So I watched this on Instagram but wanted to comment - YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@KarenLorre]

Wayne, I have seen that you have commented on a couple women's videos saying how beautiful they are! That is such a beautiful quality - to see beauty everywhere. Thank you, on behalf of all women! And I agree, Nadine, you are so beautiful and fun and funny!

[@kidsinthecastle]

:-) I’m a hairdresser. Not looking awayyyy! ;-) You did a great job. The way I look at it, when someone wants to color their own hair, I’d rather give them proper instructions and suggestions of good products than make arguments for why they need a pro (me) to do it. Have gained and retained many clients by doing that...they still need haircuts, blowouts, and have family members and friends they will recommend. ANYway, Matrix color is my favorite and most effective and Ive used them ALL over the years. If you are covering gray hair however, try the 500 series of Socolor. It’s just like what you are using, called 508N and is double pigmented to better cover gray and last longer.

You sre one brave woman.....hair coloring is a fact of life for millions and now you' ve demonstated your home hair coloring in a video.

[@hipretty]

I don't know how anyone is supposed to get the results they are looking for from a box or even DIY'ing at home from beauty supply products! Your hair turned out beautiful, and I am amazed at your results Nadine! Just looking at 8N in google images, there is such a wide discrepancy of color swatches from all the different brands! 8N appears to be anything from light ash blonde to strawberry blonde!!! I am a stylists daughter and grew up in salons all my life!!! I was a brownish red that became completely ombre naturally in summer sun or holiday, with the palest strawberry ends. I still cannot figure out how to color my roots similar to my original virgin color without going completely orange! The parting is now white mixed with drab, no trace of red at all! Hats off to you!!! 😘💗🙏🌺

[@princesscharlott1983]

Nice to see someone being honest about it! Thank you nadine!

[@iahorvath]

Thank you Nadine for demystifying this for us...YES!! You are definitely right to have told us about this..I've been using the splashy hair dye to do my roots for years and will now equip myself properly...NO, you are not taking work away from the professional colourist because I've been doing my roots myself for years. Now I can do them properly..big thank you to you..you're great!

[@mariamccarron8735]

Thanks Nadine, I'm just starting to home colour as can't afford to go to hairdresser every 3 weeks to get grey coloured and these are much appreciated tips! Your a star

[@Jodiescox]

So much respect for you Nadine. Honest, open, refreshing. I’ve been colouring and trimming my own hair for the last 5 years. Fine hair base 8 also, although I mix three different 8s for my tone as advised by my tony and Guy colourist friend as it goes brassy really easily, but some straight 8 helps cover greys better. Great video, this is what women want.

[@cathb4682]

Absolutely, I'm glad you showed us! 😊

[@bernardetterobinson]

I love this. It’s good to be brave. I bleach my hair and have been doing so for 12 years since I lost my hair through Chemo. I used to be brunette. I’d love to go to a colour like you, light but not platinum blonde as I am now. I’ve spoken to my stylist but she insists I get her to do it at considerable expense, every 2 to 3 weeks. You are inspiring me to have a go at changing my colour myself. I know about block colouring first so my hair doesn’t turn green. But I’m nervous too. I just love how your hair looked after colouring it. Live life! Thanks Nadine. Xxx

[@Yoloddydoddy]

Fabulous! Thanks for being so brave and transparent and sharing such personal, and useful information! A grown-up doing grown-up hair... No bleach or toner, just a refresh of base color. I have dyed my own, not always with success, because I haven't been consistent with product. I think consistency of product is key, and I do like you, when it starts to look obviously unprofessional, I see a professional 😉. You are gorgeous! Your hair looks gorgeous! I don't think you need any color correcting at all! Thank you for such a useful video!! As far as I'm concerned, this is now the gold standard video on KZbin about how to do an at-home touch up. 👏 😘

[@billiej03l]

Fabulous Nadine. So glad you did this video, and gave us links to products.

[@RockeyToes]

Great video! You're right about using the proper tools, it really makes a difference! The only tip I'd add is to do an allergy patch test, always a good idea just in case you have a reaction to the dye or developer. I'm naturally very dark ash brown (Eastern European heritage), 75% gray but when dying (mostly at the crown), I've always lightened (1/2 shade lighter) and added warmth (golden/red). At 52, if I matched my base color, it would be really harsh-looking; my features are naturally sharp/angular and as we age, our faces lose depth and and that youthful glow. Going a touch lighter and warmer adds brightness back to my features and warms my skin tone. At some point, I may stop dying but not ready for that yet.

[@missrockandrolla]

Hi Nadine, thank you so much for doing this video and showing your greys to the world. I’ve recently gone from having 20-30% greys to about 70% in a very short period of time due to some hormonal changes, so I can relate to having to colour my roots every 2-3 weeks. I have done so for years, as my first grey strand made an appearance at 11 years old - I’m 30 now. I usually resort to a spray from Charles Worthington or the Color Wow powder to conceal during my last week, as my hair grows so fast.

[@kostasfilos5472]

Nadine you´re a star!! So down to earth, practical and absolutely gorgeous!!

[@Angela-on6cd]

Oh, I wish I had seen this before I did my own last week. I have now turned copper, the greys still show through and I missed whole sections!! How did you not get a drop of dye on your face or neck line? I made such a mess. Great video. Thank you.

[@mariaworthington5584]

Yes, thank you for doing this. I will try the pony tail technique next time I colour my hair. Your amazing.x

[@patkern185]

I love that you're doing this yourself. With all the access you have to the top people in beauty not only are you doing hair color and cutting at home but you don't mind showing us that you're a real person. I get such a kick out of watching you and get great information, too. My biggest home hair color goof was back in the "frosted" highlight days where specific hairs were pulled with a crochet hook through small holes on a tight cap that fit snugly on your head. Then you applied a bleaching toner on the exposed hair. I had done this several times but one time I decided to multitask and do some cleaning while the product worked. I wrapped my head in plastic wrap so as not to drip on anything. At the specified time I washed it out but because of the body heat I generated it over lightened and my "highlights" were dry, brittle white hairs. Hahaha!

[@kathy-annecarr9115]

I colour my roots all the time - so much more cost effective! I then leave my hair stylist to do the highlights and low lights (every 6 months). Like you I've found that as the root colour fades out it blends quite nicely with the blonder bottom. My hair is quite a bit longer than yours and so I often get my husband to do it for me.

[@SusanGracie]

Thank you so much for making this video. Its not something I have ever considered before but with your support I might give it a go. Thank you for all your great content and for being an honest voice. We need more people like you 💛

[@anniehall709]

You were totally right to do this video! 😊 very good demonstration and open and honest about those pesky greys! I’m so the same but dark and am exactly in your camp of at home root treatment! Who has the time and money to spend in a salon every three weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks Nadine 😘xx

[@janewalsh1201]

Nadine, you do look very pretty. I love your openness and honesty. And your delightful sense of humor!

[@trishk4876]

This tutorial is so helpful. Thank you for your straight forward directions Nadine. Wonderful information!

[@tex1622]

I'm bloody impressed!

[@kimberlyszucs2844]

Thank you so much! I have been doing my own color for about 20 years in between professional colorings and could never do my "parting" very well. You make it look super easy and foolproof so I will definitely be giving it a try. Great video!

[@cheekylibraryon4405]

Fabulous! It turned out just great, so thanks for sharing your process!

[@CarolinaLS1]

Bravo ! I use to go get my greys covered every 2 to 3 weeks and now I touch up my roots. I still go to my colorist but only every few months for highlights. I love not having to worry about making such frequent appointments and can do my hair at my own leisure. I don’t understand why so many women are so afraid to color their hair ! Thanks so much for this great video !,

[@kathleendollard347]

I have been trying to figure this out so thanks for putting it up, I will try tomorrow night my self now xx

[@kayisonyoutube3435]

Excellent video Nadine, you are right the two tone is very natural. Your hair always looks fabulous! No need to hide behind the sofa!

[@SFFogWalker]

At last, thanks to you Nadine, I may finally have the courage to try my own root cover-up. I simply don't have the time or budget to get my roots colored every 3 weeks and home color is the only other option. Thank you for your tutorial and for helping me see that a root touch-up at home is not rock science. I will ask my colorist for my base color and give it a shot, starting with a small section to get my confidence. You're the best!!!!

[@kamhowe9315]

Thx nadine, u really are a brave little star!! U made it look so easy!! Thx x

[@mam564]

Just beautiful! Thanks, for sharing!

[@pammalin9188]

Nadine, thank you! Depending how long this quarantine goes on, I may be doing this. I would have never thought to ask my hairdresser for my base color number, thank you! You made it look easy!

[@TracyD2]

This is the best do it yourself tutorial I’ve seen in a long time. Brilliant with the loose ponytail. All these years experimenting, how did I miss that trick.

[@dianacole852]

Sooo tru

[@naya786_5]

Thank you for doing this video. It covers a topic that many do not wish to discuss...💜

[@JAB941]

Thank you Nadine! Perfect timing, my grey roots are driving me mad. I will tackle them at home now x

[@lindaleef]

If I could give you two thumbs up I would! Thank you SO much for finally doing this for all of us. I’m coloring my roots tomorrow and I’m going to try your technique! Keep up the good work Nadine! 💜

[@kathya4160]

So helpful thanks to you I am now totally loving and obsessed with colouring my hair at home it’s so inexpensive and becoming more confident so yeah thanks so much

[@lolahicks592]

Thank God you posted this Nadine! Never thought I'd be doing this moiself x

[@sarahbutler7504]

Exactly what I do! I can't afford to go to the salon as often as my white roots dictate! Love this video Nadine ❤

[@misiuhagen4926]

I’m ready to try! Thank you so much!!

[@polarsingular]

Nadine. I love you. Thank you for doing this. I color my own roots too and it's so good seeing this for reference 🙏

[@deeradek7471]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's just what I was looking for. I've colored my own hair for years but always all of it at once and am never pleased with the color until about 4-6 weeks later. You did an excellent job of coloring your roots and explaining how. I'm trying it today. Thanks also for the links.

[@CSS-rc6kl]

Loved it - you’re the BEST! Looks gorgeous!

[@strawberry1025]

Thank you SO much for this. The ponytail tip is the game changer for me with fine, fluffy hair.

[@kathleenphipps2532]

You're fierce and it's a joy to watch ☺️

[@kimmytilley5883]

Nadine, this video is BRILLIANT!! Thank you so much for your transparency and sharing such a personal moment to help us make our lives better. So, grateful that you gave us the links for tools to make it look more professional and easier. You are an absolutely gorgeous woman inside and out! I always feel like I'm hanging with a best friend when I watch your videos. You are my go to person for all things, beauty...you're a QUEEN 👑💎⭐️😘💛🌹

[@lilt1317]

Wow, well done. Looks great

[@margod9464]

Thank you, Nadine, for sharing this. I really appreciate you always sharing your knowledge. I do color my roots but you made it look easy and encourage me that I am doing it right.

[@bfrancis117]

I love how funny Nadine gets. How she forget to mentioned the gloves until after. Hahaa

[@ashukurkure1968]

Best diy hair colour video I have seen so far. No one showed such step by step instructions.

[@tpearson6748]

Brilliant! Tried your method today. It works! Thank you

[@karens9722]

Awesome! I do this and my stylist also told me exactly what brand and color to purchase. I only need my full color every few months for highlights. Your helpful tips were excellent ! Luv’d this!

[@queens6583]

I used to be able to go 4 weeks, then do a root touch-up myself and then go to my colorist 2 weeks later. Over the year this would save me at least 3 salon visits a year. Now my roots come in after 3 weeks and after doing my roots, I'm in the salon every 4 -5 weeks. This is by far my greatest beauty expense, but I'm not brave enough to go gray completely. I use the same process as you, but I buy Clairol Root Touch-up which gives you the color and developer and I just mix and apply. Have ever considered going gray? Some women look gorgeous and some look old. I'm afraid to find out which I am!

[@foreverwander0320]

Only Nadine could continue to look fabulous while doing an at-home dye. Thank you for the tutorial! My grays continue to creep in, I’ll need this.😉

[@gabbylafleurdamazonie]

Keeping it real! Love it! ❤️

[@melonmelon7427]

The base colour theory only applies if you keep close to your natural hair colour. I've been dying my hair at home for over 15 years, and bleaching it along the years (successfully may I add) and I have a naturally level 3 hair which I dye to a level 7. The trick is to find a professional hair dye brand able to lift quite well and of course use the right developer but never go over 30 vol, no matter what you do! Lightening hair from a darker colour tends to go orange-ish due to the red pigment in brunette hair so always use an ASH based to balance that. If you take your time and use a quality product you will be just as good as going to a salon

[@elizabethboin1735]

I do my roots exactly the same way you do!! It’s quicker and cheaper! As long as you know your base color you’re good to go. ❤️

[@ChristineCope]

Nadine, you are the absolute best

[@carolyndarling3009]

Always good to be shown what works after trials and tribulations..Great to watch thanks😜

[@OnMyMom]

Thank you so much. I am in USA, California. This will be my first time doing touch up only (usually all over, disaster). You are the only one that showed how to do the back! Thank you! Going to do right now! 🥰

[@positivebeauty5998]

This was the best DIY tutorial I have seen! 👏 I also have to say that this was the most glamorous root colouring tutorial too! Haha 😂 Well done Nadine!! You did a faboulous job! 😊👌💕

[@susanasue]

Listen to you speak is so relaxing !! Loved this video!

[@Makeupgalore1]

I'm doing this today (lockdown). Great video to help. I'm dark so should be able to manage now I know how. Your hair looks great. Very multi-tonal, very very natural.

[@lucrecevonkasm]

Nice work, how fantastic of you to share xx

[@LightingJedi]

Best hair tutorial ever Nadine you are the best xx

[@nessiewill]

Thanks so much for doing this video Nadine!

[@reneeb9021]

It turned out beautiful to me ! 💕

[@kimtreadway8543]

Ty for the tips!! Love your videos and wit!!

[@cocoandblackie]

I'm glad you did this! Thank you! Its annoying that the professional brands are so ... (I don't know what the word is...) They probably assume they are protecting the hairdressing industry but really they are missing a massive market. There will always be times where you want to go to the hairdressers but equally, when you want to colour at home, you want access to the best that is available. Not selling 'professional' versions because they assume people can't read instructions is kind of patronising, its not that different to using a box colour anyway. You end up paying more for inferior product (box colours)... Be interesting to see when these brands wise up and democratise the hair industry like skincare brands are doing atm...

[@ArcturusAndromeda]

I just started doing this at home myself!! I found Wella colour touch which worked quite well. Like you I am 8N naturally, I got 9N for roots but think will try 8 next time, the Wella is a demi permanent so wears out after about 15 washes which is good if you are a beginner at home colour like me. Was pretty happy with the result. So happy for this video Nadine, thank you! Also also that we both have similar har AND skin which makes yiur redommendations work really well for me 😊🙏

[@Izzywizzy74]

I loved watching this!!!! reminds me of home as I am from England too

[@62roxana]

Thank you Nadine, you're the BEST ❤️

[@susanlaffan6934]

It’s fabulous

[@1212aoa]

Amazing job!

[@dlp1044]

You're the best! This may be my favorite video of yours. I didn't know you could buy redken products online if you didn't have a hairdresser's license. I can't wait to try your technique. Just can't see spending $80 to cover my white roots. Thank you for this.

[@ninapatina9630]

Truly appreciate your honesty as not many would do this Nadine. It is brave of you to show us what you do and that is why I respect you. You are not fake like SO SO many to name. Thank you. I would do this too to space the time out from the hairdressers visit. I may try this out as I only use home kits and not separate products. I think the fear is if one goes 'brassy'? I have dyed the odd thing in the bathroom when clumsy! I would like to point out that there are some that cannot go to a hairdressers due to allergies (my sis has become super sensitive to an ingredient in a dark dye and the salon 'fumes' can set her off... can only go blonde)She does have a mobile hairdresser now. Thank you again for this episode. Nina xoxo

[@ellywatson9457]

Thanks for this. Did it. It works!! And saves a fortune x

[@eg7647]

Love this Nadine! I have watched and rewatched and learn something new every time!

[@bongsu551]

Great job, Nadine! I have to touch up every 3 weeks so I understand how you feel!

[@teknitulaspacenoise]

Brilliant!

[@Alypinkflower]

Awesome tips no mess..thnx so much

[@glynisr285]

Looks great

[@jennylinden3226]

thx for great video i have been dying my roots for years and learned a lot tips

[@awilczek80]

I was doing my hair by myself for years. Now I'm going to hairdresser, however I'm tempted.... Plus - it's only hair ;) It will grow back :) that's my philosophy ;) I'm glad that you've done it :)

[@louisajohnson4237]

This was great, thank you for doing it!

[@annsoderberg619]

Finally

[@abundantlife4758]

Fab job well done you.

[@EllaDonna59]

It looks great! My base color is very dark brown and pulls warm so I have to use an ash. But the one good thing is, as you mentioned, greys give you natural highlights. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

[@fiammag84]

I love you immensely. You are truly a wonderful woman!

[@lorisorel6312]

Loved this tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I have contemplated this for ages and you have given me the confidence I needed :)

[@fionaokane5019]

Excellent Nadine, I've also been doing my own hair for years but your video has given me an easier way to do it......thanks and also for the links 😍😊

[@jofrances3296]

Looks lovely 😊 it’s really good ❤️🙏

[@paulinenelson5606]

Nadine.. You have helped so many people, me included ,as next week I have to help a friend colour her hair, when we come out of lockdown. My own hair is so thick I have to have a professional colour but have managed to cut it. God help my hairdresser when she see the job I've done. Your hair is fabulous 💇‍♂️

[@annettebrousseau7332]

During the coronavirus, I'm thinking I will have to do my own roots for the first time in my life as I will miss an appointment. I know my color and will give it a try. Thank you so much!

[@bodyjewels]

Omg..sooooooooo glad u did this VIDEO. I just did this 2 days ago...I use joico 8nn, it really covers the white grey..then I wait a WEEK..and pull my hair thru a cheep frosting cap and use joico xln high lift with 40 v and highlite. Sometimes I will use joico xlb, more beige. Xxoo. It works and saves me 300 bucks. Until I finally get $$ to do it spectacular.

[@Jenny-gu9wu]

Hi Nadine, just about to go into the sixth week of lockdown and my wife was desperate to have her hair coloured - get rid of the grey! She asked if I would do it ( I’m a piano tuner!) She’d bought all the stuff, I watched your video & wasn’t sure if I would mess it up. Just went for it - it’s turned great! Thank you so much. Maybe start a sideline!

[@janiceduerr620]

I am 67 and was getting my hair professionally colored with highlights until about a year ago when I decided to try to grow my hair longer so I could wear it up in a messy bun. Since so little of my hair shows now, I decided to do it myself. I only leave mine on about 25 minutes and then run the color through the ends for 5 minutes to blend it a bit more. Save a lot of money and time. Thanks for sharing how you do it.

[@Truth1561]

Janice Duerr I sometimes run the colour through the ends as well ,but it takes 10 minutes for me .

[@eivindsoerum6445]

You're so funny :) I do exactly the same as you, only I start at the back with a mirror and measure my colour/developer lol. It's so easy and saves a lot of time and money. I only have to do highlights/base at the hairdressers twice a year this way. Great! I also totally agree with you regarding darker roots. I think it looks much more youthful than blonde all over (I'm 52). Bravo!

[@wendydune18]

Love your tips and tricks. You are the one person I can always come back and see. I love that you are real and aren't one dimensional. Your experience is refreshing for those of us that aren't in the 20-30 crowd. I've been doing my roots and color for years. My mom is a hair dresser so I learned it from her. Pony tail trick is brilliant. Now do I go back to my colorist or try your tips and tricks....

[@deliagarza8021]

Love it thanks so much.. i needed the help...the way you section out you hair is so helpful.. thamks again for all info.. 😊
