EQ. I'm using 66 and 7 and all equal parts for her formula here, as you can see I'm working through her head, grabbing thin sections and combing everything out gently with the comb and then I'm applying the toner to the

root

s of her scalp only. about an inch down. You can lower it more if someone hasn't lifted it evenly or if you have some spots that you want to cover or even out, you can lower the shadow root. lower or if you like the look where your roots are a little bit darker and lower and then get lighter at the bottom, this is another way you would put the shadow root at a lower point, but to she's actually going to be using three different

color

s so I'm going to start with the darkest shade that's right at the root just an inch down and then I'm going to use another

color

that's a little bit lighter than this one and it's going to be applied right below that. color and then I'm going to finish with a lighter toner on all the ends of your hair that will give you a blonde tone.

I'm just working from the bottom to the top of the head and the section for this is pretty much wherever the hair is parted and I section it from the top of the head to the ears and I go ahead and start with the back first and then I continue with the sides now that you are working on the sides. When doing the same thing, the only difference is that you want to keep the highlight that is on the face of your hairline higher, so when you bring down the root of the shadow, you want to bring it down at an angle so that it's not completely a line horizontal. to make it slightly diagonal so it transitions into the back of your hair and this will also allow you to have a more pronounced facial frame which will keep your hair brighter in the front and I rotate the brush vertically to make the transition. of the root of the shadow not so far Kersh because if you apply it horizontally you will have a little more of that pronounced line, so if you rotate the brush vertically it will help you blend and something like that.

Bring the root of the shadow up and down your entire hair to break up that line. Now I also want to remind you that her hair is not toned yet, so it looks a little yellowish blonde, but as you see here it looks quite intense. you'd probably freak out and say, "OMG, it looks like it's going to have a dark black line on the top of its head, don't be scared, just when it rusts, it looks like it's a little darker, but I promise." when you rinse it off it's really not dark at all, so here I am applying my second color.

This is more of a color setting skill, so you have a darker toner at the root, which is the shading of the root. Now I'm working on another one. color that's right under that shadow root and it's pretty much going to go from the darker root shade to a little bit lighter color and then I'm going to leave the ends out so I don't touch them at all, that's why I'm applying it very lightly and I'm applying a little bit of this toner downwards in a vertical motion but leaving the ends out because I don't want this medium shade to darken your ends so you can see the way I'm applying it. my hand underneath will give me some stability right there as I apply the product, it's very easy to just squeeze it and rub it into the hair and once again I'm using redkin shades here, this toner is a level 7 so at its roots I'm mostly a level 6 and now I'm working on a level 7 8 I think here I used a 7 P and a 7 N and since I'm on top of his head I'm just going To put it on top of the foil, the foil just helps so it doesn't stay on top of the previous section because I don't want it to ruin the pattern I'm creating here and you just want to work very gently as you do it.

When applying this toner you don't want to get too much, you want to make sure that where you are playing it is where you want to see it and to be very honest with you guys when you do shadow roots and you like a medium tone it makes the transition smooth. very soft, so if you are afraid that it will look too contrasty because the ends are very blonde, this is a good way to put a medium color so you can soften the transition of a darker color. roots to really shiny ends as I work on the front of your hair notice that everything is pulled away from your face and the same concept applies here where you want to keep the hairline at the lightest point so that it still applies in a slightly diagonal and you want to make sure that the middle shade is not lower than the hair behind the hairline, so again the hairline should be at the highest point so that the root of the shadow is about an inch from the new growth and then your medium toner will sit right below that and sit higher than the back.

Now I'm applying the third toner here. This will be her for her blonde. This is a level 9. So, this is a v9p nine. a little light and I'm only applying it to the rest of the ends of your hair and the best thing about the eq shades is that the consistency is so thin and a gel like that when you apply it you can put it all together, no Don't worry if it touches the previous toner , that's what makes it have this blending effect, making it look blurry, is it okay for them to overlap each other?

So the total processing time that I leave this on is usually about five minutes, maybe ten if you need more advice, but As you can see, look how beautiful it is, it's so natural looking and what the shadow root does that darken the root of that highlight a little bit more so it looks more natural and all the bright blonde pieces are all in the ends and around the face so you get that beautiful face frame, that's it. I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you soon, bye.
