  • Blonde goes to the Dark side;)!!!! As I sat down and Consulted with my client... To her it was important to transition to a more Low Maintenance Color.. She was ready for a Change.. She wanted to go back to her Natural Color! We did a pretty dang good job on Matching it!! For a All over Application.. I LOVE using Redken Color Gels.. It glides onto the hair shaft So Smooth, Silky and Jelly!! * COLORS USED* For Fillers 5NW-7NW-7GB For the End Result More dominate Tone I used 6NA&6N using 10 Volume.. My Client Specifially Requested to have NO WARMTH to her hair.. She likes as much ash as possible!!! I then did a Olaplex Treatment to Keep her hair from fading as much along with as much health as possible!! Hope this video helped you!!!! Please Subscribe

    You did an amazing job! I personally think she looks better as a brunette,her eyes and skin tone just looks much healthier. I love learning about color mixing,my sister is a stylist and she teaches me as she colors my hair also. Thumbs up,love it!

    But hair colour levels go from 2-10, sometimes 1-10 depending on the brand. there is no level that exists above a 10.
    If a colour chart contains colours that are above a 10 i.e 11/12, the reason the number is higher is to indicate it is a highlift colour.

    i usually love your videos! this is my personal opinion she looks great either way , however her brunette hair kinda looks washed out with a slight tint of like a ashy green color... this is exactly why alot of ppl with dyed blonde hair are scared to go to the salon to transform color from blonde to brunette. .. I've seen so many you tube videos stating this!! even hair stylist say that this happens! including my last hair stylist ,which is why she no longer is my stylist! hope she still happy !!! if so more power to her!!

    You should really consider trying Logics Colorcremes it is a conditioning gel cream color that gives the colorist ultimate control and creativity in the formulation and mixing. All the colors are pure tone so you can really show off your expertise. They're at Saloncentric and near the Matrix color.

    a few questions: 1) I have virgin hair, it is naturally dark blonde. probably level 7 or 6. my hair also has natural warm orangey undertones. do I have to fill? and 2) where should I apply color first? I'm not sure if I will get "hot roots" (?) because all of my hair is virgin hair...I want to go a medium chocolatey brunette if that matters.

      V. Aminah Townsend that's technically correct. IMO, it doesn't make sense mixing all the colors like in this video. The idea is you layer the colors - that's how color theory really works - fill with red, then you dye again with the ash or neutral.

      Do you use the red filler first and let it dry and then put your brown over it while it's still on the hair ;or should you wash out the red filler 1st and then follow the red filled areas with brown, or should you mix the red filler w/ the brown and apply it all together?

    Hated to hear how I'm looking trashy when my natural colour comes in. I'm a natural 7 dyed to a level 4. I first tried going pale blonde but didn't like it. I love being brunette. I do my roots every other weekend, but the lengths fade to red every two months or so, then I redye with 5 ash 20 vol, which looks 4 on my porous hair. I use 4 neutral on my roots, which have not previously been colour stripped like the rest. Complicated! I'd like the topside of my hair to be lighter, especially to mimic summer sun lightening, but not sure how to accomplish that. Any ideas? Bleach the crown out? What does brown hair naturally do in the summer? This is my first summer not being a blonde...

    I'm a level 9 blonde and want to add warmth too; This formula is perfect because it's a one step fill/color I was thinking about weaving out the hair that will be warm, using this formulation but I wanted caramel honey highlights in-between... what would I use to achieve that for the caramel/honey? Thnx in advance!!

    How much do you charge to do this filling process, and then the dye also? I just want to make sure I'm not getting ripped of by salons, because this seems so easy! Thanks, subscribed, and love your videos. They're super helpful!! :)

    Hiii..I want to say it's the only video that I found helpful all over RUclips and I have a question..
    If I have the same blonde (as hers) and I want a level 7 instead of a 6, can I use exactly the same dyes but a shade lighter (each one a shade lighter but this combination)???
    Thanks so much for that video!! (Kisses from Greece)

    I was always taught to fill with 1 part color to 1 part water, blot off and then apply color on top. What do you know about that?
