I don’t know why hair dressers say that box dyes are bad for your hair, cause when I use box dye my hair feels amazing! More so ....when hair dresser uses there dye products, especially when they use bleach. Hair feels like straw. But if I use box dye bleaching kit, my hair feels way better and less damaging. I think box dyes have come a long way.
Right?? Paid $300 once to take my already orangish blonde hair to a brighter orange and got dark maroon red 🙃 The hairdresser said it'd lighten, but it didn't. Just turned brown lmao
I died my hair red in the summer. It was the BIGGEST mistake ever! My roots grew out really fast and when I Tried going back to blond it just turned orange.
I just want to THANK YOU!!!! I am African American, i have long curly hair, and I also have control issues when it comes to my hair. I did the EXACT recipe that you suggested and I've never looked back. The color is so perfect. The other advice that you gave that was really on target is that I DO NOT put any heat on my hair. I really think that makes the difference when you insist on doing it from home, like I do. Thanks for sharing!
I truly loved this video! You're smart, patient and give good advice. it's a breath of fresh air to see someone share, warn and give positive advice along with not being negative at all. Your positivity and demeanor is lovely 🎉☺️
You hit the nail on the head when it comes to needing control over our long hair :P EVERY SINGLE time I've walked into a salon to get my hair done, they think it's funny, or "professional" to cut off more then I ask for.. or do what they think is right. When I say an inch, take an inch- not 6. It takes a long time, and a lot of care to maintain really long hair, and for someone to think they understand it better then the OWNER of that hair is ridiculous. We are paying you for your service and for what we asked you to do, not your opinion or to assume you know more about my hair then I do- when (at least here) all the girls have extremely short hair!! So yes, we need control over our long hair.. because we know it best :) I know how to bleach, cut, colour and shape my hair exactly how I need it- and though affording a salon is easy- they don't listen. So we do what we can at home :)
im posting under my husbands account but i know how you feel. i had hair down to my butt long thick beautiful hair and i hate going to get it trimmed because they think like you said an inch is 6 inches. i left the hair salon with my hair cut up above my shoulders and i cried. the girl was sick and started coughing and ended up taking a huge chunk off my hair. i called the owner the next day and she said come in and i will fix it but i replied how can you fix hair that was removed that was not supposed to be. it has been so hard for my hair to grow out ever since then and i will never trust anyone fully with my hair again. i use to cut my own hair but it is just hard to do sometimes.
Teaf okay well maybe next time you should specify how much you think an inch is. Everyone’s interpretations are different when it comes to inches and hair, so obviously someone like you who values their long hair might think you only want a slither off but an inch to a stylist could be more. That’s why you should always show them how much you really want off.
Kara Eltringham why should she have to break out a ruler for a hair stylist? If you are cutting peoples hair and dont know what an inch is, you need to put the scissors down. I have had similar experiences as well, so have several of my friends and family. Videos like this wouldnt exist if hair stylists didnt do whatever they wanted to peoples heads and expect $2-300 for it
This is absolutely my fave hair color on you. And people are so silly...clearly you just waited the appropriate amount of time so that you could give the most accurate and helpful advice.
As a stylist and former Sally's employee I cannot thank you enough for the disclaimers and thorough explanations of everything. Some people think they can just grab whatever for cheap and it will work no matter what. Although I am someone that prefers pro color, I do have box brands that I am fine recommending to other people. I've never worked with Feria lighteners, but their reds are amazing! Btw, GORGEOUS color!!!
i dye my hair from home all the time, and ive also done it in a salon, my hair feels the exact same either way. its a waste of money to pay some one else to do it, i pay 10 bucks at walmart or over 100 for a fancy head massage. these products are just as good for your hair as the hair dresser, theirs just lasts longer, only difference ive seen.
Maddy Guidolin Unless you're someone like me who colored her own hair for YEARS and decided I wanted a heavy weave of blondes and browns. No way I could have achieved a full head of foil by myself. (: All over colors can definitely be achieved easily at home - but if you want something a little more advanced, a salon is a must!
I, know this video is old, but I used the L'Oreal box dye that she mentioned the Champagne Blond 8 1/2 and it came out beautiful. This was the only You Tube video of store bought box dye that has actually worked out for me. Thank you for this video.
I'm dying my hair using these products as we speak. I'm obsessed with your color 😍. I haven't touched my hair with heat or chemicals in a year so I'm super excited.
I'm a cosmetologist, and honestly if you can reach your accomplished look with box color do it. Technically you are paying for labor at a salon. trust and believe I really do like the matrix, gold well, redken, lines.. especially v-lite...bleach wash... o..no worries about what people say in the end it your hair. ur hair is very pretty. I'm thinking of doing light brown
Desiree Sandoval If you were a cosmetologist you know that using box college is extremely damaging and terrible for your hair since it has metallics in the hair color that come in boxes???
Yes, but I'm not stuck up either and when you don't have money you have to work with what you can get. I've been a cosmetologist for 10 yrs and have done fashion shows, I'm not the type to floss on others . Yes, I do know that. Trust and believe your not teaching me nothing. God bless you and thank you.
Desiree Sandoval I dyed my hair black a few weeks ago, I am very scared to try color oops on my hair and doesn't work, I will try it on a small part of hair and cross fingers, unfortunately hair salons are too price for my pocket.
Color oops is better then bleaching.. I actually first bleached it to dye it red then that faded out, then I put color oops I still had some red and orange tones but I ended up dying it hi- lift light brown it actually looks decent... I understand becareful because u will get damage... Feed your hair with hair masks, coconut oil, avocado, or macadamia oil... It help before you do that. God bless you.
This is the exact shade I'm aiming for. My experience will be different from yours because I'm starting with a different base but I feel a lot more confident in the process after watching this. Thanks, girl!
I also do my haircolour myself and have been for a very long time! I basically follow what my stylist recommends and I've found that using protein on your hair right after the process makes SUCH a difference!
Color oops is my best friend when changing hair color. Always goes orange/strawberry blonde but I just use a light ash blonde over it with anti orange dye/corrector by Schwarzkopf and I get all red tones out and have blonde hair. Color oops will tell you on the box that it doesn't work with colors like pink, blue, purple, green. Only permanent hair colors, not direct dyes. I used that to get my grey/silver color without bleaching my hair once 😏💁🏼👌🏼 color oops doesn't make my hair dry tho, but I always shampoo and condition afterwards anyways. Love the blonde you achieved 👍🏼😍
I used Joico color eraser to get that exact color out of my daughters hair. That and streaks of manic panic atomic turquoise. Now she has white/blonde hair. Not from the color remover, just the next color choice she went for.
I’ve been in a very bad place the last 2 years with depression my hair is half natural light brown and half box dye faded red I’m going to give this a try what a fresh summer blonde ❤
Thank you for this video . I used Color Oops , then bleached and my hair was a brassy mess . The L'oreal Paris Superior Preference in 8 1/2 A hair color was perfect . It got rid of the brassiness but didn't make my hair color really ashy . Thanks again .
Girl!!! I had such a hard time getting my red out. I was forced to go back dark :( Glad for the tips though because I do want to go red again someday I miss it!!!
Yes! People don't understand that I don't like other people doing my hair! I like doing my own! Right now, it's a really light platinum but I'm going to dye it silver/gray soon.
My hair was destroyed by hair stylists at First Choice. I had to wear oil products in my hair everyday for a month to fix the dry, broken ends. I kept my hair in a high ponytail/bun. My hair just looked wet thank goodness; it helped me! It was either this or shaving my head, which is never an option!
Beautiful! I have used Color Oops before, too, and have always used either L'Oreal Superior Preference or Garnier Nutrisse box blondes (I have a natural ash base). The 8.1/2 was exactly what you needed to counteract the light orange tones left behind in your hair. Beautifully done!! Cheers!
So you had good results using color oops and superior preference right after ? That’s what I have been considering using as my hair is auburn now and I want to go blonde again after three years with the auburn .
@@groberts80 Oh my...this was so long ago that I posted this reply to this gal's video! I wish I had written down all the things that I had tried and what the results where. I would have a gigantic reference notebook by now! I did have good results with Color Oops and the two brands for blondes that I mentioned have always been my go-to products. I use a different process now in 2022, but may need to start using those again to counteract the gold tones left behind as my hair gets more difficult to lift. (I have been to color specialists, and I never like their results, which always leads me back to my own trial-and-error experiments!) I don't know that I've helped you at all, but I do wish you lots of luck! Write your experiments down - I wish I had!! 😊
I went from bright red to a cool toned blonde at home using the Color Oops as well. That stuff is great! Thanks for sharing, you look beautiful with your blonde hair!
I dyed my hair red a month ago and I completely regret it!! I saw this video a few weeks back and I just finished the color oops. I’m in love with my results!!
I don't know why strawberry blonde is so maligned, imo it's a lovely colour! :) Oh, and the so-called "box dyes" are not bad at all per se, they contain precisely the same ingredients as the dyes used in a salon; it's just that people sometimes use them incorrectly, thus the bad rep, but if you know what you're doing, they are absolutely fine.
I'm not at all trying to be rude, but box dyes are very different from professional colors used at salons. The ingredients in box dyes are alot more harsh than those from salons. If you have a sallys beauty near you, you can get better quality dyes for almost half the price! :)
OMG why couldn't you have posted this 2 weeks ago? I literally tried to go from the same shade of red to a blonde like I used to have and it was hell. Two bleach jobs one color and two toning sessions. I ended up going to hairdresser and she messed it up even more. Your hair looks amazing though! I will use this for next time (I switch colors a lot! haha)
OMG this is perfect, I'm still in the process of removing all the red undertones from my hair and I started last year -.- I'm naturally blonde, but I was born with reddish hair, and my hair has naturally red undertones so it's quite a struggle to get them all out. You look lovely and your hair is awesome :D
Your hair looks amazing!!! You're such a cutie!!! This video was a lifesaver I had bleached hair that I put a purpleish red as well as a brown color in my hair and I bleached it not thinking the reddish purple was underneath from months ago and the re-bleaching obviously left it orange so I got the color oops and it pulled the red out to nearly platinum... then I toned it with a misty rose toner and I looooove it now (also idk if anyone else has heard this but doing a baking soda mix in your shampoo will help lift some harshness of a new color out as well) Also, I've been taking vitamins (biotin and vitamin d) to combat any damage another good tip I didn't know until I lurked around on the internet for a while, I coated my hair in raw organic coconut oil when I bleached it, I didn't know you could even do that but it made a WORLD of difference
I did this without the color oops because I didn't need it and when my hair was turning out exactly the color yours was before you put the dye on I was like yes!!!!! Thank you so much for this review I know it's an older video but I finally achieved my ash dark blonde. I love you so much thank you 💗
the platinum blonde box dye killed my hair and only got it orange so i suggest using super blonde it pulls me to yellow from almost black normal strength hair with little damage
Ive always wanted to dye my hair but I'm soooo scared. I've never done anything to it. Heck I don't even put heat to it. To all the women and men out there that do it. You are brave souls.
This was SOOO helpful! I have extremely thick, coarse, curly hair that I used drugstore products to dye purple a few months ago. The bleach came out SO uneven that after I finished the process and dyed it purple some parts were true purple, some parts were still completely brunette and some were ridiculously brassy bleach color. I was so stupid about it. Now I'm on the journey of trying to get my hair back to brunette without similar incident. Thank you for your help!
I went to a salon to get my red hair color removed and have a dark ash blonde color with highlights (my natural color is medium to light brown). Unfortunately she only removed the red to a light orange and dyed it over a medium/dark brown. Not as light as I wanted, and it wasn't going to cover the orange for long, so I waited a while and then gradually started dying my hair with medium ash blondes... surprisingly it worked, no traces of orange left and my hair is a very nice light brown :) I even did my own highlights, though I would still like to get highlights done this summer! I waited so long for this video haha so happy it's finally up! In terms of bleach, sadly my hair REALLY cannot be 100% bleached without stretchy pieces and breakage. and I have very thick hair, but it is quite dry. Luckily highlights are totally safe for me. :)
Hey:) First of all, I adore your current hair colour! I'd like to get same at home. Anyway, I got few questions. Basically, I wonder how u keep that colour such nice. After like a month, when it grows, do u bleach the roots and then dye it again? Doesnt colour after some time go lighter on rest of lenght? Do u have to dye all hair again? Do you use some special cosmetics to keep that cool shade of blonde?
I used the same combo to get platinum. (Color oops plus Platinum color box you used) I Love how the conditioner is in the box! I wish I could buy a bottle of it!
You guys should try biotin to keep your hair healthy :) I've been using it for a while and you wouldn't know I've dyed my hair before. I've tried a couple but my favorite one is the GNC women's hair skin and nails formula :)
Loved it. I would love to see a video on hot rollers. Or easy quick mom hair. Personally hot rollers are safest around a child when you are multitasking in a morning. Or no heat sleep curls.
hey just curious on what your hair type is? I know for me the best no heat like loose wavy curls is by taking a shower putting my hair, once it's slightly damp, into a bun by twirling it into a bun, and tying it with a SCRUNCHY. The scrunchy is the most important part because it won't pull tug or leave marks on you hair. you sleep on it or even keep it in for an hour and depending on how long you keep it in you hair will be either beautiful loose wavy curls or tighter curls. I hope this was helpful.
A hair care routine would be totally awesome! I've been growing my hair out for the past couple of years and am always look for ways to keep my hair in better shape!
Dead hair can not repair itself. Hair is dead cells. It does not repair. Also I love this video. I want to be blonde again. Also for me to go blonde it will cost like 350 dollars... i think doing it myself is cheaper
i did the worst thing ever. I was ignorant to the point of trying to blach my darkish dyed redhair thinking bleach could remove all the colours. well it only bleached my roots so now i look like an old lady with red hair and white roots D: i cant remove this shade of red immediatly so i'll have to paint it red again D: its funny but also sad xD help!
Okay I'm confused. so you used oops then the bleach just on your roots? why only your roots? and when you colored your hair blonde your hair was that yellow brassy color? sorry you were kinda all over the place there
I am a lover of color oops! I had dark red hair, color oopsed it, went over it with a Violet toned blonde hair dye, and then used a blue toner/protein filler with a deep conditioner. I am now a strawberry blonde (exactly what I wanted) and bleached a few streaks into my hair. I adore it and everyone else seems to as well. The red left over gives me a unique blonde. Going blonde doesn't always involve bleach!
The color oops does make your hair FEEL brittle and damaged, trust me, anyone reading this, it isn't! It's just your cuticles are opened. Give it a few days and a regular wash and it'll feel perfect as usual.
Anoher tip for getting rid of red, soak your hair in coconut oil overnight. Fades it a lot and it's good for your hair. I used the Ion color remover twice and it got rid of my red the day after I soaked it in coconut oil. Then I dyed it with medium ash blonde dye.
My hair was a light burgundy blonde red color and I bleached it nice today, but... after I bleached, I used dark ash blonde from Revlon color silk and now it has a gray/green tint to it. Any suggestions on fixing it? And you and your hair are gorgeous!
soooo cute!!!! I tried the feria platinum and omg I had no stinging on my scalp and it lifted my hair really well despite having med blonde dye over it honestly im so shocked that the Wella toner burned my scalp and this feria platinum with the bleaching powder did absolutely nothing to my scalp. im honestly shocked that my hair did not once turn gummy or fall out in chunks but that's my experience. I only experienced dryness while shampooing but I am an avid deep conditioner and its a 10 user and use no sulphates whatsoever. I always wanted to try out that champagne blond and it looks soo good!!! it looks like it toned better than I what I used: the t14.
Excellent choice for products and extra points for shade selection. L'Oreal Preference is THE BEST if you need good coverage and long-lasting, true-to-tone results.
I was looking on 'first time dying hair.' I'm a hair virgin and I want to be brave. You are so pretty and you look amazing!! I wish I looked like you ❤
I am naturally blonde but i painted my hair brown.. i had a green glow so i toned it with a redish brown😂 it looked pretty good... BUT i reaaaaaaly want my blonde hair back because my roots grow out so fast.. i am going to try this thankyouu for the tips😊
girl. I am sooooooo glad I found this video! Currently I am going blonde and just finished the process of color oops. But unfortunately I had blonde highlights in auburn colored hair and it was horrible, so I had the bright idea to bleach my hair with the lorreal extreme platinum yesterday, and my hair turned horrid. Color oops definitely saved my hair, now I’m sitting at the color you were at with color oops. Lorreal platinum definitely is in the books tomorrow or Monday! 3-4 day process but my hair is almost just like yours! Thankyou soooo much :)
I am also attempting to go from red to blonde. Can you please tell me why you bleach your roots after the color oops? Is this step necessary? Thanks! :)
This is definitely going to be helpful. I'm a natural medium blonde and I died my hair red back in November. I'm sticking with the red for now but not going to dye my new growth. I want to go back to blonde for the summer and was trying to do it without a salon trip.
I tried this thinking my hair was going to look the same because my hair was bleached blonde 3 years ago and did purple burgundy brown and magenta over it, and it ended up just being brown at the end of the process. Only works if you have bleached your hair recently under your color.
@@lolac3274 not well. It took 2 rounds of color oops and 2 rounds of lightening plus a box of ash blonde to get there. Luckily my hair didn't get super damaged. It did take me 4 weeks to get to blondr
So I did this exactly how she said and I ended up with a strawberry blonde. I don’t like it but maybe I didn’t remove the color good or something. I’ll dye it again tomorrow. Update: I redid it and used a purple shampoo to tone down the orange and reddish color. I used the shampoo twice and left it for 10 min. Each time. I then redid my hair with the color she suggested and I ended up with a honey color mixed with a light auburn color.
Hey girl, I know you did this video like eight years ago lol I am now recently a redhead trying to go to blonde, and yours is absolutely stunning and beautiful, so it is what I’m going to achieve. I do have one question though, my roots are gray, would you recommend Adding the bleach after you do the color oops onto my roots like you did in your video? I just wasn’t sure so I wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
Love the color of your hair. I have used the color oops myself and it worked pretty well. It smells Horrific though. My hair still smelled after washing it three times and putting leave in spray in it. I don't think I will ever use it again because of the smell.
Loeylane you hair is beautiful. You were just warning us-some comments can go in the ear and out the other! Your doin just fine sweetie and yes it looks georgous! 💖
I color my hair at home everytime and I too have control issues. I would rather mess up my color myself and fix it instead of have someone fry it and end up needing a pixie cut. Your blonde is exactly what I'm looking to do and my current color is a bit darker than your oops shade, I think. Do you use the purple shampoo to keep the blonde brighter and the brass away?
I’m trying to achieve a similar color. I’m wondering why you used the super bleach blonde color. Did you just do your roots? Why and how did you use that super bleach blonde then the darker ash blonde. I lost you a bit. I’ve done one oops color and now I’m waiting to do another round after my hair heals a little bit. I’m just confused about the bleach blonde you used. Why didn’t you just go to the ash blonde color right after color ooops. Just trying to learn
What about the links to the products you bought? Because I currently have burgundy hair right now. And I would like to know exactly where to buy those products and exactly what brand you used beczuse your results are fantastic!
Thank you so much for doing this video Loey! You are such a sweetheart and the fact that you are so cautious about what you say and care so much about your subbies speaks so highly of you. You're a beautiful person inside and out!
I did the exact same thing as you and same products but I started with dark brown. I bleached my hair twice and put over a blonde dye, it’s now orange-ish at the roots and the bottom half is ashy blonde, and I had to chop 6 inches off but I’m gonna work it 😹
I don’t know why hair dressers say that box dyes are bad for your hair, cause when I use box dye my hair feels amazing! More so ....when hair dresser uses there dye products, especially when they use bleach. Hair feels like straw. But if I use box dye bleaching kit, my hair feels way better and less damaging. I think box dyes have come a long way.
I think thats beacuse box dye have alot of oils :)
Same here!
Yup true
They only say it’s bad because it’s only 30 volume developer. Where as if you used not box color you can do less or more volume and have more control
Its the ammonia
I love doing my hair, because I'm held accountable to what happens to it. If I mess it up, then it's my fault - and I can't blame anyone else.
THIS^^^
Right?? Paid $300 once to take my already orangish blonde hair to a brighter orange and got dark maroon red 🙃 The hairdresser said it'd lighten, but it didn't. Just turned brown lmao
Man I'm going through that right now missed a spot while bleaching for and balayage now I have to hit up a dollar tree so I can blend
Exactly 💯 and ive never used color removal it's not necessary
I died my hair red in the summer. It was the BIGGEST mistake ever! My roots grew out really fast and when I Tried going back to blond it just turned orange.
Emily Harp SAME THATS HOW IT IS RN AND I HATE IT LOL
lauryn hedstrom same ive been trying to get rid of the orange tones in my hair for ages:(
YES BRO MY TURNED PINK AND THE BLEACH ISNT TAKING IT OUT I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY😀

Red is SUCH a difficult color to get out 😁😁
Red is VERY easy to get out, love.
Alex Kersley You are so incredibly wrong.
Amy Leroux No believe me, I went red before, it is very easy to get out
Red is the easiest colour to remove
It really depends on the shade and the product. Regular boxed reds are a peach. Hair stains like Manic Panic or NRage are really difficult.
I'm dying my hair using these products as we speak. I'm obsessed with your color 😍. I haven't touched my hair with heat or chemicals in a year so I'm super excited.
I'm a cosmetologist, and honestly if you can reach your accomplished look with box color do it.

Always goes orange/strawberry blonde but I just use a light ash blonde over it with anti orange dye/corrector by Schwarzkopf and I get all red tones out and have blonde hair. Color oops will tell you on the box that it doesn't work with colors like pink, blue, purple, green. Only permanent hair colors, not direct dyes. I used that to get my grey/silver color without bleaching my hair once 😏💁🏼👌🏼 color oops doesn't make my hair dry tho, but I always shampoo and condition afterwards anyways. Love the blonde you achieved 👍🏼😍
I used Joico color eraser to get that exact color out of my daughters hair. That and streaks of manic panic atomic turquoise. Now she has white/blonde hair. Not from the color remover, just the next color choice she went for.
I’ve been in a very bad place the last 2 years with depression my hair is half natural light brown and half box dye faded red I’m going to give this a try what a fresh summer blonde ❤
Thank you for this video . I used Color Oops , then bleached and my hair was a brassy mess . The L'oreal Paris Superior Preference in 8 1/2 A hair color was perfect . It got rid of the brassiness but didn't make my hair color really ashy . Thanks again .
oh... my.... god! SHE'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!😻
Girl!!! I had such a hard time getting my red out. I was forced to go back dark :( Glad for the tips though because I do want to go red again someday I miss it!!!
Yes! People don't understand that I don't like other people doing my hair! I like doing my own! Right now, it's a really light platinum but I'm going to dye it silver/gray soon.
My hair was destroyed by hair stylists at First Choice. I had to wear oil products in my hair everyday for a month to fix the dry, broken ends. I kept my hair in a high ponytail/bun. My hair just looked wet thank goodness; it helped me! It was either this or shaving my head, which is never an option!
Pink Cat high ponytails and buns are actually bad for your hair if you have that too often
You're literally so beautiful - Can't stop looking at your face when I should be looking at your hair lol, thank you for the hair tips!!
Beautiful! I have used Color Oops before, too, and have always used either L'Oreal Superior Preference or Garnier Nutrisse box blondes (I have a natural ash base). The 8.1/2 was exactly what you needed to counteract the light orange tones left behind in your hair. Beautifully done!! Cheers!
So you had good results using color oops and superior preference right after ? That’s what I have been considering using as my hair is auburn now and I want to go blonde again after three years with the auburn .
@@groberts80 Oh my...this was so long ago that I posted this reply to this gal's video! I wish I had written down all the things that I had tried and what the results where. I would have a gigantic reference notebook by now!
I did have good results with Color Oops and the two brands for blondes that I mentioned have always been my go-to products. I use a different process now in 2022, but may need to start using those again to counteract the gold tones left behind as my hair gets more difficult to lift. (I have been to color specialists, and I never like their results, which always leads me back to my own trial-and-error experiments!)
I don't know that I've helped you at all, but I do wish you lots of luck! Write your experiments down - I wish I had!! 😊
I went from bright red to a cool toned blonde at home using the Color Oops as well. That stuff is great! Thanks for sharing, you look beautiful with your blonde hair!
I had Arctic fox red and L’Oréal red hair color and You saved my hair! I am now back to blonde! Thank you 🙏🏼 💗
That’s the most beautiful blonde color ever. U look soooo...... I cant. I’m just speachless
I dyed my hair red a month ago and I completely regret it!! I saw this video a few weeks back and I just finished the color oops. I’m in love with my results!!
Did it! My hair turned up becoming a super pretty toasty blonde! Don't worry no orange or yellow ❤
I don't know why strawberry blonde is so maligned, imo it's a lovely colour! :)
Oh, and the so-called "box dyes" are not bad at all per se, they contain precisely the same ingredients as the dyes used in a salon; it's just that people sometimes use them incorrectly, thus the bad rep, but if you know what you're doing, they are absolutely fine.
I'm not at all trying to be rude, but box dyes are very different from professional colors used at salons. The ingredients in box dyes are alot more harsh than those from salons. If you have a sallys beauty near you, you can get better quality dyes for almost half the price! :)
+Annalee Couturier I find Sally's in the UK is very expensive. I live near a hair supply store which is significantly cheaper
florenna it aggravates me because my kids and I naturally have a color not far from what most call "disgusting orange." Pisses me off quite frankly🙅🏼
OMG why couldn't you have posted this 2 weeks ago? I literally tried to go from the same shade of red to a blonde like I used to have and it was hell. Two bleach jobs one color and two toning sessions. I ended up going to hairdresser and she messed it up even more. Your hair looks amazing though! I will use this for next time (I switch colors a lot! haha)
So glad it turned out well! (From a professional point.) You did very well! Good job girl! You're on the right track!
As in I think it looks excellent lol
OMG this is perfect, I'm still in the process of removing all the red undertones from my hair and I started last year -.- I'm naturally blonde, but I was born with reddish hair, and my hair has naturally red undertones so it's quite a struggle to get them all out. You look lovely and your hair is awesome :D
I'm new to her channel but she seems so nice and kind
Your hair looks amazing!!! You're such a cutie!!! This video was a lifesaver I had bleached hair that I put a purpleish red as well as a brown color in my hair and I bleached it not thinking the reddish purple was underneath from months ago and the re-bleaching obviously left it orange so I got the color oops and it pulled the red out to nearly platinum... then I toned it with a misty rose toner and I looooove it now (also idk if anyone else has heard this but doing a baking soda mix in your shampoo will help lift some harshness of a new color out as well)
Also, I've been taking vitamins (biotin and vitamin d) to combat any damage another good tip I didn't know until I lurked around on the internet for a while, I coated my hair in raw organic coconut oil when I bleached it, I didn't know you could even do that but it made a WORLD of difference
I did this without the color oops because I didn't need it and when my hair was turning out exactly the color yours was before you put the dye on I was like yes!!!!! Thank you so much for this review I know it's an older video but I finally achieved my ash dark blonde. I love you so much thank you 💗
Was your hair really dark??
the platinum blonde box dye killed my hair and only got it orange so i suggest using super blonde it pulls me to yellow from almost black normal strength hair with little damage
Ive always wanted to dye my hair but I'm soooo scared. I've never done anything to it. Heck I don't even put heat to it. To all the women and men out there that do it. You are brave souls.
This was SOOO helpful! I have extremely thick, coarse, curly hair that I used drugstore products to dye purple a few months ago. The bleach came out SO uneven that after I finished the process and dyed it purple some parts were true purple, some parts were still completely brunette and some were ridiculously brassy bleach color. I was so stupid about it. Now I'm on the journey of trying to get my hair back to brunette without similar incident. Thank you for your help!
Once again, I don't care what Loey has to say, I'm listening. Now to figure out how to win her heart... a man can dream, can't he?
I went to a salon to get my red hair color removed and have a dark ash blonde color with highlights (my natural color is medium to light brown). Unfortunately she only removed the red to a light orange and dyed it over a medium/dark brown. Not as light as I wanted, and it wasn't going to cover the orange for long, so I waited a while and then gradually started dying my hair with medium ash blondes... surprisingly it worked, no traces of orange left and my hair is a very nice light brown :) I even did my own highlights, though I would still like to get highlights done this summer! I waited so long for this video haha so happy it's finally up!
In terms of bleach, sadly my hair REALLY cannot be 100% bleached without stretchy pieces and breakage. and I have very thick hair, but it is quite dry. Luckily highlights are totally safe for me. :)
Hey:) First of all, I adore your current hair colour! I'd like to get same at home. Anyway, I got few questions. Basically, I wonder how u keep that colour such nice. After like a month, when it grows, do u bleach the roots and then dye it again? Doesnt colour after some time go lighter on rest of lenght? Do u have to dye all hair again? Do you use some special cosmetics to keep that cool shade of blonde?
I used the same combo to get platinum. (Color oops plus Platinum color box you used) I Love how the conditioner is in the box! I wish I could buy a bottle of it!
@@Jkstolz did she bleach only her roots or her whole hair ?
Great video... and wonderful disclaimer. I know that the drugstore stuff is better than Sally's... you are spot on..
You guys should try biotin to keep your hair healthy :) I've been using it for a while and you wouldn't know I've dyed my hair before. I've tried a couple but my favorite one is the GNC women's hair skin and nails formula :)
Loved it. I would love to see a video on hot rollers. Or easy quick mom hair. Personally hot rollers are safest around a child when you are multitasking in a morning. Or no heat sleep curls.
hey just curious on what your hair type is? I know for me the best no heat like loose wavy curls is by taking a shower putting my hair, once it's slightly damp, into a bun by twirling it into a bun, and tying it with a SCRUNCHY. The scrunchy is the most important part because it won't pull tug or leave marks on you hair. you sleep on it or even keep it in for an hour and depending on how long you keep it in you hair will be either beautiful loose wavy curls or tighter curls. I hope this was helpful.
A hair care routine would be totally awesome! I've been growing my hair out for the past couple of years and am always look for ways to keep my hair in better shape!
This is the best red to blonde video tutorial that I've seen. Thank you
Dead hair can not repair itself. Hair is dead cells. It does not repair. Also I love this video. I want to be blonde again. Also for me to go blonde it will cost like 350 dollars... i think doing it myself is cheaper
When I was heavier I had great hair like yours....I miss that. The color suits you well.
I love this blonde color! It looks great on you. Also, YES TO A HAIR CARE ROUTINE! :)
I would love a hair care video! My hair is pretty long, not as long as yours, but I just want to see how you keep it soft and pretty.
i did the worst thing ever. I was ignorant to the point of trying to blach my darkish dyed redhair thinking bleach could remove all the colours. well it only bleached my roots so now i look like an old lady with red hair and white roots D:
i cant remove this shade of red immediatly so i'll have to paint it red again D:
its funny but also sad xD
help!
Okay I'm confused. so you used oops then the bleach just on your roots? why only your roots? and when you colored your hair blonde your hair was that yellow brassy color? sorry you were kinda all over the place there
I am a lover of color oops! I had dark red hair, color oopsed it, went over it with a Violet toned blonde hair dye, and then used a blue toner/protein filler with a deep conditioner. I am now a strawberry blonde (exactly what I wanted) and bleached a few streaks into my hair. I adore it and everyone else seems to as well. The red left over gives me a unique blonde. Going blonde doesn't always involve bleach!
The color oops does make your hair FEEL brittle and damaged, trust me, anyone reading this, it isn't! It's just your cuticles are opened. Give it a few days and a regular wash and it'll feel perfect as usual.
ExhaleDreams where do you get the Color Oops from?!
Mine ended up Strawberry blond after the Oops and Feria Absolute Platinum. I'm debating bleaching again before I use the blonde Dye.
Anoher tip for getting rid of red, soak your hair in coconut oil overnight. Fades it a lot and it's good for your hair. I used the Ion color remover twice and it got rid of my red the day after I soaked it in coconut oil. Then I dyed it with medium ash blonde dye.
My hair was a light burgundy blonde red color and I bleached it nice today, but... after I bleached, I used dark ash blonde from Revlon color silk and now it has a gray/green tint to it. Any suggestions on fixing it? And you and your hair are gorgeous!
Try to use Color Oops
soooo cute!!!!
I tried the feria platinum and omg I had no stinging on my scalp and it lifted my hair really well despite having med blonde dye over it
honestly im so shocked that the Wella toner burned my scalp and this feria platinum with the bleaching powder did absolutely nothing to my scalp. im honestly shocked that my hair did not once turn gummy or fall out in chunks but that's my experience. I only experienced dryness while shampooing but I am an avid deep conditioner and its a 10 user and use no sulphates whatsoever.
I always wanted to try out that champagne blond and it looks soo good!!! it looks like it toned better than I what I used: the t14.
You are drop dead gorgeous and this is a SUPER helpful video! Bless you, girl!
Excellent choice for products and extra points for shade selection. L'Oreal Preference is THE BEST if you need good coverage and long-lasting, true-to-tone results.
I was looking on 'first time dying hair.' I'm a hair virgin and I want to be brave. You are so pretty and you look amazing!! I wish I looked like you ❤
I am naturally blonde but i painted my hair brown.. i had a green glow so i toned it with a redish brown😂 it looked pretty good... BUT i reaaaaaaly want my blonde hair back because my roots grow out so fast.. i am going to try this thankyouu for the tips😊
I love your makeup. The eyeshadow and the lipstick looks very nice, what color are those? Thanks!
Your hair looks great! I recently removed red from my hair and bleached it,unfortunately my hair got pretty damaged.
girl. I am sooooooo glad I found this video! Currently I am going blonde and just finished the process of color oops. But unfortunately I had blonde highlights in auburn colored hair and it was horrible, so I had the bright idea to bleach my hair with the lorreal extreme platinum yesterday, and my hair turned horrid. Color oops definitely saved my hair, now I’m sitting at the color you were at with color oops. Lorreal platinum definitely is in the books tomorrow or Monday! 3-4 day process but my hair is almost just like yours! Thankyou soooo much :)
I am also attempting to go from red to blonde. Can you please tell me why you bleach your roots after the color oops? Is this step necessary? Thanks! :)
This is definitely going to be helpful. I'm a natural medium blonde and I died my hair red back in November. I'm sticking with the red for now but not going to dye my new growth. I want to go back to blonde for the summer and was trying to do it without a salon trip.
I tried this thinking my hair was going to look the same because my hair was bleached blonde 3 years ago and did purple burgundy brown and magenta over it, and it ended up just being brown at the end of the process. Only works if you have bleached your hair recently under your color.
Yea! I was looking for this! I did color, oops, and its golden yellow so im going to just try the preference 8 1/2 ❤ Thank you so much for this bideo
u look like Adele :D
Patty Latty julia stiles in her thumbnail of her blonde hair, I thought
I did this how you did it. And my hair turned out great! I love it! Thank you for the suggestions!!
I did color oops tonight. And plan on doing it the way she did it too. Did you wait between steps? I'm nervous af
@@justinecase6513 how did it go?
@@lolac3274 not well. It took 2 rounds of color oops and 2 rounds of lightening plus a box of ash blonde to get there. Luckily my hair didn't get super damaged. It did take me 4 weeks to get to blondr
So I did this exactly how she said and I ended up with a strawberry blonde. I don’t like it but maybe I didn’t remove the color good or something. I’ll dye it again tomorrow.
Update: I redid it and used a purple shampoo to tone down the orange and reddish color. I used the shampoo twice and left it for 10 min. Each time. I then redid my hair with the color she suggested and I ended up with a honey color mixed with a light auburn color.
Hey girl, I know you did this video like eight years ago lol I am now recently a redhead trying to go to blonde, and yours is absolutely stunning and beautiful, so it is what I’m going to achieve. I do have one question though, my roots are gray, would you recommend Adding the bleach after you do the color oops onto my roots like you did in your video? I just wasn’t sure so I wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
Question: If you were going to bleach your hair anyway, why use color oops? I just bleached my red hair, and that was just fine;)
Omg! Im so glad i tried color oops, now i have the blonde i was looking for!
My hair is super thick like yours! I'm actually trying these steps but going to spread them out like you mentioned!
why did you bleach the roots before dying it blonde? do the roots have to be lightened first? thanks for the helpful video
Love the color of your hair. I have used the color oops myself and it worked pretty well. It smells Horrific though. My hair still smelled after washing it three times and putting leave in spray in it. I don't think I will ever use it again because of the smell.
you have the most gorgeous blonde ive ever seen
I agree! It's so natural looking and beautiful!
Your color is the exact one I'm honestly going for and I'm a strawberry blonde now thank you for advice
I have naturally dark red hair and want to go blonde. Could I just use the L'oreal Paris bleach by itself to achieve the same results??
I used a born blonde kit I forgot who makes it did good there was a bit of orange but they have toners and shampoo that can take care of it
In the process now of trying this.. did the platinum already. Next step is the Champagne blonde. So far it’s doing what I expected (:
Loeylane you hair is beautiful. You were just warning us-some comments can go in the ear and out the other! Your doin just fine sweetie and yes it looks georgous! 💖
I'm confused, did she strip her hair with the color oops and then bleach the roots?
I used henna dye. Will this product still work on henna dye? I'm desperate. I want to get back to my blonde hair.
So wait, did you use 1 box for each round? I have longer thicker hair like yours. Do I do 2 boxes for 1 round or 2 rounds?
I have natural red hair and I tried to dye my hair blonde (because I wanted blue) now I have orange hair.
I color my hair at home everytime and I too have control issues. I would rather mess up my color myself and fix it instead of have someone fry it and end up needing a pixie cut.
Your blonde is exactly what I'm looking to do and my current color is a bit darker than your oops shade, I think.
Do you use the purple shampoo to keep the blonde brighter and the brass away?
That absolute platinum is awesome!! Doesn't burn or smell either..
I’m trying to achieve a similar color. I’m wondering why you used the super bleach blonde color. Did you just do your roots? Why and how did you use that super bleach blonde then the darker ash blonde. I lost you a bit. I’ve done one oops color and now I’m waiting to do another round after my hair heals a little bit. I’m just confused about the bleach blonde you used. Why didn’t you just go to the ash blonde color right after color ooops. Just trying to learn
What about the links to the products you bought? Because I currently have burgundy hair right now. And I would like to know exactly where to buy those products and exactly what brand you used beczuse your results are fantastic!
Thank you so much for doing this video Loey! You are such a sweetheart and the fact that you are so cautious about what you say and care so much about your subbies speaks so highly of you. You're a beautiful person inside and out!
this video saved my life! Well, my hairs life anyway😂 thank you!
girl you look good as a blonde ! (: I used to have blonde hair but it did not look good at all on me lol
Love you the house i was not expecting you to pop up as i searched for bad hair ideas while I’m impulsive
Ok, this might have been said before but you remind me soo much of Carrie Underwood! She's beautiful too but yall favor soo much!
I did the exact same thing as you and same products but I started with dark brown. I bleached my hair twice and put over a blonde dye, it’s now orange-ish at the roots and the bottom half is ashy blonde, and I had to chop 6 inches off but I’m gonna work it 😹
Would have really loved to see step by step vids or pics. Your hair looks great!
