I had 3-4" of ugly warm banding from level 8 tint touch-ups on my naturally ashy level 6 hair. During quarantine, I followed your previous baby lights and toning tutorials (which is what you are explaining in this new video.) It completely fixed my problem! I only wished I had discovered it sooner because I hated that warm outgrowth. I'm sorry to see what has happened to your industry this year. You are a very good teacher and I appreciate your efforts to show us DIY.
Because most of us are doing more diy hair stuff I wanted to mention that there is this trend of using baking soda with peroxide as a "no damage" lightening solution. So, I tried that a few months back and while it Did lighten the hair it was very harsh and it was very damaging. I ended up having to cut about 2 inches off my length and then dusted to get rid of all my fried ends. Not to mention that I had to shampoo my hair and rinse multiple times to get the grit out of my scalp and hair. It was just a nightmare lol stick with bleach imo! Thanks for the video, I trust your advice and you look stunning as always! 💗
My Gosh! You are the Blonde Hair Wiz! Y'all, I've followed her job for over 3 years. Silvia is not only an expert but a professional who is not afraid to share her knowledge FOR FREE!!! If she's not an angel, at least is a pretty good person. Sorry for being cheesy... maybe it's this quarantine, but I have to add --> Watching her videos is almost going to counseling. You get therapy for depression, anxiety, and cry spells! Thank you, Silvia :)
Lady you are a LIFE saver!!! Luckily I didn't have to lift my hair but a little 6n knocked my orange out enough to be tolerable or even better. I had a root tap that went all wrong and was losing my mind. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge!!!!!!
Im going to try. The salon made my money piece roots muppet orange. Thank God thats all she touched on my head. Im really stressed out since its at the front of my face.
@@tbunnyshy1 same boat!! Apparently it's my hair bc this is the 2nd stylist to do the same thing. I've done so much better going at it at home with a cap🤬
I'm so glad you did this video. Thank you so much. This is actually a really big problem for alot of people. I have been to the salon so many times and they still can't fix it. It's crazy because I have been told so many times to "bring inspo pic" and even when I do I still get some weird variation of red blonde with golden blonde highlights here and there. It's just annoying!!
You & I must be going to the same lame hairdressers!! I've been to high-end salons down to Aveda beauty school with instructors overseeing the foils. The only time I actually had a successful foil (had bands that she fixed the next day) was after the second foil... BUT she bleached 45 minutes on top of highlights she's done the day b4 & all my 'money pieces' broke off over the next month. But I looked 'freakin awesome' for the next month... & then just 'awesome' into I had 8 months worth of roots. I was too scared to have it messed up again. But another hairdresser did! Level 8 ASH is my enemy! Makes my hair color look like dirty saw dust color.
@@angelas.9717 I recently went to a salon who did an amazing job. In fact they don't even use purple shampoos because they lift hair so amazingly. I was blown away. In fact they recommend against using purple shampoos and just concentrate on getting the lift right. Then follow with the correct toner or toners then maybe gloss. I bring up the purple shampoos because all of us blondes are told to use it like it's the saving grace and it's not. It always leaves my hair looking metallic magenta or gray. I had a great experience and have been getting compliments non stop!
I have a question!! If you are going lighter on the root with hair color and not bleach , if u been going alittle lighter per session there’s going to be a band from say your natural “level 4” how does adding a lighter shade each time fix the “ warm tone “ from the root if ur only touching up ur roots and not the bands from going lighter ? New stylist here!!!
I am totally comfortable doing this and have been retouching my own highlights since March, but what I haven’t found is a Demi gloss that even comes close to shades EQ for toner. What toning product available to the public do you recommend? The wella toners (that are really permanent color) blow my level 4-5 base up and turn it orange even when I use 10 volume.
You’re my favorite! Been watching you for a while now. You always give off such a positive vibe. Seem to be very beautiful & genuine person. I think this video will help me a lot! I’ve always been blonde, lifting the hair prior to coloring it seemed unnecessary. You explained it so now I understand what was happening to my color at the roots. I was always using ash/blue/violet colors so it’s so frustrating to end up brassy after a hand full of washes! Thank you! 😊
I just went to Ulta and paid $190 to get my brown grown out roots highlighted and this is exactly what happened. My hair is more orange than blonde. I don’t like it but I don’t like being a complainer either. It’s been two weeks and it appears to be getting more orange over the last two weeks. I just wanted my bit of gray and my dark roots lifted to blonde like the bottom bc it had grown out a lot with the covid lockdown. I guess I should call and see if the guy will make it right. First time this has ever happened. Not sure why this happened? 😢
Haha agree. As a stylist since I was eh 16 years old and mother and two aunts as stylist as well, simple answer is usually right, use a cap!! I’m sorry to burst any young hair stylist bubbles but hear me when I tell you sometimes the old ways still work the best !!!!! You can feel the holes with your fingers and as long as you have fbr cap nice and tight it’s all good !! I just used one did it myself and everyone at work swears I went to see my stylist !! Lol. Oh and I still use old fashioned sponge curlers !!!! Beats a curling iron any day and they last longer !!! Strips of old t shirts for rag curls !! Amen :). Happy hair do’s y’all!!
HELP! I went from virgin dark brown hair to a heavy amount of bright blonde highlights a few weeks ago. I loved it. However I had to get it retoned because the underneath was several shades lighter than the top. After she retoned it and dried it, the blonde now looks like a brassy dark blonde or brown. I hate it. WHAT DO I DO to get it back without resending my hair???!!! My wedding is next week 😢
Years after watching your channel and then getting cought in having kids and basically no time for youtube, I find myself at the moment having to do my hair again on my own, and where do I go? Yep, Ellebangs. I don’t trust any other hairstylist on youtube with advice especially not for anything blonde hair. So I just wanted to leave a thanx for helping not just me but surely many other women all over the world not to walk around with sad looking brassy hair:) Because let’s be honest when the hair and skin are good, even the bag and the shoe doesn’t really matter that much. Thumbs up for the ever gorgeous, smart and very real Ellebangs!x
Thank you so much for these videos. I know my hairdresser is so very good, and just a real sweetheart. We have been struggling with my roots pretty much 3+ years though. I am almost 50 and a natural mousey brown, I always pull red. She has gotten me super light blonde, but I have a lot of damage now, even with olaplex. I’d say mid to ends. She does not over lap, but I went once to a closer salon and the baby highlights the lady did all over obviously overlapped even though she promised she wouldn’t. Anyhow, I stopped the highlights with my girl and have just been getting root touch ups to cover my grey. Religiously every 5/6 weeks.I can’t understand why we/she can’t get them to be a chocolatety brown.? Seems like sometimes they are and other times they are so orangey. It kills me to leave feeling so orange and all the time and cost ☹️ She has been having a hard time with COVID/young children etc so I have purchased product pre measured from her once. It turned out lovely when I did it🤷♀️ my last visit I had to go to a coworker and it looked great when I left, but after one wash bam orangy again. I’ve been using purple shampoo once a week to try and hide. I feel you can help with a formula that will work for me, after watching this particular video I see your hair looks just like mine did before I starting going grey. How can I get a consultation please?
MegaTinni is exactly you need a blue shampoo for brassy hair more for brunettes and purple is for light blondes . I wouldn’t use them too often maybe once a week because it can dry the hair . Use a good color safe shampoo and conditioner don’t wash hair everyday ... try 2- 3 days . Update all hot tools . Use heat protectant every time you put heAt in your hair I highly recommend “it’s a 10” leave in spray and the deep conditioning treatment so worth the money and will help you hair . Get a shower filter if you have hard water it will wash out your color and the minerals can give that brassy look . I’m a hair dresser and I work where there’s a a lot of hard water and anyone with it I always notice their hair always brassy and super dry . If you do you need to do a hard water treatment I recommend the brand “malibu “ find a stylist who has that type of treatment first and then do your color . What level are you ? I always used redken cover up for grey coverage and I find them being pretty neutral it covers really well and their ash tones are pretty cool toned . I usually mix an NN and a NGB to my mix cause sometimes you need the gold because the NN can look a little dull. But it def helps with the coverage and keeping the warm tones under control your stylist was probably using a color with too much warmth in it . she needs to neutralize it using an ash tone like blue which neutralize the orange and give you a neutral color. Also maybe she’s using to high of a developer and lifting too much of your natural hair color which exposes even more warm tones I would use 20 vol .
Because in order to completely cover gray you have to use a permanent color, (There are exceptions) which opens the cuticle more with either ammonia or another lifting derrivative, and exposes natural warmth. ALL hunan hair pulls warm. When we go gray the Pigment leaves the hair, so the natural has to be put back in to cover. The more natural you need in the formulation, the less ash (cool) you can add in. It depends on your percentage of gray in the hair. (25%? 50-100%?) Once you go permanent it's a different game and you fight the brassy banding that comes with it. There's more to it, but just know it has to do with the permanent formulation and the % of gray in your hair. It's not your stylist's fault that the roots go brassy. The toning shampoos can help but they can also over tone your brightness on the mids and ends. J switched to Chromatics for my own permanent because tbeir mix ins really cooled it down. I could put in a 9N and add some violet to counter the warmth. If you're darker, sone blue can be added to to combat the orange. I also use Guy Tang's Ni series because it's a cool, ashy permanent right out of the tube. I can also add his shadow ash to the mix and it's gorgeous.
I have watched your videos for YEARS and I FINALLY know what your talking about with everything. Took me doing a foilayage on my hair, now having dark level 4/5, natural roots , watching the reverse bayalage, and this and another video together to GET IT I still see orange in your back mid lengths and I'm thinking that's just somthing to deal with I'm guessing now I'm gonna try to lift my base to a 6A *( with a 6g and 6n ) 1st then root tap with 6A after highlights every 3rd time I do my hair . O I need some product !! Lol I'm gonn as have to get from Sally RN. Cheaper for me , but I will eventually know' the right color and tones to stock up on after some strand test 1st the ofcorse after a few mths of trial : ) your amazing! You do explain things differently but now that I get it, I GET IT ! : ) your beautiful..
Plz explain how to not get a yellow band when bleaching long roots, ive asked a lot of hair dressers on TH-cam and Nadia but your the person who inspired me to go platinum and I’ve gone a bit to long in between bleaching but I don’t wanna have platinum roots and platinum tips and a yellow band in between if you know what I mean.. love ya sylvia
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I can't say it enough! I finally managed to get rid of those meh orange-ish outgrown roots! And having quite the same hair colour as you made the decisions even easier! I used the same toners 😄 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Yes! You can use Sally’s generic gloss it is the off brand version of the Redken toner they use at salons! Use it for root tap, to tone etc! It’s pretty good!
I cannot thank you enough!! I know these videos are not at all as easy to film, edit & post, as some people may think. I love the way your hair is colored!! I WAS trying to achieve similar results & I ended up with warm kinda orangey (not a word I know,lol) roots & ash ends!!YIKES!!😵 Of course I have somewhere to be tomorrow morning.. thank goodness for baseball caps,🤣🤣🤣!! On my way home, I will most definitely be stopping to purchase more products!! I've watched a few more of your videos and took notes. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!💞💯💞
I went to get my hair done two days ago and my hair stylist over-toned my hair and my roots are now orange! Will this method help me since my roots are orange because of the toner rather than turning orange over time?
But how do you lift the roots without touching the rest of your hair for an even deposit that will lighten the roots by a little and darken the rest by two more shades?
Do it as close as possible and the bleach will swell a bit. It will get a bit on the other but when it’s all down and together you won’t notice the small change. So long as you seeing doing one stright line and a huge glob your going to be fine.
Yep, especially for us level 6-7ish blondes! It’s so hard to get gray coverage at that level that isn’t guaranteed to fade to an unflattering hue falling somewhere along the spectrum of the Lori-Vallow-Prison-Garb-Orange family of colors! Speaking of her, fun fact for y’all: Child-Murdering Cult Mom Lori is actually a hairstylist herself, originally from San Bernardino! Which is Reason #456 I find her 2000’s-era mahogany-underneath-blonde so curious!) 😂 In all seriousness though, I’m wondering if using a Demi-Permanent line known for at least a moderate amount of gray coverage (perhaps L’Oréal DIA Richesse or Redken SEQ cream?) is a better solution for tiding over those of us with less than 50% grays, who can no longer get away with just a head full of foils...thoughts??? I just feel like permanent color on my type of hair is always going to fade to an unflattering color, to the point that we need to figure out a way to address that warmth strategically, rather than always having to do corrective work once those between-the-foils sections inevitably fade to yuck. Wouldn’t refreshing the base with a Demi every 4-6 weeks ultimately be easier on the hair than using permanent and then having to correct the tone every time anyhow? Would love to hear any insight you might have Sylvia, since I know you specialize in blondes! 💛
I call most 7-8’s the no color zone, for it lacks depth and light! I either mix 1/4 of a #6 and the rest 3/4 #7 20 vol. same is true with your reds, don’t ever put straight red color with 20 vol on the roots aka the heat zone . mix 1/4 red to 3/4 brown or blonde. That way you don’t end up with “Hot Roots”. Or you could use 10 vol with your 7’s and/or use Shades EQ Demi put cap over it and under the dryer for 20 then take cap off and let it sit for 20 more mins for gray coverage. It’s ok if the roots Are a bit darker, especially now!
What about going from almost solid blonde to wanting a bunch of low lights? Is there a way to get a really ashy brown color in a level 6-7 to stay and not fade to gold so quickly?
I've watched so many and I just don't undastnd but your actually getting through to me your speaking my language hun I bleached a money piece on to my dyed balayage and I bleached a bit of the roots but I feel confident to have another go x
Hi there. I have a question. How would you remove roots melts? My client changed her mind and realized that she doesn't like darker roots after we did it. So I'm just wondering if there is any easy way to remove it like color remove it? Will it be too steong or do u have to put foils on roots again. This is a very fresh color . Thanks Please help me
I just recently went to a newer salon. I have white hairs and bleaching it wasn't helping my whites. So the new stylist went in where my whites were with a level 3 and highlights. Finally did cover my Grey's but left it light enough without making me to pale
This is exactly my hair problem, however I didn’t use colour. Lightener highlights, then 6n shades eq toots and 10n ends. I think I just took my lightener off SLIGHTLY too soon and finding it hard to cover this warm root
So what colour would we at home use for a root tap ? In the wella shades as you showed on other video , thanks btw saving us the shame of DIY mistakes 😃
First of all you are GORGEOUS! and second thank you so much! All your videos are literally life saving info! I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the world where other haordressers dont...You are a badass💙
I have strawberry blonde hair which I went more auburn with darker warm brunette lowlights and blonde highlights. Not only did the highlights not stay contrasting for long, but how do I deal with roots that are naturally "brassy" or blend lighter hair into the darker hair? So many videos show darker roots coming in
Hello, I would like to know what toner to use to tone my medium and long since I have yellow and light orange highlights, help me choose the correct one, please thank you
I recently (2 days ago) wanted my hair highlighted. I wanted it blonde, i was being realistic and said as much as my hair lightens highlights. I wanted my natural hair to peep threw my highlights (chunky, non patchy highlights)im a 3n naturally..i had a golden brown dye over all my hair. Lady said no black! She was going to leave my hair as is and just add full hair chunky and small lights. Turns out my highlights are almost green, and she put bleach on all my roots so its orange, snd i have dark patches on roots also, where she missed! Im so pissed! I paid her 300 snd left tip! What can i do? Can someone help me on what to do? I need to get out my home and now im looking a mess! 😪also, i approched her during the appointment after she washed my hair out and she said i was tripping in her own way. But until today i saw the dark roots missed. 😶🥺
Can I use this method of a bad coloring job that made my hair super ugly yellow with strawberry blondish yellowish roots also a result of my bad hair dye color? Its really dull looking yellow with warm reddish tones tones roots yet my ends are very light! I have about 5 inches of super ugly dull VERY YELLOW hair growth w funky roots and super light ends. I wont go to a salon due to Covid. Where I live is really bad & i have beginning stages of copd so im terrified of going to a salon.
I bleached my hair and toned it and some parts of my hair was a nice blonde and the other part was orange What should I do to get the brassy orange color out ?
Any suggestions for me? I am a natural level 7 with about 50% gray. I go darker to cover my gray, level 6 or 5 and ALWAYS have orange/red hair when the sun hits it even though I use neutral or ash color.
I would use 10 vol instead of 20 vol developer. The lift delends on the volume, higher more lift and lower less. And if you want to diminish the warmth try 7AA OR 7NA PERMANENT COLOR
Hi Sylvia, you make amazing videos. Thank you so much for sharing your amazzzing info. What about gray hair? It is different than a natural or coloured hair colour. There are different levels of gray on a head. They are rarely ever all the same. The colour lighter on top and darker in the back of the head. The top can be dyed with a colour to a level 8 -9. So you are blonde. But the back - underneath can only be dyed to a level 7 RUST tone. Eek!! 🤯 Would luv to know how lighten the back without bleach? Do not wish to use bleach. Perhaps with an accelerator that is not bleach? Scruples has one. How about a High lift blonde with 30 or 40 volume? Or, what about dying the whole head with a level 7 and 8 - 1/2 and 1/2 with an ASH Blonde? Could this result in a medium ash blonde all over evenly and cancelling out all red tones? Will toner and purple shampoo work properly on dyed hair? Would luv to have the answers to these questions. You are definetly one of the BEST with hair. 😊
But what you are doing is a DOUBLE PROCESS (Bleach on top of Color) which is extremely harsh especially for fine denier hair which will only lead to breakage. If you want platinum blonde and your base is dark color won’t work. What’s worse darker blonde or damaged, fried platinum blonde hair that is so fragile and broken that you have to wear extensions (which btw, also cause more damage)?
Hi Elle, thank you for the video. SoI am brunette who wants to achieve a Level 7A without the Red/Orange. What Toner would you suggest? (I do use Wella products)
I've had issues with orange roots my whole life. The rest can be ok, but the roots have that orange hue under the color on my scalp and it's horrible. I've yet to find anyone that can help me really find a solution I can use. I use Wella 50 toner on it and haven't in awhile, cause the rest of my hair is ok, but a bit dark. But the new growth, ugh! It never matches the rest of my hair!! So last night I used 30 volume, cause it seems to me that 20 is not lifting it enough and only getting to orange. Well, I have the color, though it went darker than I wanted and that was a 5! Gonna try the wells T50 asap. I guess use 20 volume? I'm scared to use 30 again on my hair. I used to bleach it with 40 and powder when I did it blue, purple several years ago. Then I left it alone to grow back, for the most part, and put stuff like Artic Fox, etc. But I'm tired of my only option is going black. But I hate red/orange in my hair. I've actually been using a color spray to buy me time. But I gotta tone this hair!! This has been going on over 25 years. =(
This was so helpful! I've been looking all over for advice on how to effectively color brunette hair without the orange. I'm wanting to go neutral blonde on my lengths and ends but a 6 on my roots, so you're saying I should lighten my roots to an 8 to achieve a 6? Or can I just lighten my entire head to a 9?
So I'm a blonde (level 8 or 9), and I want to go balayage and have my roots darker (dark mushroom) without being orange. I'm cool skin tone. What shade should I be buying at Sally's? Would a 6 work... like 6A? Ash, beige, or neutral? Also, can I put a toner on the darker parts, like the roots? I just bought wella T18 & T27 for the toner.
Hi. Excellent information. I use Natural Instincts light blonde on my hair just to blend the gray with my dark blonde to light brown hair. Natural Instincts is semi permanent but seemed to be doing the job. I had been applying it to the roots only - every 2 months. The last time I used it I had waited 4 months between colorings and reapplied to the 2” of root growth and it did almost nothing. I left it on for 30 min as usual. Any idea what happened? I called Clairol but they didn’t know what went wrong. Thank you.
Love ur color in video just wow..can u guide me number 6 root tap u apply on wet hair ??with vol 20 ??? Secondly no 9 tone u apply on wet with wot vol ?? I guess 20?? plz reply
Ulta ruined my hair turning my roots orange. They couldn’t get it right so I had to put a brown on it. That was a mistake. Then had to use a color remover and try to rebleach … pulled orange and yellow. Rebleached still yellowish. Omg!
Wella is very harsh but it gets the job done I like Schwarzkopf blonde me bleach you can get on amazon if you ever get a hold of that bleach you'll never turn back although Ive heard of people not get correct bleach from certain Amazon sellers go by Amazon's choice that's what I may do I want some shades eq but scared to order off Amazon does anyone know where I could get some that's real product???
Ia D. S. Kevin Murphy has a great ammonia free bleach if you can get your hands on it! If you have a friend with a cosmetology, esthetician or nail tech license, they might be willing to purchase it for you at one of the stores that sell only to licensed people. Hope that helps!
Thanks a lot for sharing this video.I needed it.Too much problem in the past I stop bleaching because of the things I encountered and still not confident doing so.
Okayyyy but I was toning all my nice new highlights and I got HOT ROOTS on my not colored hair. So my highlights toned to the perfect shade and my brown roots turned bright orange!!!! Now what ?????
I went lighter . There's this product they used on my hair. Im not sure if it's the shampoo, Conditioner, or the toner. It made my hair really soft even after shampooing for weeks. Is there a product you suggest that is the closest to what they used?
You explain so well thank you so much. For bleaching you said you used 30 vol developer but when you said the tones 6-8 you didnt mention the developer. You said processing solution. So you didnt use developer??? In trying to do this on my own. Thanks again.
Great video but i'm still wondering... within a few weeks the toner washes out, and then you're left with the lift you had underneath, and there cones the brass again. So is'nt that the same problem really?
Thank you so much for confirming what I am planning on doing as far as lifting my new roots! After I lifting the entire new growth, I have been applying lightest golden blonde (level 10) with a "No Red" color correction due to the amount of natural red tones in my hair. My natural color is a level 6 to 7 with approximately 30% grey. Currently I have an inch of new growth. I was wanting to ask how much new growth do you typically want before lightening your new growth? Any suggestions would be very helpful 🙂. Thank you again for such an awesome video! I look forward to seeing you in the salon soon!! Hopefully we will all be getting back to our lives but with precautions. 👝💄💋🛍. Any VLOGS coming our way for shopping (Sephora), clothing or new makeup tutorials for fall trends 2020?? Sounds like a great time!!
Not the creator, but I do my graying roots myself every 6 weeks with an eSalon kit. Sylvia is an affiliate for eSalon, I use her code. I guess it really depends on how fast your hair grows, on average hair grows about an half-inch per month. I like waiting a bit longer than that , it makes it easier to color my roots without touching my existing color.
Can you do a video If you are a natural level 3 with whites coming in with highlights how you maintain that at home? Do you use permanent color or Demi for the root area? Or do you have a video for that?
Would the red neutralizer ruin my blonde balayage ends if I would to use it on my whole head? Or should I just keep it only to my roots and red spots close to the balayage?
Hi! Wow! Your videos are SO helpful! Thank you so much! I have a hair colour issue right now that I have no idea how to solve in the easiest and most inexpensive way!? I have long box dyed medium to dark brown hair, with a much darker brown band towards the top and then it goes slightly lighter brown again before turning into approximately 2 inches of grey with some medium ash brown regrowth! 😫 I want my hair much lighter, with some blonder baby lights and a nice money piece, and subtle root tap. I want more of a bronde. Maybe a mushroom kind of brown with blonde highlights to help make my regrowth less noticeable. Where do I begin? Lightening the banding? Then all over lightening? How do I handle the regrowth? Dye it and add highlights all over after that, and then a root tap? Please help meeee lol!
I have recently dyed my hair at home the color came out well but the roots hair is quite lighter and orangy or yellowish color from the rest lenght of the hair how can I correct it.. Do I need to color the roots again with the same color to make it even or what should I do ???Please reply hehehe I cant go out with this color on my hair🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like you got “hot roots”, Brad mondo has some good advice on that. If bleaching all over, apply bleach to roots last. To correct - if they are lighter than rest of hair you could do the root tap technique she mentioned with the correct toner from shades eq to tone the orange. I am not a hair or salon person at all, have just watched a lot of videos bc I did the same thing by accident after quarantine 😂. Good luck
When u do very blond highlights all over to blend grays that are only on the top of the head what would u use for the root tap I’ve had people tell me they can only use permanent because of the grays. N others tell me they can’t do root tap at all Because the semi or demi won’t do anything I haven’t found any info on this for younger women If I type in anything about gray hair it’s always referring to older ladies.
I am dumbfounded . I'm natrual brown hair . I love ash brown or blonde I was brown an was using ash brown an it turned my brown hair orange an i used a ion red/gold eliminator never happened ever but last 2yrs it has an I use ion with a 30 because I'm gray a little
This video was awesome! I have one quick question, is there a permanent toner you recommend for this (also is color completely out of the question then?). Because you mentioned this is kinda maintenance (since eq shades fade pretty fast) but are there any alternatives for us who want the colors permanently? Ish? Thank you so much! ❤️
there is no such thing as a permanent hair colour unless you put black on bleach blonde hair then some orange pigment will remain on there for a year or two, but everything else washes out after 1.5 months or less depending how often you wash your hair.
What I want to know too!! I'm not trying to "live" in the salon 💇🏾♂️!! I just got my hair bleached & I don't want 2 have to worry bout the unwanted undertones coming back every 2 months. I ain't made of $ 💵.
There are some by Ultra Bond Age Beautiful that are described as permanent toners & can be found at Sallys. Another is Wella Blondor available on Amazon. This last one (Wella) I think is professional grade so you won't find it at beauty stores.
I just have to say I've been watching your tutorials and they are very helpful. When you're holding up pics of various movie stars I think that you're prettier than all of them! 💐🎂🥂🤩
Thank you so much . I had protein on my hair( keratin) and my hair became orangy. I dyed my hair it after 3 days with 5.11 , it became dark, again today I colored it with 9.12 still the same darkness maybe a very little of a touch of brown some places . Why?? 😫 till now I payed like 100$ I didn’t go to the hairdresser because it will cost me about 350$ the lowest price here in Denmark . What should I do 😫 please I need a help. I don’t want to you use so much money every time without fixing the color. I want to make it high light cold platin blond . Please I need help 🙏🙏🙏
I had 3-4" of ugly warm banding from level 8 tint touch-ups on my naturally ashy level 6 hair. During quarantine, I followed your previous baby lights and toning tutorials (which is what you are explaining in this new video.) It completely fixed my problem! I only wished I had discovered it sooner because I hated that warm outgrowth. I'm sorry to see what has happened to your industry this year. You are a very good teacher and I appreciate your efforts to show us DIY.

Because most of us are doing more diy hair stuff I wanted to mention that there is this trend of using baking soda with peroxide as a "no damage" lightening solution. So, I tried that a few months back and while it Did lighten the hair it was very harsh and it was very damaging. I ended up having to cut about 2 inches off my length and then dusted to get rid of all my fried ends. Not to mention that I had to shampoo my hair and rinse multiple times to get the grit out of my scalp and hair. It was just a nightmare lol stick with bleach imo! Thanks for the video, I trust your advice and you look stunning as always! 💗
My Gosh! You are the Blonde Hair Wiz! Y'all, I've followed her job for over 3 years. Silvia is not only an expert but a professional who is not afraid to share her knowledge FOR FREE!!! If she's not an angel, at least is a pretty good person. Sorry for being cheesy... maybe it's this quarantine, but I have to add --> Watching her videos is almost going to counseling. You get therapy for depression, anxiety, and cry spells! Thank you, Silvia :)
Who is Sylvia???
Lady you are a LIFE saver!!! Luckily I didn't have to lift my hair but a little 6n knocked my orange out enough to be tolerable or even better. I had a root tap that went all wrong and was losing my mind. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge!!!!!!
Im going to try. The salon made my money piece roots muppet orange. Thank God thats all she touched on my head. Im really stressed out since its at the front of my face.
@@tbunnyshy1 same boat!! Apparently it's my hair bc this is the 2nd stylist to do the same thing. I've done so much better going at it at home with a cap🤬
I'm so glad you did this video. Thank you so much. This is actually a really big problem for alot of people. I have been to the salon so many times and they still can't fix it. It's crazy because I have been told so many times to "bring inspo pic" and even when I do I still get some weird variation of red blonde with golden blonde highlights here and there. It's just annoying!!
I thought it was just me.
You & I must be going to the same lame hairdressers!! I've been to high-end salons down to Aveda beauty school with instructors overseeing the foils. The only time I actually had a successful foil (had bands that she fixed the next day) was after the second foil... BUT she bleached 45 minutes on top of highlights she's done the day b4 & all my 'money pieces' broke off over the next month. But I looked 'freakin awesome' for the next month... & then just 'awesome' into I had 8 months worth of roots. I was too scared to have it messed up again. But another hairdresser did! Level 8 ASH is my enemy! Makes my hair color look like dirty saw dust color.
Same...!!!!!!! Four hairdressers in NY. Three in Connecticut. Nobody *ever* gets it right. Never.
@@angelas.9717 I recently went to a salon who did an amazing job. In fact they don't even use purple shampoos because they lift hair so amazingly. I was blown away. In fact they recommend against using purple shampoos and just concentrate on getting the lift right. Then follow with the correct toner or toners then maybe gloss. I bring up the purple shampoos because all of us blondes are told to use it like it's the saving grace and it's not. It always leaves my hair looking metallic magenta or gray. I had a great experience and have been getting compliments non stop!
Coming from a fellow stylist... Best video on TH-cam for this problem hands down!
I have a question!! If you are going lighter on the root with hair color and not bleach , if u been going alittle lighter per session there’s going to be a band from say your natural “level 4” how does adding a lighter shade each time fix the “ warm tone “ from the root if ur only touching up ur roots and not the bands from going lighter ? New stylist here!!!
I am totally comfortable doing this and have been retouching my own highlights since March, but what I haven’t found is a Demi gloss that even comes close to shades EQ for toner. What toning product available to the public do you recommend? The wella toners (that are really permanent color) blow my level 4-5 base up and turn it orange even when I use 10 volume.
You’re my favorite! Been watching you for a while now. You always give off such a positive vibe. Seem to be very beautiful & genuine person.
I think this video will help me a lot! I’ve always been blonde, lifting the hair prior to coloring it seemed unnecessary. You explained it so now I understand what was happening to my color at the roots. I was always using ash/blue/violet colors so it’s so frustrating to end up brassy after a hand full of washes! Thank you! 😊
I just went to Ulta and paid $190 to get my brown grown out roots highlighted and this is exactly what happened. My hair is more orange than blonde. I don’t like it but I don’t like being a complainer either. It’s been two weeks and it appears to be getting more orange over the last two weeks. I just wanted my bit of gray and my dark roots lifted to blonde like the bottom bc it had grown out a lot with the covid lockdown. I guess I should call and see if the guy will make it right. First time this has ever happened. Not sure why this happened? 😢
Same here! How did you get it fixed? Please help!
Blue shampoo will combat orange tones
@@hollyharvey1986 blue shampoo will combat orange tones to make it an ash tone
he didn't let bleach develop long enough used high number low time. it should be a low developer higher timing.
I am In ugly warm hair hell!!! I will bring this to my hair dresser and pray :) I wish I could just have you do it
Can you make a video how to do highlights at the back of the head? It's so haaard to do it yourself. 😅
Haha agree. As a stylist since I was eh 16 years old and mother and two aunts as stylist as well, simple answer is usually right, use a cap!! I’m sorry to burst any young hair stylist bubbles but hear me when I tell you sometimes the old ways still work the best !!!!! You can feel the holes with your fingers and as long as you have fbr cap nice and tight it’s all good !! I just used one did it myself and everyone at work swears I went to see my stylist !! Lol. Oh and I still use old fashioned sponge curlers !!!! Beats a curling iron any day and they last longer !!! Strips of old t shirts for rag curls !! Amen :). Happy hair do’s y’all!!
HELP! I went from virgin dark brown hair to a heavy amount of bright blonde highlights a few weeks ago. I loved it. However I had to get it retoned because the underneath was several shades lighter than the top. After she retoned it and dried it, the blonde now looks like a brassy dark blonde or brown. I hate it. WHAT DO I DO to get it back without resending my hair???!!! My wedding is next week 😢
Ive been doing almost exactly the same . I tone my roots with 9,21 1o volumes ox for 20 minutes after retouching grays with 7. It works for me
Years after watching your channel and then getting cought in having kids and basically no time for youtube, I find myself at the moment having to do my hair again on my own, and where do I go? Yep, Ellebangs. I don’t trust any other hairstylist on youtube with advice especially not for anything blonde hair. So I just wanted to leave a thanx for helping not just me but surely many other women all over the world not to walk around with sad looking brassy hair:) Because let’s be honest when the hair and skin are good, even the bag and the shoe doesn’t really matter that much. Thumbs up for the ever gorgeous, smart and very real Ellebangs!x
I started doing virtual consultations I’d you need additional help. You can check out the details on ellebangs.com 😘
Thank you, I surely will✨🦋
Thank you so much for these videos. I know my hairdresser is so very good, and just a real sweetheart. We have been struggling with my roots pretty much 3+ years though. I am almost 50 and a natural mousey brown, I always pull red. She has gotten me super light blonde, but I have a lot of damage now, even with olaplex. I’d say mid to ends. She does not over lap, but I went once to a closer salon and the baby highlights the lady did all over obviously overlapped even though she promised she wouldn’t. Anyhow, I stopped the highlights with my girl and have just been getting root touch ups to cover my grey. Religiously every 5/6 weeks.I can’t understand why we/she can’t get them to be a chocolatety brown.? Seems like sometimes they are and other times they are so orangey. It kills me to leave feeling so orange and all the time and cost ☹️ She has been having a hard time with COVID/young children etc so I have purchased product pre measured from her once. It turned out lovely when I did it🤷♀️ my last visit I had to go to a coworker and it looked great when I left, but after one wash bam orangy again. I’ve been using purple shampoo once a week to try and hide. I feel you can help with a formula that will work for me, after watching this particular video I see your hair looks just like mine did before I starting going grey. How can I get a consultation please?
I can not answer everything, but you will want blue shampoo to correct orange (and green shampoo to correct actual red)
MegaTinni is exactly you need a blue shampoo for brassy hair more for brunettes and purple is for light blondes . I wouldn’t use them too often maybe once a week because it can dry the hair . Use a good color safe shampoo and conditioner don’t wash hair everyday ... try 2- 3 days . Update all hot tools . Use heat protectant every time you put heAt in your hair I highly recommend “it’s a 10” leave in spray and the deep conditioning treatment so worth the money and will help you hair . Get a shower filter if you have hard water it will wash out your color and the minerals can give that brassy look . I’m a hair dresser and I work where there’s a a lot of hard water and anyone with it I always notice their hair always brassy and super dry . If you do you need to do a hard water treatment I recommend the brand “malibu “ find a stylist who has that type of treatment first and then do your color . What level are you ? I always used redken cover up for grey coverage and I find them being pretty neutral it covers really well and their ash tones are pretty cool toned . I usually mix an NN and a NGB to my mix cause sometimes you need the gold because the NN can look a little dull. But it def helps with the coverage and keeping the warm tones under control your stylist was probably using a color with too much warmth in it . she needs to neutralize it using an ash tone like blue which neutralize the orange and give you a neutral color. Also maybe she’s using to high of a developer and lifting too much of your natural hair color which exposes even more warm tones I would use 20 vol .
Because in order to completely cover gray you have to use a permanent color, (There are exceptions) which opens the cuticle more with either ammonia or another lifting derrivative, and exposes natural warmth. ALL hunan hair pulls warm. When we go gray the Pigment leaves the hair, so the natural has to be put back in to cover. The more natural you need in the formulation, the less ash (cool) you can add in. It depends on your percentage of gray in the hair. (25%? 50-100%?) Once you go permanent it's a different game and you fight the brassy banding that comes with it. There's more to it, but just know it has to do with the permanent formulation and the % of gray in your hair. It's not your stylist's fault that the roots go brassy. The toning shampoos can help but they can also over tone your brightness on the mids and ends. J switched to Chromatics for my own permanent because tbeir mix ins really cooled it down. I could put in a 9N and add some violet to counter the warmth. If you're darker, sone blue can be added to to combat the orange. I also use Guy Tang's Ni series because it's a cool, ashy permanent right out of the tube. I can also add his shadow ash to the mix and it's gorgeous.
A good salon gives you 10 days to go back and get your hair fixed by another stylist.
I have watched your videos for YEARS and I FINALLY know what your talking about with everything. Took me doing a foilayage on my hair, now having dark level 4/5, natural roots , watching the reverse bayalage, and this and another video together to GET IT I still see orange in your back mid lengths and I'm thinking that's just somthing to deal with
I'm guessing now I'm gonna try to lift my base to a 6A *( with a 6g and 6n ) 1st then root tap with 6A after highlights every 3rd time I do my hair . O I need some product !! Lol I'm gonn as have to get from Sally RN. Cheaper for me , but I will eventually know' the right color and tones to stock up on after some strand test 1st the ofcorse after a few mths of trial : ) your amazing! You do explain things differently but now that I get it, I GET IT ! : ) your beautiful..
Plz explain how to not get a yellow band when bleaching long roots, ive asked a lot of hair dressers on TH-cam and Nadia but your the person who inspired me to go platinum and I’ve gone a bit to long in between bleaching but I don’t wanna have platinum roots and platinum tips and a yellow band in between if you know what I mean.. love ya sylvia
This is such a good video and explained so well. Thank you girl, you are amazing!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I can't say it enough! I finally managed to get rid of those meh orange-ish outgrown roots! And having quite the same hair colour as you made the decisions even easier! I used the same toners 😄 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Are there Sally’s beauty supply versions of this ?
Good Question
Yes! You can use Sally’s generic gloss it is the off brand version of the Redken toner they use at salons! Use it for root tap, to tone etc! It’s pretty good!
I cannot thank you enough!! I know these videos are not at all as easy to film, edit & post, as some people may think. I love the way your hair is colored!! I WAS trying to achieve similar results & I ended up with warm kinda orangey (not a word I know,lol) roots & ash ends!!YIKES!!😵 Of course I have somewhere to be tomorrow morning.. thank goodness for baseball caps,🤣🤣🤣!! On my way home, I will most definitely be stopping to purchase more products!! I've watched a few more of your videos and took notes. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!💞💯💞
I just did this last night and had the same orange results! Did you figure out what worked to fix it? I’d love to know!! Lol
what to use if you don't have access to redken products??
I went to get my hair done two days ago and my hair stylist over-toned my hair and my roots are now orange! Will this method help me since my roots are orange because of the toner rather than turning orange over time?
Same thing happened to me...don't know what to do
Blue shampoo combats orange tone.
But how do you lift the roots without touching the rest of your hair for an even deposit that will lighten the roots by a little and darken the rest by two more shades?
Do it as close as possible and the bleach will swell a bit. It will get a bit on the other but when it’s all down and together you won’t notice the small change. So long as you seeing doing one stright line and a huge glob your going to be fine.
Go to beauty school
@@theparlourlady543how is this helpful? Some people don't have the funds to get their hair done professionally. This is so entitled
Do you ever do videos on diy base color going lighter but also with grey coverage? I have so much grey yet my roots are always so warm.
Same!
Same
Same!
Yep, especially for us level 6-7ish blondes! It’s so hard to get gray coverage at that level that isn’t guaranteed to fade to an unflattering hue falling somewhere along the spectrum of the Lori-Vallow-Prison-Garb-Orange family of colors! Speaking of her, fun fact for y’all: Child-Murdering Cult Mom Lori is actually a hairstylist herself, originally from San Bernardino! Which is Reason #456 I find her 2000’s-era mahogany-underneath-blonde so curious!) 😂 In all seriousness though, I’m wondering if using a Demi-Permanent line known for at least a moderate amount of gray coverage (perhaps L’Oréal DIA Richesse or Redken SEQ cream?) is a better solution for tiding over those of us with less than 50% grays, who can no longer get away with just a head full of foils...thoughts??? I just feel like permanent color on my type of hair is always going to fade to an unflattering color, to the point that we need to figure out a way to address that warmth strategically, rather than always having to do corrective work once those between-the-foils sections inevitably fade to yuck. Wouldn’t refreshing the base with a Demi every 4-6 weeks ultimately be easier on the hair than using permanent and then having to correct the tone every time anyhow? Would love to hear any insight you might have Sylvia, since I know you specialize in blondes! 💛
I call most 7-8’s the no color zone, for it lacks depth and light! I either mix 1/4 of a #6 and the rest 3/4 #7 20 vol. same is true with your reds, don’t ever put straight red color with 20 vol on the roots aka the heat zone . mix 1/4 red to 3/4 brown or blonde. That way you don’t end up with “Hot Roots”. Or you could use 10 vol with your 7’s and/or use Shades EQ Demi put cap over it and under the dryer for 20 then take cap off and let it sit for 20 more mins for gray coverage. It’s ok if the roots
Are a bit darker, especially now!
What about going from almost solid blonde to wanting a bunch of low lights? Is there a way to get a really ashy brown color in a level 6-7 to stay and not fade to gold so quickly?
I've watched so many and I just don't undastnd but your actually getting through to me your speaking my language hun I bleached a money piece on to my dyed balayage and I bleached a bit of the roots but I feel confident to have another go x
I'm going to try this myself because I am always orange at the hair salon
How did it go? I’ve had the same issue. Sucks to pay hundreds of dollars and end up looking like you dyed your hair at home from a box.
@@twilit I haven't done anything
I am new to hair coloring and am watching your videos. Do you rinse the color or bleach off before doing the root tap?
Hi there. I have a question. How would you remove roots melts? My client changed her mind and realized that she doesn't like darker roots after we did it. So I'm just wondering if there is any easy way to remove it like color remove it? Will it be too steong or do u have to put foils on roots again. This is a very fresh color . Thanks
Please help me
I have one client i just cant break thru the gold no matter what i try. Do you have any suggestions?
I think I’m that client😂
Break through with bleach or color?
Perfect timing.. you have no idea how much I needed this!! 🍊🍊🍊
I just recently went to a newer salon. I have white hairs and bleaching it wasn't helping my whites. So the new stylist went in where my whites were with a level 3 and highlights. Finally did cover my Grey's but left it light enough without making me to pale
This is exactly my hair problem, however I didn’t use colour. Lightener highlights, then 6n shades eq toots and 10n ends. I think I just took my lightener off SLIGHTLY too soon and finding it hard to cover this warm root
So what colour would we at home use for a root tap ? In the wella shades as you showed on other video , thanks btw saving us the shame of DIY mistakes 😃
First of all you are GORGEOUS! and second thank you so much! All your videos are literally life saving info! I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the world where other haordressers dont...You are a badass💙
Video request: brown balyaged and babylighted hair that is still warm --> work with the orange or lighten farther and add desired shade back in?
Thanks,, I've watched your videos before but re-watching again makes so much more sense. Love your videos. xx
I have strawberry blonde hair which I went more auburn with darker warm brunette lowlights and blonde highlights. Not only did the highlights not stay contrasting for long, but how do I deal with roots that are naturally "brassy" or blend lighter hair into the darker hair? So many videos show darker roots coming in
Thanks girl, I'm gonna be lightning my hair later today, wish me luck, n my hair is brown med
You always look so beautiful. Never used redkin, I will try them now
Hello, I would like to know what toner to use to tone my medium and long since I have yellow and light orange highlights, help me choose the correct one, please thank you
What did you end up getting that worked for you? I have the same thing and I can’t figure out what color to go for
I recently (2 days ago) wanted my hair highlighted. I wanted it blonde, i was being realistic and said as much as my hair lightens highlights. I wanted my natural hair to peep threw my highlights (chunky, non patchy highlights)im a 3n naturally..i had a golden brown dye over all my hair. Lady said no black! She was going to leave my hair as is and just add full hair chunky and small lights. Turns out my highlights are almost green, and she put bleach on all my roots so its orange, snd i have dark patches on roots also, where she missed! Im so pissed! I paid her 300 snd left tip! What can i do? Can someone help me on what to do? I need to get out my home and now im looking a mess! 😪also, i approched her during the appointment after she washed my hair out and she said i was tripping in her own way. But until today i saw the dark roots missed. 😶🥺
Can I use this method of a bad coloring job that made my hair super ugly yellow with strawberry blondish yellowish roots also a result of my bad hair dye color? Its really dull looking yellow with warm reddish tones tones roots yet my ends are very light! I have about 5 inches of super ugly dull VERY YELLOW hair growth w funky roots and super light ends. I wont go to a salon due to Covid. Where I live is really bad & i have beginning stages of copd so im terrified of going to a salon.
I bleached my hair and toned it and some parts of my hair was a nice blonde and the other part was orange What should I do to get the brassy orange color out ?
Bleach again
I still watch your videos every time i do my hair
so what do you do now to get it blonde instead of yellow?
looks easy and this video is very helpful
thank you for the up close only
I thought my roots were too dark to do baby lights 💯
you are the godess of hair. Most informative and educational youtube hair stylist.
Any suggestions for me? I am a natural level 7 with about 50% gray. I go darker to cover my gray, level 6 or 5 and ALWAYS have orange/red hair when the sun hits it even though I use neutral or ash color.
Is the colour deposit only or does it lift slightly? I would say deposit only and make sure its permanent and left on longer :)
I would use 10 vol instead of 20 vol developer. The lift delends on the volume, higher more lift and lower less. And if you want to diminish the warmth try 7AA OR 7NA PERMANENT COLOR
It would be nice if you would show the products used & how to mix .. I need to fix mines lol
Hi Sylvia, you make amazing videos. Thank you so much for sharing your amazzzing info.
What about gray hair? It is different than a natural or coloured hair colour.
There are different levels of gray on a head. They are rarely ever all the same. The colour lighter on top and darker in the back of the head.
The top can be dyed with a colour to a level 8 -9. So you are blonde.
But the back - underneath can only be dyed to a level 7 RUST tone. Eek!! 🤯
Would luv to know how lighten the back without bleach? Do not wish to use bleach.
Perhaps with an accelerator that is not bleach? Scruples has one.
How about a High lift blonde with 30 or 40 volume?
Or, what about dying the whole head with a level 7 and 8 - 1/2 and 1/2 with an ASH Blonde? Could this result in a medium ash blonde all over evenly and cancelling out all red tones?
Will toner and purple shampoo work properly on dyed hair?
Would luv to have the answers to these questions. You are definetly one of the BEST with hair. 😊
But what you are doing is a DOUBLE PROCESS (Bleach on top of Color) which is extremely harsh especially for fine denier hair which will only lead to breakage. If you want platinum blonde and your base is dark color won’t work. What’s worse darker blonde or damaged, fried platinum blonde hair that is so fragile and broken that you have to wear extensions (which btw, also cause more damage)?
Hi Elle, thank you for the video. SoI am brunette who wants to achieve a Level 7A without the Red/Orange. What Toner would you suggest? (I do use Wella products)
I've had issues with orange roots my whole life. The rest can be ok, but the roots have that orange hue under the color on my scalp and it's horrible. I've yet to find anyone that can help me really find a solution I can use. I use Wella 50 toner on it and haven't in awhile, cause the rest of my hair is ok, but a bit dark. But the new growth, ugh! It never matches the rest of my hair!! So last night I used 30 volume, cause it seems to me that 20 is not lifting it enough and only getting to orange. Well, I have the color, though it went darker than I wanted and that was a 5! Gonna try the wells T50 asap. I guess use 20 volume? I'm scared to use 30 again on my hair. I used to bleach it with 40 and powder when I did it blue, purple several years ago. Then I left it alone to grow back, for the most part, and put stuff like Artic Fox, etc. But I'm tired of my only option is going black. But I hate red/orange in my hair. I've actually been using a color spray to buy me time. But I gotta tone this hair!! This has been going on over 25 years. =(
Same!
You are truly a life saver. Best one ever 😗
This was so helpful! I've been looking all over for advice on how to effectively color brunette hair without the orange. I'm wanting to go neutral blonde on my lengths and ends but a 6 on my roots, so you're saying I should lighten my roots to an 8 to achieve a 6? Or can I just lighten my entire head to a 9?
Could you show some different ways to style a short pixie cut?
Awesome! Explain root tap better-color only without developer? Did you put root tap and tone with wet hair?
So I'm a blonde (level 8 or 9), and I want to go balayage and have my roots darker (dark mushroom) without being orange. I'm cool skin tone. What shade should I be buying at Sally's? Would a 6 work... like 6A? Ash, beige, or neutral? Also, can I put a toner on the darker parts, like the roots? I just bought wella T18 & T27 for the toner.
Excellent detailed and specific explanation! Thank you!
I love your videos I recently went blonde and your information is so valuable I’m so thankful for it!
Ahhhh ok so I just need to bleach roots again then tone. Thank you
Why 6N on my roots is reddish? In your root looks dark and pretty!
Hi. Excellent information. I use Natural Instincts light blonde on my hair just to blend the gray with my dark blonde to light brown hair. Natural Instincts is semi permanent but seemed to be doing the job. I had been applying it to the roots only - every 2 months. The last time I used it I had waited 4 months between colorings and reapplied to the 2” of root growth and it did almost nothing. I left it on for 30 min as usual. Any idea what happened? I called Clairol but they didn’t know what went wrong. Thank you.
Love ur color in video just wow..can u guide me number 6 root tap u apply on wet hair ??with vol 20 ???
Secondly no 9 tone u apply on wet with wot vol ?? I guess 20?? plz reply
Love this. where are they products????
Ulta ruined my hair turning my roots orange. They couldn’t get it right so I had to put a brown on it. That was a mistake. Then had to use a color remover and try to rebleach … pulled orange and yellow. Rebleached still yellowish. Omg!
I love you, I’ve been watching you for years!!! I ran into someone at sallys and they were also watching your videos lol #Hairgoddess🦋
What is the best oil for extremely dry bleached hair
Can you recommend bleach that we can get on amazon? And toner we can get too? I always use Wella but it’s too harsh
Yes that's what I'm wondering about too
Me, too!!
Same question.
I need ammonia free bleach
Wella is very harsh but it gets the job done I like Schwarzkopf blonde me bleach you can get on amazon if you ever get a hold of that bleach you'll never turn back although Ive heard of people not get correct bleach from certain Amazon sellers go by Amazon's choice that's what I may do I want some shades eq but scared to order off Amazon does anyone know where I could get some that's real product???
Ia D. S. Kevin Murphy has a great ammonia free bleach if you can get your hands on it! If you have a friend with a cosmetology, esthetician or nail tech license, they might be willing to purchase it for you at one of the stores that sell only to licensed people. Hope that helps!
Thanks a lot for sharing this video.I needed it.Too much problem in the past I stop bleaching because of the things I encountered and still not confident doing so.
Okayyyy but I was toning all my nice new highlights and I got HOT ROOTS on my not colored hair. So my highlights toned to the perfect shade and my brown roots turned bright orange!!!! Now what ?????
This just happened to me too! I have no idea how to fix it
I went lighter . There's this product they used on my hair. Im not sure if it's the shampoo, Conditioner, or the toner. It made my hair really soft even after shampooing for weeks. Is there a product you suggest that is the closest to what they used?
You explain so well thank you so much. For bleaching you said you used 30 vol developer but when you said the tones 6-8 you didnt mention the developer. You said processing solution. So you didnt use developer??? In trying to do this on my own. Thanks again.
Great video but i'm still wondering... within a few weeks the toner washes out, and then you're left with the lift you had underneath, and there cones the brass again. So is'nt that the same problem really?
I love your videos, Sylvia!! I love your hair color!! It's beautiful!! 💖
Thank you so much for confirming what I am planning on doing as far as lifting my new roots! After I lifting the entire new growth, I have been applying lightest golden blonde (level 10) with a "No Red" color correction due to the amount of natural red tones in my hair. My natural color is a level 6 to 7 with approximately 30% grey. Currently I have an inch of new growth. I was wanting to ask how much new growth do you typically want before lightening your new growth? Any suggestions would be very helpful 🙂. Thank you again for such an awesome video! I look forward to seeing you in the salon soon!! Hopefully we will all be getting back to our lives but with precautions. 👝💄💋🛍. Any VLOGS coming our way for shopping (Sephora), clothing or new makeup tutorials for fall trends 2020?? Sounds like a great time!!
Not the creator, but I do my graying roots myself every 6 weeks with an eSalon kit. Sylvia is an affiliate for eSalon, I use her code.
I guess it really depends on how fast your hair grows, on average hair grows about an half-inch per month. I like waiting a bit longer than that , it makes it easier to color my roots without touching my existing color.
What is eSalon?
Can you do a video If you are a natural level 3 with whites coming in with highlights how you maintain that at home? Do you use permanent color or Demi for the root area? Or do you have a video for that?
I have a lot of white hair & want a cool color. What brand can I use?
Would the red neutralizer ruin my blonde balayage ends if I would to use it on my whole head? Or should I just keep it only to my roots and red spots close to the balayage?
what products and level toners are being used?
Does she have a list of products . I want to try this
Hi! Wow! Your videos are SO helpful! Thank you so much!
I have a hair colour issue right now that I have no idea how to solve in the easiest and most inexpensive way!?
I have long box dyed medium to dark brown hair, with a much darker brown band towards the top and then it goes slightly lighter brown again before turning into approximately 2 inches of grey with some medium ash brown regrowth! 😫
I want my hair much lighter, with some blonder baby lights and a nice money piece, and subtle root tap. I want more of a bronde. Maybe a mushroom kind of brown with blonde highlights to help make my regrowth less noticeable.
Where do I begin? Lightening the banding? Then all over lightening? How do I handle the regrowth? Dye it and add highlights all over after that, and then a root tap?
Please help meeee lol!
I'm such a big fan. Love this channel ❤️
i was not created to be able to do this lol, im wanting the blue shampoo you recommended, but you look fab and give so much help ty
I have recently dyed my hair at home the color came out well but the roots hair is quite lighter and orangy or yellowish color from the rest lenght of the hair how can I correct it.. Do I need to color the roots again with the same color to make it even or what should I do ???Please reply hehehe I cant go out with this color on my hair🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like you got “hot roots”, Brad mondo has some good advice on that. If bleaching all over, apply bleach to roots last. To correct - if they are lighter than rest of hair you could do the root tap technique she mentioned with the correct toner from shades eq to tone the orange. I am not a hair or salon person at all, have just watched a lot of videos bc I did the same thing by accident after quarantine 😂. Good luck
When u do very blond highlights all over to blend grays that are only on the top of the head what would u use for the root tap I’ve had people tell me they can only use permanent because of the grays. N others tell me they can’t do root tap at all Because the semi or demi won’t do anything I haven’t found any info on this for younger women If I type in anything about gray hair it’s always referring to older ladies.
Your video is amazing, what do you put in your hair to not make it look so brassy?
Hey Elle, could you please review blondme and do a session using it? I’m looking at the vol7 with bleach and the pastel and dark toners.
Thank you very much. Where i can buy those products? International shipping
I am dumbfounded . I'm natrual brown hair . I love ash brown or blonde I was brown an was using ash brown an it turned my brown hair orange an i used a ion red/gold eliminator never happened ever but last 2yrs it has an I use ion with a 30 because I'm gray a little
This video was awesome! I have one quick question, is there a permanent toner you recommend for this (also is color completely out of the question then?). Because you mentioned this is kinda maintenance (since eq shades fade pretty fast) but are there any alternatives for us who want the colors permanently? Ish? Thank you so much! ❤️
there is no such thing as a permanent hair colour unless you put black on bleach blonde hair then some orange pigment will remain on there for a year or two, but everything else washes out after 1.5 months or less depending how often you wash your hair.
What I want to know too!! I'm not trying to "live" in the salon 💇🏾♂️!! I just got my hair bleached & I don't want 2 have to worry bout the unwanted undertones coming back every 2 months. I ain't made of $ 💵.
There are some by Ultra Bond Age Beautiful that are described as permanent toners & can be found at Sallys. Another is Wella Blondor available on Amazon. This last one (Wella) I think is professional grade so you won't find it at beauty stores.
@@allycat7486 wella is literally at Sally’s lmao
@@nonexistent3037 there is a professional wella line, that's what they were talking about.
I just have to say I've been watching your tutorials and they are very helpful. When you're holding up pics of various movie stars I think that you're prettier than all of them! 💐🎂🥂🤩
Excellent Information 👍🏼👏🏻
Thank you so much . I had protein on my hair( keratin) and my hair became orangy. I dyed my hair it after 3 days with 5.11 , it became dark, again today I colored it with 9.12 still the same darkness maybe a very little of a touch of brown some places . Why?? 😫 till now I payed like 100$ I didn’t go to the hairdresser because it will cost me about 350$ the lowest price here in Denmark . What should I do 😫 please I need a help. I don’t want to you use so much money every time without fixing the color. I want to make it high light cold platin blond . Please I need help 🙏🙏🙏
If you have to cover gray would you cover the grays first and then do the baby lights then retone?
What other brand can we use when you’re not a hairdresser and you can’t buy Redken products online ?
I need a color correction but was wanting to know if you know of a good colorist in San Antonio Tx?
Do you have a video on how you do your weaving for the baby lights?
