@@Girlybossselfimprovement Fr. Way too much
Yea!!! I’m so happy to have access to an actual professional who specializes in color (colorist). Because when visiting any professional , the consult is not explicitly mentioned when talking price, but just added to the overall cost. Also, from personal experience, after 30+ hrs of having my hair colored ( and occasionally my attempt at just getting rid of grays), I would rather pay for the more experienced hairdresser/colorist. Especially if your desired end result includes several issues (ie cover Gray, blending with highlights/lowlights, having the base color at the end of my hair, match the newly colored roots. I’m a nurse, and I wouldn’t go to the Surgeon who’s the cheapest around…. If you can’t afford it, I get it. There were MANY years I was a DIYer due to a limited budget. Anyway… I digress….. @ellebangs I can’t wait to have a consultation with you!!!
Great informative video!! I was about to colour my hair in a salon that told me they can change my colour to ash blonde in one session!!! Thanks to you I didn't ruin my hair!
@@Girlybossselfimprovement 😂
As a previous Sally employee and licensed stylist, I appreciate that you are making home hair color something that is more accessible and providing information people need to make informed decisions about diy color!
So good! I learned so much and if someone just explained like you did, I would have have never started chasing something I couldn’t have.
Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge with us! I’ve torn apart the internet looking for advice on how to color my hair properly and your channel is quite honestly the only place where I felt like I learned an abundance of knowledge on the complexity of hair. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to genuinely educate your audience on hair care and just know that you are an amazing teacher! ❤️ If you ever decide to open up any masterclasses or courses please let me know so I can sign up ASAP!
I now understand the process of lightening. I am not licensed, but I have been doing my own hair for years. I learned how to highlight and ombre. I understood the level my hair needed to be to get certain colors to show more, but my hair is so naturally dark, I never knew or understood how to get to a level 9 or 10 without damaging my hair with lightener. For this reason, I've been too afraid to try my entire head of hair. Ty. This video is permanently saved to my playlist for reference.
Yessss 👏 thank you, I’m going thru this right now with my bayalage. I’m a level 2 trying to get to a level 8! I’m on my second bayalage due next week and my stylist was trying to explain to me my hair will only lift so much and more red will come out. So it’s a slow process but she cares about the integrity of my hair and will not over process. I understand it better now from how u explained it & your handy dandy charts! Thanks soo much 😃
Thank you! I wish my hairdresser explained this to me when I was making my hair color blind decisions! So simple and clear!
THE most intelligent, informative video on hair color on the net! Thank you gorgeous!
Thank you so much- you always explain things so clearly. 🌸💜✨ I think it’s important for us to understand what the process actually entails because sometimes your ‘dream’ hair is much closer to your natural colour when you realise how many changes and how much commitment and cost it involves. I’m so thankful for my natural brown hair colour now 💜✨💖
From a former retired hairdresser you do a great job with all your videos. You information is accurate and truthful. Great job
Great information!! Thank you, Sylvia!! We appreciate it!! 😊
I knew a little of this but did find it very helpful - thanks so much!
You are really good explining !Thanks for being also honest!❤️
I have been watching your videos for years.. they are so helpful! I love watching them and following you on insta as well; you and Adam are so fabulous!
I’m watching you from Uk for such a long time love your videos and learn a lot from you thank you 🙏🏼💖
This is very clear & easy to understand. I've done hair for decades so I know what works or doesn't yet I couldn't explain it to make sense. Especially the point about lightening from level 4 to 8 when the underlying warm orange to yellow tones become dominant. Why you need to go lighter to deposit a cool tone to achieve a desired color but risk damage to the hair. Thank you for sharing!
I just learned so much, and I've watched the other videos from you, thank you so much for creating this channel!!
You are a beautiful person! Thank you for sharing all of your experience and knowledge to help us!
I love your videos! Thank you for producing valuable content
YES 👏🏾!! I'm glad you explain WHY a certain hair choice might not be advantageous 4 a person depending on different factors as opposed 2 telling them it isn't possible cuz most times (from my experience) when a hair dresser has told me or some1 else that something isn't achievable on their hair, that's code for: "I don't PERSONALLY know as a stylist how to give you what you want" or "I'm not confident enough in my skills to pull off your desired results." OR "I'm just too lazy 🤷🏾♀️💅🏿 & have other things I'd rather do," which has happened to me as I've seen a stylist do on someone else's hair the very same thing they claim they can't do on mine & I know my hair is just as, if not HEALTHIER than the other person's hair cuz I was in ear/👀shot of the consultation they gave the other person. Very few things are not achievable on a person's hair save the exception that the integrity/health of their hair is too compromised at the time. But explaining to them that it is possible, BUT it just may require MORE visits & 💵 doesn't leave your client feeling unimpowered & hopeless. I prefer knowing the cold-hard facts so I know how to proceed --- IF I want to --- to be the better choice. Thank you for that 😌🙏🏾.
Thank you for the clear concise explanation. I have been struggling with understanding the color system and this helped me more than anything else I have found!
You are a Kind human and an honest profesional you can say It when we hear you girl.
Totally learned so much about hair colour .Loved it .
I had no idea that permanent dye wasn’t adding colour you buy but the tone you need to get to the colour. Thanks so much for explaining !!! All makes sense now 💕
There is a level(“brown”) in the tube, as well as tone to achieve whatever goal you’re trying to achieve.
I love this comment because when editing I kept wondering if I had made that clear or whether a non hairdresser would even care about this fact. Even though I think its pretty important! Thanks for watching!
@@Ellebangs @ellebangs did your Friend's Mom love the haircolor in your hair
@@Ellebangs @ellebangs did she?????????????????
@@colinpostell6347 chill out. A little obsessed.
thank you for finally explaining it in most simple fashion
Hi, I'm so glad I found your channel! I've had my hair colored for many years, both by professional stylists and me. I used to work as a receptionist at a salon; I learned more than I used to (which was nothing!) after working there several years. Anyway, I'm still really interested in learning about color and I am looking forward to learning from you!❤
You are awesome!! So happy I came across your channel! ❤
Life changing video!!! Thanks so much❤️
This was everything I needed! Thank you!
You are the best explanation as a Professional hair colorist,l understand very well now ,thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the video!!! Soooo educational!!!!
Best explanation i have heard. Thank you
Good morning Sylvia! Thank you for your highly informative videos. We love you
Thank you Jodi!
Great video, thank you for this. Can you do a video about grey hair? Talk about how best to cover them but also what options you have if you want to work with them or if you want to go grey gracefully. Thanks 😊
what if my grey colored brunette color comes brassy or yellowish what to do i use 5n
This! I’m exploring Demi to turn the scattered grey into blonde highlights, but I also heard lowlights with grey adds more dimension to make it less flat.
Yes!! I have natural dark brown hair and starting to go Grey has been very annoying as I feel the Grey's stand out so much against my darker hair. So I bleached it blonde and don't really like it as much but it has helped hide the Grey's. I want to go back brown but don't want to have to deal with them showing like they used to or doing my roots every few weeks
You have thaught me how to talk to my hair dresser.
Ty so much!
Thank you!!! I wish I had known this 3 yrs ago when I tried to go platinum in an attempt to not have to dye my white and grey 45 yr old hair anymore. I would have avoided the damage that was done.
Your sound quality is just fine 😊
Very helpful, as always, thanks so much! 💛
My natural hair is a level 3 and through your videos i was able to get to a level 9/10 🥳 I’ve always wondered why when my roots grow out why they lift so perfectly now. Like they don’t go through that crazy orange/yellow phase anymore. Why is that? Does it just depend on the quality of the bleach? I’ve found the Schwarzkopf blonde me is absolutely amazing! It keeps the hair integrity and I only have to use the 20 developer 🙌 thanks for you great content in each and every video 💛
if you are only lightening the roots, it pretty easy to get really good lift and pass the warm stage. 1. Because its virgin hair 2. because hair near the scalps lightens much faster than the rest due to scalp heat.
Schwartz blonde bleach to lift? What actually do you use ?
@@autumnlong3386 I use the Schwarzkopf blonde me bleach with the matching 20 vol developer.
Thank you very much I have learned from your video today. As well explained things
I know my hairdresser for 8 years. Your vids help me to understand how it works so I don't want him to make my hair platinum blonde in one go anymore 🤣 and it's waaaay easier to explain him what I want + it's way easier for him to tell me f.e. what I can do to maintain my hair or how to prepare it before next appointment. Thanks! 💙
This comment makes my heart sing!! You get it. My videos aren't to eliminate the need for hairdressers, its for making everyone passionate and knowledgeable about hair!
As I have gotten older I am less interested in being super blonde.Allthough as I have gone through doing that in the past few years your videos saved my butt many times. My hair is now past my shoulders and it would not be long and healthy had it not been for your video on hair oils. Thanks a million
Thank you! I learned so much!
I just went to cosmetology school without leaving my home... great video all around! Very informative, well spoken, and great quality. Thank you!
Haha, yes I just mentioned earlier we spend a good 8 weeks learning this in cosmetology school. My goal was to condense this info in under 10 minutes. Glad it was understandable :)
How did you do that? I’m getting ready to start this fall. Thx
wonderful information, very clear. I have that brown warm natural hair that I got really blond. it takes a lot. and roots are growing so fast. you actually kind of marry your hairdresser 😀
I have natural light strawberry blonde hair, my hair texture is loose 3a curls. And I want to maintain the red color when it gets full and during the summer when the red fades from the sun.
You're the best hair expert professional in the UA-cam I have been watching you for long years! I wish if you could ever do my hair 💔😩
Although this video was uploaded 3yrs ago, I wanted to thank you for the breakdown of hair color.
It was really helpful. Thanks a lot🙏
This was so informative thank you just didn’t hear once the hair has the orange/red tones what’s the next step... just repeat with the lightener....
This is great! Many many thanks! Stay healthy and safe!
Thank you for watching!! Stay Safe!!
wow! thank you! this helped me so much! have virgin hair and so nervous to get it done!
Thank you so much I learned allot from this!!!
Thank you! extremely helpful.
I love your videos and how you manage to keep them short but still put so much information in there!
Something I still don't understand though, is toner used after using bleach/permanent hair color to fix the color result or can it also be used as a single product - if so, in which occasion?
Helpful vid, Elle! I love ur idea of the colorist explaining WHY “no” / what it would entail to change colors that us lay people who don’t fully understand color theory, etc. (vs. my last one who was like “eh… no. I don’t think that’ll work.” Upscale place too! Or was… Anyway!) I’m a 7.5, 1a with healthy waist length and FINALLY getting highlights! The consultation went AMAZING because you helped me with what to ask! Thanks ❤ 👩🏻🦰-👱🏻♀️! 🎉
Thanks God I found you!! I was about to bleach my very damage hair to go from red-copper to ash blonde:)
Really useful and clear. Thank you. : )
Ty so much you really helped me to understand ❤
Good info. Thank you. 👍❤️
Finally I got it !! thank you
Wow I learn 1 is the black 10 blondest ok got that😆 I didn’t know that now I understand when they say the numbers on salon Tks!’
Thanks I do get red undertones not I understand now, talk to my hairdresser about this before he highlight.
I love the different tones in your own hair color. Would you be willing to explain how you've achieved that?
What a sweet kind classy lady🌹 have been watching you for some time now love all your content !
Im a visual person, trying to explain something without using my hands would be like asking me to explain something complex in a language I don't speak. I appreciate the feedback and apologize in advance for future jazz hands
@@Ellebangs I'm not sure what your talking about I love your content and think your a beautiful lady and very classy have always loved your style
@@Ellebangs I think your speaking to the very last comment on this page kinda hurt my feelings but it's okay hope you get this message 😔
Beautiful video. I always wanted to know why do my hair look orangeish after being bleached. I must be using a proper toner to tone down the unwanted colours
PLEASE DO A VIDEO for hair color for people with sensitive skin - I am allergic to PPD but I still use box color to color my hair and I have to endure the rash for a bit after the process, but what's a girl to do ........... any suggestions, your videos are great and you are so so knowledgeable, I am so glad I found your channel
Well explained!
This was so informative!!! Thanks u rock
😘
Thanks for this succinct explanation!
thanks for watching!
Would love a video on how you achieved your new hair color!!!!😊
Sylvia, I hope I spelled your name correctly. 🙃 I have seen several videos regarding hair coloring/bleaching and with that said, I believe you brought forth a much better understanding of these processes. Thank you so much! btw.....Happy New Year! 😃
Didn’t know about warm tones only starting at level 4 I thought was warmth low that too!!
I LOVE THAT JACKET!
Great video,ty!!!
You are so great thank you😊
Hei. You have a beautiful highlights! Can you make a video about how are you done this?
Thank you!!
Thanks!
Very informative! Ps love your makeup! What blush are you wearing?
Can you make a video explaining toners and blonde hair Just like you said for us that have a level almost 6 7 8 for that Unwanted warm what toners will be the right one
I found my dream colour, pale ash blonde, I am just starting Joico brand product now
Very helpful explanation, thank you. I have a question: I am brunette and used the wrong hue of permanent root colour. My hair absorbed a dark rbown colour too well and I have blackish patches near my crown. I have long hair, too. For a situation like this, should I use color oops or some other colour to at least get the 'black' patches closer to a chocolate brown hue? I sinced used a mahogany brown a couple of times but I still have those blackish patches in my hair. Thank you, again
Thanks for the video. I wish you had given suggestions of product. I don't know if the products I've been using are the best.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
you are fantastic ! thank you
I don't do anything to my natural dark blonde hair, but still I watched this to the end. maybe I am looking for an inspiration :)
aw this comment made my day lovely! thanks for watching!
Can you please put out a video about natural and subtle highlights for dark brown curly hair? I want to get highlights, but want to know the pros and cons.
Thank you Miss Sylvia. You taught me about hair color, lady. I come from a redheaded/green-eyed family and am naturally sort of a sandy-strawberry type thing. I wanted "normal" blonde because we all want what we don't have. So, I tried coloring the red out my hair for 34 years, and I know now that didn't know a thing about what I was doing. Not until last year when I came across one of your videos. I've done all of these, bleach, semi/demi, perm, fashion and even sadly and by mistake, a bright blue permanant. I've gone through many recovery efforts too, and all of this pretty continuously, since covid started. I lost someone very important very early, April 2020. Like everyone else I had a LOT of free time on my hands to freak out. I have only been to a hairdresser once during quarantine. I've been bottle-boxing myself for 35 years. Sounds more fun than it is kids, lol. I keep it pretty long and I'm not a big blower. Again, kids... I watch and listen to you now and my hair has survived all of my self-inflicted abuse very nicely. I even cut it last week, like...alot. And it's not bad. And I swear that I will never go back to box color again! I feel like Scarlett O'hara lol. Nope, well never say never but nope I mix my own color now, Wella mostly, and just did a reverse balayage, dark over light. It was too light, almost white and unnatural with my freckles I thought. So, I used a sponge for the first time, just because it came in a $10 amazon kit and it worked awesome for the couple of swipes I did, did an 8g/n sand/gold mix on level 9, close to 10, platinum/ashy hair. So, it looks really good and I didn't even know what balayage was last year or even heard the word. Am I even spelling it right? I literally youtubed "key leating" a few months ago lol. Now I have Dawn in my shower. Anyway, thanks again you are lovely, smart and you have a beautiful way of teaching. Peace everybody, stay safe.
Key leating?????
Oh wow! Thank you! I wish I’d watched this a few weeks ago… think maybe I’m naturally around level 5-6 & just had highlights I wanted to “get rid of” & go with something close to my natural color…ended up with something VERY different. 3 “fix it” sessions later, I have very warm blonde level 8 hair. 😞 Hair is so dry & I hate how it looks. Help!
Great movie! Thx
I learned something new 💕! 😊
I really like what you said about explaining to your clients WHY they can't get a certain hair colour. When I was younger I used to dye my hair jet black with box dye ALL the time. When I wanted to go back to my natural colour (level 5 neutral) I went to a salon and I told the hair dresser I wanted an ashy level 6 and she said okay. She stripped my hair and deposited colour but it came out like a level 4 warm (not surprising) and I was SO crushed and disappointed I cried for days. This became a trend from the ages of 16 to 21 until I finally realized and learned how colour worked. She should have explained to me in the beginning how it would realistically turn out.
Ellebangs great explanation here, I wonder if You could tell me the difference between white bleach that my hairdresser uses and the purpley one I bought and threw out becausr I was too nervous to use it..my hair is between 9- 10 i.just need to lighten a little and cover a few grey hairs do.you think id be better trying a semi permanent colour, im wondering after listening to your explanation.As you have probably guessed I have never coloured my own hair before..Thankyou..!
Your jacket is so cute S!!
Thanks Love. Give me all the neutrals!
Awesome 👍thank you
I love this chick. She is just so sweet and gorgeous!
I wish I had found you before I went to a new hairdresser yesterday :( please share more #brownhair tips! xx
Sylvia - please tell me why I should use esalon? I've been afraid. But I trust your judgement.
This was great! Thank you! Are Demi and semi permanent the same thing?
Nice video. What if I have ash mousy medium brown hair with some gray but would like to keep this color maybe go a little lighter?
