I Love the outcome Beautiful, my auntys wants this hair this week Question So you used your root shadow same color as a toner over the blonde to the ends?
Awesome! So excited for your aunty :) Here's what we used: Root Shadow: 30 grams 7-42, 10 grams 7-11, 40 grams IGORA VIBRANCE Activator gel 1.9% (6 Vol.) Mid lengths and ends: 9.5-1 & IGORA VIBRANCE Activator gel 1:1
Hi, had a question in regards to the plastic wrap. Is this to prevent product transfer to the next layer since you are painting the backside of the section where as with some balayage techniques you don't want to fully saturate throughout or would this be because of the product used and with damp hair? Also do you chose plastic wrap versus foil to you can see the lift without disturbing the product/ hair and potentially creating spotting? Thanks for the video I am a student currently and we do not get much more than the basics so I am always looking for more creative techniques.
will a wet balayage lift as much on virgin natural hair, as the fact the hair is wet dilutes the bleach but can also soften the hair shaft? would you tell us bleach mixture was used?
Excellent questions. Due to the water barrier, the lightener will move slower, giving you maximum control. It also will provide you with a super soft diffusion; This would be a great place to start for someone with virgin hair because of how natural and seamless it can look. The recommended mixture is 1 part powder 2 parts developer. We recognize every artist has a preferred painting consistency, so its up to you if you want more or less developer in that mixture.
@@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA was this done with the Schwarzkopf clay lightener and if so what percent developer? We just invested in the clay lightener so am very curiois
Why is it that when I create diffusion it doesn’t fully lift… resulting in orange and warmth in the blended zone? Any tips for diffusing better without only partially saturating the hair strands? Thank you for this video!
That's because when hair is wet you dilute the bleach and developer with the water that's in hair. The technique shown will work well only for already light hair. For darker colors, dry hair gives more consistent results
Great Question! Balayage can take some practice but i know you'll get it! Most likely when you're getting orangie warm tones the product wasn't saturated enough or it dried out. A great tip is think of the hair in 3 zones. You'll have your loading zone ( Zone 1 ), your feathering zone ( Zone 2 ), and the ends that you fully saturate ( Zone 3 ). You'll Load the BlondMe Clay 7+ lightner in the middle (Zone 2) feather to the root (Zone 1) come back down (Zone 2), feather back up again (Zone 1) until you feel happy. Load again in the middle (Zone 2) come down to the ends (Zone 3) and fully saturate. Then you can either move on to the next section or if you like (but not necessary) you can add plastic wrap to keep in the heat and moisture. Here are a few videos of balayage to help explain further. I hope this helps. - Meg | Ask Expert with Skp @pixelate_hair
Thank you for this response! I guess it’s a sweet spot of not fully saturating in Zone 1 - hence the feathering - and yet saturating enough so it’s not orange. So not fully saturated where feathered, but not so under-saturated that it doesn’t lift well. I appreciate the detailed reply!
Hi there! At approximately 4:40 is the formula for the mids and ends. She is applying 30g 7-42 + 10g 7-1 + 40g 1.9% (6vol) Gel Activator at the root melted into 9,5-1 + 1.9% (6vol) Gel Activator (also applied to the face framing). Hope this helps to clarify!

it is to protect the application and also incubate the hair without the heat you would get from foiling!
Hello, what is the toner for zone 2 and 3? Thank you for this lovely work!
The toner formulas are at 3:52 and 4:39 in this video. Hope that this helps.

But I don´t understand, she applies the 7.42 all over the hair? Not only the roots?

@@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA Thanks, now I understand
what was the processing time?
Great question! 45 Minutes is the processing time for the lightener and 20 minutes is the processing for the new BLONDME toners.
@@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA which blondme toners did you used?
When a dummy has better hair then you do.....
😑🤦🏼♀️😭
Don't feel bad! That mannequin puts us all to shame!
