How I do a Shadow Root - root tap, smudge, drop tutorial

Hey everyone! happy 2023! I hope you all had a good break, and are ready to get to more tutorials! I cant thank you enough for a great 2022 and im so excited to see what this year has in store.
This video is a quick little tutorial on how i do my root shadow ( root tap, smudge root etc) applications and how i base my formulas. these rules work for all hair types and colours, so its a great jumping off point for any hairdresser who is new to blending roots into blonding. feel free to tweak these formulas however you need and dont forget to tell me how it all goes in the comments below.

Can I just say, how much I appreciate you breaking down your formulas!! You're not just showing the color box and proceeding with the process 🙄 you actually break it down and EXPLAIN what they are. THANK YOU!!! I needed this, root shadowing on such bright blonde can be so intimidating. You've boosted my confidence, can say thank you enough ♥️

I love your tutorials and you explain the how to’s and why you formulate your tones for each area make so much sense! Do you have any tutorials for highlighting and covering grey roots? I typically apply low volume lightener and finish the last sections with higher volume, then go in and apply my root color to cover the gray. Sometimes it will accidentally get a spot on the left out ends 😩so what I started doing is applying a semi permanent gloss to the left out ends and combing it through. Is that what you recommend doing? I would love a tutorial on this! 🙏🏻

May I ask what your ratio for the 7-4 root shadow is to ensure the shadow doesn’t go TOO dark?
Thank you for your informative videos! They are the best I have found on TH-cam, I appreciate all you do.

Love this video, as I have been doing my own hair ever since the pandemic. I am 50 now, and my hair has changed and is more challenging to maintain a perfect cool blonde, as compare to when I was 25. I use Wella Freights and Blonder, and find that although I am a natural 7.5 ice/mousy grey blonde, copper undertones are very vivid especially at the root area. I am afraid to damage my hair and use 30% with my powders, but at the same time I don't get enough lift from 20%...and the toners are not working as well as before to keep it less brassy. Any idea? Thanks

I wish I could fly to the other side of Canada and have you do my hair!!! Gorgeous. You are a wizard. Is your root shadow formula equal parts? Thank you :)

[@jonathanspencer8628]

I'd actually go so much brighter then that!😁

This is a beautiful blond. The dimension is stunning.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

thank you!

[@jaquosh1576]

Nice result, but I would have thought, that there is a technique, where you just put the bleaching cream til the middle of the hair to get this effect, without making the highlights up to the roots and afterwards putting on a toner. Could you please send me a vid like I described it? Thanx.

You’re amazing! A dream colorist…would it were I could find someone like you where I live….the colorists here are lazy.

Colouring is great, the ends needed a cut, though.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

True, but I don’t cut hair without consent
