You mentioned that to cover the orange but not go darker you could use an 8N on the 7 but what if I don't have an 8N but have 7N & have clear can I dilute if so how much clear do you add to a 7N to make it a 8N. Thank you.

there was another comment here, wasn't responding to the original commenter aha, someone was saying their cousin had naturally orange hair and wasn't a redhead blonde is personally my fave, healthy blonde hair looks soo good a nice even red looks very unique and nice too It really depends on the person, dark hair is aight

I really hope that you are as successful as you want to be because I think you are the smartest most knowledgable and articulate communicator of hair color topics here on on KZbin , maybe in the whole world! I've been asking the questions such as what is a toner, what is tone, what are the numbers and nobody has explained it as you just have! Thank you thank you for making this video ! I finally know why I don't achieve the results that I want and how I can get to the right color! As I said, I really do hope that all of your dreams are coming true because you are a smart cookie who should be famous.

Why won't my hair bleach evenly? I'm able to get most of my hair to a pale yellow, but there are always a few small sections that have an orange/gold tint. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

[@rochellelakey5587]

Maybe not saturating hair shaft enough?

[@Billybloop]

It's difficult to get dark hair to bleach 100% evenly. You will always have streaks that are darker than others. The hair on your head starts out at different shades to begin with.

[@RockChick63174]

The answer to that is that natural hair is not one solid color.

You are a freaking life saver!!!! OMG this is exactly what I needed to know. I am getting so close to the blonde I want but certain parts of my hair just come out Orange. I did a double bleach and used the olaplex (freaking amazing) treatment but I still have the orange in the front. I toned with ion brilliance cherry blossom (garbage - no pink comes through) and it brought it down a bit, definitely still see orangeness in my hair. I am trying to get to platinum blonde from a level 2 or 3. I've been at this for a year now. I haven't been getting trying to get to blonde for a year, I just lightened my hair, and now that it's light decided to go blonde. I need to do 1 more bleach but I am concerned about what will happen since I use the toner already. Will the bleach lighten my hair regardless of the toner deposit? Do I need to remove the toner first? I am not going to wait for it to wash out, so I need to know the best way to keep this train going. Will a little heat help the bleach?

[@kristinleigh3592]

Are there products you would suggest for brassy colour. I have gotten my hair bleached twice so now the ends are quit blonde but there is an orangey area between my dark hair and the blonde. What should I do to tone it?

[@darlabrumit1009]

how often can you bleach your hair. or should I do a bleach bath and wait a few days. also can you use color oops after using bleach?

[@rubyrydinghood2600]

My natural color is dark ash blonde. I had dyed it red for several years, so it was a medium natural red color. I used 2 boxes of Color Oops in one sitting as my hair is mid-back length. It took out a lot of color. A week later, I did a bleach bath (bleach, 20v developer, shampoo 1:1:1applied to damp hair) for 20 minutes, it took me lighter but still yellow, I did another bleach bath at 35 minutes and my hair is now about a level 8, still a bit brassy. I waited 1 week between each treatment. As far as Color Oops after, I don't know. I'd definitely use it first as it doesn't leave your hair in bad shape. Best wishes

hello i went from black to orange wanted blond but it wont budge from orange i used colour b4 then bleach then bleach again then toner And still orange any more tips thank you xx

[@sensiblesocialite102]

What do I do after going back in for a second bleaching on the orange color and it still doesn’t lift and stays orange. How do I fix that and remove the orange

[@savannahbvarnell]

So if I have orange still and I don't think my hair can handle more bleach now could a put a 9 color over it to achieve the color I want?

[@clementeen]

I have black hair, dyed not virgin, (also studying cosmetologist), I am about to do a soap cap/bleach bath to get to orange then apply a high lift color (majirel 6) would that work?

[@carriemanning9256]

I wish someone would let me know, if it would be okay 2 put the hair color on starting at my roots of course, and then turn my head upside down to work it through to the end? I have poor circulation and can't hold my arms up long enough to work it through to the ends. So my husband's been doing it 4 18 years, other than the times when we can afford for me to go to the salon and have it done, and he's sick and tired of doing it. I'd really appreciate if someone could answer my question ASAP. thank you very very very very much

[@xTwistedPeach]

Hi hun, I think a more effective way would be to split your hair into a minimum of two sections and work the dye through the middle-ends and then apply the dye to your roots afterwards. Your roots develop quicker from the heat from your head so you should apply it last :)

[@anan-pb2zr]

hi. i ve heard about a new product named OLAPLEX which helps preventing hair damage from bleaching. have you used it? does it work? cause im a brunette but i d like to go blonde but i am afraid that i ll ruin my hair by bleaching it 2 times. thanks

what happens when the semi permanent color washes off, does the hair become brassy again ??? i have about level 6 caramel color i wanted it light ashy brown dunno how to fix it now lol

[@LisaCSCO]

My hair (bleached + light blonde mixed in) gets brassy from our hard water. Does toner help with that between colors at the salon? *edit* another question in my comments please.

[@LisaCSCO]

Ok I believe you just answered my question right when I posted it. So- just use a semi permanent dye instead of toner. So do I want to stay with the lightest blonde dye or go with a highlighter dye (purple looking dye) and apply it all over? My hair is 2 toned with bright blonde bleached highlights (purple dye) and the lightest blonde regular dye at roots and alternate layers all over. Salon, weaves hair to highlight top of weaving and blonde on bottom half of weaving . I hope I made myself clear when I described that correctly, not being a hairdresser. Thank you for any help!

You know, you keep saying in your videos how to fix at home mistakes. Since you work in a salon you should know that sometimes mistakes happen in the salon, too. I've gotten that orange, nasty, horrible hair in the salon, different salons, on more than one occasions, and most of them were high end salons.

[@Ellebangs]

Doesnt matter where it came from, I dont like bad mouth other stylists ever and sound like I have it all figured out. I am not saying that mistakes only come from at home done hair tho. :) thanks for watching

[@nayamast]

I went to the most high end salon in my town, to go from very intense dark red to blonde when I went they told me they can’t do it once and I have to go multiple sessions. I said ok and asked if it would be ready for my birthday which was something like a month away and they said “Sure, you will just have to do the therapies that we suggest also, so we won’t damage your hair.” I was okay with that since they guaranteed that they were experts and they will do it for sure. Sooo, the kind of blonde I wanted was an ashy one very light. After I don’t even know how many sessions and wasted money and going around looking like a HOT MESS it was the time for my appointment before my birthday which the hairstylist said that it would be the last because my hair would turn out the desirable color. Before going I was so skeptical about it because I could see that my hair was way too dark ( and orange) for that but I was like, whatever he knows better... I went they fried my hair LITERALLY and it turned out mustard with orange and kind of green on it. A DISASTER, so as he was getting my hair dried I thought well he is not blind he will fix it and he turns to me and says we are done. I was like but this is nowhere near the color I wanted, is awful and my hair is waaaay too damaged and he said this is exactly the color you asked and he had other hairdressers who worked there to come and tell me the same exactly think treating me like I was crazy and I didn’t know what I was seeing telling me that it’s only the lightning and I will see it when I get out.

[@nayamast]

Relle Laron I’ve waited almost 4 yrs to go blonde again and I had cutted my hair very short. Now my hair is amazing and I was ready to go blonde but I did not want to go to a hairdressing salon because I don’t trust them anymore. I bought everything myself spend also a fair amount of money in therapies for after bleaching and I did it myself. It turned out awful my roots are white and the rest is very dark orange I have no idea what to do and I’m scared to go to a salon .. I hope a second bleach will fix that mess.

[@lillyjosie3074]

As a professional I know to explain to a client that as a natural brunette their is a 70% chance the hair will end up on a very brassy hair color and more then likely I will need to reevaluate the hair and repeat the entire process the hair again at thier cost.. and should the hair contain previous color I will need to tone that color at the that level

Yes it makes sense. Now.

[@angiesiege]

I started with light ash brown hair with a couple inches of root growth that was showing a lot of metallic silver gray , (about 2/3 gray), which is my natural color now after several years of dying it. Obviously I have way more gray hair than I started with years ago. I was contemplating going natural and letting the gray grow out completely however my husband and daughter weren't ready for me to go gray yet so I dyed it as usual. Apparently Clarol Nice and Easy has recently changed their formula and using the same color I have been using for years, ( Light Ash Brown), is now closer to a Medium, bordering on a Darker ash brown! I was shocked how dark it came out but my husband seemed to like it so I let it go and moved on like nothing happened. Fast forward several weeks and my silver gray was beginning to peek through again and so this time I decided to do blond highlights to break up the dark color a bit... They turned out orange... and since the kit had one of those stupid caps that you pull pieces of hair through, I ended up having the majority of the top layer of my hair being orange, with all the hair underneath being the darker brown color! My husband almost fainted at the sight of me!... So back to the proverbial drawing board I went to try to salvage what I could by using Wella T18 Toner I had on hand in the hopes of bringing down the "brassiness"! IT DID NOTHING AT ALL! In my desperation I put on a baseball cap and went to the nearest store to get a permanent color from Loreal in Dark ash Blond, now being afraid of Clarol, hoping that it would even out the color and give me something closer to a light ash blond.... and would you believe it.... My hair turned completely orange! LOL! If you didn't know better you would think I was born a RED HEAD! my husband HATED IT ... as did I! I also ended up burning my scalp so badly that my scalp was weeping and ended up scabbing all over! Chemical burns from too many processes in one day? Chalk it up to a lesson well learned! I had to wait for my scalp to heal for a week before trying anything else! If it wasn't so damn funny I would CRY! So today I went to Sally Beauty Supply and the girl there hadn't the first freaking clue what she was talking about and recommended Wella T28 Toner which is a warmer blond! Thankfully I ignored her and bought the T14 instead! I let it process for the full 35 minutes and the final result ended up dark blond and is no longer orange, but is still a bit on the brassy side! At least I can go out in public without looking like a clown however, I am at a complete loss and cannot explain what the hell went wrong and how to get to a nice cool / ash blond! I have done blond highlights many times in the past with great results! I used Clarol blond highlights / frost kit, which is not my normal brand for highlights! The liquid consistency should have been a dead giveaway that it would be a gamble - MY BAD! LOL Should I chalk this up to a fluke or user stupidity? Does this have anything to do with the metallic silver hair I have? I have been noticing that the gray I have has been becoming more and more resistant to color over the years, especially around my temples. No mater what brand of permanent dye I have used it remains a metallic silver white color. After this debacle I am extremely tempted to give up and go to a salon! Sorry for the long story! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

[@stargazer9803]

This is the best explanation of hair coloring, hair tones, and how hair color swatches work I have ever seen or heard! Thank you so much!!!

[@Ellebangs]

Thank you! I'm doing a more in depth color class video soon. Stay tuned!

[@daniellehess8333]

You absolutely can tone ANY shade of hair- if you want to keep your hair a level 7 for instance but it's too warm, you go on the color wheel and neutralize out the underlying pigment that's left on a level 7 ( which is red, orange or a reddish orange, meaning if you put a color with a blue base or even blue violet base) you'll get a toned level 7. If your at a 4, 5 or 6 level you'll usually add blue/green or violet or a combination of all 3 to neutralize out that warmth. The color wheel is your best friend, any shade opposite will cancel out the pigment that's unwanted.. The underlying pigment in a level 10 blonde is pale yellow, and the color opposite yellow on the color wheel is violet so if you put violet over blonde it will get rid of that yellow.. The pigment that's left at a level 8 is orange, blue is across from orange on the color wheel so putting blue over that level 8 will get rid of the orange. Etc, etc, if this confuses someone then I strongly recommend going to a color specialist, it is WORTH the money to get it done right 👍😉. I am a licensed colorist also and I do more color corrections because ppl try to color at home and it goes horribly wrong.. You can usually go darker at home and be ok but trying to lighten your hair at home with a boxed dye or any color even from a beauty supply store is probably going to result in a non desirable result, color won't lift color so if you have colored your hair previously and want to go lighter, color won't do it you need to bleach, I suggest seeing a professional if your going lighter..

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

danielle jenkins Thank you! You just answered all the "unanswered questions" I still had after watching this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ilikegignger]

I made my own tonER out of purple veg dye and silicone free conditioner. I used MANIC PANIC with an organic all natural brand of conditioner. I would apply to DRY hair 2-3x per week until I had the platinum shade I wanted then maintained with purple shampoo. My hair was more yellow than orange but my hair loves to hold onto gold orangish tones. I would get compliments all the time and I finally had the color I wanted! The lady who makes these videos probably had a better answer for you but that worked for me and one bottle of purple lasted a long time so it was cheap fix. Good luck to you!

[@PlatypusGuitar]

The only question I have after watching this very informative video is why in the world dont our hair stylists explain these things to us?

[@Ellebangs]

hehe because it's somewhat complex theory and hairdressers who are not color specialists might not be aware of this them selves.

[@heidihawthorne]

as a stylist, I always explain to my clients why they cant go from dark to platinum at once and am always excited to describe how toner works when asked - if your stylist cannot be bothered or doesn't know color theory DO NOT trust them with your hair, time or money.

[@JNR_Tomorrowstartstoday]

haleygwynneable 100% agree ! :) I fully consult with a client . I will turn people away before I fry their hair . I love the people that get mad leave my salon . Go down the road and their hair is fried from a stylist willing to do what they've asked . Just to come back and apologize for not taking my advice . :/

PollyannaFeline I've been platinum (in one go) before from having dark brown hair. Still to this day I have no idea how she did it. But now I'm in the same boat; just went to get my hair an ombre blonde with cool near platinum ends and got slight reddish honey highlights and my stylist kept saying "I think that's as light as she'll go". I wanted to try a second lightening in 4-6 weeks but she seemed a bit adamant. It's pretty right now, but my end goal is definitely much brighter and less orange. I'm hoping she doesn't really think that's as light as I can go :( I've had light yellow bleaching my own before even.

Actually toner does lift brass! lol That's why people tone there hair again to make it less brassy.

[@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica6]

McKenzie Malmos toner can only correct to an extent. Toner only deposits color, it does not lift. If you have orange tones in your hair, all the toner in the world will not fix that.

[@mckenziemalmos5793]

@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica6 Ok well then when my hair is orangish blonde and I tone it it turns white...just curious how that happens? Toner gets rid of a brassy blonde.

[@srhsolocam3311]

Toner doesnt lift anything. I can remove brassy TONES in your hair. If your hair is orange it wont work. If its like.. Piss yellow... Or piss yellow with hints of brassyness it can help.(brassy meaning like when yellow and orange kinda start to blend if your looking at spectrum.. Its NOT orange.. But yellow with hints of orange starting to come through..) I dont even know if that will make sense to anyone. Ha not good at describing it.

[@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica6]

McKenzie Malmos the toner isn’t actually lifting color out of your hair, it’s getting deposited over the color that’s already there and neutralizing the color. Your hair is likely at the highest level (10+) but you just have residual pigment from either your natural hair color or previous hair colors you’ve done. When you apply a cool toned toner over a warm toned color, you’re not actually taking the warm toned out of the hair, but it’s almost like when you use color corrector on your face when you’re doing your makeup. You still have dark circles/blemishes, but you’re putting something on top of them that hides them. Does that make sense?

[@MayHope56]

😲 wow !!! Perfect 👍🏻 I have a question what color do you have in your hair ??? Is so beautiful 😍 I like it 💕

[@embot5000]

Extremely well-put and informative! You're such a resource to the community. It's impossible to fit everything in one tutorial, let alone realize that people will need/prefer different toners based on their skin & eye undertones. Not everyone will necessarily look great with an ashy tone, as you mentioned. I love your toner video. It's the formula I use on myself, because it works for my coloring. It was thoughtful to present this follow-up to clear confusion. Once people recognize not only the underlying pigment of each level, but also their own Dominent Underlying Pigment (for example, I tend to "pull" a bit golden, even at a level 10. Others can pull red, orange, or if they're lucky... neutral!), then they can formulate a toner mixture that will best serve them,

[@astrianarosario1958]

dyed my hair yesterday & it came out completely orange! toned twice & still nothing. thanks for the video very informative

[@heavythinker16]

Same thing happened to me :( How did you fix yours?

[@laprincesadelavaja8294]

That means your hair was to dark when you dyed it. You have to bleach to get the hair to go lighter and use lots of coconut oil after and lost of deep conditioners. Im stuck in that stage right now. Last time i decided to be a blonde, I had to bleach twice and use ash blonde toner to get the bright yellow blonde to a more ash blonde color. It looked amazing. I loved it. Im just taking my time because my hair is curly and I dont want to fry it. Hope everything goes well for you.

[@samanthadavis4094]

That is because in your case you had dark hair and you only bleached once, and blonde toners only work on dark hair that has been processed (bleached) twice. I am in that stage right now because I didn't want to damage my hair by bleaching twice in one day. My hair is currently banana yellow (it was an awful orange but I toned some of that out), but I've been covering it up with hats and deep conditioning until I'm ready to bleach and tone with Wella T18 to get the ash blonde I want.

[@bexrose9542]

[@Devilishka7]

I used 2 hair color removers and got rid of all red hairdye in my hair, then I dyed my light orange brassy hair dark ash blonde, and it brought be back to a very dark orange except with ash it's a very dirty looking orange. So it doesn't always work... I'm back to square one...

[@mhairi3726]

I think you should remake this video with accuate information. I love your new videos but this one has made me unsubscribe from your channel, sorry lovely. Tone and toners apply to ALL levels and shades of hair. To tone orange hair you can use a blue shampoo/ conditioner/ dye OR colour at the same or lower level. And since tone is arguably more important than level, I would suggest going DOWN a level to get rid of UNWANTED orange tones (not UGLY orange tones or colour lighter). Also it's not advisable to do 2 bleaching sessions in 1 day. It's far safer to wait for at least a week to recondition & use bonder for the hair. Of course that means actually dealing with and *accepting* orange hair, call it auburn, copper or mango if you want. You're meant to work with the level & shade of hair you've got (not what level you want) ie live in the present moment not get anxious about the future. That comment reveals so much about your OWN elitist attitude towards blonde hair and your OWN mental health issues, and explains why you (and millions of others people) don't want to be your NATURAL hair colour. It's really sad. I am actually open & accepting of ALL levels and shades of hair. It's a shame you aren't 😔 take care ❤🙏

[@Kraftydesignsbyopie]

So if salon aka hairstylist are suppose to know all this why do they still leave the hair orange... 😡😡😡 Everytime I've gone to a salon they mess up my hair really bad and thank God I've only done my hair very few times. I think they know what they are doing but its obvious no matter the experience or knowledge the 1000% suck at what they are doing.

[@erikam4351]

Roxanne McComas you have to either leave it or put a Demi perm color over it that matches your level to neutralize it. You’ve damaged your hair too much so I would start deep conditioning as well

[@biba3025]

Stop bleaching. Toning orange hair with darker blonde is better than bleaching and have horrible hair! I did that mistake, i went platinum blonde, like white! It didnt damage hair directly but by the time it looked horrible. That strongly bleached hair needs strong after treatments. And also it didnt suit me too well, im very pale green blue eyes, the gold honey blonde was perfect for me. What i did now was bleaching my grown out roots (10 cm) 2x with 20 volume both times. I ended up with light orange if not dark yellow. I toned it with permanent dark blonde hair which i wanted-permanent. It turned.out sooo gorgeous. Ashy with golden undertones, like natural blond. However if u want to be platinum go to salon and let them fix ur hair and treat it a bit. Destroyed hair isnt worth it i swear. Its light but.not as soft and natural.

[@svenblu7776]

Brad Mondo said that your hair might have reached its limit of lift? Because there is a point where hair stops lifting and stays orange or brassy at that point. I didn't get the full verbatim but that's the idea.

All natural hair colours in the world? What about auburn ; chestnut and strawberry blondes..all natural.. all red toned..

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

I can see why this video was so popular, its the most intelligent hair color video I've ever seen! I guess I'm still confused as to whether I should "tone" or "bleach" to get rid of the red tones in my hair. I have brunette hair that turns blonde naturally in the sun, however, lately I've been seeing grays in the crown area of my hair. So I bought a box of "neutral" blonde hair dye from Vidal Sassoon (over the counter) and it left the small areas I colored a strawberry blonde color. A month later, I used "color oops" to try and remove the red, which got rid of about 1/4 of the redness. I waited another month, reapplied the color oops, and now the red is about 1/2 gone. Essentially the area I colored is now blonde with light strawberry blonde highlights. Now my hair is pretty dry and having breakage issues. In my case would you consider this the kind of "brassiness" that a toner can remove, or would it be the kind of "reddish orange" that needs to be masked with semi-permanent hair color in a light ash blonde? Also, if you do use semi-permanent color, is the whole goal to protect your hair while masking the red until its healthy enough to bleach again to get the color from red to blonde?

[@SerialGothQueens]

The darker your hair is to start when you're trying to lighten it, the more orange it will pull. It's a matter of getting through those orange tones without compromising the integrity of the hair.

[@ricebowl6864]

Mine started dark brown virgin hair,wanted caramel highlights, turned out kind of brassy red,she toned and it was yellow.Next day she said she would add ashy and it turned an orangish.She knew it wasnt right yet and she wanted to tone again.I said my hair needs a break.i asked her If she should have left bleach in longer in first place.She said no.I paid a lot and I think she was helpful and tried, but color is not her thing.My only option is to really go to another stylist,I guess.This was my first time going to her she wanted to Make it right ,but how many times do you go back and she says she needs to tone for a third time.

[@a_mandalorian]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been a cosmetologist for 7 years and unfortunately these errors are all still too common. You explained things better than my instructors did. I would love it if you could “go back to basics” and teach a simple beginners color class. I wonder if I learned it from someone else’s perspective I might be able to grasp how the mechanics of hair color works, if you haven’t already. Thank you again!

[@mn9120]

You should definetely use less ashy tones for yourself because your hair looks like a wig for someone else.

Before you start bleaching your hair - make sure your hair is nourished and in the best possible shape. I recommend ALL my clients use a Monat brand Shampoo/Cond before starting as they're naturally based and truly helps to nourish and restore your hair to make sure its in its best state possible before you start applying bleach. Trust me, it will save you a lot of money in the long run. If you want to learn more about Monat, read this section on my website: ellebangs.com/ellebang-monat/ - Yes - I am affiliated with Monat, because I truly believe in their products.

I need to remove the orange brass (its not super orange, but there is a cast to it - much like a natural Strawberry Blonde). I have no problem with Strawberry blondes...my sisters are naturally this color. It just doesn't work on my skin tone. Please help.
