Thank for providing me with the education in DIY blonde by very generously sharing your own personal experiences. I was blonde for many years, many years ago. I just went to the salon and never gave any thought to, or paid any attention to what my wonderful hairdresser did to get and keep my hair gorgeous. I've been dark brown now, my natural color, for about 10 years. My daughter's have been urging me to go back to a lighter color. After consistently watching you and a few others, I finally gained the confidence. It was a journey as well. Not perfection at first attempt. Now my hair is blonder and more flattering than I ever expected. Thank you beautiful blonde, smart girl!
The worse part about my processed damaged platinum blonde hair is that regardless of whether I try to use a toner, semi permanent, or permanent hair color, none of them stays in my hair past a couple of washings anyway, so it's like a big waste of time and money on my hair to put anything on it right now with it being so porous. LOL about the only thing that did really latch on and decide to remain in my hair was the green color from using 100% pure virgin olive oil, (which I had no clue it could do that , lol until it did), so if you guys, or gals have platinum or light colored porous hair you probably will need to make sure you are using white or clear products/oils only, I recommend you do NOT use the 100% virgin oil straight out of the bottle to moisturize your hair, and I've even stopped using the Yellow oils like castor oil, or those with the light brownish tones like pure Argon Oil, or anything with any color to it at all. (whether they are mixed with other oils, conditioners, etc. or not because I don't want to risk transferring those tones into my hair). So now I use a good sulfate free shampoo weekly on my hair-(or use a good co-wash and no shampoo at all depending on the circumstance of what my hair looks and feels like). I use a clear clarifying shampoo as needed (but no more than weekly) for product build up, purple shampoo for 5 mins or less on my hair to remove brass (but no more often than 1x per week), I use a good conditioner in the shower, I use a good restorative leave in conditioner daily with No protein in it because my curly 3b hair doesn't seem to like many protein based products used in it along with a daily application of coconut oil only for moisture, and then I'm doing a weekly deep conditioning masque (prior to my weekly shampoo) with a white protein based product, followed by a good 5-10 minute deep moisturizing conditioner afterwards, and will decide at the end of the 6 week mark whether I need to repeat my Apogee 2 step protein treatment or not. This is my current routine, at least until I can get my hair's porosity issues straightened out some, get my hair's protein/moisture balance back in check, and get my hair back in better condition. So far this seems to be working pretty good, but had I know that going platinum blonde would have been such a PITA I would have stayed a brunette lol.
Olaplex is a product that you add to lightener. It does miracle for very damaged hair. My hair has actually held color much better than it use to since using it😁 Hope this helps!
Hairdresser just told me today my hair is very porous.. it makes sense now when researching, why I can NEVER leave toner on my hair longer than a few seconds without bad results.. literally I put it on and rinse immediately to get my favorite color! Also it takes ALL day to air dry which I never do anymore. Learning so much!! Thank you
Good advice. I have bleached hair and I never understood why toner/purple conditioner turned my hair straight up purple instead of toning even though I followed the instructions
Hello I have a question for you Jessgirl I toned my hair twice a week apart each because my hair was very orange from bleached Balayage Can I use hair color on top of toning it or should I wait to color a while first? Thank You for your very informative videos! I love them
I've subscribed after watching your first video about damaged hair and I can see that you've done a great work because your hair look amazing now comparing to the first video. Good job and congrats with a wonderful result!
Amazing video! What do you suggest for a very light blonde that went red and the red washes out no matter what on the ends?! Please help..nothing is staying on the ends.
Hi Jess! I need your help! I recently got a hair color extraction to remove black dye and my hair turned orange, with several procedures i've gotten my hair to a golden but kinda brassy color, i went to the salon 2 times to get it toned to make it look like a natural ashy blond but nothing happens! The toner stays for like 2 days and it goes away, my natural hair color is medium-ash light brown and I have the shatush-balayage procedure to make it look that it's fading from my natural hair color to blond, the problem is that my hair got to a decent gold-ashy tone but my roots are still orange! What can I do? I was seconds away to get the ion color brilliance products but i've never dyed or toned my hair by myself and I didn't know which shades are right for me, also I don't want to keep damaging my hair :( what would you recommend? I'm desperate! Thank you!!!
I Found your video really useful now as I accidentally bleached the top 10 cm of my hair to platinum blonde while the bottom stayed level 8 after having some black put on it by my former hairdresser several months ago( horror story). Your suggestion to go with the darker shade on top and lighter at the bottom was something I was considering but I was afraid it could come out uneven with a clean line of demarcation. Now I feel a bit more confident
Hello , I love your hair color , I have blonde hair also but with the time my hair looses that nice blonde color and starting to look dirty blonde color kinda like white bc I use purple shampoo and it takes the color away with the time , I would like to know what number from ion brand color or any brand from Sally’s would you recommend me for retouch the blonde color to give color again thank you
My hair was light yellow blonde with few golden parts and light golden roots. The t18 toner turned some parta like silver and the roots didnt change and the rest of my hair seems went darker ?
Constantly maintaining platinum blonde hair, you’re always going to damage and have damaged hair....no matter what you do to prevent it (condition masks, treatments, etc)
hi my hair is extremely damaged from toning like it’s stretchy when it’s wet, i can’t leave it yellow though.. when i tone it should i use 10 or 20 developer? or and how should i go about toning my hair?
Not sure why I haven't subscribed to you in the past but I have found myself watching your videos about 5 times just searching for UA-cam videos about hair. I'm subscribed now!!!! It's like you read my mind lol
Your hair color is beautiful. LOL Yeah, that toner struggle is real. I worked for months to bleach my hair from a medium brown to a beautiful level 9-10. After trying several toners and it never looking right turning green, mudding my color out, etc. I decided to use Demi color on it as to not be constantly toning it so any processing damage could grow out. I picked a light neutral blonde, lol it turned medium brown, and also is still stuck in the back section of my hair-(I've tried everything except bleaching again to get it out but it isn't budging and most color removers won't remove Demi). Staying a medium brown to begin with would have saved me a ton of work, a ton of bleach damaged hair, and a ton of money considering I ended up right back where I started anyway 🙄
I have some areas of my bleach hair, level 9 won't take toner or goes on uneven. Protien filler on hair didn't work, same uneven hair.I treated my hair with the best products, example olaplex system, protein, mask. Try to heal my porous hair, barely breakage. This time I am going to use protein filler in hair before toning and add protein filler to toner. Hope it work. Or tint hair with Kersacolor. What do you think protein filler on hair before and add protein filler in toner too.
Dyed my hair light neutral brown recently after lightening it all last year, top half of my head turned light neutral brown, bottom half turned black. She's totally right about that and I didn't even realize it when it happened to me. Next time I have to buy two different colors lmao
Can you use this before highlighting? I highlight on dry hair so can this work? Is it worth using it after a highlight just for moisture purposes? Im so confused about this product. I only highlight so Im really wanting to use this In my routine. I never need to tone so maybe this product isnt for me. I hve a full bottle so trying to utalize it. I do have porize hair....
I would love to know what shades eq toner I should use to get your shade in this video? I am already a level 10. Thank you, been watching you for awhile and so proud of what you've been able to accomplish with your hair! :-)
I finally did take the plunge, and my hair it still quite orange on the bottom where I had black non virgin color. Top hair is pretty blonde. (Funny story, I tried to tone my hair with T15 as I confused it with T14 from your video, and it turned my hair DARK brown. At which point I decided to bleach again. Should I continue with Titanium dye to tone (whilst my hair is repairing itself. It's damaged) or can I get a Colorsilk box or Demi Satin Blond from your video. My hair is 8 (ish) and 9 and 10, very patchy results due to hair being previously dyed black.
I did re-do it! Thank you :) My roots grew in again, so I did the same process again with the bleach and t10. It's just faded here, always turns more golden after a few washes haha
Thanks to your advice, I decided to give up on the toning of my brassy half brown/half blonde hair (w/ the Ion titanium on the brown - chickened out) and just bleach and tone my entire head. Turned out great with T14 and T18 mix. Very inspirational. Thank you again!
+somegirljess thanks for replying ! that golden color looks really good on you! thats what im trying to achieve but my hair is def porous...its bleached.pretty light blonde with dark roots..i tried to tone with a golden beige toner from wella but like you said because my hair is so porous is turned greyish purple...i cried !! lol thank god the toners from wella wash off...what would you recommend for me to get a golden color close to what you have? a hair dye??
+melibear0807 I would use a gel or cream Demi permanent. Maybe try Ion Color Brilliance Demi Permanent in something such as 9NG (neutral gold). This range of Ion Demi permanent dyes also carry a "clear", which is amazing for diluting the 9NG (or whatever shade you chose in that range) for your porous ends :) .. Just make sure you don't put this on your dark roots, only the previously lightened blonde. And of course if your hair isn't a level 9 blonde, you could choose the level 8 or whatever :) good luck xo
PLEASE advice! My hair is patchy, basically the color I need to tone (pale yellow). PROBLEM the patches on my scalp are SO badly damaged in 2 places....I actually cut a small portion from the top! I saw irreversible damage. I used peroxide & then peroxide & baking soda & wasn't aware my hair could be stripped of all color & turned to mush. It is in only 2 pretty small places, but too much to cut at the roots!!!! Then I have to even it somehow! The ends are healthy & darker going up pale blonde to white on the scalp. I have been deep conditioning...but it isn't affecting the white patches. My hair is now dry from washing....but very wet in the white roots area. Only good news is I can go with any color. (Natural). Naturally white blond got darker in my teens, but I can go warm or cool. That doesn't seem helpful right now :( I'm not lightening the hair anymore right now. Trying to preserve the health at the cost of color.
Hi, I have a question if anyone gets a chance xxx I have dark brown hair, I've bleached it twice and done one bleach wash in 3 days. I initially bleached twice in a day (30 vol) and toned with wella t18 (20 vol). The t18 did nothing to my hair so I thought, although it looked yellow more than orange, I should try a different toner. I combined t10 w t18 expecting to get a more platinum color. This for some reason turned my hair more orange!! I then bleach washed to minimize damage and just toned with t14. It's a little better but still quite brassy! I've toned 3 times and at this point I think my hair just needs a break? Before this I've never ever dyed my hair before. It's like you said, it doesn't seem to be taking anything really. Also I've left purple shampoo on for 45 mins to an hour twice and didn't notice a difference w that either. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance💌
lil munda i don’t know the answer for sure but my guess is that your hair isn’t light enough for those wella toners. It can’t just be yellow - your hair has to be like pale pastel yellow in order for t10 or t18 to work. I would recommend using a demi permanent colour with 10 volume developer in a level 8 or 9 beige blonde shade. It will have minimal damage and will cover the brass better
what color of light blonde would be best for skin with pink undertones and green eyes and also I'm super white like maybe two shades darker than you but still really white
I really like pale pearly shades (somewhere between natural and silvery) on fair, cool-toned skin. I feel like the brand Ion from Sally's has a good one...demi permanent...I feel like it's 9NV or something. That line also carries a clear demi permanent that you can use to dilute the 9NV if you want to make it less intense. But if you want something like my colour, I'd try something like 9NG (neutral gold). I use Wella T10 to tone my hair, but it always fades to this neutral/golden shade :)
+somegirljess what does demi permanent mean? I'll have to look for that one and give it a go. I've never used any NV colors I always just got for a plain N. the V is for violet right?
Do you know whst could be going on with my hair. I bleached it, I've bleached it for almost 20 yrs now lol, I just recently noticed that when I go to use toners, that have always worked well btw) I cannot get rid of the yellow, stubborn yellow I guess. I've used t18 first, few days later used t14 with a bit of 050 added, they both toned it but there's still a bit of yellow and I DO NOT understand bc I've never had this issue before. I even used the purple shampoo on it dry and left it for over a hr, took it off and looked like I hadn't done anything to it 😣😣😣😣 I'm at a loss, I don't know why it's not responding. I've never had this issue
Lacey Heisler it could be a bunch of different reasons...my best guesses would be 1) it’s not light enough. Yellow is more stubborn when it’s a brighter or darker yellow, vs. Pale pastel yellow. Or 2) your hair is so damaged that can’t “take” colour anymore - that has happened to me. Even when my hair didn’t look awfully damaged, it still wouldn’t absorb anything because it was so weak it couldn’t hold anything.
Lmao my hair turned out super brassy and just not what I wanted so I was going to go over it with a darker brown, my hair is already super damaged should I use the 20 vol developer that came with the dye? Lol sorry for the super long question
If it’s a patchy brassy/brown try doing a bleach bath to get it a bit more even before dying it dark. 20Vol should be perfect for that, I recommend that you add in a bond builder when you mix up the color
I recently bleached and toned my hair it looks really good right now but I was wondering how often I would have to tone it to keep it a really light ash blond?
Lexi Calli I would suggest a semi permanent red, they tend not to affect porous hair as much. Manic panic would be an example. You could get orange, yellow and red bottle s and mix the perfect red colour to apply on top. Of course this won't get rid of you brown underneath, so the outcome will be a red/brown mix. If you don't want brown hair anymore, then I would use a red hair dye that is meant to be used on dark hair (L'Oréal has some I think). Those dyes are high lift so they would lift some brown out. I think in either case, the red wouldn't affect the porous hair much since. Always try a test strand to make sure you like it first :)
Lexi Calli just wanted to add: if you use the semi permanent option, you could add a little conditioner to your mixture just for the ends or the porous parts
Nadd Gehtdichnixan it's no secret :) just go through my videos to see what toners I've used and when :) - this is wella t10 and if you look at a few videos before this one, you can watch me do it 😊😊
I have very porus hair from previous bleaching. I used manic panic and joico titanium a week apart each to tone down reddish orange hair. It did work. However I would like to color it a bit more golden ashy blonde. My question to you is can I color it after toning or should I wait for toner to wash out first before coloring. What do you suggest??
I never done bleach my hair at home.. i just color my hair without bleach. But now I wanted to do balayage please explain each and everything in details.. show us all the products what we need
I love your tips, although I'm not trying to lighten my hair yet.. I wanted your opinion : I'm trying to go darker for almost a year now, but my hair is SO porous that won't hold any, and i mean ANY dark hair dye, not box dye, nor professional dyes at hair saloons! My hair is not that damaged, but it won't hold the damn color, ever after 3-4 brown dyes i've tried! I also forgot to mention that my natural hair color is some kind of dirty blonde. Pleeease give me a tip, I really want the dye to stay for more than 3 weeks(that's the maximum it has stayed on my hair). Fun fact, I've never had visible roots 😂 Although I'm really interested in trying that porosity equalizer you mentioned! Thanks in advance!
Έλλη Πόλιου it's interesting that your hair is porous without the damage! My experiences with porosity have always been because of over-bleaching. But I wonder if something like henna dye would hold? Or just Something that is more like a stain, instead of something that has to penetrate the hair shaft (permanent dyes). Semi permanent hair colours can last depending on brand - manic panic and punky colour for example are semi permanents that stain the outside of the hair and last pretty long. Although I'm not sure they have any natural or brown shades. I wonder if the brand Ion from Sally's has any more natural shades that are semi permanent. So yeah, I'd look into henna, semi permanents, and also just demi permanents - demi permanents use 10 volume or less developer (I think you can even buy 5 vol from the brand blond brilliance) - with 10 volume developer or lower, the dye doesn't have to penetrate the hair shaft as much so it might hold better as its more of a stain. I'd also recommend making sure hair is super clean and dry when you colour your hair - like wash it that day and don't use conditioner. Hope this helps!!
somegirljess Thank you so much for your answer! Maybe that staining thing will work, i don't know, but I'm sure i will try it out since nothing else stays put... As about henna, i've heard that once you go with it, you can't go back to usual hair dyes because it can cause serious damage.. Although I'm not so sure i actually believe it...
Thank you but I have to confess that it's not this shiny in real life! Somehow the dark room + the bright ring light made it look really shiny...not complaining tho haha ☺️ and no I don't have an updated hair care routine lately, but soon!
Always keep fanciful toners on hand. When i bleach hard sometimes my hair wont accept a toner. I’ve even used chocolate kiss & got a good ash color. Never panic, there’s always an answer. Baby powder also helps when your hair won’t tone. Be calm, put on a good conditioner & a wide headband, wait a day or two & your hair will calm down & take the toner. Mrs Z
Maybe use conditioner on the ends if you're using a non peroxide based colour like Manic Panic but never do this if you're actually colouring your hair, the conditioner creates a barrier so the colour will not take to the ends at all.. So if you're bleaching or going darker you'll end up with ends that haven't taken enough colour in. Just don't leave the colour on the ends as long because being porus it'll suck it up much quicker (put a toner on roots and mid lengths for 25 minutes and ends for 5) Make sense?
I believe she is talking about when the hair is so porous that it soaks up even purple shampoo in literally a second, giving the appearance of hair being dip-dyed a fantasy shade because of how strongly it held on to the color. In this case conditioner is absolutely acceptable to be used as a buffing agent. If the hair is as porous as in this example Riah it will still take sufficiently.
+somegirljess it's not nice to not tell us what toner you used on your hair for that video your a guru so don't be so cruel to your subscribers please ☹️
Nadd Gehtdichnixan lol I'm not withholding any information! 😝I just have a full time job so I don't always have a chance to answer every comment. I film all my at-home hair colouring, so if you just looked a few videos before this one, you'd see a video of me bleaching my roots and Toning with wella t10 😊😊😊 !
Sandy Qammaz it's wella t10! I film all my hair colouring adventures so if you look just a few videos before this one, you'll see a video of me bleaching and Toning my hair :)
Nadd Gehtdichnixan lol I'm not withholding any information! 😝I just have a full time job so I don't always have a chance to answer every comment very quickly. I film all my at hair colouring videos so if you just looked a few videos before this one, you'd see a video of me bleaching my roots and Toning with wella t10 😊😊😊
Thank you but I have to confess that it's honestly just the combination of lighting that makes it look this shiny haha. But it's definitely more shiny than it was in videos from a year ago when my hair was really damaged. ☺️☺️
TheElfin24 thanks! My natural is a dark blonde. But it looks soooo dark when my roots start growing in haha because it's just dark in comparison with the really light blonde
The actual definition of the porosity of hair is how well moisture (water, oils, and natural oils) flow in and out of the outer layer of your hair. Porous hair has open cuticles which release the natural healthy oils out soon after they are produced. ***Not trying to say your description was wrong, just giving a more clear definition for less educated hair gurus.😁
Girl, you keep saying you're not a professional - but you ought to be. You'd be a celeb stylist - you already have a huge following. People are willing to pay a little more to not pay to get their hair screwed up (which is why I am watching your tips.) Get your license and I will fly in to sit in your chair from California!
A LOT of incorrect information about high porosity hair in this video. Some of the things mentioned are actually the complete opposite of how high porosity hair behaves. Your hair looks very nice and healthy though!
frenchryah Oh, that’s not what I meant at all. I meant that there is no other reason for hair holding water - so when hair is very thick, hair tends to hold a lot of water and take a long time to dry. But when hair is thin, there’s no reason for it to take forever to dry unless it’s porous. So when I said “and I don’t mean if you have thick hair - I mean if you have thin or normal hair” - I meant hair types that have no reason to hold water/moisture. I should have said “medium thickness or thin” - not thin/normal!
somegirljess I love that you fully go over everything and don't think you talk too much at all. You are my hair savior. thanks so much for your videos!!
Ginger Espinoza don’t watch her videos if she talks to much. She explaining to people how to maintain their blonde hair. Keep up the good work Jess!! 👏🏻
Your hair looks amazing!! Such a glossy clean blonde! Gorgeous!! Xx

A protien filler is needed if your hair is pourous and your going darker so it grabs the color and not the undertone

Hello I have a question for you Jessgirl
I toned my hair twice a week apart each because my hair was very orange from bleached Balayage
Can I use hair color on top of toning it or should I wait to color a while first?

My hair was light yellow blonde with few golden parts and light golden roots. The t18 toner turned some parta like silver and the roots didnt change and the rest of my hair seems went darker ?
Thank you for creating this video. I guess my hair is damaged and porous because it takes forever to dry and it absorbs water a lot.
Constantly maintaining platinum blonde hair, you’re always going to damage and have damaged hair....no matter what you do to prevent it (condition masks, treatments, etc)
Please can someone tell me if I can use Wella Welloxon perfect pastel developer with the Wella colour charm toners T11 & T18?
hi my hair is extremely damaged from toning like it’s stretchy when it’s wet, i can’t leave it yellow though.. when i tone it should i use 10 or 20 developer? or and how should i go about toning my hair?
And what the best result I can get coz my hair is thick and yellow from the roots and white from the end
What color is your hair in this video? it’s amazing.
Not sure why I haven't subscribed to you in the past but I have found myself watching your videos about 5 times just searching for UA-cam videos about hair. I'm subscribed now!!!! It's like you read my mind lol
lauren biggerstaff hehehe thank you ❤️❤️😊 glad you joined
your videos are really helpful . keep on
I bleached my hair 2 weeks ago. Should I wash and condition it before I tone it? I haven’t washed it in 2 days.
Thank goodness I found this video before I buy a toner! Thx
what did you use to make your eyebrows so nice pls tell me
Your hair color is beautiful. LOL Yeah, that toner struggle is real. I worked for months to bleach my hair from a medium brown to a beautiful level 9-10. After trying several toners and it never looking right turning green, mudding my color out, etc. I decided to use Demi color on it as to not be constantly toning it so any processing damage could grow out. I picked a light neutral blonde, lol it turned medium brown, and also is still stuck in the back section of my hair-(I've tried everything except bleaching again to get it out but it isn't budging and most color removers won't remove Demi). Staying a medium brown to begin with would have saved me a ton of work, a ton of bleach damaged hair, and a ton of money considering I ended up right back where I started anyway 🙄
This was extremely helpful!
This video came at the perfect time for me! Love your videos so much xx
YOUR HAIR IS SOOOO GORGEOUS!!! Why there's no Sally's in Montreal... Can't find Wella toner in the city

I have some areas of my bleach hair, level 9 won't take toner or goes on uneven. Protien filler on hair didn't work, same uneven hair.I treated my hair with the best products, example olaplex system, protein, mask. Try to heal my porous hair, barely breakage. This time I am going to use protein filler in hair before toning and add protein filler to toner. Hope it work. Or tint hair with Kersacolor. What do you think protein filler on hair before and add protein filler in toner too.
You are such smart girl and beautiful as well, with a pleasant personality...I love your hair videos
love your hair!!!
If you ever change careers you SHOULD become a "pro"! These videos are so good.
does it do more damage to already damaged hair ?
Great tips, thanks!
Dyed my hair light neutral brown recently after lightening it all last year, top half of my head turned light neutral brown, bottom half turned black. She's totally right about that and I didn't even realize it when it happened to me. Next time I have to buy two different colors lmao
When did the black fade? It just happened to me and im devastated!
How did you do your brows to match your hair?
I just got done bleaching my roots and they must of got damaged because my roots really sucked up the color like bad
Can you use this before highlighting? I highlight on dry hair so can this work? Is it worth using it after a highlight just for moisture purposes? Im so confused about this product. I only highlight so Im really wanting to use this In my routine. I never need to tone so maybe this product isnt for me. I hve a full bottle so trying to utalize it. I do have porize hair....
I would love to know what shades eq toner I should use to get your shade in this video? I am already a level 10. Thank you, been watching you for awhile and so proud of what you've been able to accomplish with your hair! :-)
I want to know the same!
In shades, probably 9ng or 9nb or 9n, 10n.
I finally did take the plunge, and my hair it still quite orange on the bottom where I had black non virgin color. Top hair is pretty blonde. (Funny story, I tried to tone my hair with T15 as I confused it with T14 from your video, and it turned my hair DARK brown. At which point I decided to bleach again. Should I continue with Titanium dye to tone (whilst my hair is repairing itself. It's damaged) or can I get a Colorsilk box or Demi Satin Blond from your video. My hair is 8 (ish) and 9 and 10, very patchy results due to hair being previously dyed black.
You didn't have to bleach it again. Toner washes out eventually so it would have lightened by itself or if you just wash it with lemon juice.
really loving your hair color in this video! have you done anything different to it since your last video of bleaching roots and toning it??
I did re-do it! Thank you :) My roots grew in again, so I did the same process again with the bleach and t10. It's just faded here, always turns more golden after a few washes haha
Thanks to your advice, I decided to give up on the toning of my brassy half brown/half blonde hair (w/ the Ion titanium on the brown - chickened out) and just bleach and tone my entire head. Turned out great with T14 and T18 mix. Very inspirational. Thank you again!
+somegirljess thanks for replying ! that golden color looks really good on you! thats what im trying to achieve but my hair is def porous...its bleached.pretty light blonde with dark roots..i tried to tone with a golden beige toner from wella but like you said because my hair is so porous is turned greyish purple...i cried !! lol thank god the toners from wella wash off...what would you recommend for me to get a golden color close to what you have? a hair dye??
+melibear0807 I would use a gel or cream Demi permanent. Maybe try Ion Color Brilliance Demi Permanent in something such as 9NG (neutral gold). This range of Ion Demi permanent dyes also carry a "clear", which is amazing for diluting the 9NG (or whatever shade you chose in that range) for your porous ends :) .. Just make sure you don't put this on your dark roots, only the previously lightened blonde. And of course if your hair isn't a level 9 blonde, you could choose the level 8 or whatever :) good luck xo
You the fucking mvp for telling what time the tips start.
Kenra has a great porosity equalizer as well as Oligo. Do a protein treatment first
PLEASE advice! My hair is patchy, basically the color I need to tone (pale yellow).
PROBLEM the patches on my scalp are SO badly damaged in 2 places....I actually cut a small portion from the top! I saw irreversible damage.
I used peroxide & then peroxide & baking soda & wasn't aware my hair could be stripped of all color & turned to mush.
It is in only 2 pretty small places, but too much to cut at the roots!!!!
Then I have to even it somehow! The ends are healthy & darker going up pale blonde to white on the scalp.
I have been deep conditioning...but it isn't affecting the white patches.
My hair is now dry from washing....but very wet in the white roots area.
Only good news is I can go with any color. (Natural). Naturally white blond got darker in my teens, but I can go warm or cool. That doesn't seem helpful right now :(
I'm not lightening the hair anymore right now. Trying to preserve the health at the cost of color.
December Leigh please use Redken extreme mega mask on your hair for about 30 minutes. It will help your from breakage.
@@katherinecan Thank you! I will. It's much healthier now because I don't use heat, but I need a good hair mask repair conditioner♥️
Soooooooo helpful! Thank you!!
How do you dilute the toner? Do you add water or more developer or do you just make your hair more wet?
Up!
Why aren’t you owning your own damn salon right now! Girl you are AMAZING!
What color toner do you have in this video
What toner is on your hair in this video
also right now im at 9n if that helps any but I'd love to be at your color.
Hi, I have a question if anyone gets a chance xxx I have dark brown hair, I've bleached it twice and done one bleach wash in 3 days. I initially bleached twice in a day (30 vol) and toned with wella t18 (20 vol). The t18 did nothing to my hair so I thought, although it looked yellow more than orange, I should try a different toner. I combined t10 w t18 expecting to get a more platinum color. This for some reason turned my hair more orange!! I then bleach washed to minimize damage and just toned with t14. It's a little better but still quite brassy! I've toned 3 times and at this point I think my hair just needs a break? Before this I've never ever dyed my hair before. It's like you said, it doesn't seem to be taking anything really. Also I've left purple shampoo on for 45 mins to an hour twice and didn't notice a difference w that either. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance💌
lil munda i don’t know the answer for sure but my guess is that your hair isn’t light enough for those wella toners. It can’t just be yellow - your hair has to be like pale pastel yellow in order for t10 or t18 to work. I would recommend using a demi permanent colour with 10 volume developer in a level 8 or 9 beige blonde shade. It will have minimal damage and will cover the brass better
Try Redken shades eq 9v 9p 9n with the special gloss developer all equal parts. Good Luck!!🍀
Great tips thx! 🙌
Four years later. Still solid advice.
what color of light blonde would be best for skin with pink undertones and green eyes and also I'm super white like maybe two shades darker than you but still really white
I really like pale pearly shades (somewhere between natural and silvery) on fair, cool-toned skin. I feel like the brand Ion from Sally's has a good one...demi permanent...I feel like it's 9NV or something. That line also carries a clear demi permanent that you can use to dilute the 9NV if you want to make it less intense. But if you want something like my colour, I'd try something like 9NG (neutral gold). I use Wella T10 to tone my hair, but it always fades to this neutral/golden shade :)
+somegirljess what does demi permanent mean? I'll have to look for that one and give it a go. I've never used any NV colors I always just got for a plain N. the V is for violet right?
Wella T18 turned my porous ends GREEN!!!! so sad
Do you know whst could be going on with my hair. I bleached it, I've bleached it for almost 20 yrs now lol, I just recently noticed that when I go to use toners, that have always worked well btw) I cannot get rid of the yellow, stubborn yellow I guess. I've used t18 first, few days later used t14 with a bit of 050 added, they both toned it but there's still a bit of yellow and I DO NOT understand bc I've never had this issue before. I even used the purple shampoo on it dry and left it for over a hr, took it off and looked like I hadn't done anything to it 😣😣😣😣 I'm at a loss, I don't know why it's not responding. I've never had this issue
Lacey Heisler it could be a bunch of different reasons...my best guesses would be 1) it’s not light enough. Yellow is more stubborn when it’s a brighter or darker yellow, vs. Pale pastel yellow. Or 2) your hair is so damaged that can’t “take” colour anymore - that has happened to me. Even when my hair didn’t look awfully damaged, it still wouldn’t absorb anything because it was so weak it couldn’t hold anything.
Naturally darkest brown hair with a couple different patches that alternate fine easy to lift with course stubborn. Damnit all!
Love the color that’s how I want mine
I love your personality. You're just so sweet and cute. I should have subscribed a long time ago.
Beautiful shinny hair.
I only leave my toner on for 5 minutes too!
Lmao my hair turned out super brassy and just not what I wanted so I was going to go over it with a darker brown, my hair is already super damaged should I use the 20 vol developer that came with the dye? Lol sorry for the super long question
If it’s a patchy brassy/brown try doing a bleach bath to get it a bit more even before dying it dark. 20Vol should be perfect for that, I recommend that you add in a bond builder when you mix up the color
I recently bleached and toned my hair it looks really good right now but I was wondering how often I would have to tone it to keep it a really light ash blond?
Steven it will fade in a couple weeks if you wash your hair often. But I would recommend toning hair every 4-6 weeks just to minimize the damage :)
I have medium brown hair right now, it's porous not badly but its defiently porous. I want to put red over the brown, anything special I should do?
Lexi Calli I would suggest a semi permanent red, they tend not to affect porous hair as much. Manic panic would be an example. You could get orange, yellow and red bottle s and mix the perfect red colour to apply on top. Of course this won't get rid of you brown underneath, so the outcome will be a red/brown mix. If you don't want brown hair anymore, then I would use a red hair dye that is meant to be used on dark hair (L'Oréal has some I think). Those dyes are high lift so they would lift some brown out. I think in either case, the red wouldn't affect the porous hair much since. Always try a test strand to make sure you like it first :)
Lexi Calli just wanted to add: if you use the semi permanent option, you could add a little conditioner to your mixture just for the ends or the porous parts
Thank you so much!!!
What toner did you use for this shade of blonde? It's perfection!! :)
She does not want to share the shade it seems 😏🙄
Nadd Gehtdichnixan it's no secret :) just go through my videos to see what toners I've used and when :) - this is wella t10 and if you look at a few videos before this one, you can watch me do it 😊😊
Nadd Gehtdichnixan **read her comment. She listed the brand and color.
Could I mix t10 wih t18?
I have very porus hair from previous bleaching. I used manic panic and joico titanium a week apart each to tone down reddish orange hair. It did work.
However I would like to color it a bit more golden ashy blonde. My question to you is can I color it after toning or should I wait for toner to wash out first before coloring.
What do you suggest??
Thank you!
I never done bleach my hair at home.. i just color my hair without bleach. But now I wanted to do balayage please explain each and everything in details.. show us all the products what we need
mehak khan I have a balayage video you can watch
My level 7wg went to a 4N somehow because my ends are POROUS
I love your tips, although I'm not trying to lighten my hair yet.. I wanted your opinion : I'm trying to go darker for almost a year now, but my hair is SO porous that won't hold any, and i mean ANY dark hair dye, not box dye, nor professional dyes at hair saloons! My hair is not that damaged, but it won't hold the damn color, ever after 3-4 brown dyes i've tried! I also forgot to mention that my natural hair color is some kind of dirty blonde. Pleeease give me a tip, I really want the dye to stay for more than 3 weeks(that's the maximum it has stayed on my hair). Fun fact, I've never had visible roots 😂 Although I'm really interested in trying that porosity equalizer you mentioned!
Thanks in advance!
Έλλη Πόλιου it's interesting that your hair is porous without the damage! My experiences with porosity have always been because of over-bleaching. But I wonder if something like henna dye would hold? Or just Something that is more like a stain, instead of something that has to penetrate the hair shaft (permanent dyes). Semi permanent hair colours can last depending on brand - manic panic and punky colour for example are semi permanents that stain the outside of the hair and last pretty long. Although I'm not sure they have any natural or brown shades. I wonder if the brand Ion from Sally's has any more natural shades that are semi permanent. So yeah, I'd look into henna, semi permanents, and also just demi permanents - demi permanents use 10 volume or less developer (I think you can even buy 5 vol from the brand blond brilliance) - with 10 volume developer or lower, the dye doesn't have to penetrate the hair shaft as much so it might hold better as its more of a stain. I'd also recommend making sure hair is super clean and dry when you colour your hair - like wash it that day and don't use conditioner. Hope this helps!!
somegirljess Thank you so much for your answer! Maybe that staining thing will work, i don't know, but I'm sure i will try it out since nothing else stays put... As about henna, i've heard that once you go with it, you can't go back to usual hair dyes because it can cause serious damage.. Although I'm not so sure i actually believe it...
your hair is so shiny and silky looking! do you have an updated hair care routine on ur channel?
Thank you but I have to confess that it's not this shiny in real life! Somehow the dark room + the bright ring light made it look really shiny...not complaining tho haha ☺️ and no I don't have an updated hair care routine lately, but soon!
Always keep fanciful toners on hand. When i bleach hard sometimes my hair wont accept a toner. I’ve even used chocolate kiss & got a good ash color. Never panic, there’s always an answer. Baby powder also helps when your hair won’t tone. Be calm, put on a good conditioner & a wide headband, wait a day or two & your hair will calm down & take the toner.

Do you use a color on your brows? The color is gorgeous, you have amazing brows.
I Just use a brow pencil :) I think this one was NYX micro brow in Taupe.
Maybe use conditioner on the ends if you're using a non peroxide based colour like Manic Panic but never do this if you're actually colouring your hair, the conditioner creates a barrier so the colour will not take to the ends at all.. So if you're bleaching or going darker you'll end up with ends that haven't taken enough colour in. Just don't leave the colour on the ends as long because being porus it'll suck it up much quicker (put a toner on roots and mid lengths for 25 minutes and ends for 5)
Make sense?
I believe she is talking about when the hair is so porous that it soaks up even purple shampoo in literally a second, giving the appearance of hair being dip-dyed a fantasy shade because of how strongly it held on to the color. In this case conditioner is absolutely acceptable to be used as a buffing agent. If the hair is as porous as in this example Riah it will still take sufficiently.
Which toner did you use for your hair in this video? If you can remember. 💙
L Richelle wella t11 !
somegirljess thank you for responding so fast! 🙂 I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks again!
somegirljess I see other of your comments saying t10, just curious which one is best thank you!
I also gave very porus hair
Not bad for a non-pro girl! ☺
What lightening powders do you suggest as the best?
AC my favourite one so far is from the brand Sparks. I got it online but I think it's sold in either Ulta or Target now if you're in the states
+somegirljess it's not nice to not tell us what toner you used on your hair for that video your a guru so don't be so cruel to your subscribers please ☹️
Nadd Gehtdichnixan lol I'm not withholding any information! 😝I just have a full time job so I don't always have a chance to answer every comment. I film all my at-home hair colouring, so if you just looked a few videos before this one, you'd see a video of me bleaching my roots and Toning with wella t10 😊😊😊 !
+somegirljess ok i am sorry I didn't knew that I subscribe you now 🙂thanks
no worries! welcome to my channel :)
Hi What ur hair color in this video its amazing 😍👍🏻
She won't tell us ....
Sandy Qammaz it's wella t10! I film all my hair colouring adventures so if you look just a few videos before this one, you'll see a video of me bleaching and Toning my hair :)
Nadd Gehtdichnixan lol I'm not withholding any information! 😝I just have a full time job so I don't always have a chance to answer every comment very quickly. I film all my at hair colouring videos so if you just looked a few videos before this one, you'd see a video of me bleaching my roots and Toning with wella t10 😊😊😊
How do you get your hair so shiny? 😍
Thank you but I have to confess that it's honestly just the combination of lighting that makes it look this shiny haha. But it's definitely more shiny than it was in videos from a year ago when my hair was really damaged. ☺️☺️
what is your natural hair colour Jess, love your colour atm xo
TheElfin24 thanks! My natural is a dark blonde. But it looks soooo dark when my roots start growing in haha because it's just dark in comparison with the really light blonde
The actual definition of the porosity of hair is how well moisture (water, oils, and natural oils) flow in and out of the outer layer of your hair. Porous hair has open cuticles which release the natural healthy oils out soon after they are produced. ***Not trying to say your description was wrong, just giving a more clear definition for less educated hair gurus.😁
Girl, you keep saying you're not a professional - but you ought to be. You'd be a celeb stylist - you already have a huge following. People are willing to pay a little more to not pay to get their hair screwed up (which is why I am watching your tips.) Get your license and I will fly in to sit in your chair from California!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Umm I want YOUR hair color.
A LOT of incorrect information about high porosity hair in this video. Some of the things mentioned are actually the complete opposite of how high porosity hair behaves. Your hair looks very nice and healthy though!
What information was incorrect that she gave?
Aboot!
I have tested many CBD oils. I think the CBD from Weedborn is the absolute best.
Thin hair= normal? Lol ok
frenchryah Oh, that’s not what I meant at all. I meant that there is no other reason for hair holding water - so when hair is very thick, hair tends to hold a lot of water and take a long time to dry. But when hair is thin, there’s no reason for it to take forever to dry unless it’s porous. So when I said “and I don’t mean if you have thick hair - I mean if you have thin or normal hair” - I meant hair types that have no reason to hold water/moisture. I should have said “medium thickness or thin” - not thin/normal!
talks too much....
Ginger Espinoza sometimes I can't help it if there's a lot of info To go through!
somegirljess I love that you fully go over everything and don't think you talk too much at all. You are my hair savior. thanks so much for your videos!!
Ginger Espinoza don’t watch her videos if she talks to much. She explaining to people how to maintain their blonde hair. Keep up the good work Jess!! 👏🏻
