This was mine several years ago and I loved it on me. I’ve since grown so much white hair I can’t do it any more. I love the color. I now use the EQ from the same Canadian store. It’s very good stuff.
Think we’ve had the same color journey. I am a licensed professional. As I age the blonde was washing me out and I’m back to my strawberry 🍓 and love it!
A color conditioner and a touch up with a color gloss in salon is mandatory with reds. Especially in the begging when going blonde to any shade of red. Demi color is wonderful and lasts as long as permanent minus the oxidation and not as damaging. Demi absolutely can cover white/ gray. The only thing it can’t to is lighten your hair, but great coverage. The box dyes are usually misused and people run it through to ends of hair, not just on roots every time which leads to the flat shoe polish look.
Great info! Love the copper on you. I embraced my natural grey quite a few years ago. I always coloured my hair auburn then when I started going grey I went blonde (my sister is a professional hairstylist, so I was lucky) then got fed up with colour and decided to to go grey and got my hair coloured a silver grey until my own colour grew out enough to stop colouring. I now have long silver grey curls and I get more compliments on my hair than I ever did as with another colour.
Your hair looks beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing all this very cool info with all of us . I’m a medium , ashy brunette and it’s so hard to find a color that doesn’t make my hair so dark even using light brown . I hate the fade as well . Gonna give Demi a whirl .
Michelle this was such a great video! Thank you for taking the time to share all that you have learned through your own journey. I am a dark brunette and did my own roots for the last several years and to break up that dyed look I would get baylage done. Two years ago I treated myself and got my roots done by my stylist and then never went back to doing it myself because with her it did look more natural. It.s just so time consuming and costly because I have to get it done every five weeks and honestly should be doing at four weeks. You may have just convinced me to try Shades!
PS I forgot to ask my favorite thing is I love that eye power whatever is on your eyes I'm going crazy for it What did you put on your eyeballs it's beautiful I love the sparkle I love the colors I love the base I love the lip stick I love the blush what do you have on
As I’ve been growing out my natural hair color with some sparkles, I’ve been using shades eq, so much nicer on my hair as it also has a bonder inside. Yes, it washes out after 3 weeks but that’s sort of the point. I’ll also add you can find a color chart online which shows you all the shades eq colors, super helpful.
Wow, i know this is an older video but i just found it, i am on the same journey! I am a natural level 6,, i like to keep mostly my natural color, but now have gray to cover. My hair is naturally more ashy, and i am very cool toned. Whenever i would get my color (salon or home) it would pull warm. This started creating issues for me also. Going too light washes me out..just all kinds of problems. I very recently tried demi....i was hesitant because of my grays and the idea that it doesnt last. I am stilll experimentimg because my first try came out too dark, but it does last, and didnt pull warm at all, and did cover my grays just fine. My hair felt so much better too. I just bought some clairol professional semi permanent at sallys and plan to make my own mask with it. This video is so great, with helpful information! I olan to try the redken EQ and find Rachel on tictok. Thank you so much! Your hair looks amazing! Very inspirational!
Hi Michelle. I’m a natural redhead aging and fading. I used to use Shades EQ in the salon and at home. Now that I have some white at my roots in places (redheads don’t get gray we get white) which color are YOU using for roots with the N? My rots are reddish leaning white with faded aged natural red. I need something to grab the white to help the red stay. I know you’re not a professional colorist but curious which N shade you use. Thank you.
I know that this is a hair video, but that iridescent eyeshadow is great! May i ask what it is please? Your hair looks so shiny! I have naturally wavy/curly hair and I have a hard time getting it to not frizz. The color is beautiful and youthful on you.
Oh my goodness I just went and had lowlights done of my natural hair color cause keeping it strawberry blonde was sooo expensive I can’t afford it anymore
Great question, I do roots and let sit on up to 40 minutes and run the copper through the rest of my hair the final 20 min. You certainly can do it a day or two later though ❤
@@maturemakeupmasterclassAre you mixing the two colors together or using the N on roots and copper on lengths? I see hairdressers using as many as four different colors but I’m never sure if they mix them or what.
Thx for the info! Ive used the Redken EQ 3N a few times with their developer & it doesn't do anything for my roots at all. It works beautiful everywhere else, but its like i did nothing in roots & i dont have a lot of them. Is it possible to use a 10 developer with the EQ instead of theirs?
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Yeah, it is permanent, but it's not like that box dye. It's professional what they use in the salons, so the colors come out absolutely beautiful and natural looking. As long as you're using a natural color and not a fashion color.
Hi Michelle! Love your content. I have been toying with doing my hair and warmer color. My hair actually tends to pull very warm between my natural, reddish undertones and my well water that’s loaded with iron. I was thinking of either the color that you were when you first went to the Ulta trip, or a strawberry blonde, but I’m not sure how to get there. Do you think using one of the I GK masks as a tester would work? Just to see how the tones look on me before committing to a color?
I was just watching the video more and the honey blonde is what I was looking at originally but then saw a pretty strawberry blonde. I also have dark roots. My normal hair color is a dark auburn, but it just faded to brown after I had children. I’ve been blonde for the last 14 years. I do it myself with L’Oreal Feria and honestly I get it to come out better than the salon has. Was thinking of ferria strawberry blonde, but I’m afraid to go over the blonde without knowing exactly what I’m doing.
Your lipstick always looks like it stays on. My lipstick never stays on. Frustrating. I think you showed a Merit lipstick that was really pretty. Is that long lasting?
Great video I am a white striper LOL So on the roots definitely you have to use 10 volume No doubt about it Otherwise it's not gonna do anything Believe me I have tried ,, I'm just about to try to do a strawberry blonde for fall I love red can shave cube and I also love love Joico... I get my products of But you have to But you have to remember that shades EQ Is a temporary color gloss, And depending on how long you leave it on this how long the washers you will get out of it I did the same thing with wella It's a potent color You can take any box color and just use 10 volume A lot of box colors come with 30 volume that's why you only leave it on 30 minutes 25 volume.. So a lot of times I'll get box color And use 10 volume instead of what's in the box But then for my ends Mid shaft to ends I use shades or joico Refresh my Right now my color is just Icky no color It was golden blonde but now it's washed out to just a no blonde1 of my favorite things to add to blondes is shade ss Papaya It's a great color to add If you want a hint a strawberry I'll mix 9G9GI And 09P PPP Which is papaya And it comes out to such And it comes out to such a great shade I'm always playing around it's never the same
Hair color is beautiful on you! I don't care for it that straight on you. I also think as you get older, the parted in the middle, straight hair, is a look more for the younger girls. Also, love the blouse with your hair color.
I dont look good with my hair parted on the side, even my family and friends prefer middle. My face is broad thru the middle so center part balances my face bettee
This was mine several years ago and I loved it on me. I’ve since grown so much white hair I can’t do it any more. I love the color. I now use the EQ from the same Canadian store. It’s very good stuff.

Love that!🎉❤
You look absolutely beautiful! I agree that your hair color looks high-end salon quality. I'm glad you found an affordable way to get these results.
Me too! Salons are so expensive, even more so since quarantine

I think silver is stunning. Im jealous of silver sisters! Mine is barely 20% gray so it will be a long time before Ill be 75%+ grey

Thankyou so much for this info, you look amazing!! Gonna try all this..Thankyou thankyou
You look beautiful. I was just talking about dyeing my own hair again. I feel myself going down another rabbit hole LOL
Take your time and do your research and you will find the right forumla ❤

Gem Lites “tourmaline”. It is perfect for between color appointments. I also have your hair color.

The eye shadow is Half Magic Blushing Lizard❤
@@maturemakeupmasterclass i really dig it. I just went to their website and they have some nice choices 👌
Oh my goodness I just went and had lowlights done of my natural hair color cause keeping it strawberry blonde was sooo expensive I can’t afford it anymore
Its a lot of work ❤
have you done a video on this makeup look????? LOVE
I have not! But I can soon ❤
The glossy shadow is beautiful 😍 please do a video
Great video! Do you put both colors in at the same time; or do you color new growth one day and all over color another day?
Great question, I do roots and let sit on up to 40 minutes and run the copper through the rest of my hair the final 20 min. You certainly can do it a day or two later though ❤
Thank you for answering! I’m a natural redhead but am starting to see a lot more white than I’m ready for. I’m going to give this a try!

I am very gray on top and absolutely have that line! Has anyone out there tried Demi over gray and had it cover? Thank you😊
Schwarzkopf igora professional color line has beautiful copper colors. That's what I use. 😊
That is gorgeous but I thought Igora was permanent
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Yeah, it is permanent, but it's not like that box dye. It's professional what they use in the salons, so the colors come out absolutely beautiful and natural looking. As long as you're using a natural color and not a fashion color.
Where do you get it?
@@maryanncornelio6853 on line. United hair supplies or other places also
@@maryanncornelio6853I believe you can get it at Sally’s

Try the gold IGK mask! I had lots of highlights too on the Ulta trip ❤
@@maturemakeupmasterclass ok I will! Thanks!
Michelle, do you think you could use the IGK mask on natural red hair?
Yes! ❤
The aqua color is a direct dye and CPR won’t touch it.
Your lipstick always looks like it stays on. My lipstick never stays on. Frustrating. I think you showed a Merit lipstick that was really pretty. Is that long lasting?

Extremely difficult to try to understand you. One long and ongoing sentence.
My hairdresser insists I use only PH balanced products because the others ruin your hair
Sounds like you are in good hands ❤
What is your natural color?
Hair color is beautiful on you! I don't care for it that straight on you. I also think as you get older, the parted in the middle, straight hair, is a look more for the younger girls. Also, love the blouse with your hair color.
