Question, why do men's, gray covering products, only seem to take 5 minutes, instead of 45 minutes?

[@Babee56]

Just for men is a tint not a dye. It’s grey blending not grey coverage (for a more natural look) it’s also not permanent like eyebrow tint

[@kristinelizabethbarker3459]

I find that the color lasts longer if I don’t wash my hair with shampoo too often. I might rinse my hair with water and then condition it or use a hair mask, but less shampoo has definitely been a game changer for me. I don’t use heating tools often either.

[@AlineBooneMusic]

Thank you, this is useful! I'm only 26 but saw my first grey hairs at 21. I got a significant amount of grey by my temples so when it hasn't been coloured in a while I can't put my hair up without showing all the grey and since my natural hair is dark brown it really shows. I hate it and it makes me insecure and I don't have the time or money to go to the hairdresser every 4-6 weeks . I want to start colouring/touching up at home but always felt nervous about doing it. This video is really informational and helpful! Your hair is gorgeous btw!

First of all, very professional presentation thank you I am 63 years old, female from subcontinent of India. Originally my hair were black black, but as the gray came, I have been using hair dye to cover the gray the problem is every time the new gray hair grow and I apply the color on the gray the other hair, which were already colored before become darker, you were talking about some cream to apply to give the hair shine I didn’t quite understand that part. Also, please tell me with this type of coarse hair that have been colored many times what percentage of applicator I should use I would like to stay dark brown because that suits my facial color. Thank you very much. and some thing to seal the color in and some thing to make them shiny because I can’t afford to pay the professionals thank you very much.

When you color your roots you have to be very careful not to put the hair color on the parts of the hair that is already colored, or else you can get dark patches/bands.

[@teresajudy7232]

My hair has been described by professional stylists as gossamer thin and poo burnt brown. I was 12. So, needless to say I started trying different. Colors. Blondes made me look too pale. Blacks made me look like morticia adams. Then, I found auburn, and fell in love with all the shades. Now at 64 I still love it. How close can I color without looking like I am trying to recapture my youth?

I have seen many videos in my quest for basic information about hair color and you are the best. No kidding, there isn’t anyone else who bothers to show color swatches and the tables illustrating colors and numbering systems. I need n to know more about using toners. There are a lot of colorists who use #6 or #10 developer to mix 1 1/2 parts developer with 1 part toner. I didn’t see you mention developer with toner in either one of your videos that I watched today.

[@tamchats21]

I've had grey hair since I was 32. I have done my hair color myself forever. I dye the Grey roots dark blonde and bleach painted on streaks. My hair is in good condition because I wrap my bleached strands in foil and dye the roots dark blonde, so no damage. I'm older now I've been coloring my hair this way for 4o years. I'd like to dye the whole thing a lovely golden tone blonde so that my grey that grows fast doesn't show as quickly. What is the best recommended way to do this.

[@christinahurt7505]

I have been doing the same since I was very young too with light to med golden brown roots and doing my own handpainted balayage caramel highlights. Since my hair has gotten more grey and white in front at 56 not sure which process will give same color results. Trying to avoid color with ammonia too.

[@ldybozz]

There’s a reason stubborn gray strands tend to be coarser and wirier in texture. As well as losing pigment over time, hair gets a reduced supply of natural oils from the scalp. The cuticle, the outermost layer of every hair strand. Can be particularly thick and strong on gray hair. Under a microscope, a hair cuticle looks like a series of interlocking scales. If those scales are tightly closed, then moisture, hair products, and (in this case) hair color will have a hard time soaking in. This is why permanent dye formulas contain heavy alcohols or ammonia to force open the cuticle and guarantee color deposit.

[@Nah481]

Curly hair gets dry very quickly just because of the formation of the hair cuticle that you described. Similar to a palm tree top where the cut leaves are not closed, curly hair cuticles are not closed together really well so oil and moisture escapes. Scalp oil works well overnight

[@kathystclair9485]

Kristy, I love your videos. I have been coloring my own roots and do my highlights for 16 years when needed. My grow out is 100% grey now. I use a 7NN and sometimes a dash of ash, although I think it makes the roots too dark and dull. I noticed you talked about using 30 Vol, which I have always used a 20 Vol. I do notice before I'm ready for a touch up again, which is every 3 to 4 weeks, it has a red tinge in the roots. I would like to ditch the Ash as I feel it makes the color look dull, but my question after seeing this video should I use a 30 Vol developer instead I 20? I am concerned about damage and hot roots with the 30. If you see this and answer I appreciate it!

[@marthadelacruz6021]

I also use 7NN and I was having same results as yours. I made a change, I began using 6NN for my roots 30 developer and 7NN 30 developer for rest of my hair. At the end when I was applying 7NN I would apply a light application of 7NN just to the top of my head where I part my hair. That seems to work for me. Applying 7NN to all my hair was not working because it would leave a reddish brownish discolored roots.

Try hair Botox treatments and silver shampoo. The Botox softens the hair nicely and the silver shampoo keeps the colour nice by toning the yellow out, which tends to happen with grey hair.

For years I have gone to a salon to have my hair professionally lifted from around a 7 to a 9. About 6 months ago I decided I wanted to go back to my natural level 7…but now I have about a 2” section right at the front of my hairline where I part my hair that is 100% white. The rest of my hair has barely any gray strands coming through, maybe 10% gray strands. How would I go about mixing the color to deposit it? My hair is very dense, but it’s a normal thickness and texture -not fine or course.

[@J9022-r9u]

I use 6NN 20 volume every 2 to 3 weeks on my roots to cover my close to full gray re-growth, but this always gives me a gross looking hot roots, everytime. So bright and brassy and reddish looking just at my roots. My roots always look lighter than my overall length. My length is nice 6NN which I love the best. I hate my hot roots because it looks very weird and un-naturally unclassy to have bright hot roots with a 6NN color through my length. What do I need to do to achieve no hot roots? 30 volume to lift more or 10 volume to deposit more? I don't understand the own hair on my head anymore since getting gray re-growth. I tried to go 6A with 20 volume and it was even worse hot roots.

[@patriciah.967]

Excellent and informative explanation. Thanks so much. A few months ago I had my hair highlighted and roots done, I have been trying to go more ashy with the highlights and colour because my hair tended to go orange after time with previous highlights. My natural hair is 6. I told the stylist I wanted darker roots because it would be easier for me to colour. The stylist wrote the colours used and toner used. When my roots had grown out I coloured them with a Redken 7nn and 20 volume like the stylist told me but my hair was so dark and the middle and ends lovely. A few days ago I went back and previous stylist was off sick so I had a different stylist I told her it was too dark at root area and wanted highlights to match ends and my roots doing. She did a 7nn on roots (although my hair is fine but lots of grey) and highlights turned out fine she toned the roots in 7nb and 9 (I think that's what she told assistant). After watching this video I think I should use a 30 developer. I wish I had known.

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Patricia I read your comment completely and if I were coloring your hair I would definitely go with the 30 volume. This is because your hair is fine and they are formulating with NN. So basically if you formulate with nn on fine hair you should use volume 30 and if you formulate with N then use volume 20. What percentage of grey do you have? I’m asking because if your hair was looking more warm that’s because of underlying pigments which brings me to think that you do not have that much grey.

For example in Schwarzkopf if you dye your grey with a 6-0, you can look for that same color in there Toner (Vibrance)! You would then mix from “Vibrance (Demi-permanent)” 1:1 ratio Keep in mind the toners have their own peroxide lotion. You must use the corresponding peroxide. Example of a formulation : 10 grams 6-0 Vibrance 10 grams of 6 volume peroxide Apply. Processing time varies but 20 minutes should get the job done. Rinse and wash out! I hope this helps.

Or, 2- Mix 6-0. ( natural) and 6-2(ash) equal parts with volume 20 developer and apply only to regrowth. Then make a second formula choosing the same colors with a Demi permanent like Vibrance.

[@kristymaccone7045]

@@elinatsinavou8288 you can still use the 7-00 to be more certain if coverage. Just up the peroxide from vol 20 to 30 ( I would do this if I were using a -00 with 60% grey) But,You can try the 7-0 with volume 20, in theory it should cover. But if the texture of the grey hair specifically is a bit thicker than the rest of your hair, then the coverage could vary. I hope this helps.

I used to be a red head and my hair is 80% grey/white but it's dull. I want to go 100% white and I don't know how to do it. I miss having "statement color" hair.

[@katiemoore672]

I was a redhead too, it seems like we lose our uniqueness when we go grey.😮

[@EnnaToribio]

I habe a question, I only have like 10% grey but sadly in the front and crown, I am a 5 level naturally, if I do t want to habe a line of demarcation on my re growth, can I use a Demi 6.N/ 7G (half half) mixed with 10%, do you think this will cover a bit the grey so that it looks like a highlight or it won’t cover at all?

I've always dyed my hair at home and I've always gone for a light blonde look, but in recent years my hair has gone quite grey and I feel like the light blonde dye isn't doing me justice anymore I feel like I look washed out so I'm wondering whether a golden blonde would be better, what would you advise please? Than you.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

It really depends on your skin tone, which you don’t mention. Find videos that talk about how to find the right color blonde for your skin tone.

[@peanutco7635]

Why do most colours you buy in a shop barely cover grey hair! I’ve not coloured my hair for 2 years and I’m now 40% grey! I used to lift my hair with full head bleach by 3 shades the koleston 2000 12/0 followed by a toner. Im obviously worried colouring it to what I used to have but probably looking at a 10/0 maybe. Im a 6/0 I think. Interesting hearing about the thickness of the grey hair strand on the ends. Im unsure what percentage of peroxide I would need. I used to have 40% , not so sure 20% would life my salt & pepper hair

I'm glad gray hair goes faster. Let it show

[@albanaselim1355]

Hi Kristy! I love the way you explain the gray covering! I just have a client today that ask to go from level 8 to 9.She have 75 % gray on roots. And she want to go lighter all over.What do you suggest me?

[@Angela-ir4qw]

Hi Kristy thanks for your video. I color my own grey roots that always tend to wind up a little bit lighter than the rest of my hair. I don't have much grey maybe 10 - 20% and my hair texture is not fine or coarse. What do you suggest to avoid slightly lighter roots. I'd prefer not to go darker and want everything to be a 5 which is the color I use. I am a natural 4-5.

[@cameronfink1302]

you need to go darker than your target goal. resistant gray has more cuticle layers. which is why it looks translucent. if you have resistant gray (tight, SHINY cuticles) you need more, more saturated pigment. so always use 4 if you want to be a 5. if you pull dark around the hairline, use a lighter color (maybe a 5 or a 66.0) 20 vol is optimum

[@recuerdos2457]

Darker roots actually look more natural if you touch up anyway…

[@lisasomers547]

OK good information but obviously she’s not a professional because there’s no such thing as 20% developer it’s 20 volume which is 6%. Be very careful don’t ever look for a 20%. It will burn your hair off.

Hello just wanted to let you know your title for the video says Gay Hair. I believe you meant to write Grey Hair.

[@kristymaccone7045]

Thank you so much. I Am fixing it right now. Thanks again for being so kind and letting me know.

[@guyivie8987]

This is great information, but that irritating low hum in your audio makes it really difficult to listen for very long.

[@JaneSmith0709]

If I wanted a dissertation on grey hair I would have searched for that. All I want to know is how to color it, but I'm 5 minutes in and I still don't have the answer. Thumbs down.

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Jane I’ll keep that in mind
