- OK SO I DID IT!! subscribe for more at-home hair videos :).DEMO at 2:33. PS: just want to say that i am not a pro and obviously this didn't turn out perfect! but i always document my at-home hair fun for you guys :). The purpose of me doing this was to give a more blended root so that I can give myself highlights later on...ultimately I wanted to transition from solid bleach to foils which I will do myself and document a how to diy foils/highlights later on :)
EDIT: a few dys later i ended up going to the salon to have them bring it down further (you'll see in my next videos) - always know when to go to a salon :) :)
This method can also be used if your roots are already grown in and very harsh - just pull it down a little further than regrowth.

This is LITERALLY the video I NEEDED! I have been bleaching my entire head for about 8 months and I just wanted a shadow root so it’s not so shocking as it grows out and I just was worried it was going to look too harsh, you know? Thank you soooo much for sharing! 💕
I've done this to mine a few times....best way I've found for best root smudge and a good graduation of colour ...put the darker colour in roots first like Normal root application...then after that ..use a wide tooth comb ..and comb down from root about two or three inches...so much easier if your doing it yourself....and really gives an amazing natural root smudge....with taking a full head blonde to more balayage. ...take darker root further down ...and comb to ends from darker colour. ..do not add anymore colour ..just comb through using colour you already applied ...
Yes I am a stylist so not talking outa my ass lol .....just trying to make it easier for you beautiful ladys xx
Question for ya , do I have to wait for my natural root color to grow out before I attempt a root smudge? I’m a natural level 5 and bleached my hair to a level 11. What color should I buy for a root smudge? Would I use a number 5ash Demi? Won’t ash turn blonde hair green if I pull through hair? I have a lot of red undertones so if I don’t use an ash won’t my root smudge look warm if I use anything other then an ash? Would love to hear your response. Thanks 🙏
@@ashleyr9042 did you ever find out an answer to your questions? I have the exact same questions.
@@kristyharris9112 no sorry. I ended up going to a salon LOL
@@ashleyr9042 thats okay! Thanks for replying 😉
Thank you so much for top-three inches advice. I am panicking.. I have a date tomorrow.. o my God😥🤣 I used number 11 Scandinavian blond by Schwartzcopf.. I look bold at the root😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭😭
hey girl I don't know if you're still doing the Shadow on yourself, and I'm not sure how old this video is, but just some advice for next time if you're still doing it...it came out really well considering you're not a licensed professional. Just the tip next time, take a comb and drag the color down a little bit so it Blends a little bit more. Just comb the colors through it doesn't have to be too far but it'll help to blend out those harsh lines a little bit, it will be even more natural! also people tend to be warmer tones toward the roots, so you may want to add a little bit of 8n to the mix just so it's not so muddy it will compliment the blond even more and balance out the tones to keep it uniform and complimentary, but I think you did a wonderful job! it looks great on you♡
thanks for the advice! I no longer do it myself :) - I've learned my lesson!
I heard you say you use 7a, you should of only used an 8 bc it would of been a bit lighter. I agree you should a neutral or just buy 8na and comb through so that it blends away those harsh lines/blotches.
somegirljess god you are too cute! we've all had our impulsive hair horror stories! but i do agree this turned out pretty good!!
Thank you 🖖
Yessss...thats how i do mine i saw a pro do it on her channel and i tried it and it came out great! Same technique w the comb. I fiund a comb w double teeth. 😊
HI short Tip from a stylist. Backcomb the roots (tease) 3-4 times with a teasing comb. Then apply color to that root area. Then if you want to make it more fluid take a conditioning treatment (like Olaplex 2) and paint that to the ends smudging and blending at the line of demarcation. (Diluting the color a bit for flow effect.)
When the hair is rinsed and brought back down in place it will have that flowing shadow effect better and you will have a nice conditioning treatment done.
Heather McManus Sheflyzskyz - but you can’t get Olaplex 2 without being licensed. Would 3 work the same way?
Kai Vickers u can buy it on Ebay and many other places but no3 or any conditioner will do. I do the same with foils if only roots need doing, so that the a) the foil has something to grip onto & b) so the bleach or high lift doesn't touch already pre lighted mids&ends when folding my foil xx
Heather McManus Sheflyzskyz Hi heather. I’m confused, a hairstylist did a balayage on me with the comb technique and I loved it, but she painted the long hair and you said to paint the roots, is there any difference?
Omg why haven’t I saw this comment for THREE WHOLE YEARS?! I’m 100% doing this next time. Brilliant
Great tip, thanks!
Please post a video with your hair dresser results when possible and give us your advice. Thank you again! Your videos changed my life. I even learned English with you because you are so clear when you talk. My husband is thankful too ❤️
Hey guys! I know this didn't turn out perfect but I always document my hair processes for you! And I will be the first one to say to know when to go to a hair dresser if you're not confident because let me tell you doing the back of my head was a pain!! After a week, I ended up getting a hair dresser to pull down the colour a little more and it looks much better :) thanks for watching my hair journeys ❤❤❤❤
somegirljess it still looks amazing! I've seen videos where people comb it in a bit to blend it more ! Maybe try that next time ?☺
should have let the roots grow out because now when you go to lighten that section back up once your hair's longer it's going to be more damaging
Amy Leigh she can just use color fix to remove it when she wants solid blonde again, it takes out permanent colour with no damage. I've used colour rewind (same thing in my country) multiple times and it works perfectly for this type of thing
Rebecca Eilidh thanks girl :) you're very right! And the whole point is to not have solid blonde anymore so I don't have to do my roots every 4 weeks which is such a hassle. Sometimes I feel people forget that I'm a human who does things because I want to haha 🙈
Girl you can be hairstylist. Amazing.
you have guts! I'm scared to stray from my platinum because it feels like I'll never get it back and as in good condition. But it's such an upkeep... I've been wanting to get a reverse balayage done for a while though.
I feel ya. The upkeep is why I'm looking into moving away from my white blonde.
omg same but i knew if i did the process of getting back to platinum would be so stressful and i cba to go through the orange phase 😭
I know this is a side note but girl your back is so pretty 😍
Oh! Maybe a comb would've helped keep it from being chunky or patchy! Have you ever tried that? I know they do it a lot in salons with ombré hair
how can you have so healthy looking hair while you keep bleaching it?💜 Looks amazing!
I love your videos I looked a lot of them myself but yours is the one that help me a lot
I think it turned out great. A good advice to this technique is to use a tooth comb to create a more smooth smudge look to blend the two tones together (the bleached color with the root color). Or you could use a smudge brush which looks like a make up powder blush to create this look as you apply the dye.
you look like this taissa farmiga at the end!
I’m a transplanted Canadian (Winnipeg) now living near the beach in Southern California. Excuse my American spelling; very different here. I love watching all of your videos & yes I tried the Elle Bangs method & it didn’t turn out well for me either. Too much dark color via that method. Going to give your method a try today. Watching you isn’t just informative, it also makes me feel at home knowing that I really don’t have an accent 😉
I think it turned out pretty good! Great job, I'm glad my video could help you out a bit!!
omg it was so hard haha yours turned out so much better!!!
somegirljess I think the key is to bring it down farther than you would think! The more you blend it down, the less of a harsh line you will have!
Your videos are the best! I used the Ellebangs too! I decided last week to go back to bleached blonde all over because of you!!!!!! I was sad when I saw this but it looks really good. I just love your blonde videos :)
If you do it again then next time all you need to do is comb it through after with a wide comb once , not repeatedly. That ensures blending. And also another way to blend it better is once you have root tapped your colour all over is to just go through your whole head and rub the coloured areas slightly into the non coloured areas thus blending out so there is no line. I usually tone after with a purple toner right up to the ends overlapping the blond with partially the rubbed in colour leavening out your inch from the root. Hope that helps xx
I did this a few months back now, wishing I had done a video but I was too scared to mess up. I think it's key to go a little bit further down than you want and blend with fingers to the rest of the hair. If I ever do it again, not that I need to because my roots are growing in quite naturally I'd film it because there is such a gap in advice with this.
I think it's a good idea! personally, I never used this technique and probably I won't soon but the first thing I thought about was blending new color with fingers after applying it. anyways, I would watch your video
I think it looked good. When you’re doing your hair at home you can do it several times to correct tiny imperfections. This was really helpful to me because no matter how much toning my hot roots would NOT budge, used this and it just looks like my natural grow out. Love it thanks.
I love Ellebangs too! She's so helpful, thanks for recommending another TH-camr. I hadn't heard of her. I'm so excited to see you try this. I just bought the same colors as you in this video.
If you ever want to temporarily try this to see if you like it before you take the color leap, you can use Rootflage temporary root touch up. It can be used as a high light or low light. :)
You did a amazing job. give yourself credit .
Thank you! I was waiting for this video because I needed your advice. I love the result, it turned out verry natural. I was worried that the 7A takes me to a dark color but it finally ended with an amazing dark ash blond. (Sorry for my English, I am a French Canadian) :)
Lol ur English was perfect
just exactly what i have been looking ! it is amazing, better than hairdressers with all their foils!!!!!!!!!! and their price Bravo from France
It looks great, it was exactly what I was looking for.
me too
How do you keep the dark color from bleeding on to the blonde
Idk if you already got the answer to this question, but I read on a different root smudge tutorial that you can stop your roots from bleeding by using conditioner or foil on the ends. *comment was made by 2 different professional stylists.*
@somegirljess I like that even though it didn't turn out exactly the way you wanted, still you share it with the world, in hopes of helping someone, as you always do 😊. I did this to myself a few months ago following the ellebangs tutorial and it turned out pretty good. I believe if you'd have gone a little bit further down you would've liked it better. I don't know if I could share some pics of the process in here, because I did took photos just to have them as reference, for friends that would ask me how I did it. Anyways, love your videos as always, and if you really want the more low maintenance look of the rooted blonde hair try again the ellebangs method, and don't be afraid of going down a little bit more. Oh!! also, I used a comb( after I finished dyeing diagonally ) all over the hair(but parting it all over again diagonally) in a somekind of blurring motion over the dyed roots just to blend it a little with the blonde or you could use your finger tips. This will help with the transition from darker to lighter. Sorry if you can't understand something, as english is my second language. I hope this might help you somehow 😘
30jmf yes you are so right about taking it down further!! I think I was a little scared haha but I should have just gone for it
30jmf
Thats where you went wrong ELLE BANGS fucked up channon roses hair and other peoples..your blonde hairs beautiful dont change it
Little Bunny Bunny what did she do to Channon's hair?
We seem to go through the same hair issues at the same times 😂 i tried this myself a couple months ago and it was so uneven & difficult to do, I ended up going to a salon too! It was a bit dark but washed to a nicer colour. it's much better than bleaching your roots like every 5 weeks and you can still tone your blonde every couple months ! X
When you bleach, do you use a toner after? The tone of your blonde is really pretty. And I love the smudge root. 🥰
Soooo watching this, just a tip. basically you just gave yourself root outgrowth look. You need to take your brush and hold it vertical after you put on the roots and bring it down or simply take your comb and comb down for more of a blended melt look:)
If you go in at the root with diagonal or top to bottom from front bringing everything to the top to the bottom bring everything forward as you go threw each row or come out perfect every time followed with a 10p 0r o9p redken shades eq toner to blend it perfectly smuged and toned ever time I diy horizontal from top to bottom with 8n redken shades eq follow with 09p and 7 drops of 10p shades eq 5min before finish leaving roots dry color will hit ends while shampooing i promise
Thought you were supposed to use a brush on the dye after to smudge it on the hair? Think that could be why it went patchy
Lol a little combing on the shadow root would have fixed the situation. You have to bring it down a bit. It creates a diffused effect.
after touching ur roots with the dark toner, comb your until 3 cm bellow the roots to give it a more dimensional, natural smoked effect. yiou need a darker permanent toner.
Thank you so much. Going to do it now.. I over coloured the blond. Went Scandinavian blond. The top of my head is so blond, it looks bold😥
I love your makeup-
Thank you for this video! Most videos for the root smudge look are done by professionals with so many partings that I gave up. I was trying to simplify! I like the way yours turned out, except that I wear my hear up a lot and want to do more of the back and underneath. We'll see how that works out, lol! Thanks again!
You amaze me. It looks great.
No link to the other channel.
I really like your videos. Thank you for sharing :)
you did it! ha ha Gr8! Pls show us the salon result as well, anxious to see :)
maybe try with a grey toner rather than a dark colour ...the mark of delineation might not be so bad
I asked my dad who is a barber to bleach my henna out (I know, omg). For some reason he did my root regrowth too as well so I have ash blond roots, then a patch of WHITE on top and underneath, and the rest is like a strawberry gold colour. It looks so botched. I'm hoping I can just darken the white part and it will look more natural. The mid section of my hair is horribly damaged now from me trying to lift the henna :( but the newer hair at my scalp is in good condition for me to smudge and hopefully look more natural. Hope I don't make it look even worse though :/
How do you do a root smudge on a complete bling platinum head without hair turning green? I’m a newbie and just bleached my natural brown hair blonde, and I’m wanting to do a root smudge on it immediately .
I’ve heard that ash-toned colors tend to go green on platinum hair. You should be able to avoid it by using a neutral or warm-toned color.
Ellie bangs shows how to do it perfectly check out her video
Did it go grey or greenish ? I want to go back to my natural color which is pretty much this color but i don't want to have to redo it
Have you got a video on how you bleach your own hair?
I did it your way. . perfect! thank you 💖
You are gonna be my new bestie lol. Everything you're doing are things I'm trying to do!
xoxoxo
Hey- looks good! What brand/color toner do you use over your bleached blonde hair? It's so pretty- doesn't look too yellow or ash. Thanks!😊
How do you prevent the dark colour from effecting your bleached hair?
You should of saved your money! Let your roots grow out a little more and it would of been fine!! I know how you feel tho, I use to freak out if it wasn't perfect and run to the salon! Great video non the less!
My hair is bleached almost platinum-too blonde at the roots (almost white). What should I do?
Someone has probably already said this, but I’ll chime in anyway...(~years later~...LoL)
A Demi developer is a 6 volume developer.
Personally. I thought it looked good before you did anything. The contrast between your natural color and the bleached hair is nice. I don’t understand the concept of only dying some roots and not all. I think it would make a lot more sense to do the entire head and pull some down the strands to create more dimension or not rinsing with cold water to prevent it from bleeding because the bleeding actually gives a very nice effect if the color used works well with the bleached hair to begin with. It will not remain as dramatic as it fades.
Wow! It’s Perfekt👌
Would love to see more extensions videos!!
What is your lip color! Is so pretty. Gonna steal :)
Better than I'd do. Not bad!
Ok I figured something out. To keep the root shadow color from bleeding onto the blonde. While it's processing, wet the blonde hair and add a clear filler. You can even mix w/ a little conditioner to add a protein treatment. This will help keep the color from bleeding. Tries cold water but if your hair is really porous-ugh. Also, funny how all of these other videos are about making your hair gray or silver-odd trend. Kind of aging don't you think (unless you luv it then rock it)
How long before you did the root smudge did you bleach & tone & what color did you tone with
I love you as a solid blonde!
I wish i had your hair!!
I have silver hair and overgrown roots, I'd like to do this on myself. I'm not sure whether I should use a semi or demi permanent color? I have very dark brown hair so I'm not sure!
Meggy Makasiar semi will wash out after a couple weeks. Demi will last but will fade in colour.😊
Bonjour es-que le root pour cheveux couvre les cheveux gris!!,
huuuuuunnny that's why u have to blend the brush down vertically D; u saved it well tho!
I have a question. So next month when your roots grow in how do you do them and than do you have to bleach the smudged. roots blonde again?
Carol Steele my goal in this was to give myself roots so that I could put highlights on top. I wanted a highlighted look as opposed to straight across harsh roots. So this was step 1 :) - I then went to a salon to get highlights on top of my root smudge
The best to do is to use demi permanent colors to create this look since it slowly fades. Then, you can either remove the color with color remover or bleach it if it is not lifted enough underneath as the rest of the hair. Next lighten the regrowth to an orange yellow level so that the demi color level 6-7-8 you add to the roots can deposit at show.
I would absolutely believe you if you said you were Carly Incontro's sister.
Damn, you’re right, past Jamie
It looks great
hey Jess. as a regular viewer, I wanted to ask if you could break up the hair videos more. thanks for the content you put out!
ntbicollegegrl haha I just upload in the order that I film! Never thought anything of it..but yeah sure! :)
somegirljess Thanks for listening. :)
Love your channel
So all you need is a 10 developer?
what is your natural hair color? It looks dark brown, but it may just be due to the contrast,as the bleached parts are super light. I'm only asking because I would like to bleach my dark brown hair and I was wondering if I can achieve your level of lightness
yes, it is just the contrast that makes it look that dark. but my natural hair is a dark blonde, probably somewhere between a level 6 and 7, and i tend to have lighter blonde natural highlights. If yu decide to bleach your natural dark brown, use a 30 volume developer. You could use 40 volume , but i don't recommend it unless you have insanely healthy hair. You would likely to have to bleach once with 30 or 40 vol, it would turn gold, and then you would bleach again with a lower volume developer (20). that would take it from gold to yellow, in which you could tone. obviously this is tricky but it can be done!
hey, thanks for the reply. I have a whole plan on how to bleach my hair. I was surprised to see your hair so dark as your skintone and eye color are very light, but now it makes sense why it bleaches to such a beautiful color. Lol I'd never go near a 40 volume!! I've colored my hair before with semi permanent and recently stripped all the color, so it's a bit damaged on the ends, I was thinking about getting olaplex and doing it myself at home, as it costs a fortune in the salon. Prices are astronomical, don't know who can afford it. Plus I don't really trust hair stylists :/ No one knows what you want out of your hair better than you, you just have to do lots of research..Anyway I'll definitely film a video if I end up going for it, just gonna leave my hair to recover from the stripping a month or so :D
I thought it looked good ❤️
whiteyho123 thank you! I know it didn't turn out perfect but I still like to document my hair processes no matter what :)
somegirljess oh you're welcome, you've given me the impetus to do my own. I love your hair and beauty vlogs so much ! Andrea (UK) xx
Cute looks nice!
I meed this so bad. Got my hair bleached in China and its awful. Like my whole hair is yellowish. Gotta use toner soon, but my roots just look so unnatural, so Im looking up ways to save it lmao.
please tell us what level of the dye you used here. They go from 1 to 9. Black is 1. 9 is the lightest blonde. Thank you.
She said Level '7A' at the start. Which is a Dark Ashy Blonde colour (which can sometimes come out a Light Ashy brown depending on the brand)
Oh shit i have the same mirror as you. Jysk lmao. Are you.... in Ottawa?
I’m a color expert. 10 volume developer is Not. No lift. Developer. And best to see a salon. OR use an acidic Demi. No lift deep blonde shade mixed with 5 volume developer. Lots of hard work here. Really easier when done in a salon. Applauding the massive effort here. Beth. I do not recommend use of permanent color to do this! Be careful. See a salon colorist! Good luck!
10 vol just deposits does it not? So how can it lift sorry if I'm wrong 😅
how did you get such a beautiful blonde mine keeps turning ugly orange no matter how many times I've lifted it
aw thank you! thankfully mine just lifts really easily. I think it helps that my natural colour isn't all that dark, and my hair is not course or resilient. Sadly some people's hair is just really stubborn and wont lift past the orangey stage ever. :(
Jen Covert there are charts that show what your lifted color will be from your base. Sometimes you can’t get higher. I started out a dark blonde/light brown and after bleaching twice I still have some red in my brassy blonde!
Looks great!
That looks great!
She so pretttyyy
how did you get the blonde you have in this video?
do you know if you can mix the wella color additives (042 warming gold) to other dyes that aren't by wella such as the ion permanent color liquid?
Emily I don't know sorry! My instinct says that it would probably be okay as long as they are both liquid products like you say. But also, as an additive, it might need some ingredient in the actual wella dyes to work properly. I probably wouldn't do it personally, but you could always try a test piece of hair before you did the whole thing
Pretty good thank you
Is this 7A root
You have to comb your hair after applying root color and then apply a toner to even it out, your roots look too patchy! I am not a hairstylist but did a better job on my shadow roots :D
Music is too loud!
What color is this tho
Blend with a comb!
ooh, you basically turned your hair to -- haven t been to the saloon for 3 months..
your hair was wonderful! i really recommend to fetch goldwell lowloights in neutral and warm. mix this with the developer and than go for streaks.. from top, to the lenght but not the end. it is super for overbleached hair... i think you made it worse-- sorry..
You really aren't supposed to mix developers across brands. It will affect your results. Different brands have different formulations.
interesting! thanks for the tip
No
That’s a zero volume developer
Me here to look like kenma
Why do you want to have roots? I don't get it 🙈 i try to get rid of my roots all The time and you are doing it on purpose 🤔
Lisa Troyekens haha well my real roots are very harsh and straight across because my hair is all one solid colour. By giving myself a root that isn't as straight across, now I can transition to giving myself highlights so that I don't have to touch up my roots every 4 weeks which is a hassle
Lisa Troyekens I think for outgrowth
Some of us like the " rooty" look. Lol
It makes blondes look 100% more natural because blonde hair is naturally darker at the root
Lisa Troyekens I honestly think it looks better when the hair are darker at the roots hahah, but it’s a taste-thing i guess
It's best to section your hair
I don’t get root shadow/smudge. Why would anyone WANT to look like they are overdue for a highlight and their roots are showing. It looks trashy - like the person can’t afford to get to the salon. Why would they want to look unkempt.
Here I am trying to figure out how to get my roots blonder and I find somebody who's adding dark roots to their blond hair. Why the heck would anybody want to do that.?
