  • Hi lift colors for blonde hair. I use a level 12N neutral. Gives a balanced cool ash tone to the hair. No more brass. No more roots. Easy at home hair tutorial! I show you a little more advanced way to lighten hair. In this case here I'm showing how to to a root touch up to match blonde highlight and base. I am using a level 12N high lift. I explain how when using a high lift you use two parts developer and only one part color, and using a 30 or 40 vol developer. A high lift gives many more levels of lift than color does and sometimes almost as many levels as bleach can. So why use high lift instead of bleach?! Because high lift developers the cancel out color as you lift, so toning is no longer needed becausue its technically toning (or deposting orange-canceling tones. So much quicker and effective.

    You are a genius. Last night I was desperate for a root quick fix. I usually have my hair done at the salon and pay a pretty penny each time. This was my first ever attempt at doing my own hair and your way is fool proof! My hair looks amazing and the colour is better than what my hairdresser does. It cost me 1/20 of what the salon charges!

    This worked perfectly for me. I did leave it on for 20 minutes. I would say I'm a level 6/7 naturally. It did come out perfectly toned and blended well into my already lightened hair. This is definitely becoming part of my hair lightening regime. Thanks! 😉

    Silvia, I love your videos! I had been paying way too much to leave the salon feeling like I didn't really get what I wanted since going blonde. After the last bad appointment with hair that was way too yellow I started watching your videos. I was able to put some low lights in and tone the yellow out at home for a fraction of the cost that my stylist would have charged. Well, now it was time for roots and I was very scared to use the higher volume developer but after watching this video I did it and it is FABULOUS! No orange/yellow mess! Didn't need to tone and it looks way more natural than what my stylist had been doing. Thank you so much for all your videos!

    This worked amazingly well. I wanted a change and thought about just coloring my face framing blonde pieces dark then saw this tutorial. It made my root hair color a nice cool ash blonde, a bit darker then I expected but it blends well. I went with Ash Blonde, HiColor Hilights from Loreal and the tone looks fantastic, no brassy/orange like I would have had with my wella bleach. It's now a great toned down blonde for fall, so I'm happy! To mix double, use a food scale. My really light blonde got a little color on it and went a little blue (she mentions that this can happen and to be careful) so I stress not getting ham with brush, which requires lots of practice. Great tutorial!

    I tried this, but I am using 12AA - thanks for demonstrating your technique. I am a natural blonde whose color seems to have faded! I get brassy quickly. I had colored my hair about ten years ago and use Loreal lightest ash blonde and found the ends became dry and tended toward blue. I have been successful using the Wella products and am now adding the violet toner to the mix of color with developer. It seems to work!

  • @kimrox5944
    @kimrox5944 5 лет назад +6

    Its just to soften the root everyone. The original root was darker.she's saying she does this to root color then does the highlights to get her overall color.

  • @torreyscott12390
    @torreyscott12390 10 лет назад +43

    You are beautiful! Great technique for a little in between salon visits touchup. But as a professional I would suggest to any viewers that you try to understand this concept. In layman's terms we hair stylists say that 'hair color does not lift hair color' meaning the 12N being using is not intend to significantly lift natural or previously colored hair. The end result we see here looks a bit brassy and not as cool toned as most viewers would probably like to see. So instead of using a hair color cream, I suggest you look for an extra high lift cream that tones the hair as well. Many brands have their own versions (I prefer Redkens Color Fusion Extra Lift series), and most come in tones such as V (violet tone) , N (neutral tone) , B (blue tone) , T or S (titanium or silver tone). Mix this type of cream with 20 - 40 volume developer depending on your natural level and process it for 30-90 minutes in open air or covered with a plastic cap, depending on how much your scalp can take. I know the timing sounds crazy, but all professionals know that some rules can be broken. In the case of having a dark natural hair color and trying to get a lighter cooler result this extended timing is necessary. Best of luck!!!

  • @wondrnthru211
    @wondrnthru211 8 лет назад

    This worked great! Roots were level 4 and this lifted to 8-9. I used One 'N Only Argan Oil Hair Color Hi-Lift Neutral Blonde (11HLN) . A pro handled the initial lightening from a dark red-purple to my current light blonde with low-lights. It took 3 visits and some major $$$. The bleach did a number on my hair even with her being very careful, so I'm hesitant to go that route just yet. This was much kinder and I love that it's so reasonable.

    It's so refreshing how you're not all into yourself. You call it shy. I call it refreshing. Especially since you're so pretty. I love the ymms, and looking away. Here's a RUclips tip. Do the same videos over and over again; we don't learn very fast, and miss things you said, but we might catch it again in the next video. Like even though I watched all of them, I loved the one on developers only, which was a total repetition. You could do one on semi permanent vs permanent. Lots of us are gray so there's that. You could do one on just colors. What's Wella N or W, for example? And I'm glad you share your color, since it looks so much darker on camera than the color looks on me, so it gives me perspective. Thanks a million!

So after watching this video, I went to Sally's to buy the supplies! It worked like a charm and I was able to get it to match my color perfectly!! From now on, I will always use this to touch up my roots on my own to add me some more time in between salon visits! Thanks for your wonderful, instructional videos!! :)

    I used this method with one bottle of wella 12N high lift and 2 parts 30 developer. My roots are amazing!! They are a cool blonde color. I only left on for 20 minutes and that was plenty long enough. I started with a root color of a 5 brown which is dark. I am so happy with this it is all I will do from now on. Thank you so much I love your videos!!!!

    • @cgoldiemill
      @cgoldiemill 9 лет назад

      Lupita G My color is dark brown. Don't leave on very long or it goes to next level which is more towards blonde. This just makes the brown easier to deal with. I was just looking for a lighter brown. I left it on 20 minutes.

    • @TremendaReina

    • @pennylaine
      @pennylaine 9 лет назад +2

      Cynthia, i did this exact method...it turned out super bright....I feel like a total blonde :) I might need to put some dark low lights in next processing. My under part of my hair is my natural dark brown...so there's some contrast that looks nice. Thanks for your advice. I left it closer to 30 min. Next time I'll try 20-25. With 30 developer it did it's brightening that's for sure. I have thick fine hair. Guess it lightens pretty quickly.

    • @TheElfin24
      @TheElfin24 9 лет назад

      Hi Cynthia! I'm surprised and shocked that this worked for you! I'm very tempted to try myself but wonder if it's worth the hassle. I do my bleach regrowth around every 8-10 weeks. My natural level is around a 4 (guessing!) and I always was told by hairdressers that high lifts will not work for me. Roughly what level would it take me too in your opinion? Not sure whether to try or not and if this is actually drying for your hair anyway. Joan

    I'd use the CHI developer for the CHI product. My salon uses Goldwell (I recognized the developer bottle) and it's usually smarter to use the dedicated brand with the color. For instance, Goldwell just reformulated the colors and developers for better conditioning, but with other color lines, it may render the color impossible to develop. Just some info! You're hair is gorgeous btw.

  • @SherryWortman
    @SherryWortman 10 лет назад +2

    OK - I typed the below part before getting to my question, which is long so my question is, since you now use the high-lift root touch up, what is your schedule & formulas for keeping your hair blonde now? Have they changed or just the root touch up technique?
    I've watched all your hair dying videos, several times each. Studying them. I'm tired of spending too much money on getting my hair done. And then I'm not completely happy with it. If I was it wouldn't be so bad. I like it at first, but then it goes brassy. At least that's what I learned from your videos. A few months ago I did break down and buy a box kit. Ended up orange. Called the company, they told me to get another kit and do it again, then tone it. They told me what to buy and how to mix it to tone it. It was fine, but what I should have done was tone it again or get a really good blue shampoo like you suggested. Anyway, I love your color and from all you've said I think we're close to the same natural color. You maybe a bit lighter, but I think I've learned enough from you that I can adjust. I've watched several video's on how I went from Brown to Blonde, and some of the video's are way out there. I've seen orange hair and they thought it was blonde. Or it's someone with no idea what they are doing, fumbling around and get lucky and reach blonde, but after they have destroyed their hair. You video's are very well done, very professional and the icing on the cake is you have cosmetology schooling. Thank you. I will be trying this and I'll let you know how I make out. If it works, I'll owe you one.

    Balayage VS High-Lift roots confused
    Hi Silvia, first I know you most hear this a lot, but let me start by saying thank you, for taking time to give us the woman out there advice on how to look and feel better about ourselves. Silvia my level color is 3-4 and I did some highlights and they came out pretty good, that was for Christmas but when I got home I saw that my roots were like kind of orangey / brassy so I saw your video and I went running to Sally and bought the T12 toner and I was super happy to see that that ugly brassy color was tone down almost 70 % . Silvia the thing now is that it is going to be almost a month and I know that in the next week or so I need to re touch my roots, years ago I used to do it with L'Oreal Excellence hair color 9 light ash blonde. But now I hear a lot people saying that if I use 20 V I don't need to use the Ash but others tell me the Ash blocks that brassy / cooper color and now watching your videos I see you do Balayage and high lift in both video you did the roots. I wanted to know if its true that Ash kill the orange/brassy color? and from this 4 colors which one do you recommend, 8A- light ash blonde, 8n- light blonde, 9A- very light ash blonde or 9N very light blonde? the thing is that if I go for a medium blonde then its going to come out to dark and I want to go lighter. Please any advice I will greatly appreciated. Is that here in Miami to do a touch up is like $35.00 and that's with out blow dry or anything and at this moment I can't. Sorry for the bother and thank you again .
    In your messages I sent you a video of more or less the color of my hair .

  • @jenniferkrecker6967
    @jenniferkrecker6967 10 лет назад

    My hair is naturally a level 7 and I used high lift color (Loreal Mega Blondes) to get the result you see in my picture. During my last process, I used highlighting bleach safe for the scalp to fix my roots instead of the high lift color because I felt it wasn't lightening as much as I wanted. I now want to add more dimension to my color (it is now just allover blonde - no highlights - my hair lightens more in some places than others so it looks like I put highlights in but its just a one process color job.. - anyways I am afraid of going too dark/ruining my color. The technique you used in this video would most likely make my hair look 2 different colors (horizontally) right at the root line. Your color is perfect for your complexion and I was just looking for some tips specific to my pale and prone to redness skin in terms of a more dimensional color. I apologize for the long post but would love your feedback!

    Hi. Really excited to have come across your videos. We have similar hair and I'm about to follow your routine. After watching all of your videos over and over, I have three questions. 1) do u high lift roots and then bleach highlights on the same day?
    2) following highlights are you toning with wella over the 12n too?
    3) I've made the mistake of bleaching my highlights from root to end so that hair is very porous. Do you think low lighting with the 8n will be okay? Can I do anything to prep the middle section? Thanks for any help.

Anyways my roots are growing out and my blonde is starting to get a little brassy. What do you recommend if do about both? I was thinking doing a high lift on my roots like in this video, and then toning the rest of my hair. I'm just afraid of doing too much damage to my hair because I'm going to be a bridesmaid in mid Sept. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :) thanks!!

    Thank you very much for that example I am in desperate need of a retouch(12/blonde and highlights) ...my question is if my root(2/dark brown) is 5inchs grown can I do this lift process on myself ? If not what color will it turn out ?

    Hi Silvia, I have been using this technique the last few applications. it has been perfect. I had my hair chemically straightened (Brazilian keratin) about two weeks ago. need I say more??? My hair is yellow with orange tint and some level 10 blonde. At this point I want to go back to a medium ash blonde (my hair is damaged). Maybe I throw some blonder streaks around my face. There is about an inch of dark root growth. My natural base is a 6N. Please any suggestions!!! Trust me if I could afford a visit to Cali and have you work on my hair, I would!!! Ty

    Your videos have been very helpful! i attempted a highlight retouch and was happy with the results......on the pieces I got right. The very front however got totally ruined, I used a horrible brand of foil that had the see through part and it kept coming undone and sliding down my hair, spreading the bleach everywhere. Beyond frusterated I rinsed it out. I had previous highlights and wanted more all over blonde anyways. The problem is, there are some sections in the very front that have a line of brown still, and the hair in the front is still very much orangey/darker yellow. The other pieces are the nice light ashy blonde I wanted. How do I fix all the spread out splotches and orange highlights WITHOUT overbleaching the already very pale blonde highlights? I'm very afraid of overprocessing the blonde sections to where they pretty much disenegrate, as I've had a pricey salon do to me before ? HELP!!!

    I love this idea to do at home the roots for inbetween until next highlights with this amonia free Che IONIC PERMANENT color.
    Could you do more video with this color even for grayish hair.
    This looks very natural.

    Hi beautiful, I did my first set of highlights last Saturday, to later have your full color. Anyways, my questions are the following: I have a lot of gray hair, should I be doing high lift instead of coloring on my roots? If I could do high lift instead of coloring, would I still leave it 15 min? sorry but what is the difference between high lifting and hair dye color? Last but not least, what is the purpose of high lifting when you do your next set of highlights? Is it for bleaching to react faster and have less brassiness? Thank you so much!

    Hey Silvia! Quick question... So I have blonde hair at the moment maybe a couple levels darker than yours but I just did a root lift using 8N like you used to do to lift my regrowth a tad. Do you think it'd be okay if in a few weeks I do the highlift? Or will the highlift not lift my natural color (level4) and the 8n color to match my level 8 blonde hair? I just want to avoid two different color roots lol. Love your videos btw!! You were my inspiration to go blonde!

  • @Karina.Isabel_RDN
    @Karina.Isabel_RDN 8 лет назад

    So this is a replacement for hair color?...
    And it's better because it automatically leaves you without brassiness?
    And will it work for level 5/6 brown roots that I want to match (or get close) to my ends which are like level 9-10 if I use 12A? My ends are a little silvery after toning with purple shampoo and I want that silvery blonde to start higher up
    Thank you so much your videos are so helpful!!🙌🏼 🙏🏼👏🏼

My roots have grown and they are a dark brown color, i did not want to bleach my roots, and i want to try this method of yours, but i also want to lift all of my hair to a platinum blonde with purple/blue undertones. Is it okay to do my roots first and then apply the rest to my hair?

    Hello, is it possible to just use this method every few weeks along with the occasional toner and avoiding getting highlights done at a salon at all? I'm pretty fair already but have the occasional bleach and tint highlights done.. I was hoping I could just use this process alone and perhaps get highlights just a couple of times a year rather than every 13 weeks. Thanks for your time :) Lisa x

      I know this is comment is old, but for anyone looking for the answer to the question: foil the growth in thin slices as close to the scalp as you can to incubate the lighteneer, process for the full time, then apply bleach to the scalp, again processing for the full time. You can wipe the bleach in between these two steps if you wish but it's not necessary as the bleach will dry in the open air. Go for a 2nd or 3rd process if needed, depending on your banding situation. Make sure you criss-cross section the hair as you apply - i.e. if you section horizontally, go back in and section vertically to resaturate and ensure all your hair is covered in bleack. Process for the full time, per manufacturer instructions but if in doubt (rinse - leave alone - reapply when your scalp is ready) or just go to a salon. Happy lightening!
