Solve Brassy Highlights at Home for pennies

with age-old Hollywood Hair Stylist Recipe



With your emails please include answers to the above 6, don't let #4 freak you out

One example of an answer to #4 is this:



Have newly tinted blond hair that is too brassy ?? or highlights that have a brassy (yellow-ey) cast to them, how would you neutralize that?............go to the color wheel........where is yellow on the wheel ?? remember to neutralize or cancel it out, you go where?????

to the opposing side....
That is the one and only way to cancel out an objectionable colour

So to cancel out a yellow cast, you would use a toner that has a violet base. You may have seen the many colored conditioners they make for the public now which are basically Toners. A Toner is a transparent color, I relate it to nylons for the legs. Transparent, but adds a cast of color to the hair (leg) . You've seen these in drug stores now for Redheads -Blondes - Brunettes they call them "colored conditioners", when in fact they are Semi Permanent Toners as they are depositing color in the hair strands. { be careful if you purchase these...they will screw up color you do to your hair, after applying them }
here is an example of one of the brands




...as hair stylists we have been using these for 20 years....don't ask me why we kept them secret from the public...?
that whole method of hair is ridiculous to me now....I think you all should have access to all knowledge that is available.

As I've said before hair and cooking are 2 very similar arts. They are both elementary chemistry at work to please the human being.

If this was the cooking world....it would be similar to elite Chefs keeping from everyone the ability & recipes to make frosting. You have the recipes to make cakes but there is a trick to making frosting, it had been figured out, the elite chefs made them, but those of us without our own Chef could not figure out how to make frosting. We didn't have the recipe, it was never allowed to be published in cookbooks. They thought only the wealthy should have the recipe? Why?

Knowledge should be made available to everyone.....
Every single person on the planet

If your brass is really tough use the shampoo and conditioner made by either of the 2 companies OR I make one specific just for you its called "HINT"

Hit our store for this excellent way to conquer this problem

VLOG <> PLOG <> BLOG'S ..... of Hair Color, Cut and Styling Tricks of the KILLER CHEMIST

I am trying to turn this into a PLOG--VLOG & BLOG.......it will be an all out 'OG' session if I can ever learn all of the shit I have to....to put it together properly!

Received the mannequin heads....the million dollar hard drive Camcorder.... Tri-Pod - Software programs. . . . . yada yada....I'm having a helluva time learning how to use the camera...I've been a still photographer for many years. Was a Pro ACTION photographer for years..... so using a "moving" camera is more bizarre than I predicted.
Its just different and I am just not the type to hack it out...I'm working on the lighting...the setting...etc

I'd like to have a spot "the girls"( dollheads) and I can just set up and go quickly ...so we can show you just about everything and anything you are going to want to know...doesn't that seem cool>?

If you want to put in a few highlights.....there will be a 5 minute vlog for you...
You want to become PLATINUM ? ..... a 5 minute vlog......
cover the grey.....???..............................a 5 minute vlog......
trim your own fringe (bangs).................yada yada
any and everything...we will explore......

am hoping with a "visual" it will sink-in that much better for you
I'm thinking of exploring a few other angles...we shall see....
hang in there.....
I'm trying to figure the camera out as fast as possible
then I have the Editing software to decipher
I'm just not the type to throw somethin' half-assed up there.........

Patience...is a virtue

Knowing "How-To-Color Hair" is NOT NECESSARY in order to pass State Board Of Cosmetology Tests to receive License to practice Hair in California

California's Test is supposed to be the hardest in the country, we have 10 times the applicants of other states, therefore the test is more difficult.

Call Yourself a Professional Home Hair Colorist if you can come up with the answers to a couple more hypothetical formulation examples....lets practice some more.

Many of you seem to understand the first example.Here is another example of LIFTING in the LEVEL System:

Your own natural virgin color hair is a LEVEL 4

You would like to be a "preferred" LEVEL 9 ( I prefer to be a Level 9 is one way of putting it)

What do you come up with?

This is where the BOXED kits do not work ( although they don't tell  you that, they make you think it will.....) and many of you end up with trashed color.  Your hair just did not get light enough and if it did ...it was a hideous shade of orange-y blond, & it sounds like 9 out of 10 of you end up putting brown back on top of it.....For what ends up taking a couple years of growing out to recover from (got that one right didn't I !!?!)

OK. Lets go over it.

  • Not all requests can be met EXACTLY as asked, which is not made clear to those of you that cannot afford a high dollar Colorist to tell you the honest truth.  Unfortunately many Stylists with not a lot of experience in color will be just as bad as if you ( with none of this guidance) were doing it...and I have met many clients who understand color better than many stylists I've met over the years. Knowing how to color hair is not necessary to pass the STATE BOARD of Cosmetology Test, which always blew me away. There is just something not right about a Board that oversees the entire world of Hair and doesn't require the new members to learn color. The whole Theory and evolution of hair color is young but its not THAT young. I could write a 100 page book on it just by using this blog.
  • Anyway here is the explanation of that problem....

Preferred level of color...................level 9 Blond

Natural level of color (subtract).......Level 4 Brown

Difference..........................................= 5 Levels

 

Preferred level of Color..................Level 9 Blond

Difference ( add)............................... + 5 Levels

Level to Use................................Level 14 Blond

 

There is NO LEVEL 14.... the levels only go to 12.

 See why sometimes hair color leaves you at some strange orange/yellow stage? The Boxed Kits do not tell you this...or warn you of this. I have so many people contact me about this type of problem...it was the main inspiration for me to start this Blog.

This is a common problem that needs to be brought up, so you all will understand. As a busy Colorist, we use many solutions to a problem like this, and offer them all to the client to come to a safe, and sane solution.

5 levels is a lot of lift and normally you will only get that many levels of Lift from Bleach....even high lift blondes only lift 3 maybe 4 levels and for now that is the most powerful "TINT" available.

The solutions?

 come up with a couple of your own....

we will review mine tomorrow......
