BLONDE TO BROWN | Tips For Darkening Bleached Hair

[@rebecadiaz2194]

It looks so pretty! Definitely still blonde tho not brunette

[@soliriabridges1470]

Agreed shes for sure still blonde.

[@somegirljesskent]

Corina Roof definitely! That’s why I made sure to put dark blonde in the thumbnail! Especially since I’ve washed it, it faded quite a bit. But I think the tips are helpful for people going brunette too 🤗🤗🤗

[@soliriabridges1470]

@@somegirljesskent either way it's stunning and I love the warmth of it

[@skyworks5912]

Agree it looks like a golden blonde

[@kristengann6864]

Very pretty, definitely still light i would call this a medium blonde.

[@somegirljesskent]

kristen gann yesss that’s why i put dark blonde in the thumbnail! But brunette in the title, because the tips are still valid for both outcomes 🤗

[@laynasnow8550]

This colour looks so good on you! Yes, if you're going from blonde to darker, don't use anything more than a 10 developer. The reason for that is developer opens your cuticle to lift your hair natural colour... lightening it before depositing the colour. If you're already blonde there is no reason to lighten your hair at all, and if you have a blonde dye on it it wont even lift... it will just damage. Dye doesn't ever lighten dye. You're better off going with a dark toner rather than a dye anyways. Less damaging.

[@laukahh]

I don't know why but when you said 'it was time' I almost cried. I follow you for such a long time and I have seen you bleach your hair every month and I bleached my hair because of you, because I fell in love with blonde hair. It was such a journey with so many hair videos (that I've missed so much)! But it was time...

[@somegirljesskent]

Laura Bársony awwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are so sweet!

[@theblackcatx]

This color is SO flattering on you!! complimented your skin perfectly

[@RebeccaJayne5x5]

I am so glad I finally found a normal girl on KZbin you look awesome and very pretty but I feel like I can relate to you often when I have watched beauty KZbin videos they are like professionals and I give up following as I don’t have the skills (I should have been a guy) but your videos as perfect for a not perfect girl like me 😄 thank you so much!

[@somegirljesskent]

thumbs up if you made it to the end to watch my bathroom chronicles lollll

[@woodandhookshop2354]

I love your hair! The tone and color makes your skin glow!!! Congrats on using box dye and succeeding😀

[@nikkipare2485]

I am about to darken my level 9 blonde so I can chill with the root touch ups a bit, and so glad you recommended to use a 10 volume with regular box dye if that's what we have. Don't know why I wouldn't have thought of that on my own!

[@angelalouisebrown445]

Your hair coloring and bleaching videos are by far the best. Thank you Jess 😊

[@angelicsailor1st]

WHAAAT oh OH oH wow I decided in December I'd grow out my natural hair so I buzzed up to my ears and just left 3 inches of my bleached blonde white with my bangs and now it's all grown out mini mullet because of quarantine honestly it's been nice to have a more natural look, and not look all alien white I'm over the high maintenance blonde

[@SunshineBear1211]

Looking at “blonde to brown hair” videos trying to decide if I want to do this. I’ve had my blonde hair most all my life...and I’ve seen your toner and hair color videos and I appreciate them! They helped me so much! I’ve been curious about the filling process. Would copper be good?

[@ammar4879]

I LITERALLY DID THIS DURING QUARANTINE 😂💖 i love it on you btw. Sometimes i miss the look of my platinum hair, but the natural colour is soooooo much easier to upkeep! i used a reddish semi perm dye first, then dark blonde on top and *almost* matched the roots of my natural colour. WOOT WOOT welcome to low maintaince hair life girl 👏💖🙌

[@nanettekhoury9789]

I think you did a great job and this is coming from a hairdresser!

[@somegirljesskent]

Nanette Khoury thank you!!!that means so much

[@TODOMATIO]

I did the same thing, I’m now dark blonde and I do it by using “super blond” or “high lift blonde” which can be ordered online: Igora 12.19. You do this on roots with developer 20v and for the last 5 minutes I distribute on the rest of my hair with a bunch of water. The color becomes medium ashy. This way I don’t have to bleach anymore. I still tone in a week with 9.1 demi permanent hair color (I used many brands but any 9.1 is my go to).

[@ltejle]

Happy 29th Jess!! I admit, I was shocked to see this but it came out great! Smart to use demi developer as will fade and easier to lighten again if you change your mind! I myself recently went from light blonde to strawberry blonde as I get bored so easily!

[@jose11032]

your skin is GLOWING in the darker hair!

[@KatieJo317]

I’m level 10 blonde but want to go a bit darker, I was thinking of doing a mix of a neutral and a golden blonde, level 9

[@amytaint9389]

Wow, so smart to use a filler shade as well as two different on the final - looks gorgeous, natural and “unfussy” for all the work it took 😍 thinking about this too for the Duration...❤️ stay well ❤️

[@penelopedreadful]

This colour looks SO GORGEOUS on you!

[@Salutlaurie]

I was really happy to see the clip at the end and seeing you didn't used the 20 volumes !

[@flombertogforsberg172]

This color looks very natural. At the beginning of the video, I thought that it was your real hair color, (because I have the same hair color), but it turned out that it is dyeing. I am shocked, great job! You look amazing!

[@CharlotteSteele-gg4ss]

Its a lovely dark blonde colour, it looks great

[@athinaparianou7025]

This is a "my hair but better" color on you. Also can we talk about how dampening the hair when using box dye is really smart?

[@lisamarie2903]

I have been looking for videos to go from blonde to brown and this is the best one 😍😍😍 amazing advice thank you 😍❤️

[@chelseamariee7496]

It's such a pretty natural looking Colour 😍 really makes your eyes pop 💞 beautiful lady xx

[@thenesoyav.martindelanuez6291]

Did you apply the "filler" color the same day as the final colors or did you wait? The result is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@christypelak3183]

Looks beautas always! I remember back in the day i first stsrtes following when I totally messed up my hair and discovered toner!! You saved the health of my hair and I've enjoyed your videos ever since.. I would like to see a strawberry blonde on you with your eyes would totally pop 😊 or maybe you've done that problem haha anyways thankyou for all the great content over the years never disappointed i remember when your hair was super short and brown haha its so long and beautiful ❤

[@NikkiKamminga]

That turned out so nicely, I love it!

[@madisonpetronick1341]

I love this color on you against your skin tone and your eyebrows. It looks very flattering on you 😁 I have been bleach blonde before too and now it's more of a medium warm blonde, and it looks more flattering on me as well, at least I think so 😅

[@KJW-js9bv]

It actually looks so much better darker blonde

[@amychloe8560]

This is such a flattering colour on you!

[@blondiewendy]

This is my hair color but with highlights/baby lights. Never been a fan of extreme ashy or platinum look. This shade of blonde looks very natural. And if you have fair skin it makes you look rosy or alive 😁 rather than with ash tones. A little contrast between skin color and hair color is my go to look.

[@JennMartinello]

Girl!!! I've been a hair model for a long time in Miami Beach South Beach. So when I stopped and move to a slow town I just was like totally addicted to doing my hair all the time and I watched many of your videos over the years and you've given me the courage to do a lot of things LOL so thanks to quarantine for the first time in my life I give myself a textured pixie! I was tired of trying to maintain my Platinum here so I said screw it I'm cutting it off and you know what it's been fun I have a plan to grow it back to I'll break it down maybe a little later. But I must say I was not expecting to see you with anything other than some sort of blond this is nice it almost looks like a 27, or strawberry blonde with like a little hint of some sort of neutral in it. I like it it's cute very Girl Next Door very very innocent it definitely took yours off of you and you already look young. Anyways just wondering how you been you look really sad in your videos when you were in lockdown or bored LOL haven't heard from you in awhile hope you're well give us a video update on how you're doing and what is your hair doing also?

[@mjansen4885]

Hii super helpful video thank you so much you look so pretty and gorgeous! I have a question, right now I have platinum hair (level 10), and I want to get a blonde kind of like yours, so a golden blonde (around 8g perhaps). But For filling my hair I don’t know if I should get a yellow/orange (like arctic fox cosmic sunshine) or something else? Also I’m not sure about the ratio of filling hair dye and conditioner, i have shoulder length hair. Do you have any tips or recommendations? Thank you so much! ❤️

[@MrFungus01]

I love it ! So pretty! I LOVE the hair tips too! I know your not a professional but you know more than a lot of professionals do. lol 😂 I love your advice! X❤️

[@emilyrosebosco4612]

omg this color looks absolutely beautiful!!!

[@SandyCheeks63564]

I had a bottle of 40 vol, a really large one, don't know why, but I read up and found out that I could turn 40 into 20 by diluting it with water half and half. So I did that and I used it and got very little damage when I bleached my hair. I suppose you can take a 20 and dilute it half and half with water to get a 10. Though it may be runny because of the water.

[@kcummings501]

Hi I just found your video. GREAT INFO just need to know exactly which product you used to fill your hair please

[@MikiMannikin]

I tried to go 1-2 shades darker from platinum blonde. Ended up with darkest brown.

[@sophieannaviolet]

This was an extremly helpful video for me. Thank you for making it! I want to go a little darker and have never done it myself before.

[@ajharris9910]

Hi, I would like to try this technique. I just have a question... my roots are medium to dark brown (haven’t been to the salon due to the pandemic) but the rest of my hair is bleach blonde from highlights at the salon. My dark roots also have quite a bit of grey, even some small patches. Do you think I should mix one box with volume 20 developer for the dark/gray roots and another with volume 10 for the bleach blonde part. Is that how this works? Thanks in advance for your advice!😀

[@alphamorton927]

Every time I go blonde I have never had to fill my hair. I just buy a box of natural instincts and it goes right back to brunette. I wonder why mine doesn’t ever need a filler. I want to go back brown again but don’t know if it will do it easily like that again lol

[@brittanybarryart]

So pretty! How do you maintain this as it grows out? 💖

[@Helsyedd172]

This hair colour is stunning on you! I’ve got a balayage currently and I really want to get this colour but I’m worried my natural colour won’t turn out the same shade as my ends, naturally it’s a mousy brown but it has a tendency to go ginger when I use blonde box dye, any suggestions?

[@johanna4263]

Came out so nice! Also was wondering was the dye permanent and how much 10 developer ounces did you use to mix the dye with?

[@chloe1435]

hi i have two questions please please answer this is the only video i've seen so far that is helpful. 1. had u already filled ur hair in the last clip? and 2. did mix part 9g and 6g before putting it on ur hair? im confused about how u apply both? did u do 6g first and then some 9g on top of that?? thank u please help me so my hair doesnt turn out bad

[@Yomoonflowerr]

In my experience when wanting ash colors (blonde and brown) the cheap ole revlon colorsilk dyes do the best. I like them even more than any ash colors from sally's.

[@Ninkopi]

It's beautiful! I imagine that a chocolate brown would suit you too

[@laurieanne9179]

This is so flattering on you! It's the dream color I've been wanting. My hair is a level 6, how do you think I could get this color? Just allover bleach first?

[@somegirljesskent]

Laurie Anne if your hair is a natural level 6, you could probably just use a level 7-8 blonde box dye with the 20 volume developer it comes with! That would lift your hair a bit. I didn’t use the 20 volume because I didn’t need lift (and it’s more permanent), but if lift is what you want, then you could totally use it! Also check out hi-lift colours at Sally’s. They will lift your hair without bleach.

[@laurieanne9179]

somegirljess Thanks Jess, such good ideas! I appreciate it :)

[@natmya243]

What is your natural level please?@@somegirljesskent

[@katiegeddes6278]

Love you & love how your new colour has turned out. I’m just a bit confused because I thought you mixed Clairol 6g & 9g together, but in the bathroom you seem to be just using 9g. Not a criticism, just interested in mixing boxed shades together as I’ve never done it. Love watching your videos

[@somegirljesskent]

Catherine Seear oh noooooo sorry for the confusion!! I did mix the shades together. I started with 6g alone, and then I added 9g TO the 6g mix that I was using already!

[@manda6198]

@@somegirljesskent So when you added 9g, did you add more 10 developer too?

also does it make a difference if you tone ur hair yellow or orange?? what others would u reccomend aside from manic panic arctic fox?

you can add water to 20 vol. developer to knock it down to 10 or 5 volume

[@bunnym196]

I don't know if you'll see this comment since this video was over a year ago. But if I bleach to a level 9 and then want to dye my hair to a light neutral brown, can I just use a light golden brown hair dye or would it be better to use an orange filler before I even dye it and then just dye it a neutral light brown? (I have no experience using fillers ). Or would the fact that my dye i'm using has gold in it be enough? Also I didn't know if my hair would come out warm using a light golden brown or if it would just come out neutral since my bleached hair had the pigment removed? I'd prefer just a neutral light brown as my end result. Too much warmth brings out redness in my skin tone. I was going to use Wella Permanent color in 5G light golden brown...

[@natmya243]

Hi. I'm curious what you did and how it turned out :)

[@kelcwalker5105]

I made the mistake of putting an ash dye on top of bleached hair and it does look green toned. How can I fix it ??

[@liz2111]

Excellent video. Thanks! However, I personally prefer your blonde hair which looked stunning on you.

[@DaniefromCanada]

What beautiful result!

[@annaburns5382]

Ten volume developer on my hair is permanent. When I first tried coloring my naturally light-ish hair, Sallys said 10 volume is NOT permanent, so I used it, thinking if I didn't like it, it would fade. I got roots from it, and had to touch up the roots every couple of months. Now, I am letting it go until I figure out what I want to do. I have never put bleach on my hair...too scared of it. I have seen so many women screw up their hair...big damage and or orange. I'm not doing that. So I used ION demi color 10A with 10 volume developer and got a lightening. It was not 'solid' where all my hair was the same color, so it looked natural. Not sure what I want to do now...maybe let the blonde/gray come in.

[@labornurse]

I have heard of a 5 volume

[@labornurse]

Or use a true semipermanent like a coloring conditioner or something like fanci-full rinse. Maybe your hair is very porous or easily lightened.

[@natmya243]

@@labornurse I'm a level 6 mousy naturally and even 5 volume lifts my hair to ginger even though every hairdressers swears blind that a 10 or below will only deposit and not lift. I think if u have a strong red pigment in your natural hair (which I do) any developer is gonna lift it a tiny bit and show red.
