
    and like really gross and greasy after
  • 00:04:23
    you're welcome all right let's move on
  • 00:04:25
    to category two how to mix mixing your
  • 00:04:29
    bleach or your color you gotta do that
  • 00:04:31
    properly all right this is a big big
  • 00:04:34
    factor guess what you guys different
  • 00:04:36
    developers actually do different things
  • 00:04:39
    it's not a one-size-fits-all i know a
  • 00:04:41
    lot of people think that there's 10 20
  • 00:04:44
    30 and 40 volume for literally no reason
  • 00:04:46
    and they just kind of take their guess
  • 00:04:47
    on what they should use but actually
  • 00:04:50
    there is a method to the madness i
  • 00:04:52
    promise so let me just go over the very
  • 00:04:54
    very basics of what each different
  • 00:04:57
    developer does differently so we're
  • 00:04:59
    going to talk mostly today about two
  • 00:05:01
    different categories you can either be
  • 00:05:02
    doing a permanent color which is not
  • 00:05:05
    bleach and bleach is bleach right so
  • 00:05:07
    anything that doesn't have that white
  • 00:05:09
    powder involved that's just color that's
  • 00:05:11
    permanent color with the white powder
  • 00:05:14
    that's bleach and then we'll also talk
  • 00:05:16
    about toners later but just for now just
  • 00:05:18
    know the differences between color and
  • 00:05:21
    bleach let's go over color first so if
  • 00:05:24
    you're coloring your hair that means
  • 00:05:25
    you're not using any of that white
  • 00:05:26
    powder stuff you have an option to use
  • 00:05:28
    10 20 30 or 40 volume if you're using 10
  • 00:05:31
    volume you're probably somebody who has
  • 00:05:34
    any hair color and they're trying to go
  • 00:05:35
    darker because when you're using 10
  • 00:05:37
    volume you're not going to get any
  • 00:05:39
    lightning effects so it's just going to
  • 00:05:41
    deposit tone onto your hair permanently
  • 00:05:43
    but it's not going to cover any grays
  • 00:05:45
    now if you have grays and you have any
  • 00:05:47
    hair color and you're trying to go
  • 00:05:49
    darker and you're trying to also cover
  • 00:05:51
    your grays you're going to use 20 volume
  • 00:05:53
    it lifts it gets into the cortex of
  • 00:05:55
    those grays and actually changes the
  • 00:05:57
    color of your gray hair and all of your
  • 00:05:59
    hair on your head and it lays there
  • 00:06:00
    permanently so 20 volume is great for
  • 00:06:02
    you now 30 and 40 volume with permanent
  • 00:06:05
    color not bleach is typically used for
  • 00:06:08
    high lift color which means maybe you
  • 00:06:11
    are a natural this is important if you
  • 00:06:14
    have color on your hair you cannot lift
  • 00:06:17
    your hair color with more color so that
  • 00:06:19
    means if you have a dark brown hair and
  • 00:06:22
    it's box side like that you can't then
  • 00:06:24
    use a blonde box dye to lighten your
  • 00:06:27
    hair you must use bleach just want to
  • 00:06:30
    get that very clear you must use bleach
  • 00:06:32
    to get your hair lighter if it's already
  • 00:06:34
    colored but if your hair is natural if
  • 00:06:36
    it is naturally brown and you've never
  • 00:06:39
    colored it you can use a blonde dye to
  • 00:06:43
    make your hair blonde now it might come
  • 00:06:45
    out a little bit orange you can also use
  • 00:06:46
    bleach but you can also use a high lift
  • 00:06:49
    color which is a color that lifts many
  • 00:06:51
    levels so you're going to want to use a
  • 00:06:52
    30 or 40 volume with that in order to
  • 00:06:55
    get maximum lift with your blonde color
  • 00:06:58
    another thing that i would use 30 or 40
  • 00:07:00
    volume for is reds you can use 30 volume
  • 00:07:04
    if you're trying to get that very maxed
  • 00:07:05
    out like bright bright red or 40 volume
  • 00:07:08
    if you really want to push it to the max
  • 00:07:10
    max max and get like fuchsia going on in
  • 00:07:12
    your head you can do that with permanent
  • 00:07:14
    color without bleach if your hair has
  • 00:07:16
    never been colored before now for those
  • 00:07:19
    of you who are going to use bleach so
  • 00:07:21
    people who have already colored hair
  • 00:07:22
    want to go lighter or people who have
  • 00:07:24
    never colored their hair before and want
  • 00:07:26
    to get that max max right platinum
  • 00:07:29
    blonde you're gonna want to use lightner
  • 00:07:31
    aka bleach that powder white stuff that
  • 00:07:34
    you mix with developer okay now we don't
  • 00:07:36
    use 10 volume with bleach because it has
  • 00:07:38
    no lifting capabilities again 10 volume
  • 00:07:41
    just deposits and doesn't lift when i
  • 00:07:43
    say lift i mean like the hair cuticle
  • 00:07:45
    doesn't actually open that's what's
  • 00:07:47
    lifting and then the color molecules
  • 00:07:49
    actually go inside pen volume it doesn't
  • 00:07:51
    do that it lays pretty much on top
  • 00:07:53
    slightly inside now 20 volume is for
  • 00:07:56
    those of you looking for about one to
  • 00:07:58
    two levels of lift if you're
  • 00:07:59
    highlighting your hair this is often a
  • 00:08:01
    great developer to use for highlights
  • 00:08:03
    otherwise 30 volume is pretty much my
  • 00:08:06
    standard i pretty much use 30 volume on
  • 00:08:08
    everybody and any lightning scenario
  • 00:08:11
    it's pretty much my go-to and i highly
  • 00:08:13
    recommend if you're going to lighten
  • 00:08:14
    your hair at any capacity use a 30
  • 00:08:16
    volume unless your hair is already like
  • 00:08:18
    pretty light and you're only trying to
  • 00:08:19
    go a little bit lighter 20 volume will
  • 00:08:21
    work just fine now 40 volume i just say
  • 00:08:25
    don't i don't i don't feel like it does
  • 00:08:26
    that much more than 30 volume to be
  • 00:08:28
    honest with you i feel like it lightens
  • 00:08:29
    very fast and then dies out very fast so
  • 00:08:32
    i don't really recommend it to anybody i
  • 00:08:34
    don't ever use it for pretty much
  • 00:08:35
    anything i'm not a huge fan of 40 volume
  • 00:08:38
    and if you're using 40 volume on your
  • 00:08:39
    scalp it's probably gonna burn a lot and
  • 00:08:41
    i would not recommend it you actually
  • 00:08:43
    shouldn't really be using 30 volume on
  • 00:08:45
    your scalp either but i never really
  • 00:08:47
    found any problem with it and it's
  • 00:08:48
    always been fine so 30 volume is pretty
  • 00:08:50
    much the standard i highly recommend
  • 00:08:52
    that with lightner if you're trying to
  • 00:08:54
    lighten your hair especially those of
  • 00:08:55
    you with virgin hair who are trying to
  • 00:08:57
    lighten your hair for the first time 30
  • 00:08:58
    volume will work great and if you're
  • 00:09:00
    asking well brad what kind of bleach
  • 00:09:02
    should i be using i mean it's all quite
  • 00:09:04
    similar look for a nice one wherever
  • 00:09:06
    you're shopping or online i don't know
  • 00:09:08
    wherever you can get lightner at this
  • 00:09:10
    point i'm sure it'll be fine i haven't
  • 00:09:12
    found a gigantic difference between the
  • 00:09:14
    different lighteners i've used over the
  • 00:09:16
    past if you have the right technique you
  • 00:09:17
    can use any kind of lightener and you'll
  • 00:09:20
    get a great result and also one last
  • 00:09:22
    thing please read the directions every
  • 00:09:26
    lightener has a different mixing ratio
  • 00:09:28
    they're very similar across the board
  • 00:09:30
    but please mix your lightener correctly
  • 00:09:33
    to what the directions say it is
  • 00:09:35
    important to mix correctly that way you
  • 00:09:38
    get the maximum results from the
  • 00:09:40
    lightener you're using let's go over our
  • 00:09:43
    next category which is where to start
  • 00:09:45
    with mixer color we prepared our at-home
  • 00:09:48
    salon and our hair and now we're ready
  • 00:09:51
    to actually apply the color so let's go
  • 00:09:53
    over a permanent color first this is the
  • 00:09:55
    stuff that's not bleached if you have
  • 00:09:56
    virgin hair and you're trying to do an
  • 00:09:57
    all-over color please start at the mid
  • 00:10:00
    sections and ends and then later after
  • 00:10:04
    you're done with that apply the root
  • 00:10:06
    color because you have heat from your
  • 00:10:10
    scalp i see this all the time you will
  • 00:10:13
    get what's called hot roots which is
  • 00:10:15
    when your root area develops more than
  • 00:10:17
    your mids and ends and you end up with a
  • 00:10:20
    sort of orangey warm color up there
  • 00:10:22
    because of the heat from your scalp so
  • 00:10:24
    please if you don't want orange roots
  • 00:10:26
    don't start with your roots so it's very
  • 00:10:29
    similar with lightener don't start your
  • 00:10:30
    roots if you have virgin hair please
  • 00:10:32
    don't or else your roots will end up
  • 00:10:33
    white and your ends will end up like a
  • 00:10:35
    yellow orange i would recommend probably
  • 00:10:37
    just doing the mid lengths and ends
  • 00:10:40
    first and then wait about 10 to 15
  • 00:10:42
    minutes until your hair has started to
  • 00:10:44
    develop and your hair has started to
  • 00:10:45
    lighten and then go and hit your roots
  • 00:10:47
    with the lightener at the end if you
  • 00:10:49
    have pre-existing color and this is not
  • 00:10:51
    your first time coloring your hair say
  • 00:10:53
    you have very dark boxed eye color on
  • 00:10:55
    your hair or just any dark color start
  • 00:10:57
    off with the parts that are the darkest
  • 00:10:59
    so if you have spots all around start
  • 00:11:01
    off in those spots that are the darkest
  • 00:11:02
    then move your way up still don't do
  • 00:11:05
    your roots first unless you're doing
  • 00:11:07
    like a retouch on existing hair don't
  • 00:11:09
    starting your roots next we have
  • 00:11:11
    application method this is where your
  • 00:11:13
    work either turns into a masterpiece or
  • 00:11:16
    a disaster this is actually one of the
  • 00:11:17
    most important parts if not the most
  • 00:11:19
    important part now listen i understand
  • 00:11:21
    that none of you are going to use a
  • 00:11:22
    brush probably none of you which is fine
  • 00:11:24
    honestly it's fine as long as you're
  • 00:11:26
    using these things correctly you'll be
  • 00:11:29
    fine i swear you'll be all good to go
  • 00:11:32
    first of all make sure you have gloves
  • 00:11:34
    on it's really not good for your hands
  • 00:11:36
    to put color all over them for real
  • 00:11:38
    it'll dry them out forever permanent
  • 00:11:39
    color is pretty simple mix it up put it
  • 00:11:41
    on your head you can comb or brush it
  • 00:11:43
    through i highly recommend that as you
  • 00:11:45
    work through comb it make sure every
  • 00:11:48
    single hair strand is applied to and now
  • 00:11:51
    with bleach i'm gonna show you on miss
  • 00:11:53
    manny quinn how much bleach you should
  • 00:11:56
    be using okay i see this happen all the
  • 00:11:58
    time where people do not use enough
  • 00:12:01
    lightener on their heads ninety percent
  • 00:12:03
    of the time nobody uses enough you need
  • 00:12:05
    a lot of lightener in order to get the
  • 00:12:08
    maximum results possible and less
  • 00:12:10
    lightener doesn't mean that your hair is
  • 00:12:12
    going to
  • 00:12:13
    lighten less it just means that you're
  • 00:12:15
    probably get spotting all over your hair
  • 00:12:17
    if you don't want as much lightning
  • 00:12:18
    power maybe you drop down the developer
  • 00:12:20
    or maybe don't let it sit on your hair
  • 00:12:22
    as long if you don't want your hair to
  • 00:12:23
    lighten as much don't go and put less
  • 00:12:25
    lighter that doesn't make any sense now
  • 00:12:26
    as shown here on miss manny quinn my
  • 00:12:30
    amazing client today we are gonna apply
  • 00:12:33
    that lightener we're gonna start in the
  • 00:12:35
    back if you're using permanent color or
  • 00:12:38
    bleach start in the back it doesn't
  • 00:12:39
    matter what you're using we're going to
  • 00:12:41
    want to do those first back two
  • 00:12:43
    quadrants first start at the bottom and
  • 00:12:45
    work your way up that way all the color
  • 00:12:47
    lays on top of itself as you work up and
  • 00:12:50
    it doesn't become a total mess now this
  • 00:12:52
    is how much lightner you should be using
  • 00:12:54
    really coat it you can use your hands as
  • 00:12:57
    i'm doing here really get it in there
  • 00:12:59
    move the hair around in your palms
  • 00:13:01
    really get it in and avoid that root
  • 00:13:03
    area at all costs until you can go back
  • 00:13:06
    around and do it all
  • 00:13:07
    after and then once you're done with the
  • 00:13:09
    entire back section you can work on the
  • 00:13:11
    front section so once you're done
  • 00:13:12
    applying the color on the entire head
  • 00:13:14
    set your timer for however long you're
  • 00:13:16
    supposed to set it for now for bleach i
  • 00:13:18
    definitely recommend putting a bag over
  • 00:13:20
    your hair spray a little water inside of
  • 00:13:22
    it put it on your head and tie it really
  • 00:13:24
    tight that way the water kind of gets a
  • 00:13:25
    little bit steamy inside the bag you
  • 00:13:27
    just don't want the lightener to dry out
  • 00:13:30
    okay doesn't like dryness it likes
  • 00:13:32
    moistness so make sure it's always moist
  • 00:13:34
    another thing that i see a lot people
  • 00:13:36
    try to lather the bleach like shampoo
  • 00:13:39
    bleach does not lather let me make that
  • 00:13:41
    very clear bleach doesn't lather so stop
  • 00:13:44
    trying to make that happen it's never
  • 00:13:45
    gonna happen and also don't comb or
  • 00:13:47
    brush through bleach your hair is in a
  • 00:13:50
    very fragile state right now that
  • 00:13:52
    tension is gonna be very bad and
  • 00:13:54
    detrimental to the health of your hair
  • 00:13:56
    don't do that so let's go over how long
  • 00:13:58
    to leave the color on for for a
  • 00:13:59
    permanent color you can leave on for
  • 00:14:01
    whatever the directions say every
  • 00:14:02
    manufacturer has a different time frame
  • 00:14:05
    you leave the color on for it's usually
  • 00:14:06
    30 or 35 minutes and for bleach it's
  • 00:14:08
    much more complicated it's gonna vary
  • 00:14:09
    person-to-person if you have virgin hair
  • 00:14:11
    though and you're trying to go really
  • 00:14:12
    light leave on 45 to an hour okay
  • 00:14:15
    nothing beyond an hour is gonna do
  • 00:14:16
    anything else because the bleach ends up
  • 00:14:18
    drying out after an hour basically don't
  • 00:14:20
    leave it on for more than an hour
  • 00:14:21
    nothing's gonna happen nothing i promise
  • 00:14:23
    if you're trying to get platinum blonde
  • 00:14:24
    hair leave it on your hair until it's
  • 00:14:26
    kind of like white looking because
  • 00:14:28
    usually once you rinse the lightener off
  • 00:14:31
    and that kind of white cast comes off it
  • 00:14:33
    ends up looking a lot more orange and
  • 00:14:35
    yellowish when you rinse it off so pale
  • 00:14:37
    yellow is what we're going for in order
  • 00:14:39
    to get that very platinum blonde look
  • 00:14:40
    and you can also wash out the back
  • 00:14:42
    before the front because we started in
  • 00:14:44
    the back we can wash that out so that it
  • 00:14:46
    doesn't over process and the front and
  • 00:14:48
    back end up as the same color so once
  • 00:14:50
    your timer is up maybe wash out the back
  • 00:14:52
    first wait another 10 minutes and then
  • 00:14:54
    rinse out the front and just overall
  • 00:14:56
    make sure you monitor this process keep
  • 00:14:59
    it close eye on your hair make sure
  • 00:15:01
    nothing's falling out if you're worried
  • 00:15:02
    about anything falling out take a piece
  • 00:15:03
    in the back kind of stretch it out a
  • 00:15:05
    little bit pull on it if it's not
  • 00:15:07
    breaking or not stretching a ridiculous
  • 00:15:09
    amount your hair is probably fine and
  • 00:15:11
    you can leave it on a little bit longer
  • 00:15:13
    and next we have cleansing and this is a
  • 00:15:15
    whole category i see a lot of things
  • 00:15:17
    gone wrong in the cleansing category and
  • 00:15:19
    these videos i've seen one use lukewarm
  • 00:15:22
    water okay don't use cold water to rinse
  • 00:15:25
    off lightener i know it's tempting it
  • 00:15:27
    feels kind of good because your head's
  • 00:15:28
    very hot but you don't want to do that
  • 00:15:30
    because what's going to happen is it's
  • 00:15:31
    going to shock your hair your hair was
  • 00:15:33
    just expanded really wide in order to
  • 00:15:35
    get all that artificial pigment out of
  • 00:15:37
    your hair or natural pigment out of your
  • 00:15:39
    hair when you shock it back it can cause
  • 00:15:41
    breakage so make sure you rinse your
  • 00:15:43
    hair with lukewarm water nothing too hot
  • 00:15:45
    nothing too cold just right in the
  • 00:15:46
    middle okay do not scrub your scalp it's
  • 00:15:48
    very fragile the skin was just basically
  • 00:15:51
    ripped off of it be gentle yeah thorough
  • 00:15:54
    don't use your nails use just like this
  • 00:15:56
    just the tops of your fingers okay be
  • 00:15:58
    gentle be loving to your scalp it's
  • 00:16:00
    doing a lot for you right now and just
  • 00:16:02
    say thank you to it by just giving a
  • 00:16:04
    little massage and most of the time it
  • 00:16:06
    takes about two washes to get all the
  • 00:16:08
    lightener out of your hair if you're
  • 00:16:09
    using a lot of it um sometimes your hair
  • 00:16:11
    can be left that gritty feeling that's
  • 00:16:12
    just because you didn't wash all the
  • 00:16:13
    lightener out so wash it at least twice
  • 00:16:16
    condition it very nicely maybe do a
  • 00:16:17
    little hair mask show it a little love
  • 00:16:19
    you'll be all good up next evaluate the
  • 00:16:21
    situation can your hair handle more
  • 00:16:23
    bleach if it needs to be bleached again
  • 00:16:24
    is it stringy is it falling out is your
  • 00:16:26
    hair white white does it look like it
  • 00:16:28
    can handle more lightener the answer is
  • 00:16:30
    no then don't do it if the answer is yes
  • 00:16:32
    then do it okay it'll be fine and now is
  • 00:16:34
    when you proceed with another round of
  • 00:16:35
    lightner if you need to and now those
  • 00:16:37
    that are doing permanent color and not
  • 00:16:39
    using bleach you'll want to stop here
  • 00:16:41
    you're at the end of your journey
  • 00:16:43
    congratulations you've colored your hair
  • 00:16:44
    properly people that are bleaching
  • 00:16:46
    there's more stuff to it okay it's a
  • 00:16:48
    long process so next up we have toner
  • 00:16:53
    toner
  • 00:16:54
    is a tricky situation for a lot of you
  • 00:16:57
    have noticed a lot of you are using
  • 00:16:59
    permanent color as a toner now that's
  • 00:17:01
    not a toner okay see permanent color
  • 00:17:03
    like we went over before lifts and
  • 00:17:05
    deposits it goes into the cortex of your
  • 00:17:07
    hair toner lays on top you don't want to
  • 00:17:09
    use permanent color when you're toning
  • 00:17:11
    your hair again it's a very confusing
  • 00:17:12
    thing to go over we're going over the
  • 00:17:13
    basics today just listen to me don't try
  • 00:17:15
    to fight it okay just use a toner not a
  • 00:17:17
    permanent color don't use box dye to
  • 00:17:19
    tone your hair okay don't go grab the
  • 00:17:20
    icy blonde box dye and put it over your
  • 00:17:22
    already blonde hair there's so much
  • 00:17:24
    ammonia there's so much lifting in that
  • 00:17:27
    box you don't need any lift at this
  • 00:17:28
    point you've already lifted your hair to
  • 00:17:30
    what it needs to be it's like pale
  • 00:17:32
    yellow right now you don't need to then
  • 00:17:34
    lift it further you're just gonna create
  • 00:17:36
    so much damage for no reason toner lays
  • 00:17:38
    on top of the hair cuticle it's often
  • 00:17:40
    mixed with anything below a 10 volume
  • 00:17:42
    developer typically there is a toning
  • 00:17:44
    developer that goes with the toners okay
  • 00:17:47
    so look out for that t18 is not a toner
  • 00:17:49
    it's a permanent color okay don't be
  • 00:17:51
    using 20 volume with t18 in order to
  • 00:17:53
    tone your blonde hair no it's not good
  • 00:17:55
    use a level 10 toner maybe an ash
  • 00:17:59
    neutral one combined with a toning
  • 00:18:01
    developer in order to tone your hair
  • 00:18:03
    this will leave your hair feeling
  • 00:18:04
    amazingly healthy it won't cause any
  • 00:18:06
    damage it'll actually help some of that
  • 00:18:08
    damage feel better and that's why we use
  • 00:18:10
    a toner and not a permanent color when
  • 00:18:11
    you're toning your hair opt for
  • 00:18:13
    something that is at the same level as
  • 00:18:15
    what your hair is right now or for
  • 00:18:17
    something darker okay you can't go
  • 00:18:19
    lighter with a toner you can only go
  • 00:18:21
    darker or at the same level so these are
  • 00:18:23
    the levels right here the basics of it
  • 00:18:25
    all level one to ten one being the
  • 00:18:27
    darkest ten being the lightest see what
  • 00:18:29
    you are and then when you know what your
  • 00:18:31
    level is say you're level eight right
  • 00:18:32
    now and you're trying to be more ash
  • 00:18:34
    toned okay so you know you wanna go with
  • 00:18:36
    level eight then you about your color
  • 00:18:38
    wheel okay it's not that complicated i
  • 00:18:40
    swear just listen i know this sounds
  • 00:18:42
    scary grab your color wheel if your hair
  • 00:18:44
    is kind of looking a little uh orange
  • 00:18:46
    you know go from that orange across the
  • 00:18:48
    other side and you'll see across some
  • 00:18:50
    orange is blue you're gonna want a blue
  • 00:18:53
    based toner at a level eight in order to
  • 00:18:56
    cancel out that orange you're seeing so
  • 00:18:58
    you can use something like an 8na in
  • 00:18:59
    order to cancel out that orange and get
  • 00:19:01
    a beautiful level 8 tone that looks sort
  • 00:19:04
    of natural and almost long quality
  • 00:19:06
    purple shampoo is not a toner purple
  • 00:19:08
    shampoo is to keep up with what you've
  • 00:19:10
    done at the salon or at home it's not a
  • 00:19:12
    toner don't use it to tone your hair
  • 00:19:14
    it's not gonna work well you're gonna
  • 00:19:15
    get spotting everywhere that's not what
  • 00:19:17
    it's for and make sure you're leaving
  • 00:19:18
    the toner on for the recommended amount
  • 00:19:20
    of time and not longer and not shorter
  • 00:19:21
    so using a level 10 toner on a level 8
  • 00:19:25
    head of hair see this is level 10 this
  • 00:19:27
    is level 8. it's not gonna work because
  • 00:19:29
    there is no lifting agents there's
  • 00:19:31
    nothing that's going to get your hair
  • 00:19:32
    higher there's nothing that's going to
  • 00:19:33
    make your hair lighter toner doesn't
  • 00:19:35
    make your hair lighter it just brings
  • 00:19:37
    you to the right tone of that lightness
  • 00:19:39
    that you have achieved with bleach
  • 00:19:42
    consider doing a root and end glaze you
  • 00:19:44
    can look up pictures of that this is
  • 00:19:46
    basically what it is it's when you do a
  • 00:19:47
    darker toner on the top and a lighter
  • 00:19:49
    one on the bottom hair naturally has
  • 00:19:51
    darker tones at the top and lighter
  • 00:19:53
    tones at the bottom typically we often
  • 00:19:54
    do that in the salon to make a bit of a
  • 00:19:56
    more natural look or to make a little
  • 00:19:57
    root shadow so you can use like a level
  • 00:19:59
    eight on the root and a level ten on the
  • 00:20:01
    ends and blend it all together it'll
  • 00:20:02
    look amazing but that is definitely more
  • 00:20:04
    of an advanced skill try it might not
  • 00:20:06
    come out that good but don't blame me
