How To Tone Brunette Hair At Home/ How I'm Growing My Hair Out | ELA BOBAK

I'm trying to grow my hair out naturally so I wanted to share how I maintain it for cheap at home! I hate the brassiness that my brown hair gives off after a while so I love toning it at home for a quick fix.

Finally a video with tips for brunettes!!

[@chelsealess7864]

I am SO excited to try this out. This is one of the better before and afters that I have seen and I am glad to read in the comments that another viewer tried it and they were just as pleased with the results!

[@thisishersong]

I know it’s definitely more important what you like at the end of the day, but girl that warmer brighter tone looks amazing on you! A warm Demi on the roots would make it look so good.

[@savannahburkholder1671]

This was the most helpful video EVER! My brown hair had lifted very red/orange and I was desperate to change it before my engagement pictures. I only left mine in for 8 minutes but it worked great! The brass is all gone and my hair is a medium brown now!

Did you also use 7a? I'm having more like ginger tones in my hair, they're lighter than the hair shown in the video and idk if I should also use 7a

[@jessicakenny3424]

Wow this worked even better than I hoped! I had my hair dyed at the salon a few months ago to match my natural colour (light brown) to try to grow it out but it has faded to an awful reddish brown and root regrowth (with a few sparkly greys). I followed your tutorial exactly and it is a rich medium brown. Not just a dull flat brown, there is definitely dimension. It's honestly very pretty and shiny and doesn't feel damaged. I'm blown away! The root regrowth is just blended in and most of the greys (I don't have many but they drive me crazy) are covered as well. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!

[@ELABOBAK]

Jessica Kenny 🥳🥳🥳

[@sugrmag3]

A demi color usually appears to be a shade darker because it is deposit only. Also an Ash tone color usually looks a shade darker because it absorbs light rather than reflecting like a warm tone. Therefore the combination of a demi 7A (medium ash blonde) on her level 7 warm toned hair looks like a level 5A (lightest ash brown). For a lighter (dark ash blonde) shade result she could use 8A (light ash blonde). The activator lotion is only 6 Volume and so doesn't lighten, just deposit.

[@4949GAL]

So, what might be happening here is the "a" in 7a is toning the reddish color out of the hair. The low level developer (10 vol.) is causing little to no lift or deposit of color. She is basically changing the tone of her her not the level. Her hair may be appearing darker but it is the tone that makes it look that way.

[@audreyw4862]

Question. Please help. In your description it says ‘Toner’, but the Sally’s Web site says ‘Demi Permanent Hair Color.’ I thought Hair Color and Toner were two very different things? Please help

[@ELABOBAK]

A Waltz it still is toner. Not sure why!

[@Lee-wb8mt]

Demi permanent hair dye deposits color on the surface of the hair. Demi permanent colors use a low level developer,unlike a semi permanent which doesn’t. The A in 7a is for ash, and ash tones will tone the brassy orange colour in her hair, that’s why demi pennant colors can be used to tone the hair. It is Demi permanent so it’s not a long term solution, the deposited color does wash out eventually.

[@eliadvo]

Your hair looks great! May I ask how does a level 7 darken your hair? Im so afraid of using an ash and turning green but I hate the intense brassy warmth that is showing through.

[@ELABOBAK]

I’m not sure :/

Also an ash color will never turn your brassy hair green - that would only happen if you had like light blonde hair and were going darker without filling with a red first.

[@eliadvo]

@@striketochill thats exactly what it was you are correct. I had brassy blonde but it wasn't even I guess and some sections must not have been brassy so it turned the brassy parts nice and then sections were greenish and others purple-ish. i have zero experience and it was during the pandemic when everyone was closed so I went for it and failed.

@@sugrmag3 hi idk if you’ll seeee this but you seem to know what you’re talking about! so I have extremely light pink hair (I just did a strand test with wella 5A/246 toner) and it’s looking less ashy than I hoped - should I mix in the cool violet or should I pair with a more chocolate brown?? I am cool toned light skin, light features TIA :))

[@sugrmag3]

@@melissarenee7565 hi, I just saw your comment. If you’re a ‘light pink’ initially, that indicates that you have previously lifted your original color to a pale blonde color, ie: yellow or pale yellow, and then applied a pink color to that result. Whether it faded from a brighter pink or was applied as a light pink, it doesn’t alter that the hair underneath the color is devoid of the original pigment molecules that were lifted by the lightening (bleaching) process. You don’t state what you used to get the pink, whether a Demi-permanent or ‘semi’ permanent ie: direct dye. Either will eventually fade to a pastel shade. Wella 5A isn’t a Toner, it’s a Permanent (or Semi-Permanent) Tint, ie: Dye. It has a Green base. This with the Red base of the pink shade previously applied will cancel each other out so to speak, as they are opposing each other on the color wheel, leaving a Neutral tone. Be careful going down more than 2 shades once lightened as this is how you can end up with a green or other strange color result. You first need to Fill the hair (put back in the pigment color removed in the initial lightening), and then put the desired shade on the hair, or possibly a shade lighter. Without knowing what is in the hair it’s not possible to responsibly suggest what to use next other than a good protein deep conditioning treatment followed by a good moisturizing deep treatment to restore and repair the hair and assist with the high porosity. This will help achieve a uniform color result. Without more details about what was used, I can’t suggest what you might want to use. You haven’t stated what you prefer it to end up as other than more ash. Ash is a tone like warm or golden. It doesn’t suggest a color (blonde, brunette...) or level (dk blonde ie: level 6/7, lt brown ie: 4/5, etc.).

There's a Revlon link vid here showing how to use it, kzbin.info/www/bejne/epLOmmSmetyAhs0 I'm in UK it costs about £12 for 270ml, lasts at least 10 applications..done every 4 wks or so in between salon visits, it's a 3 min treatment & adds shine., it's a semi, I leave it on longer I have thick hair so leave it on 15 mins and I don't use it all over I pull random pieces and coat them using a brush & fingers (wear a glove cos it stains skin) and I just choose random pieces all over to create more dimensional tones but u have highlights already so you could just use it all over. It would be multi tonal. x

[@bronte3371]

Does it have to be semi permanent or can I use permanent hair dye?

[@ELABOBAK]

Toning Is semi permament

[@stacynedroscik1944]

Can you tell me what level your roots are? And did it lighten or darken your roots?

[@AnaisAndersohn]

Stacy Nedroscik it should not affect your natural color if it id dark like hers. Maybe it will look a tad ashy or neutral but demi color does not lift hair color (lighten it). It only deposits.

[@kimberlymcgee6035]

How long do you leave it in for?

[@ELABOBAK]

Kimberly Denise 20 min

[@Naedizzle12]

Is this the same hair color you used before? Because I LOVE the tone of your hair it faded to and I’m trying to get that instead of my blonde highlights lol

[@ELABOBAK]

Renee Wilson yes!

[@leah3301]

Are you trying to grow out your natural colour? I have two inches of my real brown hair but the rest is dyed brown which has now gone reddish and brassy. Does this touch your natural hair?

[@ELABOBAK]

Amber Leah yes I put the toner on my natural hair and it doesn’t ruin it or anything. The toner fades in 1-2 weeks for me and my hair is back to how it was

[@leah3301]

ELA BOBAK thanks very much :)

[@MultiFluffys]

Hi Amber, I am in the exact same hair situation as you. If you tried this method did it work for you ?

[@leah3301]

@@MultiFluffys Hi Lucia, I havent tried it because my hairdresser said any colour can leave a stain on the hair, they recommended just dying it without touching the roots/ natural hair. I ended up dying it all again, but I am going to try this method when I need to.

[@KristenCAnderson]

[@ELABOBAK]

Kristen Anderson 7a!

[@TheGalaxy1x]

I am confused u said toner but it’s a hair color not toner...toners are in small bottles...so u just colored your hair not toned it....??!!!!

[@ELABOBAK]

TheGalaxy1x it was a toner!

[@TheGalaxy1x]

But why then it says on the the product you have that it’s Demi permanent hair color?!

[@ELABOBAK]

@@TheGalaxy1x yes but it only lasts 1-2 weeks. just sharing what it does for me! im not a hairdresser so dont know how else to answer your question sorry
