I'm 53 and have not seen my natural color since I was a teen. I am fed up with dying or bleaching my hair and am claiming my inner crone. I'm WAY more white than I thought and looking for ways to more gently grow it out without a major line of demarcation. Thank you for this video.
Great video! I just used the pastel Silver Overtone last night to soften my grow out line. I am 3 months dye free and this really cooled down the dyed hair and the line between is softer. I didn't put it on my gray... just on the brown I am growing out. LOVE it.
Maybe a cool brown/grey it will cover any brunette shades but not necessarily Pastel because brown is far from Pastel but if the dyed hair has a similar grey tone as the roots it WILL look better. If you plan on seeing a stylist do not do overtone it won't lift out
My hair has grown out now after just 4 months without dyeing. I kept going a shade lighter in blonde until i reached a very similer colour to my roots. Now after 4 months, I'm snow white, beautiful pale silver
Boy, your fearless dear. ! Since I went grey at 58, I too have been playing the “what is my hair color today?” Game. My hair goes whiter at the roots then goes to grey at the ends. So right now I’m just coloring my roots a platinum blonde. Then I keep it a grey tint with my purple shampoo 1x a week. Works well. So I now will do the same with my extensions.
At some point I'm sure I'll be ordering some of this. I am growing out and seem to be pretty white in the crown and this would be a great product to give depth! Thank you so much for this video! You were my first gray transition person to watch and you gave me great inspiration. I just turned 55 and started turning gray at 16. So happy to not color anymore!!!
Monique, my silver sister, you should design extensions, falls and wigs in salt and pepper and silver, it's a market that is grossly neglected. I'd be first in line.
I made the decision to go natural last week after a talk with my stylist, I wear my hair short so don't have much of my light blond color left. Been coloring my hair for a long time, but with everything shut down due to the virus I think there is no better time to switch. 10 days until my appointment and I can hardly wait after nearly 3 months without a cut and salon care.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm transitioning to gray and had my hair lightened. Toning out the bleached hair every couple of weeks but I'm never quite happy with the results. I still have at least a year to go and this product looks like it will make the process a little easier to look at every day!
Love it. The wig looks more like my color in the winter versus bright white in the summer. One of the reasons I stopped dying my hair was to get away from chemicals on my head. Happy to have you stand in as our test dummy!
Thank you for doing this video. I saw the Overtone conditioner for the first time on my Facebook feed just yesterday. I decided back in May that I was not going to fight my grey any longer, but embrace it. Most of my hair is that weird yellow, white and salt + pepper combination right now. After watching your video, I think I will give this stuff a try.
I bought the VPFashion ponytail extension in the lightest color available and used purple shampoo (which was by Fanola - no yellow) it turned the most beautiful shade of light silver and matched my lightest part of my now natural grey/silver hair. Ive been in transition for 8 months and still have the bleached ends of about 2 inches before Im all natural. The very front of my natural hair is almost a white silver, which darkens as you go back and down on my head. Very happy.
good thing you mentioned about the heat tools. One of the other youtubers I watch had transitioned her hair to grey and she was using a purple shampoo and conditioner on her hair. she got a new flat iron and it was too hot and her hair turned a burgandy color. she couldn't fix it so she dyed her whole head brown. Anyway I think the wig turned out great
I have used a flat iron many times while I kept my hair colored...now that I have silver hair, I haven't straightened my hair since I stopped dyeing my hair...a few months back I thought I'd try it...to see what my silver curls would look like smoothed out. I used heat protectant...a good quality flat iron...and low heat...OMG😲 it literally scorched my hair and left a dingy yellowish cast. The smoothness looked great...color was horrid! 😮 *lesson learned 😒
I saw that UA-cam and it wasn’t just from the overtly high temp on her flat iron, she used peroxide, baking sode as well as a multitude of steps that lead her to a chemical cocktail or residual metals in her hair that the overtly hot hot iron brought to a head (pun intended) and the heat was a catalyst to give her that wacky heat reaction. Don’t blame the hot iron. Blame the alleged hairstylist who wouldn’t go get color corrected yet she put some of the worst chemical combos on her head, ones that NO alleged stylist would EVER do, under the guise of “I don’t want to color correct it because they’ll use bleach”. Maybe in 1972. So....facts people. Facts.
Tovah saw it. I’m pretty sure she just wanted to go back to dying which I really don’t care, but viewers are not dumb, she should have just been honest about it. After the first pass of the flat iron she should have stopped, yet she kept going for effect. Whatever. Part of going grey is being honest about our natural selves. She doesn’t do it for me so I unsubscribed. No biggie.
This was the information I was looking for. I love how you did the 3 colors. Maybe I can try this since I am transitioning to gray. Looking forward to seeing your new style using your topper. 👍🏻🤗💕
My hair is about 50%grey and I am researching on transitioning to grey gracefully. This video has given me enormous information on the different shades of overtoner. The colours on the wig is amazing. You have beautiful hair Wow! Thank you for uploading. ❤
Great job on coloring the wig. My natural color is light brown and I became a “Silver Sister” almost three years ago. I used a purple shampoo from Sally’s Beauty. I noticed my hair gets the yellow tint when using a flat iron or curling iron. I always use heat protection products. The wig would look gorgeous styled with loose beach waves. I am so happy for you and always love your videos. Many blessings to you!
Beautybylisa actually used overtone on her natural grey and then used a flat iron and it turned her hair pink and she couldn’t get it out, eventually she had to colour her hair dark after 15 months of going grey so just be careful I’d hate to see that happen to anyone else! It could have been the flat iron but it was new, the colour had some purple/different under tones in it so who knows, Love ya 💟 (edit I didn’t finish the video when I commented, I just saw you mentioned it sorry, glad you are aware though!Xo)
Somebody commented that that woman was using a purple-depositing shampoo and conditioner, and that explains it. The flat iron burned the purple right into her hair.
That was NOT from the oVertone... as this product is just a conditioner, and will fade out in the next wash or two... I don't understand how someone gets pink hair from silver conditioner... but I don't know this person.
@@amandab116 I don't know what brand of product that woman was using, but a lot of commercial products that deposit color will say right on the label that they'll dye your sink, bathtub, and countertops, so you have to wipe it off right away. I've used Frieda's Blonder shampoo, which deposits yellow, and the label makes it clear that it has dye in it that stains bathroom surfaces. I can't help but think that a product that will dye your bathtub can also dye your hair if it's a porous texture. Her flat iron just sealed the color into the cuticle of her hair.
Thank you Amber, I was just about to ask if this is the product Lisa used on her now ex-grey hair that turned pink. I believe her badluck is a combination of the Overtone product mixed with a flat iron that was too hot, and it literally cooked the Overtone color into her hair. I'm still so upset for her! Overtone is probably good if you stay away from heating irons and curlers.
thanks Monique super informative for me as I am grey. I bought the pastel. as I'm writing this I haven't taken the towel off my head but I think it turned my hair grey....but I'm excited for the change....I really don't like being neon white all the time! and goodbye yellow is what I'm hoping.......
I love the colours layered the way you did. Looks great! Someone commented that it's a non-permanent conditioner colour. Am interested to apply this to my natural gray hair still growing out, with yellowy ends Thanks for the reminder about heat protection products. :)
Hi Monique, I think you did a fantastic job on colouring the wig. Just a thought, if you are able to colour it again I'd just do the pastel colour only and leave it for another 20 mins. Because you started with the darkest colour first the underneath layer had a lot longer processing time than the top layer. I don't know what effect dyeing again will have on the wig as don't know if the dye is permanent, perhaps the wig makers could advise.
Thank you Monique! As exhausting as that might have been, it was really interesting! And, I ordered sample sizes of Overtone to see how the silver will work on my short salt & pepper hair. You do inspire!
Really liked your headband. Please, let me know where you got it and how it stayed on. Most of mine slide off the backside of my head. I sent my mother a picture of myself at my son's wedding in October 2017. She stated that I had not even gone grey, but strongly white. Thank you for staying true to the process. It is very liberating. I eventually sent my mother a second picture of my white hair intermixed with my dark grey hair in the back while my son and I were dancing at his wedding. I will be 56 in mid March.
Thank you for this video beautiful Monique ! I ordered my extreme silver overtone for my natural silver hair 🖤I have watch this video so many time and I was so confused before but now I am so sure what I want ....because of you ,your amazing videos , I just love you x
Hello Monique! I really enjoyed watching this video ... I know much more after the video than I knew before. Coloring hair is an anomaly to me so I found this fascinating. I was waiting, ever so patiently, for you to model it. Alas, I will be looking forward to seeing it on you in future videos! Thanks for teaching me something new.🌿
I used Overtone silver a few years back on my bleached hair when I was transitioning to gray. Back then I think they only had one shade of silver. The overtone tended to pull blue on my hair so I had to be careful not to leave it on too long. I no longer use it once I finished my transition.
Hi Monique. I really enjoyed this video. I think the wig looks really pretty. I think you are seeing a little yellow tone thru the top layer is because you are using a tinted conditioner after all not a hair dye. You got very good results.
I use oVertone Extreme Red Treatment on my already red colored hair to intensify the color between applications. The difference between the three types (pastel, vibrant, extreme) is the amount of pigment in the product. Extreme has the most pigment and pastel has the least, that would explain the difference in "purple" casting you're seeing at the bottom vs. the top :)
Hello Monique Your hair is GORGEOUS! I keep dying my hair Dark Brown to cover my Gray. The Salon I go to says that I am about 60% gray in the front with hardly any in the back. I have to go at least every 4 weeks to cover my Stripes. I I notice that your hair seems to have some darks at the hair line. Do you dye your hair at all? I have been wanting to dye my hair the color of yours for so long. But as I can not afford plastic surgery, and my face is “ lowering”, I don’t want to look OLD. You do not have ANY signs of aging at all. What do you suggest I try? Thank you
omg I love this product. for those who need to transition, wish I had this when I grew mine out, I don't believe there is anything quite like this on the market....
Hi mmommo, I'd like to know if this will work on my permanent colored ends. I'm growing my hair out. The front of my hair is pretty white/gray but the back will be mousy brown. The majority of my hair is still blonde. I'm afraid of putting something over it??
Interesting! I think your hair is a perfect colour! The wig looks a bit dark and flat. Your hair is light and healthy and a great combination of colour. I was scared in the beginning how that yellow blonde wig would look but pleasantly surprised how easy you made it look at the end . X
Have you tried Keracolor & Clenditioner? It comes in Silver and Platinum, it’s for people who dye their hair gray to keep the color vibrant when the dye starts to fade. It’s temporary and eventually washes out. It also comes in other colors, Rose gold, pink, purple......
Purple extensions!!! Purple purple purple! You looked so nice in the lavender wig & dress & makeup video yiuvdid a while back. That would be sooo amazing! I can live vicariously through you! I want to die my hair purple but I don’t know what it would lol like and I’m not nearly as adventurous as you are Monique! Whatever happened to SparkLily? Did I miss it? Still on hold? Such a good idea!
That's the wig you paid big bucks for, isn't it that looked so bombshell when you showed it us a few weeks ago. You have decided to go your grey with it. You are now doing videos at the new place and the curtains are looking just right. We all got used to seeing that vintage closet on the corner. Did you bring it to the new place for old times sake? Yes , having that nice polished table to do your demos is good. You need one of those beauty mirrors with light bulbs would be fab to show us your make up applications. It's all upgrade, Monique, from the last apartment and a new era x
Found your video to be interesting. Your own natural color is much more gray/silver than the lightest tone offered you. You have a lovely gray/silver w sparkly look. Probably should use the lightest Overtone and def use in your under hair. Thank you for this lovely video.
I have silver white hair, which can be a bit boring, for me anyway. I use all different kinds of products to give it some dimension, including toners. A few too that you have tried, recommended 😉
Absolutely perfect i just left their website cause i couldnt decide on a silver and here's a video of all three! Firstly thank you, and second its not boring at all were chuckling our asses off watching you struggle with the mannequin because it wasnt tightened stiff enough
I used that on my silver, but I thought it made it too silvery and I'm going for a white look. I discovered keracolor clenditioner in platinum that really does the job and makes your hair soft too! Maybe you should try that out in a video. 😁
Looks Beautiful Monique! You got the color very close to the color of your own hair Awesome! I kept waiting for you to try it on! lol But I will look forward to seeing it on you in future videos. You make turning grey very appealing :) Thank you for sharing it with us, your videos are always teaching me something. ;)
Hi Monique. A new theme has emerged in my dream life. I dye my hair and it looks amazing, yet I feel a sinking feeling. Its, ohhhh nooooo what have I done, how long will it take to get this out ? Haha, I guess my silver hair is here to stay. Its very pretty and soft.
I'm learning our "gray" is really white hair as yours. Platinum more than gray. That shade for sure is dark. Mine turned that color when I bleached and dyed but realized to grow out my hair it needs to be lighter because my "gray" is white.
Wow you are brave. You did a fantastic job. You are very good with styling your hair with wigs. I have never used one. But enjoy watching your video's with the wigs. You get some fun looks.
Thank you Monique for your video . I gave up on dying my hair that was naturally black and now I am going all grey . But I been going to the salon for toner and toner doesn’t seem to quite stay longer .My question is how long this color will last ,how many weeks . And how often I need to use it ?Please reply . Thanks again.And what should I do to maintain it?
I have a question. First time to hear about overtone conditioner. If I use it on my hair. Will it stay permanently? If not, while it goes away with washes will my hair become gradually the way it was before? This material damages hair? And what if someone decides to use it always what are the intervals between applications? Once a week? Month?
Good work! It's hard to tell from the video but I think you're correct, it does have more of a hold hue. Your hair is more silvery, brighter? I'm wondering how does one go about changing or modifying the color in the wig? Is it possible? Have fun with it!
My grey hair is much lighter than Monique's, almost pure white. However it turned into a yucky dingy yellow-brown after a keratin hair treatment as it used a very high temperature straightening iron. No amount of purple shampoo could turned it back to its former icy silver-white color !!! Luckily my friend taught me this method and I was able to get my hair back to its' original color : 1. Washed it with a clarifying shampoo ( Neutrogena ). Dried it. 2. Mixed white conditioner ( Shiseido ) with a 10Vol Creme Developer ( Shiseido ) . Applied it on dry hair for 30 mins. Rinsed and dried it. 3. Applied BLUE shampoo( not purple shampoo ) such as Fanola No Orange shampoo. Leave it for a few hours. Rinsed it. 4. Repeat it again next week.
Overtone only deposits color , it does not lighten ... if you go to their website they have examples of what each color does on various colors of hair ( lighter/white /platinum up to brown ) and they have various colors ,fantasy and natural colors , it is basically a conditioner . for me the only draw back is the price . I havent yet tried the gray line but now i know what color to get a trial size of . Thank you for another great video !
I wonder if a tiny bit of Overtone purple would take the yellow cast out of the top section? I use Overtone and enjoy it a lot. And you’d look amazing with a bit of hot pink peeking out of your hair. You can also get snap in one inch sections in pink just to play with it. 💕
Very interesting. I have bleached long blonde hair and decided to go gray. It’s been almost a year and I have a bout 6 inches of growth. My salon said there isn’t a product that would transition me to gray. Now i see this product. Does it work on bleach blonde hair? Well you said the wig was bleached blonde so I guess so. I have never colored my own hair. Is the process pretty simple? It appears to be. Sort of scared. I do use a blow dryer a few days a week. Is that ok?
I really like the idea of this product! I want to keep all the variations of tones I currently have in my salt and pepper hair, but play with color. I actually did an aubergine shadow root with a smoky lilac over the rest. I actually want a smoky lilac over my natural silver and this may work better than the Ion color to do the shadow root effect. Look forward to seeing this wig on you!
Hi Monique, I used overtone pale silver on my light blonde hair and it turned beautiful lighy silver but after couple washes my yellow hair comes out and Overtone washes out. For awhile I was really happy.
Thank you I will try Fanola Shampoo, I bought Schwarzkopf IGORA Absolute Silver White Brightening Spray, I saw you used it on one of your videos, I didn’t use it yet but I will very soon. Thank you for recommending these products to me. I need all the help and support from you.
Hi Monique- question for you here! I know you have been many colours over the years, but I was wondering what your go to dyes were for when you were a redhead? Thanks!
Your natural hair is far more vibrant & beautiful than the wig color... I’ve had some issues with yellowing in my grey/platinum locks, but I don’t want my hair to be any darker. I’ll guess I’ll let nature take its natural course. Enjoyed your video.
Yout hair is gorgeous. Natural gray is the prettiest and I don't think there is anyway to get it exact. I am 50/50 right now. 50 silver and 50 very dark brown. I just do light auburn. Hopefully in the next few years I can just go silver.
You did a great job Monique. Loved the pastel. My question, what thermal protection would you recommend I've tried a few and they're quite sticky. I'm naturally silver
Your silver hair is gorgeous..I’m 52 and transitioning my dyed hair to silver …is yours highlighted or toned? The dimension is so pretty, hoping mine eventually looks like that ❤️
It came out really nice! I’ve got some beautiful really good quality golden blonde (might have to bleach first, think they’re a medium golden blonde) extensions from many years back when I was still dying my hair. I had the very same idea of trying to dye them, some in some wild colours (I’m really itching for colour, but can’t decide extensions would be the perfect answer - could use some volume as well), the rest silver. The pastel silver looks like it might be best for trying to match my hair, as like you mine is very silvery/ white. I did have a look on their website - no white, just various shades of silver you used. If you do this please show! Fab video, thanks for introducing me to a new silver hair product! Jet🧡🎸🎶⚡️🦇🦋
Yet again Monique is looking Amazzzzzing!!! I have alway since I started dying my hair & working in salons been lightest ash blonde but Im going 4 the silver steel. Schwartz colours. Ive bought 2 & ive bleached my roots but im woried & think I shoulda bought silver or blue shampoo. Mixed it up in a bowl & added it as u would do a colour, leave it in 4 15-20mins 2 cancel out any unwated yellow or orange tones. Infact. Ive got my lunch break soon so im off 2 buy some shampoo. Ill know 2night how it all goes. 🤞
Monica, probably one of your best videos to date. Great production, editing, and content. I learned a ton. Maybe consider getting a Rode microphone to cut out the echo.
Thanks for this. I was debating the 3 types of silvers for my highlighted ends to match my fishing twine, gray roots and I think vibrant is a good medium for me. Your test was perfect.
I'm 53 and have not seen my natural color since I was a teen. I am fed up with dying or bleaching my hair and am claiming my inner crone. I'm WAY more white than I thought and looking for ways to more gently grow it out without a major line of demarcation. Thank you for this video.
Me too😊
I'm totally white. I'm looking for same thing.

Deborah Burrell-Horn so would I. Especially if synthetics are included.
50 shades of Grey :P
@@longstonecrafts2968 Damn you beat me to it!!!!! 😋🤣😂 (she may not be allowed to use exact wording...so 40 or 49 would work!🤣😂🤣😂)
Ditto!!!💖💖💖
The wig is attractive but your natural hair is so much more attractive and beautiful.
nancy bain I agree! I was marveled as I was watching this video, at how pretty your silver hair is!! It’s really beautiful!

Vicki K C well, how do you give silver hair a nice straighting
I saw that UA-cam and it wasn’t just from the overtly high temp on her flat iron, she used peroxide, baking sode as well as a multitude of steps that lead her to a chemical cocktail or residual metals in her hair that the overtly hot hot iron brought to a head (pun intended) and the heat was a catalyst to give her that wacky heat reaction.

Thanks Monique! Just ordered this in pastel grey. Finally growing out my roots for good!

I agree, a new career in wigs could be emerging. You have the client base well and truly established.

Thank you Monique! As exhausting as that might have been, it was really interesting! And, I ordered sample sizes of Overtone to see how the silver will work on my short salt & pepper hair. You do inspire!
Would like to know how yours turns out...
Does this do anything on grey hair because she is using it on dyed blonde hair which takes different than natural grey.
My daughter has used OverTone for years.......it fades very nicely .
Really liked your headband. Please, let me know where you got it and how it stayed on. Most of mine slide off the backside of my head.
I sent my mother a picture of myself at my son's wedding in October 2017. She stated that I had not even gone grey, but strongly white. Thank you for staying true to the process. It is very liberating. I eventually sent my mother a second picture of my white hair intermixed with my dark grey hair in the back while my son and I were dancing at his wedding. I will be 56 in mid March.
Thank you for this video beautiful Monique ! I ordered my extreme silver overtone for my natural silver hair 🖤I have watch this video so many time and I was so confused before but now I am so sure what I want ....because of you ,your amazing videos , I just love you x
Hello Monique! I really enjoyed watching this video ... I know much more after the video than I knew before. Coloring hair is an anomaly to me so I found this fascinating. I was waiting, ever so patiently, for you to model it. Alas, I will be looking forward to seeing it on you in future videos! Thanks for teaching me something new.🌿
The tones are nice. They look pretty sophisticated to me. I like it. The darker appearance is good. I would be very happy with this, Monique
I used Overtone silver a few years back on my bleached hair when I was transitioning to gray. Back then I think they only had one shade of silver. The overtone tended to pull blue on my hair so I had to be careful not to leave it on too long. I no longer use it once I finished my transition.
I'm 31, I think your natural silver is beautiful! I have never died my hair but I'm thinking about going Sandy Brown. Summer vibes 😊
Hi Monique. I really enjoyed this video. I think the wig looks really pretty. I think you are seeing a little yellow tone thru the top layer is because you are using a tinted conditioner after all not a hair dye. You got very good results.
I use oVertone Extreme Red Treatment on my already red colored hair to intensify the color between applications. The difference between the three types (pastel, vibrant, extreme) is the amount of pigment in the product. Extreme has the most pigment and pastel has the least, that would explain the difference in "purple" casting you're seeing at the bottom vs. the top :)
Hello Monique
Your hair is GORGEOUS! I keep dying my hair Dark Brown to cover my Gray. The Salon I go to says that I am about 60% gray in the front with hardly any in the back. I have to go at least every 4 weeks to cover my Stripes. I
I notice that your hair seems to have some darks at the hair line. Do you dye your hair at all? I have been wanting to dye my hair the color of yours for so long. But as I can not afford plastic surgery, and my face is “ lowering”, I don’t want to look OLD. You do not have ANY signs of aging at all. What do you suggest I try?
Thank you
omg I love this product. for those who need to transition, wish I had this when I grew mine out, I don't believe there is anything quite like this on the market....
mmommo did you try it?
Hi mmommo, I'd like to know if this will work on my permanent colored ends. I'm growing my hair out. The front of my hair is pretty white/gray but the back will be mousy brown. The majority of my hair is still blonde. I'm afraid of putting something over it??
Interesting! I think your hair is a perfect colour! The wig looks a bit dark and flat. Your hair is light and healthy and a great combination of colour.
I was scared in the beginning how that yellow blonde wig would look but pleasantly surprised how easy you made it look at the end . X
For a blonde wig, that's a great result!
Have you tried Keracolor & Clenditioner? It comes in Silver and Platinum, it’s for people who dye their hair gray to keep the color vibrant when the dye starts to fade. It’s temporary and eventually washes out. It also comes in other colors, Rose gold, pink, purple......
Hi Monique, You are such a classy lady. Your hair is so pretty. The middle section is my favorite.
That is such a cool idea doing it with the three tones.
Very informative and interesting. You did a great job of demonstrating these color variants!
Purple extensions!!! Purple purple purple! You looked so nice in the lavender wig & dress & makeup video yiuvdid a while back. That would be sooo amazing! I can live vicariously through you! I want to die my hair purple but I don’t know what it would lol like and I’m not nearly as adventurous as you are Monique!
Whatever happened to SparkLily? Did I miss it? Still on hold? Such a good idea!
Hi Monique! I love all 3 colors! I think you did a great job! Hugs from CT ❤️ ❤️❤️
Monique, you are awesome. Thank you so much ch for sharing your life.
That's the wig you paid big bucks for, isn't it that looked so bombshell when you showed it us a few weeks ago. You have decided to go your grey with it. You are now doing videos at the new place and the curtains are looking just right. We all got used to seeing that vintage closet on the corner. Did you bring it to the new place for old times sake? Yes , having that nice polished table to do your demos is good. You need one of those beauty mirrors with light bulbs would be fab to show us your make up applications. It's all upgrade, Monique, from the last apartment and a new era x
Found your video to be interesting. Your own natural color is much more gray/silver than the lightest tone offered you. You have a lovely gray/silver w sparkly look. Probably should use the lightest Overtone and def use in your under hair. Thank you for this lovely video.
Your hair looks gorgeous in this clip. Perfect length, and I love the flip!
I have silver white hair, which can be a bit boring, for me anyway. I use all different kinds of products to give it some dimension, including toners. A few too that you have tried, recommended 😉
Rules are made to be broken and there is no better time than in your second half of life to stop caring about what people expect from you.
Absolutely perfect i just left their website cause i couldnt decide on a silver and here's a video of all three! Firstly thank you, and second its not boring at all were chuckling our asses off watching you struggle with the mannequin because it wasnt tightened stiff enough
That wig looks amazing!
Monique, you have a delightful combination of down to earth, yet poised. I love your videos.
I used that on my silver, but I thought it made it too silvery and I'm going for a white look. I discovered keracolor clenditioner in platinum that really does the job and makes your hair soft too! Maybe you should try that out in a video. 😁
Looks Beautiful Monique! You got the color very close to the color of your own hair Awesome! I kept waiting for you to try it on! lol But I will look forward to seeing it on you in future videos. You make turning grey very appealing :) Thank you for sharing it with us, your videos are always teaching me something. ;)
Hi Monique. A new theme has emerged in my dream life. I dye my hair and it looks amazing, yet I feel a sinking feeling. Its, ohhhh nooooo what have I done, how long will it take to get this out ? Haha, I guess my silver hair is here to stay. Its very pretty and soft.
I'm learning our "gray" is really white hair as yours. Platinum more than gray. That shade for sure is dark. Mine turned that color when I bleached and dyed but realized to grow out my hair it needs to be lighter because my "gray" is white.
Wow you are brave. You did a fantastic job. You are very good with styling your hair with wigs. I have never used one. But enjoy watching your video's with the wigs. You get some fun looks.
Thank you Monique for your video . I gave up on dying my hair that was naturally black and now I am going all grey . But I been going to the salon for toner and toner doesn’t seem to quite stay longer .My question is how long this color will last ,how many weeks . And how often I need to use it ?Please reply . Thanks again.And what should I do to maintain it?
I would like to know also. Hope she answers.
I have a question. First time to hear about overtone conditioner. If I use it on my hair. Will it stay permanently? If not, while it goes away with washes will my hair become gradually the way it was before?
This material damages hair? And what if someone decides to use it always what are the intervals between applications? Once a week? Month?
Monique your hair is gorgeous. I have the salt and pepper natural hair. I would like to get the silver look of this Overtone
Good work! It's hard to tell from the video but I think you're correct, it does have more of a hold hue. Your hair is more silvery, brighter? I'm wondering how does one go about changing or modifying the color in the wig? Is it possible? Have fun with it!
My grey hair is much lighter than Monique's, almost pure white. However it turned into a yucky dingy yellow-brown after a keratin hair treatment as it used a very high temperature straightening iron. No amount of purple shampoo could turned it back to its former icy silver-white color !!!
Luckily my friend taught me this method and I was able to get my hair back to its' original color :
1. Washed it with a clarifying shampoo ( Neutrogena ). Dried it.
2. Mixed white conditioner ( Shiseido ) with a 10Vol Creme Developer ( Shiseido ) . Applied it on dry hair for 30 mins. Rinsed and dried it.
3. Applied BLUE shampoo( not purple shampoo ) such as Fanola No Orange shampoo. Leave it for a few hours. Rinsed it.
4. Repeat it again next week.
Monique, What are you currently using on your hair? Transitioning now and need some help/advice. Love your videos !!!
Pretty grays! I WOULDNT MIND THIS
Overtone only deposits color , it does not lighten ... if you go to their website they have examples of what each color does on various colors of hair ( lighter/white /platinum up to brown ) and they have various colors ,fantasy and natural colors , it is basically a conditioner . for me the only draw back is the price . I havent yet tried the gray line but now i know what color to get a trial size of . Thank you for another great video !
I wonder if a tiny bit of Overtone purple would take the yellow cast out of the top section? I use Overtone and enjoy it a lot. And you’d look amazing with a bit of hot pink peeking out of your hair. You can also get snap in one inch sections in pink just to play with it. 💕
Purple added, yes. That would be perfect
Thank you so much for this video and for using all 3 silvers 🤍🤍🤍
It turned out very pretty Monique. Love the shades of it.
your new place looks so nice. you seem so happy. congrats.
Very interesting. I have bleached long blonde hair and decided to go gray. It’s been almost a year and I have a bout 6 inches of growth. My salon said there isn’t a product that would transition me to gray. Now i see this product. Does it work on bleach blonde hair? Well you said the wig was bleached blonde so I guess so. I have never colored my own hair. Is the process pretty simple? It appears to be. Sort of scared. I do use a blow dryer a few days a week. Is that ok?
Love it. Going to buy all 3 tones on the extentions. Dark top for shadow root!
I love the color of your hair and your hair cut and your makeup very beautiful on you classy
Is it a permanent color? Thanks!
I really like the idea of this product! I want to keep all the variations of tones I currently have in my salt and pepper hair, but play with color. I actually did an aubergine shadow root with a smoky lilac over the rest. I actually want a smoky lilac over my natural silver and this may work better than the Ion color to do the shadow root effect.
Look forward to seeing this wig on you!
Does this do anything on grey hair because she is using it on dyed blonde hair which takes different than natural grey.
Her silver hair is so pretty. Looking at transitioning my hair and stop coloring it.
Hi Monique, I used overtone pale silver on my light blonde hair and it turned beautiful lighy silver but after couple washes my yellow hair comes out and Overtone washes out. For awhile I was really happy.
Thank you I will try Fanola Shampoo, I bought Schwarzkopf IGORA Absolute Silver White Brightening Spray, I saw you used it on one of your videos, I didn’t use it yet but I will very soon. Thank you for recommending these products to me. I need all the help and support from you.
It looks like gun metal gray on my little phone screen. Love the colors. What do you use for shampoo on human-hair wigs?
I love it. You make it look so easy Monique. This certainly looks like a great product.
Hi Monique- question for you here! I know you have been many colours over the years, but I was wondering what your go to dyes were for when you were a redhead? Thanks!
Your own color is gorgeous. I would like to know how to get that!!
Your natural hair is far more vibrant & beautiful than the wig color... I’ve had some issues with yellowing in my grey/platinum locks, but I don’t want my hair to be any darker. I’ll guess I’ll let nature take its natural course. Enjoyed your video.
Your nail color wasn't lost on me either! 😉
It turned out great! Very natural looking!!!Good job! Wondering how long the conditioner lasts as opposed to a toner or bleach.
Im wondering that as well.
Great Job Monique! I just ordered some pastel to try to transition to gray. I was platinum but due to COVID, haven’t had a color since Feb.
Yout hair is gorgeous. Natural gray is the prettiest and I don't think there is anyway to get it exact. I am 50/50 right now. 50 silver and 50 very dark brown. I just do light auburn. Hopefully in the next few years I can just go silver.
You did a great job Monique. Loved the pastel. My question, what thermal protection would you recommend I've tried a few and they're quite sticky. I'm naturally silver
Wow! That turned out really nice!
Your silver--and on the wig, too--looks so pretty. Would love to try it myself, but I don't think I could wear that color. Fun video to watch.
the litest colour matches your hair perfectly
Thanks Monique.
I have seen a lot of ads and I am eager to try it.
Love your explanation 👌 I despise overtone as a stylist but wow with all the considerations you mentioned I know many who need this lol
Your silver hair is gorgeous..I’m 52 and transitioning my dyed hair to silver …is yours highlighted or toned? The dimension is so pretty, hoping mine eventually looks like that ❤️
It came out really nice! I’ve got some beautiful really good quality golden blonde (might have to bleach first, think they’re a medium golden blonde) extensions from many years back when I was still dying my hair. I had the very same idea of trying to dye them, some in some wild colours (I’m really itching for colour, but can’t decide extensions would be the perfect answer - could use some volume as well), the rest silver. The pastel silver looks like it might be best for trying to match my hair, as like you mine is very silvery/ white. I did have a look on their website - no white, just various shades of silver you used. If you do this please show! Fab video, thanks for introducing me to a new silver hair product! Jet🧡🎸🎶⚡️🦇🦋
Yet again Monique is looking Amazzzzzing!!! I have alway since I started dying my hair & working in salons been lightest ash blonde but Im going 4 the silver steel. Schwartz colours. Ive bought 2 & ive bleached my roots but im woried & think I shoulda bought silver or blue shampoo. Mixed it up in a bowl & added it as u would do a colour, leave it in 4 15-20mins 2 cancel out any unwated yellow or orange tones. Infact. Ive got my lunch break soon so im off 2 buy some shampoo. Ill know 2night how it all goes. 🤞
How long does the overtone last? how long was it left on? Thanks for the great video!
Monica, probably one of your best videos to date. Great production, editing, and content. I learned a ton. Maybe consider getting a Rode microphone to cut out the echo.
Thanks for this. I was debating the 3 types of silvers for my highlighted ends to match my fishing twine, gray roots and I think vibrant is a good medium for me. Your test was perfect.
How did it turn out?
Does this eventually wash out❓ will it turn yellow ❓
