Thanks for watching!
as I mention towards the end - All brands make their own version of these products and the names are the same. So if Redken is not available to you, there are other options but like I've said a million times before, I do find that Redken gives hands down the best results and its the brand I have always chosen to work with at my salon.
If you're covering greys at home - I honestly think your best solution is using eSalon - as I've mentioned in the past, their system is incredible for that: bit.ly/2aHruqR
ellebangs you should do a tort on make-up and hair in this video ! 😘
Have you done an episode on over the counter hair colors (permanent & temporary) and the different brands that someone can get from a local drug store/general store (Walgreens/Alberston's/etc.) that you would recommend? Where I live it is very expensive to have hair color done in a salon and some of my friends live hours away from town but still want to try different colors. Thanks for the help. Love your videos.
My hair dresser also swears by Redkin
I have just bleached my hair (hilites) Using Pravana Pure Light and 20 Vol..... not too bad really but quite a few orange/brassy pieces.. can I bleach a few pieces tomorrow.??
@ellebangs @2:24 You used half & half of 6NA + 8NA. Why not just use 7NA? I have seen pros do this and I always ask but so far no one has replied. Maybe I'll get lucky. :) Thank you
Thank you for addressing gray hair coverage. So funny because I was going to ask you if you could do more videos on over 50 to 100 percent gray. I have always been able to diy my hair since I was a teen but now at 54 and about 75 percent gray and resistant white around my face and ears it's been a challenge. Thank you! Love watching your videos!
I've really come to trust your advise on all things hair related, Sylvia. I hope you can do a similar video on how to banish red-toned hair on brunettes, with a video describing and demonstrating the same as above, but just an easy brunette transition from red/brassy brown to a more neutral to ash brown look (without it looking so blond). Thanks! :)
6ag color fusion (green banishes red)
Whenever I want to do something to my hair I always look to your channel first. The problem for a lot of us who try to do it ourselves is we can't get hold of these products (not in the UK anyway) so it's back to the stores as usual!
It's so frustrating! So many good tricks but you can't purchase in UK 🙄
You can buy salon grade if you go to hair n beauty wholesalers! You do not need to resort to drug store/pharmacy.
@@melriini8280 Thanks for info.
You did a really good job on that person's hair. Well done.
I love how your straight to the point and very informative, no messing around with you!:)
After watching your videos for years and reading all the comments I will be trying the redken permanent line for the first time. I love love the shades eq for toning but have never used the permanent line the double NN line or the creams . Thank you so much for Sharing your knowledge about these products. As a professional stylist it’s awesome to have you guys share with us all to help our clients look and feel their very best. Much love doll
I made my stylist watch one of your videos... You've truly saved my hair twice. Thanks :)
I wish I be in the bay area and have you really do my hair... your knowledge of hair makes me comfortable. Your sooo beautiful Silvia! Keep doing what your doing!
I gasped when I saw the first example. That has been my hair for the last 10 years. Elle - you deserve a round of applause... wow. i cannot wait to do this...
Jessica T did this work for you ?
Can you do a tutorial with the first color correction you did on this video?
I have a neutral light/medium brown natural root with medium / light blonde, balayage, to my mid back, all one length length hair. It’s just my jam- “surfer chick/ hippie/ boho vibes”. It’s low maintenance and it’s what my hair has always naturally been. Plus, I am actually a surfer and my clothing is very hippie / bohemian style. I always go back to this hair stay,e & color. It just feels like home. I’m on chemo now, (4th time in 27 yrs), and my stylist (who is also a good friend of mine for over 25 yrs), has been thru it ALL with my hair issues for 25 yrs. I won’t let anyone else touch it! I love & trust her💯. My issue is: she went out on her own from her longtime salon & opened her own salon, which RULEZ!! BUT…. We’ve always used Redken products on my hair (which is very similar to ur hair in texture, length & color). My hair just loves Redken. Problem: Since opening her own amazing salon, she switched to Paul Mitchell & recently added Amika. I ♥️ Amika home products, so I’m stoked on using Amika shampoo, conditioner & masks, at home. But, I still prefer Redken to PaulMitchell, when getting any salon work done, like color, gloss, toning, etc. My question for you is: Is it rude if I go buy all the correct Redken supplies I need at Sally’s, (let her know ahead of time), & ask her to use them for all my salon color, hair treatments, etc, that she does in her salon? She is an expert with all Redken products and has always used them on me, before choosing to go with PaulMitchell. I don’t know why?? But- my hair just doesn’t like PM. 🤷🏼♀️ TIA- if u find the time to shoot me a quick & easy reply. I definitely don’t wanna upset or offend her. She has helped me & saved my hair more times than I can count. I definitely don’t wanna lose her as my stylist OR my friend!! Let me know what u think, when u have the time. Thank you! I always use ur UA-cam tutorials, esp with color, since my hair is so similar to urs, both my natural root color and the length, texture & balayage style. Anyway, Thank you for ur amazing UA-cam videos. Take care. Hope to ttyl ✌🏼😊🩵🪬
What do you do for the base ? You mention the 6na & 8na for the base colour … my hair is bleached but has gone quite gold/orange … so would I go through and foil and use that mixture … if what do you mean by base colour ?
Literally sitting with color on my grays right now. Wish I would've seen this 10min ago! 😣we shall see
Can you do a video explaining how to bump the root without looking it brassy! What developer would you use and what color?
Could you make a video all about hair color formulation ? Love how
Informative you are!
I had hoped to hear more about the process of getting the red out of brown, like showing. I am not a fan of that as my dark hair anytime it lightens is this and I want something other than this!!!! I like how you used two colors BTW
At 4:16 bang on....all the hairdressers i have visted all these years did that to cover gray they deposited lot of color on my hair and it turned jet black..which i never wanted i wanted to go lighter and lighter so when my Gray roots come back it doesn't look that bad...i have ended up spending thousands of dollars....i don't trust any hairdresser any more i wish you have done this vedio few years back....or i have been your client.but thanks so much for making this vedio.
omg!! I want this exact color on the model you did. I wish I could fly out to San Francisco for you to do my hair!! I have changed hairdressers SO many times!!!
SAME!
I would love a video on how to get the best air dry (when you maybe don't have access to a blow dryer). I find that when I let my hair air dry, whether I braid it or leave it alone, it always feels "flat" against my scalp and gets oily much faster. Any tips to get an air dry with a bit more lift at the roots would be amazing!
Colleen Leonard this is random but what I do is if I don't sit outside in the sun to air dry, I literally sit next to a fan haha
i WISH i had white gray hair, i got several hairs, if i'm like my dad only in my 60's i'll have enough white hair to go fully blonde. i'm in the process of lighting it slowly with a chemical relaxer. so i'm doing it carefully! thanks for the info!
Thank you sooooo much for these awesome tutorials! I now feel that I can properly direct my stylist. I have always been told that I had to have dark roots to cover my grey, which I always hate. So glad to know its not true. Please do more videos on what women with a lot of grey can do without actually going grey
My hair is almost impossible to get rid of red tones and i refuse to go blonde again or balayage is there a dye that you swear by for a level 5/6 that ashes the crap out of brown hair?
silver gray mixed with a ash brown...maybe
any box dye that has ash in it
first try to rinse your hair with a very small amount of dark blue (any dark blue box dye) and 20 % vol developper and aloot of shampoo leave it in your hair for 2 minutes or less and rinse it .let your hair rest for a day and then dye it with 6.1 or 6.11 of any brand (6.11 well tone the hell out of it trust me )
check her video ua-cam.com/video/mlYvLtulKwA/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/eA6RM8NL8zQ/v-deo.html watch this
Silver semi-permanent hair dye. you will probably have to retouch it every once in a while
Could you do a video on how you use color gels to bump the base?
I will show this to my sister with a full head of gray hair. She dyes it dark brown but it looks like a wig.
The orange to blonde color correction you did looks amazing! I have a few questions if you can answer that would be great! So did you bleach the hair and then apply the redken combination? Secondly instead of the 8na+6na, can I mix equal portions of 8n, 8a ,6n, and 6a to get the same result as the 8na+6na combination? And lastly, do you recommend toning the hair afterwards or leaving this as is.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for showing us the colours options...but is missing the application of it...please .like the 7NN Only on the roots and foil in between??With the 6 and 8 on the root and foils in between after processing time would you tone the highlights???
I could watch you all day. I love listening to your voice. Keep it up, can't wait for the next video.
Thats what i want. The ash blond look. Hair has been continuously red.
Do you have a video that shows you highlighting and covering grey at the same time?
I’m curious why did you use 8 NA & 6 NA half oz of each instead of using just a 7 NA? By the way I am absolutely Loving your videos!!! You are Amazing at giving good and very helpful info!! Thx so much!
Donna from AZ🌵
I think the girl had two different colors, darker roots, and lighter layers.
Because a 6NA mixed with 8NA will turn into a 7NA
@@wanndon170 she’s not trying to sell anything bozo. She’s explaining how to do a very confusing process that obviously you are here watching the video yourself so before you start making assumptions you should use your noggin.
Hi. I have dark brown hair (4n) and merlot byalage. I know in a few weeks the brassyness will appear despite best efforts (sulfate free products). No one has any videos on toning that out to get the vibrant color back. Looking at the color wheel, I think I am supposed to go with green to neutralize the brassy color. Can you do a video on that. Everyone is doing BLONDE but us brunettes need help too!
Agreed. I think Im supposed to be using a blue toner. I'm a 2 or 3 because of ease but it's stark against my pale skin. I love the feel of black with my Bob but I wish I could ash out at a bit lighter. I've done this a million times and every time I lift a level or two, it reads orangey. If I found the right toner, I'd be thrilled. I'm just gonna go to Sally's and buy a blue toner. It's opposite on the color wheel so in theory it should work. If you have a ton of actual red and want to cancel it out, I would think green or even teal if you're also brassy.
@@alisarose1407 y’all obviously didn’t listen to a word she said in this video. Allow me to help you out. In order to correct orange hair in brunette a toner will not work. You need to get a full pigmented permanent color (6NA +6NN) or 7NN. A toner is only going to work for hair that’s about a level 8 and higher. Hope that helps.
awesome! also, what is the makeup you're wearing here! so pretty!
I've bleached twice and still can't lift the final red orange sections! I will bleach again but might give up on going back to white and put a medium blonde dye over. Thanks for your videos they help a lot. X
Same: I CANNOT get the orange out no matter how many bleach sessions I do 😩
Thankyou for your videos. Did my hair on pre highlighted hair and your tips helped.
Would you use the same formula from the first client to color correct a red violet undertone for a chocolate brunette to a more natural neutral brown?
Your hair is always beautiful and I don't know if its the lighting but your hair seems to look more ashy kind of taking out that spark in your blonde hair I usually see.
Agree. The other color makes you look happier!!!!
This is one of my fav looks on her!
Agreed color is popular but to me looks muddy and old lady gray. Sorry just my opinion..
I do respect Slyvie and enjoy her videos.
For the first example, did you use a 30 volume or 20 volume developer for her 6NA/8NA base?
Awesome video….would I only apply the combo 8na/6na to the roots or entire hair after bleaching highlights?
Thank you sweetie! What a blessing you! I am grateful for you! You take your time to help others who want to do their own hair, even though your a hairdresser! I think that's amazing! Thank you so much!!
We have Redken school in our town, the students do my hair.
so great for the $$❤🕉❤❤your videos I learn so much it helps me communicate better about what I want. Thank you for sharing
Where can we purchase redken products when we are doing this ourselves at home?
Have you noticed your (or clients) hair has thinned out over the years with a heavy highlights routine?
I would like to see a video about hair accessories. I think I severly damaged my hair for years by constantly wearing my hair in a ponytail and wearing the wrong hair accessories. I thought it was the bleach and toner causing damage, but I now I'm pretty sure it was the everyday ponytail and poor quality rubber bands. My hair is finally growing after years of uneven hair, no longer than ear length on the sides, and the back not growing past 5".
Thanks that was good explanation please explain more in Redken colour Jell it’s new to me 🙏👍
I love your videos!..but I am probably one of many who are at home hair coloring and do not have access to product beyond Sally’s. Please please give us a heads up on Sally’s brands that are somewhat comparable. We would love it!
love your hair color! can you share what formulas you used?
Using a neutral ash, will that not put warmth back in the hair because of the neutral ??
Love the lip color which seems to match eye shadow and blush. What color is that?
Excellent talk on sharing your professional knowledge. I am going thru reddish color and cannot obtain that pretty blonde highlights on my brown base color since my last color treatment. I need to find a color specialist in my area of NYC using Redken specialized products.
Thank you so much for your priceless tips.
wow , this was really a good explanation about that colors. What NA means. Thank you.
You held up the 30 volume developer. Is that the level you use with the Color Fusion or does it vary?
ELLE!! Please can you do a review type video on Garnier Olia B++ and B+++ super bleach box dyes?!
Omg. my hair was about that same color (slightly brassy/orange) I went into my hairdresser to get it to lighten and freshen up my balayage. I ended up with 3 different colors! I don't know what to do, I hate to complain. I went to the same person who has lightened my hair.
My natural hair color is a light/medium ash brown and I’ve ombré my hair and it made it really orange and red and I’ve tried everything but I’ll try this ❤️
@ellebangs, I can't find ANY videos on how to tone brassy lowlights. My blondes are fine, but the lowlights are brassy. Do you have any tips?? Thanks!
Incredibly informative, as usual! Thanks so much for a great video.
your lipstick is so pretty? please tell us what shade it is
I wish you could suggest a hair stylist in Charlotte, NC that is as passionate about hair color or a blonde specialist like you.
Love your hair colour in this! ❤️
Great advice! I love your blonde tones, what formula do you use? I normally use Redkens Shades EQ 9v with clear but I always feel like I can still see yellowy tones in my hair even after leaving it in for 20 minutes
Please please do a video on how to get a ginger red/orange color..
Hi Ellebangs, love your blog....where can i buy redken color fusion online?
Redken Cover Fusion seems to do a much better job than Redken Chromatics for some reason? I love Chromatics gentle no after fragrance formula, but it just doesn’t cover on course hair with over 50% gray.
I have balayage and toning it is so hard because some parts are platinum, some parts are yellow and some parts are slightly orange!
Me too :/
Was a toner used after this! I'm about to dye right now.
Please come and teach hairdressers in Australia
How much would you charge for highlights and regrows gray hair?
Thank you.
I have a client 100% gray on top 50% In the back she want it to be low maintenance comes in every 8 week . She is a blonde. New to redken
This gave me hope for whenever I get grey hair! I was scared I was gona have to use Black always lol
Hi Sylvia. So I have been using on my roots for at least 8 Year's now ion demi in the color lightest ash blonde 10 N A with one part clor 2 parts 10 developer. Lately when touching up my roots only leaving the color on with a shower cap and waiting about an hour. I notice brassieness. I am very confused why since I am only applying a demi. I then waited about 5 days and bought the Wella demi in the ash blonde used the recommended cream activator 1to 2 ratio again and once again brassieness. Not sure what the to do to get the color without the brassieness mext time and what do you suggest I do to fix the problem? Thanks! I have been a fan since forever now!
On the first case you mention, why not use a 7na instead of mixing the 6na and the 8na? What would be the difference?
lamicho2005 I’m thinking the same, someone please share insight
I believe there is no 7NA. Mixing equal parts of 8NA and 6NA make a 7NA.
I have been watching your videos I am about 80% grey I have had used medium brown and finally decided I want to go really light so that I can stop the coloring. I bleached my hair it did get brassy, i tried a medium ash even a light ash and had some change. Between some gold blonde still a little brass.
I just don’t want to go darker because of my grey hair.
Any suggestion, I did it myself because I have been to salons and end up in the same boat.
I guess what I am trying to do is getting as close to my grey as possible, so that it can blend with my grey and I don’t have to color my hair often as when I had my dark hair. Which I had to do my greys every 3 weeks.
Thank you
Loved all your info, so much knowledge you have.
💚💛🧡💚💛🧡
Could you please do more video for grey hair up to 30 % of greys and for person who want almost cold beige blond , not extra blind but almost cold, what Redken fusion do you suggest?
Thank you
Thankyou so much for this video!! Also, I just saw your redken ad!! Great job!!
I’ve bleached my hair and it now has both yellow tones and some orange tones in it. Will this work in my case?
I did it and my hair ended up like yours with brown patches how do you deal with that?
You are my hero 😭
No hay did you use to tone the light hair on the first model?
What would i get if i was going to Sally's?
Sia Thao. Yes please i need some like that but in sally
Wella has similar colors. But they are a bit darker
Always enjoy your videos! Do the double pigments in Color Fusion give you darker results? I have been using Schwarzkopf for many years and their double pigments deposit darker than what you would expect from the level on the tube. I am trying to get away from Schwarzkopf and would like to get as many tips on the Redken line as possible. Thank you!!
+Cristiann Milano not at all!! True color results with the staying power of an NN and the strong neutral and ash tones
Thank you!!!
What kind of Developer did you use with the Color Fusion 6-8 NA did you use a 30 or a 20 ? And what how u put in the 7nn to cover gray hair ?
Best to dye it back brown
Your hair looks like a mixture of pink purple brown grey silver and lavender...is this a camera problem or are those the colors of your hair? Im not a fashion trendy person and i dont keep up with the trends so please let me know if this is a camera issue or your intended hair color..thank you btw you are stunningly gorgeous!!
Great results! however the video doesn't talk about the specific details of why and how to use these product for amateur DYI-ers.
If your hair is Oberon and you want to go blonde what is the best colour to use ?✌🏼️🙋🏽love your vlogs you are a great hair dresser and thank you for the other vlog that should you how to trim your hair it has worked wonders for my hair xxx
Caroline Mccann Auburn*
+Caroline Mccann going from auburn to blonde you will most likely have to bleach your hair first
Yes auburn that was a mistake lolx
What type of everyday shampoo would you suggest for grey hair?
I've been letting my hair naturally go grey and I've noticed it's a different texture
This video helped me so much !!! love ya sylvia !!!
You are a doll !!! i am new to your channel so glad i found you !!!
Love your video’s! So the first cliënt got a new balayage and than got it toned again?? So What level was her hair After the balayage? Or Did you only lighten/balayage the upper part of the hair? (Sorry my englisch is Not that good). Thank you so much
I love your color in this video what numbers do you use ?
you might have to lose the background music. I can't listen to both at the same time.
I know, I know.. everbody is differnt.
I could hear her fine until I read comment lol
I cant concentrate either. I wish it was kept short and sweet and to the point. Whenever I come on UA-cam I lose track of what they are saying within a second. But her videos are somewhat better than others. But background music ugh idk why they do that.
Do you apply those two all over hair after it's been lightened?
I am a professional colorist and I struggle with the gels for vibrant red. I have a client who wants that mahogany color what do yiu mix she is a level 5-6 with on her outgrown root area ends are foiled with different levels to give movement but it always seems dull. After about 2 weeks. Thanks for any advice
Ok, stupid question since I am not a professional. Would 7NN be something like a light brown or dark blonde? I’m looking for a very cool light brown. Nothing fancy. I just used 5A and it’s a bit too dark. It looks more like a medium brown. Like the coverage. Not redken brand though.
Thanks for your videos
madelainem2 what brand do you use? I'm not a professional but I have experience doing my own hair, I use 7A to blend my light brown/dark blonde roots so I'd say a level 6 is a light to medium brown, but keep in mind every brand's level and toning system is slightly different
So did u mix both colors of 8na, 6na and the 10 develop all together n one bowl? Or separate the colors?
how do you tone to get the colour you have here on you? and how could we do it at home
🧐
Can you tone with the color gel lacquers from redken? And if you can.. can I do it on wet hair with 10 vol??
