[@brandygriffiss]

From a professional standpoint, be cautious when using SO much conditioner before a bleach/ color service. You can soften the hair TOO much and it will just melt when you apply the bleach or color. Knowing your Hair porosity is very very important!

[@Mereship]

Really? I thought you were supposed to condition and do masks and olaplex before bleaching.

I'm a cosmetologist but haven't practiced for a number of years, either. I did my own blonde from a level 4 dark brown for years, but then went back to natural a couple years ago, but hate it. Hesitant to do my own again, even with my experience, but you did such an amazing job. Truly amazing! Looks great! And as someone else mentioned, it would be in the $200 range or more. You saved a ton!

[@melindahale6444]

Amateur tip: while doing this process I had a really hard time holding 2 foils in place. I used the foils with one side colored and what I did was put the colored sides together, fold one end over twice them unfold it. You now have a super long single foil to work with, which if you're not super experienced at foils like I am this was a BIG HELP! Prep your double foils in advance if you have long hair!!

Hi! Just wondering if you have any recommendations on post-dye/bleach hair treatments/masks/products you use to prevent damage or put moisture back in your hair after the coloring process?? Thank you!

[@Rosa4Lovee]

ahhhh i did this and was actually following your video as i did my hair. i was loving the way the bleach lifted but then i realized i actually picked up hair dye rather than toner and basically my hair turned a light brown with some red in it 😓 what do you recommend i do? i was planning to go get the proper toner and do that but i know that will just tone the hair and not necessarily make it lighter like i originally wanted. can i bleach again?

Seriously you should get a million likes. Not even kidding. Thank you! -1. OMG I so appreciate you using something the average person can buy! Every other video is either a licensed cosmetologist using professional products or amateurs doing something I’ve never seen before with sometimes decent results.(sometimes not) I have had hit or miss with Sally’s products but many times they work it’s just over the years I’ve forgotten which did really well. 2. That was so easy to follow and though it seems like a lot, those of us who have done this before know, that was a huge and successful shortcut. Doing the weaving how you did and then balayage-amazballs! I have similar hair as you (long) mine is a bit lighter from occasional diy highlights. So this was so great. Even your bathroom with the toys was familiar!😂 I have 2 littles 👫 and they have too many bath toys. Lol

I do have a question for you though if you get a chance to read my comment... I’ve had a problem before with toner lifting my roots (I guess because of the 20 vol 🤷‍♀️) any suggestions on how to prevent that?

[@johnhenrytran4427]

Hi, i wanna dye my hair just like her, or i wanna get a natural brown color, i have black hair so i have no idea how to get it natural brown, i have no idea what products to buy to get it, and is it safe to color my hair again after i have had hair damage? I got the damage 2 years ago so i dont know if its still safe cause some of my hair is falling out, not extremely much just a little. I also have like white things when i scratch my head. But yea i really need a natural looking brown color that it looks like its not dyed. Thanks if you can help me

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

John Henry Tran my suggestion is to do a 2 step protein and moisturizer treatment called aphogee before any color. Also use coconut oil on your scalp & hair for a week each night and wash off each morning before you color. The only way to lighten your hair is bleach or a hi lift color. I suggest a gentle bleach like Clairol Kaleidocolors to lighten to desired amount. After that you can use either a mix of darker toners like a Wella T14 (ash tone) a T10 ( beige tone) & a T28 (natural blonde). To get a light brown just don’t let the bleach set as long and use a level 20 developer not a 30 or mix.

[@johnhenrytran4427]

@@TiffanysBunnyGang okay thank you so much! :D

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

John Henry Tran one more thing to do is do a deep conditioning about 3 days after color. Shea Moistures I think is the brand name has a lot of good deep conditioning treatments, they have it at Sally’s or Walmart. A leave in conditioner spray is also a good idea after each shower. This is the process I use after going blonde. I have medium brown hair and had to bleach several times to lighten to the shade I wanted. My hair is so healthy looking a very soft.

[@catmomamadeo5384]

Thank you for this information. My hair used to be a medium golden blonde but I wanted to try a darker reddish brown to match the hair growth underneath. It looked really great on me...until the gray started growing in and then it was a nightmare. I tried to keep up with it but eventually the gray won out. So I let it grow several inches and then used an ion medium blonde to cover the gray with a 20 volume developer. Problem is that the ends are still really dark and I want a more uniform color distribution. Right now the top of my head is gray and the funky darker color is still on the bottom. With the quarantine in place and not working I figured it was not as urgent to deal with the gray. I went to the salon to inquire about the color blending and cost to do it. I was told that bleaching that bottom area would damage it and the gal at the salon suggested a weave to help with blending the 2 colors. As you said...expensive. I was quoted around $150 to have that done at Perfect Look but the gal I spoke with does not do color and suggested coming back when the colorist was there to verify the price. I do not know how to do a weave and am not comfortable doing it on my own in spite of your demo. I wish there was an easier way. :-((

Hi. I usually buy drug store hair dye but i came across your video and wanted to give your method a try. Im scared to use actual bleach specially doing it by myself. Although you made it looked so easy. I had my hair professionally bleached about 2 years ago and i just keep retouching my roots with regular drug store hair dye. (Ive been dying my own hair in many years so i somewhat know how to do it but im not professional) So my hair isnt too dark but almost like dark blonde with brown roots. I found a quick blue bundle on amazon with wella T18 toner and 20 volume developer. Its a bundle so i figured its a good deal. On your video i saw that you had that big developer bottle and 2 small developers, but im wondering if I can use the same developer on quick blue and wella? Is it necessary to have different ones?

[@kalynhumphrey2249]

[@libbyfarris3934]

Did this three months ago and got so many compliments on my hair! My hair is naturally a chocolate brown with some natural highlights in it, but I wanted to dye my hair a light purple so I used this method for a natural looking ombre that would be light enough for me to put light purple over it with semi-permanent hair dye. I liked the lightened hair so much that I left it for about a month before I actually dyed it purple. A quick disclaimer, I am no professional and have actually never bleached my hair at home before this. Somehow with absolutely no bleach experience whatsoever, my hair came out looking really great! Don't be scared, immediately after bleaching it looked a little yellow and orangey but once you add in the Wella toner that orange goes right away and evens out to a nice blonde! My friend liked it so much that she has asked me to do this to her hair as well! Definitely recommend this method to anyone looking to bleach at home! Even after bleaching, my hair feels soft and healthy with very little damage! I follow up with a deep conditioner once a week and just leave it on in the shower for about 15 minutes to keep my hair healthy. I couldn't get a hold of the It's a 10 miracle deep conditioner she suggests so I ended up going with Mielle Babassu and Mint Deep Conditioner and absolutely LOVE the smell! Definitely recommend!
