"Hi, this is Liz Muller, from Liz's Hair Design, in Hollywood, Florida. In this clip, I'm going to show you how to switch from brunette to red hair. Now, brunette hair is darker than your red hair as you see here. These are brunettes, and there are darker shades of brunettes you know, just real dark. Here's a lighter shade right here, and those are levels seven and six is right down here. Actually, this is a six and this is a five and four. And what you want to do now is you want to go ahead and to colorize some of that hair to put the red in, depending on the red that you would like. Maybe you want to make this a cool red, orban kind of red, you know a red like this. These are your cool reds here, you know more of this here, or you want to make it like a warmer red, a brighter reds, which are these here. These are kind of like warm reds, coppery reds right here, okay? Here's another shade of your coppery reds, okay. So, these are your coppery shades. You have to decolorize that hair. If you don't decolorize it you won't be able to go ahead and lift and get it to where you want to go. Just keep checking the hair as you're decolorizing it, and then you turn around and repigmentize it here by putting in this color that you want, the red that you want. Redo it often. Make sure you use good shampoos. Thank you. This is Liz Muller."
