How To Fix Brassy Hair & Hot Roots

[@hnieckula]

I have been trying to wrap my brain around this subject for years, only understanding it partially. But you have completely clarified it for me. Thank you for this video!

[@artisticafflair408]

I really appreciate you are talking in a slow way. I find it more helpful taking in the information this way. X

[@kristymaccone7045]

Thank you Artistic Flair. I’m glad it was helpful that way

I bleached my hair from a dark brown and then went copper and I love the rest but the roots are giving Pennysise the clown 😭

[@mulliganstew72]

Try redKen shades 9b but only roots because it can turn lighter parts blueish.

[@lemonauraify]

I have this same problem currently. Did you manage to solve it?

[@aaronautry1981]

My fiancée just had her hair bleached and was trying to get blonde highlights, not a clown hair. They did too much on the front roots and everywhere else is fine but just the front is too much orange and it look like she will have to wait another month before she can do it again without further damaging it. And we have a wedding in a couple weeks. She lives in colombia what can she do other than buying a wig for a short term fix?

[@aaronautry1981]

She's a natural brunette, dark brunette

[@pamelaromer7727]

Thank you for the information. I’m watching this with orange 🍊 😮 😢 hair at the moment. Thank goodness I only bleached the nape, not the crown or front. I’m white in the front and salt/pepper on the crown. Brown in back. I got impatient with the natural greying process. Again, thanks for the information and good luck with the channel.

This help me so much, thank you after so many years not understanding you broke it down perfect about the levels of tones ❤❤❤

Excellent communication skills! So easy to understand. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@donacounts5357]

Hi Kristy ! Thank you so much for your tutorial about hit roots. I will have to do a color correction which will be my first one I was a little bit hesitant to do it but thanks to all this knowledge that you shared I feel that I can do it. Thank you, thank you thank you! If you have any other advise I will really appreciated it.

[@margaretcordova3268]

I dyed my hair dark red brown with 20 developer and had hot red roots! The girl at Sally’s beauty supply told me to use the 20 but I was not sure she was correct. It looked horrible!!! So I had some medium honey brown and volume 10 developer and used that on my roots and it matched my color perfectly! It darkened it to match the rest of my hair. 12:02 I realized the 20 was way too high. Thanks for the video.

[@Megan6772]

Don't ever listen to the girls at Sally's 😬

[@navarenaud9825]

I messed up trying to bleach my hair. It doesn’t look horrible but my roots are like a level 9 blending down into level 7-8 ends. All brassy. Should I attempt to lighten my ends to the same shade as my roots, or is that likely to end in banding? I am also considering using level 7 or 8 ash Demi all over. Could that result in orange roots and brown ends? Not sure if you’ll even see this now, but thanks for the informative video!

[@TheToriio]

This is so informative, thank you so much !! I've always been blonde but with age it has darkened to a much darker blonde than I prefer. I left my roots on too long - I think - I always leave them to do last. And I'm stuck at a level 8, with them, with no budge from purple shampoo on that new growth that I dyed. So helpful. Thanks again!

[@claudial6808uk]

I am removing orange perm dye like a ginger on top of level 9 and have already bleached twice and a bleach wash its now a rose blonde and before i bleach 1 more time 20 vol id like to ask is there a colour not too dark like eg ash light blonde i can blend some of the ginger with like a lowlight/ darker balayage 😊or foilyage so i dont bleach all the hair again I cant find any info 😞 o n this really and colour remover says dont use on bleached hair i cant work it out can you help 🎉ty

[@buknimanna]

@kristy I just discovered your channel. Love your hair & colour. I just got a horrible highlight job & trying to figure out what to do. I am about a level 5 (I think) brunette and wanted your beautiful colour. Can I ask what toner you would use to achieve that tone? Thank you!

[@robinbellinger5547]

Hi Kristy, This is an amazing video and very insightful. Thank you! I was hoping you can providr some additional answers to some questions. I used OligoCalura 7neutral. I made a mistake and have partial hot roots. I bought calura oligo gloss 6-1/6A to fix it. I watched the company video on the product but info was missing. Do I need 50 % toner and 50 developer. I have Oligo Calura 30 vol9% is that what I need to use or a different type? Do I just apply on the roots or all the hair ? I do have some gray too so in the company video says 30 minutes. How do I look at my hair and know it is ready to wash out? Thank you for your help!!

[@sabinesmith5447]

Hey Kristy! What do you recommend for a blue toning treatment mask for level 4-5 hair? Thanks

[@mindbodyspirfit]

I'm confused about the root part. You said 20 develop on roots but 30 or 40 the rest of the way? Wouldn't that pull your ends higher when you want your roots lifted most? I used 30 peroxide at roots with 9MB ... brassy. Used t18 toner.... still brassy... should I put a lower toner?

[@kateginger]

Maybe she means on virgin hair. Because in that case you'd want the ends to be the lightest.

[@cicic.3640]

Hi Kristi, I hope you see this and reply. I have virgin level 3/4 hair. I used ultra bond powder bleach with 20 vol developer for baby lights on crown of my head . I took the foil out too soon and its light orange. Should i rebleach again to bring up to a 9ish and if you suggest that will i leave in these foils only a short time as it only needs to lighten a shade or two? Or should i do a demi permanent color with a blue tone with 10 developer? Im a 1st time DIYer and Im stuck on what to do. Thank you in advance for replying. I do have fine baby hair but the bleached orange strands dont seem compromised at all at this point.

[@nerosambition]

Really great video thanks so much. I love this kind of teaching video well done 👍

[@annettecrichton9595]

My hair is naturally a level 6.5 with lots of grey. I colored my roots with 6A/7A/20 vol developer and my roots came out hot. I’ve ordered a blue shampoo to help fix it. Any thoughts on why this happened? I wasn’t trying to change the level.

[@mulliganstew72]

How did the blue shampoo work? I traded use of an A & now Use N to cover gray & add a little AG with a 30:v developer.

[@kateginger]

If you use a 10 vol then you only deposit and don't lift the colour. But if you use 20 or higher, then you will lift the hair (especially the roots because there's more hit there). Since you are lifting the hair color and changing to a level or 2, your hair turns orange.

[@siracha.joongi9729]

When i dyed my hair it only took the color on my roots and not on my main section of my hair. How do i add the color on my main section?

[@Tammy.50]

Excellent 🎉

[@Tammy.50]

Thank you ❤

[@christymichelle8873]

This helped me so much, thank you! I have natural 6.5 level hair with blonde baby lights but also with new silver coming in every day. So I researched forever to find a no lift semi or Demi just to deposit blonde on the silver.. (I was a natural blonde til my mid teens before it darkened with age) so I went with Clairol natural instincts in a level 9 and got hot roots. It didn’t change the rest of my hair but it definitely lifted my roots. My hair looks just like yours but with golden orange roots lol. Would it be better to smudge my roots with color or try just a toner first?

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Christy I suppose you could try a toner with a color direction of blue. But you can go a shade darker and do a root smudge.Aldo keep in mind how much the root area is. Remember to smudge with a semi, or Demi or temporary color.

[@wendy8561]

First of all I love your intro this video has helped me tremendously thank you but I have been doing highlights on my natural level 5 hair it's to the point I need to put a little dark back in I'm considering doing only my roots I have a 5na 5n shades EQ or a 7n which one would work better over my blonde peices which are 8 some 9 on my balayage hair I need to put more highlights on first on my regrowth I'm thinking then do a shadow root all over just wondering which one I should do first I know the cuticle is still open after coloring the base but would it be better to do my highlights first I just want it tolook good I love your hair and thank you so very much for your videos your an amazing colorist and lady I completely adore you

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Wendy, thank you for watching! You can do a shadow root and if you want to go darker you can always consider some lowlights. What is your natural hair level? Do you double process?

[@J340-n7s]

Great information!!thank you!😊

really useful information :) thank you, Kristy! :)

[@kristymaccone7045]

Thank you! I appreciate the time you spent with me watching this video. I’m glad it was useful that is always my goal.

[@wendy8561]

I also have some more that are Demi to use to tone my brass or blonde afterwards shades EQ 9t 9p 9v and clear of course the processing solution I toned a few weeks ago and it come out really dark with mixing those 3 what do you think about this mixture?

[@kristymaccone7045]

I am more familiar with Schwarzkopf . May i ask what de eloped you used. I mg I was toning with Schwarzkopf I would use a 9.5-1, I like these because they are a little lighter than a 9. It would seem that maybe a level 9 is darker than your preferred level for highlights

[@vrmlib]

I would’ve not done the T in that formulation, T is very blue which will make it look darker

[@wendy8561]

@@vrmlib thank you I'm learning my hair is almost a breasty orange red now I died it backto brown well the roots and now it just not pumpkin orange just Rusty orange what do you think about toning that

[@wendy8561]

@@kristymaccone7045 I love that brand especially the bleach but I'm not familiar with the toning thank you so much

[@vrmlib]

@@wendy8561 well I would just put a brown color over it if you want to be brown..make sure it has a blue base

[@guitarsalad]

ive been trying to dye my hair dark neutral brown. my roots keep turning red. nothing wants to cover it!

[@sabinesmith5447]

Did you find a solution? My hair does the same thing. I’ve been using an Australian permanent dye from “The Shade” and they said to use their 27 developer because I have resistant hair and warm up the hair with my dryer to open the cuticle and put on a cap. Once again…hot roots. Plus, I’m not getting good coverage. You can still see what I call “twinkles” from the gray. I’m a natural level 4 and my hair is slowly going to a 5 with it being summer and I prefer it as a 5 but not with all this brassiness at the roots!! Was going to try a blue shampoo/conditioner until I find a solution. Don’t notice a link to ones that Kristy recommends in this post. Any advice would be great. Thanks!!

[@makayleesworld1141]

I’ve had balayage for alittle while and the blonde grew out to about right above my ears I have natural dark blonde hair and wanted to get all my hair the dark blonde I went in with a copper color in my bottom first to add some pigment since it was bleached and went over my ends with the dark blonde color, I believe it was dark intense blonde I saw it was processing pretty fast so I decided to put it on my roots last but my my natural roots turned copper/orange, what do you think I should do go back in with the dark intense blonde it’s definitely darker than my natural color but I’m okay with that I just want my colors to match… do you think I should go in with a shade darker it just seems like it lightened my roots even though my roots were pretty light I tried toning but that didn’t work at all either

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Makaylees, Was the color you applied to the mid lengths a permanent hair color? I assume so if the root area turned orange. Do you like the color that resulted in the mid lengths? If you do, you can probably look for the same color in a Demi permanent but one or two shades darker and apply it as a root melt or shadow. You can also send me a picture to my Instagram or email so I can have a better understanding.

[@rachelleblair581]

too hard to follow---I'm not a cosmetologist...just tell me how to fix the hot roots with out all the metalanguage, please.

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Rachelle, I’m sorry if it was hard for you to follow. When it comes to hair color there is no One size fits all. I guess the complexity of hair color theory is what makes this salon service rather expensive. If you would like to share your particular hair issue with me I would be happy to give you an easy to understand solution. Thank you I truly value your feedback and will keep it in mind.

[@SmittenKitten.]

@@kristymaccone7045 Wow, you were incredibly nice to her even though she was sort of snappy towards you. That was really kind of you!

She explained it well. Maybe English isn't your first language?

[@laurendukes1480]

Can you address how to avoid hot roots on gray hair?

[@kathystclair9485]

I thought Kristy was very thorough in telling us how to fix hot roots. If I were you and you did not understand her, I would never to do my own hair. Kristy is about the best teacher you're going to find here on utube.
