How To Get The Best from...BOX DYE? From selection to application. (Hairstylist tells you how)

[@QManagerin]

I'm so sorry people leaving hateful comments. You are such a lovely person, only informing and helping clients who prefer to color their hair at home. I go to stylist- but I remember times when I was a poor student who couldn't effort a professional doing my hair. I would've been so thankful for video content that didn't exist back then. Keep-up the good work ♥♥♥

Thank you for your kind words, you are much appreciated…and thank you for watching. So brilliant to have you following along. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

@shana7152 What a lovely kind thing to say, thank you Shana, I appreciate you. 👨🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@anarosemanners7815]

It makes me sad to hear that people have left nasty comments. You seem like the sweetest 🥺. Thank you for making your videos to help the at home colour girlies out :), and for giving honest feedback and advice. There’s always people that are going to be negative, but just remember, the rest of us appreciate you and everything you do! Love your videos.

[@theworldofcraig]

Well, thank you for that and for your thoughtful kindness, you are appreciated. There are, I don’t expect everyone to be kind of agree with me…it’s more the type of comment and general anger that’s horrid. It’s so FAB to have you following along. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@Keommie]

Many of the negative commenters go beyond negative to just garbage. Just garbage. Just delete them. For some reason they enjoy being that way. Different strokes for different folks - delete. Please just carry on doing your videos. I find them so helpful, am so appreciative you decided to provide this information for us home colourers.

[@theworldofcraig]

And then you come along with your kindness and make me smile, thank you. I do understand that people’s feelings may have been hurt but that’s no reason to be nasty. Someone even said that they “didn’t know why I bothered if I couldn’t take the negativity”?! Goodness, what a horrid take on the world. Thanks again, I appreciate you 👨🏻🙏🏻💙

[@courtneyjackson4843]

This is just my opinion - only an opinion but I think stylists' are shortchanging themselves by saying that the quality is just about the actual product...salon vs drugstore...when really going to the salon is about the artist who is applying the color. Also thank you for mentioning things I havent thought of (how to shake the color). So sorry you had hurtful comments on the last video. I really enjoyed this series.

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi Courtney, thanks for watching…and for your lovely, kind opinion. I agree entirely with you and I may just have been in (can’t say which, the hair gods will strike me) the labs that produce some of them…same but different, so really not that different. So glad this helped…next up SHAMPOO! 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@jadeartfx]

Sorry Craig that you have to endure the nasty trolls that invade the internet like a swarm of creepy nasty bugs. I am a retired hairdresser of over fifty years of experience, but and I am still learning. You are bringing me such joy and fulfilling the time I miss being away from the salon, my co-workers and the wonderful clients. I am immune compromised because of cancer, and since the Covid hit us hard I am still susceptible to what is floating around out there, so I am homebound a lot of the time now. Thank you and stick to what you are doing on KZbin, you are so appreciated by so many. ❤️ from the U.S.

[@xenonorion8670]

I am an ex hairdresser, a hair cutter mostly 😊 when i hear a colorist say NEVER use Home hair color, i tell them I’ve used both, if done correctly there’s very little difference, it’s still got the same or similar ingredients! I always said it’s a MYTH. No point arguing you get nowhere.😂 There’s also home hair kits, by companies, that will mix the perfect color for you supposedly ? they got it wrong 3 times, i just ended up using the peroxide and conditioner, its always liquid color. My mum used to use nice and easy! Her hair always looked good. I find liquid color, harder control. it drips everywhere! The ones that come in a tube that you mix together with the peroxide are far better, with a bowl and brush. You could always buy 2 colors, of similar shades, and mix a little of one into the other to get a lighter or deeper color. depending on the levels and what you like. I’ve helped many women, get the right one. They see the color on the box and think they’re going to get that!😊 perhaps? Color doesn’t lift color. Unless it’s a lightener one that will lift a couple levels. Ive had some lovely results with box color, especially auburn red shades, as you mentioned use a lighter one first? Even with salon color I’ve used a level 3 -4 and ended up, Darker than I wanted i use Demi permanent. which on me doesn’t fade! It also😢 may be less damaging as it has a lower peroxide. If you’re re- coloring, with the same color apply to the ends last, otherwise you’re overlapping the previous color, possibly damaging your hair, it may turn out too dark! I would like to ask you about shampoos,? Hairdressers say never use Pantene! do you think that’s a MYTH too? some of the really expensive branded ones in the salon, Sometimes aren’t much better than shop ones? I’ve tried several, pretty much the same, besides the cost! I buy Pro color at say TJMaxx TK Max in UK . You can get some great deals! Anyway I don’t want to take over your KZbin😅 As you said nasty comments Are not needed! Some people just like to be nasty. I’ve had them! I cancel them! I just found your you tube thanks!❤

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi there, thanks for watching and sharing your hair insight! There are “shop ups” in the playlist that talk about drug store shampoo…I think I may even mention Pantene. I don’t think it’s a bad line at all.

[@LyraMicki]

Thank you so much. I choose to colour my hair at home because I have autism and struggle with other people touching my head. I get a wet cut or a dry cut so that my stylist is touching my head for as little time as possible. She doesn’t wash, dry or style my hair - and she is amazing. I even have long hair despite preferring short hair just so as my head is touched less during my haircuts. For people like me (and others with their own wonderfully weird reasons 😉), people like you are doing a MASSIVE service. Those who judge because they don’t understand should just be quietly grateful that they don’t have to understand. There are very many of us who will greatly appreciate your help and advice - those who videos like this are actually FOR. If a video isn’t useful to a person, then that person absolutely does not have to watch it. It really is that simple. Again, thank you - so much ❤

There is a point you made about shampooing after color. I use a loreal extra light blonde hi lift. You leave it on 40 minutes rinse snd apply conditioner. I always thought it was strange not to shampoo the residue out. Sometimes after it would feel almost wet even after i dried it as I didn't get all dye out. Your point is interesting and I will try a mild professional shampoo next time, not too much but enough to emulsify and remove residue b4 condition.

[@theworldofcraig]

Yes, even though the “base” of most hair colours contain surfactants to aid removal, it’s best to shampoo to make sure it’s all removed and stop the process of oxidation. Glad the video helped, thanks for watching.

Most modern formulas deliver whatever they use to condition the hair within a small time frame - and when the hair is dry the conditioning stops working. Of course if you like using it that way do it, it’s not wrong… it there’s no benefit.

for anybody who is thinking to try it: I am a level 3-2 dark brown and use 550 Mahogany in the L'Oréal Casting Cream Gloss demi-permanent colour. It looks like my hair colour, but with a reddish tint, perfect for me as I only use this to cover up the greys and my natural eyebrows look like as if they were black anyways so I do not want to change my hair colour much. It is perfect - I will say though, to me the colouring feels like permanent as no matter how strong of a shampoo I use how many times the colour has never faded back to my original hair colour. but I don't mind, it is okay, not too different from my original hair colour.

I’m getting a bit fed up of looking aged & feeling drab and have decided to have a go at giving my hair & myself a lift at home. Would you please be a darling and point me towards any links you may have that will help me sift through the many confusing choices of suitable, easy demi box dyes out there for novices like myself ? Many thanks handsome 🙏 xx

[@theworldofcraig]

Hellooo, Jannie! Goodness me, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate you. So my “shop up” series are quite a new thing on my channel, I don’t have one that recommends specific home colour products…I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. I would say, from my research, is that Natural Instincts is a great “starter” line. That said, perhaps a golden blonde colour conditioner mask would be a great start - I like the Wella one and that way there’s no chemical reaction, so no grow out! I have actually used Casting before and enjoyed that, it’s a very similar formulas to a salon brand. It is more of a demi though, so would most likely give you a regrowth. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

@@theworldofcraig​​⁠thank you soooo very much for replying 🙏. I will give one of those a go & with any luck it will cover the S&P grey 🤞😃. I really appreciate your help & advice Craig 🤗xx

[@kimmieb4706]

Thank you for these tips. I wonder if you could talk about hair prep? dampen hair, dry hair, dirty hair washed hair… 🙏🏾 I think that’s where I get tripped up.

[@theworldofcraig]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching. I would always suggest, as I mention, to follow the instructions to the letter. The chemists that formulate the colour are amazing.

[@kellyboyer8957]

Thank you can you do I video on bleach hair and redoing roots with colour

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi Kelly, thanks for watching. There are many bleaching videos here on my channel…

[@GeminiCaron]

Loved these tips, thank you so much! Im going very grey now but don’t want to go fully grey yet! I love the colour you had on your model x

[@theworldofcraig]

That’s great, glad it was helpful. I don’t remember there being a model in that video…?

[@supersaabclaire]

I would also say, if you're not sure how a colour will come out on your hair, it's soooooo beneficial to do a strand test first, I've learned the hard way lol 😂 so sometimes when I'm unsure it's been so beneficial to me to do a strand test x

[@theworldofcraig]

Yes, always a good idea - I do cover this in many of my videos.

[@supersaabclaire]

So many great tips! I haven't colored my hair on my own yet but this was helpful for when I do. I'm still struggling about what hair color brand and color to choose 😁

You are SO wonderful. Your energy and kind soul just shine through in your videoes. Thank you for doing them I hope this community is a safe olace for everyone without hate. Ok...now to question. I think it would be great for you to talk about pre-coloring in the sense of the ol debate. What is the best state to color your hair? Clean? Dirty? Wait a day? Can you color over brushed through products and how will the pre-color state of your hair affect the color if at all. Thank you!

[@theworldofcraig]

Thank you, that’s very kind and much appreciated….and thanks for watching. Ok cool, added to list. Thank you 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

Hello from London! Thanks for watching and your kind words. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@mistyday3557]

I recently found your channel and love and appreciate your videos on home hair color. I have been coloring my hair at home for years. My natural color is black and never lightened or bleached and have always used black with an midnight blue or indigo tint. I have always had a great experience IGK Moon Dance. The past year my Gray around my face hair line and middle part are more persistent and harder to color and lasting color. Do you have any recommendations that could help this process? I wash my hair 2-3 times a week and use color care shampoo and conditioner and also use Bleach London Reincarnation Mask. Thank you again and I am looking forward to further content on your channel.

[@theworldofcraig]

Hello there! Thanks for watching and for your kind words, much appreciated. That sounds like a gorgeous result, really cool. For the grey I would suggest a couple of things - apply to the grey first, then once the rest is on, go back and reapply a little more - saturation is key for coverage. You could also loosely cover the front area with plastic wrap - I do this in salon a lot - this will utilise body heat to aid with coverage. Please let me know how you get on.

[@deannatonn8570]

Just discovered your amazing channel and your explanations are the easiest to understand. Question...do you recommend using a toner shampoo when going through the rinsing process instead of what the box provides? I'm very new to understanding the differences between coloring and lifting and think I am a natural 5 ...covering some gray at the hairline...with warm tone from not understanding why my hair turned reddish from a blonde ash box lol...I do now. I used a blue shampoo to help lessen the reddish effect and it has helped. Thank you for your channel and have no interest in negative comments...love your energy!!!!!

[@theworldofcraig]

Awww, thanks for watching and for your kindness, glad it’s helpful. Every head of hair is different, so it depends - if the result is very warm I would suggest a toner as the results will be more predictable. 👨🏼🙏🏻✨

Your awesome. I need you to do my high intense biolage Thank you. And please inform us why our hair don’t grow at past shoulders.

[@theworldofcraig]

Thank you…and thanks for watching. I’ve not heard of that, I know Biolage but not “high intense”, I’ll have a look. How long hair grows is individual to each person and governed by our genetics.

[@Xubanqueen]

@@theworldofcraig Hello thank you for your response. I can’t afford to purchase a high value salon visits so I use the box dye by nutrise but my hair length is not growing like before.

[@ashleyburns2238]

Thank you so much! Lovely videos. Please help me understand something …. Why do salons never patch test their products? I always patch test, but when I go to different salons, they just go straight to applying the colour 🤔. Is salon stuff always non-allergenic? 🧐. Thanks again 🩷🩷🩷

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi Ashley, thank you, that’s very kinds. Oh goodness, they really should, we patch test everyone, even if they are an existing client that hasn’t had colour for over a year. All hair colour brands recommend it.

[@ashleyburns2238]

@@theworldofcraig Thanks! I’ll bear that in mind when at the salon 💇‍♀️ xxxx!!

[@marzenie2583]

Hi what do you think about Shrine drop it toner which you add to no silicone hair conditioner. Maybe it would be an idea for you to make another film?

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. The thing about Shrine drops is that they aren’t very precise, so not something I would create content around. Thanks for watching.

[@supersaabclaire]

I've found it soooooo much easier to mix home hair colour in a bowl, section my hair and apply with a colour brush, it comes out soooo much nicer than just slapping the colour on 😂

[@theworldofcraig]

👨🏼🙌🏻✨

[@tinacollins9213]

Hi Craig I use nice and easy baby blonde , but it dries my hair out to the extreme do you have any tips , I’ve just ordered wells but it’s lighter than the box dye

[@theworldofcraig]

Impossible for me to say remotely - are you being careful not to overlap it when you apply it, it’s most likely that…?

[@SophieHeuer]

It is possible to get Amanda seyfried hair color(her natural hair color) on a salon or alone? Everyone says to me they will do it and I end up with shadow roots and high lights 😂 I see that her hair is one solid color throughout the whole head and with no shadow roots at all! I don’t mind if I have to bleach every week to keep it up with the roots and I don’t mind if I have to bleach all of it to then get the color(I suppose this is how should be done right?) I’m asking bc when I tell them this no one wants to do it so I guess I will have to do it myself and I was wondering if u could tell me the best way to do it alone or to what type or hair dresser should I look to get it done? My mom has her exact hair color and I got my dads hair (dark brown) so I always wanted that hair color and they always gave me like a Margot Robbie type of blonde with shadow root and dark pieces instead of a solid global blonde… at least something close to Amanda’s hair would make me happy I know identical is not possible… what I like abt her hair is that is one solid color no shadow roots and no dark lights and the tone of it

[@theworldofcraig]

I think Amanda’s hair is a very light natural base, I can’t be certain but her eyes are very blue - she has a full head tint but it wouldn’t take much “energy” to lift her hair. As you’re naturally darker it would be a MUCH bigger process - I would suggest seeking consultations at salons that you’re recommended to if possible. Good luck!

[@sararitchie-brown9881]

If I want a semi permanent I’m using to be more vibrant, and want to bleach it out to an orange ish colour (going for a red end result) would a 10vol be enough to lighten my hair from around a level 3/4 brown, I was a red head naturally but it’s gone darker as I’ve gotten older. Or would I be better off doing a 20vol.

[@theworldofcraig]

You’d probably need to use 20vol as your hair is already coloured - I would suggest doing a strand test underneath to see how it lifts.

[@missjuliawinston]

Should you shampoo and condition your hair before dying?

[@theworldofcraig]

I wouldn’t, you’re going to shampoo the colour after rinsing - unless your hair has lots of oil/product in it…and I mean lots. I would never advise to use a conditioner before a colour - generally, they close the cuticle and could stop the colour from penetrating properly. Thanks for watching.

[@missjuliawinston]

@@theworldofcraig thank you! I shampooed and conditioned my hair 3 days ago and added a leave-in. Should I just apply the dye on top?

[@theworldofcraig]

@@missjuliawinston You’re welcome. Yes, that’s the way to go.

[@karenbarlow4300]

What if the box says 111 and i am level 7. What would you do??

[@theworldofcraig]

In the numbering system most lines use that would be an ash black, the darkest you can get really. Not sure what you’re asking..?
