[@tdelli3675]

What a great idea! I used to be a hairdresser, and when i was in my teens and early 20s I used box colour in every shade and I found it to be very similar to professional colour. I also found that box colour is easier to lift if you want to remove it to lighten it. I never told clients that they shouldn't use box colour.

I loved this Gloss in copper, it made my red almost dull hair so vibrant, I put some on my mom's hair which is dish water blonde and gray, and it turned blonde but with such a slight green tint, hard to explain lol but we both agreed it was better than how it looked before we put it on.

Wow! That came out AMAZING! My question is about shampooing before you color. Alot of box dyes that I have used in the past say to not wash your hair before coloring or to apply to dry hair. Should I actually be washing first and applying to wet hair????

[@catitude4]

What I'm planning on using is called Ion. I got it at Sally's. I used this and Wella N dark blonde on the test I did with a piece of my hair that was my natural color. Bleached it with 30 volume first then tried both colors and the Ion was way better in looks and feel. I don't know if Ion is considered box die. Your toner turned out pretty even in the darker part. It looks warmer.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

What was the formula for ion? Do you know the color code and the developer that you used? I’m just excited and nerding out as a stylist 🤗

[@catitude4]

It says medium blonde 7N. On the Sally website, in the comments a couple people said the developer was 30 but I don't see anywhere on the box or anywhere else where it says that. It does say it covers grey. On the strand of old hair that I used, it came out darker that the Wella dark blonde N. It had more shine and the quality of the hair was better. It has argan, camellia and coconut.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@catitude4 7N is a pretty color. It's a very very light brown. I'm happy that you found something that works for you!

Hi Gabi - fellow Cannuck girl here. Love your channel! Question: i’ve been highlighting my medium brunette hair for almost 2 years. I LOVE being blonde! BUT…it’s now becoming a “solid” blonde. When I first started I loved that it was highlights. How can I started getting some brunette back? Question 2: i also love seeing your brunette hair with warm brunette highlights. Can I go from my blonde back to brunette w warm highlights in one sitting? Or will it have to be in stages? I still LOVe the blonde but mostly feeling it’s too all over now vs highlights. All done by my pro hairdresser whom I love!

I'm about an hour down the 401 and it feels odd to hear SW Ontario being called a tundra when we're both going to get blasted by a humid heat wave the next few days! I've been really interested in the Clairol Gloss to liven up my 'virgin' regrowth as my natural colour is kinda meh. Not really sure which one I should try though. I think I'm a level 5/6 and it'd be nice to brighten a bit but this line seems to offer only warmth to brunettes so I'm also considering the Natural Instincts line, as that seems to offer more options. Mmmdecisions...

I thought box dye needed dirty hair to colour it. It says in the instructions that you will get better results with dirty hair, Shampoo the Night before. Now I have been using box dye for 17 years and the times I colour it after I wash, it's not as pigmented and doesn't last as long.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey! This is a direct dye without a developer which means that it is a toner/stain. A toner needs to be done on damp, washed hair. When you go to the salon and get highlights, they foil the hair using lightener, wash the lightener out and then tone the hair at the sink when the hair is still wet. This particular color is the same. That is why I used damp and clean hair. Regardless of that, hair color that is applied on dirty hair will NEVER yield better results. Permanent color needs to get into the cortex and if there is a lot of product build up and oil on the hair and on the cuticle layer, the developer has to cut through that to deposit the color. You will always always get better results on clean hair no matter what the situation is. Most coloring jobs should be done on clean and DRY hair but if you are using a toner, then it should be done on clean and damp hair. Washing the night before as you mentioned is fine because your hair is not dirty but I have had a few clients think that they shouldn't was their hair for a week before coloring and that is simply not true.

Hi Gabbi, your hair turned out really nice with this! I have a question for you I use box dyes for years but have found that when covering my grey roots it no longer lasts near as long as it used to and it fades out to an awful brassy color! Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. My hair color is dark brown like yours, wavy/curly, and thinning😏

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Gail! Thanks for watching! Okay so my question is what color are you using? What box and what is the color description? Do you know what level your natural hair is?

[@gailbennett7105]

@@GlamGirlGabi Thanks for responding Gabi, So first I don't know my natural hair level is lol. It is a lighter brown than what I have been coloring for oh about 20 years. I always use dark brown and usually go with Claire nice n easy sometimes even the root touch up. I also use Revlon color silk as it has no ammonia. I have always had good luck with a powder hair color called Bigen which lasted a good 3 weeks but nope not anymore. I pretty much just cover my roots anymore. I'm in my 60's so everything is changing!😆

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@gailbennett7105 My mom is in her 60s and the big body changes can be so stressful. I hear you! I think what it happening is that you are not using enough of an N pigment to fully cover your greys. You need a natural pigment to cover greys and they are resistant little suckers. When you look for a color, make sure that it says it covers 100% of greys on the box and don't buy anything that indicates that the color is "warm" or "golden". Don't choose colors like Clairol 4G (Dark Golden Brown) or 4W (Dark Mocha Brown). These colors will fade brassy on grey hair for sure. 4 (Dark Brown) will work better. Remember that the lower the number, the darker the pigment and removing dark pigment is hard so don't go darker then you want or else you may regret it later. If you stick to the level you like, for example a 4 and choose a neutral tone, you should be good to go. I hope I was able to help.

No because there is no developer, this cannot create a permanent color change. It slowly faded away and then washed out after ten washes. It’s impossible for a product like this to create a root demarcation.

How can you judge any color on day one. Let’s see you day 21.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Every color, regardless of the type, will fade within a month. I see clients every 6-8 weeks and by that time, there hair needs some serious love and that’s using Goldwell which is considered one of the most prestige color lines in the world. This is a direct dye so it won’t even last that long. It will last a maximum of ten shampoos so if I wash my hair three times a week, that will be about three weeks of wear time.

Who pays 19.99 for a home box dye lasting only 10 washes? The price is outrageous. No gloves either.

You get multiple applications for it though. I would say you get at least four applications so you’re paying $5.00 per application. Also - just so you know this is in Canadian dollars.

Hi GGG...😃 I'd like to ask your professional opinion about the goods you demoed. I have medium brown & gray hair. As with most people who are 71.5 my hair is salt & pepper. I have in the past and I recently purchased from an at home coloring company who uses professionals and you pick your desired color hair dye with developer. Frankly, I'm having second thoughts about placing color in my hair because of the process & upkeep. When I saw your video on the application of a gloss I thought this my work much better for me. I thought that might be a good solution to put some life back in my haircosmetology. king to much of a commitment. I love the way your hair turned out although I'm certainly not as dark with my natural hair as you are. Do you have an opinion on this I think some of my color shows in the picture although I realize it's not the same as in person My gray is not white white gray it's more of a gray gray... So I'm really not sure based on that what it might look like. I really would like to do something more caramel If possible which I know would be picked up in the gray. I have never used a gloss, I knew they were available but, it has been a while since I practiced cosmetology. Thank you for reading my question, I think You are a credit to the profession of cosmetology. 🌺
