HOW TO: BLEACH AND TONE + SHADOW ROOT

[@kalamccreadie2193]

I use this technique alot and always love it. The roots are taken out and put back in so that roots are there but on our terms, allowing for a smudged line and allowing the root colour to appear more shadowed than dence. Really love this colour. x

[@ashlik.beautyllc5243]

Kala McCreadie thank you! This is the best explanation! Makes a lot of sense. You couldn’t really see the finished look in true lighting but I bet that’s how it translates in person. Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@christineosterland7035]

Why not show the front of her head in the AFTER? Looked beautiful!!

[@LeSeulGarcon]

I adore Justin he's a beyond this planet amazing colorist. I have a few clients that do this same exact service I get it... but looking at this now... i couldn't help but wonder.... What is the point of A bleach Retouch at the dark blonde regrowth + Partial Highlights only to follow it with a shadowed base color which is almost as dark as the natural color? 😕

[@CourtneyBStylisteducation]

Because the shadow root he wanted to do was lighter than her natural. He used a 7-8 level and she is naturally looks to me at least a 5. If he would have did it in one step it would have pulled to much warmth. This way he could control it.

[@LeSeulGarcon]

Courtney B-Stylist this client is Caucasian... Could have used a high lift tint to break that base color without having to lift to pale yellow only to go back down. A 5 to 7 isn't that far of a reach...

[@NatashaGraves555]

Yes that is exactly what I was wondering :-O

[@CourtneyBStylisteducation]

Still to a lot of warm tones. the undertone in 6 and below is red and red is more difficult to control than the orange and yellow undertones of level 7 and above. highlifts are not usually recommended on levels 6 or darker if you dont want to see any warmth, which Justin did not. Not trying to argue with you, but after 18 years of haveing A LOT of blonde clients, I know my shit. ;-)

[@nalarandall9976]

Exactly, I like the ombre thing but its had its trend time. Its over now. You will still see girls doing this. I'd rather get 2 looks for 1...get your entire head done blonde and let it grow out so your get some variation. I can't stand going back and doing the roots darker, pointless. Faking root grow out? lol just let it happen naturally whats the rush.

[@KatySproule]

He did that bleached and toned roots added color to neutralize and make her blonde look more natural, which it does!! Looks great!

[@astroelias]

You did a incredible job. Thanks for sharing!

[@mnennich]

She had some major previous orange banding and you made the blend blend beyond perfection!!!

[@TravisJReed]

There is a lot of warmth left in her hair and the color is really uneven. It definitely needed a toner and not just a tinted shampoo and conditioner plus a tinted shampoo and conditioner only lasts a couple washes and if you keep using it with such a strong pigment her hair will start to turn blue or purple which is why a toner needs to be used instead.. I think the shadow color was way too dark and I agree that process could have been skipped entirely. Could have used a hi-lift with a really cool base to get a similar effect and again the roots seem almost black in comparison. A shadow root is just that a shadow normally only a couple shades darker than the rest of the hair, that was significantly darker. She basically left the salon looking like she needed to get her roots done the next day. indoor lighting can have cool tones that can disguise uneven color and then you go out in the sunlight and you will see all the areas that still have warmth or gold. I personally feel hair that long should have at least two or three different owners in it. One for the overall base one for a brighter highlight and one for a little bit of depth even if they're only a level or so apart. That's a lot of hair to make all one color which starts to give the effect of a week. any variation in color that you see at the end it's just from uneven bleaching and a lack of toning.

Charlotte Chapman I’m a hairstylist too, idk why you’re so invested in this so you hush lmfao

[@jbloverz66]

I love Justin but I thought the same thing - super uneven color and the shadow root isn't right for this level of blonde / look. A toner should have definitely been used, even if he wants to push the DPHue line (which I understand) but not at the cost of the integrity of good work.

[@abcdef53015]

@@jbloverz66 I just don't understand why he wouldn't use a toner.

I love watching people get their hair bleached. There's something so satisfying about it.

Me too! There’s not enough videos of it lol 😂🥰

[@Smilesremember2Smile]

@@rebeccabruton9359 It shouldn't burn if your scalp is prepped properly and no more than 20 vol is used. (Good bleach like Guy Tang can lift the hair with only 20 vol.)

[@Smilesremember2Smile]

@@rebeccabruton9359 Yeah so a lot of hair stylists don't tell their clients how to prep for bleach. You want to make sure to not wash your hair for at least 5 days. Not washing helps protect your scalp. You want greasy hair before bleaching. When you wash your hair you can make micro abrasions on your scalp and then if you have bleach on your scalp it will burn in those places. Also putting coconut nut oil on the scalp before bleaching can really help prevent burning.

[@Smilesremember2Smile]

[@Damabeauty75]

Why he bleached the roots to go darker again?

[@BrittaniLovesAll]

I'm thinking she had more regrowth than the amount of shadow root they wanted to achieve.

[@shruffles35]

Because her natural color is quite dark. Looks like a level 5 to 5.5 imo. He lifted that color to a canary yellow, and then applied a level 8 hair color so that her roots would be a bit softer and not so harsh. This would be an utter pain in the ass to keep up with, but if you absolutely do not want brassy reddish roots, it's the only way to go if you are that dark. On some level 6 people, using a level 10 hair color with a 20 volume developer, and just briefly leaving it on (10 -15 min) produces the same softening effect. You wash it out just before you start getting brassy, but you have to move quick!!! even 3 more minutes, and you get brassy. Softer brunette is hard to achieve in just one step when you start out so dark. You'd have to do a test strand.

[@BrittaniLovesAll]

ooo thanks for the tip! maybe you can help me with something else....i have a client with level 4 natural. i made her into a platinum blonde, but now when we retouch, even with toning, she is still gold/orange. she's been coming to me for years and is ok with it, but i want it to be brighter. her ends are lighter than her roots obviously, i'm blaming that on the environment and her repeatedly washing that hair. it had no pigment. so i think i 'm going to have to bleach her out twice, which sucks cuz to do it once it takes 40 min. i even upped the developer, (no no) and the timing. same thing. she also has some yellow banding i'd like to get rid of, without hurting her other hair. i use olaplaex on her as well.

[@BrittaniLovesAll]

and if this is why he pre lightened the rootage, why wouldn't he just use the level 8 with a 30 vol developer to soften the base?

[@shruffles35]

Because level 8 with a 30 vol developer stills pulls too much brass on someone that dark. If you want a truly muted soft brown you must get it to the yellow stage, and then tone with an ashy toner. As far as your client, if you have Olaplex stick with a 30 vol and leave it on with heat. The Olaplex turns the 30 vol as gentle as a 20 vol. Unfortunately, I know you guys like to turn around your clients as quickly as possible, but patience is the key for her if you want to preserve the quality and condition of her hair. 40 minutes is not long enough. As long as the bleach mix stays wet, you wait until she has just lifted to past the yellow stage.

[@tahsiscrane5008]

they put the shadowing dye onto wet hair? can you do that with all professional dyes or just some?

[@That_HAIR_Girl1]

I love how you use your assistant! I wish I had had that sort of attention in training when I was an intern!

[@Julie-c8b]

Wow, absolutely stunning! I have a question, are you not using Olaplex #2 anymore? I didn't see it used in the process, between the bleach and root shadow root the hair was shampooed and then again after the roots. Is #2 not necessary any longer?

[@w0ntonsarah]

Justin that looks amazing! Thank you for the tip to go in and foil out certain sections to take out the yellow tone. I'm currently correcting a client who has been box coloring her hair "ash blonde" and she wants to be this light. When I was finished with her first session she said she can still see some yellow tones in her hair

[@Newvintagecollectibles]

I'd like to see the real challenge of a level 2 base into the platinum card this seemed a bit easier since she's already a natural dark blonde

[@DamselNThisDress27]

[@jennifermiles9988]

so as im watching and reading the comments i was expecting her roots to look like a level 4 or something. this is beautiful and her grow our will be more natural so when she comes back in its not the most unbearable skunkline root. also the person who said she can do this at home with her sally bleach, good luck. that bleach is rough and will most likely fry the poo out of your hair.

Can somebody help? I need to do my roots and also lighten my hair color- My hair color is an level 8-9 blonde and my roots are dark brown. Ive planned on buying powder bleach and lever 30 developer and also a T10 toner and a 10 developer for the toner. The problem is, i dont know in which order should I bleach my hair. Should I start with bleaching the roots (once or twice?) and then bleach the hair all around to lighten the color once the roots are done?

[@sadegemmell4131]

How long would you recommend waiting to get my hole head bleached again as I had it done twice and went in to a Different salon to get my roots darkened and toner and the stupid cow dyed my hole head this crapy dark blond brown colour before I was a white ashy blond now it looks brown or would you recommend going and getting half head foils dark root just to see what it looks like

[@kanikajohnson4533]

What can I do about the dryness of my roots after bleaching them .cus IV tried everything even massaged argan oil a lil bit .help😣

[@misotofu5789]

Wouldn’t it help if he used a dark Demi-perm on the roots with finger blending /smudge technique instead ? rather than bleaching to prevent stronger damage from the bleach? But it’s the same outcome right ? That middle finger though 15:00 LMAO And if I were to use purple semi-perm on the platinum blonde would it visibly overlap the dark roots on the line ? If I were to wish to achieve the black roots with purple hair instead

[@Anya_SM]

Does anybody know did he use the same “root mix” for rest of the hair (the one that he put in the foil)? Or it’s a new mix with less volume, 20 or less?

Neo Leo you can use T18 color charm by Wella it works wonder in eliminating yellow tones

[@dsdssewedc7591]

did you watch the video till the end? from what i can tell by the after pictures there isn't a single hue of yellow in that hair :O looks very icy actually. i guess some people are so obsessed with toning they see yellow everywhere lmao i used to be like that too

[@nalarandall9976]

I use T18 now for a year and leave it on 45 mins, Id rather have it grayish than yellow. Im sorry but I see a yellow blonde tinge, unless its warm lighting from above. I think I will just leave the bleach longer, I mean it gets almost white on its own with the bleach I use, Like the inside of a banana LIGHT!. But maybe I need to go from 30vol to 40vol to give that yellow a kick.

[@nalarandall9976]

Galoida, it really depends on the base of the persons hair. My hair is natural level 4 dark. I've gone super bright red in my teens and had to bleach almost white before going to that fire red. I also have my cosmetology license and was the top in my class for hair color formulation... I love formulation. My frustration is the tiny little tinge of blonde/yellow. Im a perfectionist, its not something others will perceive. Only I will see it along with other obsessive types lol. So yes and no...There is a tinge of blonde in there that reads yellow to me. Maybe its the lights that are warm reflection off the hair. None the less the hair is STUNNING.
