- Опубліковано 14 січ 2020
- My client came in wanting the color “greige” which I had never heard of before. Today we are doing a retouch of that color we did at her previous appt.
How to apply her ROOT SHADOW, BALAYAGE thru her ends to add extra brightness and foiling thru her roots to soften them up.
Formulations included.

Love watching the whole process- it’s therapeutic!
So I love love LOVE your videos, especially the longer ones. The longer the video, the better, in my opinion anyways! I have been binge watching your channel, I think you’re the best as far as teaching and explaining your techniques, which are also my favorite techniques I’ve seen on youtube! Please always do longer detailed videos or at least do them often! I know I totally am always looking forward to seeing you pop up with a new video! Your amazing and I have learned so many great things from you. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to do this for us! 💜🖤💙
This is the EXACT color I always want and just can never seem to achieve on my own. Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL work!!
I'm so glad you asked that question all these months ago!! Your videos NOW, the longest ones, are my favorites!!! I like the 30-40 min ones too! I love them all, thank you so much, and it's so nice to see you helping all of us out! Seriously, I wish you had a Patreon.
Turned out nice. And yes we enjoy seeing the whole process. We can fast forward if we need too
Oh good to know! Thank you so much for the feed back!
Same. I enjoy the long format. I just FF thru if I need to. Voiceover during a long video is best. I like hearing you explain the thought process of choosing formulation, method, dealing with client, etc. You're sharing such valuable experience!!
Love seeing the full process. I won’t get bored.
Thank you for your feedback!
I’m not even a hair stylist and I like watching the whole process 😂. It’s probably more work for you to edit, so thank you. I really enjoy your videos because you are real... it’s like we get to go on the whole journey of decision making and even moments of anxiety with you while learning from your experience.
Hello and thank you so much for watching! I love seeing regular people here too and not always hair stylists! ❤️❤️❤️
I just recently started watching your videos and I can honestly say hands down you’re not even one of the best but the only best hairstylist on youtube to watch and learn from.
I always love your little selfie vids before you mix the toners or roots formulas.
I feel your energy and hard work to make sure we understand everything you’re saying. Sending you Lots of love and good vibes. ♥️♥️
Thank you so much! You don’t know how much comments like these mean to me. I really try hard to explain and come across as helpful as possible but some people just wish I would shut up lol. Thank you for appreciating my videos and for the most thoughtful comment!
I LOVE WATCHING THE WHOLE PROCESS ♥️♥️
Beautiful work’ it’s awesome to see how other stylist do things. We all have a different way getting from A to B! Awesome work! You can always time stamp for people watching who want to skip ahead. ❤️
Hello! And thank you so much! I agree, I always love watching others work!
the whole process is nice because if we need help then we can get it, and if not then we can simply skip forward! xx
Thank you for your feedback!
Beautiful like always! This is what I’m going for! I still can’t believe just a color remover turned my hair blonde after it was red. All I did was put a Demi color in 7A on my roots then a gold violet, Demi toner on my blonde. I think the reason why my hair turn back blonde was because I used to highlift red. So obviously what was under that was blonde. I’ll be using Schwarzkopf blonde me Lightner to do my baby lights when needed and Igora vibrance Demi toner in 9,5-1 as my toner. I also will be using Demi vibrance in 7 ash as my root tap. I just do a root tap, instead of pulling it down farther. I love the way you foil! That way when people wear their hair back, the highlights look good instead of looking like a straight up line.
Wow this is stunning!! 😍 The most perfect blonde 👌🏻
Thank you so much!
I love watching the whole process !’nn
Thank you!
I love your process of highlights and the useful tips you give in between ❤
Beautiful job btw!! I’m sorry I’m just commenting on some of these but I’m glad I came back to rewatch the show whole process!! ❤❤
I love to watch whole service, Thank you for sharing ❤
Love watching whole process too!,:)
Love this! And I'm a fan of the whole process. The best way to get tips from fellow stylists! 😊
Good to know, thank you so much!
I appreciate watching the whole process.
I appreciate that you do!
Like I’ve said before I’m not a hairstylist but I love watching you do hair. Whatever it is, I love watching it all!! (Plus it’s soothing to me anyways!! Even you talking!! Your voice sounds so similar to a friend of mines who I don’t get to talk to or see very much any more but hearing your voice is like hearing her but not idk how to explain it~hopefully uncreepy like😂)
i like watching the whole process!
I love watching the whole process. You do beautiful work I love watching you work.

Thank you! I would purposefully cut videos to like 10-15 minutes but now that I know you guys don't mind, however long or short the video is, I'm ok with. Thank you for your feedback!
Whole process beautiful work
Thank you so much!
I have a question. We’re you able to get a blonde/silver(platinum color by weaving out the existing base? I REALLY want to have a silver/blonde color with a level 9 with a tiny bit of level 5 or 6 root shadow all through the head so it peaks through underneath
I wish you lived near St. Louis! You’re so beyond talented. This is my favorite color
Oh wow! Thank you! I know doing this clients hair is one of my favorites too! The color that she came up with that she wanted was one I hadn't done before
hair by Kristi Jennings are you on Instagram?
Yes! I am @kristi.at.the.cottage
that looks so good , love the whole process ! I'm gonna use you're tips and tricks , thank you for sharing ! greetings from Belgium
Greetings! Thank you so much for watching!
I’m sorry to be a pain but I should have watched the whole thing before commenting! I think that going back at the end, when you were done, and adding the lightner was smart! It did the job safely!
AND, at the end, I realized that I had taken a screenshot of this color(w/your name and notes) and said “This is the exact look I want!! How do I get this?!?”
Thank you so much!!!
😂 I love it your videos are helping me too much ttttyyyy but I have a question for you what the Demi rosé gold will do here? ❤
Did you mix the toner with Demi, and how long did you leave it on?
One thing I cudnt get it that you painted the bleach pieces on top of the toner ?? Can you do that ?? Could you please explain?
Thank you for sharing your technique! Don’t you find that you get spotting when you brush through the lowlighted section without detangling it first?
I’m a perfectionist and just learning how to do root stretches/dimension drops and I find it sooooo incredibly hard to not get small little spots throughout the hair.
They aren’t visible in my end result, but the fact that I can see them drives me insane 🤡
Is this common with these type of services? Am I just overthinking it?
Thanks in advance :)
What volume developer for the root colors? And toners?
Ok idk when you posted this video so if I ask a ? If you will still be able to respond but hopefully you can so here goes…. So when I do a “money piece” I have my own kinda way of doing it… but I’ve been watching videos on your techniques of doing the money piece… and tried it on my friend and failed HORRIBLY!! I don’t think I left enough hair out in between each foil while doing around her hair line…. Do you have any suggestions?? And what do you prefer… while say doing a balayage & root shadow , do you prefer to do the front “money piece” first then the rest of the balayage? That always makes me soo nervous because I know that area processes that quickest. And 2nd or 3rd lol 😂 ?…. So after you do all the lightener, you wash out; shampoo only and then on damp hair you do the root shadow and tone the blonde at Same time correct?? Thank you!! I would greatly appreciate if you could answer!! ❤
Hmmm let me see if I can answer….. If you don’t over lap you should be fine with fooling around the face first. I always just do baby lights with hardly a subsection. I would let the root shadow sit and then tap the money piece the last 5 minutes or so. I shadow or tone different for every client tho……
Yes! Leave the content in! I hate watching everything skipped or sped up and crammed into 5 minutes. U do beautiful work!
that's so good to know! thank you so much for your feedback! I always think people don't want to watch repetitive application of coloring
@@hairbykristijennings6648 I could easily watch it all day lol. Hey try instead of brushing your root smudge across and horizontal like you are try going in vertically and going that way it makes a beatiful ribbon affect but keeps the top nice and bright. Just an idea I figured id share 😉
@@dsmith8570 I will have to try that trick! Thank you for sharing! Hopefully I can do it the way you have in mind
@@hairbykristijennings6648 let me know what u think I love it!
Maybe a better way to explain it is go diagnal backs instead of across the hair. I just thought of that lol
Girl I have the same pet peeve with people wasting foil !
where can i buy the igora vibrance shades without having to order online?
I get mine from my local professional beauty supply
Do you like Paul Mitchell toners better than shades ??
I've used shades only a few times so I don't think I could really give good feedback on it. However, I do like their 9T for grey's, it's freaking amazing. Or with 9P..... sooo pretty 😍😍😍
Is there a way I could achieve this without needing to do additional painting? Should I use a different formula? I’m already really bright but just want a light color tap to melt my roots with the platinum blonde
Hello! I would assume that you should be able to tap your roots without having to lighten. I've done that plenty of times
Thanks so much for responding!!! Last question- do you use an activator with this formula as well? If so how much??? Thanks so so much haha
Yes! I use the recommending solution and I believe 1:1
Hello, dear friend, the background of the hair is natural black, what color is suitable for the root contrast?
Oh I wouldn’t go darker than a 6 but ask the client what they want
And I know that you were probably nervous to bring the bleach through to the ends, but I would like to bring it to the bottom. I’ve seen blonde’s go light all the way to the ends. I have a bonding bleach..
full process fan! id love to know what volume developer you use on these highlights and balayages in each video as well !!!
Oh yayyyyyy! Il start doing longer videos! I always use schwarzkopf blondeme with 20 vol and olaplex
@@hairbykristijennings6648 thanks so much !!!! ive been binge watching your videos all morning with some coffee. thanks for the content
Oh no wayyyyy!!! That makes me honestly so happy to hear!
thankyou
Thank you!
Where can i buy this toners?
I like to watch the whole video , could you tell me what is the developer for root shadow ? What level , I use in the salon wella Color touch , thank you
Also do you need to activating stuff?
Yes always use manufacturer's recommended developer
@@hairbykristijennings6648 what percentage did you use of the activator?
Equal parts to the formulation. So 1:1
Hi I like shorter videos only because, I have ADD, lol It depends on the day if I’d sit through anything over 15 mins. You do great work though...💯
I’ve just tried this out but it didn’t really do anything/ turned it a bit gingery do you know why? Please help if you can xx
Hmmm, I'm not sure. Maybe too much gold was added? Keep in mind they the formulas used for my clients won't always be the same formula needed for your clients. Possible that you didn't need to add gold if she already had warmth in her hair?
@@hairbykristijennings6648 okay thank you, I’m doing this on myself however didn’t use the activator as I didn’t think I needed it. I have highlights but they are quite thick and very blonde so wanted to tone the roots down. I will order the activator and try again, how much activator did you use?
@@hairbykristijennings6648 also by gold do you mean the 7.0?
Yes. You'll always need whatever activator / developer that's recommended by manufacturer.
.0 is just natural to that level
I'd rather see the full video. I like to see all the steps
Thank you for the feedback! Been trying to include the full service!
@@hairbykristijennings6648 i love your voice and you are not boring. Keep up the good work. I am sharing your page. Its awesome!
@@mimi3-.-3 oh thank you so much! I appreciate that! ♥️♥️♥️
