I need help - I was almost grey and someone recommended me a shampoo that gives ur gray hair a light brown tint … and was natural … tried and my hair became like copper color … what to use to remove this color ? I really want to go gray again …
Thank you so much for being a hairdresser who doesn't shame people who can't afford to go to get their hair dyed at the salon! Love these great tips Thank you!
This is so helpful thank you! Always been too nervous to try to do my roots at home but I’ll give it a try after this. Will definitely add the gloss to the mid and ends. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I love how you covered the grey roots dark and then used a lighter color for the rest so it’s not so flat and boring. It looks beautiful!
Hi Gabi 😊 I love you even more now (lol). I have been doing my roots at a salon for years - I was going every 3 weeks and all in, my total bill was $180. I recently decided to start coloring my own hair at home in between salon visits - my hairdresser noticed of course - the owner of the salon overheard our conversation, came over and said to me if I continue to color my hair at home don't bother coming back. So I never went back which is why I appreciate you and this video. Don't get me wrong, I have a ton of respect for hairdressers but it was just starting to get to costly and was hoping for other options rather than, don't come back. I also wanted to ask your opinion on the brand Herbatint - sold at Shoppers, is this a good brand? Thank you once again Gabi, have a beautiful day 💕
Wow are you serious?!? They told you not to come back? That is absolutely horrible. I just don’t understand that. I could see them telling you that due to the box dye, you may have limitations as to what you are able to do next with your color, but you should have never been sent away. That’s not right. People need to check their ego and their privilege. As for the color - I am so sorry. I use I could help but I’ve never tried it before.
@@GlamGirlGabi Yes she did - maybe she didn't think I would take her seriously, but when I asked her why she said it will compromise the results of their products. I started with root touch ups every 6 weeks, then once a month and about 2 years now it was every 3 weeks ( sometimes 2 if I had an event) - it was just getting too costly for me. It was a little embarrassing and she try to reach out to me over the summer but I am not sure what options she could provide me with that's why I am doing it at home for the time being - I am trying to see if I can find another salon. This is also why I am so happy I found your channel, and I appreciate you. So I have been using this Herbatint but I will try the brand you used today for future as I trust your recommendation more than I trust myself...lol. I don't know anything about coloring hair - but I'm learning. Thanks again Gabi - you are awesome ❣
@@antoniarebelo6703 I agree. I am a professional hairstylist but I have cut and colored my own hair for over 20 years. With practice, it gets easier to color your own hair and cover grays. Follow Gabi's advice, be patient with the learning curve, and you will see that you will be very happy with the results 🙂
You are a gem 💎 this is the perfect coloring grey hair video , explained everything so well! I always use Vaseline around me edges like you said but didn’t realize that’s why it wasn’t coloring because I’m quite sure I put some on my hair😂 can’t wait to try it again. Following all your steps👏👏👏 thank you! Everyone can’t do their own hair, fortunately I can, so I always appreciate stylist who share tips, it’s not going to hurt your pockets, I don’t care how many videos you do someone is not going to be able to do it, or like me not always wanting to do it. Need more professionals like you👍 new subbie 🎉
Hi! I loved this tutorial. Thank you. I have two questions for you though: 1.) if you don’t have a hairdresser sink at home suggestions to not stain your shower? Mine is marble so I’ve considered doing it in a ceramic tile guest bathroom instead but still nervous with staining. 2.) can you use semi permanent hair color on the gray roots to get some coverage in btw visits to the salon so it’s less damaging but knowing it just won’t last as long?
I tried it and am glad I did. I have not colored or even hair dried my hair in over 5 years. I have had a lot of gray but more huge streaks that are pretty, but I wanted to cover for now. It worked. I almost gave up with really thick hair past the middle of my back. The other color on the ends will be better for my hair. Thanks
You are absolutely a living doll! You are so uplifting and helpful! I am 55 and blonde. My natural hair is ashy blonde. I have only gotten lowlights and highlights throughout my life. Can you plz show us how we could use box dyes to achieve this same effect? Thank you so much!
very informative video as far as the products, I did not know there is a gloss I can purchase and do at home, thanx. I might give it a try, I don't have much hair and my hair are curly. I dislike very much to have gray hair, so I spend a lot of $$ every single month! I too, would like to save some bucks! In this video it is not apparent how to color your own hair! It is clear how to color someone else hair. Can you please recommend a video where the model colors her own hair, medium length? Thank you very much
This was so helpful! Thank you, love this. I feel more relaxed now about all this, being gray at such a young age. When do I start the timer? As soon as I start? Or after I am done applying? Thank you!!
thank you for sharing this great and helpful video!! just one question, when you used the gloss, did you apply that right after the hair dye to the roots? thanks and keep the great work!!!
Hi Gabi! This is so hard for me lol! You make it look so easy, I get my roots done in the salon every 7 weeks 😩 if I could master this my wallet will thank you lol!! You look beautiful as always!❤😊
It’s hard for a lot of people. I can totally understand that. When I had my salon, I used to offer a “root and run” package where they could get their grey roots applied, washed and they would leave wet. It saved me loads of time and it saved the clients loads of money. You could always ask your stylist if she could offer that for you to save money long term.
this is a great video, thank you so much. I am going to definitely try the gloss product. My problem is this....when I color my hair at home my roots are always too light and sometimes a little warmer than I want. What am I doing wrong?
Hey! You would do the exact same thing. You would paint the roots with your natural color in a permanent (keeping it as neat and tidy as you can and only painting the roots so you don't eliminate your highlights too far down) and you would tone the ends with a direct dye in a lighter color (like an ash blonde, honey blonde, etc.). When it comes to bringing the highlights back up, you would likely have to see your stylist.That is super complicated to do at home.
I get a semi- permanent colour because my scalp can't take dye. It's heavy on my teacher salary pocketbook right now to get it done in the salon. Which semi-permanent product do you suggest? I have hair colour similar to your natural (dark brown). xo
Hi Gabi! I just discovered your channel! Thank you for putting videos out here like this. For financial reasons I have to start doing my hair at home. I'm in California. Do you do virtual consults for help with choosing the correct box dye and gloss shades? Thanks!
Omg thank you this is exactly what I needed to see and hear and her and I are the exact same color! Haha well, I may be a 5A but hey…close enough!! ❤❤❤
What is the best way to find the right color? I'm getting a lot of grey on my temples, and I'm trying to save money by trying to do it myself. My hair was highlighted a year ago with babylights to blend the grey, so that's obviously the bottom part of my hair but other than that it has no color on it. For a first time color should I do your method you suggest here? Or just go ahead with all over color?
Just reviewing all your videos . Thank you! I love the gloss. And have been using it in the shower. Lol..allover. but it doesn't really coer the gray. I love the cocktail idea. My question? If you do this. How often can you use the gloss after? And can I gloss all over after the color? What do you recommend? The gloss instructions say you can do this treatment often. With the addition of the permanent dye. What do you recommend?
I've been dyeing my hair for ages. Out of a box. I have very curly hair so I get away with a lot of mishaps. I color my roots every 4 weeks or so. You mentioned finishing up with a gloss on the middle and tips of the hair. How would I go about selecting a gloss to match or complement the dye color? I use L'Oréal Excellence Medium Brown F. Very neutral brown and so close to my natural hair color.
I recently did Brazilian blowout when I can color it also I had bought the shampoo and conditioner and serum for the keratin what conditioner I should use after the color only , thank you in advance and thank you kindly for sharing your profession 🌷😊
I don't know if it's available in Canada, but have you ever seen or used Clairol Advanced Gray Solutions semi-permanent? It completely covers grays with no ammonia, the only semipermanent I know that can do this.
First I’m in awe that Gabi applied color while wearing that beautiful jacket. Me I’m in my hair colored stained t-shirt. Secondly, and most importantly, thank you for your guidance in helping us choose and apply hair color ourselves. It’s hard at $200 a pop 6-8 weeks apart 🩷
Thank you Gabi! Yet another great video. I have a question that is not particularly related to this topic ( I have grey/silver hair) : why am I getting flyaways after I remove the velcro rollers? What am I doing wrong?. Please help. You haven't steered me wrong yet
I noticed that you shampoo and condition after you rinsed the dye out. I always believed we were not supposed to use shampoo for several days when we dye at home. Please clarify... ❤your videos 😂
I would suggest washing & conditioning after color. You need to rinse/wash away any leftover color to ensure an all over even appearance & the conditioner helps restore the hairs natural moisture that might have been removed during the coloring process. Always start with clean, dry hair too! 💗
Your very understanding. I am a special needs individual I can’t afford a salon . I also can’t drive . I have access to salon color. But I don’t know the hair color level system. I know salon color runs darker. Then box color. I wish I had can talk to a hairdresser about and she can guide me. I’m worried about going too dark.
Yes I understand the struggle. I am going to try to make a video all about color levels so that it’s helpful for more people. I think the level system can really confuse people.
Thank you for posting this video! Now can you please tell us how the heck to deposit very light blonde (almost platinum) onto gray/white hair? Nothing is sticking to my white hair coming in; it’s exasperating.
Hi from BC! Gabi, I'm 60 and have let my white/silver/grey grow out to about my ears now, and the leftover colour is a medium/light warm brown (which I don't really like, rather yellow; would prefer ash and lowlights). Now i have a white top, basically, and after trying it out for a few months I've decided... i just can't. My regrowth is surprisingly a med/dark grey but only starts halfway down my head, not my scalp. My hair is a long bob (at shoulders) with side-swept bangs, wavy. Is there a way i can get it back to maybe 2 colours (low-lights) on the "top" (a medium/light brown and a slightly darker one, and bring the darker colour onto my "old" coloured hair to kind of blend it all in? Kind of work with what I have) and perhaps keep some of the white around my face and ears? When I say it out loud that seems complicated and time-consuming... and achey arms. 😁
I think if you found a stylist that really understood the look you are going for it is possible. I would try to find some images to show what you're looking for and maybe set up some consultations with great stylists in your area.
I know this is an old video, but I have a question; my regular hair color is in between a light and medium brown and the grays are kind of just scattered but, how do you know whether I should get a light ash brown or medium ash brown for the roots? I've been going to the store for months trying to figure this out and I'm stumped.
Hi, I have a question! How often can you dye your hair at home like this? I colored my hair 2 times with 3-4 weeks between those times, and I damaged my hair to the point it burned the ends off in the front of my hair :( I was coloring my greys with a box dye with my natural hair color. It washed off pretty soon so i wanted to do it again and then after a couple of months I realized I wasn't growing baby hairs, it was my "burned off" hair. Still not sure why it happened.
I like your tutorial, I have dark brown hair and stubborn grey hairs at the front and both sides. what would be a right color to cover the grays frm roots and not having hot roots ?
Do you include the application time in the total processing time or is it in addition to the application time? Thanks for all the great information. (I bought the ME color hair powder because of one of your videos. It is such a great product!)
Hey! I am so glad that you like that product! It is definitely one of my favourites! When you start your root application, that 45 minute timer starts when all of your roots are covered. So the front will likely stay on for 50 minutes if it takes you 5 minutes to apply. Start the timer the minute the root colour is applied evenly around the entire head.
As the hair grows, won’t that dark root color make the kids and ends look dark and get flat eventually? Does that mean we need to add bleach highlight in 3-6 months? Sorry I’m new to this.
That’s a fantastic question. The answer is variable depending on the porosity of the hair but most likely no because as your hair grows, it fades substantially and you’re not overlapping permanent color. So you’re always applying the direct dye on top of the faded permanent color. It’s not getting darker as it grows because it’s fading. However with that said, adding highlights every once in a while will make it looks super beautiful and more multi tonal.
Dear Ghabi ! So grateful🙏 I just came across you . Any recommendations for a good mask treatment for damaged hair after years of using the coloring boxes at home ?
This is great! Thank for the video. Would you be able to give us other color combinations that work well together? My hair is not that dark but still cool tone.
I am almost all gray and wanted to do an all over color and add some dimension. Would you suggest first coloring the hair fully with the box dye and then going back a few days later with the glaze?
Hi Gabi, just found your Chanel, and I’m loving it, you have a new subscriber. I have grey hair which is thinning on top. I stopped coloring because every time I did it, even with a semi permanent color, I noticed I would loose more of my finer hair. The grey is ok, but it really does age you, if you are already in your 60s, to begin with. Any suggestions, is there ant hair dye that will not damage my hair?
Thank you for the video . I am Indian with dark brown hair and a fair complexion. What would be a good gloss color for me ? I use Maddison Reed . Thanks
I use Di Vinci permanent color in 7g and 7c. I mix in the red maybe 20 percent. What color would you suggest in the gloss ? I usually just color the roots and only have gray around my hairline. Thank you for sharing.
So if I aim for a slightly lighter than my natural hair color, how do I prevent the brassy/orange look? Is there something I can do beforehand to prevent that? Ex: I'm a natural 4 dark brown. (Right now, lots of grays though). But want to be a medium ash or medium golden brown. Can I just use the Medium golden brown box color without chaos ensuing. I'm scared. 🙄
Hello thank you soo much for this video!! Just found you and subscribed now!! Would love your help finding out which ones I can pick up today at the drugstore! I bought dye at Sally’s colour 4NN intense dark brown and mixed 5AA medium double ash brown six months back and did my hair then meeting to do my hair again ASAP! I have a lot of greys and would like to do exactly what you’ve done here but with a colour that will be similar to these colours I used previously. Would love to use the gloss for my ends! Would love your feedback on which I should buy.
If one has to use the grey coverage for the whole hair / head because never using a colour before... can I then use the gloss later for the upside of the gloss results? Very concerned about having a flat all over cover.
Hello so i jacked up my hair ive always gone to a hair salon but as ive gotten older my stubborn whites come out in 3 weeks so the time spent in the salon annoyed me. So I had a beautiful salon bayalage and attempted to do only roots but the medium brown box didnt cover them it just changed the shade to a wierd light brown color like hot roots so then 3 weeks later i bought another box but a cool dark brown and let it sit longer but the root color completely changed the bayalage look so i threw the remaining dye all over and now my hair is black. So A. What at home product with little to no damage will strip the black? B. How do i get my all over color a choc brown color. C. How do i get my white roots to match the all over color should i leave it on the roots longer or use a different color for my roots? Thanks for your help.

I need help - I was almost grey and someone recommended me a shampoo that gives ur gray hair a light brown tint … and was natural … tried and my hair became like copper color … what to use to remove this color ? I really want to go gray again …
“No one should be shaming you for doing at home color”. Gabi, on behalf of widows on fixed incomes THANK YOU 😊
I got you girl ❤️
Thank you so much for being a hairdresser who doesn't shame people who can't afford to go to get their hair dyed at the salon! Love these great tips Thank you!
Only a great professional hairstylist can color hair wearing a beautiful white leather jacket! Incredible! ❤❤
This is so helpful thank you! Always been too nervous to try to do my roots at home but I’ll give it a try after this. Will definitely add the gloss to the mid and ends. Thank you!
I’ve never come across this channel before … what a great direct and informative video. Very well made !!!
My new stylist is very condescending and after a $70 bad root touch up, I will try these products! Ty
Thank you for such a positive attitude for us on a budget box girls!!❤
Thank you for this video! I love how you covered the grey roots dark and then used a lighter color for the rest so it’s not so flat and boring. It looks beautiful!
Thank you!!! I followed your instructions step by step for this and my color is spot-on now!

Looks great 💖 , 👍 the colour is great and love the gloss tips Gabi 🤩
Yes that is a little trick that most people don't know about that works super well! Thank you for watching and supporting!

I am so happy that you enjoy the videos. Thank you for taking time to leave me that feedback. It really means a lot to me.

@@GlamGirlGabi can you show it with salon color cause it runs darker ?
Thank you for posting this video! Now can you please tell us how the heck to deposit very light blonde (almost platinum) onto gray/white hair? Nothing is sticking to my white hair coming in; it’s exasperating.
Hi from BC! Gabi, I'm 60 and have let my white/silver/grey grow out to about my ears now, and the leftover colour is a medium/light warm brown (which I don't really like, rather yellow; would prefer ash and lowlights). Now i have a white top, basically, and after trying it out for a few months I've decided... i just can't. My regrowth is surprisingly a med/dark grey but only starts halfway down my head, not my scalp. My hair is a long bob (at shoulders) with side-swept bangs, wavy. Is there a way i can get it back to maybe 2 colours (low-lights) on the "top" (a medium/light brown and a slightly darker one, and bring the darker colour onto my "old" coloured hair to kind of blend it all in? Kind of work with what I have) and perhaps keep some of the white around my face and ears? When I say it out loud that seems complicated and time-consuming... and achey arms. 😁
I think if you found a stylist that really understood the look you are going for it is possible. I would try to find some images to show what you're looking for and maybe set up some consultations with great stylists in your area.
Loved the intro, thanks for the tutorial
Holy moly! She is stunning! Can’t believe she already has greys!
Thanks!... that makes TOTAL sense... i will try it next time 🥰
No problem. I’m happy you found this video helpful.
I was looking at this color thanks.
It's pretty good! I liked it a lot.
Did you put the gloss on dry hair or moisten it first? Do you recommend a brush dye application over a squeeze bottle?
Thanks, Gabi - Nice tip to keep the hair healthy! Trying this when I next need to color! Muah 💋
Let me know how it goes if you end up giving it a shot!
I love you girl! You are beautiful and inspiring! ❤
You're the best! Thank you 💕
I know this is an old video, but I have a question; my regular hair color is in between a light and medium brown and the grays are kind of just scattered but, how do you know whether I should get a light ash brown or medium ash brown for the roots? I've been going to the store for months trying to figure this out and I'm stumped.
Hi, I have a question! How often can you dye your hair at home like this? I colored my hair 2 times with 3-4 weeks between those times, and I damaged my hair to the point it burned the ends off in the front of my hair :( I was coloring my greys with a box dye with my natural hair color. It washed off pretty soon so i wanted to do it again and then after a couple of months I realized I wasn't growing baby hairs, it was my "burned off" hair. Still not sure why it happened.
You both have good ends.
Hey Gabi don't mind whats your lipstick shade m absolutely in love with your shade
Thank you for this video! I'm going to try this!
I like your tutorial, I have dark brown hair and stubborn grey hairs at the front and both sides. what would be a right color to cover the grays frm roots and not having hot roots ?
Do you include the application time in the total processing time or is it in addition to the application time? Thanks for all the great information. (I bought the ME color hair powder because of one of your videos. It is such a great product!)
Hey! I am so glad that you like that product! It is definitely one of my favourites! When you start your root application, that 45 minute timer starts when all of your roots are covered. So the front will likely stay on for 50 minutes if it takes you 5 minutes to apply. Start the timer the minute the root colour is applied evenly around the entire head.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thank you!
As the hair grows, won’t that dark root color make the kids and ends look dark and get flat eventually? Does that mean we need to add bleach highlight in 3-6 months? Sorry I’m new to this.
That’s a fantastic question. The answer is variable depending on the porosity of the hair but most likely no because as your hair grows, it fades substantially and you’re not overlapping permanent color. So you’re always applying the direct dye on top of the faded permanent color. It’s not getting darker as it grows because it’s fading. However with that said, adding highlights every once in a while will make it looks super beautiful and more multi tonal.
Hey dear very nice information I have medium dark skin and I have a dark brown hair so which gloss I can choose dear?
Dear Ghabi ! So grateful🙏 I just came across you . Any recommendations for a good mask treatment for damaged hair after years of using the coloring boxes at home ?
Just found your channel. I recently decided to stop coloring my hair, not sure how long i will go. Can i color all hair with gel?
This is great! Thank for the video. Would you be able to give us other color combinations that work well together? My hair is not that dark but still cool tone.
Your intro sold me new sub lol love you already ❤
Can you do a video that shows ar home root smudging or what ever the other terms are …for those that want to lessen the grey look for longer ;).
Hey! What do you mean by root smudging? Can you explain or even leave me a link where you saw that? I can look into it.
I am almost all gray and wanted to do an all over color and add some dimension. Would you suggest first coloring the hair fully with the box dye and then going back a few days later with the glaze?
I totally APPRECIATE this video! I am going to try this!!!!
I’m so happy to hear that it was helpful for you!
I have never looked better! I didn't get the colored I got clear!!!! 🤯 This was a miracle moment for my hair!!!! Thank you again!!!!🙏🏼
@@urabundant That is GREAT to hear! I am so happy for you!! YAY!
Do semi permanent dyes actually wash out of gray? I want to do a temporary change on my salt and pepper grow out .
Hi Gabi, just found your Chanel, and I’m loving it, you have a new subscriber. I have grey hair which is thinning on top. I stopped coloring because every time I did it, even with a semi permanent color, I noticed I would loose more of my finer hair. The grey is ok, but it really does age you, if you are already in your 60s, to begin with. Any suggestions, is there ant hair dye that will not damage my hair?
By the way I do use a purple shampoo, and my skin color and natural hair color is very much like yours😊
Hey
Great video
Do you have any suggestions for me I'm allergic to box dye I get a bad reaction
Thank you for the video . I am Indian with dark brown hair and a fair complexion. What would be a good gloss color for me ? I use Maddison Reed . Thanks
I use Di Vinci permanent color in 7g and 7c. I mix in the red maybe 20 percent. What color would you suggest in the gloss ? I usually just color the roots and only have gray around my hairline. Thank you for sharing.
So if I aim for a slightly lighter than my natural hair color, how do I prevent the brassy/orange look? Is there something I can do beforehand to prevent that? Ex: I'm a natural 4 dark brown. (Right now, lots of grays though). But want to be a medium ash or medium golden brown. Can I just use the Medium golden brown box color without chaos ensuing. I'm scared. 🙄
Hello thank you soo much for this video!! Just found you and subscribed now!! Would love your help finding out which ones I can pick up today at the drugstore! I bought dye at Sally’s colour 4NN intense dark brown and mixed 5AA medium double ash brown six months back and did my hair then meeting to do my hair again ASAP!
I have a lot of greys and would like to do exactly what you’ve done here but with a colour that will be similar to these colours I used previously. Would love to use the gloss for my ends! Would love your feedback on which I should buy.
If one has to use the grey coverage for the whole hair / head because never using a colour before... can I then use the gloss later for the upside of the gloss results?
Very concerned about having a flat all over cover.
Hello so i jacked up my hair ive always gone to a hair salon but as ive gotten older my stubborn whites come out in 3 weeks so the time spent in the salon annoyed me. So I had a beautiful salon bayalage and attempted to do only roots but the medium brown box didnt cover them it just changed the shade to a wierd light brown color like hot roots so then 3 weeks later i bought another box but a cool dark brown and let it sit longer but the root color completely changed the bayalage look so i threw the remaining dye all over and now my hair is black. So A. What at home product with little to no damage will strip the black? B. How do i get my all over color a choc brown color. C. How do i get my white roots to match the all over color should i leave it on the roots longer or use a different color for my roots? Thanks for your help.
I am going to try this but I will be using schwarkopf in light brown would I still use the loreal Le Color Gloss in Cool Brunette ?
But do you rinse the roots first before adding the 2nd color boost?
I been doing this and is way better and cheaper and healthier 👏🏼
Amazing! I'm glad it's working for you.
Is the gloss color treatment harmful to permed hair, bc I love my curls, & do not want to lose them more quickly.
