[@b_jean755]

I definitely wanna try this. Cause once my blue and purple starts to fade i wanna go back to brown, but idk when that will be. So do you know how long your link for the $10 first box will be for??

[@TheElevatedHome]

It stays active as long as I’m a subscriber (I pay for this one and I’m not an affiliate) and I am not planning on ditching them any time soon. I love them!

[@b_jean755]

@@TheElevatedHome awesome. Im 100% trying this once these colors fade out. I already checked it out and i seen a medium deep chocolate golden brown that I really like. 😁 Are the bottles normally big enough to do a whole head with just one ? Cause normally i get 2-3 box dyes from the store when i do mine.

[@TheElevatedHome]

Bailey JeanTheJellyBean actually the first time they send you enough dye to cover it all and it would still be $10. I got two. The. The next few rounds are single bottles bc imyoull do just your roots and then a wash down the rest while in the shower. If I change my color then they send two bottles again to be sure my whole head is covered! They’re really beyond accommodating and it’s part of the reason I have stuck with them so long.

[@b_jean755]

@@TheElevatedHome wow i cant believe i havent heard about this before now. I am 100% trying it cause i definitely spend more than $20 when getting just the normal box dyes. Cant wait to get my first box and continue from there 😁

[@nikkietzel3737]

I have been an esalon member since 2016. I used to spend over 100 bucks a month on my hair.. but now 20 bucks every 6 weeks. A pro tip is before you color your roots, dampen your ends and put conditioner only on your ends.. that way you dont accidently color your ends making them darker and uneven. You're welcome! ;)

[@tammybrown4901]

Thanks love this tip

[@tammybrown4901]

ABSOLUTLEY LOVE IT

[@tammybrown4901]

Appreciate it thank you

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I’m going to do that in the future, thank you… I have blonde highlights but do my roots myself, and go to the salon 3 times a year to get the highlights redone. When I section my hair to do my roots the lengths get tangled all around as my hair is so fine, I’m scared some root color will end up on the highlights. Dampening and putting on conditioner is a genius idea!

[@rachelreyes4128]

The actual coloring starts at 7:40.

[@cathyd1282]

I have a pixie cut and feel it's highway robbery that my stylist charges $150 to color my hair, I could stomach that when I had a bob (kind of). I have been binging on YT vids showing esalon, yours is great. Im ready to pull the trigger:) The color of your hair is beautiful, really brings out your eyes! Thanks for a fun and informative video.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I hope you did the eSalon, with a pixie it will be so easy for you to do your own color it’s a no-brainer!!

[@HarmonyQueHolm]

I have also been using esalon for almost a year now. I just did my roots a couple days ago. I feel better knowing I am not the only one that gets it all over my face, cheeks, & neck. Thank you for sharing that & doing this video. I am preparing to do highlights for the first time on myself in many years. I am quite nervous about it. So the highlight video you did was very helpful as well & turned out amazing! So I got this! Thank you again!

[@saveamerica2896]

This was the perfect video I needed. I also can't stand sitting in a salon and the cost. Plus they never do what you ask even with a photo. Thank you

[@Kpink452]

Thank you for this I have been colouring my hair for 35 years blond and now we are in isolation just got my root pack from Esalon I have short hair and not done it myself before . Fingers crossed but yours was so helpful wish me luck

[@summersky50]

Omg! So happy I watched you do this before I ruined my highlights again. Love eSalon but I learned a lot to improve my technique from you. Your video is awesome and your hair looks beautiful!

Love eSalon, I use them for my roots and to get toners. My husband does the back sections for me, he doesn’t mind at all! He knows I’m saving a pile of money using eSalon, so he’s happy to help. I showed him a few how-to videos and he was all set. I’m a klutz so there’s no way I could do the back and not touch my blonde highlights 😂😂

[@tammybrown4901]

I absolutley love the results

[@miyeko79]

So pretty!! I’ve been wanting to do this exact look-can you tell me what you chose…can you do your own balayage?

[@lizspringer8070]

My issue is that the lengths of my hair absorb the root color when I'm rinsing it out. Any help or ideas for that would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@jetv1471]

Great video ! I’m with you on not enjoying the hair salon time … I often leave wet … I may try this . But right now my color is all over the place and think I should get it to more natural hair .. I have lots of bleach damaged hair from messing around with blue fashion color this summer 🤦‍♀️

[@starsunmoon30]

You got really lucky getting the correct color to match !!

[@olieramirez.823]

I love it so pretty yey!!! I also do my hair, & I use 3 applications, i do have a lot of hair.

[@TheElevatedHome]

I’m fairly certain that they don’t charge for more dye. When my hair was longer they would send two while kits for the same price as just one to be sure my whole head is covered. Then they send root touch up ones for a few and then back to double bottles again. I’m not an affiliate or anything for them but I’m sure I could still ask for you if you wanted!

[@sharroon7574]

Did you do a balayage video? I really want to learn😊

[@21taffygirl]

Thanks for this video. I am going to try to color my hair at home for the first time because of this "stay home" happening because of the pandemic. Did you use the standard 20 volume that came with the kit? Did it lighten your hair? I want to dye brown as well but don't want to change my shade to a lighter one. Will 20 volume lighten it or just help with the gray coverage? Any thoughts would be appeciated!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

ESalon doesn’t have a ‘standard kit’ they work with you to develop the exact type of products you need. For example, my root touch-up subscription comes with a 15 volume developer and my toner subscription comes with a 10 volume developer.

[@kimberlysmith7793]

It turned out great!

[@julielytle294]

Great technique for doing the back of your hair. That's what I'm trying to figure out. ; ) I tried eSalon and liked the coverage but it turned my hair too red/orange and after three tries I moved on to Naturtint, which works better for me. I still use the eSalon highlights though and I also use them on my daughter's hair. Highlights run $200 in our area and I can't pay $400 a month for highlights. Thanks for the informative video!

[@lorihooper4037]

First of all your hair looks magnificent! II you mentioned Bailey sarian! I love Bailey!

[@gillianmccullough1276]

Great vid! Did you just rinse the roots with clips in hair or do you remove clips and rinse root color all the way through to hair ends? First time coloring my roots without losing highlights. Thanks

[@ALT-vz3jn]

You have to take the clips out once your timer goes off. There’s a second pair of gloves in the color kit; you put the gloves on right before you get in the shower. Once you’re in the shower you wet your gloved hands and you massage your roots where the color is for a couple of minutes. You’ll see the color will start to get a bit sudsy. Then you rinse and shampoo/condition with the eSalon shampoo and conditioner packets provided. After shampooing you can take off the gloves if you want, since the excess color is rinsed out your hands don’t risk getting stained. There’s plenty of shampoo in the packet (it smells nice, like apples), but I like to shampoo twice after coloring to make sure i didn’t miss any of the color residue on my scalp; so I have a gentle non-stripping shampoo on standby for the second wash. Then I use the eSalon conditioner packet. I have long baby fine hair and there’s enough conditioner for my needs, but I think someone with long thick hair probably would want to use more conditioner.

[@user-yr9vg8cr3l]

Thank you Chrissy! 🌹

[@resourcesedu1676]

[@bonita9832]

Hello, I've been wanting to try esalon. What color did you get? it looks great.

[@TheElevatedHome]

They'll actually customize the formula for you based on where you start and where you want to be but I told them I want Dark-Medium Brown, Slightly Golden. I do NO want any red shift or undertone at all and so my formula looks like it is 80% brown tones and 20% golden tones.

[@sophiesanchez5558]

U did a good job😍😍😍😛love it💙💙💙

[@RockstarRochelle]

Ok, I’m totally trying this. Thanks Chrissy...as always your a life saver 😁

[@elizabethvalenzuela7379]

How did you rinse off color without it touching the highlighted part? That’s where I’m stuck! Help!!!

[@LisasLifeThenandNow]

Do you have a video of you doing your own highlights with e-salon? I would love to do that, but I’ve messed up my hair years ago too many times to try that with some random box from the grocery store.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Yes she has one. It’s older than this video.

[@beautyandmorewithrenee]

That looked so easy to do, I might have to check it out

[@christinakis7265]

Please show us how you styled it☺. It's gorgeous.

[@kaybae2420]

How do you rinse without the root color going onto the lighter ends?!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

ESalon gives you a second pair of gloves in the kit. Once your timer goes off you put the gloves on just before getting in the shower. You wet your gloved hands and massage the color that’s on your roots for 2 minutes, being careful not to spread it to the lengths. Then you rinse and immediately shampoo and condition. I always shampoo twice after I color to make sure there’s no color residue in my hair. Also, I have used eSalon’s purple tint on my lengths after coloring my roots. It’s a product you use after shampooing but before conditioning. I do that to neutralize any possibility of color having gotten on my blonde from the water. Maybe it’s pointless but my roots and highlights look lovely when I’m done. The eSalon Tint works amazingly well against brassiness.

[@sk8tergurl1228]

I'm just like you, I get white hair in my roots a lot! I get that wonderful skunk line lol Also, for me, it takes 4-5 days to get somewhat greasy hair, my hair is so dry no matter what I do

[@tammybrown4901]

I do too

[@audrinar4809]

I kind of wish there were before and after pictures. I know there was a nice difference but it wouldve been helpful to see it side by side like to see the contrast. No offense at all either, it looks gorgeous and you did a great job explaining everything😊

[@TheBandoury]

I need to color my root once a month, when I apply the color (which is dark brown) I only touch the new roots, the problem is when I wash it, it ruins my new highlights and make them darker. It has been a huge stress for my hair having to highlight it often to keep the highlights bright. Any tips.? This is what I tried :wetting , conditioning, shampooing the other part of the hair before rinsing the color off. Nothing worked.

@@madelineannabella3284 When I called E-Salon about this, all they said was just to be sure to color the new growth only and the highlights will still be fine. I still need to find somone who needs their glasses to color and how they do it!

What is your base color?

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Having a helper is the key if you’re worried about not getting a good result. Even a young teen can help, I remember going to my neighbor’s house to dye her hair when I was 14 😂 I do the front and top of my hair to the crown on my own, and my husband does the back sections for me. I’m saving so much money using eSalon, when my salon charges me $175 plus tip just for roots and a cut😩my hair is baby fine and I just get trims, so a cut on me takes less than 10 minutes... Now I go three times a year to get my highlights redone ($400 with the tip, OUCH) and the rest of the time I use eSalon for my roots. My hairstylist hasn’t complained, and she hasn’t had a hard time highlighting over the eSalon color, so that pretty much shows it’s real salon-grade color.

It will not go on your highlights just washing it out. My hair dresser does it every time I just get a color on roots.

[@julimaxwell7816]

@@robinlages6673 your hair dress rinses out the scalp first, and the color doesn't touch the blond until it's almost all rinsed out. Every time I do my own roots this happens. When my stylist does my roots she can rinse "upside down", if that makes sense.

PLEASE HELP!! I , as well as others on here have a question that nobody can seem to answer. I have really long layered dark brown hair with soft blond highlites. My roots need to be done every 3 weeks . I get my highlights professionally done and it costs a lot of money. Every time I do my roots it messes up the highlights I just had done. It messes up the highlights around the top and sides, ( face framing highlites). It ruins them . What can I do to keep this from happening. I really can not afford money and time to go to a salon every 2.5 to 3 weeks. I am already spending hundreds of dollars on product, keratin , cut and highlights. Any advice? PLEASE? ANYONE? Ps. I use sulfate free shampoo only. And I use professional Matrex color . I have been asking this question for years and nobody has an answer. Thank you in advance, Maddie. P.s.
