How to Lighten Hair the Right Way + Avoid Brass/ Orange Tones

[@Ellebangs]

How do we feel about the angles in this video? I tried something new in hopes of giving you a better view of the technique. One version is not necessarily more work than the other, just genuinely curious what you feel is more helpful.

[@Elena_CRE]

Is this something I can do at home without being a professional hairdresser?

[@louisewood365]

Thanks so much for helping the world with your wealth of knowledge, so kind 🙏

[@crystalvanchure2759]

I know you usually do this, but I really would like to see a before and after at end...thanks Sylvia!

[@RightToFreedomGirl]

@chrystal, GREAT IDEA ....like a split screen side by side front side back comparisonw/be good.

[@4ashes_embers]

You are such an inspiration. I've been watching you for so long it feels like I should know everything. I was hoping to pick your brain about making that decision to go from a total blond look, to having those darker ashy roots. I'm scared I'll make myself look crazy. 😂❤

[@Ellebangs]

You can book a virtual consult with me for a more in depth one on one with me to get personalized formulations. Or I would check out my video on reverse balayge.

Id like to see a video to cover grays i have naturally black hair but i do love chocolate brown colors and this is my biggest issue as my hair is really dark i bleach it but then the brown color over time turns orange 😢

[@crystalneel748]

I just did my highlight crown touch up too! I can not wrestle with foil on my own head tho…so I flat iron my hair super straight then pull through a cap… I have also found that by doing the root smudge I don’t even need to tone the rest as the freshly highlighted hair. It grabs enough of the root color to tone it as I shampoo it out… I kind of work it through a minute like a soap cap. Now…to figure out how to stop roots around my face from showing gray so fast!🙅🏼‍♀️It fades fast from makeup removing face wash & exfoliators…I’m thinking of keeping a tiny toothbrush & application of root tap color to use around hairline every week🙇🏼‍♀️ Ps. I am getting great results from adding a 1/4 of 3N to my 7N root color! It seems to give it more depth & holding power!

[@curlykendra5677]

I’m thinking of doing this too! What brand color did you use for the root smudge?

[@AudnessEverdean]

Yay I hope you are better girly !!! Love you and your beautiful family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for this I KEEP RUNNING INTO this problem ! I am almost there with the perfect blonde almost I just cant get rid of the brass !! I just bought all these items again and going in !

Thank you, Silvia. I always find your videos helpful and I am inching towards trying soon on my hair. Just need to move my extensions out of the way. By the way, love the wall color. Do you know what it is? Much love to you. 🤎

[@christyb2912]

I've been watching douzains of your videos, you have been so helpful - thanks!!

[@Sarahinthe419]

Thank you for this video. What is the maintenance for this look? More specifically, could you cover your gray and growth with the better natured color you used in a different video and tone all over as needed? Thanks!

[@Jen-M.]

this video is right on time!

[@BrittniAnderson-m8k]

I did a sort of balayage to my sides and crown a couple of days ago but didn't lift light enough and didn't realize the toner I was using was going to lift my beautiful root color (naturally 7 or 6) so now my roots are orange! My question is how soon can I try to use this technique to lift the roots to fix the color? I don't want to over process my hair and damage it.

[@sabinekreuz]

Hi Sylvia. you look so cute again. That little black thing on your collar, looks like a tiny chanel bag 😁. Just toned my hair this morngin with one of your toner formulation from a previous video. Thanks again. Have a great we.

[@birdwatcher2846]

Hi Sylvia, I loved our consultation in August, was such a nice birthday surprise for me! Can you do a video on how to cut our own side sweep bangs? No matter where I get a cut, I’m not happy with my side swept front layer. ( I have bang( fringe) and I want that first layer in front of my ears to sweep chin length so it stays back and doesn’t ‘droop’ . Thanks!

[@briellescherr9898]

She actually had one. You want to pull the hair overdirected across the face and at the height of the the eyebrows and middle of the eye opposite the side you’re cutting. So if you’re cutting the left bang then you’ll take a small section with a comb evenly and over direct the hair across to the right side of your face and angle your two fingers that hold the hair (keep tension) and angle cut following the fingers downward while you cut. The to make it not so blunt you will do a point cut which is holding the scissors STRAIGHT up and only use the tips to snip the ends and then open the scissor up while holding straight up still and then cut with the scissors knly half way

[@birdwatcher2846]

Thanks for the info, I’ll take a look for that video and give your instructions a try in the meantime 👍🏻

[@Luv4beauty]

Sylvia!! Thank You!! Your timing was perfect as I needed something just like this! I've always appreciated your videos as they have helped me quite a bit over the years. Much Love 🫶🫶

Very helpful! Thanks!

Genius Goddess you are!! Could you please reiterate the 7m .5 was added to the all over toner as well? Or anyone else could clarify that too

[@nissan_skyline]

She used 3 different shadesEQ glosses for her all-over toner formula. 0.5oz of each gloss combined with 1.5oz of the processing solution. The shades were 07M Driftwood, 09N Cafe Au Lait, and 10P Ivory Pearl. Hope this helps.

[@shardymelody3088]

With full head of blonde foils what would you recommend silver shampoo or purple shampoo (which one brand ) to eliminate goldiness on roots wanting to even out all over cool silver blonde and what is best moisturising shampoo /conditioner to use daily and best treatment

[@rachmatheson793]

I followed your tutorial and I have a question on my results. Are supposed to add the 07M to the All Over Toner? I added it to the all over toner and my baby lights disappeared. My hair is now ash brown with no sign of baby lights.

[@rosezeea8860]

Where can I get the redken toners?

[@rcyvgrcyvg3122]

I have questions is toning your hair the same damage as bleaching?

[@briellescherr9898]

Not even close! Bleach lifts the hair to the desired level that the toner can deposit. Toner only deposits the color that toner is to the strands of hair and doesn’t lift or remove the entire color out of the hair follicle like bleaching does

[@PigeoneerToy]

Hi, could you do a video on how to DIY a "multifaceted" color at home? Feria by L'oreal had an amazing shade, the 6.2 Warmer Iced Mocha - Light Iridescent Brown and they no longer make it 😭😭 Feria is the only hair dye in a box I've seen that actually delivers highlights 🤔 how do they do that? I'd love to recreate that shade by mixing stuff myself bc the similar shades I've seen are "flat", meaning they don't come with "integrated highlights". I've been box dying my fine mid length wavy hair with medium brown for a while with Wella Koleston permanent hair color in medium brown, which matches my natural dark brown hair, it's the box dye that comes in a purple box. But one same shade all throughout is too boring for me lol plus I'm getting more greys now, so it's time for a change. The difference between medium brown and greys is too noticeable. My hair doesn't feel dry or damaged, I know this bc years ago stylists gave me broom hair several times, like Harry Potter's broom level or "chewing gum" hair, you know what I mean, so I quit salons and been cutting and dying my hair ever since without any mishaps. I grew out all the damaged hair years ago. I only touch up the roots with the greys, without coloring the whole head every time, to avoid damaging my hair and also because once I cover those greys I don't need to go over them again, I only touch up the roots as they grow. Thank you so much Sylvia, I'm asking you this bc I've been watching your channel for many years and I fully trust your advice. Sorry for the essay lol by watching your videos I learned you need to know what you're starting with, and perhaps this is a good video idea. I really like your content 😍🌷🌷🌷

[@Stasiiiaaaa]

For the first part, how much of blonder and how much of developer? I’m new to this 😅

[@Christina-tp4mo]

I need your help! I went to the salon and asked for caramel highlights with a money piece except it turned out really coppery/orangey instead of caramel. Do you think a brown depositing conditioner could tone it down to what I want? Should I go the blue shampoo route? Or should I just make another appointment? HELP!

[@tatjanapetrevska]

Thank you so much!❤

What if you have auburn hair? Wouldn’t the hair tones always have a warm cast?

As a hairdresser I would say not to overlap the root smudge with the toner , my opinion.

Every time i embrace a shadow root sort of style its always after watching your videos. Sometimes i get my all over blonde results but this time im getting annoying yellow tones so going for a shadow rooted balayage once again 🫶

[@briellescherr9898]

You’re not lifting enough with bleach before you’re toning. It needs to be a inside of a banana peel yellow to get platinum or bright blonde hair before toning. And leave the bleach on long enough 40-65 minutes depending on quality and condition of your hair. When bleach is on the head check the processing of it and know it’ll look blonder while it’s on the hair than when you wash it off so use your finger to check the strand and smooth the bleach back over the area you’ve checked if you’re needing to sit longer. If you do a shadow root when sectioning the hair place a piece of foil on top of your head so when you lay the section over to do the next section you aren’t laying the hair down over the color and it will lay on the foil instead and then flip sections back over to their original position and repeat the same on the other side. Then using a WIDETOOTH COMB (only) to gently comb the hair from root to ends while keeping the comb clean each time you comb down. This will help it blend all together nicely and it will help defuse the line of demarcation

[@carolynjones8341]

@briellescherr9898 My hair is a dark blonde with greys. I only do 20 mins max. I used a wrong dye last time and didn't realise, so my hair went darker instead of toning lol so that's why it won't go as usual now. I'm a hairdresser too I just particularly like these videos. Thanks for your reply though ☺️
