Shadow root color melting made easy

this is the shadow root color mounting video made super easy this is the continued video of the highlight low-light balayage so her hair lifted to about a level 9 and there is some painted low lights in there this is the shadow root that I'm using it is Redken shades eq it's 5n I use level 5 6 and 4 for most of my shadow root applications depending on if they are a darker level at the top I usually go for around the same level of darkness as a shadow root and I always use an N and if they have any warmth in their roots then I'll mix it with 80 which is a 60 sometimes a 70 in this case because I'm going for a more warmer tone balayage blend I'm just using the basic levels 5 N and as you can see the way that I'm applying I'm coming through her hair and making sure all her hair is combed evenly and smooth straight down and I'm pretty much just only applying this product right in the beginning of where the highlights are so this is going to make a really nice diffuse transition where you can't see where the highlights begin and where they end and that's the great part of shadow roots is it really blurs everything together and in this particular blend I'm only doing the shadow root color which is 5 N and I'm doing the ends another color so it's just two color formulas not three so it's really simple another thing about red can shades is that it's a semi-permanent color so it's not going to alter the natural hair it's not going to be virgin eyes it if you have virgin roots all it's going to do is tone hair that's lighter a darker tone so because she's pretty much a level 5 it's the same color all it's doing is toning down the beginning of the highlight root and that's why it's called a shadowed root because it's shadowing the beginning of where the highlights show up on the hair and it's creating a very seamless blend and what I usually do whenever I'm doing a shadow root application is I'm working in thin small sections I'm combing the hair smoothly down but I'm always applying the product at the root and wiping it down about halfway and as you're going through the head you want to be sure that everything connects and flows together so I bring the shadow root about halfway down the hair if I want like a darker root blend and there in the top or if it's just to blur out the beginning of the highlight and I usually only bring it down about an inch below that where the highlight begins and around the face I'm always going to paint from the highest point of where their hairline starts not as much product you're gonna kind of work the product down in an angle so in the beginning of her hairline by her roots it's gonna probably come down to about an inch and it's going to get lower as you come towards the back of the hair and this is what is also going to create a really nice face frame and keeping the face nice and bright and having it darken as it meets through the back and gets a little bit lower now we're playing the second color this is the same red can shades of Q and you saw what I mixed it with I mix three different colors together I usually mix an equal amount of three and if I want the color to be a little bit on the lighter side it will mix them clear in it but anyways as you can see the way that I'm applying it on her hair you just squeeze it in the tinting bottle and really work the product through the hair because her hair is damp and this product is very easy to blend through the hair both colors meet really nicely so the shadow root and the ends color you can kind of overlay them and pass your hands through both colors and that's what kind of creates the melting transition is when you start to use your fingers to glide the root application with the new ends application and you just blur it from the middle and pretty much apply some tension and work both color formulas together and that's how you melt the two colors together it's super easy and it's what I do with everyone the reason why I love Renkin shades is it's so easy to apply and it makes color mounting very very easy and you never see where the two colors meet so this is a shot with their hair completely straight because I wanted to show you guys how seamless that root shadow is blending into the rest of her hair and it's a beautiful warm shade I don't get the best lighting in my suite so I wanted to show you how that looks in there and then this is a shot in the mean salon and the natural lighting from the outside hitting your hair you can see so much more shine a lot more trueness of the color and with their hair being curled you see a lot more dimension but I wanted to show you both shots you can see how seamless the roots are with the shadow root and how beautiful the color is in the daytime I
