Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in for this video on how to tone blonde brassy hair without ammonia using Wella! I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what videos you'd like to see next on my channel! I hope you have a great week and see you soon!! :) :)
Christy Lyn Thank you!!! I’m blonde with lowlights n highlights and was wondering when I can put some blonde and drown pieces in my hair afterwards.....? 💐💐
Christy Lyn, I just found you from this video I'm doing the same thing with the same product but I bought a 7N ash blind because some of my pieces are darker blond then others... Do you think a 7 would be ok? I bought it bit can return it back to get the lighter one of you think that would be better .. my hair is so dry so I thought about puting conditioner in on the ends I don't know what I'm doing I just hope it turns out kind of like yours did!! Wish me luck!! Lol Just hit the bell so I can see all your other videos! Take care and be safe everyone😉
Thank you for this video! I discovered the hard way that if you try toning a balayage with T18 that it actually lifts your darker color and leaves it brassy. Not the look I was going for! Brad Mondo actually turned me on to this but I was hoping to see the actual results in a video. Thanks again!!
I use 2 tubes 10na and half of 8n.I can never find a 9na. So the mix I created works for me. it may come out a little darker but it get lighter with every hair was. I didn't know about washing it out. I just rinse it out and than deep condition. Thank God no irritation to my scalp has ever happened.
Thanks! Just remember the dyes often turn out darker so maybe do a shade lighter than you want to be safe :) Otherwise they will fade after awhile if it’s darker than you wanted.
Awesome...results# perfection!!...had been searching for just this technique....finally a no damage fix...truly a God find. Your so thoughtful to have done this...since bleaching "lighting"is damaging to hair....this is perfection, you makes it easy.. all products can be purchased...no license required...Ellbangs, guy tang or somegirljess although theses RUclips channel's are good, they aren't this informative to consider the health of our real hair...NOT EXTENSIONS! and you have healthy hair length to prove this is a great technique...a big SHOUT OUT..THANK YOU!! SO VERY MUCH...May your channel be prosperous this coming New Year....#lovingblondelongrealhair
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I’m so happy to hear this video was useful to you! I plan to do more hair videos in the future! I hope this technique works great for your hair too!
My hair is slightly darker and more orange than yellow, think I’ll try a level 8 colour . Yours looks great , how long did it last ( since this is only Demi can’t see it lasting too long )
I did do my own roots!! I had a hard time finding a good video teaching me how to do it so I just experimented until I found a method that worked. I did not record me doing it unfortunately because I wasn’t sure if I was going to like how it turned out. I wish I would have though! If you think it would be helpful I could probably do a video explaining / showing how I did it? ☺️
The box says not to use different brands with each other and specifically says the activating lotion is only to be used with this dye. I wouldn’t recommend trying to mix 😘
Hmm... I didn’t think it was super liquidity personally. How much of the activating cream did you use? If you used more than I did that could be why because I think the activator is fairly liquid-y. I didn’t have too much of a problem with it dripping (unless I overshot and missed my hair 🤣) or if I over saturated my hair at all it might drip a little but other than that, I didn’t run into it being a problem. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go as smoothly for you. Hopefully you at least liked the end result color-wise..? :)
@@SimpleMomming I used 2oz of colour to 4oz of activating lotion. I'm kind of "Meh" with the colour. I used a 7N and it definitely looks more like a 6. Maybe even a 5. Darker than what I wanted. Also it's kind of a drab colour. Which is weird because I've used Ion demi in 7N without issue. Maybe I should have mixed it with some plum dye I have. It's underwhelming.
Oh no! That’s so disappointing to hear! I’m really sorry you’re not happy with your results! I actually picked up the 7N as well but haven’t tried it yet. Maybe I better return it after hearing your experience with the color :( I’ve been using the 8N (after this video I started) and it’s a nice color I think, but they only had one box left so I got the 7N to mix with it, but I might not try that after all! The good news is, since these are Demi Permanents they will wash out with time! Mine typically fades after just a couple weeks or so. So, hopefully your color will fade fast too so you can try something else you like better! Next week I’m getting in a new brand to try that sounds very promising; Madison Reed. I’m going to be filming my first impression review of their toning gloss. They don’t use any harsh chemicals (even less harsh than the Wella Demi’s) and it’s supposed to leave your hear nourished and shiny! I have high hopes that it may work better than these but I’ll let you know in my upcoming review (probably in the next 2 weeks). You’ll have to let me know what you end up trying next with your hair and if you like it. Best of luck in the mean time! ☺️
@@SimpleMomming Yeah I would stick with the 8N. It actually isn't terrible now that I've had a bit of time to adjust. I just didn't want to be a brunette. But you're right in that it will fade. I've been interested in Madison Reed. Look forward to a review!
I felt the same way after the 8N! I was like, oh wow, I’m practically a brunette, but then as soon as I adjusted I liked it and then it faded LOL! I’m excited to try Madison Reed next though!
Thanks friend! I’ve been trying to step up my RUclips game, including the music! 💛 It took me awhile before I found a method I liked at home as far as hair color goes!!
If you use demi color on your hair and use wella color charm activating lotion with it, is is supposed to fade or grow out with a line of demarcation? I ask because I just used that combo using ION demi color in 9NA and it made my hair so dark. I'm surprised it went do dark. I just wanted to tone the copper/brass that was growing out from previously colored hair. I had about 3 in roots of my natural color. The combo of 9NA with the activating lotion colored my roots and my gray and everything. My hair is very fine.
ION tends too be a LOT darker than described on the box! 🙄 I always go lighter just in case. But don’t worry, demi permanent colors WILL fade over time. You shouldn’t be stuck with that color for too long ☺️ it will eventually fade nearly completely after maybe a month or two (depending how often you wash) and you’ll want to reapply your color again at that time. Maybe next time just choose a shade or two lighter. Let me know how it works out!
@@SimpleMomming I sure hope it fades. I used to use volume 10 developer with ION 10 NA demi color and Sallys said it would not be permanent, but it was! I got roots from it. I was trying to let all that grow out. Thanks for your reply.
It might make the highlights blend a bit in to the rest of your hair. What I mean is it might lighten the rest of your hair a little bit so your highlights won’t like quite as “highlighted”
Hey I wanna use this dye myself I have 4 in of natural root growth and very brassy ends from faded rose gold hair dye it lightened my dirty blonde hair and now that it's faded I have probably level 7 orange hair at the ends what Wella demi permanent dye will work I was thinking 8a blonde but im afraid it'll look brown and darker then my dirty blonde roots what should I do
Whatever it says in the instructions of the dye. I can’t remember off the top of my head but I believe I showed it in the video :) Just make sure to read the actual instructions in the box
You have to use the lotion that goes with the dye. There is nothing else you can use instead of it with that brand of dye. I have found a new dye that I really like which is called Garnier Olia hair color. Everything you need comes in the box and it is very gentle on your hair (it also does not use ammonia). I would highly recommend Garnier Olia if you don’t want to use what I showed in this video. It’s hard to find in stores though so you might have to order online. Just make sure it says “Olia” on the label and not just Garnier because Olia is the one without the harsh chemicals. I hope this helps ☺️
There's volume 10 developer in "activating lotions". It's really just volume 10 developer and a bunch of conditioners and renamed to *Activating Lotion* . It's funny how the activating lotions cost more than regular developer. I'm suspicious that it's just a marketing ploy to make more money and people are falling for it, lmao.
I know you asked this an entire year ago, but you can actually use a 10 developer. It will not lift, only deposit color. This info is legit and comes from professionals such as brad mondo and Elle bangs. :)
Maybe try a darker shade? It has to be dark enough to cover the brassiness. I have found it works best for me to use a shade darker than my current shade. Sorry it didn’t work for you :(
You should put toner on damp hair. Shampoo only, towel dry and use the toner, wait 20 mins then rinse and condition... Shampoo after toner prematurely strips out the toner you applied, and toning with damp hair helps distribute more evenly
If you actually watched the video you would see it’s not a toner it’s a Demi permanent hair dye which merely coats the outside layer of the hair. If her hair was wet when applying it would have hardly changed the colour as there would have been a barrier
Something seems off here there is no way 10na is touching that level hair. I would bet anything that it made her hair shiny and her lighting changed . I have bleached hair levels 8-10 and this made zero difference on any area whatsoever. Yes we all have different hair- I used these exact same products every single time and even left it in for 40minutes. Yes we all have different hair but no way

I typically do not comment but you saved me! I used your technique and worked like a charm! Thank you so much for sharing.
Christy Lyn,

Just hit the bell so I can see all your other videos! Take care and be safe everyone😉
Thank you so much for this. People keep telling me to use a toner when really I’ve needed this demi.

This video had ALL of the information I had been looking for!!!! Thank you.
This looks as if it’s exactly what I need! I am so glad I saw this video! Thank you for sharing! Your hair looks beautiful!
Thanks! Just remember the dyes often turn out darker so maybe do a shade lighter than you want to be safe :) Otherwise they will fade after awhile if it’s darker than you wanted.
Bought this product because of you!!! Thanks so much for the super helpful video! Your hair looks amazing then and now! 😊

Yellowish hair looks good
Awesome video. You are a doll... Thanks for sharing 😁
Did you do your roots yourself...smudging them? If so, do you have a video?
I did do my own roots!! I had a hard time finding a good video teaching me how to do it so I just experimented until I found a method that worked. I did not record me doing it unfortunately because I wasn’t sure if I was going to like how it turned out. I wish I would have though!

I currently have blond hair and adore purple shampoo!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!! Do you have a favorite brand of purple shampoo?
LOVE your hair! Great job!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing- turned out great 👍🏻 hope mine does too.. after watching this Im sure it will...👍🏻
Good luck!! I really hope it works for you too! ☺️
How long does this last?
How long did you leave it in hair
Would this work using ION demi color with the wella activating lotion?
The box says not to use different brands with each other and specifically says the activating lotion is only to be used with this dye. I wouldn’t recommend trying to mix 😘
Did you not find this dye to be overly liquid-y? I just used it and I couldn't believe how liquid it was. It was dripping all over the place.

Good luck! I hope it works well for you too! 💕
You seem SO sweet! Thank you for this video it was super helpful to have someone try this toner out before I tried it. :)
Aww thank you!! I really hope it works for you! ☺️
Great video! My home color never comes out that good Lol! Love the music also!
Thanks friend! I’ve been trying to step up my RUclips game, including the music! 💛 It took me awhile before I found a method I liked at home as far as hair color goes!!

Would this work if you have highlights and not completely dyed hair?
It might make the highlights blend a bit in to the rest of your hair. What I mean is it might lighten the rest of your hair a little bit so your highlights won’t like quite as “highlighted”
That said, I do it all the time and I like how it looks personally :)

amazing video !!
Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful!
So 1full tube of color to half a bottle (4oz) of activating lotion ?
Whatever it says in the instructions of the dye. I can’t remember off the top of my head but I believe I showed it in the video :) Just make sure to read the actual instructions in the box
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!! I’ll have another hair video coming up soon!
Love the color
blessed mama v Thank you!! 💕
Nice color.
I’m going to do my hair and never find any video about 10NA. You saved me🥹 thank you a lot🥰
Wat volum Is the
vactavater
10 developer is almost the exact same thing.
What can u use instead of the lotion??
You have to use the lotion that goes with the dye. There is nothing else you can use instead of it with that brand of dye.
I have found a new dye that I really like which is called Garnier Olia hair color. Everything you need comes in the box and it is very gentle on your hair (it also does not use ammonia).

What is this song? Love it!
It’s called “Let it Shine On Me” by Tommy Ljungberg. I absolutely LOVE it too!!!
THIS DID NOT WORK. ugh. my hair was the same tone as Christy's before applying toner and it did not work
Maybe try a darker shade? It has to be dark enough to cover the brassiness. I have found it works best for me to use a shade darker than my current shade. Sorry it didn’t work for you :(
are you a ballerina ;) beautiful colour!
Aww thanks! I wish I were a ballerina!! That would be super cool!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 💛
You should put toner on damp hair.
Shampoo only, towel dry and use the toner, wait 20 mins then rinse and condition...
Shampoo after toner prematurely strips out the toner you applied, and toning with damp hair helps distribute more evenly
This is a demi permanent haircolor. Not a toner. Directions do not call for wet hair. Wetness dilutes the develper
If you actually watched the video you would see it’s not a toner it’s a Demi permanent hair dye which merely coats the outside layer of the hair. If her hair was wet when applying it would have hardly changed the colour as there would have been a barrier
1000% correct. All the professionals tell you to tone (even with demi) with damp hair.
Okay but you obviously have a filter on this
Something seems off here there is no way 10na is touching that level hair.
I would bet anything that it made her hair shiny and her lighting changed . I have bleached hair levels 8-10 and this made zero difference on any area whatsoever.
Yes we all have different hair- I used these exact same products every single time and even left it in for 40minutes. Yes we all have different hair but no way
Pretty sure she hasn't. She is in a bathroom with bad lighting then showing hair in natural light
I don't like toned hair I like yellow bleached hair
U want to choose toner by the darkest part of ur hair not lightest
Great job! Thank you
