How To Fix AND Avoid Orange Roots

[@menposed]

Coming from a fellow stylist... Best video on KZbin for this problem hands down!

[@ninas8360]

I have a question!! If you are going lighter on the root with hair color and not bleach , if u been going alittle lighter per session there’s going to be a band from say your natural “level 4” how does adding a lighter shade each time fix the “ warm tone “ from the root if ur only touching up ur roots and not the bands from going lighter ? New stylist here!!!

[@jsavannah]

I had 3-4" of ugly warm banding from level 8 tint touch-ups on my naturally ashy level 6 hair. During quarantine, I followed your previous baby lights and toning tutorials (which is what you are explaining in this new video.) It completely fixed my problem! I only wished I had discovered it sooner because I hated that warm outgrowth. I'm sorry to see what has happened to your industry this year. You are a very good teacher and I appreciate your efforts to show us DIY.

[@CanDoesIt]

I'm so glad you did this video. Thank you so much. This is actually a really big problem for alot of people. I have been to the salon so many times and they still can't fix it. It's crazy because I have been told so many times to "bring inspo pic" and even when I do I still get some weird variation of red blonde with golden blonde highlights here and there. It's just annoying!!

[@LionessofGod]

I thought it was just me.

[@melodyvoss]

You & I must be going to the same lame hairdressers!! I've been to high-end salons down to Aveda beauty school with instructors overseeing the foils. The only time I actually had a successful foil (had bands that she fixed the next day) was after the second foil... BUT she bleached 45 minutes on top of highlights she's done the day b4 & all my 'money pieces' broke off over the next month. But I looked 'freakin awesome' for the next month... & then just 'awesome' into I had 8 months worth of roots. I was too scared to have it messed up again. But another hairdresser did! Level 8 ASH is my enemy! Makes my hair color look like dirty saw dust color.

[@angelas.9717]

Same...!!!!!!! Four hairdressers in NY. Three in Connecticut. Nobody *ever* gets it right. Never.

[@CanDoesIt]

@@angelas.9717 I recently went to a salon who did an amazing job. In fact they don't even use purple shampoos because they lift hair so amazingly. I was blown away. In fact they recommend against using purple shampoos and just concentrate on getting the lift right. Then follow with the correct toner or toners then maybe gloss. I bring up the purple shampoos because all of us blondes are told to use it like it's the saving grace and it's not. It always leaves my hair looking metallic magenta or gray. I had a great experience and have been getting compliments non stop!

[@jodiengelman2633]

I am In ugly warm hair hell!!! I will bring this to my hair dresser and pray :) I wish I could just have you do it

[@MegGyver1]

I am totally comfortable doing this and have been retouching my own highlights since March, but what I haven’t found is a Demi gloss that even comes close to shades EQ for toner. What toning product available to the public do you recommend? The wella toners (that are really permanent color) blow my level 4-5 base up and turn it orange even when I use 10 volume.

[@ellamierrose1812]

Because most of us are doing more diy hair stuff I wanted to mention that there is this trend of using baking soda with peroxide as a "no damage" lightening solution. So, I tried that a few months back and while it Did lighten the hair it was very harsh and it was very damaging. I ended up having to cut about 2 inches off my length and then dusted to get rid of all my fried ends. Not to mention that I had to shampoo my hair and rinse multiple times to get the grit out of my scalp and hair. It was just a nightmare lol stick with bleach imo! Thanks for the video, I trust your advice and you look stunning as always! 💗

[@Tanacarroll]

I just went to Ulta and paid $190 to get my brown grown out roots highlighted and this is exactly what happened. My hair is more orange than blonde. I don’t like it but I don’t like being a complainer either. It’s been two weeks and it appears to be getting more orange over the last two weeks. I just wanted my bit of gray and my dark roots lifted to blonde like the bottom bc it had grown out a lot with the covid lockdown. I guess I should call and see if the guy will make it right. First time this has ever happened. Not sure why this happened? 😢

HELP! I went from virgin dark brown hair to a heavy amount of bright blonde highlights a few weeks ago. I loved it. However I had to get it retoned because the underneath was several shades lighter than the top. After she retoned it and dried it, the blonde now looks like a brassy dark blonde or brown. I hate it.

[@sarabara29]

Yep, especially for us level 6-7ish blondes! It’s so hard to get gray coverage at that level that isn’t guaranteed to fade to an unflattering hue falling somewhere along the spectrum of the Lori-Vallow-Prison-Garb-Orange family of colors! Speaking of her, fun fact for y’all: Child-Murdering Cult Mom Lori is actually a hairstylist herself, originally from San Bernardino! Which is Reason #456 I find her 2000’s-era mahogany-underneath-blonde so curious!) 😂 In all seriousness though, I’m wondering if using a Demi-Permanent line known for at least a moderate amount of gray coverage (perhaps L’Oréal DIA Richesse or Redken SEQ cream?) is a better solution for tiding over those of us with less than 50% grays, who can no longer get away with just a head full of foils...thoughts??? I just feel like permanent color on my type of hair is always going to fade to an unflattering color, to the point that we need to figure out a way to address that warmth strategically, rather than always having to do corrective work once those between-the-foils sections inevitably fade to yuck. Wouldn’t refreshing the base with a Demi every 4-6 weeks ultimately be easier on the hair than using permanent and then having to correct the tone every time anyhow? Would love to hear any insight you might have Sylvia, since I know you specialize in blondes! 💛

[@moniqueflowers8976]

I call most 7-8’s the no color zone, for it lacks depth and light! I either mix 1/4 of a #6 and the rest 3/4 #7 20 vol. same is true with your reds, don’t ever put straight red color with 20 vol on the roots aka the heat zone . mix 1/4 red to 3/4 brown or blonde. That way you don’t end up with “Hot Roots”. Or you could use 10 vol with your 7’s and/or use Shades EQ Demi put cap over it and under the dryer for 20 then take cap off and let it sit for 20 more mins for gray coverage. It’s ok if the roots Are a bit darker, especially now!

But how do you lift the roots without touching the rest of your hair for an even deposit that will lighten the roots by a little and darken the rest by two more shades?

[@MiyuTheFallenAngel]

Do it as close as possible and the bleach will swell a bit. It will get a bit on the other but when it’s all down and together you won’t notice the small change. So long as you seeing doing one stright line and a huge glob your going to be fine.

[@victoriacyocum7007]

@positiveenergy8888, love your comment. Just saw this! I wonder if the root tap is used to neutralize red/orange in the natural base color while diffusing the lines between the highlights and base and giving a “background” and dimension for the blonde to pop. I think it may also be a preference as I have had clients favoring a root shadow and clients who did not. Great discussion. Open to your thoughts.

[@bperez8656]

If you don’t like it it’s A. Personal preference and that’s normal B. Potential ignorance on your part about how natural color works Your natural dark color probably would look horrific with blonde attached to it, but shadow roots are Perfectly pignmented to look like natural blondes Most natural blondes have a brown shadow that grows into light blonde…. When you do a blocky bleach job you end up looking like a fake blonde But if that’s your preference then go for it

I would use 10 vol instead of 20 vol developer. The lift delends on the volume, higher more lift and lower less. And if you want to diminish the warmth try 7AA OR 7NA PERMANENT COLOR

Thank you so much for these videos. I know my hairdresser is so very good, and just a real sweetheart. We have been struggling with my roots pretty much 3+ years though. I am almost 50 and a natural mousey brown, I always pull red. She has gotten me super light blonde, but I have a lot of damage now, even with olaplex. I’d say mid to ends. She does not over lap, but I went once to a closer salon and the baby highlights the lady did all over obviously overlapped even though she promised she wouldn’t. Anyhow, I stopped the highlights with my girl and have just been getting root touch ups to cover my grey. Religiously every 5/6 weeks.I can’t understand why we/she can’t get them to be a chocolatety brown.? Seems like sometimes they are and other times they are so orangey. It kills me to leave feeling so orange and all the time and cost ☹️ She has been having a hard time with COVID/young children etc so I have purchased product pre measured from her once. It turned out lovely when I did it🤷‍♀️ my last visit I had to go to a coworker and it looked great when I left, but after one wash bam orangy again. I’ve been using purple shampoo once a week to try and hide. I feel you can help with a formula that will work for me, after watching this particular video I see your hair looks just like mine did before I starting going grey. How can I get a consultation please?

[@MegaTinni]

I can not answer everything, but you will want blue shampoo to correct orange (and green shampoo to correct actual red)

[@MrzBadaBing]

MegaTinni is exactly you need a blue shampoo for brassy hair more for brunettes and purple is for light blondes . I wouldn’t use them too often maybe once a week because it can dry the hair . Use a good color safe shampoo and conditioner don’t wash hair everyday ... try 2- 3 days . Update all hot tools . Use heat protectant every time you put heAt in your hair I highly recommend “it’s a 10” leave in spray and the deep conditioning treatment so worth the money and will help you hair . Get a shower filter if you have hard water it will wash out your color and the minerals can give that brassy look . I’m a hair dresser and I work where there’s a a lot of hard water and anyone with it I always notice their hair always brassy and super dry . If you do you need to do a hard water treatment I recommend the brand “malibu “ find a stylist who has that type of treatment first and then do your color . What level are you ? I always used redken cover up for grey coverage and I find them being pretty neutral it covers really well and their ash tones are pretty cool toned . I usually mix an NN and a NGB to my mix cause sometimes you need the gold because the NN can look a little dull. But it def helps with the coverage and keeping the warm tones under control your stylist was probably using a color with too much warmth in it . she needs to neutralize it using an ash tone like blue which neutralize the orange and give you a neutral color. Also maybe she’s using to high of a developer and lifting too much of your natural hair color which exposes even more warm tones I would use 20 vol .

[@rain3743]

Because in order to completely cover gray you have to use a permanent color, (There are exceptions) which opens the cuticle more with either ammonia or another lifting derrivative, and exposes natural warmth. ALL hunan hair pulls warm. When we go gray the Pigment leaves the hair, so the natural has to be put back in to cover. The more natural you need in the formulation, the less ash (cool) you can add in. It depends on your percentage of gray in the hair. (25%? 50-100%?) Once you go permanent it's a different game and you fight the brassy banding that comes with it. There's more to it, but just know it has to do with the permanent formulation and the % of gray in your hair. It's not your stylist's fault that the roots go brassy. The toning shampoos can help but they can also over tone your brightness on the mids and ends. J switched to Chromatics for my own permanent because tbeir mix ins really cooled it down. I could put in a 9N and add some violet to counter the warmth. If you're darker, sone blue can be added to to combat the orange. I also use Guy Tang's Ni series because it's a cool, ashy permanent right out of the tube. I can also add his shadow ash to the mix and it's gorgeous.

I love your videos I recently went blonde and your information is so valuable I’m so thankful for it!

[@susanhill5958]

Is there any way you can recommend a place that knows what you know?

[@BrendaGarcia-rc3mr]

Seriously I just paid $175 and not even a month in and it’s orange makes me so sad! First timer too so it makes me very sad she did that to my hair!

[@susanhill5958]

@@BrendaGarcia-rc3mr it’s awful to pay so much and trust someone! I paid over $300 last time it makes me sick!

[@martaperales163]

Just want to comment that Sylvia makes VIRTUAL Consultations.. So you would get the BEST, she would see YOUR hair and make recommendations. I think she gives out her information in the info box. Yes, I just checked, she tells you how to contact her. Check the info right below the video.

So I'm a blonde (level 8 or 9), and I want to go balayage and have my roots darker (dark mushroom) without being orange. I'm cool skin tone. What shade should I be buying at Sally's? Would a 6 work... like 6A? Ash, beige, or neutral? Also, can I put a toner on the darker parts, like the roots? I just bought wella T18 & T27 for the toner.

[@Justpinklady]

Would the red neutralizer ruin my blonde balayage ends if I would to use it on my whole head? Or should I just keep it only to my roots and red spots close to the balayage?

[@nuevoprojecto-mujerajena1896]

Awesome! Explain root tap better-color only without developer? Did you put root tap and tone with wet hair?

[@katttham]

I went lighter . There's this product they used on my hair. Im not sure if it's the shampoo, Conditioner, or the toner. It made my hair really soft even after shampooing for weeks. Is there a product you suggest that is the closest to what they used?

[@CS-hy6es]

looks easy and this video is very helpful thank you for the up close only I thought my roots were too dark to do baby lights 💯

[@judybrown9110]

Love your hair!!

[@jardinduluxembourg2197]

But what you are doing is a DOUBLE PROCESS (Bleach on top of Color) which is extremely harsh especially for fine denier hair which will only lead to breakage. If you want platinum blonde and your base is dark color won’t work. What’s worse darker blonde or damaged, fried platinum blonde hair that is so fragile and broken that you have to wear extensions (which btw, also cause more damage)?

[@apenamer3578]

I have recently dyed my hair at home the color came out well but the roots hair is quite lighter and orangy or yellowish color from the rest lenght of the hair how can I correct it.. Do I need to color the roots again with the same color to make it even or what should I do ???Please reply hehehe I cant go out with this color on my hair🤣🤣🤣

[@kmsch986]

Sounds like you got “hot roots”, Brad mondo has some good advice on that. If bleaching all over, apply bleach to roots last. To correct - if they are lighter than rest of hair you could do the root tap technique she mentioned with the correct toner from shades eq to tone the orange. I am not a hair or salon person at all, have just watched a lot of videos bc I did the same thing by accident after quarantine 😂. Good luck

[@eado]

This is exactly my hair problem, however I didn’t use colour. Lightener highlights, then 6n shades eq toots and 10n ends. I think I just took my lightener off SLIGHTLY too soon and finding it hard to cover this warm root

[@gaildeberardinis5756]

What brand hair color do you recommend to cover gray?

[@Minding1111]

Does she have a list of products . I want to try this

[@firstnamelastname9485]

Excellent detailed and specific explanation! Thank you!

[@JaneSmith0709]

This was so helpful! I've been looking all over for advice on how to effectively color brunette hair without the orange. I'm wanting to go neutral blonde on my lengths and ends but a 6 on my roots, so you're saying I should lighten my roots to an 8 to achieve a 6? Or can I just lighten my entire head to a 9?

[@navatombing]

Thank you very much. Where i can buy those products? International shipping

[@MsTommily]

Great video but i'm still wondering... within a few weeks the toner washes out, and then you're left with the lift you had underneath, and there cones the brass again. So is'nt that the same problem really?

[@teebz5739]

Can anyone help me - I'm doing a semi-perm shadow root at home of level 7 after bleaching to level 8/9 on my natural level 3 roots, which works really nicely but wondering about maintenance... will the semi perm fade so I can then bleach my natural roots when they grow and start from scratch or do I need to slightly over lap bleach onto previous shadow root? Im not sure how much it will fade yet. Any advice greatly appreciated :) Thanks!

[@sundayrosess]

this is a great way that seems very easy for at home

[@krandly8]

wait when you are doing brightening at the roots are you only using 30 vol developer? I am a bit confused

[@ExcellentFancy]

This may sound like a ridiculous question, but how do the ends end up being so light once the hair which was once at the root (which was tapped) grows out? Does that make sense? So if you do a root tap which is slightly darker, eventually it’s gonna grow out to the end. So how is it that the ends are still so blonde? Does the toner wash out eventually? I understand the whole concept of the highlights/baby light. I just don’t understand for the hair that’s left dark how that ends up being so light on the ends eventually. Can someone please explain that to me? Please? 😕

[@Alcajujo]

I’m not a hair dresser...but when you highlight, you’re taking the color out of that hair permanently. Hair color or root tapping will color your hair, but eventually it will fade lighter because the hair underneath has been bleached. --that’s how I understand it anyways 😂

[@wendy8561]

The toner fades out most definitely and it's not a permanent hair color which some people actually use so it just fades and the highlights with grow out gets bleached if that makes sense

[@suzettesmith2075]

I just recently went to a newer salon. I have white hairs and bleaching it wasn't helping my whites. So the new stylist went in where my whites were with a level 3 and highlights. Finally did cover my Grey's but left it light enough without making me to pale

[@yubyhernandez7778]

You give the best tips. Omg!!! So professional

[@lindasalfen7879]

Do I just apply with 9P with no processing solution ??

[@Q.....7080]

Hi Elle, thank you for the video. SoI am brunette who wants to achieve a Level 7A without the Red/Orange. What Toner would you suggest? (I do use Wella products)

[@waakkeuppp]

Your hair is so gorgeous 😱😱😱

What did you mix with the 30 volume though :(

[@jamieo1592]

I've had issues with orange roots my whole life. The rest can be ok, but the roots have that orange hue under the color on my scalp and it's horrible. I've yet to find anyone that can help me really find a solution I can use. I use Wella 50 toner on it and haven't in awhile, cause the rest of my hair is ok, but a bit dark. But the new growth, ugh! It never matches the rest of my hair!! So last night I used 30 volume, cause it seems to me that 20 is not lifting it enough and only getting to orange. Well, I have the color, though it went darker than I wanted and that was a 5! Gonna try the wells T50 asap. I guess use 20 volume? I'm scared to use 30 again on my hair. I used to bleach it with 40 and powder when I did it blue, purple several years ago. Then I left it alone to grow back, for the most part, and put stuff like Artic Fox, etc. But I'm tired of my only option is going black. But I hate red/orange in my hair. I've actually been using a color spray to buy me time. But I gotta tone this hair!! This has been going on over 25 years. =(
