How To Fix These 3 Common Hair Color Issues

hi everyone welcome back to my channel and in today's video we are going to go over three pretty major kind of a hair issues and colors and i'm going to go over the formulations and basically what would need to be done to fix those hair color problems so i actually filmed these formulations earlier as a part of another video and then in the edit i realized that it was just way too much information so i figured it made more sense to make this video just about these formulations so if you have these three major hair color issues i'm going to go over what it is that you need to do to overcome these colors also the mask me is real and i feel like this is the worst it's been yet so thankfully for you guys it's just going to be an intro and outro so so yeah let's just get into the video so the first one is say you're a brunette and you want to go lighter you want to be blonde so let's take an example of a level 5 here who wants to be a level 9 or 10 blonde so clearly here the first step is to extract color meaning to lift your natural base color so we're going to our bleach our lightener and lift her to that level now if your hair is super healthy and your hair is natural meaning zero artificial color this is most likely possible maybe in one sitting now if you have any color any toner any previously lightened hair and you're starting at a level five most likely this will take more than one session just for the lightening process just to lighten the hair to that level nine or ten once you're at a level nine or ten what you're going to go back in with is a toner so basically just adding tone back in so basically just depositing extra tones over that lightened hair so that you achieve the perfect tone that you are after whether that's something more buttery and golden or something more ash alright scenario number two is you have gray hair and you have previously colored your hair you were just looking to match your roots to that color and refresh that existing color that you have now if you're going with boxed color you're most likely going to mix that one potion and apply it from root to ends to refresh from root to ends and the reason why that is wrong is because that hair that is not your root has previously already been colored so it's already a completely different scenario than that root color so we have to treat each area as its own hair so the first thing that you treat is the root which needs the most coloring so because there is gray present you know you need a permanent hair color to effectively cover that gray i would recommend mixing that with a 20 volume developer because that's going to open up the hair enough so that that gray hair which is typically resistant is going to receive those pigments and i always recommend and neutral shade to cover gray regardless of the tone you're after so say you're going for an ashy brown and you have gray if you plan on using say a level six ash on your base just imagine the hair is already gray and then you're adding a gray ashy tone on top of it now does gray cancel out gray absolutely not so you're just going to have maybe a slightly darker gray so the best and most effective way to actually cover gray is to go in with a neutral this is only coloring and treating that rude area so far now in order to refresh your ends or anywhere from your midsection down if say you want to add a little more vibrancy to your color you want to refresh that color instead of going in with permanent color because it's not necessary that hair is already covered what you want to go in with is a toner because the toner is actually acidic there's no need to reopen the hair and add tones in you're looking to do is stain the hair once again with that same level and tone that is being used on the roots it's far less damaging in the long run it will add a ton more shine to the hair because that's what the hair is craving and you'll have beautiful seamless results so the third and last scenario is having somewhat of a warm brown base and wanting it to go ash now if you're starting off with a reddish brown and you want to end up with ashy brown tones unfortunately putting a brown ash permanent color on top of that is not going to get you there and so if you have golden tones you're probably naturally a level four or five or six and if you're wanting to stay in the same level but more ashy the only effective way to do that is to actually lift the hair to about an eight or a nine and then add ash tones on top of that the reason for that is while you're in between that level four and that level eight where all those red tones are present adding an ash on top of really strong red pigments is not going to show up as ash when you have a blonde and you add an ash toner that ash really shows because the base because the canvas is light and bright so imagine taking a very light light yellow piece of paper if you were to take a purple highlighter and draw through it you would clearly see that they're violet purpley pigments if you were to take that same highlighter marker and go over a piece of paper that's reddish brown it would just look darker in no way would you be able to tell if there are any violet or purpley pigments added and so the same thing with toner the only way to actually showcase ashy gray violety tones is for the base or the background to be brighter so whether this was in the salon or now in my virtual consoles i get this question at least a couple times a week where i just want to be ash brown but i don't want to use any bleach and i just want a toner unfortunately if you use a toner the only way you can add ash pigments or tone down that warmth is to go darker so if you don't want to go darker you say you're a level six and you want to stay at a level six but you want to be ash you need to lift at least two levels so that you can add the ash tones and then finish back at a level six but this way you are left with cool ash pigments all right so i feel like with those three scenarios we're hitting the three major hair issues so hopefully if you have been coloring your hair whether at a salon or at home and you can't seem to achieve the hair color that you are after hopefully these three scenarios have kind of hit close to home in one way or another and hopefully you are better able to understand why you haven't gotten there and now what you actually need to get there all right guys that is it hopefully that was helpful if there are other hair color situations that you would like me to dive a little deeper and kind of a dissect for you please leave them down below and in next week's video i'm choosing my subscribers questions that you guys leave me in the comments and i'm dedicating that video to answering those questions and after that i'm going to be bringing you a hair transformation i feel like it's time it's been a while since i've done that i'm going to be taking off my extensions coloring my hair and sharing the whole process with you so definitely stick around for that all right guys thank you so much for tuning in i love you guys and i'll see you in the next one bye guys
