Thank you, best tutorial I've found on this subject! Everyone keeps saying how much salon's charge to do this, I thought there must be a way for DIY. This is it! I'm a blonde and doughnut person. I'm super excited to do this, it's going to be relatively easy! (and cheap). Thanks again!
Thank you Julie!! Your specific directions are SO helpful. I've had no coloring in 4 months. My fabulous hairdresser and I were preparing for me to eventually go silver, so had only been using demi permanent color over the last 2 years, so my demarcation is subtle. I've scoured the internet - and your 'money-piece' highlights will be perfect. Like you I can see the dominant silver up front, and very minimal in the back. With COVID - it's gonna be a do it myself job!
Wow! Thank you so much, I've been looking for a video that shows how to transition. I've watched a ton but you explain things so well, especially about the dyed brown fading to reddish. That's what I've been struggling with and now I feel so much better about it. Again thank you so much!
thank you for the great tips and advice Julie! I never thought about being able to do it a little at a time a home. will you do some on cutting our own hair during this covid?
Will do and cutting your own hair is absolutely possible I've been cutting my own for years and I have seen other people doing a great job cutting their own hair and they're not a hair stylist.
Omg I have those same streaks. Now I know what to do. 2023 resolution is embracing my grey and I was thinking of the dey strip method. What do you think of that method? BTW u r amazing.
@Judith Colon Thank you!! I’m not sure what method you’re referring to but if it’s stripping all of the color off I’m not a fan. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com
@Julie The Hairapist It's a video and it's name is How to grow out Grey hair secretly by Suzan Barnes. I live in PR, I went to a couple of Beauty Supplie for advice and no one would give me advice on how to transition going Grey hahaha.
Hi Julie! This is a really empowering and informative series! I have a question - you need toon putting a grey toner on top of the yellow highlights. I’ve seen purple toners, silver permanent color, silver or platinum semi permanent color. What exactly do you mean by a grey toner? Do you have any specific types you recommend? Thanks so much!
Hi Katya, because the wild colors like pink, green, etc. became so popular the manufacturers starting making silver, grey, marble grey and a few other variations of grey. I love Pravana and Pulp Riot but the direct dyes are a product I would feel comfortable using any brand. I'm looking for color selection because it's a what you see is what you get product. You can Google Pravana silver vs smokey silver for an example. I mostly use Pravana Silver when toning yellow because most people want it light. But if you're not very light from the grey I prefer the smokey or marble grey colors.
Hi Julie! New here and 3 years later finding you. I have now been color-free for almost 2 years. This (Aug) will be my non-colorversary. I am naturally a level 5-6 dark brown. My outgrowth (no halo, is about 6 inches give or take...but I have the brown-auburn red (warm) tones. I am wanting to blend that vs bleach it all. I love my silver coming in , subtle, yet sparkly as my hair is dry, course and very thick! I cut it to just at my shoulders leaving about another 5 to 6 inches to work with. I do not have a lot of grey underneath from my ears down. It is mostly the top down to the temple (ear area). I would love to add a money piece and blend the back to a more Ashe medium brown. Is this possible? Your hair is gorgeous!!!!
Yes you can absolutely add a money piece and tone down the brassy color. Can you send me pics of your hair, then I can give you color choices and more accurate advice. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
I am brunette and had my hair done (highlights/bleached to blonde )for years. I have 20% white on both side of my head and the rest are black. I would like to do the transition but prefer to have more whites. My roots now is about 1 inch growth then dirty blonde level 8 to the ends. Can I have a highlight of silver and black and what colour of dye I will use. Your help is greatly appreciate. Take care❤️
@moonbeam3km I like a variety of shampoo and conditioners because hair does better with change. Redken, Aghadir, Pureology are some of my favorite brands. I like to use deep cleansing or volumizing shampoos and moisturizing when I pick the conditioner.
Hi dear Julie, yesterday I highlighted my two front pieces successfully, then toned with Pravana Silver. On dry hair, left it on 20 min. It’s not bright or silver, more of a dark bluish-gray. I’ll try lightening it with clarifying shampoo, but for my next highlights do you have any suggestions to make it lighter/brighter? Thank you!! ❤
@Mar Kee I would love to help you, can you please send me pics juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Wash with baking soda and dish soap mixture to get the dull color off. It could be the color grabbed too dark and the baking soda wash will be all you need. After you wash with the baking soda mixture (make sure you wash the all of the hair not the scalp, treat it like fabric and scrub the color off) then wash and condition with regular shampoo and conditioner. Let’s do this ❤️
This video is how to place the foils. In my how bleach works video I explain all the important steps of bleaching and all the products you need are in the description. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com. ruclips.net/video/ntaivoYXnSs/видео.html
I am so glad I found your channel. Do you know if this will work for hair that has previously been treated with henna? I am transitioning and my roots are about 3 inches of white silver, the rest of my hair is brown.
@Carolina Thomas yes you can match your Henna for your natural uncolored hair. You will apply to your new growth only, process then rinse. Yes it will wash out but that's the good news. Because it's all white and at the scalp, where hair is not very porous, you will want to use a decent amount of depth of color because the white will dilute the color. You can send me a pic of your hair and I can help you find the right color juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
Excellent money piece highlight videos 1, 2 and 3. Very clearly explained. What proportion do you mix the powder bleach and developer, please? Thank you
You mix to pancake consistency and not too much because after 20 -30 min in the open air the bleach stops working. Which is also why we put it in foil, as long as it's in foil and not dress it will work for hours. Fresh bleach for best lift, skinny amount in foil or it won't lift enough, bleach needs to be slightly thick but not paste and not too thin that it's runny. Please feel free to contact me through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com if you need any help along the way. Remember you can do a strand test first to learn what you and your hair can do.
This is so good . Is it possible to rid the existing warm brown by also adding alternating low lights at the d-line with a neutral level five color. Both the demarcation and the warm and cool tones are so hard to deal with. I’m sending this to my stylist. I can’t do this myself. Thanks in advance.
Yes, I don't talk about it because it can be confusing but to someone who understands hair it is not confusing. After you place your highlight then you can color the warm hair with deposit only color (hair color with 5 volume peroxide instead of 20 and you just add water to make the 20 volume be 5 volume). Apply from the line of demarcation to the ends but not through the ends. After you have applied to the midshaft all over then apply to the ends. The more porous the hair, the darker it will take the color so apply last fixes that problem. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤️
Hi, Julie, Thank you for all these grey transition tutorials. They are so instructive and encouraging to those who want to transition on our own or under the hands of a capable colorist. I went to the salon to have some baby grey highlights and lowlights and am ready to add more highlights since I am all grey. I purchased the Pravana Silver for toning my highlights. I've been using it to tone my highlights, apllying it on wet hair, diluted somewhat with conditioner., for 15 mins. How soon following this light highlighting can I add more highlights? I have colored my hair, but never used bleach. Can you outline the specific individual steps following bleaching. Do you rinse with warm or cold water? Do you wash the hair (what shampoo would you recommend). Do you use a purple shampoo? Do you condition at this step? Re toning: Do you apply the Pravana Silver on wet or dry hair. Do you use the toner at full strength or do you dilute the toner with conditioner? How long do you leave the toner on the bleached hair. Finally, how do you maintain the toner. Wet or dry hair, full strength or diluted, how long leave it on. Thanks very much, Julie.
@J Harris, sorry for the late response. You can add more highlights any time. When you're adding new highlights you MUST be careful of the previously highlighted hair if it ends up in the foil. What that means is the hair you picked up to put in the foil hat the dark new growth and old highlights. You paint all the new growth, then do your best to pull out the old highlights and push to the side of the foil, then paint the dark hair that's left. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤
Julie, I am 15 months into my gray transition. I am 37 and have most of my grays underneath and salt and pepper on the top of my head. My bangs are darker,but I would love to do a money piece to add dimension and brighten my look. Can you tell me if it's possible with my gray hair pattern?
Even if you don’t have the streaks naturally you can do it artificially and still not be committed to color. I love recommending the money piece or silver highlights for my clients that don’t find their natural color bright enough. Silver highlights are beautiful and match the tone of your natural color. In addition you only have to do it a couple times a year or just let it grow out. If you email me I can send you pics of a silver highlight. julietgehairapist@gmail.com
Love your hair. Julie. Hope mine looks that good. So far it’s soft and nice 9 months in. Transition is tough. My question is when my stylist uses toner it doesn’t last. Any suggestions?
@Joanne Leib so sorry for the late response, it's my son's Senior year of high school and he has me 🏃♀️. Yes don't have the salon tone, toning with light colors is like applying conditioner in the application. Intense colors like blue, red, green, etc will stain bleached and virgin hair but the toner we use to transition is silver which is really a very light lavender aka a pastel. So because it's such a light color it can't hang on. There are things you can do to help and or make it fade faster. When you apply the hair needs to be squeaky clean and NO conditioner. Rinse the direct dye out not shampoo, don't wash for a few days if possible. But the good news you can do this yourself, it will eventually last longer because you're able to apply more often which will help in the fading as well. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤️
I'm not a fan of doing anything permanent to the new growth. I prefer to either match the old color with temporary color at the new growth only. The other option is to lighten the hair as much as possible because our natural color is lighter than the artificial color. So any lightening will help with the transition. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
Amazing! I'm trying to transition into my gray hair. I have a streak of grays on the right in the front, does that mean that I only do this to that streak? Otherwise, I have grays sporadically throughout. I'm excited to begin with my transition!!
@Alma Ramirez, yes you only have to do your streak. I only did my streaks to transition. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Hi Julie,i have one question:im very white in the front.Im growing my hair out since 3 months.Do i have to place the foils on my natural whites as well or just on the darker pieces?Thanx in advance 🥰
Just on the dark hair so we don't change your natural color. Do your best to follow what is coming in. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Hi Julie, Thanks so much for this video. Most, if not all, of my growth is white. My hairdresser (when I could get to her before Covid-19) started coloring my hair very light and adding light highlights. My question is this: since my base color is almost totally white will I be able to use a silver toner on it and get a color that has some color dimension. I don't want to be solid white. Will I have to have dark highlights such as gray to give it color dimension? Thanks again.
Yes if you are completely white you would need to put in darker streaks for dimension but you don't need to do your whole head you could just do the front and underneath your part so you won't see the outgrowth. You could basically do similar to my dark streak, mine is my natural color but your placement could be the same.
@@juliethehairapist I grew out my white for two years but went back to coloring because of lack of dimension so I am very interested in this question. I'm growing it out again and this might be a great solution! How do I decide what color to use for the darker streak or low lighting? I am new to your channel and really enjoying it. Thanks.
@@Anita-silver hair color has a number system, level 1 is black and level 10 platinum blonde. More than likely you are somewhere between a level 5 and 7. If you go to your local beauty supply store and look at the swatches find the one that is closest to your dark colored hair that's the level of color for your hair. Because it's going on white hair it will be lighter than the swatch, you can fix that by adding some some darker color to your mix.
@@juliethehairapist Very helpful. I have a level 7 here at home so I think I'll go underneath and pull some color through. Thank you so much for your reply and channel.
Hi there!! Thank you so much for doing these videos!! I was wondering--Which video has the explanation of the doughnut? Also, I have NEVER been able to have a salon lift my natural dark brown hair without breakage. It is fine--even Olaplaex did not help. I have used Redken chromatics and Shades Eq for decades to have a dark 3N/ 4N hair color. I am 6 months into my grow out. The orange/red that my "dark" has faded is what I do not like. I do not really want to use direct dyes bc of it making my hair dry-- and I do not want the silver /salt and pepper to have any process or dye on it. --sorry. .In the past- I have tried shades eq in Moss and Ivy--also 9T but no luck. I am not sure if using the lower volume would make a difference--but I have been pondering just 2 highlights to help the demarcation line. First, I was going to use Malibu CPR. I was thinking of trying it on a test strand first. Anyhow, thank you!
The reason why I love direct dyes is they will not mess up my natural color. Especially when I'm toning for transition. Shades EQ is a semi permanent color and can leave a line of demarcation. It sounds like you would like the Biolage Plant based color, it only works on porous or lightened hair and it's mixed with hot water. Jack Martin uses this type of color most of the time. If you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email jjjcozzo@gmail.com I can give you better advice.
So if this is my first application since dying black, I use the developer mixed with the bleach until it lifts to the blonde color. Rinse and condition. Then later or the next day place foils in the same spot but this time use the vivid silver only then process? Does my hair need to be dry before applying the vivid silver or wet? I've been dying my own hair for 30 years with cream and developer. I know I can do it. I just want to be sure since this is my first time bleaching. Thank you!
1st step, place the highlight in the foil. 2nd wait for the color and you might need to reapply if it's stops lifting after an hour. 3rd wash packets out at light yellow but don't condition. 4th apply toner to highlights not worrying about it getting on other parts of the hair. Also watch the why your stylist or you can't get your hair light enough I go over some more details about bleaching. Thank you for your support and please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Thank you. Great videos. I have a little different scenario. My hair is more like yours in the back. About 50-60% grey. I only have a couple of small white streakes in the front. Hardly noticeable. I would very much like to accentuate the white in the front so I do have to bleach the roots as well. Just to create a little brightness around my face and to create this style. Do you have some tipps for someone like me also? 🙏🏻
Julie The Hairapist oh thank you very much 🙏🏻🌸 you are so nice. I would love that. I need some light and freshness. I have recently cut my own hair as well. It is difficult to go to a salon these days. I will take some pictures to send you tomorrow. It is evening now in my part of the world. I am in Denmark. 😊
Julie The Hairapist you are soo nice. Thank you ❤️🙏🏻 I cut a bob by making ponytails in the neck and cutting it 😆 not perfect at all. It is ok in the front but the back is kind of weird.
A toner can be any type of color, permanent, semi, demi or direct dyes. The difference between direct dyes and all the rest is they are truly temporary because they have no developer. They only work on white or porous hair.
@Veronica Santacruz once you have put in a light yellow highlight, you can use any brand silver direct dye/temporary color. Unfortunately the industry will mislabel color and it will be labeled semi-permanent, direct dye or temporary color. How to know is a true temporary/direct dye HAS NO developer, no mixing. Whatever comes out of the tube ot bottle that is the color. A silver direct dye/temporary color will come out a lavender color because that will cancel the yellow highlight color and will result in a silver highlight. If you are trying to camouflage your new growth and don't have a highlight then you will want to use a temporary brown color on your new growth only. This will cover your grey but will completely wash out. So after your hair grows out you will just stop coloring. Yes you still have to color but it's an easier application and looks more natural. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
Not a silly question, if you're strand testing for lightness using bleach then find the darkest hair that is easy for you to see and grab. If you're strand testing for toning then find the lightest section of yellow that you can see. Your strand test section should be at least a 1/2" x 1/2" in size.
Hi Julie this is so awesome i just want to know do you take the slices out in one pice or do you weave the higlights not sure do you have a video on this showing on a model please reply thx so much
Hi Desire, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking can you explain a little more about your question? Once I know exactly what you need I can make a video to show you.
@nothing works works The silver will be greet on the yellow but not orange. The silver color is actually a light lavender color and it cancels the yellow and leaves us looking silver. But orange requires blue to cancel the orange. If you choose a blue toner to cancel the orange, the yellow part will look slightly green (yellow+blue =green). If you use the lavender to cancel the yellow, the orange will still be orange. If you’re trying to tone yellow-orange ends I would choose the silver knowing it will do a great job on the yellow and not so great on the orange. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice for color options. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
I have gone to a salon and got his day no one can’t give me what I want. I was wondering if you could help me or guide me in the process . Could I use a cap and pull hair through?? Please help me!!!!

Hi Julie, I've watched your three videos and plan to do the face framing highlights because that's where my lightest silvers are. Amazingly, I have No gray under the back of my naturally dark brown (growing out) hair. Weird. Anyway, After I bleach the "money areas", I wait a day to put in the silver toner, is what I'm gathering. Two questions: 1. What amount of 20% developer do I add to the powdered bleach- do I add enough for a light frosting consistency? and And the Pravana Silver Toner, was it called "Moody Blue Chromasilk Express Tones 5 Minute"? Do I add anything to this? My hair is a light dyed auburn with 1.5" growout. Thanks
You can tone with the silver direct dye immediately after you wash out the bleach. Mix your bleach and peroxide to pancake or cake mix consistency. Pravana Vivids is what silver direct dye I used. There are other lines that make a silver color but I like Pravana Vivids. Direct Dye is what the color/toner is called they are a what you see is what you get, whatever comes out of the tube is the color. No developer and they are mostly used to create the wild colors like pink, purple, etc. but they make a silver color as well.
@@juliethehairapist Thank you for helping me with this! It's overwhelming and frightening. I've ordered the Pravana Silver and Smokey Silver Direct Dyes, will get the bleaching powder and foils tomorrow. You're a great Blessing to me and so many! God Bless!
@@Irish-Triplet remember you can do a test strand first. That will teach you everything in to be successful and you won't stress. You will be working on just one slice of hair, that will reveal how your hair lightens, timing, etc. Also the color I suggested was Silver not Smokey Silver but you can still use the Smokey Silver. It's a darker silver more of a metal silver. I would put it on wet hair and not leave it on very long that will keep it from going too dark and too drab if you don't want it to be more of a medal silver then exchange it for Silver. If you Google Pravan silver vs smoky silver it will show you the difference in the color. Please feel free to contact me through Facebook or email with pics of your hair for help along the way.
@@juliethehairapist Thanks for your additional advice! My only "silver" hair is on the left side of my bangs and temple. The rest is salt and pepper on the crown, which is mostly 2/3 pepper, 1/3 salt. For that reason, I purchased the smokey silver. I'll probably put some silver in with the crown, just so it doesn't look so "medal" like/muddy and dark, like you're saying. The bottom half of my hair below the cranium, is mostly brunette with very little grey. I won't worry so much about that. I'm definitely open to suggestions and will do the strand test. What is your email? Thanks!
You can definitely use a direct dye to get rid of your brassy hair. We just need to pick the right color. Can you send me pics of your hair juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
I'm a highlighted blond (naturally a 7 that pulls red), now sporting the grey donut. What type of bleach do you recommend for the highlights and what type of silver toner please?
Hi Debbie, I'm not super picky about the brand of bleach and developer. The bleach needs to be powder and I like using direct dyes for toning because they have no developer. My favorite direct dyes are Pravana Vivids Silver and Pulp Riot. I just added some product links to my most recent video.
Question I am 1 yr 4 months in GREY Transition Went to salon, colorist said I was only 8 percent grey I have a grey money piece underneath so colorist said to wear my hair half up so it shows. She wants me not to cut come back to her in October to cut out my colored part. I have mid neck bob dark blonde color. DOES MY HAIR HAVE TO HAVE NO COLORED PART, BE COMPLETELY GREY BEFORE DOING FACE FRAMING MONEY PIECES. PLS LET ME KNOW THX DEBORAH
Sorry and thank you I didn't hit send! No you don't need to wait and sounds like your stylist doesn't quite know how to help you but I do! Can you send me pics of your hair and what is your goal for your transition? And I can help you with a road map for your stylist or help you do it yourself. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Hi Julie, I have experience doing highlights and will be doing highlights on my sister that’s transitioning to gray. She has the halo gray and has brown redish all over. What toning color do you recommend? What is your IG page?
@raquel Piron I like using direct dyes to tone my transitions because they make the feel great, will not mess up the natural color and can be redone at home as often as you want. Pravana, Silver is my favorite but I also like Pulp Riot, Mercury and one from Sally's iroiro, Silver. I would do back to back balayage foils off her halo and then as much as you want underneath. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤ One more thing watch my "how bleach works" video for some important tips on bleach.
I don’t actually have gray streaks, my grays are more peppered throughout my crown and sides? How would I get started with the highlights process, please and ty lolol
@T J A great solution is a highlight around your face but toned with a silver direct dye/temporary color. This will add interest to your color, match the tone of your natural color and will only to be touched up a couple times a year. If you email me I can send you pics of an example juliethehairapist@gmail.com
I'm not picky about the brand because they all work and one isn't more harsh than another. The most important part is to not use higher than 20 volume. And please watch the why you can't get it light enough. There are many physical things that go wrong when using bleach. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Hi Susana, Color remover works but I don't like to use it because it thrust you into another chemical. That chemical will also need to be toned because the only color a color remover can bring up is orange. 1st we use a colour remover wash it out, then we put in the highlight, then we color the orange hair in between the foils to a normal color, wash everything out and then tone the light yellow highlighted hair to silver. I prefer to give the client a heavy highlight that drowns out the old color and blends the new growth until they grow out their own color. You only have to highlight once to blend so it's less time, less costly, and better on the hair.
My highlights are always yellow.. They said to use purple shampoo it will take it away..it does not.. I wanted salt and pepper.. My hair is dark. Don't know how to get the color I want..
You are correct about the purple shampoo and it doesn’t work for me either. You will love using direct dyes which sometimes are labeled semi permanent, but they are actually a direct dye to get rid of the yellow. A direct dye is a color that has no developer and what that means is, its color only. Because it has no developer it will not change your natural color and it will be conditioning to your hair. Here’s a couple links that explain how I use them on my hair. ruclips.net/video/VCdaoCcU7gM/видео.htmlsi=cVECT_O3BKHNGnro ruclips.net/video/xxVG98g0Ink/видео.htmlsi=QpiSQe1ZvQwxyNVA If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice on how to achieve what you want. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Because it’s going in a foil it doesn’t touch the scalp and gets washed off. There are bleach products designed to go on the scalp but that is for a all over blonde (Marilyn Monroe” type color.
Hi Donna, I would love to do your hair, I'm in California so that's probably not something you want to do. But my former employee and friend that I trained lives in Fort Myers.
@Zoe Zzzzarko Great question! There are lots of ways to transition, that process would result in you having less brightness on the new growth, still having 100% dark ends and a line of demarcation. The reason I don't choose that direction is because all transitions are moving from artificial dark hair to naturally lighter hair no matter the artificial color and natural color. By adding lightness to the artificial color from the line of demarcation instead of adding darkness to the natural color, will result in a brighter color, the line of demarcation will be gone and a faster transition. I would go the temporary color route if you want to add color as opposed to removing color. Instead of adding lowlights, it's easier, faster, less expensive and will look great if you use a temporary color on your new growth only. It will make your white hair look like a highlight and camouflage the line of demarcation. You can do just the area that shows or your whole head but new growth only.
@@juliethehairapist now this... sounds like a great idea!! Thank you for the thorough, well thought out, explanation. Thank you for giving me another option !! Now ... how to choose a temporary color 🤓😲🤣
Absolutely if you're more comfortable with a cap that's great. Make sure your hair is combed the way you wear it so that after you put the cap you know what area to focus on when you're pulling the hair thru the cap.

@Julie The Hairapist It's a video and it's name is How to grow out Grey hair secretly by Suzan Barnes. I live in PR, I went to a couple of Beauty Supplie for advice and no one would give me advice on how to transition going Grey hahaha.
Hi Julie! This is a really empowering and informative series! I have a question - you need toon putting a grey toner on top of the yellow highlights. I’ve seen purple toners, silver permanent color, silver or platinum semi permanent color. What exactly do you mean by a grey toner? Do you have any specific types you recommend? Thanks so much!
Hi Katya, because the wild colors like pink, green, etc. became so popular the manufacturers starting making silver, grey, marble grey and a few other variations of grey. I love Pravana and Pulp Riot but the direct dyes are a product I would feel comfortable using any brand. I'm looking for color selection because it's a what you see is what you get product. You can Google Pravana silver vs smokey silver for an example. I mostly use Pravana Silver when toning yellow because most people want it light. But if you're not very light from the grey I prefer the smokey or marble grey colors.
Hi Julie! New here and 3 years later finding you. I have now been color-free for almost 2 years. This (Aug) will be my non-colorversary. I am naturally a level 5-6 dark brown. My outgrowth (no halo, is about 6 inches give or take...but I have the brown-auburn red (warm) tones. I am wanting to blend that vs bleach it all. I love my silver coming in , subtle, yet sparkly as my hair is dry, course and very thick! I cut it to just at my shoulders leaving about another 5 to 6 inches to work with. I do not have a lot of grey underneath from my ears down. It is mostly the top down to the temple (ear area). I would love to add a money piece and blend the back to a more Ashe medium brown. Is this possible? Your hair is gorgeous!!!!
Yes you can absolutely add a money piece and tone down the brassy color. Can you send me pics of your hair, then I can give you color choices and more accurate advice. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
I think this is the best way to do it.
Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
Dear Julie, thank you very much for sharing. Very informative. I am new your subscriber. Take care
I am brunette and had my hair done (highlights/bleached to blonde )for years. I have 20% white on both side of my head and the rest are black. I would like to do the transition but prefer to have more whites. My roots now is about 1 inch growth then dirty blonde level 8 to the ends. Can I have a highlight of silver and black and what colour of dye I will use. Your help is greatly appreciate. Take care❤️
Sorry I forgot to mention.. roots regrowth both sides of my head is white. Top and back of my head and is black.
I love your hair. Be going silvery gray for at least a year and a half. I was wondering what everyday products you use.
@moonbeam3km I like a variety of shampoo and conditioners because hair does better with change. Redken, Aghadir, Pureology are some of my favorite brands. I like to use deep cleansing or volumizing shampoos and moisturizing when I pick the conditioner.
Hi dear Julie, yesterday I highlighted my two front pieces successfully, then toned with Pravana Silver. On dry hair, left it on 20 min. It’s not bright or silver, more of a dark bluish-gray. I’ll try lightening it with clarifying shampoo, but for my next highlights do you have any suggestions to make it lighter/brighter? Thank you!! ❤
@Mar Kee I would love to help you, can you please send me pics juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Wash with baking soda and dish soap mixture to get the dull color off. It could be the color grabbed too dark and the baking soda wash will be all you need. After you wash with the baking soda mixture (make sure you wash the all of the hair not the scalp, treat it like fabric and scrub the color off) then wash and condition with regular shampoo and conditioner. Let’s do this ❤️
@@juliethehairapist thank you!! Will do! 🙏
Hi Julie, what do you exactly use instead of bleach to dye your hair, flour and blue dye? Can you please list the ingredients? Many thanks :)

Thank you Julie great video x
I am so glad I found your channel. Do you know if this will work for hair that has previously been treated with henna? I am transitioning and my roots are about 3 inches of white silver, the rest of my hair is brown.
@Carolina Thomas yes you can match your Henna for your natural uncolored hair. You will apply to your new growth only, process then rinse. Yes it will wash out but that's the good news. Because it's all white and at the scalp, where hair is not very porous, you will want to use a decent amount of depth of color because the white will dilute the color. You can send me a pic of your hair and I can help you find the right color juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
I found the video about the doughnut. Thank you and God Bless
Excellent money piece highlight videos 1, 2 and 3. Very clearly explained. What proportion do you mix the powder bleach and developer, please? Thank you
You mix to pancake consistency and not too much because after 20 -30 min in the open air the bleach stops working. Which is also why we put it in foil, as long as it's in foil and not dress it will work for hours. Fresh bleach for best lift, skinny amount in foil or it won't lift enough, bleach needs to be slightly thick but not paste and not too thin that it's runny. Please feel free to contact me through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com if you need any help along the way. Remember you can do a strand test first to learn what you and your hair can do.
Brilliant thank you the video fantastic 😊❤️🌈
Thank you for watching!❤
another great video :) connie
This is so good . Is it possible to rid the existing warm brown by also adding alternating low lights at the d-line with a neutral level five color. Both the demarcation and the warm and cool tones are so hard to deal with. I’m sending this to my stylist. I can’t do this myself. Thanks in advance.
Yes, I don't talk about it because it can be confusing but to someone who understands hair it is not confusing. After you place your highlight then you can color the warm hair with deposit only color (hair color with 5 volume peroxide instead of 20 and you just add water to make the 20 volume be 5 volume). Apply from the line of demarcation to the ends but not through the ends. After you have applied to the midshaft all over then apply to the ends. The more porous the hair, the darker it will take the color so apply last fixes that problem. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤️
Hi, Julie, Thank you for all these grey transition tutorials. They are so instructive and encouraging to those who want to transition on our own or under the hands of a capable colorist. I went to the salon to have some baby grey highlights and lowlights and am ready to add more highlights since I am all grey. I purchased the Pravana Silver for toning my highlights. I've been using it to tone my highlights, apllying it on wet hair, diluted somewhat with conditioner., for 15 mins.
How soon following this light highlighting can I add more highlights?
I have colored my hair, but never used bleach.
Can you outline the specific individual steps following bleaching. Do you rinse with warm or cold water? Do you wash the hair (what shampoo would you recommend). Do you use a purple shampoo? Do you condition at this step?
Re toning: Do you apply the Pravana Silver on wet or dry hair. Do you use the toner at full strength or do you dilute the toner with conditioner? How long do you leave the toner on the bleached hair.
Finally, how do you maintain the toner. Wet or dry hair, full strength or diluted, how long leave it on. Thanks very much, Julie.
@J Harris, sorry for the late response. You can add more highlights any time. When you're adding new highlights you MUST be careful of the previously highlighted hair if it ends up in the foil. What that means is the hair you picked up to put in the foil hat the dark new growth and old highlights. You paint all the new growth, then do your best to pull out the old highlights and push to the side of the foil, then paint the dark hair that's left. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤
Thank you sharing this Video
Thank you!
Julie, I am 15 months into my gray transition. I am 37 and have most of my grays underneath and salt and pepper on the top of my head. My bangs are darker,but I would love to do a money piece to add dimension and brighten my look. Can you tell me if it's possible with my gray hair pattern?
Even if you don’t have the streaks naturally you can do it artificially and still not be committed to color. I love recommending the money piece or silver highlights for my clients that don’t find their natural color bright enough. Silver highlights are beautiful and match the tone of your natural color. In addition you only have to do it a couple times a year or just let it grow out. If you email me I can send you pics of a silver highlight. julietgehairapist@gmail.com
Love your hair. Julie. Hope mine looks that good. So far it’s soft and nice 9 months in. Transition is tough. My question is when my stylist uses toner it doesn’t last. Any suggestions?
@Joanne Leib so sorry for the late response, it's my son's Senior year of high school and he has me 🏃♀️. Yes don't have the salon tone, toning with light colors is like applying conditioner in the application. Intense colors like blue, red, green, etc will stain bleached and virgin hair but the toner we use to transition is silver which is really a very light lavender aka a pastel. So because it's such a light color it can't hang on. There are things you can do to help and or make it fade faster. When you apply the hair needs to be squeaky clean and NO conditioner. Rinse the direct dye out not shampoo, don't wash for a few days if possible. But the good news you can do this yourself, it will eventually last longer because you're able to apply more often which will help in the fading as well. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤️
Thank you so much!
If I have reddish yellow grow out should I lowlight the grow out or highlight? Natural level 6 salt pepper, love you channel
I'm not a fan of doing anything permanent to the new growth. I prefer to either match the old color with temporary color at the new growth only. The other option is to lighten the hair as much as possible because our natural color is lighter than the artificial color. So any lightening will help with the transition. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
Amazing! I'm trying to transition into my gray hair. I have a streak of grays on the right in the front, does that mean that I only do this to that streak? Otherwise, I have grays sporadically throughout. I'm excited to begin with my transition!!

Hi Julie,i have one question:im very white in the front.Im growing my hair out since 3 months.Do i have to place the foils on my natural whites as well or just on the darker pieces?Thanx in advance 🥰
Just on the dark hair so we don't change your natural color. Do your best to follow what is coming in. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Hi Julie, Thanks so much for this video. Most, if not all, of my growth is white. My hairdresser (when I could get to her before Covid-19) started coloring my hair very light and adding light highlights. My question is this: since my base color is almost totally white will I be able to use a silver toner on it and get a color that has some color dimension. I don't want to be solid white. Will I have to have dark highlights such as gray to give it color dimension? Thanks again.
Yes if you are completely white you would need to put in darker streaks for dimension but you don't need to do your whole head you could just do the front and underneath your part so you won't see the outgrowth. You could basically do similar to my dark streak, mine is my natural color but your placement could be the same.
@@juliethehairapist I grew out my white for two years but went back to coloring because of lack of dimension so I am very interested in this question. I'm growing it out again and this might be a great solution! How do I decide what color to use for the darker streak or low lighting? I am new to your channel and really enjoying it. Thanks.
@@Anita-silver hair color has a number system, level 1 is black and level 10 platinum blonde. More than likely you are somewhere between a level 5 and 7. If you go to your local beauty supply store and look at the swatches find the one that is closest to your dark colored hair that's the level of color for your hair. Because it's going on white hair it will be lighter than the swatch, you can fix that by adding some some darker color to your mix.
@@juliethehairapist Very helpful. I have a level 7 here at home so I think I'll go underneath and pull some color through. Thank you so much for your reply and channel.
Love it 😍 🙏🙏
Thank you ❤️
Hi there!! Thank you so much for doing these videos!! I was wondering--Which video has the explanation of the doughnut? Also, I have NEVER been able to have a salon lift my natural dark brown hair without breakage. It is fine--even Olaplaex did not help. I have used Redken chromatics and Shades Eq for decades to have a dark 3N/ 4N hair color. I am 6 months into my grow out. The orange/red that my "dark" has faded is what I do not like. I do not really want to use direct dyes bc of it making my hair dry-- and I do not want the silver /salt and pepper to have any process or dye on it. --sorry. .In the past- I have tried shades eq in Moss and Ivy--also 9T but no luck. I am not sure if using the lower volume would make a difference--but I have been pondering just 2 highlights to help the demarcation line. First, I was going to use Malibu CPR. I was thinking of trying it on a test strand first. Anyhow, thank you!
The reason why I love direct dyes is they will not mess up my natural color. Especially when I'm toning for transition. Shades EQ is a semi permanent color and can leave a line of demarcation. It sounds like you would like the Biolage Plant based color, it only works on porous or lightened hair and it's mixed with hot water. Jack Martin uses this type of color most of the time. If you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email jjjcozzo@gmail.com I can give you better advice.
So if this is my first application since dying black, I use the developer mixed with the bleach until it lifts to the blonde color. Rinse and condition. Then later or the next day place foils in the same spot but this time use the vivid silver only then process? Does my hair need to be dry before applying the vivid silver or wet? I've been dying my own hair for 30 years with cream and developer. I know I can do it. I just want to be sure since this is my first time bleaching. Thank you!
1st step, place the highlight in the foil.
2nd wait for the color and you might need to reapply if it's stops lifting after an hour.
3rd wash packets out at light yellow but don't condition.
4th apply toner to highlights not worrying about it getting on other parts of the hair.
Also watch the why your stylist or you can't get your hair light enough I go over some more details about bleaching.
Thank you for your support and please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
What if it's the bottom of your gray hair? Its all pale yellow. Do I put it on that part only. The direct color product.
Yes I would put in on that are only but you don’t have to worry about if it gets on your natural color.
Thank you. Great videos.
I have a little different scenario. My hair is more like yours in the back. About 50-60% grey. I only have a couple of small white streakes in the front. Hardly noticeable. I would very much like to accentuate the white in the front so I do have to bleach the roots as well. Just to create a little brightness around my face and to create this style. Do you have some tipps for someone like me also? 🙏🏻
Yes let's do this! juliethehairapist@gmail.com send me pics of your hair.
Julie The Hairapist oh thank you very much 🙏🏻🌸 you are so nice. I would love that. I need some light and freshness. I have recently cut my own hair as well. It is difficult to go to a salon these days.

Are direct dyes the same as toners? Do toners have peroxide, developers or bleach?
A toner can be any type of color, permanent, semi, demi or direct dyes. The difference between direct dyes and all the rest is they are truly temporary because they have no developer. They only work on white or porous hair.
I am just starting my transition to gray. What product do you recommend to use for gray highlights at home?
I am dark brunette by the way.
@Veronica Santacruz once you have put in a light yellow highlight, you can use any brand silver direct dye/temporary color. Unfortunately the industry will mislabel color and it will be labeled semi-permanent, direct dye or temporary color. How to know is a true temporary/direct dye HAS NO developer, no mixing. Whatever comes out of the tube ot bottle that is the color. A silver direct dye/temporary color will come out a lavender color because that will cancel the yellow highlight color and will result in a silver highlight.
If you are trying to camouflage your new growth and don't have a highlight then you will want to use a temporary brown color on your new growth only. This will cover your grey but will completely wash out. So after your hair grows out you will just stop coloring. Yes you still have to color but it's an easier application and looks more natural. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
Thanks for sharing these great tips! This may be a silly question, but where do you recommend we do a test area?
Not a silly question, if you're strand testing for lightness using bleach then find the darkest hair that is easy for you to see and grab. If you're strand testing for toning then find the lightest section of yellow that you can see. Your strand test section should be at least a 1/2" x 1/2" in size.
Hi Julie this is so awesome i just want to know do you take the slices out in one pice or do you weave the higlights not sure do you have a video on this showing on a model please reply thx so much
Hi Desire, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking can you explain a little more about your question? Once I know exactly what you need I can make a video to show you.
Hi Julie, do you instruct how much developer to go with the bleach?
Yes here’s a link that explains bleach in more detail. Please feel free to contact me with any questions .
How Bleach Works
ruclips.net/video/ntaivoYXnSs/видео.html
Will the silver over dye tone out the yellowing/orange in the mid to ends? How to I get rid of all that warmth?
@nothing works works The silver will be greet on the yellow but not orange. The silver color is actually a light lavender color and it cancels the yellow and leaves us looking silver. But orange requires blue to cancel the orange. If you choose a blue toner to cancel the orange, the yellow part will look slightly green (yellow+blue =green). If you use the lavender to cancel the yellow, the orange will still be orange. If you’re trying to tone yellow-orange ends I would choose the silver knowing it will do a great job on the yellow and not so great on the orange. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice for color options. juliethehairapist@gmail.com

Hi Julie, I've watched your three videos and plan to do the face framing highlights because that's where my lightest silvers are. Amazingly, I have No gray under the back of my naturally dark brown (growing out) hair. Weird. Anyway, After I bleach the "money areas", I wait a day to put in the silver toner, is what I'm gathering.
Two questions: 1. What amount of 20% developer do I add to the powdered bleach- do I add enough for a light frosting consistency? and And the Pravana Silver Toner, was it called "Moody Blue Chromasilk Express Tones 5 Minute"? Do I add anything to this? My hair is a light dyed auburn with 1.5" growout. Thanks
You can tone with the silver direct dye immediately after you wash out the bleach. Mix your bleach and peroxide to pancake or cake mix consistency. Pravana Vivids is what silver direct dye I used. There are other lines that make a silver color but I like Pravana Vivids. Direct Dye is what the color/toner is called they are a what you see is what you get, whatever comes out of the tube is the color. No developer and they are mostly used to create the wild colors like pink, purple, etc. but they make a silver color as well.
@@juliethehairapist Thank you for helping me with this! It's overwhelming and frightening. I've ordered the Pravana Silver and Smokey Silver Direct Dyes, will get the bleaching powder and foils tomorrow. You're a great Blessing to me and so many! God Bless!
@@Irish-Triplet remember you can do a test strand first. That will teach you everything in to be successful and you won't stress. You will be working on just one slice of hair, that will reveal how your hair lightens, timing, etc. Also the color I suggested was Silver not Smokey Silver but you can still use the Smokey Silver. It's a darker silver more of a metal silver. I would put it on wet hair and not leave it on very long that will keep it from going too dark and too drab if you don't want it to be more of a medal silver then exchange it for Silver. If you Google Pravan silver vs smoky silver it will show you the difference in the color. Please feel free to contact me through Facebook or email with pics of your hair for help along the way.
@@juliethehairapist Thanks for your additional advice! My only "silver" hair is on the left side of my bangs and temple. The rest is salt and pepper on the crown, which is mostly 2/3 pepper, 1/3 salt. For that reason, I purchased the smokey silver. I'll probably put some silver in with the crown, just so it doesn't look so "medal" like/muddy and dark, like you're saying. The bottom half of my hair below the cranium, is mostly brunette with very little grey. I won't worry so much about that. I'm definitely open to suggestions and will do the strand test. What is your email? Thanks!

I'm a highlighted blond (naturally a 7 that pulls red), now sporting the grey donut. What type of bleach do you recommend for the highlights and what type of silver toner please?
Hi Debbie, I'm not super picky about the brand of bleach and developer. The bleach needs to be powder and I like using direct dyes for toning because they have no developer. My favorite direct dyes are Pravana Vivids Silver and Pulp Riot. I just added some product links to my most recent video.
Question
I am 1 yr 4 months in GREY Transition
Went to salon, colorist said I was only 8 percent grey
I have a grey money piece underneath so colorist said to wear my hair half up so it shows. She wants me not to cut come back to her in October to cut out my colored part. I have mid neck bob dark blonde color.

Hi Julie, I have experience doing highlights and will be doing highlights on my sister that’s transitioning to gray. She has the halo gray and has brown redish all over. What toning color do you recommend? What is your IG page?
@raquel Piron I like using direct dyes to tone my transitions because they make the feel great, will not mess up the natural color and can be redone at home as often as you want. Pravana, Silver is my favorite but I also like Pulp Riot, Mercury and one from Sally's iroiro, Silver. I would do back to back balayage foils off her halo and then as much as you want underneath.

What bleach do I use for the highlights. I’m getting gray hair and would like to stop colouring and be natural
I'm not picky about the brand because they all work and one isn't more harsh than another. The most important part is to not use higher than 20 volume. And please watch the why you can't get it light enough. There are many physical things that go wrong when using bleach.

I just found your channel and I'm so excited, I'm 35 and about a year into growing out my grey.
So happy for you! Even as a stylist I was tired of coloring my hair so lucky you that you figured it out sooner rather than later. ❤
Would color remover help? And then the highlights?
Hi Susana, Color remover works but I don't like to use it because it thrust you into another chemical. That chemical will also need to be toned because the only color a color remover can bring up is orange. 1st we use a colour remover wash it out, then we put in the highlight, then we color the orange hair in between the foils to a normal color, wash everything out and then tone the light yellow highlighted hair to silver. I prefer to give the client a heavy highlight that drowns out the old color and blends the new growth until they grow out their own color. You only have to highlight once to blend so it's less time, less costly, and better on the hair.
My highlights are always yellow..
They said to use purple shampoo it will take it away..it does not..
I wanted salt and pepper..
My hair is dark.
Don't know how to get the color I want..
You are correct about the purple shampoo and it doesn’t work for me either. You will love using direct dyes which sometimes are labeled semi permanent, but they are actually a direct dye to get rid of the yellow. A direct dye is a color that has no developer and what that means is, its color only. Because it has no developer it will not change your natural color and it will be conditioning to your hair. Here’s a couple links that explain how I use them on my hair.

Is there a scalp sensitive bleach?
Because it’s going in a foil it doesn’t touch the scalp and gets washed off. There are bleach products designed to go on the scalp but that is for a all over blonde (Marilyn Monroe” type color.

@@juliethehairapist I sent the email. Thank you so much!
Can't we just go in and lowlight with our natural color between the streaks/chunks of grey ???
@Zoe Zzzzarko Great question! There are lots of ways to transition, that process would result in you having less brightness on the new growth, still having 100% dark ends and a line of demarcation.
The reason I don't choose that direction is because all transitions are moving from artificial dark hair to naturally lighter hair no matter the artificial color and natural color. By adding lightness to the artificial color from the line of demarcation instead of adding darkness to the natural color, will result in a brighter color, the line of demarcation will be gone and a faster transition.
I would go the temporary color route if you want to add color as opposed to removing color. Instead of adding lowlights, it's easier, faster, less expensive and will look great if you use a temporary color on your new growth only. It will make your white hair look like a highlight and camouflage the line of demarcation. You can do just the area that shows or your whole head but new growth only.
@@juliethehairapist now this... sounds like a great idea!! Thank you for the thorough, well thought out, explanation.

Hi Sabrina, sorry I just noticed I didn't send on my reply. Your curly hair needs to be blown out or fall ironed first. If you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com I can give you better advice.
