Can you demonstrate how to do a root touch up for medium blonde hair with dark roots without bleaching using high light dye and toner

Oh girllll...i just have to chime in and say you've got to try pure african shea butter and using it to moisturize your skin. I take the extra step of whipping it in my stand mixer. It will not clog your pores, and yet is the most moisturizing product you will ever find. It is completely safe for adults,kids, and even pets.🙂 Love your videos, I'm a baby stylist in Cos school, and this video in particular is so helpful!❤️

Thanks to you people think I have my highlights and color professionally done by “someone pretty good” this is a quote from a woman who trimmed my hair a while back lol she said you know this is pretty good! I would stick w her . I will it’s me 😂

[@AndreaOnhec]

you’re doing your hair alone by watching a video? listen to me, think about your travel and pay a professional to had your hair done

[@femalejaysfan]

@AndreaOnhec it's my only option where I live, and I've been doing my hair myself for years. I would prefer to pay a professional to do it tbh, but there are no half-decent salons where I live. The salons in my town have literally been on that show Tabatha's salon takeover. 😂😂 The only one that wasn't... well, I went there once, and an older male stylist made me go into a private bathroom and change into an outfit he gave me before he would start my hair!?! Girl, I have stories. 😭😭 Have you heard of food deserts? I live in a salon desert. 😂

Just tried the 07M + 09T formula, but way too warm to correct my brassy base level 8. I’m gonna try the GN + N next to see if that works better for me. Thanks for sharing, love your videos, ver my informative

[@emmafournier6903]

If you have lots of grey hair should you just highlight and skip brunette base colour? Will the hair then be overall less warm and brassy ? I'm confused! Your hair transformations are amazing

[@darnitthelma4247]

I’d have a root stretch in your base. It’s changed my world as I’ve aged. Sounds drastic😂but honestly never felt so natural yet my hair now compliments my skin & does not age me

Thank you for this helpful information. I really appreciate it. I just went online to order the Sally Beauty formula for the brunette toner. Both the 7V & 5N are both on clearance for $2.99. I’m assuming that means they will be discontinued soon. Could you suggest another formula from that line using colors that they seem to be currently stocking? Thanks so much.

[@mmhoen]

This was so helpful!!! I have always had success following your techniques and suggestions

[@ani6450]

Hello Elle, I've been watching your videos for a while and have often tried to use your tips. Now I have the problem that I haven't been able to get rid of the ash/grey in the lengths and tips, and the orange at the roots, and have had to dye my hair dark brown. I'm really unhappy and have already lost a lot of hair. My tips keep breaking off and I'm happy about every millimeter that I gain in length. Can you help me? I'm from Germany and no hairdresser here is really helpful. Best wishes, Ani🙄

[@gail501]

What vol processing solution do you use for the toning

[@phironcjones4057]

Why not using permanent colour? On overprossesed hair a toner will not last long. Is this a wrong tought?

[@paintbynumber9493]

Can you do a video about if it’s possible to basically tone gray hair to not be “bright”. Or to slightly change gray to be not so glaringly silver. I am interested in growing out my silver but having it look a little more muted & youthful than the natural tone it is if that makes sense.

Silvia, please help. I have very dark brown hair (almost black) with a very reddish undertone. I went to 5 different hair dresser and none of them are able to lift my hair, it always end up very VERY orange and brassy. The toner doesnt last more than 2 or 3 washes, doesnt matter which brand or hairdrsser it always end up the same. What can I do?

Use 4n and 7V .. the V should cancel the warm. Even better if you can find 6V. Not sure they make it ...

[@JulieStokes-ip3hv]

I don't think this works for everyone though. First, everyone pulls gold in different ways. Putting a toner just on the base is too hard to do yourself, and eventually wears off, leaving you back at square 1. The best and healthiest thing to do for your hair is to just put in thin highlights where it looks like the sun kissed you. Leave the rest of your hair alone! Also, highlights should be only 2-3 shades lighter than your natural, to give a natural look❤️

[@RestorationDream]

I have to color my hair at home because I cant afford a salon. I was doing box color level 7A at my roots to hide grey, nice for a week or two, but eventually it would always turn orange. After doing my roots for a year, my whole head was orange. So, I thought covering with a redken shades eq all over gloss one shade darker would turn it a beautiful medium brown. I looked at all the photos online who use 6NB and then did it and guess what, Yes I have dark red hair. A blue red hair all over. All it does is show my dark circles under my eyes and makes me look older and mean. Great. I thought NB meant neutral brown. No, it is a dark copper blue cowboy red color. Ugh. I am fairer than you and have light blue eyes and now blue red hair. I look like Ronald McDonald!

[@bridony225]

What is "processing solution"? If we are not supposed to use a developer, I'm not sure what the processing solution would be here.

[@kittykittysoftpaws]

Processing solution is the name of the "developer" for shades EQ is about a 7 vol

[@bridony225]

@@kittykittysoftpaws Thanks! And that won't lift? Because she said not to use anything that lifts. (Sorry, still learning.)

[@Ellebangs]

Processing solution activated the toner shade without lifting. Mixing with a developer would lift the hair. Like mentioned in the video, mixing with a developer would only make the brassiness worse, so steer clear of developers to fix this issue.

[@bridony225]

@@Ellebangs Thanks!

[@nancywhipple480]

@@bridony225 any brand of processing solution if not redken just make sure the developer or processing solution isn’t anything higher than the 7% volume

@@Mrs.K100you are right. You are accountable for your sins when you die. With all love I ask you - how do you plan to clean yourself from your sins? God is holy and just and cannot let guilty sinners into his presence which is why he humbled himself in the form of a man to live a perfect life and died the death we should have died for our sins. Those who accept his sacrifice will have their sins washed clean. God bless anyone who reads this. “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes the father except through him.” John 14:6
