Thank you for your expert answers and presenting it so politely. I know I personally feel so ashamed when I've made a hair color mistake and I get a hairdresser that makes it worse by complaining about fixing it. You are truly a talented professional!!

[@Ellebangs]

Yay, so glad I could help.

[@buckleyjess]

A lot of people tend to overuse blue and purple shampoos, thinking that they'll extend the life of their toners when in reality they're cutting it instead because the pH is slightly higher than normal shampoos (this is also why people find these types of shampoos to be drying to the hair). Yes, toners start to fade after a period of time, and that is when these types of shampoos should be used.

[@samantarizzi248]

Jessica Buckley I learned something new today! Thanks

[@MegaTinni]

just rinse with water dosed with some vinegar every once in a while and the cuticles will close

[@Purvinska]

I find that conditioner gets rid of my toner. Especially when cowashing in curly girl method.

Love this! Since transitioning to (or trying to) go from full head blonde to a darker shade, ie a pretty, light, soft, and maybe shiny brown, with light pieces, or a red/copper or anything that would suit me other than “full head” blonde, I’ve had nothing but disasters from a few different hair dressers! Despite showing plenty of pictures, despite saying what I like and don’t, despite being kind, courteous and considerate when I go back upset that it’s “orange” or basically looking like a box dye disaster I did myself, (I’ve spent a fortune) yesterday I went back after it was messed up 2 weeks ago, instead of taking up her time to get a quick free touch up, I went back to pay for a service with again the pictures, hoping I would get what I wanted finally!!!! Nope…. I got another box dye looking orangey disaster that I phoned her and started crying today! Now I’m back in again tomorrow for a free colour correction which I hope will finally be a nice pretty colour!! I have heavy things going on atm that are weighing me down and with some important events coming up and for my mental health, my hair looking nice would really help me. What is going on…. I practice positive mind-set so I always expect the best outcome, I am always respectful, I just don’t understand Wtf is going on. Anyone else had/have this trouble. If I went back shouting and writing horrible reviews like some people but I don’t. I just want a good hairdresser that I can stick with 🤬

Hey! i'm hoping you can help me with my hair problems. So long story short one of my cosmetologists friends did a strand test on my hair (after dying my hair since 5th grade a dark brown or red) my hair did not lighten. After 6 months of waiting i finally decided to do another strand test on myself so it did lighten but not drastically its like a med-light brown color, i cant tell if it has a orange tint to it. But if i did bleach my whole head and it comes out looking orange could i still put a light ash brown onto my hair to eliminate the orange? Thanks in advance!

I tried to use a clarifying shampoo it hasn’t helped! what do I need to do to get to a pretty blonde color or at least a normal color this is awful! I started with reddish/blonde hair that was done at a salon

[@Iwykaw]

Hello Ellie, Thank you so much for your videos, I love your composure and class, it’s a pleasure seeing and listening to you. I remember in one of your videos you said that in order to lift hair from level 4 to level 5A you have to lift hair to level 6 and tone it with ash to bring the colour down a level. That makes a lot of sense but I am confused on what to do in case one wants a neutral undertone instead. Lifting one level would leave a warm undertone so would a blue toner solve the issue? Again, wanting to lift level 4 dye into 5N. I would greatly appreciate your reply. Many thanks!

[@elizagonzalez4158]

Love your videos Silviya! I've actually gone copper, level 8-9, with a 6 base and I love it! That was my first time in for a touch up and I'm ready to get more copper, so my wonderful hair dresser can lift a few more pieces to get the result I would like the next time and every third or fourth visit he can lift more if I want. If people communicated better with their stylist I'm sure they're would be a lot fewer disasters! 😂 😂 xx

[@luv2garden132]

Oh gosh, sadly I disagree. I couldn't have communicated more with mine. She simply couldn't get the color of red correct, I faded after a shampoo to orange. I color myself now and I love it! Last summer my daughter wanted platinum. She wouldn't get it to the lovely platinum color, instead it was yellow. She refused to tone, she would only put purple conditioner on her hair and leave it for 30 minutes. Also telling me to have her do this to achieve the platinum she was seeking. I knew it wouldn't, so after awhile when my daughter realized it was never going to be anything but yellow, she let me color it. If she decides she wants to be platinum again, I'll take her elsewhere. That cost a lot of money for her to walk around with yellow hair, a hairdresser that refused to do anything other than apply purple conditioner on her hair.

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

@@luv2garden132 that's not so good for your daughter. I used to colour my hair myself but I've got 2 degenerative conditions in my spine so I'm no longer able to stand and do it.

I have previously dyed my hair a lot with differet tones of box dye and right now I have 3 tones to my hair, a light copper orange from mids to ends, a mid section that's a darker copper brown colour from when I dyed my roots before and then my root colour that's grown in right now. I want to dye it all one colour again and I'm not sure how to go about it to make it all one colour with the box dye I have. Should I lighten my roots with bleach first and bleach bath the darker copper to make it as close to my lightest colour and then dye over it all or put it on my roots, then mids and leave it for 10 mins and then apply to my ends?

[@isobelcrow9145]

Long story short my hair lifted during a bleach bath and I was left with red/orange from roots to mids and blonde ends. Majirel cool cover brought me back to brown but it has shone back bright orange ever since. I attempted toning a test section with the shades EQ 06N which made my hair appear darker but did not neutralise any of the orange. I then followed this with a mix of 06N and 06VB for a similar situation - a very strange toned dark brown with orange shine back! My cool tone level 6 roots are coming in and it's looking worse as time goes on. Hairdressers have been shut for months and I'm stuck - would really appreciate help!

[@marcymiller3287]

To neutralize, use the opposite color on the color wheel. Color doesn’t lift color, so choose a shade or two lighter than your desired result. Here’s an easy way to remember: Halloween, orange/blue. Easter, yellow/purple. Christmas, red/green (ash). Notice each warm color is toned by a cool one, and visa versa. That’s why the 06N didn’t tone, and only made it darker.

[@ladybaabaa3294]

When I had reddish / orange brown roots, I would use a blue / violet-based colour, but it didn't work. It DID tone down the orange, but gave the red a richer tone instead of a cooler tone. Because...violet is comprised of blue and red. RED! NOOOOO! lol. If you can get Redken Shades EQ, maybe try a 6T (titanium, grey-based) or a 6NA (neutral ash).

[@Styledbykurryious]

She said that formula was just for the roots only to tone out the warmth in that zone. If you’re blonde and want to go back to your natural you need to be filled or else the color won’t last.

I was wanting lowlights added and my blondes refreshed with a money piece of blonde I got none of this. She didn’t even know what a money piece was and then for not giving me a money piece she managed to singe the front pieces of my hair.

[@lalauo]

If the hair is at a 10 or 11 and the roots are too warm would you recommend 7N and 8N or still 6N and 7N?

[@ladybaabaa3294]

The darker you go, the more warmth you can remove, but if you are wanting to cut out a lot of warmth and stay a bit lighter or have more of a subtle root smudge, you could go for a 7N and 8NA (natural ash). Lighter, but the ash part would target that warmth.
