Fantastical! I’m so blown away by this. I’ve been coloring my hair for years and love playing with colors and pigments, and I’ve watched hundreds of not thousands of tutorials. Yours is the first that took color theory to such an artistic and thoughtful direction that now I’m rethinking color all together. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your brilliance, this is life changing.
This is my first video of yours. You are legit the bees knees. You KNOW what you are talking about. I learned so much in this one video. I will subscribe. I will share this video.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! As a professional hairstylist, I’ve always had this issue! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this detailed video! I was formulating to counteract the underlying pigment left at the end result & not every level of underlying pigment along the way. Will be trying this newly learned way of formulating in the morning on a client. Thank you so much!!!
Absolutely! I did the same that you were at first, this method took me some thinking when I first learned it. Then when I put it to the test I was amazed.
I was just about to say I can’t wait to give this a shot. I’ve always formulated for end result as well, so I am super eager to try this formulation method.
Ive been doing my own hair for ten years now on and off, and although i do pretty well , ive always had to take unnecessary steps to correct my color on my own resulting in multiple steps you dont ever experience at a salon.. ultimately resulting in the cost being MORE at home than w a professional… so in saying that. Watching so many videos about formulation and bleaching and hi lift. This is the only video ive seen that really slapped me across the face and made everything ive learned so far actually make sense and cut out all bs ive run into. Youre very smart, you know your stuff and you explained it in a way that can be difficult to convey. You are a natural teacher. I hope you are doing well in life. Im just wowing my face off over here. I wish i could do hair professionally! I am hue blind. So i always have to call my friends and ask them to match my color so i know what to do next. So idk that i could ever do it professionally one day, that would kill someones confidence in me if one ever knew. But ughhhh i am literally obsessed w hair color and blonding. Its all i ever think about. Thanks so much for this video its awesome!🎉
This is greatttt advice! The last part about the colour vs developer / activator ratios really makes sense -- I mix on a 1 to 1.5 colour: W 30 vol developer ratio to cover my mum's greys ... Works every time!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Angelo! I have always loved hi-lift color, but never had the counteractions explained quite that way before, makes it seem much easier! Fantastic!!
Thank you so much! Im going from a level 6 or 7 natural brown to (hopefully) platinum and this helped me figure out which Wella products to purchase and how to use them!
Finally someone who explained what I had been searching for in such an easy way. Since I'm not a hairdresser but mess with my own color often I'm excited to try some HL color.
I found this when I already done my root shadow... but, if I go back lighter again, I have to try :) thank you for posting. Before I was only mixing 12.81 and 12.11 and it was too warm. Now I know why...
I’m going to do this next. You are so brilliant and easy to follow along with. You explained everything in such a succinct way, love the artist take on it because my hair is a way I express my creativity
Great tutorial.. Thanks Explains why my hair always throws to a red or gold even though I put ash ash ash I need to mix in a few more colours thanks a million.. Subscribed
Also you could knock down your ratio from 2:1 to 1:1 I knew it’s not most manufacturers directions, but if you think about it, the color still works about the same, but you’re increasing the dye load
First off thank you for this! I’m a natural strawberry blonde with blonde balayage. I purchased 8BC (root beer) and 9A/940 (pale ash blonde) for my roots and 20 vol. I’m not looking for too much lift, just want less warm tones throughout before I touch up and add a few more blonde pieces throughout. Friends, pls let me know if I’m about to make a huge mistake!
@@angeloterracciano8222 my hair is at a level 8 and want to get to the 12/96 range .. how can I achieve this and what brand of hi lift do you recommend?
@@sailormoonXx without seeing and feeling the hair in person is hard to recommend and exact formula. But in theory, I’d say wella professionals 2 parts 12/81 And 1 part 12/61 with double 40 vol. That should get you the lightest blonde and the most neutral to cool tone.
This was incredible thank you for sharing. Im a wella fan so it's great to see this formulation. Also, I don't do too many high lifts or color on virgin hair because I know it shows up warm. But I have to say to this in perspective on using different tones to cancel out the different undertones one by one really was an eye opener so thank you 🫶
Hi. Thanks. I used to use a lot of high lifts before . Since I started working with redken recently I didn't have the opportunity . But today I recommended to new client to do the strand test for balayage. Coz she has virgin hair. And now I found your video now. Most of the time at the salon , recommended with bleaching. I think we can achieve the beautiful color with the high lifts. When they want few lifts.
If you're adding green into the formula where you also have blonde hair, how is that going to turn out? We didn't see a sample, but I can imagine that the green hitting that blonde hair is going to make it look pretty interesting....? Do you have a follow-up video where you actually did this?
I knew some of the his, trough lot of reaserch and time spent on google and ytube. Thats why its so nice and kind of you to help😯. It takes kindness and humbleness. (Eng not my mother language..you know what I mean) Sharing is caring. Sending love from Europe.🙋❤️
Wow I just stumbled across your video and I just want to say kudos to you. You are so knowledgeable and the way that you explain things was just fantastic!!! I'm gonna subscribe right now!!!
Now it makes sense. You are awesome at explaining color theory. You sound like a great teacher/mentor. So the result of this formula would be a level 9 neutral/natural blonde. Is that correct?.
You have explained hair colors in amazing way. I have been to 5 stylists and watched numerous videos for the last month and none of them explain like you. ❤ I do have a question. My overall hair is at a 7 already. I dyed all my hair. What do you suggest for my formula to get to a 10? My hair does not like bleach so Hi-lift is working just a slow process cuz I had black dyed hair. Please help
Best info I've found.🙌 I realize this vid is 3 yrs old ...still hoping I can get some help.🙏🤞 2 quick ?'s: 1) If going from level 7 vs. 5, should I just use 1 part of the 1st color instead of 3 parts? 2) What does the "double" mean re: the 30 or 40 vol developer? (I'm not a professional...just do my own, at home - usually with Ion hi-lift 12.2 & 30 vol.) ~ Thx in advance for help/advice.✌😊
Well, I can at least answer your second question... the "double" he means regarding the 30 or 40 vol is pouring twice as much developer than the amount of the hair color dye. So if you are using a hi-lift 12.2, let's say 30grams, then for developer you'd add 60 grams. (With regular color, non-hi-lift, you'd usually mix 30grams color, 30 grams developer, so 1 to 1 ratio but with hi-lift color, you mix 1 to 2 ratio) Hope that helps!
Back with another question: if you have a few different levels in your hair from previous lightening, for example, pieces that are 12, some that are 10, some that are 8…. And you use a high lift with a goal of….. 9? Is that going to color the 10 and 12 and bring them down to 9 while raising the 8 to 9? Or should you just color all over with an 8 and shoot for higher at a later date? TIA! ❤️
Your video was most informative and very important. I told my daughter I had removed the dark brown tint from my hair with Revlon something blonde and I wanted to go with an ash color since my hair has turned gray and white but its not gray now its a light auburn. As you can tell I am definitely a novice. Her last words to me was wait awhile because you are damaging the cortex and I don't want to find you bald. How damaging is it to tint your hair frequently?
Hello! This video was very helpful! I'm going to try using these exact products to color my natural roots at home. I'm level 6, with some grey hair popping out here and there. What do you suggest to use, volume 30 or volume 40 developer? And should I use any toner afterwards? Thank you in advance! Have a nice day!
I picture the cuticle like a beaker (science lol I mean after all we are talking about chemicals and a bit of chemistry right?) full of water that essentially needs to be emptied. Once it’s open (emptied) you can fill it with whatever you like :)

Hello! This video was very helpful! I'm going to try using these exact products to color my natural roots at home. I'm level 6, with some grey hair popping out here and there. What do you suggest to use, volume 30 or volume 40 developer? And should I use any toner afterwards? Thank you in advance! Have a nice day!
Can we just add extra direct tones from special mixtones - like green, blue or violet?
Good question. Yes, but I find that because they’re so concentrated I’d suggest doing some tests first on hair swatches.
I picture the cuticle like a beaker (science lol I mean after all we are talking about chemicals and a bit of chemistry right?) full of water that essentially needs to be emptied. Once it’s open (emptied) you can fill it with whatever you like :)
