[@tow143]

Great video! May i ask what brush you are using to melt with please?

[@lizcuero9065]

Beautiful! I would of used Olaplex #1 to protect the ends of her hair.

[@belajarfonny6187]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@maddiemelts]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Jennifer-bs3do]

Loved this!! Thank you 🫶How long does this full service take you?
And no foils in the back?

[@maddiemelts]

Anywhere from 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hrs depending on the hair density / processing time. I left the back out on this one because she had enough lightness existing and we were focusing mainly around the face :)

[@danamortel]

I love this! Can you do a tutorial on how to take videos for reels please 😊 and what do you use to take videos for your reels? 😊

[@maddiemelts]

I’ll keep this in mind! ❤️

[@antonellamusumeci1455]

❤

[@stephanieamaral1787]

Do you rinse the root before applying the global gloss?

[@rafalz9275]

Very nice job, btw- those foils are so long i would cut them and use for 2 heads😂

[@tiaralitonjua2307]

Love!!
How long do you leave the root melt on for?

[@maddiemelts]

Hi!!! I start the timer for 20 minutes once I have it all applied (before brushing through)

[@tiaralitonjua2307]

Thank you! So you leave the root on for 10 min before applying the end gloss altogether? Do you apply in the back first?

[@teresaannamae]

Do you use a towel or specialized glove to remove lightener from the hair when you remove the initial foils that are processed? I would love to know more about your process for this 😊

[@teresaannamae]

I have two more questions! I hope you don’t mind :) Do you condition or use a porosity equalizer after your shampoo the lightener out? Lastly, what brush do you use for the root melt? TYSM ☺️☺️

[@maddiemelts]

I use a dry towel to wipe off the lightener ☺️ it then dries once being exposed to the air outside of the foil and stops working

[@Lila-oi9xt]

hey question girly

[@willythebronc]

How thick of sections are you taking between your teasylights near the natural part?

[@maddiemelts]

About half 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch :)

[@stephanieamaral1787]

What board are you using?

[@maddiemelts]

Going to be launching one soon! Will share the details then ❤️

[@sharan.sharan]

11:32 what kind of conditioner are you using

[@maddiemelts]

I am using Sachajuans leave in conditioner

[@carriesaquing]

do you ever put your clients under heat?

[@maddiemelts]

Not really! If anything I use my blow dryer so I can control the heat and it would be towards the end of the processing

[@teresaannamae]

Came to ask this question! Amazing. Thank you! I find it so hard to stay on time without heat but I also find the heat is so compromising for the health of the hair sometimes.

[@user-fj8yu8rs3c]

You lost your camera we don’t see what you doing

[@karenfalco4810]
