I’m so glad I found your videos. I’m 70 & I got so sick of coloring my hair so I decided to let my hair grow natural. The sides were white but the rest & most of my roots were medium brown with little white mixed in. I hated it! So I decided to color my hair a pale platinum through a cap. I was happy with it except for the roots which get more reddish brown every time I wash my hair. I can’t wait to touch up my roots now. You’re the best!
You are amazing! The video I've been looking for for almost 10 years! I'm a brunette who covers gray, and I've been struggling forEVER with that dreaded copper fading, even after salon visits. All I want is dark brown and some nice ash highlights, but now I know why it's just not that simple. I learned SO much from this video- thank you thank you!!!!
Me too. 6NN 20 volume gives me hot roots. But I want my roots 6NN to match the length of my hair. Why is this hot roots happening on gray roots. It looks bad and cheap looking. Help!
HI! I am so happy that you talk about brassy roots today. I am educating myself the whole day on TH-cam, how i colour my mousebraun roots and which mixture of demi coulors i should choose ? I am starting with a 7 VA + 8 P and than over my whole hair a 10 P + 10 V. I am afraid that it will come out to ashy.My Hairundertones are brown -red with grey hair ! You helped me a lot. And it is beautifuly to watch how you changed from a young girl in 2012 to a mature beautiful Mother and Business woman in 2022 ! I am living in Germany close to the danish border. So i follow your TH-cam Channel and your Marriage with Anton since 5 Years ! Congratulations to your Motherhood and eyerything you both have built together in San Francisco! Love Elsa
I've been doing my own hair color for the last 20 years. When I get a cut the stylist always asks me how I did it and as you mentioned the trick is never use the same color twice in a row. I use a medium brown N base and 20 volume developer, and alternate with chestnut, violets and dark blonde tones. Natural hair is not all one colors so your color choices should mimic this as well. I have this beautiful dark brown, maroon with blonde highlights naturally from alternating colors. When I was getting it done professionally, I'm not kidding. The hairdresser always messed it up either by using semi-permanent color or by getting brassy tones. Not something I want to pay for! Needless to say, coloring is not that hard, I learned to do with myself much better results and less cost. And since I get roots every 10 days I have to color often.
Hi. Do you mix you base with another to add tone? I am desperate to know. Stylists in my area just want to give me an overall colour. I could do that at home with box dye 😮
@@DanceswithfishesI always purchase professional color and the developer that goes with it. I prefer igora Royal. You can add a second color and stripe it in kind of like making your own thin highlights/ lowlights. That gives you a lot more dimension. If I was using dark brown like a level 3, I would use a mahogany to add some depth with low lights. It looks really pretty too when the Sun shines on it. Same for blonde tones. You could use medium blonde and add a little bit of chocolate lowlights. That gives more dimension
@@Nah481 Thanks. I've heard good things about Igora Royal. I was using Koleston Perfect, but I find it goes really dark on me, even if using a level 5/0 (mixed with 6/07) in my greys.
I am not a hairdresser. I started doing my own hair 16 years ago. I have a lot of grays. I only touch up my roots. I highlight as needed, every 2nd or 3rd time. I use nn and add a little of ash to my formula, with 20 vol developer. it seems to be working well for me this way. Love your videos.
Hi, i would like to ask, how do you keep up with the grey/white hair starting to show up nearly two weeks later? İ wonder how healthy it would be for the scalp to color every two/3 weeks for years...with as much as 'natural' hairdye of course...
@@sue-8824 at the longest I touch up my roots every 4 weeks. Only if a special event comes up would I do 2. Rarely. In between lately I have found a crayon type touch up pen from Amazon that camouflages the gray in where I need it after my hair is styled. Since I only use 20 volume my hair is in good condition.
@@sue-8824 tHANK YOU LUCKY STARTS you see gray hairs within 2 weeks, as it means NEW hairs are growing. You didn't mention whether you are a blonde or brunette though
@@RightToFreedomGirl I was born blonde and always have been until I turned gray. I use 7nn for roots and every other time I add highlights trying not to over lap.
I use Wella as well. I use 4N11 if I remember it correctly. The scalp has red color after I dye the roots…. Ugh…. So I’m going to add Ash next time to get rid of the ugly red at the scalp. Thx much!
I am feel so excited that I found a right person and a right video after such a long time struggling with these situations Thank you so much for making this kind of videos and helping us God bless you my dear
For instance, if you are going to the same level at the base/roots and want some highlights ,or even lowlights, in the base/roots also what's the best method to achieve this. Do you do all the processes at the same time or can you do the base color first and then go back and add highlights? Thanks so much.
I colour my own hair with salon colour and I use 10 vol with my colour, it covers my greys excellent and more gentle, does exactly the same as 20 volume and my hair is jet black.
Maybe because its black. The lighter we go the more the color looks different where the hair is gray. And it washes off faster because it fades faster. Or it just looks lighter than rest
Please do a video on covering gray roots on heavily highlighted blonde (level 8, 9, 10). Can you just use a toner on the whole head? I'm trying to avoid using a 20 vol color on the roots bc it stains the pretty bright 10 highlights;/
Tyvm! Been struggling w/ gray.. haven’t colored my hair since before Covid.. So about 3 1/2 inches regrowth! Think I’ve noticed 3 separate 1/4inch streaks of gray ( Carella DeVil style ) 🤦♀️👀😳😔 :// So like you, I’m also a natural 6. probably 6a. I just wana / need to feel pretty & refreshed again while broke
Thank you for such a helpful video! I made a note of all your points and was able to really give my hairdresser a clear explanation of what I hoped to achieve and I LOVE the outcome! Thankful that you choose to share your knowledge and skills! X
Possibly THE BEST video I've ever seen on the science of tinting grey hair. I was naturally a cool ash 4 before going grey, and have struggled to stop my roots going too warm. I use Igora Royale tint, so now off to buy the right tones to get rid of my warm roots.
I know Slyvia will not see this to get an answer. I was hoping to find someone who does their own like I do that has recently commented. One thing I did not quite understand about her process of using the AG. Does she only cover the new gray, or does she also cover over the precious roots the time before? If not, I can't see where that solves the problem of the previous color from turning brassy after 4 weeks of washing. I wash my hair every other day. any input would be helpful. Thank you.
The challenge with gray/white hair for many of us is the percentage we have. For a nice 10 years , like you, when i lightened my hair, the gray toned a nice natural looking color. Now that I have 60% white hair (with 100% around my hairline and 1" in at my temples underneath), the virgin hair regrowth that still has color is a level 6/7. Now when I lighten the regrowth to level 8/9 it pulls orange on the level 6/7 hair but the white hair pulls too cool. The challenge is how to reduce the orange yet warm up the white!
Yessssss 😭 Do I go platinum to match the hairline or keep trying to force the hairline to hold the nape color? All while somewhat maintaining the integrity of the hair. I will definitely try alternating the AG with NN at the crown :) Great videos 👌
My friend is naturally a medium fairly neutral brown, but is grey now so always colours her hair. She's gone progressively lighter over the years, as she says lighter hair is easier to blend / hide the roots when they grow back every 2-3 weeks. The grey is still very obvious when it comes back though! Should she just go a bit darker? Her roots are too warm too. Like a honey beige. And the all over blonde washes her skin tone out. She's a natural level 4-5 and her colour now is a level 8. Thank you!
Can you do a video on how to transition from salon color (incompetent stylist problems!!) to doing color at home yourself. I'm so fed up with very expensive stylists $$$ and very poor results 🤕!!
Thanks for that. I am spending a lot of money going to hairdressers every month to try to remove the red tones in my hair, and NO ONE can do it…. I will try this. If I knew it would be so complicated I would just continue going blonde :( I am very sad with my hair
100 likes I get highlights every ~8 months, pretty much at the point my roots are grown out a few inches. I often felt like I was getting too much lift, but realize the colorist is attempting to help with coverage. So, mentioning I am looking for something blended cool and neutral is definitely the way I want to go.
I have always loved to play with different colors. But now I am getting a lot more grey in the roots. I love what you have going on with your hair. That is how I would love to have my hair done. But my hair is naturally black. How can I do this effectively?
I'm still confused. So you go in with an NN to cover Gray roots. In how many weeks do you put on the AG color? And then doesn't that get kind of stripey looking? NN-AG-NN-AG-NN-AG-NN-AG, etc. Or do you put the AG on right after you put on the NN?
You're supposed to do it all at once but honestly I swear I wish I don't know I don't know if this is a brand new it's it's bizarre because honestly you could blend
@@Ellebangsseriously, I index your vids to follow & do exactly as you instruct (7n/7ag every time!) and LOVE the results. You’ve given many of us confidence to quit going to salons!! lol
Thank you 🙏 amazing detailed information that many of us needed. Love the Tee . I’ll definitely apply this , next time . luv your concept about rotating the color on the gray’s.
I actually stopped dying my hair since the pandemic, and my grays are in full display. Is there any way to strip the dye color that is at the tips at home?
I have a question: at the end you said you used 10 Volume with the AG colors, but I thought you said you used 20 Volumeto cover grays with the NNs. Did I miss something ?
My question is: how do you manage to tone down the brasiness with all those highlights? I always wanted a color that's around 7 at the base and highlights, but I always have the problem of initially having a pretty cool toned base and after 3 weeks it gets so brassy, and if I had the highlights how can I tone down the brassy brown without overtoning the highlights? Story of my life, that's why I've been an allover blonde for so long, I'm naturally a level 6
Is it 6NN with 20 volume, then in between the weeks you also use 7AG with 10 volume? I don't understand? My gray roots always turn brighter, like hot roots with 6NN 20 volume and it doesn't look good compared to my darker brunette length which is the overall color I want at my roots also? Why does this hot roots always happen with 6NN 20 volume? I don't want hot roots. I want a nice color on my roots everytime I apply color to my roots. Help!
My problem is the dark roots combined with fast growing hair I have visible grey in 5 days - and my hair dresser never wants to highlight to get more of a blended look because it damages my ends.
I was really hoping you'd show us how you color hair to cover roots and at the same time, avoiding hot roots. Didn't learn anything...a brunette that has hot roots, orange/ reddish/red, SO EASILY, and that's with al even a double ash. So i have to color it as best as i can and then i add blue semi permanent on it to tone; like, Manic panic, Punky Colors, etc etc.. I've bleached my hair with 40vol twice in a night before. I get serious about my hair!
Using this method don’t you get patches of different color? I’m still a bit confused how you can use 2 different shades each time you do your root touch up. Do you only apply the color at the new roots? Are you using permanent hair color or Demi permanent?
I just bought the 7n to cover my grays. My hair is similar to yours. so what I get from this video is cover with N and go back with an AG to calm the red warm tones right ???
Thank you for making these videos! ♥️♥️ You’re so amazing for sharing your information and you explain it so well and now I understand what I have been doing wrong. Thank you Thank you!
I want to grow out my natural hair color, which is mostly white. It is so hard, if I use demi permanent hair color it doesn't last long enough. If I use permanent hair color it stains my hair and won't release the orange tones when I use a color corrector. HELP! I'm currently sitting here with white roots and pale orange ends trying to decide if I keep going with bleach or just go back to dying my hair, which I really do not want to do. 😢😢
Do you tone on a seperate dat AFTER doing your roots to catch any potential bleed to your blonde ? I just commented on a recent video you posted where you "tone up" your blonde with the T18 and T27. Then came here to what you were doing for Grey's. I recently have tried doing some things at home bc my grey is just getting absurd. Looks great with all blonde but im trying to save $ this year by embracing my natural and the blonde I have left as my hair grows out. When I did my roots I tried to keep it cold water wash but I'm sure it made the highlights I have dingy ... which is why I was watching your other video mentioned. If only it still felt fun and not a chore!
This is excellent, thank you! The main problem I'm having is what do I use to tone both the brown and reddish, and the blonde highlights, it's super frustrating and if I can avoid so much red maybe I can just purple tone instead, hooray 😊.
Basic question from a non-stylist. Is 20 volume safe to use on your scalp every month? I'm currently getting a way with demi color but I know that will change eventually.
I love your videos. I appreciate you explaining the science behind coloring your hair. Can you tell me why it is so hard to find Redken Color Fusion products. I can't seem to find this "Ash Green" in any other brand.
Good evening, I have tried several Salons , the color will not cover my gray it gone In a couple of day's. I am looking for a solution to this problem. Thank you! Blessings to you!!
Can I mix 6nn and 7ag , or I should color my hair with 6nn, and then after a few days, I should use 7ag ? Please let me know what's the best way to avoid redness without damaging the hair.
How does the AG work if your regrowth is pure white , this means there won’t be any NN left for it to attach to. ? I’m a level 9N and my hairdresser hates my hair 😢 (me too) but I’m 100% white . Should I be always using cool cover (if I can learn at home ) I can’t bear to keep going to hairdresser and feeling horrible ??
Hi! I love your hair color. Thanks for your video! I’m also a 6a base and have some greys. I do the same process as you. But I want more highlights at the ends. How did you achieve the blonde highlights at the ends?
I am confused, I have some grey in the front, brunette in the back and now after I showed her that I was aiming at the blonde that I had done with my previous hair stylist... I walked away with orange tones. Is this going to mellow out? Or what? Dont see any blonde. I almost wish that I had the whole thing done brunette. Way better than orangey.
you actually listened - 1st comment I've seen that doesn't think she said to mix the two. Came here to the comments hoping for the same question to be answered
@@shanda5109 thanks! I try haha. I've been waiting 4mos for an answer, so don't get your hopes up too high lol. I do my own weird thing anymore, and it works for my brass. I hate toner--makes my hair feel great but even doing all the right things, it lasts 2 weeks and then starts fading a lot. So I try to get my tone correct with my permanent (chromatics) dye. I mix 5Ab equally with 4Ag and add a Tablespoon of 7N. I'm naturally in the 5 ash range with 50% white hairs, and I aim to match the grey to my natural color.
Hey- does anyone know how to cover roots if you have bleached blonde hair (very light blonde)? I want a neutral brown/dark blonde root smudge instead of having an all-over blonde. Can I use a permanent color?
I still don’t understand why if I am a natural 6.5 ash blonde with some grey that I can’t just use a 6A or 7A. Whenever I try putting N or NB into the formula, that turns out more red. Why not just choose ash to cover grey?
@@cookiestar2702 Thank you. Since I made that comment, I tried Wella illuminate 7/81 and it’s a perfect match for my natural color! neutral and doesn’t pull warm.
Im also a level six. Im confused about you choosing six for your roots in this video but level seven in a more recent video. Is this because of using different brands?
I know it’s not exactly the topic off the video but maybe you can help me with my problem, I’ve dyed my hair a few times to level 7 with 20 volume and it started to get brassy,would dying it over again with 10 volume help?
I’m so glad I found your videos. I’m 70 & I got so sick of coloring my hair so I decided to let my hair grow natural.

Do you have a video on Gray blending?
I definitely need this
Would love to see a video on this
that would be a good one!
Yes, please. Specifically, how to gray blend without a noticeable demarcation line.
For instance, if you are going to the same level at the base/roots and want some highlights ,or even lowlights, in the base/roots also what's the best method to achieve this. Do you do all the processes at the same time or can you do the base color first and then go back and add highlights? Thanks so much.

Same
But are you doing permanent or demi-permanent color?
Same. I use a Demi w a 10 and appreciate that it’s gentle
Exactly. They really have no idea, just blah blah blah.
Maybe because its black. The lighter we go the more the color looks different where the hair is gray. And it washes off faster because it fades faster. Or it just looks lighter than rest
Please do a video on covering gray roots on heavily highlighted blonde (level 8, 9, 10). Can you just use a toner on the whole head? I'm trying to avoid using a 20 vol color on the roots bc it stains the pretty bright 10 highlights;/

1/2 6AG
Yessssss 😭 Do I go platinum to match the hairline or keep trying to force the hairline to hold the nape color? All while somewhat maintaining the integrity of the hair. I will definitely try alternating the AG with NN at the crown :) Great videos 👌
Who else is off to watch EVERY other video this woman has done?! ❤
Me!
My friend is naturally a medium fairly neutral brown, but is grey now so always colours her hair. She's gone progressively lighter over the years, as she says lighter hair is easier to blend / hide the roots when they grow back every 2-3 weeks.
The grey is still very obvious when it comes back though! Should she just go a bit darker? Her roots are too warm too. Like a honey beige. And the all over blonde washes her skin tone out. She's a natural level 4-5 and her colour now is a level 8.

I have a question: at the end you said you used 10 Volume with the AG colors, but I thought you said you used 20 Volumeto cover grays with the NNs. Did I miss something ?
10 volume is fabulous if you don’t wash your hair every day it’s works well with NO DAMAGE
My question is: how do you manage to tone down the brasiness with all those highlights? I always wanted a color that's around 7 at the base and highlights, but I always have the problem of initially having a pretty cool toned base and after 3 weeks it gets so brassy, and if I had the highlights how can I tone down the brassy brown without overtoning the highlights? Story of my life, that's why I've been an allover blonde for so long, I'm naturally a level 6
No answer 😢
I wish she would answer too
I don't understand why you wouldn't add a percentage of NN or NA to your formula (say 25% NN to 77% AG), or incorporate an ABN
Becuz she's an airhead
20 developer would not cover my grays. I had to use 30 developer. I use medium ash brown. My hair is naturally darkest brown/black.
Is it 6NN with 20 volume, then in between the weeks you also use 7AG with 10 volume? I don't understand? My gray roots always turn brighter, like hot roots with 6NN 20 volume and it doesn't look good compared to my darker brunette length which is the overall color I want at my roots also? Why does this hot roots always happen with 6NN 20 volume? I don't want hot roots. I want a nice color on my roots everytime I apply color to my roots. Help!
My problem is the dark roots combined with fast growing hair I have visible grey in 5 days - and my hair dresser never wants to highlight to get more of a blended look because it damages my ends.
Thank you for the upload. I've been mixing these two together.
Thank You so much, I have only put rinses in my hair, this took some of my fear away of not being able to communicate what I want❤
I was really hoping you'd show us how you color hair to cover roots and at the same time, avoiding hot roots. Didn't learn anything...a brunette that has hot roots, orange/ reddish/red, SO EASILY, and that's with al even a double ash. So i have to color it as best as i can and then i add blue semi permanent on it to tone; like, Manic panic, Punky Colors, etc etc.. I've bleached my hair with 40vol twice in a night before. I get serious about my hair!
I would never use a 20 volume to deposit colour 😬 my hair personally would melt off.
How many minutes does the 7ag sit on the hair before you wash it out?
Using this method don’t you get patches of different color? I’m still a bit confused how you can use 2 different shades each time you do your root touch up. Do you only apply the color at the new roots? Are you using permanent hair color or Demi permanent?
I just bought the 7n to cover my grays. My hair is similar to yours. so what I get from this video is cover with N and go back with an AG to calm the red warm tones right ???
Thank you for making these videos! ♥️♥️ You’re so amazing for sharing your information and you explain it so well and now I understand what I have been doing wrong. Thank you Thank you!
I want to grow out my natural hair color, which is mostly white. It is so hard, if I use demi permanent hair color it doesn't last long enough. If I use permanent hair color it stains my hair and won't release the orange tones when I use a color corrector. HELP! I'm currently sitting here with white roots and pale orange ends trying to decide if I keep going with bleach or just go back to dying my hair, which I really do not want to do. 😢😢
Hello dear! I’ve struggled with this for so long and want to give the AG tones a try - where can I purchase these without a license?
So am I understanding the 20V is best for stronger grey coverage? The 10V helps with the AG in between 'color neutralizing' session? Thanks!
Do you tone on a seperate dat AFTER doing your roots to catch any potential bleed to your blonde ? I just commented on a recent video you posted where you "tone up" your blonde with the T18 and T27. Then came here to what you were doing for Grey's.
I recently have tried doing some things at home bc my grey is just getting absurd. Looks great with all blonde but im trying to save $ this year by embracing my natural and the blonde I have left as my hair grows out. When I did my roots I tried to keep it cold water wash but I'm sure it made the highlights I have dingy ... which is why I was watching your other video mentioned.
If only it still felt fun and not a chore!
This is excellent, thank you! The main problem I'm having is what do I use to tone both the brown and reddish, and the blonde highlights, it's super frustrating and if I can avoid so much red maybe I can just purple tone instead, hooray 😊.
Love your explanation. I want the perfect root colouration (cover grey) with red/copper hair. How can I do that at home?
Salt pepper( black white), over 50+ , is that 20+ 4NN? Or is it possible to go lighter no brass whit 5NN?
Basic question from a non-stylist. Is 20 volume safe to use on your scalp every month? I'm currently getting a way with demi color but I know that will change eventually.
Yes, 20 volume is safe for on scalp use!
@@Ellebangs Thank you! 🙂
I love your videos. I appreciate you explaining the science behind coloring your hair. Can you tell me why it is so hard to find Redken Color Fusion products. I can't seem to find this "Ash Green" in any other brand.
eBay is where I go.
U saved my hair! Love you and your videos! From a graying 30 year old 😉
Good evening, I have tried several Salons , the color will not cover my gray it gone In a couple of day's. I am looking for a solution to this problem. Thank you! Blessings to you!!
What if you use a demi permanent, like Color Touch, and there are no Neutrals?
Can I mix 6nn and 7ag , or I should color my hair with 6nn, and then after a few days, I should use 7ag ? Please let me know what's the best way to avoid redness without damaging the hair.
OMG! You’re my lifesaver
This technique creates a bronde color, basically a shade darker to cool the warmth.
Ohhh my goodness this was just WONDERFUL…thank you for this !!🙏🏽
I can't wait to try this! Thank you so much 💖
How does the AG work if your regrowth is pure white , this means there won’t be any NN left for it to attach to. ?
I’m a level 9N and my hairdresser hates my hair 😢 (me too) but I’m 100% white . Should I be always using cool cover (if I can learn at home ) I can’t bear to keep going to hairdresser and feeling horrible ??
Hi! I love your hair color. Thanks for your video! I’m also a 6a base and have some greys. I do the same process as you. But I want more highlights at the ends. How did you achieve the blonde highlights at the ends?
Thank you! You’re the reason I have great hair that I do myself. 😚
Thisis amazing. I love meeting my subscribers who have beautiful hair with my help! You all are my inspiration for new videos!
This was really great!! VERY INFORMATIVE
I am confused, I have some grey in the front, brunette in the back and now after I showed her that I was aiming at the blonde that I had done with my previous hair stylist... I walked away with orange tones. Is this going to mellow out? Or what? Dont see any blonde. I almost wish that I had the whole thing done brunette. Way better than orangey.
How about if your roots are salt & pepper from my, smoke grey hi-lights how would my roots be covered without brass red out-comes
Is is best to dye grey roots on ultra clean hair or “dirty” hair? Which will last longer?
I'm confused when you mention one time you use 6nn and the next time you use ag... Doesn't that cause color banding? I'm not understanding something.
you actually listened - 1st comment I've seen that doesn't think she said to mix the two. Came here to the comments hoping for the same question to be answered
@@shanda5109 thanks! I try haha. I've been waiting 4mos for an answer, so don't get your hopes up too high lol. I do my own weird thing anymore, and it works for my brass. I hate toner--makes my hair feel great but even doing all the right things, it lasts 2 weeks and then starts fading a lot. So I try to get my tone correct with my permanent (chromatics) dye. I mix 5Ab equally with 4Ag and add a Tablespoon of 7N. I'm naturally in the 5 ash range with 50% white hairs, and I aim to match the grey to my natural color.
What is the name of the hair color you used, in the shade 7NN.
Hey- does anyone know how to cover roots if you have bleached blonde hair (very light blonde)? I want a neutral brown/dark blonde root smudge instead of having an all-over blonde. Can I use a permanent color?
Yup! I do the same thing!
I still don’t understand why if I am a natural 6.5 ash blonde with some grey that I can’t just use a 6A or 7A. Whenever I try putting N or NB into the formula, that turns out more red. Why not just choose ash to cover grey?
Try using a level five.
@@cookiestar2702 Thank you. Since I made that comment, I tried Wella illuminate 7/81 and it’s a perfect match for my natural color! neutral and doesn’t pull warm.
@@rachael6829 Wella Illuminate.
Im also a level six. Im confused about you choosing six for your roots in this video but level seven in a more recent video. Is this because of using different brands?
Can you use 1/2 6NN and 1/2 6AG together?
I mix mine and get great results. It turns out like golden hi lights and I get the grey coverage.
Is it better too apply 20 developer by itself for 15 min can you explain it thank you
Thanks! Which colors/brand did you use?
I think she uses redken
Very good info. Thank you. Generally how long to leave on the roots with 20vol?
I know it’s not exactly the topic off the video but maybe you can help me with my problem, I’ve dyed my hair a few times to level 7 with 20 volume and it started to get brassy,would dying it over again with 10 volume help?
is there a good over the counter clean (vegan, cruelty free, sans toxins) brand that has demi permanant that you can reccommend?
This was super helpful, thank you!
My hair is naturally level 5
Can I mix level 5 hair dye with 5.1 and a 20% developer to get a cool brown undertone and cover my grey hairs ?
It depends how much grey, if any you have.
@@cookiestar2702 I have a lot in the front hairs
This is very helpful and thank you so much!! 🙏
Amazingly informative! Thank you!!!
