  • To clarify.. When I mean without bleaching, I mean without having to bleach your hair first and then having to dye your hair a brown colour. So this basically skips the bleaching step. Therefore it is without bleaching.

    hey guys!
    in this video im just showing you how i dyed my black hair brown!
    i have finally found the right dye to do this, i have brought so many dyes before and done a strand test on my hair and it would always turn out as black still.
    before you dye your hair it is recommended that you do a patch test 48 hours before you dye your hair
    _________________________
    the dye: L'Oreal Paris recital preference - 10.1 Helsinki very light ash blonde
    this good thing bout ash dyes, they don't have any orange or red tones to it so at the end result i know that my hair will not turn ginger!
    _________________________
    the box dye contains:
    - the colorant gel
    -developer creme
    -high shine conditioner
    -high shine elixir
    -gloves
    -instructions
    _________________________
    tips
    -before you dye your hair you need to wear a shirt which you don't mind getting dirty because the dye will stain your clothing!
    - it is also helpful if you dye your hair with unwashed greasy hair because this helps the dye stick on better
    - a week before dying your hair, use a deep conditioner: this will help prep your hair with the damage of the dye
    - it is important that when you are dying your hair that you don't have any product residue on it (e.g. hairspray/mouse): the product residue will act as a dye barrier and it will not dye those parts of your hair with the product on it, this will leave your hair patchy!
    -on your hair line: put Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on it because this is the part of your skin where the dye is easily stainable and the Vaseline is waterproof which helps the dye come off easier
    -don't wear any jewellery as the dye will damage it
    _________________________
    the process:
    1. mix the colourant gel and the developer creme and the high shine elixir together
    2. section out hair so that it is easier for you to distribute the product evenly
    3.add dye to hair starting from the roots
    4.do this to the rest of your hair
    5.add the leftover dye to your hair and massage it thoroughly
    6.wrap a plastic bag or a shower cap around your hair and wait for the recommended 30 minutes
    wrapping/covering your hair with a plastic bag will trap the heat from your head as dye works best with heat, also it also helps the dye from not drying out. once the dye is dried out the dying process stops working
    FAQ
    Was my hair virgin black?
    my natural hair colour is black. the hair colour you see in the start of the video is my natural hair colour. however months before this video i tried dying my hair with a brown dye and nothing happened. there was no colour change at all. so technically my hair in this video is not 100% virgin black. But since that was months before filming this video, my roots are virgin black hair.
    Is the dye permanent?
    Yes! but i have seen fading in the colour.
    How many boxes did you use?
    i used 2 boxes, but i didn't use all of the dye in the second bottle.
    How long does it last?
    It's permenant, but it does fade. i cant remember when i started to see fading but if you wish to see the process of my hair colour you can see the videos that i did after this video which shows you my hair colour and the way its faded.
    i have not changed my hair colour till today so you can even see my latest video and see what the hair colour looks now, but you will also see my roots growing out as well.. ahhhhh
    You look like mulan
    (AHAHAHAH) i know.
    thanks for watching!

    I don't see anyone talking about if it works or not so here i will. It did work for me. I had jet black hair like hers and it went to a medium brown. I have colored my hair before but cut it all off and regret it so I don't know if that makes a differance. I was not able to get her exact dye but I got loreal paris superior preference 8A ash blonde cooler. ( I believe hers is only available in the UK ?) but that's my experience. It worked for me. Hope it helps someone out.

    a regular blonde dye will turn your hair ginger. typically, the majority of dyes called light ash blonde will work. the ash tones will cancel out the brassy colours.

    Thanks for the video. I have virgin black, Asian hair, but the ends of my hair are a coppery brown balayage color. I live in the US and couldn't find the exact color you used, but I found light ash blonde from L'Oréal from the same product line. I have thick hair, but it's half as long as your hair. I used one bottle of dye, and it turned out great! I left my hair dye on a little longer by 10 minutes and achieved the same results. the color is similar to how yours turned out. No bleaching or expensive salon visit. Just a box of dye that was $8.

    dye works differently on everyone's hair, like for my mum.. dye shows up more vibrant and with more of a difference compared to my hair. so it really depends on how easily your hair will react with the dye. if your really unsure then you can always try doing a strand test with the dye and see what colour it will turn out to be like instead of dyeing your whole hair to find out the result of the colour :)

    Color doesn't lift color. If you hair is DYED black then you have to use a color remover or bleach. Trust me. I have dyed my hair black many times and bought the best lightening kits out there and it was still orange. Just 3 days ago I went to a hair stylist to get it lightened to brown and we tried it without bleach and got no results. We had to bleach it to strip it. The only way this will work is if your hair is virgin (no artificial colors on it at all)

    omg I can't wait to try this, I've basically damaged my poor hair from trying to go back to my natural brunette color. I've dyed my hair red for about two years now and wanted a change, so I decided to use Color Oops by Loreal to strip the hair dye (It worked, but then my hair came out black since the Color Oops-ified hair absorbs dark colors quickly), then a few week later, did the same thing, but chose the lightest brown possible and it still came out black. So hopefully, this should work by just going over my blackish hair with a blonde.

    So my natural hair colour is black and I want to go a dark brown colour (3 ish). The thing is I've already dyed my hair to a light brown colour in a 2-step process - bleached it and then dyed it to a very light/ praline brown colour.
    After a month I dyed it a dark brown (3) colour and while it was meant to be permanent, it slowly faded within two months. Now I am still stuck with my light/praline brown hair.
    Any explanations as to why it faded (despite being "permanant" hair dye), and any tips on how to make sure it stays dark brown this time? Thanks a million !!!

I used it a long time ago and I liked it, I don't use it anymore cause I go cruelty free now though. Just drench your hair in coconut oil before dying it cause it is probably a higher developer (more damaging) than others because it needs to lift more. Your hair should be fine afterwards, and if you have enough to drench your hair it will go evenly enough. Start back bottom to front cause the back is harder to take color, tip to root because the root takes faster b/c of the heat on your head.

      If you have dyed it black (not a virgin hair) then you will have to lighten your hair with bleach. My natural hair is black and once I had brown hair, dyed it black and then wanted to go back to brown. Bought 3+ box dyes and my hair was still black. I finally bleached it and then I could dye over it with brown.

    For anyone who wants to know how to do this but doesn’t live in the UK(they don’t make the hair dye in the US), I did this with L’Oreal Preference 9.5A lightest ash brown hair dye and it worked. My hair is black and about medium hair length. I didn’t use a full bottle because I was timid, but it definitely worked and I love how it turned out!

    I am a licensed hairdresser and the amount of incorrect information shared in the comments and the misleading hair tutorial makes me cringe. First I want to say that the sweet girl in this video was able to achieve the color she wanted and it looks fine...but using this method will not work for everyone especially those who have color on their hair already. The amount of ammonia in the color used in this video will not remove artificial color from a previous haircolor. For that you must use a color stripper or bleach. Please go to a licensed cosmetologist for help in regards to your hair. Or if you have a concern feel free to reply to this comment.

    • @Biancahuntwhitten
      @Biancahuntwhitten 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You can purchase a color stripper. There's one called colorfix by one n' only that you can find at sallys for under $15 i believe. I have used this on my own hair and it successfully removed the black dye. I would be cautious though since you said youve colored

    • @Biancahuntwhitten
      @Biancahuntwhitten 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Your hair several times already. Do a strand test on a small section on the back of your hair to be sure the color remover doesnt have an adverse effect with the box dyes on your hair. The process can be repeated 2-3 times but it will leave your hair in a coppery stage so be prepared to use another color to cover it up. For that i would recommend going to a professional to make sure you get the color you want. Box dyes always seemed to go way darker on me when i used them years ago... Hope that helps. Good luck

  • @NishRich
    @NishRich 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So...... no blondes have any warm/brassy tones in them. The red/orange is underlying pigment in your hair that it must go thru to get blonde. Ash tones have either a green or blue base that helps cancel out those red/orange tones. Only commenting bc getting an ash blonde DOES NOT guarantee that your hair won't be brassy. It just means that if it gets light enough, the ash will aid in cancelling out warmer tones.

It worked!! Now I colored it back to medium brown. Don't keep covering it up with more color. Do the remover. Then choose the color you want. Good luck!

    • @starseed787
      @starseed787 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So your hair is black now (again)? When I removed the black from my hair with Color Fix it went back to the light brown it was. Then I colored it again with a medium brown and it stayed. You really need to REMOVE that color coating your hair. Is there a Sallys Beauty Supply near you? Go there and ask them what to do, they can see you. I can't. You should either do a different remover, Sallys has a gentle one by One and Only w/Argan Oil. It works well. Then get a LIGHTER brown than dark brown such as medium etc. Or take a huge risk and lighten your hair with a dark blonde. But I strongly suggest going to Sallys. Good Luck;-)

    Ingenious idea to lighte black hair with a very light blonde dye, athough even the box advised againts it. :) But one major thing - one should NEVER use a plastic bag/cap with chemical dyes, it can actually be really dangerous (no venting for scalp etc.)!! Those dyes are not actually designed to be used that way - no way does the dye dry out and stop working! (With herbal dyes like henna that actually *does* happen, but they're a different matter entirely.)

    Okay having greasy hair does not help the dye stick to you hair. If you put oil with oil you get oil, if anything it makes the dye harder to stick to you hair because you hair follicle is clogged up with grease.
