  • Hey Y'all! This video will show you step by step how I color/highlight my hair at home for CHEAP ;)
    I started out using the Loreal Color Expert www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
    And went in afterward with the Revlon Frost and Glow. I will be using another application of the Frost and Glow soon to achieve more highlights and may film an update on that process.
    If you have any questions, please leave a comment below! Would love to hear from you guys!

    Hey, I think you did a great job. I just have 1 tip for you. When you're applying the color to cover the grey hair rub it through the strands but don't rub it into your scalp. That makes your head burn and itch!! I noticed you were doing that at the beginning of the application and said it was burning so I figured I'd let you know for future reference. I'm just starting my training in Makeup Artistry at the age of 48! I've always been fascinated with makeup and I love the way you did yours for this video 💕 Take Care, Cathy

    I watched your video twenty times before I finally bit the bullet and went through with coloring my own hair and I have to say I LOVE IT! Thank you for this! It gave me the confidence to do it.

    I must say that I love this vid. You get right to the point. No 10 to 15 mins of blah, blah, blah like other women/girls do, which is totally irrelevant to the vid. Its frustrating, which I end up switching off to another channel. I love how you keep me, the viewer totally engaged to the purpose of the vid at the same time talking a bit about yourself and family. Nicely done. Keep up the good work.

      I agree! Regarding DIY balayage videos… I have had to start watching the videos actually teaching the hairstylists the balayage technique because I will watch so many videos of other people and they just ramble on way too long.
      She is straight to the point!

    You look beautiful xox. I saw my first grey hair in my early 30s but have loved colouring my hair since. So now in my later 40s I am going for a golden brown tone and then when I get totally grey roots, I'll switch to lighter colours.

    Thanks for a great diy video! I'm a licensed hairdresser but I changed careers after I got my license. Ha ha so the only thing I use my license for is to purchase professional products. 😉
    I guess you could say that over the last couple months I've had hair stylists block (similiar to writer's block). I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with my hair.
    BUT seeing your video made me realize it's fall and I need to just do some balayage to wake my dull hair back up.
    Thanks!!!

  • @lesliebyrd5959

    Thank you for your video, I too would love to be brave and dye my own hair. It’s hard coming up with 100$ plus dollars to get my hair colored every few months cause I have grays too. I’m doing much research for different hair colors. You are very beautiful by the way. And thank you again! Your video was very helpful.

I think you did a fantastic job thank you for😊 sharing
    Once I was trying a new color and it said to put on clean washed hair I thought it meant wet hair so I bought Wella dark brown it came out as a really beautiful chocolate brown I'm not bragging but I got so many compliments for that it may have been well a darkest Brown I don't know but I put it on wet hair and it came out really nice it was really a beautiful color my hair pulls a lot of red because I've had Auburn and brown hair I'm trying to do a reverse Balayage now thanks for sharing again😊

    @lesliegums5119 3 года назад

    Lol just now getting ready to work with clay bleach/ lightening and am watching your video. Im chuckling over your lament if getting grey at 31. Then not wanting to work out but like food. Well let me tell ya... first I'm a hairstylist by trade and a dancer by avocation. Your a beautiful girl and you'd better not take that for granted. The picture that is with this post im 58yo. You want to not scare yourself or your loved ones years down the line then plan on and get used to the idea that you're going to have to bust your ass to maintain and keep what god gave you to start with. I taught aerobics for 10+ years in Dallas, TX. and spent 10 years in the military and trained for police work. So it doesn't matter what you choose just plan on it being consistent, hard, grueling but completely worth it. Im now 68 and it's getting tougher but I've got the grip strength of the average older male. Being a nurse you should have a pretty good idea of how all this works physiologically. Being in home health you get to see how the alternative pans out. Bed bound and miserable. Don't mean to preach or lecture but i just had to pass on a bit of this old lady wisdom. Good luck to you my dear.🥰

    Meg It is beautiful!!!! Wonderful Video , I think it is so cool that you and others share on RUclips. I've been doing my mine since I was 15 . I could not and would not pay $175.00 and generally turned out :( . The salon process if you are a real blonde and want like 3 lighter blonde coloring shades, I call it minxing. The salons would either get it White :S or Gray White :s :s. I've always used L'Oreal and know just how much time to get the color pale pale yellow I want. No toners needed and besides they just wash out anyway after a couple of washings and the box colors imo I found not as harsh as salon and my hair after conditioning felt so good. Thank you Thank you.

Mine are grown now but lol seeing ur babies definitely took me back. I have 2 boys 16 and 14 and one girl 19.
