LIGHTENING the hair 

like most artificial colors, the pink from our original drip dye has stained ally’s hair. it’s typical of these colors to fade up to this point before ‘staining’ the hair. to remove it, i have to lighten the hair. i’m going to take care of this hair color stain as i create her highlights and lowlights. 

i’m starting by sectioning. it’s super important to SECTION the hair when lightening. it helps you stay organized and keeps your foiling process efficient.

the fringe

i’ll begin the lightening process in ally’s fringe. since ally parts her hair to the side, i’m angling the foils in the opposite direction. this will make sure the color is diffused. to add to the natural look, i’m alternating sections by:

the rest of the head

for the rest of the head, i’ve mixed three formulas. 

in the side sections, i’m using SLICES angled forward. i’m doing 2 blonde slices, followed by 2 slices of low light. i’m not leaving a lot of space in between my foils.

in the nape, i like to angle my foils downward. a good technique to keep foils clean is folding them twice to keep the hair consolidated. 

on the crown area, i’ve chosen to start at the bottom and continuing my process.

after hard labor, her blonde foils are complete! now for a few more...

correcting the HAIR COLOR STAIN

i’m going to apply the gentle j beverly hills creme lightener to the stained hair. put foils down to prevent staining and CLIP THE HAIR! you want the foils to remain undisturbed and clean.

with ALL of the lighteners and colors applied, i’m ready to wash her out. 

with the lightener and color washed out, i’m toning her with the matrix color sync 8P and 10P.

and she’s complete! this beautiful ashey beige color is the next step in ally’s hair evolution. thank you so much for joining us! if you have any questions (or video requests) as us @nvennhairbeauty
