Hi I love the fact that you know what you're talking about. Your communication is excellent. You're very good at explaining things in layman's terms and mostly I appreciate that you're don't treat us like dummies.
Just one tiny suggestion. Can you tell us the name of each product you're holding up? I couldn't see them very well so I don't know what some of them are.
Hey love thank you so much only just seen your video. I've been using really dark hair dyes but I haven't used them for over a year I paid somebody £200 to put streaks in my hair but now I can't afford that so I'm doing it myself can you tell me the the best dye to get colour to use and where I can buy that from thank you
I have always been told the mineral salts in box dyes are the issue not actually the non customised colour. I was always told if someone came to me with box dye the mineral salts in box dye can react with things like bleach and this is when u get the hair melting, smoking etc
As a single mom with two small children, thank you. Can't afford $140 every 6/8 weeks all the time and this helps.
L'Oréal excellence grey cover is the best I think. I receive alot of compliments using the blonde. If you have grey hair that used to be light brown . You don't need to go to hairdresser. Plus not damaging like bleech.
2 small children... Oh girl.
I'm Single with no kids, and I STILL can't afford to get my color done at a salon. I use the cheapest one..Revlon Color Silk..and have had great results. People tell me it looks natural. And I also use 2 different colors..Ultra Light Blonde and Champagne Blonde. I alternate the colors, but keeping most of the brightness around the face. There may be some differences in color formulas, but I really think the application makes a big difference too.
I would say that's affordable (even so I would still not go, there's so many things you can actually do with those money) but I'm in London and a hair bleach and a toner after is around 500, pounds not dollars😳. I went to ask to see if I can afford it and I just went out, nope, nope nope 😂😂😂😂😂
@@dreamscape405 yeah, I'm single, no kids ever. Luckily I only had to color my hair once every 4 months. My hair grows slowly which is good
Thank you for this. It’s so frustrating to hear hair stylists constantly calling out the public for using at-home dyes and *never* acknowledging that some people simply cannot afford salon prices. We all want beautiful hair! It’s really tone deaf to not mention that price is a barrier, and this is one reason I love watching your videos!
Do you have a Sally's? A tube of color and developer costs me around 15.00, if that. Then just the plastic tray and brush that is used over and over again. I get at least 2 uses out of one tube (I usually grab another color to mix with if I can as it covers my gray better) and one little developer so I'm actually saving money. I used to be intimidated to go in there and I really thought it would be expensive but it isn't. I totally understand the price thing, I'm on an extremely tight budget aka (poor). I bought a toner and it is around 6.00. If you can buy a large bottle of developer (around 20.00) you can save money as well however I can't always afford that. Just incase some people didn't know. 😊
I totally agree
Some of us need to color every 3 to 4 weeks and $100 plus every 3 weeks is just too much!
Yeeessss
Amen. It comes off SO OFTEN as so snotty, looking down on you…I had one hair dresser admit that I had done a good job
I used Olia Dark Blonde during quarantine to fix a half yellow, half white disaster that a supposed expert colorist left me with when my stylist was between salons. I went to my salon, MY stylist (and other stylists) actually complimented my color! She even commented on how healthy my hair was! I really like it! (I went from naturally dark blonde with lots of gray and a hot multicolored mess of highlights to dark blonde all over, and my color turned out exactly the color that it showed on Garnier’s website’s little color guide/checker. It covered everything without looking flat or dull. Hope this is helpful!)
REALLY helpful. I’m in a similar situation due to illness - long grey roots and the lengths of my hair bleached yellow-white haphazardly (thanks pro)! NEED to cover grey and even everything out with a more natural finish. I’ll give Olia a bash. Can I ask, did you go with 8 or 9 in your situation?
@@spellywelly I went with 9. However, I don’t know if I got a bad batch from Amazon or if Garnier changed the formula, but the last two times I used the Olia it faded quickly and dramatically, and didn’t have the same gray coverage - so disappointing! I switched to Revlon ColorSilk which is also ammonia free (Dark Ash Blonde), and it did really well. It’s not as moisturizing, but the color and coverage was good. If the Olia doesn’t work for you that might be a good alternative. Hope this helps!
@@MJT66 yep very helpful indeed! Thanks for responding. Dying over bleach was worrying me but it sounds like box dyes have come on a bit since I last used one, in about 2003 😅
I’ll try Olia first because condition pretty dubious, but it’s helpful to have a backup!
This is so thoughtful of you, all stylists always just says “never use box dye” it’s like okay I’ve been getting color professional and I do it at home sometimes but I have brunette so it’s easier I guess. I’m going to try these ones now!
I think its a case of "people are gonna do it regardless (esp in pandemic).. so at least let em do it right" and i appreciate that greatly! 😊
Finally a stylist makes this video! Thank you!💙
haha I should have made this a long time ago.
@@Ellebangs better late than never!
@@SuzanneM0814 q
I only use Demi-permanents, in Salon and in between, namely L'Oréal Casting Creme Gloss. Honestly can't fault it!! Covers, blends greys, really nice brunette shades, adds tones to the hair, even as it fades out your greys take on more the undertone of the colour so stay blended! Hair always conditioned really well afterwards and for weeks!!
What is “Demi/permanent? I’m assuming a semi permanent hair color that washes out over the weeks??? (I have gone back to my natural brunette but gray is coming in around my face. It also gets brassy pretty quick (within about 6 weeks of salon color. I have warm tones so it gets orangey) I would prefer to just color my hair at home now. I stopped the highlights because my hair gets damaged super easy and I don’t like high maintenance......
@@clemmycat I wish she would of answered your question...Im right there with you😫
@@chastity5214 Hi, I've been using the Loreal Casting since the pandemic started - it's great! Demi permanent in this case means it should wash out completely after 20-30 washes. I figure I would have to let my hair grow out for about 4 months to see it completely gone.
@@witchescauldron Thanks so much for replying and for the information
I've never found a hair color that completely washes out:\
This is the first time I have seen you on RUclips and I am forever grateful that you are understanding that life treats us all differently and some are unable to go to the salon. Thank you for your grace in helping everyone.
Finally a stylist who’s helping us DIY’s. It sucks when stylists claim to get color you have to come in and pay $120+
I love this ! As a cosmetologist, I’m always looking for alternatives for people. I don’t live in an exactly wealthy town, and some people can only afford a haircut. If you ask what’s a cheaper alternative, I want to point you in the right direction . Thank you !💜
Please do a video on how to achieve your current color!!! LOVE ITTTTT
YASSSSSS!!!!!! #goalhair
I mentioned at the end of this video that Im currently working on my hair transformation video. I'm hoping to have that up for you next week!
@ellebangs Notifications turned on. 👍
YES YES YES
I have seen said video! I speak only the truth. Several years ago I wanted to touch up my highlights (hairdresser2) and I came across Elle foiling her hair with I think 4 foils just on top and instead of my typical back foiling away from the face, she said “if you need a touch up bad and usually have a really light color, this will get you by” she foiled alternating a beige blonde and lightener to get her white pieces and did it parallel to the part. I remember thinking “this isn’t gonna work“. Lo and behold this bitch had done rocked the dopest blonde highlights I had ever seen... and she still has them to this day and they’re amazing.
Of course I tried it and accidentally got a bleed mark next to my part but that was my bad. Don’t drink and foil my friends! LMAO
I enjoy your peaceful calm attitude towards this explanation
I learned the hard way not to pick a colour based what’s on the front of the box... thanks for this video!
Wow. One of the best most informative videos on hair I have seen in a while. I have wasted so much money and just gotten wanted colors via boxed dye by really just pure luck, and a lot of hair damage. How naive of me 🤦🏻♀️..thank you! Definitely subscribing. 👍🏻👏🏼
I'm so glad I found this video. I had to go back to box hair colour since my hair salon closed due to Covid, and is still only cutting hair, not colouring. I have been cutting my own hair for over a year with the help of one of your hair trimming videos. The box colours that I bought always went too dark, then ended up too light. I had a very nasty experience with Garnier hair colour, so avoid that like the plague. On your recommendation 2 weeks ago I tried esalon. What a difference! I asked for a dark blonde shade and it came out dark blonde straight away. So far it isn't lightening, so I will continue with them. I have asked for a gold tone to be added to my next order colour. I am very happy with my hair colour now, so a big thank you Silvia. It's all thanks to you. :)
Hi, I just tried garnier olia hair color does a great job. Less hair fall after coloring ,the conditioner that comes with the box made my hair soft and does not have a strong ammonia smell.Thanks for your review.
I’ve used the Kristen Ess gloss several times and I love it! I currently use the Bittersweet color and it’s great for darkening my hair a bit once my salon gloss starts to fade. I always get compliments on the color
On
I just found you. I’m grateful for you. I knew nothing. I am a Redhead, and never had to dye my hair. Women were trying to have my hair colour.
I was so fortunate for a beautiful hair color, but now it’s fading getting gray. You have been very helpful thank you.
i used to always be blonde an it was nice but hair gels gave me split ends .i still have thick hair but they are finer now.. i really feel like dermarolling you're scalp gives you beautiful healthy thick hydrated hair too for hair goals ... ..
I just tried the Kristen Esse gloss and love it. It did not change m to hair color but it made it look healthier. Thank you very informative
I love your videos! You are so sweet and kind to share your knowledge. I appreciate you being understanding that some really cannot afford a hairdresser but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve hair that makes them feel beautiful.
I've been using Olia to cover my grays for about 8 years now, and it doesn't fade and my hair is healthy and shiny. Also, i have waist length hair.
My hair is fairly thick on top but not so much on sides and at the hairlines. My hair is so fragile and baby fine it's as if I could compare it to the texture of many 95 year old say, aged women. I wear wigs since menopause and love them. But I do want to cover my graying natural hair. I am no longer able to use semi permanent so will try permanent. You're video was just what I needed. ❤
Your hair looks stunning!!
Thanks love!
I’ve never tried to do my hair at home but am in a tight spot after losing several jobs due to COVID; THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE! ♥️
THANK YOU because some of us don't have the money to spend at a salon, it's quite expensive and sometimes you're not even satisfied with the results. I've had my scalp burned & damaged from a salon and they were rude about it ! definitely deterred me from going back, I prefer to do my own hair now.
Great video! I color my short gray hair at home. My daughter goes to salon for blonde hair. She bleaches then tones a very light ash blonde. In a week or so beautiful lightest blonde. Expensive but they do it right. Her hair is very long. She’s natural med brown. So she gets her hair almost white then 2 weeks later she puts on a semi pink color. She’s an artist.
First time in the morning my beautiful friend your email
I’ve been to a salon before to go from dyed black hair to my natural color; it was expensive, my hair fell out, and in the end the color looked awful. Recently I did it myself with box color and went from dyed dark hair to my natural color which is dark blonde and it looks great! And my hair is still very healthy.
Thank you so much. I've been using esalon for a few years now (at your recommendation) and I'm so happy with the results. God bless you and your precious baby and family. I love all your videos Sylvia. Always such great advice. I highly respect and recommend you to others.
Thank you for always being so kind and caring in sharing your knowledge for all that search for the info you provide. Especially the Diy blonde upkeep! God bless!
Thank you for doing this video! I was disappointed though that there was no mention of worst box hair color, which you promoted in your title.
You really should explain henna!!! There’s no way back after except cutting and growing!
Don't take the Henna road.. It's a one way street, no return! Nasty!
I just successfully bleached out my henna, after two bleaches its light enough and I'm looking for an ash blonde because I've seen it covers and tones out any left over yellow or gold orange. This is after hennaing my hair for about 6 years. There's always hope! Just always do a test strand.
I hennaed my hair for years and loved it, but I knew I wasn't going to change my hair color. If you're someone who likes to switch it up, it's not for you :).
You really do beautiful make up, too!
You really are stunning...and a very thoughtful person.
Can you please speak about the whole "no peroxide?" People think...oh, no peroxide, so it won't harm my hair. "Cream developer" does the same thing.
OH MY GOD REALLY ?!?! So when they say "developer" in box dye they actually mean peroxide ? Even in dark colours ? Omg I never knew that!
@@natashawarden2810 yes, the white creamy developer is peroxide
Most of the time I'm not satisfied with either the cut (very badly done) or the color and all of this for around 280$. So now, I stop going to the salon most of them dont listen and do what they like or are able to do... I do my own cut and color. I manage ok with the color and would prefer more high end result like I used to have but my hair still look nice and I save A LOT !
I am watching this not because I can't afford a stylist but because I cannot get a stylist to do exactly what I want and I want to be able to accurately describe to them what I want or even try it myself. I appreciate the information.
Thank you. Obviously going to the salon would be my preferred choice. Even though it's well worth it. Everyone doesn't has the means to go to the salon. I like to do the best I can to take care of myself at home and this was really helpful as my hair is pretty dark they never know if I'm using the stuff.
I needed you a month ago! 😭😭 I definitely had a boxed blonde tragedy on my brunette hair.
I’ve been using the ice cap the past 3 months maybe every every 4-6 weeks … ( I’ve messed up by dying my hair different colors) and so far gotten my hair pretty light ! Bleaching my hair completely gives me anxiety. But unfortunately I don’t have a lot of money
I've heard a lot of negative things about Olia. Like it makes your hair fall out, and washes out in only a couple washes. I planned on using Olia to go back to my natural until I heard about the hair loss. That scared me away.
I have used Olia several times in the past and yes, my hair did fall out a lot but it has been over a year since I used it and I went to a hairdresser few times and my hair still falls out... so I am not sure that it is all just from Olia hair dye
Merry Christmas Elle and to all of your family! Merry Christmas to all of your subscribers and the community! Have a great weekend and a joyful New Year to everyone! 🤗
i recently just used the olia box dye in black and it came out absolutely amazing over my faded purple hair
I love your hair color, Sylvia!! It's beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your videos with us!! We appreciate it!! Very good information!! 💖
You are so humble and sweet, and also incredibly helpful.
An advice that I have read regarding the hair colour is to do it as natural as possible choosing 1-2 hair tones lighter or darker than your natural colour. Your hair won't look cheap and will suit the skin tone. Regarding the hair dye, I do like Garnier olia and l'oreal , the best so far
Thank you 🙏🏼for being this kind about box dye it makes me want to come to you when I am able to afford a stylist. ❤️
You can also find Keune colors in Europe, I don't know how is outside EU. And they are semi or "professional". You can also find high lift series and toners. Not too expensive, around 10€. But just be careful using them on very thin hair, because the consistency is very thick.
I'm too cheap to go to the salon to color my hair. I have trouble with my shades of red and they fade out too quickly. Any tips?
Thank you! I can’t afford to pay $400 at LA salons anymore 😢
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours ❤
Thank you for this video. I washed it back when you posted but I needed it while I was away from home.
I loved Kristen Ess copper penny! Everyone who learned I wasn’t a natural redhead was shocked
Thank you for your advice and help. I can’t afford to go to the salon for a few more months, so now I feel like I can get rid of those gray roots on my reddish- brown hair and get rid of the brassiness too. Thank you 💜💜
super helpful video however i think it’s important to be aware that if you do the henna-based color it will be more difficult to get the color out if you decide you want to bleach it as henna is very hard to get out!
Thank you so for all ur tips!! My hair right now is a dark ash blonde with dark brown grown roots 😅.. I am 1 month pregnant 🤰🏼 and don’t want to deal with retouch my roots so much since I am pregnant. I really want a dark brown box hair dry to much the rest of my roots but not sure if I should get a cool medium brown from L’Oréal preference or a dark ash brown I don’t want red tones also I am afraid using a dark brown and came out too dark I don’t want black hair just a ashy or cool dark brown
Box Color CAN do a Reasonably good job as long as you know what you are doing and DON’T expect too much. Gel Or Shampoo-In Color with Ammonia will give better Gray Coverage generally speaking, they also usually lighten better. CREME COLOR gives a more conditioning result (usually) but often does not lighten as much. AMMONIA-FREE Colors will be gentler on the hair and scalp but often don’t cover Gray as well or lighten as much. L’Oreal PREFERENCE is one of the better general purpose colorants for lightening and Gray coverage as well as long-lasting color. EXCELLENCE is best for hair that tends to dry out after coloring or is more fragile. REVLON ColorSilk is a good choice for an AMMONIA-FREE colorant as long as you don’t need to cover a lot of Gray or need big a color change.
Tried the Kristin Ess Winter Wheat toner, did a great job of adding shine and fixing brass
I’ve been using eSalon for months now love it
Me too. I'm new to esalon, but love my colour. I only found them after watching this video.
Omg thank you so much, the boxed color tricked me into thinking that’s what I’m getting 😂
I always do it at home with box . Few months ago I did someth wrong and not sure what. I got a red / mahagony/ burgundy , I always get some red burgundy in different brands and whatever I find at Walmart 😂. But this time my hair got so dark , almost black . I still have the black 3 inch from roots , I have to do a bleach wash bc it staring to piss me off 😩.
But the point is how was it possible in the first place ? To get such a black tint on my hair from burgundy box 🤔
This is why I f%#& with you! I have 4 kids, 2 of which are 9 month old twins and I have NO me time right now. I love going to the salon but with babies and a pandemic I have had to resort to box color for my grey hairs 😒 Thank you for this
Thanks for always sharing so much with us! I actually bought the redken shades eq 09p and 09n recently to do my hair and all of your tips have been so helpful!
Where did you get Redken from
@@renaissancewoman100 you can order it offline, I also have friends who are cosmetologist that have been willingto help out with the pandemic too......I just searched for redken shades eq and their processing developer to use with it. I'm not sure but Sally's or Walmart or something may have it too.... 🤔
Yes I love your hair color.
I used Clairol Ultra Blue (not sure they still sell it) many years ago...it made my hair like Eminem's with absolutely zero orange! But it took 90 minutes to do it.
This is my first video from u ! Thank u for the info ! 😍
hi from austin texas 🤘🏼 😷
latina here, wishing you could get me blonde or recommend just as good a colorist as YOU!
I feel like something that hair stylist do not really touch on is that if your hair is thinning and falling out not due to excessive coloring/heat please go to the doctor. Hair does not grow from the ends but from the scalp. After years of trial and error of coloring my own hair, Sally's Beauty Supply is great for hair color. Hair color does not lift color. It helps to know the color wheel. Your videos are helpful.
Thanks girl
Good to know😊
Thank you for that. Always love hearing what you have to say!
Hi Elle I love your videos and your hair always looks incredible. I have Jet black hair and I was getting ice ashy baby lights done for years and loved the color. She would do my color in 3 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, after the pandemic, she stopped working and left New York City. Since then I tried one person who took seven hours and she has also left New York City at this point and then I tried one other person who the first time did a great job (it took her about 6 hours as well) but then the second time this person completely burned my hair the front pieces fell out all together now I look like I have bangs and she didn’t even get me light enough plus, however she did the highlights. It ends up looking like an all over color instead of it looking like highlights I’m not sure why, I know she used Redken products. I don’t know if that’s why but the original person I used to go to I believe used a bottle that looks like the Schwarzkopf bottle.
Now I’m stuck. I don’t know what to do. I tried going on a consultation and the person told me that the front of my hair is burned which I knew already and that she doesn’t more natural look than what I’m looking for. It’s confusing only because it seems everyone else is going to need 6+ hours to do my hair whereas my regional hairstylist was doing it in 3 1/2 hours And the color is coming out perfect every single time. It must’ve been the products she was using that agreed with my hair. I’ve been hiding in my house for months. I’m so isolated and not feeling attractive anymore. I saw someone in the st pushing a baby carriage, and she had super dark eyebrows, and all over blonde color that I loved. She said she uses L’Oreal number nine from the box she has all over color not baby lights but it this point I’m thinking of just trying it when I told her that I’m afraid to go orange she told me she has the same natural hair color as mine and it made her hair this super bright blonde I’m afraid to try can you please advise me before I go any further? I’ll wait to hear back from you. 🙏🏼Thank you so much.
Is it good to put a plastic cover on your head while coloring your hair?
you are by far the most educated hairdresser on RUclips.
I've learned so much from you. Great "Ted Talk"! Thank you. :)
I love your videos, Sylvia!! Thank you for sharing them with us!! 💖
I have paid over $100 for a color at my salon and it faded in days and I did not wash but once or twice in two weeks and used a quality color preserving shampoo. So I’ve done my own for the last four years and it last soooooo much longer!
I loved so much from you
By the way is your hair ombré or balayage
I would love that color
I have a mix of balayage and babylights with a root smudge.
You are so amazing!! GOD bless you 🙏🏽
I been watching your videos and I’m getting prepare to do my own hair 👀... I have all your step written down 😉
Many blessing 🙏🏽❤️🥰
In my experience I have had pretty bad results every time I use Loreal products that always turn out much, much darker than expected (and I have ca 35 years of experience colouring, toning and bleaching my hair) and are very difficult to remove/fix, where as Schwartzkopf products have usually given me the wanted results. But as you say, the picture on the box is only a guide and of course depends on ones starting point.
it’s important to a) use common sense, research the product on their website, google reviews/results (with images/video) of others that had a similar starting point, using various products (though differing textures & thickness, as well as natural/ coloured/ bleached hair starting points determines the end result, it can give you an idea of the “direction” a product will take you😉), b) not expect the colour on the box, if you are “gambling” by using a product that actually tells you ON THE BOX, is wrong for your hair tone/level and c) learn a bit of colour & chemistry theory before diving in and d) enjoy playing around, because even when things don’t alwaysgo quite as planned (unless you decide to bleach your hair to death!) mistakes can be always be fixed - and some “mistakes” can turn out to be the perfect colour you never knew you dreamed of😁👍🏼
Would you recommend L’Oréal Féria? I have used that one every time a lighten.
Thanks for doing this! I'm feeling well informed!
I used a box color (Loreal), just a level or 2 from my natural shade. It fried my hair. My hair came out in handfuls. This was about a year ago and the hair just above my ears is very thin and never grew back. It burned my scalp. I would never use this brand again.
Get Olaplex!!!!! It's the only thing that rescued me from losing all of my hair. You can try a million different moisturizing hair products, but none of them are going to actual repair your hair like a protein bonder.
OMG I just bought Loreal ash blonde to cover my orange roots. I knew I was hesitating for a reason. Thanks
I use l'oreal for years now... I have a level 7 naturally, and I use a '8' boxdye from l'oreal. I now and then used another brand but the l'oreal keeps color the longest and most shiny, while a lot of other brands fade earlier or lost it's shine. I have never had problems with it, but I only dye the root area, so not always full lengths because I have long hair and I don't want to ruin it. I do actually add a bond protector into the dye , I use the Matrix Bond Ultim8 amplifier.
@@renaissancewoman100 I use Revlon Colorsilk with a 10 Volume developer from Sally's (AgeBeautiful is my favorite; Clairol gold label is good, too; Ion is too thin for roots only).
I also mix Colorsilk shades inside an empty plastic water bottle, so I can create a customized shade to later mix with a 10 Volume developer.
Good luck!🙂
@@renaissancewoman100 That doesn't happen with everyone.
Also what hair will be bleached or coloured depends if your starting hair is virgin or dyed and how many previous layers
Odd question but are you considered a true neutral skin tone? I feel like the hairstylist I've been seeing for years is not very helpful with getting the tone right according to my skin tone. I love her but maybe if I am more clear about what color I am trying to achieve it will come out much better!
Tried Loreal purple conditioner for brassiness. It did help little bit.
Great video. I have mature, gray / mixed natural medium-light blond. I do almost exclusively salon color (all-over, roots, sometimes a few highlights or lowlights. When I’ve attempted at home /DIY color I choose demi-permanent (like they do in salon). I tried eSalon demi-permanent once and the gray coverage was almost non-existent. Also, I chose a light beige blond (always battling a bit of brassiness so cooler beige is better) and it looked quite dark. So … my only eSalon experience wasn’t the greatest. Any thoughts or comments or tips would be greatly appreciated!!
Have you done a video on going silver?
I tried the Olia and while I love the formula, it washes out really fast.
What technique if hair color is this lady wearing in her hair? I love it! Is it just highlights?
Just a question for anyone who’s used Kristen Ess gloss…. Have you experienced super dry hair after use? I’m talking like a few months of madness??
I have used this product 3 times because the immediate results were Fanfudgintastic!
Then after about a week, my hair was fried!
I was using soooo many oils and deep conditioning masks to repair the damage. It took several months for my hair to pretty much get back to normal.
Then decided to buy it again cuz felt hair was looking dull again between color and I liked the initial feel ( wasn’t thinking that it was the issue at the time)
The same result…. I started to wonder if it was my shampoos etc…
I tried it one last time after my hair was healthier. That’s when I realized it’s the Kristen Ess product itself.
Packaging can be deceptive because it looks fancy and expensive and it says Kristen Ess!
So duh!
I highly encourage anyone trying this to monitor their locks after a few days and proceeding weeks to get an accurate report of how it worked for you!
I bought it on Amazon and ended up not using it because after reading much more in depth on the reviews I kept seeing a lot of people mentioning this exact problem. I decided not to risk it on my hair since I saw so many women complaining of that and combined hair loss/thinning. Again, I didn’t use it personally, I backed out after reading more of the reviews and just returned it
Can you pppllleeaaasseee do another video like this, but for Ginger/Copper hair colours!!
Your hair looks so pretty
Tried multiple times to book an appointment but never got a response. As you are advertising it - are you still offering the service? Thanks!
I could not see any of the names of the products. Wanted to know the lightener.
As a broke person thank you. It annoys the hell out of me girls saying "just go to the salon!!" you think i want to do this myself?? I'm broke!! 😂😂
First time I have ever heard - if your before color is not on the box it is not going to work for you. Explains all my failures.
Can i use the colorista lightener/bleach to do DIY highlights on my warm brownish red hair and then add a Kristen Ess toner/gloss?
Thank you for helping us all achieve the hair of our dreams from home and on a budget. You are a gem, truly.
I wish you would have compared Schwartzkopf. I really like it.
My hair is Snow White, I was a redhead with brown eyes, and financially limited. My plan is to reverse frost with medium brown, then color with a light warm blond. Will this work?
Now with what. About using ion bleach and wella toner which I do for me as a former hairdresser. But I agree when I was a redhead I tried every box color out there the best by far is garner olivia which is now cruelty free. She failed to mention never put henna products on bleached or highlighted hair and don’t expect to ever remove them without cutting it all off thanks
Thanks so much for the info I was shocked that I use the dye you recommend although when I did use the same product to brighten because I have such fine hair it did get a little dry
