Can this L’Oreal Silver Grey boxed dye save my yellow orange hair?

Reviewing L’Oreal Preference Vivid Colours - Silver Grey on bleached hair that’s gone wrong. Hoping to help others with dark Asian hair like me who have accidentally bleached it yellow orange. Not sponsored by L’Oreal!

[@fabyb6306]

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

@@fabyb6306Yup. Should neutralize some of the orange

[@seviregis7441]

Silver is too light, a level 9-10 depending on the shade, could even be 11-12 if just platinum level toners. But your hair is a mix of tones from a 4-5 brown to a very warm 6-7. Therefore silver is too light to effectively tone down your hair. It did a tiny bit, but if you want the Orange out, you first have to decide what end result you desire to achieve. Then you need to lighten your hair to be even or darken it to be even. Then you can tone it with the proper level and pigment.

[@MundaneAdventuresWithMagz]

Yeah 100%, kinda learned that lesson the hard way haha. In the past I've only bleached it to a certain level (lighter than the L'oreal achieved) to colour it with a bright pink or purple. It's a pity cos I loved those colours but I think the brand (RUSH) has since gone under.

[@lenny6118]

​@@MundaneAdventuresWithMagz You sshould try the Brad Mondo XMondo Color 😃

[@camarokefalas3926]

Just a question I hope you reply!!! Buttt my hair is pale yellow like a baby yellow would silver bring that yellow down? Someone said to mix it with 20% developer and it should get rid of the yellow and turn it white like my other part of my hair. Idk I don’t want to mess it up I need help been doing research for days and your comment comes close to someone I need to help me, for reference I have the exact same sliver as her. Help… I can’t get toner till I can never had yellow roots before so I never thought of getting it with the rest of the stuff… 😢

[@laurievanzon2126]

@@camarokefalas3926 did you try purple shampoo?

[@onthedaily7099]

Maybe not the result you wanted, but your hair looks so pretty. I love the color transitions. Great video!

[@BigMamaCat]

The final colour came out quite nicely. It's pretty. For future reference, the roots always process more quickly than the ends due to the heat from the head. It's best to do the roots last. The Hair Buddha has lots of good advice on his channel. Maybe you'd like to check him out? 🙂

[@wendybutler1681]

The color is MUCH improved. I am a mediun-dark ash blonde who is only greying here and there but mostly going transparent. No color to it at all so it's invisible and I look bald. Trying to find a shade that reflects my natural color but they were all too golden. Went with silver last time. Hair isn't silver but it looks great! Toned down the golden and put in the frosty highlights I had when I spent summers in the sun. The roots even blend in so there isn't such a distinct line of dyed and undyed. My hair was so dirty when I dyed it silver that I wonder if it kept some of the dye from being as effective. Getting ready to use the silver again (Nice and Easy, a new shade for them). Wondering if it will be a little more silvery this 2nd time using the shade. This is all new to me. Nature girl here. If I wasn't so short it wouldn't bother me so much that my cowlicks and transparent hair didn't make me look bald on top. Everybody sees the top of my head. So my fragile, thinning hair gets colored for the first time ever at 65.

[@YaYaPaBla]

Keranique shampoo and conditioner helped my thinning hair just don’t use it all the time.

[@daniellelucy6056]

That came out to a pretty strawberry blond at the end 🥰

[@glowqueen934]

I have watched 100 videos trying to get the best outcome results to help me make a decision on canceling out this brassy + yellow hair of mine and yours was the best one so far! Simple but knowledgeable and your results came out really nice imo ❤🎉 thank you for sharing

[@altabotha4525]

I love your color it looks beautiful with your complexion ❤

[@thaismatsumoto]

It’s true that purple and yellow cancel each other out. Problem is that you mixed purple with red,not yellow. You need blonde hair to achieve the color silver. You didn’t have blonde hair at all. Or yellow. And It was different shades of orange so that is why it wasn’t even. You can’t expect a light color to cover two different darker colors evenly.

[@MundaneAdventuresWithMagz]

Haha yeah, I kinda figured that one out in the end and went with a bluish dye the second time I bleached my hair. I think it turned out much better. Definitely a learning experience!

[@seeleygirl6178]

@@MundaneAdventuresWithMagz Yes, color wheel, blue cancels orange. But the yellow parts will turn green so be careful.

Use direct dyes like manic panic , less damage, and works very well . Just choose the opposite color on the color wheel

I went blonde a couple of times before and with dark hair u have to bleach it first and then use the hair color! But u got to go to a Sally’s beauty if u live in the states! If u do it with out knowing what ur doing then u run the risk of your hair falling out especially with using too much bleach! And dying it and then doing it again too soon!!

[@diblust53]

I fixed my struggle with brassy/orange roots this way: I bleach only the roots with a frost kit. The next day I then use my usual color (Ash blond). Loreal now makes a toner for blonds that cancels out 99% of brassiness between color treatments.

[@BirdTalk13]

That’s good about L’Oreal now making pigmented toners.

I just wanna say thank you for posting this!!! I put a blue toned light gray permanent hair color on top of my orange hair and it turned a cool toned blonde!!!! So much better than bleaching and it worked!!

[@makaylaforbes6719]

Im guessing your hair was much darker when you started. The red pigment in hair 8s the toughest to get through, so if your hair is fairly dark and you want to go light light blonde or lighter, you need to get through all that red pigment first, and if you want to have a blonde without red or gold tones, pick an ash tone blonde, because the ash t8be will neutralize the warm red tones

[@wondertwin13]

Ash blonde can turn golden tones like that green. I would suggest a professional.

[@judymurray191]

They try to show people that it won’t lighten enough on hair that dark. With your normal hair color, you would have to use regular bleach and then when it gets light enough you would need to use something else to tone to a more pleasing color.

[@user-zy9dc9ss6n]

The best thing you could have done was let a professional hair stylist color your hair. That's what they went to school for. It would have saved you a lot of problems. Lightening dark hair can be really tricky.

Not using enough product to fully saturate the hair will lead to inconsistent results and undesirable effects.

[@TheJillscott1]

You did a great job. You can also try using toner shampoos a few times to keep toning the yellow areas out. Over time the colour will change

To tone Yellow it’s Purple, To tone orange it’s Blue.

You need to find a blue based ash to cut that orange 🍊! 😂♥️😊

[@Narconia]

It went evenly you just didn't apply it properly........you apply it to the ends first and let it sit most of the time and when there is 15 ish minutes left you apply it on the roots as the heat from your scalp causes them to process faster...... if you apply on roots first and then the ends you get a un event results because again heat from the scalp make the roots process faster.....since the ends don't get much if any heat from the scalp.

[@thaismatsumoto]

Nvn g hB h..that’s only part of the problem. Her hair isn’t lightened enough for this color. She has to be blonde first.

[@DCBELLAFAIRY]

When going to a lighter color bleaching most of the color you have on now , but leave a little color in, it’s like a sink if you bleach all the color of your hair color out the color you deposit won’t stay in long because it had nothing to grab on it’ll wash all out within a week so always leave a little of your natural or color treated shade in 😀 that box has 10 volume in it so thankfully you’ll get a little more lift , anything 10 or more is lifting 5 is depositing

[@denisekitson9390]

You should not bleach your hair more than once you will cause it to go slimy and fall out go to the professionals if you want to go light I see so many young women ruining their hair because they don’t know what they are doing I was a former hairdresser.

[@sprhtiger]

I just want to let you know it is very normal for your hair to turn yellow at your first attempt because your hair has different coloured pigments that dominate your hair and your must be red or a gingery shade, what you usually do is take the colour down gradually if you are starting with dark hair and wanting to go blonde, if you think about it, it makes sense. I just thought I'd send you this to let you know you did not fail and just needed to take a longer look at it. 😊 good luck with your other ventures

You need to add blue to neutralize the orange.

If you want to neutralize your hair color into a cool blonde watch a few of the videos where they use blue black hair dye as a toner.

[@jenniferzettel]

Should of rolled with the orange and make it cowboy copper cuz thays the new thing for winter. Cuz if you had dark hair you need to lighten again. Its a process. It took me almost 3 months of bleaching like once every other week and not using box dye anymore. Now that it finally is platinum i definitely dont want to go with a darker color for winter like alot of people do. Ill just use semi colors in between for the holiday of that month. But i also leave a lot of white out or dye the white to silver as well and it looks like a veil of white or silver. Now this month its silver/white at the top veil, jade green at the middle section of the back and garnet red in the bottom of it all. So basically it reminds me of red white and green candycanes and i love it. It turned out ao well. But to get the purple/blue out of my hair i did one round of color oops and that made the purple blue. Then i used loreal effasol color eraser and it knocked the blue out like it was never there. And i barely lost any hair.

[@cathydavies3526]

I think it looks great.. strawberry blonde..

[@Lesleymehnert]

It looks nice x

[@melodyknarian1411]

You need to bleach your hair with a 30 volume leav e on till you get a pale blonde as long as your hair isn't losing and dont leave on longer than 40 minutes id say check it every 15min to see how light its getting...then once you get to pale yellow then tone your hair with toner of your choice depending on what color you want to achieve... Purple tones will cancel Yellow..and blue will cancel orange
