How I Dye My Hair Grey with Wella 050 Cooling Violet!!

Hi friends!! Thank you again for stopping by! About 6 months ago I decided to let my natural grey roots grow. I was tired of YEARS of bleaching, and damaging my hair just to cover up my natural silver strands. The only downside to growing out my natural grey hair is, well....growing it out!! haha It's a very slowww process, and the ends of my hair that are still blonde make me feel umkempt to say the least. To combat the blonde ends, I use Wella 050 Cooling Violet to tone down the yellow. This does not last forever. It fades. I do this every 4-6 weeks while I wait impatiently for my whole head to be naturally grey! I had some requests to show you my process for dying the ends of my hair grey, so here it is! I hope you enjoy it! :)

i am a cosmetologist and you did 110% wonderful job!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lf9341]

I agree! She did a great job!

[@lana6899]

She did it’s beautiful 🤩

[@gypsygirl1485]

Could you achieve the same color if you used a vol 10 developer?? Being that your hair is at a level 10 blonde shade.

[@bobbielesesne7298]

Watched several videos on going grey and yours was the best and easiest to follow. Thank you.💗

[@MegaTaylor24]

WOW, thank you for your experience and you actually look ten years younger! You look great.

[@terrilam8505]

Very good video. You are one of the few people who actually get right to the point with all the details, but without rambling...lol. Thanks, will definitely try your method.

[@brookefenton4107]

This looks gorgeous! I'm starting on my growing out grey journey and this has totally inspired me

[@rosilandgooch5892]

How whould I go about closing my own hair Grey's because my own hair is already grey Okay's and by the way I 💕 Love your hair Okay's I think you really did a good job coloring your own hair Okay's yesss and Aman's 🇱🇷🙏💯🙏🙏

[@GrayWithMe]

I just did this. It turned out amazing. Ok maybe a couple blotches but that was my application that failed. It’s really going to be a game changer for growing out my gray hair. So happy. I am so grateful you made this video. ❤

[@lisaegan7022]

I tried this today and it worked beautifully! Then I went to Sally's to buy more Wella 050 and 10 volume developer, and the girls there asked me how I got my hair color. I told them about this video and they were both really surprised that the 050 works so well without T14 or 18 added to it. Thank you so much for this video!

[@jamieo1592]

Great! Straight to the point, products and amounts used, info tidbits/ pointers, and finished results. Boom, done.

[@hiphiphoogray]

sitting here with this toner in my hair & had a panic moment when it looked purple so this was rly helpful for me. you look stunning btw! the grey has some blue undertones that make your eyes pop- maybe consider a grey-blue bc I think you’d rock it!!!!!

[@IntuitiveCoachTheresa]

Super cool! This is what I've been looking for. I'm going from about your shade of blonde to pretty much all white I think on the whole front of my head to salt and dark ash blonde in the back half. I really just want to go all natural looking over night without having to buzz my hair off, if possible and without spending $1500+ at a salon to do it (ridiculous), so very happy to have found your vid! Thanks so much!!

[@NCteresa1]

Thank you for the incredibly helpful "transitioning to gray" coloring tip. It has given me the courage to try the T14/050 I've had here for a few weeks. I definitely do not want to resume coloring my hair but needed some temporary method to help blend it while my hair grows out. Your video has been inspirational.

[@lf9341]

How is it?

[@NCteresa1]

@@lf9341 The T14/050 allowed me to blend my previous colored hair while transitioning to my natural gray. The 20V developer used with the wella toner did lift/lighten the old hair color while giving it a cooler tone, (which was helpful). It was not an exact match but certainly an improvement over faded light brown hair color. I didn't leave it on my natural gray more than several minutes and later switched to 10V. (The ammonia/peroxide is very drying.) My layered hair is shoulder length and completely grown out after 21 months. Toning the previously colored hair made the process bearable.

[@oh_k8]

It looks gorgeous!!! Your blue eyes are so stunning with the grey hair.

[@Marie_Danielle]

Wow, this is probably the smartest analysis and the best result I have seen from a non-professional. Moreover what you had to correct was not an easy problem. Impressive!

[@angelanichols3923]

Omg..absolutely love this 💗💗💗 your video is exactly what I have been looking for..thank you for posting !!

[@calmdisorderly1939]

Thank you so much for watching!! 💕💜

[@suzetteroberts9072]

I just used this same grey hair dye recipe about a week ago. The 1st result was spotty grey coverage. I applied some more toner and it came out much better. I still see brassy blonde in the back. So... I'm with give it a 3rd application of the toner and purple next week... Hopefully 3 times is a charm. Thank you for sharing... so many youtubers seem to be bragging how they are on a "grey journey" letting their grey hair grow for X amount of time. Blah, blah, blah! God Bless em'!!... However, I'm with you! I would feel trashy like a homeless person with a big grey blob on the top of my hair. Looks like a bird crapped on my head!

[@judylorrainestephens8340]

I LOVE your color! My current color is very similar to your original and I haven't colored it myself in so long I needed a refresher... Great tutorial!

[@5razls]

Hairstylist of 34 years here. Nice colour but, you will NEVER grow your grey out and be able to stop colouring because you’re using 20 volume. 20 volume is lightening the natural pigment of your hair. So when the toner washes off, you’re left with a level 10 warm blonde. Find a demi or semi permanent colour to tone your hair, as it has a low volume developer, anywhere from 4-10 volume, and it will not lighten your natural hair.

[@MsLadyonline]

What’s considered Demi or semi?

[@krissm3851]

like artic fox gray ?

[@artsyfartsystuff4277]

Or simply use 10 developer. As a hair dresser you should have offered her that option. ✌️

[@stellarmarion]

@@artsyfartsystuff4277she clearly wrote to use between 4-10 volume!

[@Usman-Mahmood]

Yeah . I do the same for my beard ​@@artsyfartsystuff4277

[@lorenasoto6905]

Your hair color came out really great. It actually looks a lot better.

[@the_voice_of_reason]

That is beautiful! I have exact the same situation.. natural grey at the top and yellow from middle to ends. I will definitely try this. Thank you.

[@sexyassbrowneyes]

You’re beautiful, and the Jaír came out amazing, thank you☺️

[@clarissaogden3525]

Awesome look.. thank you I’ve been trying to find a way to go natural with my grey also.. I enjoy watching because of your natural country girlish personality instead of some of the “ bubble heads” on KZbin 🤪 Thanks again

[@jamesdelahanty]

I have been wanting to do this for years. I watched video after video, and I was so worried about the ratio of the toner to the 050 addictive. So many showed this certain ratio. When I saw you mix both bottles, I thought, oh no, that's 'wrong'. But I was wrong. It came out great! I think it actually makes you look younger, even before you added make-up. BTW: I tried it the ratio way, and it worked out fine for me. I appreciate you taking the time to post this.

[@karinhowell8169]

She didn't use toner she used 2 bottles of color

[@anacabrera2809]

😊The person referred to it as "basically a additive".

[@seansprincess]

Your eyes popped immediately, I love it. Trying first time, I usually use t14

[@moniprak7459]

Wowww the color looks amazing on you!! Love it.

[@christinastarr4397]

OMG>>>>THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Ive always chickened out...but Im doing it Thursday because of you...you look amazing!!!

[@lovetolaugh35]

i absolutely appreciate this video... its the easiest simplest way to dye hair silver that ive ever seen...... thank you for making it soooo easy to understand.....

[@aprilking6460]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! So I colored a frontal and a bundle using the water color method and it came out great then I had a bundle that first was too purple,then too blue,then too green so I decided too use the Dawn dish detergent too strip it back white as I could get it .I then followed you step by step and that bundle is gouuuurrrrrrgouse😁😁😁

[@swank2196]

It's a beautiful color and you look gorgeous!!! Thanks for this solution to transitioning to gray with blonde ends.

[@queensgirl79]

I love this and I will be trying it today! My grays are basically just like yours and the purple shampoo can only do so much. Can’t wait for it to fully grow out

[@melindat5711]

[@Karla-with-a-K.]

Jeez I feel stupid. I asked in a previous comment how long this lasts and I just watched it again without a bunch of distractions going on around me, and you clearly talked about that. Sorry. 🤦🏼 Again, I’m so, so thankful that you did this, and I love your personality.

[@pafcaf]

Gorgeous! It looks just as good or better than what you might pay hundreds for in a salon. PS your eyes are beautiful :)

[@curiousorange8232]

I did just my bangs and mixed 1 oz of t18 with .5 oz of the 050 my hair came out way too purple .I have tried washing it 4 times so far so make sure you patch test I can feel the potential ! Thank you for this video

[@cindybroussard7080]

Thank you for this video, after watching this video I went to Sally’s got what you recommended. I did my hair , which was highlighted for many years , long story short. I love my hair , all the blond is gone. My hair looks healthy and now it can grow out with out me stressing about having to cut it ..

[@susanyakus7364]

Did you just apply it over your highlighted hair, or did you need to do an extra step? I have short highlighted hair with low lights. TIA!

[@carmenmaritzaalicea7333]

Wow it looks awesome now I know what to do when my gray takes over

[@vicki4370]

[@calmdisorderly1939]

1906780 yes!! You’ve already gone 2 months, might as well go w little longer! 😉

[@jumpinggakflash2313]

Wow! That looks so pretty. I have the same situation with gray I'm growing out and blonde on the length. I have T18 and 050 that I was going to mix together, but maybe I will just use the 050 instead.

that color looks great with your eyes ! You go girl...

[@elizabethrodgers-moore230]

It turned out pretty. Good job girl 🌹

[@galadriel511]

You are beautiful and the gray is awesome!!! I was very depressed after bleach processing my hair, and then using a metallic silver boxed dye only to have it fade out within 2 weeks. I was so disgusted with the color after it faded because it was more of a brown so I stripped the color out with vitamin C. I have considered getting a buzz cut and wearing hats and wigs for 2 years until the natural gray grows long again. -After watching your video I have hope that I can fix my color issue. Thank you.

[@calmdisorderly1939]

galadriel511 yes! You can do it! Butttt, this does fade after 2-3 washes too. ☹️ I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you thought it would last longer. Also, try 10 volume developer!! It’s a new way I started doing it that gives the same outcome but with less damage to my hair! ♥️♥️♥️

[@rachelsmith9722]

You could check out a toning conditioner, like overtone (there’s a brand I can’t think of that’s available to Ulta too) to gray it up more.

[@lauraoliver525]

Elizabeth Soto thank you! 🥰

[@belleraychel]

I love it! Absolutely beautiful. I'm going to go short (pixie)in a couple of days and he is going to strip off the remaining brown on top to match my all gray. 😳 Wish me luck. It will be pretty much pixie which I'm okay with it. I tried a bob first (last week) and was going to let it grow but I just decided get rid of it. I want some length on top so that's what he will be stripping off. I'm old and should have embraced my gray 8 years ago but corporate world can be ugly. No worries about them anymore Thank God!

[@CrazyBrandonComic]

Thanks for this I’m going to add this to T18 been seeing videos of the 050 and looks great now I’m able to get an idea of what to expect

[@ddsmith6134]

I am a natural brunette and have been grey for years, but just on my crown. In 2020 I decided to go all grey but slowly, so my hairdresser started the process of bleaching my hair - to the point that I was blond and I hated it, I'm a brunette after all, and when I looked in the mirror all I saw was orange hair (when I see pictures I don't even know it is me because it was a beautiful blond color). I hated the blond so much that I decided in March of 2023 to stop coloring my hair and just go grey naturally. Almost 6 months later, I have about 3 inches of new growth and it is black and grey, and I love it. I recently asked my hairdresser if there was anything that could be done to get rid of these blond ends (after I cut 3 inches off at my appointment and an inch at the prior appointment). She actually told me no, I'm super bummed that she said this since I have been doing research for the past 6 months and knew that I could. Before bleaching my hair, I colored it myself using Wella products. This video has inspired me to do it again. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out!

[@ProtectedDivinely]

I'm happy with the results... thanks for sharing 👍

[@crackerjack4u]

Your hair turned out really pretty. Thanks for the video. I'm actually getting ready to do the same myself.🙄😮 My hair is bleached to platinum blonde, but is currently covered by medium blonde Demi (looks med brown), that I'm getting ready to remove it without using bleach. (lol I hope). I have no idea how far down my grey has reached since I've had it covered with Demi for about 2 years now, so it could be very interesting. I attempted the grey transformation when I initially bleached to platinum, but my hubby was very ill and later passed away, so it was too hard to try to maintain it during that time, so I just put the Demi on it. Before that though, the toners would show up on my hair as blue, green, purple, pink, and some would just completely mud out when mixed, so I never really found one that worked for me. I di trying mixing the 050 with T18, T14, and Pravana Silver, but it seemed to just mud my hair color out. I've never tried it by itself so I'm hoping that's going to be a better option. At nearly 60 yrs old, I really don't like the young kids colors lol on my hair for even a few washes, but finding a true silver/grey toner that didn't do that wasn't easy. Have A Wonderful Day/Night!
