Here is a follow up video answering some questions… ua-cam.com/video/t4iO24W7OxU/v-deo.html
I’d love to see a platinum blonde to light cool brown or medium cool/ashy toned brown! This tutorial was amazing and so in depth, thank you! 💞
I’ve never found a colorist that provides depth you guys are killing it !
The best vid I’ve ever seen .....your clearly a qualified hairdresser like myself & a lot of people have no idea what pre pig even means
Thanks honey xxxxx
Wow this was so informative! The end result was absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing! I really liked how you explained your formula's and why you chose those specific colors.
AndreaDanielleHair thank you so much for your comment! So glad this was helpful and informative! 🌸
I love the way you explained why you did what you did... very professional and new subscriber now... lovely results!
Cathy Arnett thank you so much 🌸
I watched this video what felt like 100 times, but I finally did it! I'm all about teaching and learning but went to a beauty school and ended up with half my head my natural level 3/4 and the rest level 9 blonde. I followed each step and my hair turned out gorgeous. The way you explain and go through the steps made me feel confident I could do it and I did. Thank you!! Now I'm looking for highlighting videos from you because I want to add a couple of sun colored highlights cause I do love me some blonde. :-)
This makes me so happy that you found the confidence to do it! 🙌🏼
You did a great job...such a beautiful color.
Honestly the color you filled her with was so beautiful! I wish she would have stayed the color you filled her with
This video is so helpful and easy to follow. The end result of the hair is gorgeous! Thanks for the informative vid!
I’m so glad you found this helpful 🥰
You are very good at describing, explaining and being clear about it! I would trust you on my hair :)
Thank you!
Great job very pretty tones excellent job
Best video on here ! Thanks ! Going to be doing this 😃
New subscriber!! I love this color 😍😍😍 I want my brown back!
I love the way it looked after the filler colours!
Yes. except it would fade very quickly. if you liked that color, then I would suggest applying that same formula over again for the final shade
Excellent video,thank you ! 🙂❤️
I recently bleached my dark hair to a copper colour which I then put purple on, now that the purple is almost all faded out am I able to dye my hair back to a dark brown from the copper without filler
I just went from a brassy color to a dark brown in my latest video and love it!!!! I like the dark color on her too.
What a beautiful color you gave her. I've been going blonde little by little and my hair is sooo compromised because it's too thing that I just want to go back to brunette. Maybe I should try this formula.
Vanessa G thank you. Fill formulas can be adjusted and so can your final shade. Good luck with your decision 🌸
Fab video especially during lockdown! Am level 6. Have bleached blonde highlights that are now 6 months old. Want to use Maitrix and have just bought their 10 Developer which I think I mix with 6CG to fill highlights first. I want to go to Dark Blonde Copper red. Could you possibly tell me which Color Sync colours to use after I've washed and dried hair after filler stage and also, do I use Volumizer again for the second stage or just the straight tint?
Question: if my starting/natural hair tone level is different than 4, should I simply scale the corresponding dye color levels to reflect the change in the root tone number? If I wanted the same color/look exactly.. Hopefully that makes sense. My hair is bleach blonde with some icy tones and my natural hair color is a dishwater blonde
I’ve always wanted to try darker hair, my natural hair is probably a level 7 and my mids and ends are lifted to a 10. I’m scared to go dark that I won’t ever be able to go back light if I go dark. Any recommendations?
this was such an amazing informative informational video!
Glad it was helpful!
I have about an inch of regrowth and about a level 9 on mids and ends. What if i only want to achieve some more caramel lowlights to go into fall. I dont want to be that dark? And I do it at home?
Hello, I have level 9 & 10 hair i want a warmer dark blonde brown, how can I achieve that if every time I tone my hair it comes out purple grayish silver? Please help
Just watched this, thank you for doing such a great video
Thank you so much
What if you didn’t add a filler and have a funky greenish tint, how do you get to brown now?
Loved the video… so clear and understandable😊❤
Oh good I’m glad ! 🥰
that's an incredible & beautiful transition! You explained the process and steps you were doing very well. I'd really love to see a video of someone with bleached white hair (level 10) to fill the hair back matching their natural light silver roots, if it's possible!
Thank you for the suggestion! 🖤
Okay, I had over processed blonde at a level 7. I went back to a level 4 but ash brown which is a bit dull and washes out pretty fast to a level 6 constantly. I think the fill is the step I missed. Going to go look at a golden red to get more pigment in my base then add an ash overlay. Woot woot!
Tammy34 sounds like a plan!
Gorgeous result!!
Thank you! 😊
Love it. I’m planning on going back natural I bleached my hair and I’m just scared about the fill and all that
Nevaeh nothing to be scared of. You just putting pigment back in that was removed
It’s nerve-racking when you’re doing this by yourself. Especially when I have no experience.
Just do red then brown its that simple
OMG!This is great. I wish you have a salon in Edinburgh!My stylist did baleyage on my fine hair and it looked amazing first time round, second time wasnt to great. I asked him why my blonde looks a lot thinner than when I was brunette? He said it it the opposite as light will always look fuller and your transformation proves to me that not necessarily and that I am right seeing my hair looks a lot thinner. I think I will come back to brunette...
Agata Brodnicka brunette can usually appear shinier and healthier than lightened hair. It takes lots of TLC home care for blonde
I love watching your videos, you explain things of why you do this and that to get right colors. I have never use kenra color normally go to matrix or redken. I really love these colors.
Thank you so much! Kenra is a really easy brand to use! It's definitely fun using different brands.
It looks so healthy!!!!!!! I love it
Rebeca Diaz thank you ☺️
You are amazing!
I learned a lot thank you
Monica Flores thats awesome! Thank you for the feedback 🌸
Looks great.
looks great!
thank you!
Thanks very much your video!!!
Love your explanations!
Thank you so much!
What an absolute beautiful color you made. It looks very nice!! I love the warmth in it. I wish I could rock warmer colors too!
Krystel thank you ☺️
I don’t know why but I can’t shake the idea of wanting to create the natural undertone with the filler...for example, the regrowth was lightened by 2 levels which means to a level 6 with a natural undertone of red orange...based on this fact I would want to use a red orange filler, then apply 6bc and 6n demi...thus, duplicating the same undertone and tint as the regrowth...your formula looks great...my formula seems logical but please tell me why it’s wrong...lol
Beautiful job I love it👍
Aida vega Vega thank you 💜
What manner of sorcery is this?!
this is so helpful! thankyou!
my question is my hair is naturally dark dark brown almost black. Its bleached for foils to a light orange/yellow. And current foils are dark violet. Could you recommend a filler colour for my foils before I add the violet colour?
thankyou for the great video! best ive seen on youtube!
I'm not sure if you are asking to make the hair violet or that you want a toner for orange yellow highlights?
AWESOME!!!
It looks healthier then when it was blonde that’s why I want my brown main back I’m a natural level 4 and I’m at platinum blonde right now and fall is almost here and I’m getting ready for brown rich toned
Victor Rebollar brunette tends to appear shinier in the first place but you can totally have a healthy shiny blonde too!
Excellent job. It looks gorgeous. :)
L. Blanke thanks so much 🌸
You’re welcome :) 🌸♥️♥️♥️
Gorgeous! What if after doing the fill in, the customer wants an ash non reddish looking brown. Is that even possible?
J. C.R. Thank you.
Yes! Just change up your final shade to an ash formula. All other steps before are necessary 💜
This video is the best ive seen! I used Matrix Colour Sync 5N and 6M for final colour but it went a bit too dark. Can i make it a lighter brown? Plus i have quite a few greys, should i use a 20vol or 30vol developer as i only used 10vol?
Thank you!!! I would try a Malibu C product for safety shifting out toners. 🌸🖤🌸
You're a very good teacher. X
Thank you! 😃
Beautiful thank you 😊
Heather Truong thank you ☺️
Stunning
toni s thank you ☺️
Absolutely gorgeous 🤩love kenra colour options .. I’m just going to start using this line , can I order a kenra book which u have in this video please ? If so where could I purchase one ? Thanking u so much for your tuition Mirella 💖
Thank you. You can get a free book when you order an intro from your local distributor. Or you can contact Kenra directly.
Thanks for an awesome vid
Emily Dempsey thank you! 🌸
Hi I need help please! If I’m dying my blonde hair with a filler (matrix Demi 8cg) and then 5N & 6M for the color with 10v developer. & My regrowth hair is also a 4, what color should I use for my roots??? To make it an even color
You should be able to use the same final formula with the appropriate developer on the roots, then alter the same formula/devloper for the ends
Beautiful I love it
Molls thank you
thanks for the video! I have an appointment booked this week to get my hair dyed brown. Now I have also about 2 inch light brown regrow and really blond hair (last time bleached/did my hair in July and it is still healthy). My hairdresser told my, that she would dye the hair without filling it before and prevent turning it green with adding enough red pigments in the dye color. Would you recommend this process? It is not my usual hairdresser and I am a bit unsure. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your question. It’s really hard to know if you will need a filler or not with what you described. A general rule of thumb is to fill when you are going more than 2 levels darker than the blonde. If so, you could get away with a toner to deepen it but it will wash out quickly. Adding enough red to a color seems like skipping corners. But without seeing your hair, it may or may not be the best option.
If you are concerned, get a second opinion from another salon. If a filler is recommended then find a new stylist.
Excellent 🏆🥇💃🏼
Gorgeous result! Is it possible to do both processes in a single process?
You potentially could depending on the products used. I have used a "filler" formula before to create lowlights by applying my filler first, process, then wipe dry (no rinsing) and then apply my final shade right over it. Hope this makes sense. However single process, like 1 color....No. The color would fade drastiaclly and I explain that in the video as well.
I am a level 10 bleached blonde, I want to go vibrant copper/ginger and am curious how I should fill my blonde. I was thinking of using a demi golden/yellow blonde but am not sure if I that would work.
hi! im in the same problem currently too, did you ever figure out the solution?
so very helpful, thank you! question though, about how
much money did it cost the patient?
k i t t e n this was a double color service so I would charge the amount of 2 full color services.
Hi!! What an AMAZINGLY well done video!! I can't really see how I could possibly have a question for you, but you know one is coming!! Its my hair, so I feel I can't ever be too cautious!
I used the Splat kits that say to bleach the hair first then after it is washed and dried to add the brighter, desired color. It fades over time and I'm done with it. So I want darker hair again but not my natural color. So I bought Splat's Midnight Ruby (demipermanant/ 30 wash) and also Loreal Feria's Red Velvet.. From your video I understand this:
I can use the Splat and then use the Loreal and any more Splat I feel like using to add more brighter red tones -kinda like you did to her ends with the demipermanant?- and it should stay untill that hair all grows out or gets cut off or whatever happens tonor? It won't fade back to blonde or orange or pinkish anything? And also, where does the GREEN come from in this process?? What causes that to happen?!?! (I have a sick thirst for all knowledge and I ask a million questions.. Please forgive and indulge me!!)
Thank you so much for your video (super great stuff.. Most informative, not full of unneccessary babble, clearly explained video on how to do anything!! Love it!! Also thank you for your time.
Amy B Thanks so much for the awesome feedback. I honestly have no idea or knowledge about the color lines you mentioned. I’m very well versed in Kenra Color. Therefore I can’t give any advice on your processes. However, based on your hair being bleached out, I would suggest still filling your hair first and then finishing with your desired end result. I really wish I could be of more help. Good luck on your hair journey.
The way you explained everything so clearly 🙇🏻♀️ So according to the Kenra chart if I’m currently level 7n to 8n ombré and I want to be a 3n, I should add red orange tones? How do you know which level of red orange tones to add?
It’s not necessary to add red unless your end result is actually red. Sometimes when doing natural shades I simply fill with Orange a level lighter than the desired end result. In this case I would fill with 4GoldCopper or something similar, then use your final 3N shade
@@MirellaManelli thank you so much for the response, you have a new sub!
What products do you recommend after transitioning from blonde to brunette? Love this video!
Great question. I would suggest a balance of protein and moisture shampoo, conditioner, and mask. In salon Olaplex treatments or B3 treatments are great too!
Great job, Mirella! Thank you! Quick question here - if I need to fill in only highlights/balayage part before coloring darker brown, can I color all my hair with a filler color? Or should I separate and fill in only bleached stripes?
Judita Pank great question. I want to know this as well
Same i have blonde highlights im tired of them
Generally you can fill all the hair and then gloss over all with out it affecting the Virgin hair since demi does not lift. Hope this helps!
Hi, so what would you recommend if the filler wasn't used :(? Can I tone with a red based toner?
The point of the filler is to fill with primary colors lost during the lifting phase and finish with the desired level. If you don't use a filler, you can always tone about 2 levels darker over the hair with your desired color.
Can I use permanent color to fill the hair? I'm platinum and want to go back red and stay that way for a while so I figured permanent would be ok. I also have grey I'm trying to cover which is another reason I'm thinking permanent.
Meagan Marie I 95% of the time recommend permanent on virgin hair only. Demi on lightened hair.
What does the upkeep look like as the color starts to fade out? Do you have to repeat the whole process or would you skip the filling part?
You would skip the filling part. Probably a color touch up and a color re fresh for the ends.
lovely, isnt there a product that is actually sold as a filler and isnt that different than using a hair color to fill? the process is filling but I am needing clarification on exactly what products to use to fill. do you think the filler at Sallys is OK?
There are products that are sold as fillers but as a stylist everything is customized for the end result we are looking to achieve
My dyed red hair has faded to an orange/brown and I want to go back to my natural black colour, do you know what I should use to fill? :)
you might not need a filler. hard to say without seeing it.
Hi! Would the color fade because it's demi permanent?
I'm looking to do this to half top of my hair for that narcissa malfoy look, any tips to avoid it from bleeding to my bottom hair???
Great video 💓
Great question! All color fades. When deciding what type of color to use I always go back to the integrity of the hair. The only time I use permanent is when I need to lift natural virgin hair. If I am going darker generally I use Demi permanent. The last equally as long
I dyed my hair platinum blond and now i regret it and i wanna back brunette but i don’t want a very dark brow !? What should i do please?
I would follow the same process but change the tone for each the fill formula and final formula based on your desired end result.
Will the dark fade with each washing ? I’m constantly having low lights put into my hair. They always get lighter. Any tips ? Thanks
Becky B all color fades, so the short answer is yes. I would only recommend filling the hair if you are going darker than 3 or 4 levels darker for a lowlight. Some tips for color longevity is using the right shampoo/conditioner for your hair and styling with cooler settings. Hope this helps.
Mirella Manelli thank you
😍😍 amazing job!
carol___maia thank you so much 🌸
So I've got natural level 6 roots with most of the length a fairly compromised bleached level 9. I've done a standalone Olaplex treatment in preparation for recoloring. I want to do a 3N (dark neutral brown) but with a slight warmth in it. I've just filled with quite a vivid red Orange. Should I remove some of it and top up with gold before going ahead with the 3N demi? I really don't want to end up with very dark auburn hair! Thank you. X
So hard to give advice without seeing it, but I would try to gradually washout direct dye then move forward with gold filler, then 3N
I just made a video that I think pertains to tour situation ua-cam.com/video/GuGR50QxMeI/v-deo.html
My hair color is now a bleached yellow, gold, orange color and I want it back to my natural color which is about a 6. In this video her is is more an ash and some blue/green. Does the base color you have matter to achieve this similar color. If I don’t want copper do I remove it from the formula? I just want a natural brown result. Thanks
I think seeking the advice from a professional in person would be best so they can access your hair properly.
Can you fill with like a more plum color to get those undertones?
Plum lives closely to red, so I would fill with a red violet tone
Do you need to fill if your hair is a faded emerald green? Or can I just add brown on top
Yes, most definitely. It would need some red to balance
Thank you 🙏
Tigist Seleshi 💜💜💜
perfect
Thank you for this information. What if my client wouldn’t want to be so warm at the end? If she would prefer to be cooler color, what would you use? Thank you!
I would use a gold filler and apply my final shade with an ash shade.
Mirella Manelli thank you for replying, want to clear , so deposit gold and don’t add copper or red? Correct?
Elena Millsap it honestly depends too on what level you are trying to achieve but I would still add a tiny bit of copper if you are going from platinum. Basically your primary color in your fill formula should be gold and then add a ribbon of copper.for depth.
Mirella Manelli Thank you! 💕
This video is so helpful thank you for uploading!! , I do have one question that I can’t seem too find the answer. I want to go to a blonde to a golden brown but still have some highlights is that possible and if so how ? Thank you 🙏
My blonde is like a level 8-9
And I’m trying to get like caramel highlights
Lizz Sierra I’m actually editing a tutorial for that! Hopefully it helps. But yes it is possible
So if I fill the hair like what u did , the dark color remains permanently on the bleached hair?
It doesn’t fade as quickly and appears more even.
This looks beautiful!! Can i ask for an estimate of how much time this process took and how much it would be for this client? I have a really similar hair situation and I would like to gauge price point and times :) Thanks!!
I would charge for two full color applications and a haircut. $255 at my salon Rebel Femme Salon
Beautiful
Emilya Kh thank you!
amazing 🤩😻
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job! This was a super helpful video!
Do you think that using a colour line that has a bit of ammonia within it but without peroxide will still be a decent fill product? Although I do love the colour line I use it is used as both Demi or permanent depending on the developer used. As such does have a small amount of ammonia in it.
Shawna
If the hair is compromised, then no, I would not recommend ammonia at all. Ammonia opens the cuticle further no matter the % amount. Peroxide (oxygen, conditioners, buffers) simply activates your color, therefore, the ammonia is formulated in the tube of color. This means that if you use even water with your color, it will activate it. Ammonia free is the way to go always with fragile hair.
Please can you state the name and code numbers of the pre pig colour
They are discontinued a year after making this video. You can achieve the same results using Demi
What happens if I just put red filler in my hair and than put brown over?
You will have brown hair with a red undertone.
I can’t. Get over how dark her hair came out with 6 and 7 levels .. mine would be glowing
hi mirella! for example if i went for a 6a (i dont remember the level hair from the video haha im just saying if i went for an ashy tone) would i get a neutral \ natural level 6? im looking for the best option to fet the ashiest hair possible on me
YES! because it would cool out the copper tones. If the out come desired is ashy, then I would opt out of red pigment all together, and stay more on the gold/copper side.
@@MirellaManelli aaa rhabk you for this!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@MirellaManelli thank* and happy new year !
Can demi permanent color be used for platinum hair that won't hold color anymore
Kandi lc yes! Demi is perfect for that along with protein treatments
@@MirellaManelli ok Thank you!
Would like to see a bad highlight job filled and changed to a light ash cool brown!
Thank you for the suggestion.
Mirella Manelli I had a bad highlight job back in February........I went to Sally’s and got a warm brown filler, and a 5N Demi color by Ion.........it came out a nice med brown. It was a little darker than I wanted but it really took care of what I hated about my hair. It faded out to be pretty close to my natural color. I think some T14 toner on my hair will take care of the warmth I have and put it exactly where I want it.
What if I use a permanent on the red filler?
It depends on the integrity of the hair.
Can you please text the colors you use for the fill thanks
Just edited in the caption!
Thanks for the info!
What should I do if I already did the mistake and didn't fill the hair... And got a greenish finish ( on former highlights)...? How can it be fixed? Same process?
Karina Apel the same thing happened to me! I used red shampoo and conditioner and it came off in a couple of days
I would go through with the same steps that are explained in this video after your color application has faded out (usually with a few washes) Hope this helps.
I want my hair brown but not reddish brown
Do I need to fill if my dye is permanent?
you need to fill if you are going 2 levels or more darker.
Could you just mix them all and do it at the same time as the final formula
No. They are two separate processes.
@@MirellaManelli why can't you do them at the same time?
