So I watched this on Instagram but wanted to comment - YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@KarenLorre]

Wayne, I have seen that you have commented on a couple women's videos saying how beautiful they are! That is such a beautiful quality - to see beauty everywhere. Thank you, on behalf of all women! And I agree, Nadine, you are so beautiful and fun and funny!

[@kidsinthecastle]

:-) I’m a hairdresser. Not looking awayyyy! ;-) You did a great job. The way I look at it, when someone wants to color their own hair, I’d rather give them proper instructions and suggestions of good products than make arguments for why they need a pro (me) to do it. Have gained and retained many clients by doing that...they still need haircuts, blowouts, and have family members and friends they will recommend. ANYway, Matrix color is my favorite and most effective and Ive used them ALL over the years. If you are covering gray hair however, try the 500 series of Socolor. It’s just like what you are using, called 508N and is double pigmented to better cover gray and last longer.

Nadine you´re a star!! So down to earth, practical and absolutely gorgeous!!

[@Angela-on6cd]

Oh, I wish I had seen this before I did my own last week. I have now turned copper, the greys still show through and I missed whole sections!! How did you not get a drop of dye on your face or neck line? I made such a mess. Great video. Thank you.

[@loriharris6040]

You sre one brave woman.....hair coloring is a fact of life for millions and now you' ve demonstated your home hair coloring in a video.

[@princesscharlott1983]

Nice to see someone being honest about it! Thank you nadine!

[@mariamccarron8735]

Thanks Nadine, I'm just starting to home colour as can't afford to go to hairdresser every 3 weeks to get grey coloured and these are much appreciated tips! Your a star

[@Yoloddydoddy]

Fabulous! Thanks for being so brave and transparent and sharing such personal, and useful information! A grown-up doing grown-up hair... No bleach or toner, just a refresh of base color. I have dyed my own, not always with success, because I haven't been consistent with product. I think consistency of product is key, and I do like you, when it starts to look obviously unprofessional, I see a professional 😉. You are gorgeous! Your hair looks gorgeous! I don't think you need any color correcting at all! Thank you for such a useful video!! As far as I'm concerned, this is now the gold standard video on KZbin about how to do an at-home touch up. 👏 😘

[@iahorvath]

Thank you Nadine for demystifying this for us...YES!! You are definitely right to have told us about this..I've been using the splashy hair dye to do my roots for years and will now equip myself properly...NO, you are not taking work away from the professional colourist because I've been doing my roots myself for years. Now I can do them properly..big thank you to you..you're great!

[@bernardetterobinson]

I love this. It’s good to be brave. I bleach my hair and have been doing so for 12 years since I lost my hair through Chemo. I used to be brunette. I’d love to go to a colour like you, light but not platinum blonde as I am now. I’ve spoken to my stylist but she insists I get her to do it at considerable expense, every 2 to 3 weeks. You are inspiring me to have a go at changing my colour myself. I know about block colouring first so my hair doesn’t turn green. But I’m nervous too. I just love how your hair looked after colouring it. Live life! Thanks Nadine. Xxx

[@missrockandrolla]

Hi Nadine, thank you so much for doing this video and showing your greys to the world. I’ve recently gone from having 20-30% greys to about 70% in a very short period of time due to some hormonal changes, so I can relate to having to colour my roots every 2-3 weeks. I have done so for years, as my first grey strand made an appearance at 11 years old - I’m 30 now. I usually resort to a spray from Charles Worthington or the Color Wow powder to conceal during my last week, as my hair grows so fast.

[@billiej03l]

Fabulous Nadine. So glad you did this video, and gave us links to products.

[@Jodiescox]

So much respect for you Nadine. Honest, open, refreshing. I’ve been colouring and trimming my own hair for the last 5 years. Fine hair base 8 also, although I mix three different 8s for my tone as advised by my tony and Guy colourist friend as it goes brassy really easily, but some straight 8 helps cover greys better. Great video, this is what women want.

[@mariaworthington5584]

Yes, thank you for doing this. I will try the pony tail technique next time I colour my hair. Your amazing.x

[@trishk4876]

This tutorial is so helpful. Thank you for your straight forward directions Nadine. Wonderful information!

[@positivebeauty5998]

This was the best DIY tutorial I have seen! 👏 I also have to say that this was the most glamorous root colouring tutorial too! Haha 😂 Well done Nadine!! You did a faboulous job! 😊👌💕

[@SusanGracie]

Thank you so much for making this video. Its not something I have ever considered before but with your support I might give it a go. Thank you for all your great content and for being an honest voice. We need more people like you 💛

[@lindaleef]

If I could give you two thumbs up I would! Thank you SO much for finally doing this for all of us. I’m coloring my roots tomorrow and I’m going to try your technique! Keep up the good work Nadine! 💜

[@cathb4682]

Absolutely, I'm glad you showed us! 😊

[@kamhowe9315]

Thx nadine, u really are a brave little star!! U made it look so easy!! Thx x

[@RockeyToes]

Great video! You're right about using the proper tools, it really makes a difference! The only tip I'd add is to do an allergy patch test, always a good idea just in case you have a reaction to the dye or developer. I'm naturally very dark ash brown (Eastern European heritage), 75% gray but when dying (mostly at the crown), I've always lightened (1/2 shade lighter) and added warmth (golden/red). At 52, if I matched my base color, it would be really harsh-looking; my features are naturally sharp/angular and as we age, our faces lose depth and and that youthful glow. Going a touch lighter and warmer adds brightness back to my features and warms my skin tone. At some point, I may stop dying but not ready for that yet.

[@kathleendollard347]

I have been trying to figure this out so thanks for putting it up, I will try tomorrow night my self now xx

[@hipretty]

I don't know how anyone is supposed to get the results they are looking for from a box or even DIY'ing at home from beauty supply products! Your hair turned out beautiful, and I am amazed at your results Nadine! Just looking at 8N in google images, there is such a wide discrepancy of color swatches from all the different brands! 8N appears to be anything from light ash blonde to strawberry blonde!!! I am a stylists daughter and grew up in salons all my life!!! I was a brownish red that became completely ombre naturally in summer sun or holiday, with the palest strawberry ends. I still cannot figure out how to color my roots similar to my original virgin color without going completely orange! The parting is now white mixed with drab, no trace of red at all! Hats off to you!!! 😘💗🙏🌺

[@anniehall709]

You were totally right to do this video! 😊 very good demonstration and open and honest about those pesky greys! I’m so the same but dark and am exactly in your camp of at home root treatment! Who has the time and money to spend in a salon every three weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks Nadine 😘xx

[@kathy-annecarr9115]

I colour my roots all the time - so much more cost effective! I then leave my hair stylist to do the highlights and low lights (every 6 months). Like you I've found that as the root colour fades out it blends quite nicely with the blonder bottom. My hair is quite a bit longer than yours and so I often get my husband to do it for me.

[@janewalsh1201]

Nadine, you do look very pretty. I love your openness and honesty. And your delightful sense of humor!

[@patkern185]

I love that you're doing this yourself. With all the access you have to the top people in beauty not only are you doing hair color and cutting at home but you don't mind showing us that you're a real person. I get such a kick out of watching you and get great information, too. My biggest home hair color goof was back in the "frosted" highlight days where specific hairs were pulled with a crochet hook through small holes on a tight cap that fit snugly on your head. Then you applied a bleaching toner on the exposed hair. I had done this several times but one time I decided to multitask and do some cleaning while the product worked. I wrapped my head in plastic wrap so as not to drip on anything. At the specified time I washed it out but because of the body heat I generated it over lightened and my "highlights" were dry, brittle white hairs. Hahaha!

[@cheekylibraryon4405]

Fabulous! It turned out just great, so thanks for sharing your process!

[@kimberlyszucs2844]

Thank you so much! I have been doing my own color for about 20 years in between professional colorings and could never do my "parting" very well. You make it look super easy and foolproof so I will definitely be giving it a try. Great video!

[@lolahicks592]

Thank God you posted this Nadine! Never thought I'd be doing this moiself x

[@pammalin9188]

Nadine, thank you! Depending how long this quarantine goes on, I may be doing this. I would have never thought to ask my hairdresser for my base color number, thank you! You made it look easy!

[@TracyD2]

This is the best do it yourself tutorial I’ve seen in a long time. Brilliant with the loose ponytail. All these years experimenting, how did I miss that trick.

[@dianacole852]

Sooo tru

[@JAB941]

Thank you Nadine! Perfect timing, my grey roots are driving me mad. I will tackle them at home now x

[@kayisonyoutube3435]

Excellent video Nadine, you are right the two tone is very natural. Your hair always looks fabulous! No need to hide behind the sofa!

[@kimmytilley5883]

Nadine, this video is BRILLIANT!! Thank you so much for your transparency and sharing such a personal moment to help us make our lives better. So, grateful that you gave us the links for tools to make it look more professional and easier. You are an absolutely gorgeous woman inside and out! I always feel like I'm hanging with a best friend when I watch your videos. You are my go to person for all things, beauty...you're a QUEEN 👑💎⭐️😘💛🌹

So helpful thanks to you I am now totally loving and obsessed with colouring my hair at home it’s so inexpensive and becoming more confident so yeah thanks so much

[@margod9464]

Thank you, Nadine, for sharing this. I really appreciate you always sharing your knowledge. I do color my roots but you made it look easy and encourage me that I am doing it right.

[@naya786_5]

Thank you for doing this video. It covers a topic that many do not wish to discuss...💜

Only Nadine could continue to look fabulous while doing an at-home dye. Thank you for the tutorial! My grays continue to creep in, I’ll need this.😉

[@CSS-rc6kl]

Loved it - you’re the BEST! Looks gorgeous!

[@tpearson6748]

Brilliant! Tried your method today. It works! Thank you

[@SFFogWalker]

At last, thanks to you Nadine, I may finally have the courage to try my own root cover-up. I simply don't have the time or budget to get my roots colored every 3 weeks and home color is the only other option. Thank you for your tutorial and for helping me see that a root touch-up at home is not rock science. I will ask my colorist for my base color and give it a shot, starting with a small section to get my confidence. You're the best!!!!

[@CarolinaLS1]

Bravo ! I use to go get my greys covered every 2 to 3 weeks and now I touch up my roots. I still go to my colorist but only every few months for highlights. I love not having to worry about making such frequent appointments and can do my hair at my own leisure. I don’t understand why so many women are so afraid to color their hair ! Thanks so much for this great video !,

[@kathleenphipps2532]

You're fierce and it's a joy to watch ☺️

[@strawberry1025]

Thank you SO much for this. The ponytail tip is the game changer for me with fine, fluffy hair.

[@karens9722]

Awesome! I do this and my stylist also told me exactly what brand and color to purchase. I only need my full color every few months for highlights. Your helpful tips were excellent ! Luv’d this!

[@misiuhagen4926]

I’m ready to try! Thank you so much!!

[@deeradek7471]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's just what I was looking for. I've colored my own hair for years but always all of it at once and am never pleased with the color until about 4-6 weeks later. You did an excellent job of coloring your roots and explaining how. I'm trying it today. Thanks also for the links.

[@Makeupgalore1]

I'm doing this today (lockdown). Great video to help. I'm dark so should be able to manage now I know how. Your hair looks great. Very multi-tonal, very very natural.

[@sarahbutler7504]

Exactly what I do! I can't afford to go to the salon as often as my white roots dictate! Love this video Nadine ❤

[@TrujilloRosalba]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have always colored my hair myself, used to color it for fun, but now for the grays. The loose pony tail trick is very helpful, I also have most of my grays on the top... and the side burns are super stubborn! They only hold on to the hair color for maybe 2 weeks... then I start seeing my "highlights". 😑

[@carolinejohn4537]

That's exactly what happens to my hair, drives me crazyyyyyy !!!

[@fionaokane5019]

Excellent Nadine, I've also been doing my own hair for years but your video has given me an easier way to do it......thanks and also for the links 😍😊

[@janiceduerr620]

I am 67 and was getting my hair professionally colored with highlights until about a year ago when I decided to try to grow my hair longer so I could wear it up in a messy bun. Since so little of my hair shows now, I decided to do it myself. I only leave mine on about 25 minutes and then run the color through the ends for 5 minutes to blend it a bit more. Save a lot of money and time. Thanks for sharing how you do it.

[@Truth1561]

Janice Duerr I sometimes run the colour through the ends as well ,but it takes 10 minutes for me .

[@cocoandblackie]

I'm glad you did this! Thank you! Its annoying that the professional brands are so ... (I don't know what the word is...) They probably assume they are protecting the hairdressing industry but really they are missing a massive market. There will always be times where you want to go to the hairdressers but equally, when you want to colour at home, you want access to the best that is available. Not selling 'professional' versions because they assume people can't read instructions is kind of patronising, its not that different to using a box colour anyway. You end up paying more for inferior product (box colours)... Be interesting to see when these brands wise up and democratise the hair industry like skincare brands are doing atm...

[@annettebrousseau7332]

During the coronavirus, I'm thinking I will have to do my own roots for the first time in my life as I will miss an appointment. I know my color and will give it a try. Thank you so much!

[@stargazer1789]

I am so glad you made this video, so many people can't afford or have the time for a salon colour that they do it at home, I have trained my husband to do my hi-lights using a Magicap and two different box shades, it works really well. I started when the salon bill got to nearly £100. Any tips that help us create a good look at home are most welcome and Bravo for doing your on screen.

[@kostasfilos5472]

Sara Cox I’m thinking of doing my own highlights at home, is it difficult to use the cap on my own??

[@stargazer1789]

@@kostasfilos5472 It is much harder to do on your own, I tried several times but failed as I couldn't do the back and it was taking me ages. get a friend to help and you can then hold the cap firmly pulled down in place while they hook your hair out. Best if they start at the crown and top of head and work down. Good Luck.
