Babylight Tutorial with a Shadow Root on Blonde Hair (Easy Technique!)

Hello what's going on? Welcome to my channel. In today's video we're going to do a full baby height light with a broom

shadow

and we're going to take my super super platinum

blonde

model so stay tuned. What's up guys, welcome to this video? I am very excited to be doing this transformation today. My model's

hair

has grown. It hasn't been styled in a while, so we'll brighten it up by adding a beautiful money piece, but I'll share it with you. Guys, my complete highlighting, stick and baby light

technique

and some of my favorite toners for

blonde

s, including how I do my

shadow

root

s and one of my favorite formulas for a shadow

root

, so let's get started and I want to show you first.

Okay, so this is it. our models before, you can definitely tell it's got some blonde in there but a lot of depth, especially here in this back section, it's been about six months and she got it dyed and it was like a balayage back then, so let's highlight it. a ton and neither of us can even see that it still has some of these kind of warm tones, just residual, you know how

hair

gets brassy and dull over time just from hard water and stuff, so let's illuminate it. I'm going to do a fun little root shadow with a hint of blonde around your face and I'm so excited to share with you this

technique

of how to transform someone who is a little bit darker into a beautiful, bright blonde, so to she.

I'm going to start with 15 volumes, you can see she's very light naturally and we're going to do a cool baby light and since I'm doing baby lights and since I'm doing a full one, I'm going to start very low and I'm also going to add olaplex which of Somehow I will take some of the strength out of it. We don't need to go crazy again. She has very thick hair, but it is very light naturally and will stay put. for a while so I prefer to be more conservative by starting with 15 volumes so to section for a full

babylight

I am NOT a person who likes to section each section and make everything perfect so I personally just take the top. section right above the ears and trim this out and really separate the top and the front from the back and then I'll go ahead and start from there, but honestly, I don't really like it, I said super crazy section, so I'm going to start from here , we're going to work around the hairline, first we're going to do a little bit of a diagonal back and then we're going to start working it right, so one of the things that I really like when it comes to baby lights.

I like it when my clients can pull her hair back and have a beautiful combination. Now we're going to do a light baby shadow root owner, but we still want to make sure that he has some shimmer here, so I'm going to take my First section and this is going to be a light little guy. I want to make sure that I'm getting all of these little baby hairs in, so we're going to remove this clip and this will be my first section that you guys can. Look, it's very thin, it's not very thick and I'm just going to leave a little bit of hair out and for this type of section I personally like just the regular oils and I feel like they stay in place really well, you know I use the frame .

It rolls up a lot, these are just normal hair foils. I personally think they fit a little tighter for me and the technique I use, but that's just me personally, so for this sheet now it can be a little uncomfortable, especially when clients like not to. They don't move their head or whatever, this can be a little uncomfortable, so if this role is a little uncomfortable for you, that's okay, it's uncomfortable for me too, so keep practicing it, especially if you don't do a lot of full highlights. or things like that, honestly, just keep practicing this little area and you'll get a lot better at it, so I'm going to fold this aluminum foil into thirds just to help lock it in place a little tighter and get those ends into their places.

I'm going to lock this guy right in the corner here and I'm going to keep moving up in this section here so you can see what I'm going to take and he's here, she's got some baby hairs and stuff, so I want to make sure to capture them there and sometimes it can also help if you ask your client to just turn their head a little bit and look down, that can sometimes help, it just depends on how you work and what they are comfortable with. for your clients for me, I don't like my clients to do too many crazy things with their neck because I know it can't be uncomfortable and if you realize, this is your time to relax, and this is like the first part of the service, so that you want to make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed, but for these few foils, that can be a little uncomfortable and then it's totally fine to move your head and adjust them and just let them know.

Hey, I'm just going to do it for these first two foils, so I'm going to put it in there and you guys can see that it's got a lot of depth here, it doesn't seem like it really has much lightness to it, so I'm going all the way through now again, this is only 15 volumes. , so they're going to stay there for a while and these aren't dinner sections, so we don't have to go over it with 20 or something. It's not necessary that this is going to be perfect and clear up beautifully, so now I'm just going to fold it in half, then fold it in half again and continue with this for maybe a couple more sheets to get it completely. up to here where I'm halfway up their neck, right here some clients I'm going to have to do a straight foil, it totally depends on their hairline, but I'm going to keep working my way up and then we'll do the same thing on the other side, like this so I went and did it, let's look at about four sheets around the hairline, you can see now.

I got to this kind of V section in the back and ended up covering the entire hairline down. here at the bottom, like I said, for some clients who have a very wide hairline or a very wide nape, you're going to have to make a straight line like a little baby light there at the bottom again, it's all going to depend on the client. she didn't need that so what we're going to do is now take this little triangle piece baby and I know some of you might think you're really going to foil that little triangle yeah I am so I'm going to take this piece of football triangle and this will be our straight foil so you can see I'm weaving it in deeply leaving this little bit out and I know this may look a little excessive in the details. intricate because it's down here, really anyone will be able to see that I don't want it to have a big dark spot down there, so I take the time to put these little sheets and you'll see it when we go to the front, those little kids make a difference and such Maybe I don't have to do them every time, but she doesn't have any lightness down here, so I have to put those types of sheets down here. so she gets that shine around her hairline so now I'm going to move on to the next section and you guys can see this is a little bit thicker but I'm still going to continue doing baby highlights so the difference between a Las baby lights are definitely thinner, you can totally see through them, compared to baby lights, the lights will be a little thicker for me.

I never liked full, full lights. I would always do something that was a little thinner. a highlight anyway, so I would always call them hybrid lights. I totally made it up at this point, but something like that, where they're not as thick, would be almost like a hybrid light, but because it has so much depth. Here at the bottom we need to get a little bit more brightness compared to just the baby lights, so again you'll find out what works for you and how thick the baby lights are. Baby lights are traditionally a little bit thinner than a High light is definitely something that you can still see transparent when you look at the foil, so I'm going to continue going up his head until I get to where I started this section, so I'll just end it. up to the top we're going to continue with this and when we get here I'll tell you what we're doing right, this is how it worked up to here and you'll notice that I have some hair. call these almost alleys, obviously you're not going to be able to get that on this middle sheet, so I always make sure that I don't direct this hair too much towards this sheet because otherwise you'll get a stain that's not quite mixed well, so I I make sure to stay pretty much on my lines if that means you need to split this section and trim it however works best for you.

I just know that I can do that and I know how wide my blades are so not directing too much, that's something that works for me, so now that I've gotten there, what I'm actually going to do is let down the rest of her hair and I'm going to find the place on your head that's like on the top of your head and I'm going to divide this little area over and over again. If you watch my other foiling videos, you'll notice that I don't really like foiling and doing all this crazy stuff. I just move it out of my way and actually move back, so now we're going to start at the crown of his head, I'm going to work my way up to that foil and then we're going to come out forward, so if I were doing a highlight partial, this is where I would start, this is just the extra that I do for a full and then if I were to do a partial highlight, I would just go from here down and then move on, so that's There are two differences between what I do , but what I'm going to do is take my section right here and I'm going to weave it in and then instead of reducing it like it was before.

In fact, I'm going to put my aluminum foil and my aluminum foil upside down now. I know some of you may have seen some of my other boiling videos and know that I'm doing the foil backwards, but if you haven't and this is totally new to you. This is exactly what I do and the reason I do this is it allows me to get a little bit closer and they don't have to stand next to my clients, so I feel like it's a lot better for my posture and everything. Personally, I love it. I feel like it works a lot better, so I'm going to fold this here and we'll continue down, so I always leave a little section with it, we're trying to get it almost blonde.

I like platinum blonde so I'm just a little baby but it's important to leave some hair out and the reason is because it grows very very well and it will grow out very subtly. Now we are going to make a shadow root. her, but even if we didn't, this would grow much better because we're leaving a little bit of that natural. This is also a really cool technique because you can get closer to the root, you guys can see. I'm not going to go all the way down and the reason is that we're going to move these sheets in a second, so I don't want to get too close with causes like bleed marks, so I'm just going to leave.

It's right there, it's a little hard to see in her blonde hair. I usually just fold this one in half. I fold it in thirds just for its ends. I didn't want to squash them too much, but I usually just fold it in half. I'm going to keep working my way down and we'll meet that section there and then when we get to the front, I'll show you guys what we do there, so we finish all of our coils. until I get to this foil, so what I do is I just take my hair and I'm going to place my column down here, just the tail comb and I use that to bend my foils down, this takes a little bit of getting used to. because you want to make sure you don't hold onto the foils, so if you're going to try this technique, maybe go slow the first time.

I'm very fast and efficient at it because I do it all the time and I practice it a lot, but you know, practice it, so we're going to go down all these sheets until we get to the top section and I'll show you some of these sheets, sometimes they can slide and move around. from time to time, like her hair. It's not actually doing this, but sometimes clients lose their hair, so you just have to hold this little corner and then just reposition it there if that ever happened, like I said, their hair isn't that bad, a Sometimes it happens well.

This is where the head starts to round, so if that happens don't stress, if one foil slips just add another foil, it's not the end of the world, you didn't screw it up, it's pretty common, but If you want it. to make sure that when you pull this hair down you don't see any bleed marks or anything like that, if you see that you grab a towel, wet it, make sure you might need a place on another foil, something like that , but if you see bleed marks as you move down, it means you got too close to that edge, so just be aware of that, so now we're at the top and I'm going to spin it. and we're going to start working our way forward, so we've moved my model.

I spun it around now I'm standing in front of it and I'm actually going to do the exact same thing. I'm going to file back, but Let's work our way up to this hairline and again this really allows me to get in really nice and close, so likebit uncomfortable sometimes I just have my clients pick it up. their head, but for a root shadow, I want to make sure that I'm doing a really precise application, so I have them sit in the bowl, it makes it a little more comfortable for them and, again, of course, the client's comfort is the number. one, but also making sure that the application is correct is also very important, so for the shadow roots I like to start in this bottom section first, so I'm going to take my section here and I think it's really very important to do Make sure Before you comb your hair before you start working on it before you even start applying the product because that will really make a big difference in getting the product through completely and making sure it doesn't end up smeared or dripping.

Personally, I love this comb. This is a WoW comb that I actually have. It's also linked in my Amazon store, this makes a big difference because it has this little roller on there so the product doesn't actually drag the hair down like traditional combs, it will drag the hair down and you can get that spot on . Have you ever had that happen to you with a root shadow, so this comb doesn't make it do that and it's great for blending color, all that kind of stuff, highly recommended, so I'm going to start my application downwards. here and I'll pull this section right here.

I'm just going to drag it down about an inch. Now I'm showing that utq is definitely more viscous, so it will drag down naturally, which is why I'm only dragging it down about an inch. and I love the eq shades for road shadows because it allows me to go through my hair pretty quickly and because of the viscosity of it, I really like it so I'm just going to apply this like I would do a normal root touch up and just go up the head and then , when we get to the hairline, I'm going to show you what I'm doing right, so I just finished this back section, now I'm going to move on to the front and part just about 3/4 of an inch away from your face.

I'm not leaving that area until the last minute, so I'm just sectioning this off. This is going to be the last little section that we do and this makes a big difference because we want that really strong money piece in the front here, so this has been there for about eight minutes, so I'm going to do this last little section right around hairline, but instead of making sure it doesn't pull back and darken these beautiful blonde pieces. I'm just going to put two sheets right here and this helps ensure that those pieces don't get crushed and protects them while we apply this last little finish. piece and for this part I usually have my clients sit alone because I can apply it a little easier and faster.

I'm literally going to apply it to just touch, touch, these little pieces, touch, touch, touch right around the hairline, no more. More than a couple of minutes in this section, okay and she's ready to rinse this off. It sat for about two minutes, so we rinsed the rich shade off of it and we're not going to tone it and it has a little bit of residual warmth left. previous color and all that and probably some hard water buildup, so I'm mixing the gold color with a ratio of 10 P 10 V in equal parts and we're going to apply this all over the hair and leave it out. hairline just because she's already very blonde there, but we're just going to touch it at the last minute so you can see this toner that's been there for almost ten minutes.

I love this toner because it creates such a gorgeous, beautiful blonde. Sometimes I use 10 P only sometimes I mix it up, but you can see how the belt develops so beautifully that it's not too toning anywhere and even if it is, it's going to be a beautiful kind of white cream. blonde, so I love this toner. I feel like it's great because it doesn't come off too quickly so we'll let it sit for maybe a few more minutes but we're almost ready to give it a good rinse and here's our final result guys I love how it turned out look how blonde we got it, she's so beautiful, she's a nice creamy blonde, that beautiful root shadow, she actually looks a little lighter in person than on camera, so I'll be transparent about that. but I love how it turned out.

I think it's so beautiful, so creamy, so blonde and so fun, so I hope you try this technique and check out those formulas, they definitely make a big difference in the way your blondes and I look. I hope you try this. One last thing I want to show you is the beautiful hairline detail and if she wears her hair up in a ponytail, you'll be able to see all that beautiful blonde that's going to come in there, but that pretty little root shadow. she just softens it slightly and it looks so beautiful. This is an amazing technique for clients who wear their hair well.
