This is excellent...exactly what i been telling my hairdresser 3 of them & they have no-idea what i want ...I told them i want to blend my gray growth with my salt & pepper hair ...thank you for this

[@morellijeanne]

Would love to see more lowlight toning in various gray levels. Like an all white client needing lowlights .great videos !

[@JamieDana]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@CZebelle]

You have totally given me so much confidence to try hairdressing again. I hope you never stop making these tutorials.

[@JamieDana]

You're so sweet. i'm so happy to hear that these videos have been helpful!

[@jessicaal415]

2 yrs ago I decided to embrace my gray. My lady did the same thing for my hair the lowlights and highlights to blend in the grey. She re did my hair every 6-8 wks. She did a terrific job like you did on this lovely lady. I haven’t seen her in a year because she moved but I still get compliments on my hair. Great video, thank you!

[@JamieDana]

Thats great! Thanks for watching!

[@salmaj8068]

If you use permanent, how do you deal with the grey regrowth? I mean you can't cover the same hairs each time the client comes to get her hair done..I want to do this but I don't understand how would the stylist deal with that? Thanks for any suggestions

[@cj4898]

It was mesmerizing to watch you work. You are a talent. Your narrating was excellent. Results were beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@leetownes1270]

Love the video!! I am a 69 year old black female. I don't like my hair all gray, so boring. Want to add highlights or also lowlights. Love what you did to her hair. I wear my hair short and spikey. Just hope I can find a salon to work with me. Thank you again.❤

Yes. It's lovely. Super.

[@janetpasciak6419]

Why don’t more hair stylists know this method!! Every time I ask for help with growing out my grays they tell me I just have to decide to commit to having ugly color for a while!! Ugg!! So glad I stumbled onto your channel 💥

[@JamieDana]

So glad you loved it Janet. Thanks for watching!

[@laurastorer2843]

What do you recommend to do for a woman who's hair really dark on the ends to the top of head in the back but the front, top and sides are solid white ? There is no salt pepper mixed it just looks like my head was white and I laid down back side in black paint. 😢

[@MsShimmerandshine]

Your channel has literally changed my hair game! Thanks a million!!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear this has been helpful!

[@IndraCorrea]

Im so happy for this video, almost every video about this topic is on blonde hair , i have brown hair and im going natural but had no idea how to blend my hair, Thank you, thank you!!!

[@JamieDana]

I'm so glad you loved the video. Thanks for watching!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much, Tully!

[@istandsure]

I love this! I am just beginning to transition to my natural gray color but would love to have this technique done on my hair in the future.

[@mimhayward9578]

Something I used to do many many years ago, after my apprenticeship.. I became a mobile hairdresser, and often converted many into having a fine lolight, so they could relax with the regrowth. Loved your work though, very enjoyable I watch, and to see such professionalism. Brilliant.. 😊

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that!

[@mimhayward9578]

@@JamieDana always enjoy seeing a job done really well.. 😊 Many can't be bothered to take the time, and want a quick fix, or faster way of doing things, but in my opinion, if it is going to be done properly, especially this type of colouring, there are no short cuts! 👍

[@pom-mom1]

It's mesmerizing to watch you! You are amazing to know the right color, etc. etc., also, I agree about the music, it's hard for people with hearing impaired and hearing aids to hear people talking and playing background music as well.

[@JamieDana]

I've actually made changes to my most recent uploads about the music in the background. Thanks for the feedback!

[@imnana1mac]

It would be nice to see the before and after at the end of your video. I’m impressed with your technique and am sending this to my stylist to see if she can do this for my hair as I’m on the going grey journey. Thanks for posting!

[@cheriedavis1257]

I wish I would have known how much warmth I was going to pull when I got highlights to blend my gray hair. It's really wonderful that you accentuate what people naturally have. Is it possible to re-highlight my highlights and then tone them gray?

[@wealthengineer7259]

That's beautiful. I just grew mine out and cut it into a pixie cut when my path was white and broad enough

[@JamieDana]

Thanks for watching!

[@QuickWorksBeauty]

That’s what I’m doing with my grey hair ...low lights. I really prefer that on me versus the all grey look. Each person is different in terms of how they accomodate all grey hair. A lot of it has to do with skin tone, facial structure, makeup and the color of the grey. My natural grey looks mousy and dull without the lowlights. Thanks for the video!

[@anavalenz9716]

Love it, my hair looks naturally like that but I have a big chunk of white in one side, I definitely will try low lights only on that side

[@cordeliabradley5070]

Love this so much ✨💗Hair extensions can boost your self esteem by giving you added length and volume. My Zalas do this for me, absoltly obsessed with that brand!!

[@cristinafonseca4684]

I did the transition, but I wanted some dimension and also the complete white let the scalp appear, so I completely loved the result!

[@nukya]

You did such a wonderful job! How many visits did it take for the look to be complete? What should I ask for if I want to do this at a salon?

[@JamieDana]

The video was shot in one sitting. I would show them a picture of this!

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

You’re the color master I’ve been looking for! I want to transition slowly to grey. I know nothing about hair coloring but I’ve tried to ask colirists how to look nice w/o looking old lady grey. It has cost a fortune; and I’ve got nothing. The supposedly best colorists, I feel, dont know what to do. Wish I could find you! This lady is beautiful. What I am wanting to do if I can find right colorist!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much!

[@fitleighhill]

Wow wow wow!!! That is the most beautiful head of hair I’ve ever seen!!!!! Great job💜💜💜

Very pretty! ... and holy moly you’ve got a lot of different brands of color in your stock! I’d love to see a vid on what you use and why🙌🏼🙏🏼💕

[@JamieDana]

Thank you for your suggestion Virginia! I'll keep that in mind for a future video!

[@TracyD2]

Virginia Mathews Great suggestion

[@freemusic7421]

Virginia Mathews Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Dinanlinson Bright Colour Approach (should be on google have a look)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to get your natural hair color back minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy after many years got cool results with it.

[@t.s.5206]

This particular color concept looks great on this client! Seems like a brilliant way to add dimension. The truth is "some" people look okay to possibly great with gray hair and some woman really look really unattractive/unappealing with their gray out. People won't tell you the truth, so you have to critically assess yourself. Yes, it may be easier, less bother and hassle, less expensive, but realize people size up a person by their appearance (hair) immediately, for better or worse. Silver usually looks good, but not all hair grays to silver.

[@JamieDana]

Very true, thanks Trish!

[@theotherkangaroo]

Trish, so true! I have finely textured hair which is naturally med/dark ash brown. I have played with the color since I was 16 just because I prefer more diminsion. I now have grey/white at temple/hairline which only makes my hairline look like it's receding! Nobody needs that! 😂 Most going grey women I've seeen on YT went grey really early, so I can understand getting sick of covering it. Many also seem to have thicker hair than I have. I get high & low lights & get the roots colored in between -- prefer the look on me. Costly but I'll continue as long as I can afford it!

[@jamilgotcher5456]

I agree that no one will be truthful on these gray hair grow out reveal videos. All the comments on every single video is about how great they look and blah blah blah. It reminds me of when Rachel convinced that girl to go bald on Friends and told her great she looked like that LOL. I also agree how some women can look stunning with their grey hair and some women just look, washed out, tired and much older with their gray hair. But you'll never see anyone be truthful in the comment section if they do look old and tired with their grey hair.

[@TracyD2]

This is very nice. Something for me to keep in mind should I decide not to cover all my silver. I think I would like like something more chunkier for myself. My temples grow out long and silver like Lily Munster. I cover it still though. Love to see more gray hair ladies or gents.

[@Rahel8811]

Wow so beautiful and I love your precision on the foils and color work superb ❤

[@bluenorma]

I used to have so much fun dyeing my hair, but I stopped during the pandemic and let my gray hair start growing out. I LIKE the gray hair, but I don't like my natural color. Is there a way to make the brown a different color and keep the gray? Is this video kind of doing that?

[@bfavaro1]

Wow, looks amazing and natural!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much!

[@CourtneyBStylisteducation]

They looks great! Question: Are you worried if you low light so many times with weaving out only the previous low lights that the ends will end up all dark? I hope that made sense! Lol.

[@JamieDana]

Courtney B Stylist Good question! Her ends fade enough each time, so I feel comfortable pulling through, but if they felt too dark, I just wouldn't pull through all the way

[@christines6604]

So beautiful, ive started growing my greys the rest is chocolate brown people looking at me funny lol. I was thinking to try this but what about when it fades , what colour does dark go?❤❤

[@tamiz8895]

[@ruthireland-mason8163]

Great job. I'm feeling a little washed out. My question to you is... how to add highlights / low lights to my total gray hair.

[@mikaanderson1690]

Love, Love, Love!! Did you end up toning the rest of the light hair with the Shades formula, or left it out? Thx for sharing!! ❤️

[@JamieDana]

Mika Anderson I didn't because when I rinsed the color, the bleed off toned it pretty well do I didn't need to. But sometimes I do it just depends if it needs it or not 😊

[@TheEvie202]

Her Hair looks beautiful.

[@earnecaldwell1883]

Hi Jamie, great video. My hair is mostly grey, very light at the top. Are you located in Illinois? If not can you recommend a stylist that can color natural grey hair.

[@linalaezza3234]

This is fantastic! Thank you! Do you know anyone in Sydney who you would recommend? I'd love some low lights as I transition! Thank you

[@kkz201]

Thanks for this video Jamie. I have let me grey hair grow in and intend to keep it. Nice to see a technique that helps it look fresh

[@janefarquharson9394]

Fantastic how you transformed her hair with the grey made my mind up to get mins done fantastic good on you and client

[@sparklingsilvers]

Hi Jamie.. wanna ask you does highlights and lowlights work on salt and peppery hair or can be done on hair gray more than 90 or 100%?

[@anavalenz9716]

Hi, awesome job, please tell me how much am I expected to pay to get that done in my hair, it is at the same length as hers

[@tracyg8772]

Excellent technique! Beautiful results!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much Tracy!

[@stephanief4630]

Awesome! I grew out my gray hair for 7 months but it was such a bad grow out cold turkey so I dyed it back to my very dark brown. I’m now thinking of starting to fill in my out growth with low lights instead of full color. Do you think that would work? I loved my gray hair it was just so drastic and the ends we’re getting very orange! Thank you for the great video! You did an amazing job!

How often will I have to maintain this pepper salt technique? 🙏

[@angela2975]

I love your way of doing color. Can you give some advise for my hair dresser how and what color to use for my Gray hair in my front and sides. All around my face the gray comes out 2 days after she colors my hair. I go to her every 4 weeks. I don't know why she can't cover my gray? I always wonder why people like Hilary Clinton and other people who are so much older than me don't show any hair on their sides and front, but mine shows in 2 days at age 50? Please some suggestions??? Thank you!

Hi i am going to do my own lowlites on my greying salt n pepper colour hair. This is the first video i clicked on to try learn what to use & how to use it to do my low lites. How ever i havent a clue what products u are using or were to buy them. Can u be more clear on what products are needed please? I want to do 1 chestnut red brown L/L & 1 violet purple. Do i need to bleac my streaks before hand of can i just colour over the grey?

[@darienjadee]

Hey Jamie, what would you do for your client if they had black boxdyed their hair and wants to let their 100% white hair grow out?

My hairstylist pretty much did what you did but I got no gray results on my highlights-she said she put a toner on of gray but it came out blonde.
