How to Babylight Dark Level 1 Hair

In this video I show you how to babylight on dark Level 1 hair to create the illusion of hair painting throughout the hair.

babylights on black hair

Talk about an all-day project! In this video, I show you how to do babylights on dark hair. I worked on this head of hair, starting from a level 1 with some grown-out highlights.  She wanted the illusion of hair painting and that’s simply not possible without foils.  So I took lots of foils throughout using a baby light technique and then finished with alternating teasy lights and babylights on top.

Formula:

I used 30vol in Simply Blonde Blue Powder Lightener and processed her for about an hour.  Pre-toned with SV Rapid Toner and Blue Booster at the bowl, and then finished her with a shadow root of 6A/7A into 8B/8VM in Demi on dry hair.

Watch the video below to see the in-depth step by step on how I achieved her final look.  Let me know in the comments below what you think.

P.S…What do you think about the lighting difference between the iPhone and Canon in the end? Pretty crazy how the light reflection of the blue booster, beige, and VM show through more on one versus the other, right? Either way, I love how light-reflective the color is in real life 👌🏼
