Lady you are a LIFE saver!!! Luckily I didn't have to lift my hair but a little 6n knocked my orange out enough to be tolerable or even better. I had a root tap that went all wrong and was losing my mind. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge!!!!!!
Im going to try. The salon made my money piece roots muppet orange. Thank God thats all she touched on my head. Im really stressed out since its at the front of my face.
@@tbunnyshy1 same boat!! Apparently it's my hair bc this is the 2nd stylist to do the same thing. I've done so much better going at it at home with a cap🤬
You’re my favorite! Been watching you for a while now. You always give off such a positive vibe. Seem to be very beautiful & genuine person. I think this video will help me a lot! I’ve always been blonde, lifting the hair prior to coloring it seemed unnecessary. You explained it so now I understand what was happening to my color at the roots. I was always using ash/blue/violet colors so it’s so frustrating to end up brassy after a hand full of washes! Thank you! 😊
I am totally comfortable doing this and have been retouching my own highlights since March, but what I haven’t found is a Demi gloss that even comes close to shades EQ for toner. What toning product available to the public do you recommend? The wella toners (that are really permanent color) blow my level 4-5 base up and turn it orange even when I use 10 volume.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I can't say it enough! I finally managed to get rid of those meh orange-ish outgrown roots! And having quite the same hair colour as you made the decisions even easier! I used the same toners 😄 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Years after watching your channel and then getting cought in having kids and basically no time for youtube, I find myself at the moment having to do my hair again on my own, and where do I go? Yep, Ellebangs. I don’t trust any other hairstylist on youtube with advice especially not for anything blonde hair. So I just wanted to leave a thanx for helping not just me but surely many other women all over the world not to walk around with sad looking brassy hair:) Because let’s be honest when the hair and skin are good, even the bag and the shoe doesn’t really matter that much. Thumbs up for the ever gorgeous, smart and very real Ellebangs!x
Haha agree. As a stylist since I was eh 16 years old and mother and two aunts as stylist as well, simple answer is usually right, use a cap!! I’m sorry to burst any young hair stylist bubbles but hear me when I tell you sometimes the old ways still work the best !!!!! You can feel the holes with your fingers and as long as you have fbr cap nice and tight it’s all good !! I just used one did it myself and everyone at work swears I went to see my stylist !! Lol. Oh and I still use old fashioned sponge curlers !!!! Beats a curling iron any day and they last longer !!! Strips of old t shirts for rag curls !! Amen :). Happy hair do’s y’all!!
I cannot thank you enough!! I know these videos are not at all as easy to film, edit & post, as some people may think. I love the way your hair is colored!! I WAS trying to achieve similar results & I ended up with warm kinda orangey (not a word I know,lol) roots & ash ends!!YIKES!!😵 Of course I have somewhere to be tomorrow morning.. thank goodness for baseball caps,🤣🤣🤣!! On my way home, I will most definitely be stopping to purchase more products!! I've watched a few more of your videos and took notes. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!💞💯💞
First of all you are GORGEOUS! and second thank you so much! All your videos are literally life saving info! I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the world where other haordressers dont...You are a badass💙
Yep, especially for us level 6-7ish blondes! It’s so hard to get gray coverage at that level that isn’t guaranteed to fade to an unflattering hue falling somewhere along the spectrum of the Lori-Vallow-Prison-Garb-Orange family of colors! Speaking of her, fun fact for y’all: Child-Murdering Cult Mom Lori is actually a hairstylist herself, originally from San Bernardino! Which is Reason #456 I find her 2000’s-era mahogany-underneath-blonde so curious!) 😂 In all seriousness though, I’m wondering if using a Demi-Permanent line known for at least a moderate amount of gray coverage (perhaps L’Oréal DIA Richesse or Redken SEQ cream?) is a better solution for tiding over those of us with less than 50% grays, who can no longer get away with just a head full of foils...thoughts??? I just feel like permanent color on my type of hair is always going to fade to an unflattering color, to the point that we need to figure out a way to address that warmth strategically, rather than always having to do corrective work once those between-the-foils sections inevitably fade to yuck. Wouldn’t refreshing the base with a Demi every 4-6 weeks ultimately be easier on the hair than using permanent and then having to correct the tone every time anyhow? Would love to hear any insight you might have Sylvia, since I know you specialize in blondes! 💛
I call most 7-8’s the no color zone, for it lacks depth and light! I either mix 1/4 of a #6 and the rest 3/4 #7 20 vol. same is true with your reds, don’t ever put straight red color with 20 vol on the roots aka the heat zone . mix 1/4 red to 3/4 brown or blonde. That way you don’t end up with “Hot Roots”. Or you could use 10 vol with your 7’s and/or use Shades EQ Demi put cap over it and under the dryer for 20 then take cap off and let it sit for 20 more mins for gray coverage. It’s ok if the roots Are a bit darker, especially now!
But how do you lift the roots without touching the rest of your hair for an even deposit that will lighten the roots by a little and darken the rest by two more shades?
Do it as close as possible and the bleach will swell a bit. It will get a bit on the other but when it’s all down and together you won’t notice the small change. So long as you seeing doing one stright line and a huge glob your going to be fine.
I'm so glad you did this video. Thank you so much. This is actually a really big problem for alot of people. I have been to the salon so many times and they still can't fix it. It's crazy because I have been told so many times to "bring inspo pic" and even when I do I still get some weird variation of red blonde with golden blonde highlights here and there. It's just annoying!!
You & I must be going to the same lame hairdressers!! I've been to high-end salons down to Aveda beauty school with instructors overseeing the foils. The only time I actually had a successful foil (had bands that she fixed the next day) was after the second foil... BUT she bleached 45 minutes on top of highlights she's done the day b4 & all my 'money pieces' broke off over the next month. But I looked 'freakin awesome' for the next month... & then just 'awesome' into I had 8 months worth of roots. I was too scared to have it messed up again. But another hairdresser did! Level 8 ASH is my enemy! Makes my hair color look like dirty saw dust color.
@@angelas.9717 I recently went to a salon who did an amazing job. In fact they don't even use purple shampoos because they lift hair so amazingly. I was blown away. In fact they recommend against using purple shampoos and just concentrate on getting the lift right. Then follow with the correct toner or toners then maybe gloss. I bring up the purple shampoos because all of us blondes are told to use it like it's the saving grace and it's not. It always leaves my hair looking metallic magenta or gray. I had a great experience and have been getting compliments non stop!
I went to get my hair done two days ago and my hair stylist over-toned my hair and my roots are now orange! Will this method help me since my roots are orange because of the toner rather than turning orange over time?
I just recently went to a newer salon. I have white hairs and bleaching it wasn't helping my whites. So the new stylist went in where my whites were with a level 3 and highlights. Finally did cover my Grey's but left it light enough without making me to pale
Thank you so much for confirming what I am planning on doing as far as lifting my new roots! After I lifting the entire new growth, I have been applying lightest golden blonde (level 10) with a "No Red" color correction due to the amount of natural red tones in my hair. My natural color is a level 6 to 7 with approximately 30% grey. Currently I have an inch of new growth. I was wanting to ask how much new growth do you typically want before lightening your new growth? Any suggestions would be very helpful 🙂. Thank you again for such an awesome video! I look forward to seeing you in the salon soon!! Hopefully we will all be getting back to our lives but with precautions. 👝💄💋🛍. Any VLOGS coming our way for shopping (Sephora), clothing or new makeup tutorials for fall trends 2020?? Sounds like a great time!!
Not the creator, but I do my graying roots myself every 6 weeks with an eSalon kit. Sylvia is an affiliate for eSalon, I use her code. I guess it really depends on how fast your hair grows, on average hair grows about an half-inch per month. I like waiting a bit longer than that , it makes it easier to color my roots without touching my existing color.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video.I needed it.Too much problem in the past I stop bleaching because of the things I encountered and still not confident doing so.
Hello, I would like to know what toner to use to tone my medium and long since I have yellow and light orange highlights, help me choose the correct one, please thank you
I've had issues with orange roots my whole life. The rest can be ok, but the roots have that orange hue under the color on my scalp and it's horrible. I've yet to find anyone that can help me really find a solution I can use. I use Wella 50 toner on it and haven't in awhile, cause the rest of my hair is ok, but a bit dark. But the new growth, ugh! It never matches the rest of my hair!! So last night I used 30 volume, cause it seems to me that 20 is not lifting it enough and only getting to orange. Well, I have the color, though it went darker than I wanted and that was a 5! Gonna try the wells T50 asap. I guess use 20 volume? I'm scared to use 30 again on my hair. I used to bleach it with 40 and powder when I did it blue, purple several years ago. Then I left it alone to grow back, for the most part, and put stuff like Artic Fox, etc. But I'm tired of my only option is going black. But I hate red/orange in my hair. I've actually been using a color spray to buy me time. But I gotta tone this hair!! This has been going on over 25 years. =(
This was so helpful! I've been looking all over for advice on how to effectively color brunette hair without the orange. I'm wanting to go neutral blonde on my lengths and ends but a 6 on my roots, so you're saying I should lighten my roots to an 8 to achieve a 6? Or can I just lighten my entire head to a 9?
I have strawberry blonde hair which I went more auburn with darker warm brunette lowlights and blonde highlights. Not only did the highlights not stay contrasting for long, but how do I deal with roots that are naturally "brassy" or blend lighter hair into the darker hair? So many videos show darker roots coming in
Wella is very harsh but it gets the job done I like Schwarzkopf blonde me bleach you can get on amazon if you ever get a hold of that bleach you'll never turn back although Ive heard of people not get correct bleach from certain Amazon sellers go by Amazon's choice that's what I may do I want some shades eq but scared to order off Amazon does anyone know where I could get some that's real product???
Ia D. S. Kevin Murphy has a great ammonia free bleach if you can get your hands on it! If you have a friend with a cosmetology, esthetician or nail tech license, they might be willing to purchase it for you at one of the stores that sell only to licensed people. Hope that helps!
Hi Sylvia, you make amazing videos. Thank you so much for sharing your amazzzing info. What about gray hair? It is different than a natural or coloured hair colour. There are different levels of gray on a head. They are rarely ever all the same. The colour lighter on top and darker in the back of the head. The top can be dyed with a colour to a level 8 -9. So you are blonde. But the back - underneath can only be dyed to a level 7 RUST tone. Eek!! 🤯 Would luv to know how lighten the back without bleach? Do not wish to use bleach. Perhaps with an accelerator that is not bleach? Scruples has one. How about a High lift blonde with 30 or 40 volume? Or, what about dying the whole head with a level 7 and 8 - 1/2 and 1/2 with an ASH Blonde? Could this result in a medium ash blonde all over evenly and cancelling out all red tones? Will toner and purple shampoo work properly on dyed hair? Would luv to have the answers to these questions. You are definetly one of the BEST with hair. 😊
Hi Elle, love your videos, I learn so much from them. There is only one question about the root tap. Can you explain the exact mix ratio for the root tap and what level is the processing solution you use? Thank you so much.
Shades EQ requires 1:1 ratio (whatever quantity you have of the Shades EQ liquid, you match that same quantity of the Shades EQ developer in a bowl , which I believe is a 7 volume developer). Hope this helps!
So I'm a blonde (level 8 or 9), and I want to go balayage and have my roots darker (dark mushroom) without being orange. I'm cool skin tone. What shade should I be buying at Sally's? Would a 6 work... like 6A? Ash, beige, or neutral? Also, can I put a toner on the darker parts, like the roots? I just bought wella T18 & T27 for the toner.
Can you do a video If you are a natural level 3 with whites coming in with highlights how you maintain that at home? Do you use permanent color or Demi for the root area? Or do you have a video for that?
Hi Elle, thank you for the video. SoI am brunette who wants to achieve a Level 7A without the Red/Orange. What Toner would you suggest? (I do use Wella products)
You explain so well thank you so much. For bleaching you said you used 30 vol developer but when you said the tones 6-8 you didnt mention the developer. You said processing solution. So you didnt use developer??? In trying to do this on my own. Thanks again.
I went lighter . There's this product they used on my hair. Im not sure if it's the shampoo, Conditioner, or the toner. It made my hair really soft even after shampooing for weeks. Is there a product you suggest that is the closest to what they used?
Thank you so much . I had protein on my hair( keratin) and my hair became orangy. I dyed my hair it after 3 days with 5.11 , it became dark, again today I colored it with 9.12 still the same darkness maybe a very little of a touch of brown some places . Why?? 😫 till now I payed like 100$ I didn’t go to the hairdresser because it will cost me about 350$ the lowest price here in Denmark . What should I do 😫 please I need a help. I don’t want to you use so much money every time without fixing the color. I want to make it high light cold platin blond . Please I need help 🙏🙏🙏
The salon lightened my money piece roots to a muppet orange. She said its hard to lighten Italian hair, yet my whole head is a beautiful blond from the same salon. I am so upset.
This may sound like a ridiculous question, but how do the ends end up being so light once the hair which was once at the root (which was tapped) grows out? Does that make sense? So if you do a root tap which is slightly darker, eventually it’s gonna grow out to the end. So how is it that the ends are still so blonde? Does the toner wash out eventually? I understand the whole concept of the highlights/baby light. I just don’t understand for the hair that’s left dark how that ends up being so light on the ends eventually. Can someone please explain that to me? Please? 😕
I’m not a hair dresser...but when you highlight, you’re taking the color out of that hair permanently. Hair color or root tapping will color your hair, but eventually it will fade lighter because the hair underneath has been bleached. --that’s how I understand it anyways 😂
The toner fades out most definitely and it's not a permanent hair color which some people actually use so it just fades and the highlights with grow out gets bleached if that makes sense
Kindly give me favor my hair color is reddish orange due to hair dye of koleston 9 shade in saloon. It's look very bad. How I can fix it. Tell me the right color number that fix my hair color. I want a blonde shade in striking look.
Thanks for these videos! Can you make a video about softening a root getting orange before the retouch on an only HL colored (highlift) hair? Cause I have no bleach and want no bleach but in the between retouch the color gets a little on orange side ... do it every 15 days so.. ( I’m a level 4 and use Keune 1519 which gets me to a level 8 toned but in that between it gets a bit orangie) should I use an 8? This you did with bleach is not a solution for cases like mine. I would very much appreciate! Greetings from Portugal! 🤩😍💪🏼
I also don't want to bleach, even only highlights. There's got to be solution for us, too. Who only want get rid of orange-ish tone on regrowth. I guess blue semipermanent colour diluted in conditioner... but for how long? 🤔
I Want to tone my hair without lifting the regrowth . Have Wella toner t12 gray and 10 vol developer.. my regrowth is salt and pepper trying to grow out my salt and. Pepper. Is it possible just to tone
I live in Pakistan its very difficult for me to buy wella toner. What is the alternative to wella toner for brassy and weak hair? Preferably if you could tell me a shampoo or majiral or inoa hair dye. Thanks
P= grey base + blue/violet Grey base= lighter shade of black, which is a (blue) base + blue/Violet= (blue) + (blue + red) = Blue + Blue + Blue + red (3 cools to one warm) 9V= (Blue + red) (one cool to one warm) The extra blue in 9P can turn some blondes green depending on how much yellow there is. You can add in some 9V to your 9P to lessen this.
I just had my hair done and I hate it!! My blonde is yellow and my brown is starting to go like a red. I dnt understand why can’t salons do it right? I wanted a white blonde with my natural color. I guess a balayage blonde.
My question is I use a 4Nn from Redken and I always get hot roots from it. How do I avoid lighter roots on my hair is so dark. I use 20 volume with 4nn
I dyed my hair light mushroom blonde and medium mushroom blonde with 40 developer and nothing happened I got a little light brown, with red orange on my roots.. now idk what to do
How do I lighten dark hair with grey roots?? I want to look younger, not older. Lol. I'm 66 years old. I use the Loreal Preference #5 Medium Brown. But, it's too dark. How do I lighten my hair to a lighter brown or an ash brown?? Thank you!
Joan Gentile ,first 5 is too dark almost like black, even 6 is too dark. Use 7 or 8 for mid brown. Second do not use drugstore colors. Use wella or majirel. I use majirel cool shades 8.1 with %30 developer and it covers my greys, lifts my dark hair and looks mid brown. When I use 9.1 it does not cover my greys. Anything higher than level 8 will not cover your greys if your hair is resistant and thick. Also you need to use high developer in order to lift your dark hair color, %20 developer is not enough for me that is why i use %30 developer. I hope this helps
@@missidoleyesThank you so much for your advice! I appreciate it!! It helps a lot! I'm going to try that. Maybe, I can finally get the right color and color my gray roots at the same time. 😊
Joan Gentile you’re welcome. It took me a couple of years to finally find something that works for me, hope will work for you too. Remember to always start with high levels when coloring, because to darken hair is very easy but to lighten hair is always a struggle. Therefore, Start with coloring your hair with level 8, if you find the results lighter than you like, next time you color your hair add level 7,1 to level 8,1 , but do not add too much level 7 in one go, add gradually ( forexample mix something like 1/4 level 7.1 and 3/4 level 8.1 ) and see how it goes.
@@missidoleyes You are so sweet, Missi!! Thank you so much for your advice! I appreciate it!! I'm trying to save money now because of the coronavirus. I don't want to go to a salon, unless I absolutely need to. I'm 66 years old. I also have asthma. My husband doesn't think that I should go to a salon, until sometime next year, if we ever get a vaccine. I told him we can't wait forever for vaccine that may never come. No one seems to know what's going on with a vaccine just yet. So, I need to be safe, than sorry. I have three beautiful grandchildren that I want to be around to spend time with. I don't want to be in a hospital on ventilator, if I can prevent it. Thank you again! Have a great day!! 💖
I’m getting this orange with 30 volume and bleach powder… ! I really don’t want to go back to using 40 volume like I did in the old days when I did platinum white… But I can’t seem to get a level 10 with bleach and 30v. On naturally dark blonde level 6 hair! …should I be trying a different brand? It’s only coming out level six or seven orange so it can’t be toned yet, I need higher lift before toning. It is IceCream brand from Shoppers w blue bleach powder.
Do you have to separate these procedures you can’t do the route color and baby lights all in one step or do you have to do them one after the other to get that same result
Can anyone help me - I'm doing a semi-perm shadow root at home of level 7 after bleaching to level 8/9 on my natural level 3 roots, which works really nicely but wondering about maintenance... will the semi perm fade so I can then bleach my natural roots when they grow and start from scratch or do I need to slightly over lap bleach onto previous shadow root? Im not sure how much it will fade yet. Any advice greatly appreciated :) Thanks!
I had my dark ashy blonde hair dyed (highlights plus dye) in a lighter shade a few days ago and ended up with brassy roots, and also a colour way lighter than what I had in mind. The hairdresser didn't want to put a toner on straight away, and told me to come back in a week if I am still unhappy. How do I explain this to him? He had proposed to put a few extra highlights to balance it out, but I am really looking for that natural darker ashy blonde transition. I am feeling like I just lost my hair so please any advice on what to ask for is welcome.
I have suffer from alopecia due to my lupus. My hair has finally grown in to a nice healthy length YAY! can you recomend a hair dying product for me that will be good for a conditon I have?
So, is the root tap process basically adding color back to your hair? Wont this color the highlights you just put on? Or is a root tap a toner? Thank you
I uses light blue for hilights then T10 and my roots turned BLOND ORANGE. WTFFFF I'm freaking out. I didnt even put light blue on my roots so why did it turn my roots colors
Just wondering, I’m trying dye my hair cooper but I have a big root growth so I’m scared it becomes more ginger/bright orange on my roots, how do I avoid that ?
When covering greys with Redken color gel lacquers. Does it have to be an NN, NA or NW in the mix or can it be just an N on its own? I've heard both🤷♀️
What do you recommend for those of us that do like/want warm colors? My hairdresser left my highlights orange/copper :( But I wanted something more of a caramel color.

I had a great experience and have been getting compliments non stop!
what to use if you don't have access to redken products??
I went to get my hair done two days ago and my hair stylist over-toned my hair and my roots are now orange! Will this method help me since my roots are orange because of the toner rather than turning orange over time?
Same thing happened to me...don't know what to do
Blue shampoo combats orange tone.
so what do you do now to get it blonde instead of yellow?
You always look so beautiful. Never used redkin, I will try them now
You are truly a life saver. Best one ever 😗
I just recently went to a newer salon. I have white hairs and bleaching it wasn't helping my whites. So the new stylist went in where my whites were with a level 3 and highlights. Finally did cover my Grey's but left it light enough without making me to pale
Thank you so much for confirming what I am planning on doing as far as lifting my new roots! After I lifting the entire new growth, I have been applying lightest golden blonde (level 10) with a "No Red" color correction due to the amount of natural red tones in my hair. My natural color is a level 6 to 7 with approximately 30% grey. Currently I have an inch of new growth. I was wanting to ask how much new growth do you typically want before lightening your new growth? Any suggestions would be very helpful 🙂. Thank you again for such an awesome video! I look forward to seeing you in the salon soon!! Hopefully we will all be getting back to our lives but with precautions. 👝💄💋🛍. Any VLOGS coming our way for shopping (Sephora), clothing or new makeup tutorials for fall trends 2020?? Sounds like a great time!!
Not the creator, but I do my graying roots myself every 6 weeks with an eSalon kit. Sylvia is an affiliate for eSalon, I use her code.
I guess it really depends on how fast your hair grows, on average hair grows about an half-inch per month. I like waiting a bit longer than that , it makes it easier to color my roots without touching my existing color.
What is eSalon?
I am new to hair coloring and am watching your videos. Do you rinse the color or bleach off before doing the root tap?
I love your videos, Sylvia!! I love your hair color!! It's beautiful!! 💖
Thanks a lot for sharing this video.I needed it.Too much problem in the past I stop bleaching because of the things I encountered and still not confident doing so.
It would be nice if you would show the products used & how to mix .. I need to fix mines lol
I'd have to go to cosmetology school just to understand what she's talking about 😂
Comment savoir les numéros de coloration?
Hello, I would like to know what toner to use to tone my medium and long since I have yellow and light orange highlights, help me choose the correct one, please thank you
What did you end up getting that worked for you? I have the same thing and I can’t figure out what color to go for
I've had issues with orange roots my whole life. The rest can be ok, but the roots have that orange hue under the color on my scalp and it's horrible. I've yet to find anyone that can help me really find a solution I can use. I use Wella 50 toner on it and haven't in awhile, cause the rest of my hair is ok, but a bit dark. But the new growth, ugh! It never matches the rest of my hair!! So last night I used 30 volume, cause it seems to me that 20 is not lifting it enough and only getting to orange. Well, I have the color, though it went darker than I wanted and that was a 5! Gonna try the wells T50 asap. I guess use 20 volume? I'm scared to use 30 again on my hair. I used to bleach it with 40 and powder when I did it blue, purple several years ago. Then I left it alone to grow back, for the most part, and put stuff like Artic Fox, etc. But I'm tired of my only option is going black. But I hate red/orange in my hair. I've actually been using a color spray to buy me time. But I gotta tone this hair!! This has been going on over 25 years. =(
Same!
This was so helpful! I've been looking all over for advice on how to effectively color brunette hair without the orange. I'm wanting to go neutral blonde on my lengths and ends but a 6 on my roots, so you're saying I should lighten my roots to an 8 to achieve a 6? Or can I just lighten my entire head to a 9?
Excellent Information 👍🏼👏🏻
I have strawberry blonde hair which I went more auburn with darker warm brunette lowlights and blonde highlights. Not only did the highlights not stay contrasting for long, but how do I deal with roots that are naturally "brassy" or blend lighter hair into the darker hair? So many videos show darker roots coming in
Great video!!! I can imagine that this IS a hot topic🤣Thank you for sharing your knowledge Silvia 🌼🌸💛🌸🌼
Uhhh you are the best🙌🏼 so wish you could actually do my hair 💕
this is a great way that seems very easy for at home
what products and level toners are being used?
Can you recommend bleach that we can get on amazon? And toner we can get too? I always use Wella but it’s too harsh
Yes that's what I'm wondering about too
Me, too!!
Same question.
I need ammonia free bleach
Wella is very harsh but it gets the job done I like Schwarzkopf blonde me bleach you can get on amazon if you ever get a hold of that bleach you'll never turn back although Ive heard of people not get correct bleach from certain Amazon sellers go by Amazon's choice that's what I may do I want some shades eq but scared to order off Amazon does anyone know where I could get some that's real product???
Ia D. S. Kevin Murphy has a great ammonia free bleach if you can get your hands on it! If you have a friend with a cosmetology, esthetician or nail tech license, they might be willing to purchase it for you at one of the stores that sell only to licensed people. Hope that helps!
Hi Sylvia, you make amazing videos. Thank you so much for sharing your amazzzing info.
What about gray hair? It is different than a natural or coloured hair colour.
There are different levels of gray on a head. They are rarely ever all the same. The colour lighter on top and darker in the back of the head.
The top can be dyed with a colour to a level 8 -9. So you are blonde.
But the back - underneath can only be dyed to a level 7 RUST tone. Eek!! 🤯
Would luv to know how lighten the back without bleach? Do not wish to use bleach.
Perhaps with an accelerator that is not bleach? Scruples has one.
How about a High lift blonde with 30 or 40 volume?
Or, what about dying the whole head with a level 7 and 8 - 1/2 and 1/2 with an ASH Blonde? Could this result in a medium ash blonde all over evenly and cancelling out all red tones?
Will toner and purple shampoo work properly on dyed hair?
Would luv to have the answers to these questions. You are definetly one of the BEST with hair. 😊
Hi Elle, love your videos, I learn so much from them. There is only one question about the root tap. Can you explain the exact mix ratio for the root tap and what level is the processing solution you use? Thank you so much.
Shades EQ requires 1:1 ratio (whatever quantity you have of the Shades EQ liquid, you match that same quantity of the Shades EQ developer in a bowl , which I believe is a 7 volume developer). Hope this helps!
You are great! Very clear, finally I understand! Thanks xx
Is this video referring to the picture advertised? This is orange yellow to nice blonde.
The video is showing darker stuff I’m just confused
Your hair is so gorgeous 😱😱😱
So I'm a blonde (level 8 or 9), and I want to go balayage and have my roots darker (dark mushroom) without being orange. I'm cool skin tone. What shade should I be buying at Sally's? Would a 6 work... like 6A? Ash, beige, or neutral? Also, can I put a toner on the darker parts, like the roots? I just bought wella T18 & T27 for the toner.
Can you do a video If you are a natural level 3 with whites coming in with highlights how you maintain that at home? Do you use permanent color or Demi for the root area? Or do you have a video for that?
Does she have a list of products . I want to try this
wait when you are doing brightening at the roots are you only using 30 vol developer? I am a bit confused
Hi Elle, thank you for the video. SoI am brunette who wants to achieve a Level 7A without the Red/Orange. What Toner would you suggest? (I do use Wella products)
You explain so well thank you so much. For bleaching you said you used 30 vol developer but when you said the tones 6-8 you didnt mention the developer. You said processing solution. So you didnt use developer??? In trying to do this on my own. Thanks again.
I have a lot of white hair & want a cool color. What brand can I use?
I went lighter . There's this product they used on my hair. Im not sure if it's the shampoo, Conditioner, or the toner. It made my hair really soft even after shampooing for weeks. Is there a product you suggest that is the closest to what they used?
Thank you so much . I had protein on my hair( keratin) and my hair became orangy. I dyed my hair it after 3 days with 5.11 , it became dark, again today I colored it with 9.12 still the same darkness maybe a very little of a touch of brown some places . Why?? 😫 till now I payed like 100$ I didn’t go to the hairdresser because it will cost me about 350$ the lowest price here in Denmark . What should I do 😫 please I need a help. I don’t want to you use so much money every time without fixing the color. I want to make it high light cold platin blond . Please I need help 🙏🙏🙏
The salon lightened my money piece roots to a muppet orange. She said its hard to lighten Italian hair, yet my whole head is a beautiful blond from the same salon. I am so upset.
It was great thanks. I just didn't get the root tap part 🧐
This may sound like a ridiculous question, but how do the ends end up being so light once the hair which was once at the root (which was tapped) grows out? Does that make sense? So if you do a root tap which is slightly darker, eventually it’s gonna grow out to the end. So how is it that the ends are still so blonde? Does the toner wash out eventually? I understand the whole concept of the highlights/baby light. I just don’t understand for the hair that’s left dark how that ends up being so light on the ends eventually. Can someone please explain that to me? Please? 😕
I’m not a hair dresser...but when you highlight, you’re taking the color out of that hair permanently. Hair color or root tapping will color your hair, but eventually it will fade lighter because the hair underneath has been bleached. --that’s how I understand it anyways 😂
The toner fades out most definitely and it's not a permanent hair color which some people actually use so it just fades and the highlights with grow out gets bleached if that makes sense
Kindly give me favor my hair color is reddish orange due to hair dye of koleston 9 shade in saloon. It's look very bad. How I can fix it. Tell me the right color number that fix my hair color. I want a blonde shade in striking look.
Your video is amazing, what do you put in your hair to not make it look so brassy?
If you have to cover gray would you cover the grays first and then do the baby lights then retone?
Great video! Thanks so much 🙏
Is your eyebrow color your natural color? If not, can you show us how you do it? Because I want my brows to be your color. Thank you!
What brand hair color do you recommend to cover gray?
Thanks for these videos! Can you make a video about softening a root getting orange before the retouch on an only HL colored (highlift) hair? Cause I have no bleach and want no bleach but in the between retouch the color gets a little on orange side ... do it every 15 days so.. ( I’m a level 4 and use Keune 1519 which gets me to a level 8 toned but in that between it gets a bit orangie) should I use an 8? This you did with bleach is not a solution for cases like mine. I would very much appreciate! Greetings from Portugal! 🤩😍💪🏼
I also don't want to bleach, even only highlights. There's got to be solution for us, too. Who only want get rid of orange-ish tone on regrowth. I guess blue semipermanent colour diluted in conditioner... but for how long? 🤔
I don't understand, what you used in your hair. Can you write the Products or the Name here for me, please 🙏
Hey, Silvia I know you did a video with Adam on the topic of male tv makeup can you do an updated version?
How do you stop toner from giving you hot roots? Everytime i use toner it lifts my roots. I use a 10 vol developer.
1. I love your top, you look great
2. Thank you for this info!!
I can't get Redken in my country for shades eq, are there any other processing that you can recommend?
Go on Amazon
Thank you soooo helpful information
I Want to tone my hair without lifting the regrowth . Have Wella toner t12 gray and 10 vol developer.. my regrowth is salt and pepper trying to grow out my salt and. Pepper. Is it possible just to tone
I live in Pakistan its very difficult for me to buy wella toner. What is the alternative to wella toner for brassy and weak hair? Preferably if you could tell me a shampoo or majiral or inoa hair dye. Thanks
Hello I loved your video but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do with my Hair I Need help!!!
This was a helpful video thank you! And I usually get Redkin 9V, what makes it different than the 9P - is it the pearly shade?
I think it has some ash in it and violet vs just violet
P= grey base + blue/violet
Grey base= lighter shade of black, which is a (blue) base
+
blue/Violet= (blue) + (blue + red) =
Blue + Blue + Blue + red (3 cools to one warm)
9V= (Blue + red) (one cool to one warm)
The extra blue in 9P can turn some blondes green depending on how much yellow there is. You can add in some 9V to your 9P to lessen this.
I guess P stands for Pearly as she mentioned.
I just had my hair done and I hate it!! My blonde is yellow and my brown is starting to go like a red. I dnt understand why can’t salons do it right? I wanted a white blonde with my natural color. I guess a balayage blonde.
My question is I use a 4Nn from Redken and I always get hot roots from it. How do I avoid lighter roots on my hair is so dark. I use 20 volume with 4nn
Hello. My hair had permanent black hair color on it. I highlighted all of my hair. It came out orange. What can I do to fix it
Can you please show examples and DIY info for dark and very dark hair, how to avoid those orange roots?? Ugh...
I dyed my hair light mushroom blonde and medium mushroom blonde with 40 developer and nothing happened I got a little light brown, with red orange on my roots.. now idk what to do
I went to do a blond toning retouch and the hair dresser left me with red roots please help !
How do I lighten dark hair with grey roots?? I want to look younger, not older. Lol. I'm 66 years old. I use the Loreal Preference #5 Medium Brown. But, it's too dark. How do I lighten my hair to a lighter brown or an ash brown?? Thank you!
Joan Gentile ,first 5 is too dark almost like black, even 6 is too dark. Use 7 or 8 for mid brown. Second do not use drugstore colors. Use wella or majirel. I use majirel cool shades 8.1 with %30 developer and it covers my greys, lifts my dark hair and looks mid brown. When I use 9.1 it does not cover my greys. Anything higher than level 8 will not cover your greys if your hair is resistant and thick. Also you need to use high developer in order to lift your dark hair color, %20 developer is not enough for me that is why i use %30 developer. I hope this helps
@@missidoleyesThank you so much for your advice! I appreciate it!! It helps a lot! I'm going to try that. Maybe, I can finally get the right color and color my gray roots at the same time. 😊
Joan Gentile you’re welcome. It took me a couple of years to finally find something that works for me, hope will work for you too. Remember to always start with high levels when coloring, because to darken hair is very easy but to lighten hair is always a struggle. Therefore, Start with coloring your hair with level 8, if you find the results lighter than you like, next time you color your hair add level 7,1 to level 8,1 , but do not add too much level 7 in one go, add gradually ( forexample mix something like 1/4 level 7.1 and 3/4 level 8.1 ) and see how it goes.
@@missidoleyes You are so sweet, Missi!! Thank you so much for your advice! I appreciate it!! I'm trying to save money now because of the coronavirus. I don't want to go to a salon, unless I absolutely need to. I'm 66 years old. I also have asthma. My husband doesn't think that I should go to a salon, until sometime next year, if we ever get a vaccine. I told him we can't wait forever for vaccine that may never come. No one seems to know what's going on with a vaccine just yet. So, I need to be safe, than sorry. I have three beautiful grandchildren that I want to be around to spend time with. I don't want to be in a hospital on ventilator, if I can prevent it. Thank you again! Have a great day!! 💖
I’m getting this orange with 30 volume and bleach powder… !
I really don’t want to go back to using 40 volume like I did in the old days when I did platinum white… But I can’t seem to get a level 10 with bleach and 30v. On naturally dark blonde level 6 hair! …should I be trying a different brand? It’s only coming out level six or seven orange so it can’t be toned yet, I need higher lift before toning. It is IceCream brand from Shoppers w blue bleach powder.
Do you have to separate these procedures you can’t do the route color and baby lights all in one step or do you have to do them one after the other to get that same result
Can anyone help me - I'm doing a semi-perm shadow root at home of level 7 after bleaching to level 8/9 on my natural level 3 roots, which works really nicely but wondering about maintenance... will the semi perm fade so I can then bleach my natural roots when they grow and start from scratch or do I need to slightly over lap bleach onto previous shadow root? Im not sure how much it will fade yet. Any advice greatly appreciated :) Thanks!
Omg! You have the most beautiful eyes! Thank you for this video...
Me too! It’s frustrating when you tubers don’t answer questions.
How to get a summary brown from red brown color pigment
I had my dark ashy blonde hair dyed (highlights plus dye) in a lighter shade a few days ago and ended up with brassy roots, and also a colour way lighter than what I had in mind. The hairdresser didn't want to put a toner on straight away, and told me to come back in a week if I am still unhappy. How do I explain this to him? He had proposed to put a few extra highlights to balance it out, but I am really looking for that natural darker ashy blonde transition. I am feeling like I just lost my hair so please any advice on what to ask for is welcome.
Purple shampoo combats brassy tones. Lots of youtube videos on this. A popular brand is Fanola No Yellow.
What should I do if a client has 50% grey re-growth?
I have suffer from alopecia due to my lupus. My hair has finally grown in to a nice healthy length YAY! can you recomend a hair dying product for me that will be good for a conditon I have?
So, is the root tap process basically adding color back to your hair? Wont this color the highlights you just put on? Or is a root tap a toner?
Thank you
Root tap is bleaching the roots a darker color for it to blend seamlessly with the lighter ends
Do I just apply with 9P with no processing solution ??
How should I get rid of the orange in the mid section of my hair
I uses light blue for hilights then T10 and my roots turned BLOND ORANGE. WTFFFF I'm freaking out. I didnt even put light blue on my roots so why did it turn my roots colors
So who did the foils in back?
Do you have to apply toner after you bleach your hair if you re dyeing your hair grey ?My hair was a level 6 and is about a level 9 now
Do you have to use a toner if you just want to lift from 8 to say 10 (and not be platinum) just light blonde on dull.already blonde hair..Thanks
please please please if I send you a photo will you please tell me what to do ? I went to a salon and this is what I got I don't want to go back
Thank you for this
is it possible to tone red (natural) hair?
Just wondering, I’m trying dye my hair cooper but I have a big root growth so I’m scared it becomes more ginger/bright orange on my roots, how do I avoid that ?
When covering greys with Redken color gel lacquers. Does it have to be an NN, NA or NW in the mix or can it be just an N on its own? I've heard both🤷♀️
Love your videos. How do you get the ends so light?
Thank you so much 💗
I think you would look better with your natural hair color
What do you recommend for those of us that do like/want warm colors? My hairdresser left my highlights orange/copper :( But I wanted something more of a caramel color.
Maybe just don't leave the toner on as long.
