Dark and Lovely 396 Luminous Blonde | DETAILED Tutorial and Review

Haaaaay friends.
I dyed my hair and eyebrows and rattail using the #FadeResist dye from Dark and Lovely.
Details:
Color- Luminous Blonde 390 (TWO boxes)
Hair-previously dyed honey blonde Aug 2020, dyed blonde Oct 2019
Hair Type- 3c/4a, low porosity, medium density
I left the dye on for approximately 50 minutes after application was completed.
My color is most similar to the Dark and Lovely 384 which is a more yellow tone.

[@believeringod.4004]

I used the same box in the same color and permed my hair the same day and had absolutely no damage and it turned out beautifully. this dye is harmless and works amazingly

[@partrabavonmyer9293]

Really? Your hair didn’t fall out at all?

[@proudbbwlala6060]

same perm and dye same day no damage

[@believeringod.4004]

@@partrabavonmyer9293 nope I wish I could post a picture. it had zero damage. hair still thick full and healthy

[@Miaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I did the exact same thing to but I added semi permanent dye aswell and I love it 🥰 I was expecting to see inches of my hair melting off 😭

[@michaelsliders3421]

Why would you perm it 🤡

[@straightkurves4143]

use blue shampoo to cancel orange tones. purple cancels out yellow. your hair looks great!

[@NadiaEatmon]

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t know that

[@whitneydowell3801]

I've been looking for this tip on the orange ! Thanks ☺

[@MaybeitsDavilyn]

Yes! Your orange will turn ashy from a blue toner and shampoo. Then it will be yellow enough to just use purple shampoo. Some people bleach again when you just need toner.

Wow...I cannot believe that the dark parts of your hair lifted. I guess when I have used boxed dyes on dark hair, I was too impatient and did not leave it on long enough because I never got lift.

[@natrelletyson]

Hello Nadia, should I base my scalp with some Vaseline or grease before? Im scared it will burn. Also do you have to wash with purple shampoo and conditioner? Or can you just wash with the stuff that comes in the box

[@KeishaRose]

I'm Going to try this. Texture and tones no longer takes on my hair I've dyed it twice so far a bit mess 🥴🤦‍♀️

@@NadiaEatmon no maam, you got it though 🤣🤣

[@ChanelAnice]

Was your previous hair color from bleach or box dye? I want to use this shade to lighten my hair (already colored) but am wondering if this will lighten over the D&L Honey Blonde I already have 🤔 thanks for sharing!!

[@NadiaEatmon]

From box dye! It should work if your hair takes too dye well

[@miachambers6576]

i see you have 1 loc 🥰 i’m watching this trying to figure out how to dye all my locs this color. any tips?

[@NadiaEatmon]

Squeezing the dye through each loc until the loc is fully saturated gets the best results. You may have to let the dye sit longer or do it in 2 sessions a couple weeks a part to get them as light as you want!

[@crysdiles]

Looks good

[@Djonlyoneme]

That looks good on you

[@perfectchild8073]

Informative.

[@nirvanabesai128]

Its so beautiful. I have indian hair dreadlocks my hair was previously red did this colour 2days ago did not get full coverage a bit red still my fault am scared of hair damage so i just used 1packet of booster in 2 bottle of dyes but although am scared i bought 2 boxes again to try and fix up the patches am still scared but will take my chances once more in a couple or so if days hmm...hope it turns out well witjout any hair damage after a while because thats when the damages really shows up. Just keep it moisturise often ok. It really suits you. You flam glam glow girl.

[@april620]

How did it turn out??

[@nirvanabesai128]

@@april620 hello it turned out quiet ok. I did not use any of the booster this time and i got quite a golden brown to light blonde colour. Am wearing it for now its turn heads but i can't tell if the heads turning is a 🙄one or 😀one or a😘one but my daughter sayd its looking good and her feedback means alot to me. But personally i think i will go back to the red in a couple of Months and mantain that colour for awhile again i sometimes add an orange together with the red and i get a really nice colour. The red makes my hair looks healthy and i like that this colour makes it looks to dry and a bit damage after all the booster packet is bleach and that could be very damaging to anyone hair. Anyways hope you are enjoying your colour and maybe next time you can give the red a chance and see how you like it. Bye keep good and safe. Have a lovely afternoon.

[@christandme1372]

Did you use the booster packet that comes in the box?

[@mmh8441]

If my hair didn’t lift as much as I wanted it to the first time can I bleach it again a few days later??

I usually put the specifics in my caption! I left it on for 50 minutes after I finished applying the dye.

Which developer does it use 20 or 30?

[@irvingriffin8869]

Boom❤

[@missdatoo9590]

What happens if you leave the conditioner in without washing at all?

[@NadiaEatmon]

I’m not sure. It may result in oversaturated/overmoisturized hair or a protein-overload. I always follow instructions for which products to leave in and wash out.

[@michellecastro6650]

Can it be used on previous black box dyed hair ?

[@MissCy654]

💙💙💙💙

[@nikkiknows]

I'm extra late to the party, but is that one single loc in the back?

[@Msgalindo]

I bought two of these boxes. Then I read the box. I’m not trying to be dumb. But is it safe for my hair if I don’t have curly or textured hair? I still want to use it, but wondering if it may be to strong. My hair is thin.

[@ScissorN]

Do a strand test before you apply on your entire hair

[@exiqtr]

color won’t come out if i take a shower tho right

[@aquamom14]

Key tips are as follow: Work on dirty hair ( natural oils protect your scalp) T16 is for orange brass T14 is for yellow to white tone Protect your clothes choose clothes you don’t mind getting messed up permanently Protect your eyes, for head and ears with vaseline or base protectant Please don’t do your roots right away the heat from your scalp causes it to develop faster causing hot roots Purple and blue shampoo is a toner kind of Choose colors that make you happy ❤ k bye !

[@PropheticPrincessRo]

Thank you for this. Question, if I use the box dye but want to put toner on top to balance it out, does that work on box dyes as well?? I'm not sure if it's only for bleached hair.

[@kaycee6036]

If your hair cones out orange you're supposed to use a blue shampoo. If it's yellow, then use a purple shampoo.

[@terrilee4395]

Hi, did you wash your hair before starting this process ? Im thinking about doing this today 😊

[@NadiaEatmon]

No! I also dye on dirty hair

[@symptoms5559]

Did you use any developer and if you did what volume

[@brittanyhill9106]

She used a box dye, so the developer number Is already all included

[@alexandriagreen9431]

Is your hair black at the roots because the boxes it doesn’t work on black hair but if you’re roots or black, then somebody’s lying

[@J_larubia1992]

Hi can I use this hair dye on straight fine hair? Most videos on YT had 4c hair! Btw your hair came out really nice😍

[@NadiaEatmon]

I’m not sure. If I were you, I would try a box dye that was advertised with someone with your hair texture on the box.

[@brittanyhill9106]

Honestly, I don't see why not?? I use Clairol, L'OReal, RedKen, etc. hair dye and I have fine curly hair...You could always call the company and ask but I really don't see why you couldn't--it's color

Hispanic hair > My mom used one of the colors to cover her grays and did not damaged it. Someone added red highlights to their daughter with this same brand & came out vibrant.

[@jodiemosley834]

Can. Color twice. In. Same. Day

[@Zeedenise]

Do you still recommend this color box dye if we want blonde ?

[@NadiaEatmon]

Yup!

[@brittanyhill9106]

Ahhh yes--I just remembered from the beginning of your video that you had several different colors already dyed in your hair! So all things considered, it did come out well! And I don't know if you know this already, but the hair at our scalp takes LESS time to process than the rest of our head bc of the natural heat radiating from our scalp; when we dye our hair & get lighter roots, it's called HOT ROOTS. In order to stop that, you should start adding color about an inch away from your scalp & then add color to your scalp at the final like 10-15mins of hair coloring. I learned over the years since high school when I dyed my hair at home before paying for professional service & they told me that's what it's called! Just a tip if anyone ever has that :-)

[@sincerelyshaunda221]

Thanks

[@gracebrb]

thank u!

[@sugawara8036]

very very late- but has anyone put box dye over box dye ?? if so- how did it turn out ?

[@NadiaEatmon]

I put box dye over box dye in this video.

[@yoursolost]

Is this gonna effect your hair texture

[@NadiaEatmon]

no my texture is fine. I take really good care of my hair so that also contributes to maintaining its health

[@autumnbrown-kelly7199]

If you don’t use purple or blue shampoo what are the chances of getting the same result

[@NadiaEatmon]

Every head of hair will garner different results, but your hair will probably look how mine looked before I washed it out--just a tad bit more yellow

[@ayeshakamara2987]

How many packets of dye did you use?

[@gracebrb]

2

[@shamyaleverett7353]

I looked up this video bc I’m dying my hair this same color now

[@Zeedenise]

How did it come out ?

[@lovelyniya5073]

I’m literally doing this right now & it’s not turning at all, what am I doing wrong?

[@NadiaEatmon]

Leave it for a little bit longer. Some people’s hair doesn’t take as well to color as others. You may need to try again in a week or two.

[@Nickydbabes]

Mines set for almost an hour n half before it started to turn blonde. It lightened this pretty brown within the first 40

[@thay3423]

Same happened to me, did it yesterday, left an hour and a half and it lighted to orange so I gave up. Lol have to fix it today. I'll probably just cover it back brown.

[@saadimirra6923]

What is the purple shampoo called?

[@brittanyhill9106]

There are diff ones, but its toning shampoo. John Freida has a good one & I like Pravana because I love their hair color

[@yonce5823]

This is without bleach, right (just want to make sure so I can purchase in the future)

[@NadiaEatmon]

Yup. No bleach! I only used what was provided in the box.

[@bluebird1694]

It's mostly color but the booster packet is powder bleach, so it you're scared you could skip adding it in but it won't get as light.

[@mariealexandria603]

It works on natural dark hair as long as you do not have black dye on your hair if your hair was previously tinted with black hair dye it may need a more powerful lifting agent

[@justicerighteousness3105]

While I was out shopping today. (2-15-2022) I noticed a blk children's book in a store. The title was HAIR LOVE. I picked it up and read a little. The story was about a young black couple maybe in their thirties. With a young daughter about five or six years old. The father was helping his child style her hair. He seemed to be encouraging her to go with an afro type of style. How cute. But at the end of the book there was a depiction of the whole family together. The mother had her hair strait and dyed yellow. I ask myself two very necessary questions. First why do so many blk women hate their natural African selves that much? Not many will wear nature hair for even 7 days out of the year. Second why would the creator of this book just insist on depicting the mother in this way? Even ending the book in that manner. 👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼

I think it’s called Dark & Lovely to represent Black women in general. They probably could use more dark skin women in their branding, but most of the color boxes I’ve seen have a variety of shades of black women on them. That doesn’t have anything to do with my video though 😂
