This was a great video I am 3 months in dark blonde in 60s Cannot afford Jack Martin do not want damage At one time mark should I do highlights with grey toner? Should I do lowlights? Thx Deborah
@@deborahpaddison6770 yes a highlight and then toned to silver is a great way to transition from blonde to silver. If you have areas that are solid white have your stylist do back to back fold in that area. And you don't need the Jack Martin all over, it's great for some but there are lots of other options less expensive and less damage.
My transition w dark hair took about 3 years as of this month it was a long hard process however however ....Dark hair has the most beautiful grey when you are finished just something you have to experience when your dark hair lady....
Hang in there I promise it's worth it! Being free of coloring my hair even as a hairstylist is one of my best decisions! Please feel free to contact me for any help, I have a FB page Julie The Hairapist if you want to send me pics I can help you with your transition.
This was such good information! You explain things so clearly. I have been researching this as I am in the process of transitioning. Thanks for these great ideas!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and informative video. I just found your channel and have subscribed. I give a lot of credit to those who have the patience for the transition to grey. I haven't dyed my hair in about 8 weeks. Soon as I will be going to get a short pixie cut as I haven't any patience. LOL. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed your video!
@DEBRA HOLLAND thank you for watching my super amateur videos and your support. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
@@juliethehairapist Thank you for your offer of advice at the moment I am watching all of your videos and trying to decide the best way to go. I have a circle of grey on the top of my head. I had been colouring just the parting ash brown to spread out and disguise the skunk line. But I hate the read tones in the coloured part when my hair is ash brown and has cool tones. I tried using purple conditioner which tones the brassiness down a little. I wonder if I should use Titanium toner instead. I bought some semi permanent electric blue dye but then chickened out of using that as it is pretty "out there" for me.
It took me 18 months and it was the best thing I ever did. Love it!!! I have highlight streaks like you do. I just wore my hair in a pony tail the whole time. It wasnt hard at all. For me anyway.
I hope so! Loving whats coming in but its not even. Am exactly 1 year on the journey. Hair to my waist. Know I need a cut but don't want to go short pixie.
@@l.a.patterson7370 my suggestion would be to cut it to your shoulders or a bit past the shoulder. It will make the journey faster and not look so out of proportion. The color has to be cut off eventually. :)
Awesome video with numerous solutions to transition to gray. I no longer fear trying the direct dyes that don’t have ammonia, peroxide or developers. I was afraid to use them because I thought they would damage my gray/white outgrowth. Now I have options! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your hair looks great.
Thank you so much for this video, so lucky I found you, I’m at the beginning of my gray hair journey and feel excited and scared at the same time, so far I don’t like what I see in the mirror, but I have to be strong because I feel very strongly about this, and seeing you with that absolutely beautiful hair gives me hope to carry on, found this video so helpful, can’t wait to watch the others, you already answered some of the questions and doubts I had. Thank you so much silver sister❤
I can promise you what ever is underneath the artificial color is BEAUTIFUL and it doesn’t have to be a horrible process growing it out. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better options for how to get through the transition juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos!
Wow, you hair is absolutely beautiful ! I grown out my greys, but I thought I looked old. I have dyed my hair again, but now I have to dye it every three weeks. I think I am going to let it grow, dye it darkbrown (my natural colour) and let the grey grow out ´the secret way´. I think that will suite me.
Thank you for your kind words I truly appreciate it. I'm a newbie to this TH-cam stuff but I love teaching people about their hair. So it's taking me some time to learn but I'm slowly figuring it out. Please feel free to contact me for any help.
Thankyou I am researching this "greying thing " (I'm still in denial but love how healthy silver hair looks) this video has by far been the best advise I've seen. Thank you for posting such a great video 🤗
First time I watch someone who really knows how to let grays grow naturally. Thanks so much. Your hair looks amazing. My hair is dark brown with some silver, white, mix specially next to ears also some on top. I haven’t color hair for almost one year still is taking a long time but I choose to stop dying my hair. i don’t want short hair ( hair still short) so cutting it is out. I will keep watching you and learn how to take care of hair growing not a soft as before . You really know about going gray. I just suscribe. 👍😊
@alicia savino Thank you so much for your kind words and watching my super amateur videos. I can absolutely promise you will love your natural color and I am happy to help you with your new hair. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
Thank you for this video! I have been watching several and I think this is the best. I have been. Coloring, highlighting, low-lighting, even used sun in for over 40 years. My grow out is a silver to translucent shade. My hair is very very fine, and thinning on top, but thicker in the back. Scalp does not tan. So this has been a concern for me. It is time, so maybe my hair and skin tone will match better. Thank you again. Now when I go in I will have a better understanding as to her recommendations.
Thank you for the tips on direct dye. I'm 11 weeks in with black hair. I'm embracing what God is doing and honestly this is the best time to do it because I'm really not seeing anyone. I'm nursing faculty, and our lectures are virtual, but at this point I really stopped caring about any criticism I may receive. My daughter is getting married in October, however. That's my biggest concern-- there will be pictures!! Blending the grey with spray or the direct dyed may really be my best option for that. Thanks for that ideas!
I LOVE the mix of dark and grey! I've let my hair grow out twice - once in my 50s and once when I became 60. As my skin aged, the grey (I have a aluminum grey) made me look VERY washed out. I'm 63 as of yesterday and want to go back to leaving it gray. I'm trying to figure out ways to brighten my look as the grey grows in. Thank you for this.
@Gobsmacked I completely understand not liking your natural color, after it’s all grown out you can easily still color but use temporary color not permanent. Permanent color causes the line of demarcation, temporary color will wash out and is easier to apply. Another solution is the money piece only, sometimes just brightness around our face is all we need. If you send me pics of your hair I can send you some links for color and pics. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️juliethehairapist@gmail.com
@@juliethehairapist Ty Julie. I thought I would love my long silver hair but I don't. It is too WHITE in front and salt/ pepper in back. Can I use a dark silver direct dye in front? My natural dark is a level 4. I wish I was more pepper in front OR like an aluminum silver but it is Barbara Bush white!
@@lf9341 yes but darker silvers will have mor blue so when it fades you will have a pale blue color. Which will still be beautiful. If you email me I can send you a pic of my hair with a pale blue color. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Hi Julie! Thank you for your channel and giving me the knowledge needed for my transition to silver. I’m 9 months in. I really like all your videos especially the Getting Started talking about our life’s purpose. Thank you for all of it. I saw my hairstylist back in July 2021, for silver highlights to transition my hair to it’s natural brown and silver. She wanted to use volume 40 bleach and I know you say 20, so we compromised at 30. She was pretty much not on board every step of the way, unfortunately. She started at the 1-2 inch outgrowth like I asked. When I left I had silver highlights and honestly it was almost too much for me to see that much silver in my hair. A few days later it turned a yellow blond and that’s where it’s been ever since. I started using a purple shampoo a week after my silver highlights and I don’t know if it’s doing anything. It might be helping to keep the blond light in color. I was hoping it would bring some of the blond back to silver or very light blond. That didn’t happen. I’m overdue for a haircut, and I’m wondering, do I ask the new stylist to put toner on the existing blond hair? Does she have to bleach it again first? If we do toner or bleach+toner, I’m going to get very light blond, not silver, starting at the line of demarcation, not at my roots. I’m nine months into my transition and have long hair. My natural color is only about 50 percent silver, so the money piece is lighter than my natural color. I’ve been meaning to reach out for months. Thank you in advance for your wisdom! I wasn’t sure if I should write to your Gmail, post here or on your Facebook page.
I’ve decided to transition back to my grey that emerged at 21! The demarcation line is the the bit that worries me being dark haired and dying for 5 years. If grey had been in fashion 5 years ago and all the products that existed now, were available back then, I would never have dyed it.
So true it's the young kids making their hair silver that woke me up I could wear mine. Hang in there I promise it's worth it and if you need help along the way please feel free to contact me.
Transitioning has been pretty tough especially with dark hair ( I’m 4 months in) I’m so close to giving in sometimes and just color my hair...thank you so much for your advice!
Robin, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need some help with your stylist. There's also a lot you can do yourself, I'm working on those videos as well.
Hi, thanks for this video, gave me some hope...Ive been searching for ways to embrace my grey as I believe Im already about 70% grey if not more... turning 45 this year... anyhow about a year ago I decided to start colouing with an 28 day wash out hair dye as the permanent dye started to irritare my sculp as well, Im was colouring darkbrown using box dyes🙄. However with the 28 day hair dye my ends in a lot darker than my top hair so almost like a reverse ombre😮 but I did not realize that the " wash out" dye is kind of permanent, I thought that if I stick it out for about a year or 2 I could just leave it and wash it out! O boy seems like I was wrong cause I joined a fb page for going gray and some hairdressers on there said that the 28 day hair dyes is almost the same as the permanent and it still sticks to you hair.... so that Idea just went down the drain and all that time waisted... thus I started searching again and stumble on you video as I was thinking my besr option was either grey blending as they call it or highlights as I know it. So I quess my question is, would it be ok if I do the grey highlights over the darkbrown year long 28 day wash out box dye😢 or should I maybe do like a colour oops or colour correction on it and hope that colour does come out a bit and does not stick? And then do something with it? My natural hair colour is a brown, bit dark but not dark brown. Thanks
@marischeepers424 First let me explain the difference between a true temporary color vs permanent. Any hair color that has a developer AKA peroxide is permanent. Most colors that are labeled “semi-permanent” are permanent because they use peroxide. Peroxide is what leaves the line of demarcation. Hair color that does not have a developer and is a what you see is what you get color is temporary and will wash off after several washes. Manufacturers many times will label temporary color as semi-permanent. Good news, even though you still have artificial color on your hair it’s much lighter than the old color which will make it easy to lighten if/when you highlight. In addition it will be easy to see your natural pattern for your transition highlight. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you more specific advice for a transition highlight. Thanks for watching my super amateur videos. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Thank you and yes we all have different silvers but I promise you will love yours. If you send me a pic of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com I can give you a better idea of what your hair will look like in the end.
Such a great video! I've also "Tried" several times. I get to month 4 and hate it... but, my hair is thinning and so dry! Do most people find the new growth is healthier and hair growth is better?
Yes especially if you're coloring much darker than you're naturally. Hair color has a physical weight, the darker the color the more it weighs down the hair. When it's all your hair color you will have shinier, brighter and healthier hair. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Julie, I have finally decided to transition to gray. Your hair is beautiful and I am ready to embrace what God has blessed me with. My only challenge is I hennaed my hair for >12 years and I understand it's going to be a long road. I currently have henna build up from the many years of using it. Do you have any suggestions?
@mjgamer123 Yes, henna cannot be removed from the hair so highlighting is not an option. But covering up your outgrowth with temporary color until it all grows out is a great solution. Send me pics of your hair and I can help you choose a color and thanks for watching my super amateur videos❤️ juliethehairapist@gmail.com
I can absolutely do a video on solid white with low lights. Another great option is using a black or dark grey colored hair spray. After your hair is styled, spray the colored hair spray on your hair at the scalp only and it will create depth at the scalp. You will instantly not feel so light all over. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos.❤️
Thank you so much for the video. Your hair is beautiful!! I transitioned to my natural gray hair about six years ago, but I have been using fun semi permanent hair color like overtone, or manic panic for a couple of years now. Do you know of a fast way to get the dye off of your hair rather than waiting for it to finally wash off?? I thank you so much for any advice
Yes a couple things I do so it won't last so long. I will put it on wet hair Not leave it on very long (5 min) Wash with dish soap and baking soda. Make sure to scrub your hair not your scalp and shampoo again after you do this to get all the mixture out.
Julie The Hairapist thanks so much!! Ah yes! I’ve been putting in on dry hair!!! I will put it on wet hair next time. I like having my natural color, but every once in a while I like to change things up a bit! 💖
I am looking forward to your instructions on highlighting that top area. I have been doing my roots to a level 8 using Wella ColorCharm 8N/811 from Sallys. I have decided to let my silver/white etc grow in. I don't want the demarcation line. I have been coloring my hair for 48 yrs! 😬 so ready to go natural! Can you give the right products to use from Sallys? New subscriber here! Thanks so much for this info!! Greatly appreciated!!! 🤠
This is the best transition video I have seen! Your hair is beautiful! Do you have a salon? Where is it? I am wondering if you are near to me, I am in Michigan.
Thank you so much for your kind words it truly helps me know I'm on the right path. I'm retired because your hands only work for so long.😬 But I'm happy to help with advice for your transition.
Hi Julie, have to say first this is excellent video, I am so happy I find. I have question. I have dyed black hair, and my hair is very thin/fine by genetics, so bleaching is not an option for me, but 90% of my roots are gray. What is best option to transition to gray and not have that crazy demarcation line? I was thinking just putting lots of silver/gray tiny highlights just on the top of my head, where I part my hair, and maybe around my face. I appreciate your time Julie. Thank you so so much. ❤️
@Meri S I can absolutely help you and have an easy solution. I would use temporary color at the new growth only and only where you can see the line of demarcation. Yes you still have to color but it will completely wash off so as it grows out you can just color when it bugs you. Temporary color is easier to apply and you can even use it on your dry styled hair to just camouflage what can be seen. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
@@lf9341 yes but because black has a lot of blue you might need to add some orange or a warm brown. When you put these colors on a white paper towel you can see the true color. I have found that most blacks have too much blue for our white hair. I just add a little warm brown or orange and then test the color on the paper towel and adjust if necessary.
Great video Julie! Thank you! I’m 8 months in, and not sure how I can break up the line of demarcation or what to ask my stylist for. I used to get blonde highlights and low lights. My colored hair just looks yellow and my natural hair color is light brown with silver. I’m hoping you can help me 😊 thank you for any suggestions you may have!
Julie I've been watching your channel endlessly...I'm in Colorado. My stylist can't handle this...do you know of a stylist in Colorado?I'll drive or fly for great hair✌💖😇
Unfortunately I don't know anyone in Colorado, I'm in Moutain House, CA about 45 from San Francisco if you can't find anyone in Colorado. Thank you for watching ♥️
Does your flat iron process discolor your gray hair at all? I'm afraid of going through the process and then ruining the beautiful gray. Your hair is so beautiful!
Thank you so much. My highlights are blonde . That means I only need to toner gray? My big gray strikes are on the middle of my head . Four weeks I don’t color my hair . But the routes are very orange. What do I have to do ? You’re amazing . Great explanation.
Thank you so much for your kind words! You you can tone anything yellow to silver buy it will not get rid of orange. You said you have a lot of orange is that natural or artificial?
Hello. Thank you so much for your reply. I love your channel . My orange is artificial. When I tried to color blonde my natural routs( my natural hair is dark brown with gray ) they turned orange .
@@heloisativeron3952 The silver toner will not fix the orange from the color you put on. I'm new at this TH-cam stuff but I need to see a pic of your hair to give you a better direction. Do you have Facebook? We can message directly with pics.
Julie The Hairapist you’re a sweet heart . What a kind heart you have . Yes I do have FB my name there is Heloisa Tiveron. My whole name is Heloisa Tiveron Juliano , but there I only use Heloisa Tiveron . It is a big name . There is 2 with my name . My and my auntie . Mine my hair is very light and long . She has dark here on her picture. Again , thank you so much. Happy 4th of July .
Your hair is beautiful! Do you think Arctic Fox Semi-Permanent Hair Color would work for transitioning grey hair too? They say only works on bleached hair.
Yes/No are you wanting to use it on your white hair and you don't have any artificial hair color? If yes, then Artic Fox will show on the white hair if using the bright colors, it will be bright at first and then continue to wash off. The reason for the directions call for bleached hair is because there is no developer for direct dyes they're like food coloring so they will not show on any shade of brown that's why you would need the bleach to lighten the hair not necessarily need bleach. That being said Artic Fox comes with a small package of bleach and developer don't use that just use the color.
Julie. I have bangs but want to do the money piece. I don't have much grey but I am ready to quit coloring. My bangs are mostly brown. Thank you for any advice on doing the money piece.
If you don't have dominant streaks then a sparkly pattern will brighten your bangs and hide the line of demarcation. Please feel free to send me pics and I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Also, I'm a brunette with years of box color now fading and growing out. No coloring since December so 5 months. With these direct colors. Do I put them all through hair?
I have very similar hair to you but I have dark brown hair at my ear line what do I do to bring it to similar color I’m ,sick of being three toned.I don’t want to cut it that short.
You don't have to cut your hair and I even have a video that I don't recommend cutting your hair unless you like short hair. Can you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com and I can give you better advice.
I can't seem to find the answer to this: after bleaching do I need to wait until my hair is dry to put the direct dye silver on or do I put it on damp hair?
I completely understand my videos are super amateur! The answer is both, if you’re applying it to your bleached blonde hair I recommend putting it on wet hair the first time. If the bleach has gotten your hair too porous, the color will appear a little purple. If that happens one shampoo will take that out. If you’re applying it to your bleached hair, but it’s no longer fresh bleach and not too porous, then I recommend applying to dry hair, so the silver will last longer. If you’re using the fun colors, you can apply to wet, so it washes off quicker or to dry for it to last longer. Please feel free to reach out to me for any help along the way. Thank you for watching my super immature videos.❤️
I’m doubtful of letting my gray out because of my skin’s undertone that is warm/yellow I’m afraid the gray would make me look dull, any suggestions? My hair is more like salt and peeper not totally white, but I never wear gray on my clothes because it doesn’t suit me 😕
Love this question, I can absolutely promise your natural will look great. The problem is the transition because as humans we're naturally visual and only see the two tones fighting each other and can't see the outcome. Also if after you've achieved your natural color and it isn't as bright as you would like, I would do the money piece and still tone to silver. It will look natural and you would only need to do it maybe twice a year.
I have become allergic to hair dye. But I have all white grown out from roots, probably 3 inches. Would it be safe to highlight since it wouldn't be touching my scalp. Just need a little help with this, I am only 3 months in. White on top and brown on bottom
Hi Diana, my scalp is sensitive to hair dye as well after many years of touching up root growth. Just wondering what you chose to do in the end as I was considering using foils to break up the solid grey/white regrowth on top and temple area of my hair. I hope you are happy with the decision you chose.
Underneath the medium/light brown dye on my shoulder length hair, I'm all grey. I'm 66 and I've been coloring my own hair for years. I'm sick of root touch-ups. This weekend I'm removing the brown dye with Color Fix (I used it years ago to remove dye build up). I don't now what color I'll end up with or how much, if any, grey will be revealed, but I'll determine where to go next after I see the results. Perhaps I'll buy a silver direct dye.
The color remover will not lighten your hair enough for a silver toner. But if your new growth is a lot lighter than what you have been coloring than any lightness will help with your transition. You will more than likely want to tone after the color remover because it will leave you in a warm tone. Please feel free to contact me for any help juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
@@juliethehairapist Hi Julie. Two rounds with the color remover took me down to a very light brown or dark blonde with orange tones (aka light auburn). I'm off to get some blue shampoo to see if that will eliminate the warm tone. Overall I am very pleased to get the darkness out of my hair. Now I'm going to let it grow out natural grey.
@@stormet54 send me a pic and I can send you some links for toners. Blue shampoo will help but more than likely it will not be enough. But I love that you can see any lightness helps. ❤
Be a colorist but like 1st grade mixing water colors. To make brownyou need, 3 parts yellow + 2 parts red + 1 blue = brown. I would add some orange because that's what will lighten the black and easier than mixing yellow and red. You can use any brand and mix a little black with a pinch of orange and then paint on a white paper towel, that is your color. Still too dark add a little more orange, too light add more black. But again paint to see the color you never have to guess on the color. Remember that you are going on your natural (white hair) so the color will be a highlight of the color.
Any tips for DIY highlights? Any kits you recommend? I always hear dark hair doesn’t highlight well. I have box dyed brown/black hair. If it doesn’t lighten all the way, can I just cover with fun colored direct dyes like red? Will that blend well with my gray roots? I have 3 months of grow out.
Hi Nancy, watch my How bleach works video. I explain why stylist are not successful when lightening hair. There are several things that must happen or the hair will not lighten correctly. In the description I have links for all the products but it's fine to use other brands. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the juliethehairapist@gmail.com. th-cam.com/video/ntaivoYXnSs/w-d-xo.html
We all need the same color no matter what we are coming out of. As long as you attempt to match what is coming in, a highlight toned to silver will instantly blend your transition. When I transitioned I only put a highlight in the front even though all of my hair was a warm brown. Those streaks in the front matched what was coming in so it was all I needed. You will need a solid highlight off the part. That means you will have back to back slices with no hair dropped out in between the foils to create a solid lightness off the part. They have to get the hair to light yellow and then tone to silver. The reason for using the foil and not bleaching your whole head is, that's how we can insure getting your hair light enough, the foil insulates the hair and assists in the lifting. If you want to send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com I can give you better advice. ❤
My dyed hair is just like the piece you held up, lots of red tones. My natural hair coming in, is more salt than pepper but the pepper has virtually no red tones at all. Is that what happens commonly? I did buy some color corrector and a demipermanent chrome color. Too scared to try them though!
The biggest thing we battle is our natural is cool and our artificial color is warm. But if you just lighten the front or the donut area you will blend the color. It's no perfect but it's enough. Can you send me pics of your hair and what color you bought and I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
@@juliethehairapist I'll try to figure out how to send you a picture of my hair. The demipermanent color is Ion from Sally. I don't remember the brand of the corrector but it was also from Sally and has peroxide in it. The boxes are at home and I'm at work right now
Hi Julie, I am 6 months in, not much grey, all underneath, rest dark blonde I am thinking about getting Balayage to help grey and dark blonde blond better and help brighten my face as I feel it looks mousy. I liwould like to have my bangs highlighted in some way to add dimension brighten Do not think color conditioner will work or overtone, no bleaching for me or short haircut What are your thoughts??? I really do not want to go the highlights lowlights route Thank you Deborah
Hi Deborah, Balayage is a great way to transition because it's a highlight that puts more lightness on the ends than at the scalp. That being said all a highlight in the band or Balayage requires bleach. Bleach is not bad for the hair when used correctly. But you may not need a highlight sometimes you can't see what is really coming in. If you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email jjjcozzo@gmail.com I can give you better advice.
I have box colored my hair black for over 20 years and now I want to grow out my gray. How does stripping the black out work for the stylist? Will they have a difficult time?
Yes/No if you have someone with skills yes but unfortunately my industry is very under trained because it's not required. If you watch the why you can't get your hair light enough I explain there are several reasons why stylists are not successful when they lighten hair. If they don't understand the science it won't get lightened enough. The good news black and silver are beautiful together. Please feel free to send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com and I can give you better advice.
I'm transitioning from dying red for about the last 10 years. The dyed part has faded so much, it's not really bothering me right now; but I can't tell what it's going to look like when I'm all grey and whether I'll like it. I'm also trying to grow my hair because I don't want gray AND short. I just don't. I have about 2.5 inches growth right now, so I'm afraid that when it's about half and half, it's really going to bother me.
@Madmarsha It definitely takes at least a year to see our true color and two years for longer hair. I don’t ever recommend cutting unless you like short hair. Because you were a redhead you can easily color with temporary color. This will camouflage what’s happening and when it’s all grown out, you can just stop coloring. If you send me pics of your hair, I can give you better advice and show you examples. julirthehairapist@gmail.com
Is there a list of the products you mentioned? I stoped dying my hair about 6+ months ago. I am dark brunette with white/silver hair growing in sporadically with a wide white streak on one side of my face. My hair line is a salt/pepper look for about 4 inches. Any suggestions?
Hi Julia, I would put a silver highlight around your face and tone the highlight to silver. If you have any solid white areas you can do back to back foils to match what your hair looks like. If you want to send me pics you can message me through Facebook Julie The Hairapist.
Julie The Hairapist Thank you so much! My big aversion to hair dye now is the chemicals involved. Plus I swim (when the pools were open) and the chlorine was very harsh on my hair, even with a swimming cap. I was interested in the “direct dye” method you mentioned in your video. Can you tell me which products or type of product to use for what you are suggesting, the highlighting and foil method? Thank you.
@@juliad2564 1st your swimming, Make sure you get your hair wet with good water before you enter the pool. Our hair is like a sponge if it's dry it's going to absorb a lot of chlorine but if it's already full of water it can't absorb much chlorine. When you condition your hair make sure you squeeze all the water out of your hair just like a sponge before you apply the conditioner to your ends. The direct dyes that I use are Pravana, Pulp Riot and Matrix. Direct dyes are all those wild colors that you see the young kids wear, blue, red, yellow, etc. and any brand will work . Some brands have more color selection than others is really the major difference.
@@juliad2564 yes! Seriously I've even seen these colors in Walmart and Target. Be your own colorist by mixing the colors to match your artificial color when you need to camouflage or put the blue, green, etc. colors on to color your grey but it will wash out.
Yes you can get these at Sally's and you will apply to your new growth only if you're are trying to camouflage the outgrowth. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Also I will look at Sally's and send you a link of similar products.
Yes/no it doesn't matter your ethnicity if you have a lot of hair this absolutely is a big challenge. But not everyone with "black" hair has a ton of hair and the money piece would be a great suggestion for people with a lot of hair because it's only in the front. I would recommend you flat iron the hair you want to lighten first. I'm going to be filming my clients highlight in two weeks she is black and I will give you more tips on her service. Another great thing about your hair type is it lightens easier and faster than straight hair. Please feel free to contact me for any help, I have been doing "black" hair for 25 years. I love my curly girls!♥️
Here’s one from Sally’s, IroIro is the brand and Silver is the color. www.sallybeauty.com/hair-color/shop-by-type/semi-permanent-hair-color/premium-natural-semi-permanent-hair-color/IROIRO1.html?_gl=1*191oaxn*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwnqK1BhBvEiwAi7o0XyW0Fkwf7VQbuN7aSYrljvpa0JQwxHf9loNOEIxIOkJ3mkg73CL0qBoC4C8QAvD_BwE
Hi! I lost your email you sent me. I have questions! I bleached some pieces and it was mostly orange. The few spots that were pale came out good w silver hair dye. I need help correcting and my roots are orange! Please help:)
My husband thought it would make me look older but now he realizes it's a different color not an age. I still do all my same beauty routines but he couldn't see it until I was finished.
@@juliethehairapist oh thank u so much for replying.im 35. First time i dyed my hair wen 16 n since then on n off im dying them.my hairs r almost 50% grey now.they turned grey wen i was 20.im fedup i want a chang.im brown n natural color is dark brown.
@@farishaf349 You're going to love your natural color I promise. If the line of demarcation starts to bother you either jabber your stylist put a highlight in the front especially where you have any streaks and tone it to a silver color. You can also do this yourself but one highlight is all you need and you don't ever need another highlight.
I can absolutely help, first it doesn't matter what color your hair is if you have frizzy hair you must use a round or flat iron for your hair to look good. 2nd if you send me pics of your hair I can give you advice for you or a stylist to camouflage your line of demarcation.
Is there any way to use a rinse to combat the red in my dark brown dyed hair?I’m at the five month mark and the old dye is turning very red but I’m afraid to put anything else on my hair that could be permanent and take me back to the beginning. Thank you
Yes you can put a level 6 Ash/blue direct dye. If you can't get a direct dye you can use permanent color but water down the developer to make 3 volume. Example if you have 20 vol use a splash of 20 to 1 oz of water. Apply to previously colored hair only.
@@stephanief4630 hair color has a number system 1 is black 10 platinum blonde. You need 6 ash I found a color at (www.sallybeauty.com/hair/hair-color/permanent-hair-color/permanent-creme-hair-color/ION87.html) Sallys if you don't have access to that any brand of color as long as it says 6 ash will be fine. Purchase 10 volume Peroxide if they have it, if not get 20 volume and a color brush. Mix equal parts color to peroxide, (1 oz Color to 1 oz of Peroxide). Using 1/4 inch partings apply from the line of demarcation to the ends but leave the color off the last 2 to 3 inches (do not put on your naturally colored hair). After you have applied to all of your hair but not the ends, then apply to the ends. The ends of the hair are more porous and will take the color darker if you put the color on right away. Process for 15 min and wash and condition. Dilute Peroxide with water to make 3 Volume peroxide. It's not critical on the measuring. Splash of peroxide and the rest water to make the 1 oz of peroxide. Also if you don't have red in the back or underneath you don't have to put the color there either, just where you need it. And you still have another oz of color left so if you need more or missed a spot just mix up more. But you can mix less as long as it's equal parts.
I'm sorry....but there is a bugger in your left nose hole...thats all I could see...but your hair is so different and beautiful....be happpppyyyyyy !!!!!
Thank you so much! It's actually not a bugger, it's the lighting showing the inside of my nose because the camera is too low. This is one of my first videos and I hadn't learned to shoot down yet. But as I said in my first video I'm not trying to make money off of you or TH-cam my intentions are to help. So my videos may not be perfect because that's not my intention.
As someone said best transition gray video. My hair is completely dark brown in the back and bride of Frankenstein in the front. I will try the direct dyes. Thank you for this great video!

This was a great video
I am 3 months in dark blonde in 60s
Cannot afford Jack Martin do not want damage
At one time mark should I do highlights with grey toner?
Should I do lowlights?
Thx
Deborah
@@deborahpaddison6770 yes a highlight and then toned to silver is a great way to transition from blonde to silver. If you have areas that are solid white have your stylist do back to back fold in that area. And you don't need the Jack Martin all over, it's great for some but there are lots of other options less expensive and less damage.
Thx Julie🌻
Julie what do you mean by back to back fold? Deb
That black streak is super cool! Thank you so much for all of your knowledge and wisdom
Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
My transition w dark hair took about 3 years as of this month it was a long hard process however however ....Dark hair has the most beautiful grey when you are finished just something you have to experience when your dark hair lady....
Great job informing us, h
Ha Ha I am 7 months in and I feel a little like a calico cat. Thank you for this video:-)
Hang in there I promise it's worth it! Being free of coloring my hair even as a hairstylist is one of my best decisions! Please feel free to contact me for any help, I have a FB page Julie The Hairapist if you want to send me pics I can help you with your transition.
This was such good information! You explain things so clearly. I have been researching this as I am in the process of transitioning. Thanks for these great ideas!
Thanks for the information. 19 weeks since my last dye. I love the way it’s growing.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and informative video. I just found your channel and have subscribed. I give a lot of credit to those who have the patience for the transition to grey. I haven't dyed my hair in about 8 weeks. Soon as I will be going to get a short pixie cut as I haven't any patience. LOL. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed your video!
LOVE your sincere passion for sharing your expertise... Thank You, Julie!
Thank you!❤
Your hair is beautiful
Thank you
I’m 10 months in and almost gave up today. But seeing your hair has encouraged me again

@@juliethehairapist Thank you for your offer of advice at the moment I am watching all of your videos and trying to decide the best way to go. I have a circle of grey on the top of my head. I had been colouring just the parting ash brown to spread out and disguise the skunk line. But I hate the read tones in the coloured part when my hair is ash brown and has cool tones. I tried using purple conditioner which tones the brassiness down a little. I wonder if I should use Titanium toner instead. I bought some semi permanent electric blue dye but then chickened out of using that as it is pretty "out there" for me.
Julie this is an excellent video. I’ve learned a lot from what you say x
Thank you for your support!❤
It took me 18 months and it was the best thing I ever did. Love it!!! I have highlight streaks like you do. I just wore my hair in a pony tail the whole time. It wasnt hard at all. For me anyway.
Doing the same but tired of ponytail all the time.
@@l.a.patterson7370 it will be worth it. :)
I hope so! Loving whats coming in but its not even. Am exactly 1 year on the journey. Hair to my waist. Know I need a cut but don't want to go short pixie.
@@l.a.patterson7370 my suggestion would be to cut it to your shoulders or a bit past the shoulder. It will make the journey faster and not look so out of proportion. The color has to be cut off eventually. :)
@@RoseSharon7777 I don't agree. It will happen- don't cut it!!
HI finally ! after 7 trys.I'm loving my sparkel rootes :) you were a big help thanks :) connie

Thanks sweetie..great video 👍😊
I love your explanations, there are very helpful
Thank you for your support ❤
Awesome video with numerous solutions to transition to gray. I no longer fear trying the direct dyes that don’t have ammonia, peroxide or developers. I was afraid to use them because I thought they would damage my gray/white outgrowth. Now I have options! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your hair looks great.
You're welcome, I'm going to do purple next and I'll video so you can watch how it starts out but then gets lighter and lighter until it washe out.
TH-cam taught me so much!!! Thanks Julie!
Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video, so lucky I found you, I’m at the beginning of my gray hair journey and feel excited and scared at the same time, so far I don’t like what I see in the mirror, but I have to be strong because I feel very strongly about this, and seeing you with that absolutely beautiful hair gives me hope to carry on, found this video so helpful, can’t wait to watch the others, you already answered some of the questions and doubts I had. Thank you so much silver sister❤
I can promise you what ever is underneath the artificial color is BEAUTIFUL and it doesn’t have to be a horrible process growing it out.

Wow, you hair is absolutely beautiful ! I grown out my greys, but I thought I looked old. I have dyed my hair again, but now I have to dye it every three weeks. I think I am going to let it grow, dye it darkbrown (my natural colour) and let the grey grow out ´the secret way´. I think that will suite me.
New subbie here! So glad I found your channel. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for your kind words I truly appreciate it. I'm a newbie to this TH-cam stuff but I love teaching people about their hair. So it's taking me some time to learn but I'm slowly figuring it out. Please feel free to contact me for any help.

First time I watch someone who really knows how to let grays grow naturally. Thanks so much. Your hair looks amazing. My hair is dark brown with some silver, white, mix specially next to ears also some on top. I haven’t color hair for almost one year still is taking a long time but I choose to stop dying my hair. i don’t want short hair ( hair still short) so cutting it is out. I will keep watching you and learn how to take care of hair growing not a soft as before . You really know about going gray. I just suscribe. 👍😊

Very good video, thanks
Thank you! Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way.
Thank you for this video! I have been watching several and I think this is the best. I have been. Coloring, highlighting, low-lighting, even used sun in for over 40 years. My grow out is a silver to translucent shade. My hair is very very fine, and thinning on top, but thicker in the back. Scalp does not tan. So this has been a concern for me. It is time, so maybe my hair and skin tone will match better.
Thank you again. Now when I go in I will have a better understanding as to her recommendations.
Thank you for your support!♥️
Thank you for the tips on direct dye. I'm 11 weeks in with black hair. I'm embracing what God is doing and honestly this is the best time to do it because I'm really not seeing anyone. I'm nursing faculty, and our lectures are virtual, but at this point I really stopped caring about any criticism I may receive. My daughter is getting married in October, however. That's my biggest concern-- there will be pictures!! Blending the grey with spray or the direct dyed may really be my best option for that. Thanks for that ideas!
You can absolutely camouflage the outgrowth. Please feel free to contact me for help.
So helpful!
Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️
I LOVE the mix of dark and grey! I've let my hair grow out twice - once in my 50s and once when I became 60. As my skin aged, the grey (I have a aluminum grey) made me look VERY washed out. I'm 63 as of yesterday and want to go back to leaving it gray. I'm trying to figure out ways to brighten my look as the grey grows in. Thank you for this.
@Gobsmacked I completely understand not liking your natural color, after it’s all grown out you can easily still color but use temporary color not permanent. Permanent color causes the line of demarcation, temporary color will wash out and is easier to apply. Another solution is the money piece only, sometimes just brightness around our face is all we need. If you send me pics of your hair I can send you some links for color and pics. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos ❤️juliethehairapist@gmail.com
@@juliethehairapist you are so sweet! I will send a pic to you. Any advice you can give me would be welcomed! Happy New Year 💜
@@juliethehairapist Ty Julie. I thought I would love my long silver hair but I don't. It is too WHITE in front and salt/ pepper in back. Can I use a dark silver direct dye in front? My natural dark is a level 4. I wish I was more pepper in front OR like an aluminum silver but it is Barbara Bush white!
@@lf9341 yes but darker silvers will have mor blue so when it fades you will have a pale blue color. Which will still be beautiful. If you email me I can send you a pic of my hair with a pale blue color. juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Hi Julie!
Thank you for your channel and giving me the knowledge needed for my transition to silver. I’m 9 months in. I really like all your videos especially the Getting Started talking about our life’s purpose. Thank you for all of it.
I saw my hairstylist back in July 2021, for silver highlights to transition my hair to it’s natural brown and silver. She wanted to use volume 40 bleach and I know you say 20, so we compromised at 30. She was pretty much not on board every step of the way, unfortunately. She started at the 1-2 inch outgrowth like I asked. When I left I had silver highlights and honestly it was almost too much for me to see that much silver in my hair. A few days later it turned a yellow blond and that’s where it’s been ever since. I started using a purple shampoo a week after my silver highlights and I don’t know if it’s doing anything. It might be helping to keep the blond light in color. I was hoping it would bring some of the blond back to silver or very light blond. That didn’t happen.
I’m overdue for a haircut, and I’m wondering, do I ask the new stylist to put toner on the existing blond hair? Does she have to bleach it again first? If we do toner or bleach+toner, I’m going to get very light blond, not silver, starting at the line of demarcation, not at my roots. I’m nine months into my transition and have long hair. My natural color is only about 50 percent silver, so the money piece is lighter than my natural color.
I’ve been meaning to reach out for months. Thank you in advance for your wisdom! I wasn’t sure if I should write to your Gmail, post here or on your Facebook page.
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for such an informative video. The best and most helpful I have seen.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I truly appreciate it.
I’ve decided to transition back to my grey that emerged at 21! The demarcation line is the the bit that worries me being dark haired and dying for 5 years. If grey had been in fashion 5 years ago and all the products that existed now, were available back then, I would never have dyed it.
So true it's the young kids making their hair silver that woke me up I could wear mine. Hang in there I promise it's worth it and if you need help along the way please feel free to contact me.
Hiya Julie girl. You have explained so very beautiful. To each of us too.
Thank you so much for your support!❤
Transitioning has been pretty tough especially with dark hair ( I’m 4 months in) I’m so close to giving in sometimes and just color my hair...thank you so much for your advice!
Robin, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need some help with your stylist. There's also a lot you can do yourself, I'm working on those videos as well.
Your hair is gorgeous.
Thank you and thanks for watching my super amateur videos ❤
Im transitioning and I love it My hair is so much healthier and thicker now where as before it kept breaking off and getting thinner from the dye
.
Congratulations on being free from color ❤️
Hi Julie. My hair is all white now and I want some dark lowlights. Can you give a tutorial on that? I love your hair !!
It's beautiful
Thank you for watching my super amateur videos.❤️
Hi, thanks for this video, gave me some hope...Ive been searching for ways to embrace my grey as I believe Im already about 70% grey if not more... turning 45 this year... anyhow about a year ago I decided to start colouing with an 28 day wash out hair dye as the permanent dye started to irritare my sculp as well, Im was colouring darkbrown using box dyes🙄. However with the 28 day hair dye my ends in a lot darker than my top hair so almost like a reverse ombre😮 but I did not realize that the " wash out" dye is kind of permanent, I thought that if I stick it out for about a year or 2 I could just leave it and wash it out! O boy seems like I was wrong cause I joined a fb page for going gray and some hairdressers on there said that the 28 day hair dyes is almost the same as the permanent and it still sticks to you hair.... so that Idea just went down the drain and all that time waisted... thus I started searching again and stumble on you video as I was thinking my besr option was either grey blending as they call it or highlights as I know it. So I quess my question is, would it be ok if I do the grey highlights over the darkbrown year long 28 day wash out box dye😢 or should I maybe do like a colour oops or colour correction on it and hope that colour does come out a bit and does not stick? And then do something with it? My natural hair colour is a brown, bit dark but not dark brown. Thanks
@marischeepers424 First let me explain the difference between a true temporary color vs permanent. Any hair color that has a developer AKA peroxide is permanent. Most colors that are labeled “semi-permanent” are permanent because they use peroxide. Peroxide is what leaves the line of demarcation. Hair color that does not have a developer and is a what you see is what you get color is temporary and will wash off after several washes. Manufacturers many times will label temporary color as semi-permanent.
Good news, even though you still have artificial color on your hair it’s much lighter than the old color which will make it easy to lighten if/when you highlight. In addition it will be easy to see your natural pattern for your transition highlight.
If you send me pics of your hair I can give you more specific advice for a transition highlight. Thanks for watching my super amateur videos. juliethehairapist@gmail.com

If I was guaranteed my hair would come out beautiful shade like this, I would stop coloring.
Thank you and yes we all have different silvers but I promise you will love yours. If you send me a pic of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com I can give you a better idea of what your hair will look like in the end.
You don't know if you don't try
Such a great video! I've also "Tried" several times. I get to month 4 and hate it... but, my hair is thinning and so dry! Do most people find the new growth is healthier and hair growth is better?
Yes especially if you're coloring much darker than you're naturally. Hair color has a physical weight, the darker the color the more it weighs down the hair. When it's all your hair color you will have shinier, brighter and healthier hair. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Julie, I have finally decided to transition to gray. Your hair is beautiful and I am ready to embrace what God has blessed me with. My only challenge is I hennaed my hair for >12 years and I understand it's going to be a long road. I currently have henna build up from the many years of using it. Do you have any suggestions?
@mjgamer123 Yes, henna cannot be removed from the hair so highlighting is not an option. But covering up your outgrowth with temporary color until it all grows out is a great solution. Send me pics of your hair and I can help you choose a color and thanks for watching my super amateur videos❤️ juliethehairapist@gmail.com
Great videos…going from red to gray…luckily I have short hair. Thanks.
Thank you for watching my super amateur videos!❤️
Hi Julie. My hair is all white now and I want some dark lowlights. Can you give a tutorial on that? I love your color 👍🏼👍🏼
I can absolutely do a video on solid white with low lights. Another great option is using a black or dark grey colored hair spray. After your hair is styled, spray the colored hair spray on your hair at the scalp only and it will create depth at the scalp. You will instantly not feel so light all over. Thank you for watching my super amateur videos.❤️
Thank you.! 💜I’ll try that any suggestions on what brand to get and where?
Thank you so much for the video. Your hair is beautiful!! I transitioned to my natural gray hair about six years ago, but I have been using fun semi permanent hair color like overtone, or manic panic for a couple of years now. Do you know of a fast way to get the dye off of your hair rather than waiting for it to finally wash off?? I thank you so much for any advice
Yes a couple things I do so it won't last so long.
I will put it on wet hair
Not leave it on very long (5 min)
Wash with dish soap and baking soda. Make sure to scrub your hair not your scalp and shampoo again after you do this to get all the mixture out.
Julie The Hairapist thanks so much!! Ah yes! I’ve been putting in on dry hair!!! I will put it on wet hair next time. I like having my natural color, but every once in a while I like to change things up a bit! 💖
I am looking forward to your instructions on highlighting that top area. I have been doing my roots to a level 8 using Wella ColorCharm 8N/811 from Sallys. I have decided to let my silver/white etc grow in. I don't want the demarcation line. I have been coloring my hair for 48 yrs! 😬 so ready to go natural!

I can definitely help you and because you have been coloring a lighter color you will love it.

I was about to ask where she was as well. Hey Michigan I’m in Florida . Julie love your hair. Month one for me 😀😀
Hi Julie, have to say first this is excellent video, I am so happy I find. I have question. I have dyed black hair, and my hair is very thin/fine by genetics, so bleaching is not an option for me, but 90% of my roots are gray. What is best option to transition to gray and not have that crazy demarcation line? I was thinking just putting lots of silver/gray tiny highlights just on the top of my head, where I part my hair, and maybe around my face.
I appreciate your time Julie. Thank you so so much. ❤️
@Meri S I can absolutely help you and have an easy solution. I would use temporary color at the new growth only and only where you can see the line of demarcation. Yes you still have to color but it will completely wash off so as it grows out you can just color when it bugs you. Temporary color is easier to apply and you can even use it on your dry styled hair to just camouflage what can be seen. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
@@juliethehairapist Would person above use black temp color?
@@lf9341 yes but because black has a lot of blue you might need to add some orange or a warm brown. When you put these colors on a white paper towel you can see the true color. I have found that most blacks have too much blue for our white hair. I just add a little warm brown or orange and then test the color on the paper towel and adjust if necessary.
Great video Julie! Thank you! I’m 8 months in, and not sure how I can break up the line of demarcation or what to ask my stylist for. I used to get blonde highlights and low lights. My colored hair just looks yellow and my natural hair color is light brown with silver. I’m hoping you can help me 😊 thank you for any suggestions you may have!

Does your flat iron process discolor your gray hair at all? I'm afraid of going through the process and then ruining the beautiful gray. Your hair is so beautiful!
I flat iron daily and have no damage or yellow. I do keep my flat iron clean by wiping it every time I use it.
Thank you for watching. ♥️
Thank you so much. My highlights are blonde . That means I only need to toner gray? My big gray strikes are on the middle of my head . Four weeks I don’t color my hair . But the routes are very orange. What do I have to do ?
You’re amazing . Great explanation.
Thank you so much for your kind words! You you can tone anything yellow to silver buy it will not get rid of orange. You said you have a lot of orange is that natural or artificial?
Hello. Thank you so much for your reply. I love your channel .
My orange is artificial. When I tried to color blonde my natural routs( my natural hair is dark brown with gray ) they turned orange .
@@heloisativeron3952 The silver toner will not fix the orange from the color you put on. I'm new at this TH-cam stuff but I need to see a pic of your hair to give you a better direction. Do you have Facebook? We can message directly with pics.

Your hair is beautiful! Do you think Arctic Fox Semi-Permanent Hair Color would work for transitioning grey hair too? They say only works on bleached hair.
Yes/No are you wanting to use it on your white hair and you don't have any artificial hair color? If yes, then Artic Fox will show on the white hair if using the bright colors, it will be bright at first and then continue to wash off. The reason for the directions call for bleached hair is because there is no developer for direct dyes they're like food coloring so they will not show on any shade of brown that's why you would need the bleach to lighten the hair not necessarily need bleach. That being said Artic Fox comes with a small package of bleach and developer don't use that just use the color.
@@juliethehairapist you're so kind! Thanks for anwering!
Julie. I have bangs but want to do the money piece. I don't have much grey but I am ready to quit coloring. My bangs are mostly brown. Thank you for any advice on doing the money piece.
If you don't have dominant streaks then a sparkly pattern will brighten your bangs and hide the line of demarcation. Please feel free to send me pics and I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
Also, I'm a brunette with years of box color now fading and growing out. No coloring since December so 5 months. With these direct colors. Do I put them all through hair?
New growth only when using direct dyes to camouflage.
I have very similar hair to you but I have dark brown hair at my ear line what do I do to bring it to similar color I’m ,sick of being three toned.I don’t want to cut it that short.
You don't have to cut your hair and I even have a video that I don't recommend cutting your hair unless you like short hair. Can you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com and I can give you better advice.
I can't seem to find the answer to this: after bleaching do I need to wait until my hair is dry to put the direct dye silver on or do I put it on damp hair?
I completely understand my videos are super amateur! The answer is both, if you’re applying it to your bleached blonde hair I recommend putting it on wet hair the first time. If the bleach has gotten your hair too porous, the color will appear a little purple. If that happens one shampoo will take that out. If you’re applying it to your bleached hair, but it’s no longer fresh bleach and not too porous, then I recommend applying to dry hair, so the silver will last longer. If you’re using the fun colors, you can apply to wet, so it washes off quicker or to dry for it to last longer. Please feel free to reach out to me for any help along the way. Thank you for watching my super immature videos.❤️
What brand is your favorite to use for silver toner?
Pravana Vivids Silver but not smokey silver.
I’m doubtful of letting my gray out because of my skin’s undertone that is warm/yellow I’m afraid the gray would make me look dull, any suggestions? My hair is more like salt and peeper not totally white, but I never wear gray on my clothes because it doesn’t suit me 😕
Love this question, I can absolutely promise your natural will look great. The problem is the transition because as humans we're naturally visual and only see the two tones fighting each other and can't see the outcome. Also if after you've achieved your natural color and it isn't as bright as you would like, I would do the money piece and still tone to silver. It will look natural and you would only need to do it maybe twice a year.
I have become allergic to hair dye. But I have all white grown out from roots, probably 3 inches. Would it be safe to highlight since it wouldn't be touching my scalp. Just need a little help with this, I am only 3 months in. White on top and brown on bottom
Hi Diana, my scalp is sensitive to hair dye as well after many years of touching up root growth. Just wondering what you chose to do in the end as I was considering using foils to break up the solid grey/white regrowth on top and temple area of my hair. I hope you are happy with the decision you chose.
Can you just use gray color shampoo on the still pale blonde ends?
I’m not a fan of silver shampoos because they don’t have enough pigment to be effective unless you have porous hair.
Underneath the medium/light brown dye on my shoulder length hair, I'm all grey. I'm 66 and I've been coloring my own hair for years. I'm sick of root touch-ups. This weekend I'm removing the brown dye with Color Fix (I used it years ago to remove dye build up). I don't now what color I'll end up with or how much, if any, grey will be revealed, but I'll determine where to go next after I see the results. Perhaps I'll buy a silver direct dye.
The color remover will not lighten your hair enough for a silver toner. But if your new growth is a lot lighter than what you have been coloring than any lightness will help with your transition. You will more than likely want to tone after the color remover because it will leave you in a warm tone. Please feel free to contact me for any help juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
@@juliethehairapist Hi Julie. Two rounds with the color remover took me down to a very light brown or dark blonde with orange tones (aka light auburn). I'm off to get some blue shampoo to see if that will eliminate the warm tone. Overall I am very pleased to get the darkness out of my hair. Now I'm going to let it grow out natural grey.
@@stormet54 send me a pic and I can send you some links for toners. Blue shampoo will help but more than likely it will not be enough. But I love that you can see any lightness helps. ❤
@@juliethehairapist I sent you an email
How do I make brown? I bought Pravana vivids black but it’s too dark, so what color in same line can I mix to get dark brown?
Be a colorist but like 1st grade mixing water colors. To make brownyou need, 3 parts yellow + 2 parts red + 1 blue = brown. I would add some orange because that's what will lighten the black and easier than mixing yellow and red. You can use any brand and mix a little black with a pinch of orange and then paint on a white paper towel, that is your color. Still too dark add a little more orange, too light add more black. But again paint to see the color you never have to guess on the color. Remember that you are going on your natural (white hair) so the color will be a highlight of the color.
Any tips for DIY highlights? Any kits you recommend? I always hear dark hair doesn’t highlight well. I have box dyed brown/black hair.
If it doesn’t lighten all the way, can I just cover with fun colored direct dyes like red? Will that blend well with my gray roots? I have 3 months of grow out.
Hi Nancy, watch my How bleach works video. I explain why stylist are not successful when lightening hair. There are several things that must happen or the hair will not lighten correctly. In the description I have links for all the products but it's fine to use other brands. Please feel free to contact me for any help along the juliethehairapist@gmail.com.

If my root is completely white and the rest is dark brown, what colour should I use for highlights, if I use something like pramana?
We all need the same color no matter what we are coming out of. As long as you attempt to match what is coming in, a highlight toned to silver will instantly blend your transition. When I transitioned I only put a highlight in the front even though all of my hair was a warm brown. Those streaks in the front matched what was coming in so it was all I needed. You will need a solid highlight off the part. That means you will have back to back slices with no hair dropped out in between the foils to create a solid lightness off the part. They have to get the hair to light yellow and then tone to silver. The reason for using the foil and not bleaching your whole head is, that's how we can insure getting your hair light enough, the foil insulates the hair and assists in the lifting. If you want to send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com I can give you better advice. ❤
My dyed hair is just like the piece you held up, lots of red tones. My natural hair coming in, is more salt than pepper but the pepper has virtually no red tones at all. Is that what happens commonly? I did buy some color corrector and a demipermanent chrome color. Too scared to try them though!
The biggest thing we battle is our natural is cool and our artificial color is warm. But if you just lighten the front or the donut area you will blend the color. It's no perfect but it's enough. Can you send me pics of your hair and what color you bought and I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com.
@@juliethehairapist I'll try to figure out how to send you a picture of my hair. The demipermanent color is Ion from Sally. I don't remember the brand of the corrector but it was also from Sally and has peroxide in it. The boxes are at home and I'm at work right now
Hi Julie, I am 6 months in, not much grey, all underneath, rest dark blonde
I am thinking about getting Balayage to help grey and dark blonde blond better and help brighten my face as I feel it looks mousy.
I liwould like to have my bangs highlighted in some way to add dimension brighten
Do not think color conditioner will work or overtone, no bleaching for me or short haircut
What are your thoughts???
I really do not want to go the highlights lowlights route
Thank you
Deborah
Hi Deborah, Balayage is a great way to transition because it's a highlight that puts more lightness on the ends than at the scalp. That being said all a highlight in the band or Balayage requires bleach. Bleach is not bad for the hair when used correctly. But you may not need a highlight sometimes you can't see what is really coming in. If you send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email jjjcozzo@gmail.com I can give you better advice.
Hi Julie Sorry will send you photos soon for your great advice Deborah
I have box colored my hair black for over 20 years and now I want to grow out my gray. How does stripping the black out work for the stylist? Will they have a difficult time?
Yes/No if you have someone with skills yes but unfortunately my industry is very under trained because it's not required. If you watch the why you can't get your hair light enough I explain there are several reasons why stylists are not successful when they lighten hair. If they don't understand the science it won't get lightened enough. The good news black and silver are beautiful together. Please feel free to send me pics of your hair through my Facebook page or email juliethehairapist@gmail.com and I can give you better advice.
After how many inches of growth off the part do you suggest i start highlight?
As soon as you can see your own pattern of color.
I'm transitioning from dying red for about the last 10 years. The dyed part has faded so much, it's not really bothering me right now; but I can't tell what it's going to look like when I'm all grey and whether I'll like it. I'm also trying to grow my hair because I don't want gray AND short. I just don't. I have about 2.5 inches growth right now, so I'm afraid that when it's about half and half, it's really going to bother me.
@Madmarsha It definitely takes at least a year to see our true color and two years for longer hair. I don’t ever recommend cutting unless you like short hair. Because you were a redhead you can easily color with temporary color. This will camouflage what’s happening and when it’s all grown out, you can just stop coloring. If you send me pics of your hair, I can give you better advice and show you examples. julirthehairapist@gmail.com
Is there a list of the products you mentioned? I stoped dying my hair about 6+ months ago. I am dark brunette with white/silver hair growing in sporadically with a wide white streak on one side of my face. My hair line is a salt/pepper look for about 4 inches. Any suggestions?
Hi Julia, I would put a silver highlight around your face and tone the highlight to silver. If you have any solid white areas you can do back to back foils to match what your hair looks like. If you want to send me pics you can message me through Facebook Julie The Hairapist.
Julie The Hairapist Thank you so much! My big aversion to hair dye now is the chemicals involved. Plus I swim (when the pools were open) and the chlorine was very harsh on my hair, even with a swimming cap. I was interested in the “direct dye” method you mentioned in your video. Can you tell me which products or type of product to use for what you are suggesting, the highlighting and foil method? Thank you.
@@juliad2564 1st your swimming, Make sure you get your hair wet with good water before you enter the pool. Our hair is like a sponge if it's dry it's going to absorb a lot of chlorine but if it's already full of water it can't absorb much chlorine. When you condition your hair make sure you squeeze all the water out of your hair just like a sponge before you apply the conditioner to your ends. The direct dyes that I use are Pravana, Pulp Riot and Matrix. Direct dyes are all those wild colors that you see the young kids wear, blue, red, yellow, etc. and any brand will work . Some brands have more color selection than others is really the major difference.
Julie The Hairapist Thanks for all the advice and the product names! I’m looking forward to shopping and using the direct dyes!
@@juliad2564 yes! Seriously I've even seen these colors in Walmart and Target. Be your own colorist by mixing the colors to match your artificial color when you need to camouflage or put the blue, green, etc. colors on to color your grey but it will wash out.
I just started.
Please feel free to contact me for any help along the way juliethehairapist@gmail.com ❤
What are 'direct color' brand names? Can I get them at Sallys's?
Yes you can get these at Sally's and you will apply to your new growth only if you're are trying to camouflage the outgrowth. If you send me pics of your hair I can give you better advice juliethehairapist@gmail.com. Also I will look at Sally's and send you a link of similar products.
This is very a much bigger challenge on black Natural hair
Yes/no it doesn't matter your ethnicity if you have a lot of hair this absolutely is a big challenge. But not everyone with "black" hair has a ton of hair and the money piece would be a great suggestion for people with a lot of hair because it's only in the front. I would recommend you flat iron the hair you want to lighten first. I'm going to be filming my clients highlight in two weeks she is black and I will give you more tips on her service. Another great thing about your hair type is it lightens easier and faster than straight hair. Please feel free to contact me for any help, I have been doing "black" hair for 25 years. I love my curly girls!♥️
Can you tell that direct dye name. ? Can u get in Sallys?
Here’s one from Sally’s, IroIro is the brand and Silver is the color.

Hi! I lost your email you sent me. I have questions! I bleached some pieces and it was mostly orange. The few spots that were pale came out good w silver hair dye. I need help correcting and my roots are orange! Please help:)
@dimmi77 So sorry I didn’t see this! juliethehairapist@gmail.com
I’m just two months in and am very excited. I need advice regarding convincing my husband that it will look beautiful.
My husband thought it would make me look older but now he realizes it's a different color not an age. I still do all my same beauty routines but he couldn't see it until I was finished.
My husband told me the one thing that I can do to make myself look 10 yrs younger would be to dye my hair. Sometimes you just have to tune out!
Por favor, ¿Podrías hacer tus videos en español? Muchas gracias

My gosh ur hair look very beautiful??is this natural hair color or u have done something??
Fari this is my natural color. I will post some pics of how I transitioned from artificial hair color to my natural.
@@juliethehairapist oh thank u so much for replying.im 35. First time i dyed my hair wen 16 n since then on n off im dying them.my hairs r almost 50% grey now.they turned grey wen i was 20.im fedup i want a chang.im brown n natural color is dark brown.
@@farishaf349 You're going to love your natural color I promise. If the line of demarcation starts to bother you either jabber your stylist put a highlight in the front especially where you have any streaks and tone it to a silver color. You can also do this yourself but one highlight is all you need and you don't ever need another highlight.
Por favor, subtítulos en español, gracias

Going on two months, but my hair is wavy and very frizzy and I look so ugly this is the sixth time that I'm trying again
I can absolutely help, first it doesn't matter what color your hair is if you have frizzy hair you must use a round or flat iron for your hair to look good. 2nd if you send me pics of your hair I can give you advice for you or a stylist to camouflage your line of demarcation.
OH LORD! I"v tried 4 or 5 times .I;m 73 1/2 thanks for video :) connie

Where are you located?
I'm in California, the bay area.
Is there any way to use a rinse to combat the red in my dark brown dyed hair?I’m at the five month mark and the old dye is turning very red but I’m afraid to put anything else on my hair that could be permanent and take me back to the beginning. Thank you
Yes you can put a level 6 Ash/blue direct dye. If you can't get a direct dye you can use permanent color but water down the developer to make 3 volume. Example if you have 20 vol use a splash of 20 to 1 oz of water. Apply to previously colored hair only.
Thank you, if I can find the direct dye should I leave that off my new growth also… I definitely don’t want blue streaks in my hair!😀
@@stephanief4630 only put the ash blue on your old artificial hair color.
Thank you! Can you send me exactly what u would use? 🙏
@@stephanief4630 hair color has a number system 1 is black 10 platinum blonde. You need 6 ash I found a color at (www.sallybeauty.com/hair/hair-color/permanent-hair-color/permanent-creme-hair-color/ION87.html) Sallys if you don't have access to that any brand of color as long as it says 6 ash will be fine. Purchase 10 volume Peroxide if they have it, if not get 20 volume and a color brush. Mix equal parts color to peroxide, (1 oz Color to 1 oz of Peroxide). Using 1/4 inch partings apply from the line of demarcation to the ends but leave the color off the last 2 to 3 inches (do not put on your naturally colored hair). After you have applied to all of your hair but not the ends, then apply to the ends. The ends of the hair are more porous and will take the color darker if you put the color on right away. Process for 15 min and wash and condition.
Dilute Peroxide with water to make 3 Volume peroxide. It's not critical on the measuring. Splash of peroxide and the rest water to make the 1 oz of peroxide.
Also if you don't have red in the back or underneath you don't have to put the color there either, just where you need it. And you still have another oz of color left so if you need more or missed a spot just mix up more. But you can mix less as long as it's equal parts.
I couldn't get the yellow out and my salt and pepper, and the bleached strands turned blue. HeLp!
@nothing works works I need to see a pic in order to help you.
I'm sorry....but there is a bugger in your left nose hole...thats all I could see...but your hair is so different and beautiful....be happpppyyyyyy !!!!!
Thank you so much! It's actually not a bugger, it's the lighting showing the inside of my nose because the camera is too low. This is one of my first videos and I hadn't learned to shoot down yet. But as I said in my first video I'm not trying to make money off of you or TH-cam my intentions are to help. So my videos may not be perfect because that's not my intention.
As someone said best transition gray video. My hair is completely dark brown in the back and bride of Frankenstein in the front. I will try the direct dyes. Thank you for this great video!
Thank you for your support!❤
