How I Box Dye My Hair

[@mlikeafox9365]

I started bleaching my roots during covid as well. Ferria absolute platinum hair dye. My whole life I was told by hair dressers it would damage my hair far beyond what happens in the salon. I have done my own hair with olaplex system, your awesome Coconut oil trick( thanks gal!) about 6x now and it looks better than anytime I had it done in salon, it is healthier, doesn’t cost $240, and I can do it when I want, not on someone’s availability. Most times in salon I have had to go back to get them to fix splotches of missed areas or grey blotches from too much ash toner. This is way better for me! I get compliments nearly everyday on it😊 That being said, I’m a research geek and read a ton of articles, watched videos etc to make sure I knew what I was doing. I also use Olaplex 3 at least once a week. Silver linings with this epidemic, we get to develop(pun intended) new skills👌

[@emmawoodall2417]

Yessss I love this!!!! :) 🖤

[@suzannemaria5594]

Do you use a toner, and if so, what product etc?

[@13Labyrinth]

Did you use the Ferie on all of your hair to get it that light?

[@mlikeafox9365]

@@suzannemaria5594 no toner, olaplex #1 in bleach mix, then olaplex #2 for 10 mins after I rinse, then just the conditioning toner that comes in the box. I also leave it on much longer cause I think the olaplex slows processing time?? I will say that although I have been bleaching and dying my hair for most of my life, rarely blow dry or use heat styling tools, deep condition it once a week so it was and is in good shape for bleaching. If you have dry brittle hair, I would recommend doing a test area to see if it works safely for you.

[@mlikeafox9365]

@@13Labyrinth pre pandemic I was spending $200+ every weeks getting it done in salon so it was already light. But it’s been well over a year now and the roots that I have done with the Ferria is still lighter then the salon job on the ends...

[@clipinqueen]

Your hair came out great. A lot of people probably don't know but this product is a 'creme bleach.' When they say 'lightener' on the box, it is actually bleach. It's a less harsh bleach, though. Be careful in the future of putting it on your already lightened hair, because it will severely damage your hair!

[@itwasallfornothing3664]

30 volume at that too I'm sure!

[@glendaroldan310]

It lifts her hair to platinum blonde because her roots are naturally dark blonde, therefore they lift to that level without issues. If you have black, dark brown, or even light brown your hair won’t lift as light as hers in one application-that or you’d need 30 or 40 vol peroxide with powder bleach.

[@Alaska2446]

What volume comes with the box? Do you guys know?

[@suzannemaria5594]

@@Alaska2446 as a general rule, box dye uses 20 percent developer, to be safe for consumers. Anything higher than that, a person should purchase on their own and mix with bleaching powder. Which is very damaging on darker hair.

[@brianna6906]

When people watch this and their roots are NOT a level 7 or higher, your roots will definitely NOT turn platinum or even close to it (the "inside of a banana peel" sort of color). The only reason a box bleach like this works for blondes is it their roots are already pretty naturally light, (again level 7 or higher). If your roots are darker (typically 6-5 or lower of a level) your roots will turn orange. If that's the case, you're going to have to bleach it with a higher developer that you find in a beauty supply store like Sally's (here in the US) or go to a professional. Hope this helped anyone watching and questioning why your roots didn't come out blonde. :-) (I'm also NOT a hairdresser but I've been a blonde for a while now and through experience this is what I have learned through trial and error!.) Also, love this video Emma, platinum blonde was made for you!

[@emmawoodall2417]

I have definitely made some mistakes before as well so YES thank you for this comment 😂❤️ and thank you :)

[@timschulze4162]

On darker hair you usually don’t need higher developer. You need to apply more and not under saturate any sections. The lighter the hair the more forgiving it is. Higher developer will cause blisters on scalp. I’m a hairdresser.

[@MerryMaraa]

Thank you, i was about to write something like this for the girls that think these box dyes works on every type of hair!

[@brianna6906]

@@timschulze4162 Agreed, I'm no professional by any means, I've just been platinum blonde a few times on and off in my life, my mom has been a colorist for over 20 years and she said the same thing as you.

[@NH-xg8kj]

@BCPxO No it is not true and i am the living proof. ;) My roots are a level 5, real dark brown, it almost looks black compared to my platinum blonde lengths. I use this on my roots and they turn pale yellow (even lighter). When i tone it i have platinum hair. It lifts up to 9 levels and that is for sure true.

Do you put it through all your hair for the last 5-10 minutes or do you just do your roots? It looks fab 👌 my hair is so dull and I was thinking of just putting this through the strands for a few minutes to lighten it ? I get highlights but the rest of my hair is pretty dull unfortunately

[@fightthefairy]

Great video! I use to box color my long blonde hair for thirty years and then went to hair dressers and my hair became ruined… dry.. broken.. frizzy.. and I thought omg I’m going back to me doing it. What is the L’Oréal color you used and name of purple shampoo? Thank you much!

[@paulacelusta4207]

hi! your hair turned out absolutely beautiful. do you still follow up with this routine, or do you see a hairdresser now?

[@icecream_andcookies]

Applying coconut oil isn't necessary all it does is make the bleach less effective. The bleach has to penetrate through the oil first then gets to the hair follicle. Let your hair get greasy (don't wash several days before a dye job) and your natural scalp oils will protect your scalp. Just an FYI. Also a brush will help you with application big time!

[@veesea8889]

I love the smell of Provoke Purple Shampoo 🥰

[@NH-xg8kj]

I do exact the same. My roots are a level 5 and i get a platinum blonde. But my hair isn't as long and strong as yours. Ofcourse i only do my roots but my lenghts won't grow for years, it seems to break of. It has to be because my roots are showing every few weeks.

Just stumbled on this video and like ... damn you’re gorgeous

[@SapphireXBalenciBunni09]

Purple shampoo is my go to and blue. Natural blonde and my roots get honey yellow blonde .. and Sometimes darker golden honey. And the purple will take right on that very spot . And my hair will be absolutely purple and other spots yellow 😩 I refuse to dye it but I really want to ... I'm so annoyed lol I never dyed before but I def would use feria bleach blonde lighter bc I used it on my client and she looked amazing with brown hair .. went to platinum hair!

[@SapphireXBalenciBunni09]

And finally! A girl who doesn't do her roots first lol . Hot roots !!! Smart move. Def get your undenieth first! 💕 But plz let me know how long until you got those roots? Also John Frieda light spray works wonders if your a tanner. Or even use with heat. Or their go blonder collection is what keeps my hair natural blonde about your color but mainly platinum yellow with no roots. So I'm just curious how long you go with your roots like that noticable? 😩 Scared to dye my hair but I'm sick of using all the products to keep it the blonde I want

Have you watched the video at all?? She doesnt do her lenghts at all, only the roots.

Thank you sm for this video. I bleached my hair a few weeks ago from dark brown (I’m a natural blonde but I dyed it a long time ago) and I’ve been trying to figure out how to lighten it more without having to use bleach. 3 bleaches with 30vol and 1 tone and my hair is still very yellow. How long do you leave the purple shampoo in? Or do you just shampoo like normal?

[@suzannemaria5594]

Use a toner like Wella T18 and T14. You mix it with 20 volume developer. I mix the t14 and t18 together ( half and half)

Wow I’m really surprised the color took with all that oil . I’ve had salons wash my hair because they said it was too greasy and the color wouldn’t take

That’s weird. I’ve always been told to come with unwashed hair the greasier the better to protect your scalp. That salon sounds sus.

[@SapphireXBalenciBunni09]

How long until you get roots?? Use a 305 !!! Bleach blonde lighting it's amazing. After you dye how long until you get your roots? And you use the purple shampoo to help with the roots? I use John Frieda lighting spray! It is damaging but I been using since I was 14 and I'm 29 now lol. So idk but I'm curious when you last died your hair bc your doors are really noticable. So I'm just curious 🙂

[@christinamorris5155]

My hair is a dark brown well now it's actually a very light brown almost like a strawberry blond especially when I'm in the Sun it's faded a lot and nowhere near as dark as the picture of me here so I have been thinking about trying to go a platinum-blond I know the best results would be to go into a salon if I could I would do that but I am going to try it on my own do you think that this would give me a blond result I'm scared of having orange patches. I used to have my hair platinum blonde and black until a few months ago when I went dark brown and I'm kind of missing the blond and wants to try to have my whole hair blond platinum blonde. I think your hair looks great and that you do it yourself and you get such a beautiful result that is amazing.🤗🙏

[@emmawoodall2417]

Going from dark to blonde will definitely be difficult! But not impossible :) just be careful with damage and make sure you like soak your hair in dye so there aren’t any patches! But there is a good chance things coukd turn out bad 😂 always that risk when you do it yourself.

I thought using coconut oil was a big No-No because the what the bleach does is actually get inside the hair and stripped the color so if you put oil on top of your hair isn't the bleach just kind of stripping at the oil instead of your actual hair

Hey girl! My hair has always been super blonde, so I’ve never fully died my whole head on my own before. Just my roots!

DO NOT DO this at home. You WILL NOT NOT NOT NOT get these results at home. Her base color only looks dark in contrast to the rest of the hair. She has NO pre existing color on the roots. Her base color is actually light. Why do people keep trying this at home?????

[@DesertBluebells]

Look at her hair while it's wet; it's a melted mess. She's making it LOOK like it's not damaged. It looks like noodles. That means it's DAMAGED irreparably. After a while, most of it will break off. She already said, "it's risky." Her attitude means she doesn't give a hoot if you go bald trying this stuff at home.

ALSO, bleaching hair to that level of white actually means the hair is a split second from melting off. Most people look AWFUL with platinum hair. Embrace your own color; most people look 1,000 times better with something close to the own color. I've never seen anyone who is a fake blonde go back to their own color and not look immeasurably better.

And also, if someone feels beautiful with ‘fake’ platinum blonde, then that’s all that matters !:) I love the platinum look !

[@DesertBluebells]

One more thing and then I will leave it alone, she HARDLY has any hair. I would bet it's mostly broken off. By using products and making it straight she's hiding that probably half of the hair is melted and broken off. Most people add about ten years to their look with platinum hair. It's darn ugly out in natural sunlight and people look freaky without makeup. Please don't do this stupid thing to yourself. People put these stupid videos up to MAKE MONEY. They DON"T CARE what happens to you. There. I'm leaving it alone now. I wish the gal in the video well. It ain't personal. I just feel so sorry for people who try this at home.

[@DesertBluebells]

@Miriam Lopez Miriam, I don't hate her. I think she is a pretty girl. Her videos are misleading to say 'I get this shade from a box dye.' The implication is that it's a single process. It IS a double process, a VERY harsh one. The ingredients are simple included in the box. SHe is using a very harsh powder bleach. Many people will try this double process at home and get orange hair or worse, break much of their hair off. Double processing at home is almost always a good way to wreck hair. It's hard to even find a person at a SALON that understands bleaching well, or cares enough to take the time to not wreck your hair.

[@barbiehodges1915]

I understand some of what you're saying, but you seem a little over the top with your "tone."( Pun not intended lol). But you come across as a little too negative...Just sayin. Secondly, that' is so true what you said about natural light and platinum not looking too good in it. Actually, this is the case with ANY super light blonde colors! Also- the need to wear makeup or you look strange?! Thank you for those reminders. You just saved me from doing the plunge!
