Craig I just got back to platinum from a year of copper and you tempt me like this 😂 I love the CR line with G, that 7CR + 7G is my absolute fave. And with a little baby 5C shadow root…. 🤌🏻 Stuff like this is invaluable to me though, love all your swatch and formula vids!
Great video! Just wondering, if you didn't have CB in your collection what shades would you use to make it or something very similar? To create a medium - darker copper brown level 6
Hi Craig… oooh absolutely Copperlicious 🙌 the 5 was fab as was the peachy one.. your just like a colour cocktailing magician 🪄.. I’m so used to Wella and in my ‘ comfort zone’ and have said it before but really should dip in my toes and perhaps start with the swatches.. I’m thinking safer😜 if you know what I mean 😬😆 anyway thank you as always for your superb content and the no doubt countless hours of editing 😫.. but ALWAYS very much appreciated 🙌😘X
Hello Mr D! Agreed…although I can never choose a fave, I’d forgotten how much I love copper hair. Thank you, so kind as always. Hmmmm, I don’t think comfort zones are bad, familiarity can make us better colourists at the end of the day. I think you’d like SEQG, it is very different to Color Touch but def worth some swatching. You are most welcome, just 8 hours of creation this week, ha. Thanks again for watching, it’s so brill to have you following along X 👨🏻🍁😘
@@theworldofcraig only 8 hours😳😬… you need to get these on⛸⛸😝… oh honestly I don’t know how you have the patience 😆 but honestly Tuesdays are ‘ Highlight’ 😉 of my week… good ehh😂 thanks again Craig 😘X
You’re most welcome, thanks for watching. If you wanted an exact replica of the colours in the video, yes, the canvas would have to be at least a level 9…but the deeper formulas would give some “reflect” on a level 5/6/7.
Thank you for this video! Do you have any pictures or videos links of some of these formula's on client's hair with the (7cr+7G swatch) or (7c+10gi swatch) or (8c=+8gg+6rb swatch) by any chance? Loving the vibarant orange-ginger-copper 🤩
Hi there, thanks for watching! I make so much content it’s hard to pinpoint where those results would be - perhaps have a look on my Instagram, which is always linked all over on here…
Thank you! Not necessarily - my swatches were white before colouring, you just have to take the tone/level of the hair you’re using them on into account. I use the very light swatches to show the underlying tone of the formula.
Hi at 5:28 when you show all the colours on screen the third one in is listed as 7CR + 7G… however a few minutes before it was 9CR + 7G I’m confused on which formula it is now any help would be great! Xx
Hi, thankyou for your video! love the peach+7c so pretty. What would you recommend to colour regrowth(I'm a level 7/8 with 30% grey) to try get close to match this light peach colour without bleaching the roots?Thankyou D
Hi, you’re most welcome, thanks for watching. I’m afraid it’s impossible for me to give specific formula advice remotely, there’s just too much to it. If you’re as light as you say you are it shouldn’t be to tricky - you would need a level 8 with a little warm gold in it.
Thank you for this! If you don't mind me asking, I recently got my hair permanently dyed copper with 25 vol - and I'm a bit confused about how I should maintain my lengths and roots. Would you recommend touching up only the roots with permanent color and then doing shades eq or a semi dye on the lengths and roots? Or if I'm touching up the roots do I always need to use the same permanent dye on my lengths just with a lower volume or time? Thank you so much!! :)
You’re most welcome, thanks for watching. You’re on the right track…great question! I would refresh the root with permanent - then use a demi/gloss on the mids/ends….they don’t need as much “energy” and repeated applications of permanent colour will make them fade faster etc etc. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨
@@theworldofcraig Thank you so much!! That totally makes sense, I'm just a bit nervous about the roots turning out a different color than the ends if I'm using two different dyes. Do you have any advice? :)
@@veganetc8276If you’re only adding a little tone to the ends to refresh them they won’t be a different colour. If you’re concerned, refresh the root…then get a copper colour conditioner for the ends - rinse/shampoo the root, then apply the conditioner to refresh the rest.
After scrolling through time I can’t get back from TikTok I decided to search TH-cam for a copper shades EQ formulation that someone was not gatekeeping with clickbate of perfectly copper tresses blowing with the help of a fan. Thank you for eloquently explaining these show stopping colors. I favor and will try the last one❤
Question, if you are starting with level 8 copper hair, what color would you recommend to go brown from there? For a root shadow, would you just leave it on longer processing time at the roots and shorter for the lengths and ends, or use two different formulas?
That’s a big question, it depends on so many factors and colour is so subjective… If you want to neutralise the copper you need a formula with blue in it, as it’s the opposite…but how much depends on how copper the hair is and the result you want…? My toning videos (there’s a playlist) might be helpful…
@theworldofcraig Thanks, I've been binge watching your toner videos. The copper is equal parts of gold and red, not too dark, about a level 8. What's wanted is a light to medium brown with plenty of warmth, letting that copper shine through.
Hi Craig ! I just had a full head bleach (excluding roots) last Saturday (4th November), I use box dyes eg manic panic, how long would you reccomend I wait before applying ? thanks
Hi there. Ooo, how fabulous! Let’s not call direct dyes “box dyes”…we love a direct dye. You should be good to go - if there’s no other demi permanent on your hair already…? Thanks for watching. 👨🏻🙏🏻🍁
@@theworldofcraigshould be nothing else on, i got a toner when they bleached it but that should be gone by now, ill give it a go tomorrow and see how it goes 😊
I have been having a difficult time hitting just the right shade. One is too light the other too dark. I have some excellent inspiration ohotos but I just can’t seem to hit it quit right, Any suggestions. I have a photo but can’t post it here.
It’s impossible for me to give out custom formulas remotely, (please don’t send images on other platforms) as there is so much to it. I do have several videos in a playlist all about selecting toners and another all about hair colour theory that might help.
Hi there. It’s impossible for me to give out specific formulas without seeing you hair and knowing what kind of result you want - that said, a mix of 8C/9AA is always pretty….just be aware if the “canvas” is light any of the above shades (except the N) will be bright copper.
hello, i have a question hoping you can answer.. how do you refresh shades eq after 4 weeks? first time i did level 7C with 7CC for 20 mins root to tip on dry virgin hair processed at room temp. i worry if i pull this same formula again after 4 weeks, it will cause banding and / or it to darken to a level 6! can i re-tone over the mids and ends with the same level as original? or do i need to formulate one level lighter ? can i do it on dry hair again for full 20? thanks!
Hi there, thanks for watching. It’s hard for me to be specific without seeing your hair in person to be honest, there are so many factors. It would be extremely unusual for SEQG to leave a “band” - I’ve never experienced this and I’ve used it on clients for 25 years. There is a chance it could go a little deeper but it’s really a case of if you think the colour has left the hair enough to warrant another application or not…?
My stylist used 9AA on my natural red hair, to cover my greys...(maybe up to 25%)? I tried it at home and it did not cover? I just want to stain my greys so they look like a natural highlight.....i keep reading that i need an "N" in my formula.....but none of the N's look right to me....any suggestions? Thank you!

My favorite formula is 7nch,7cc and a cap of 6gi. It came out a GORGEOUS auburn.

Very helpful information. I'm still working on a formula for a wig. I will get back to you when I figure out what I'm doing.😊😊

Great video! Just wondering, if you didn't have CB in your collection what shades would you use to make it or something very similar? To create a medium - darker copper brown level 6
Thank you! And thanks for the great question.
So you could try 6G + 5C 2:1 - and if you wanted a little more depth, add a little 6NB to the mix.
