BEAUTY SCHOOL SERIES | 100% GREY COVERAGE ON RESISTANT HAIR 

This is bar far the best video I have ever watched on grey coverage. And sadly it’s the oldest by 6 years. None of the other RU-vid hair salon experts mention your technique of using volume 20 which blows my mind! Thank you, your advice is gold!

I just want to take the time to THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. My greys are so stubborn that my own hairdresser couldn't cover them for 4.5 + years. He would just put highlites in to blend them. As they greys started popping up more, the highlites were no longer satisfactory. I tried a whole bunch of professional double pigmented dyes and nothing worked! I told my hairdresser that I am fed up with these grey's and I am sooo close to just going to box dye. I was desperate! I mentioned this video, the advice that you gave and the technique. He immediately remember the technique from school from the 90's ( he mentioned that this teq. is no longer shared at cosmetology school, the new hairstylists at the salon never heard of this teq. either ) and went ahead and did it... IT WORKED. it's the only this that has worked. You saved me from going to box dye. Thanks you sm

Kind of sad that I’m learning more from your series then I am learning in the cosmetology school that I’m paying 20k for . Thanks for doing this

Thank you so much for taking the time to video and teach! I work solo and you have helped me so much! Please never quit making tutorials!!! God is using you!!!

Thank u this will help me put a smile on my poor mother in law who has low self esteem because her hair is white and she can never dye her hair with out it falling out in less than a week no matter who does her hair. I'm going in for round 2 with this developer technique. Wish me the best ppl I hope I can finally make her feel beutiful again. :')

I love that you share some of your best tips and tricks! I’ve learned so much from all of your videos and I always get excited when you put out a new video!

I absolutely love your videos, especially the beauty school series. I’m in beauty school now and have been watching your videos for a while! I’ve learned so much from them! Thank you!!! 💕

I have many older very white haired clients. I use Joico NG & NNG because they need the G or they will pull the base & they have no pigment in hair. I use 5 volume Paul Mitchell peroxide because it deposits more and doesn’t fade. I just go up a # on the color to keep from going dark. Put them under the dryer for 5 minutes plastic cap on color. Set for 20 more minutes Love Joico color it holds up so well .

I love the way you change the color of your grandmother's hair. I too I have stubborn Greys that won't cover. I see using a developer to bring your hair color up penetrates the shaft of the hair and one applying the actual dye to be absorbed into the hair follicle. I am not a beautician but my mom used to go to beauty school so thank you for your tutorial on stubborn hair.

Thank you so much for this beauty school series! We only really learn the basics from school and these videos help SO MUCH! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You and your grandma are so cute also 🥺❤

Love the developer trick! Who knew! Awesome channel. I’ve enjoyed it since the beginning of beauty school and now I have my license!

As a student about to get her license and enter the real world of hair these videos are so helpful! THANK YOU!

I am so thrilled I came across your video as I have to see my hair stylist once a month because of my stubborn grey roots. I am going to try this technique hoping it helps keep my hair color longer. I subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

Thank you for this video Jessi! I love it!

Please continue doing these school series I love them 💕

Thank you sooooooo much I started to do hair on my own , just graduated from school and I was nervous but I now have you!! 😂❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

Love the tips on pre softening and the 15mins to the developer you use!!! Might save me some time in the salon not having to leave on 45 minutes!!! Thanks❤

ive missed the beauty school series! loveee!

I’ve been so obsessed with your channel the past couple of days! I stay up late binge watching! My grandma is 100% grey when it grows out so this video is so helpful! Also i was wondering if you had a video on going from a balayage to highlights? And what rose gold color did you use on your hair lol? 💕 Thanks for sharing your knowledge! You have no idea how much i needed some inspiration!

So freakin' cute!! You guys look so much alike 💕 Beautiful work as always

I like to add about an inch line of the next darker color ( for example if I’m using 5NN, I’d add an inch of 4NN) and process with a cap so the heat of the head stays contained and really helps to cover and penetrate those annoying gray roots!

Jessi You did a Fantastic Job on your precious grandmother’s hair🤗🥰

love how the color turned out

Awesome video!’ As much as I pay my hairdresser I can’t believe I am doing the homework as to why my stubborn grays won’t hold color more that one wash 🤦‍♀️ I’m going to get her to try this developer method. Is the developer harmful to the scalp??

My trick is that I pre pigment stubborn grey around hairline with straight color, one shade lighter , because it will come out darker, kind of what nn is doing i gues adding more dye molecules. I use a liquid color which make it easier. I have heard of the peroxide idea but forgot about it thanks for the reminder. I have been doing hair 35 years I am so thankful for RU-vid where I can keep learning.

Every time I watch your videos I learn something!!! Thank you 💕

Quite impressive...results are incredible. Your Gram's appears to be an exceptional lady. Best MIG

Jessi, I was wondering what you like about the scruples bleach compared to the redken flash light bleach, as I know from your previous videos you seemed to really like flash lift. Thanks so much!

Your are amazing!! And make me want to start doing hair again!❤️

I understand her teachings very well, she breaks it down, good job

Looks great! Love!! Thank you! Keep em ' coming 🙂💫

Great tips! Love your videos and tech, I'm a licensed stylist and want to be more versatile w/ all hair types and you are helping me w/ that thanks!

What's your strategy for clients with 50% grey that only want blonde foils? Sometimes I use an 8 grey coverage and 30 volume and it doesn't lift enough depending on the color line, or just doing bleach will just result in white highlights. Thanks!

Your gma looks beautiful love her hair. I have stubborn greys myself can I use a 30 developer and do the same process to touch up my roots. I had been bottle blond for years. Thank you

Love. Omg. You are so cute with your grandma..I do my mom's hair. The 20v in the beginning is a great idea. Going to try.

Love the +15 minutes to developer trick!! I’ve never heard that before but it’s so true!!! Loving these back to school series!! 💖

I’m just learning color now in cosmo school and I didn’t know a thing about it before school so thanks for the great video it’s helped with what we are learning now about covering greys.

Whats the brand of the highlighting board you use in all your videos???

Very good. Thank you I’m nearly all grey so your tutorial help me so much. 🥰🥰🥰

Learned more here than I ever did in school, thanks!

would this work on hair thats not grey but just resistant? i'm a very ashy level 6/7 naturally but dye my hair a level 4 and my roots don't take the colour well and fade so quickly

Loved it❣

Would u recommend presoftening if they get perms?

Your grandma is adorable. I’m obsessed with your hair color Jess! 😍

How long do you leave the 20 vol to pre soften hair line, before adding the color?

I'm a level 10/11 light blonde with level 3 outgrowth mixed with about 30% of white/gray.. should I use a level 30 to lift then a level 20 an deposit a 10nn & some 10na? I pull pretty red.

What would you do for people who only have less than 100% gray say.. 25% gray would the same method and formula be involved or would it be different? I am trying to cover my moms greys and are in Cosmo school.. would love to hear from you thank you 😊🙏🏼❤️

Does this work with redkin color gels too? For ex applying the developer on

What is diffence in nn and na nb ? I have nb (same product) but didn’t know about nn.

Love this!!!

Love that tip about adding 15 minutes to the developer strength to determine processing time!

The girls rose gold is GORGEOUS...

Would love to see you do a video going from blonde to a fiery ginger, there doesn't seem to be many on RU-vid!

Awww, so cute. You and you're grandma look alike. Love that.

Wow I never knew that! Im salt & pepper grey but have a grey streak at the front! I’ve grown my colour out! But usually I used to go as blonde as 12/0. Im wanting 3 shades lighter can I use 40% on the grey streak or does it have to be 20%

If my client is still wanting to be blonde all over, would it be okay to just put a 9nn or 10n on her roots with 20 or 30 developer

Her hair turned out very pretty color. I did not know you could put highlights over color that is processing. I use 20 developer for my roots and 20 for highlights. Do you keep the highlight mixture at 20 volume when you do this type of process?

Looks great. If you ever use Redken color their processing time for any color is 45 mins. Doesn't matter what developer.

Can you use unmixed color ??

Would this work on African American hair ?

Have you tried putting highlights over level 5 or darker? I have and highlights turn out golden. So, I went back to highlighting first then coloring around them. Any tips?? Thank you!!

Could you do a Jessie James Decker inspired color???

I also use developer before I apply the dye in these cases but I apply 10vol. What's the difference if I apply 20vol like you? Also thanks for this video💞

THANKS FOR THE TIP.

If you place perm papers around the hairline after you apply the colour it helps the colour penetrate the gray hair 100%

I tried the developer into the Gray to soften.. Then added color mix. Nothing happened. Didn't work

Great job! Great video!

Great tip…will try ASAP

hello Jessi. Tell me please, after developer time, are you wash it developer and then you apply color /sorry for my English/???? Thank you and best regards

Doesn't the double pigment mean it depends on the hair texture?.....on other words, NN is right for course hair because of the density of the pigment, N on its own for finer hair....

I use the same techniques for my grey coverage!!!!😀👍🏻

Wonderful ! Great performance!

Wow !! Applying neat peroxide prior to the colour. Not seen this out of date technique in year !! Also not all grey is resistant it's normally thick, coarse hair textures that's resistant. Tbh I'm surprised at this post as you're work is normally on point 👌 I use Schwatzkopf or affinage now and never have a problem covering white hair or resistant

What would be the mixing measurment the 7na with the 6nn? Great video!

Love this video

If I’m doing a lowlight where I’m leaving some gray , how can I presoften the hair I’m foiling? She’s a natural level 4, 75% gray.

What type of extensions do you use? I'm wanting to get some. But am not sure what is best for my hair. It is on the thinner side and I do have some breakage around my face and the back of my head and I like to wear my hair up sometimes.

Girl, have you ever used Schwartzkopf? I haven't had grey coverage issues in YEARS. Also, wondering why you don't use the corresponding developers? I know a LOT of people go generic with developer, but the more I learn about the science behind color, the more I realize that all developers are not created equal. Thanks for the videos I enjoy checking out your techniques.

Very nice! Your grammy n you look alike! How sweet is that!!!!

Great video with good tips & advice :)

You and ur model so so pretty

But 20 volume is less strength peroxide at 6% than 30 volume which is 9% peroxide. Why would you leave the stronger one on longer? That would only serve to cause more damage, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense. To achieve the desired level of lift using both comparatively, you’d need to leave the weaker one on longer and the stronger one for a shorter amount of time because you’re also always trying to preserve the strength in the structure of the hair. I’m thinking you meant the other way around.

Hun, do you rinse out the 20v before applying color? Thanks!

Very good job.

I’m gonna do this today , to my mom hair , wish me luck !!!

pleaseeeee tell me what formula you used on YOUR hair! i’m obsessed

Q sweet El masagito a tu abuelita!!!:)

Omg i wish i would’ve known about those +15 min lol i rushed my mom at her 20 min mark and missed some grey on her hairline!!! 😩

If you were to use 30 vol for processing would you go ahead and presoften with 30 vol also? Or keep it at 20vol for the presoften?

Easiest trick!

When you pull through over the bleached highlights, if there was any length of her hair, "those" highlights would break. I dont agree with pulling it through at the end either....for the 10 minutes - as this weakens the highlighted baby strands and they will break. (45 years experienced as a Colorist)

A double dye load should have worked by itself. Especially on fine hair. Hmmm.

I just took Elaine Travis' color class...and she says this is a big No...

Easily ten years younger - I feel this way w my own hair, a good color and cut and you lose a few birthdays!

That song. I want to be told that I’m desperate. Thanks.

I learned that in beauty school and forgot all about it thanks for the reminder

Why the change in your youtube name??

Ulae

This is dangerous to apply straight developer. I learned from LisaLovesBalayage classes that you apply the color, NOT the developer. Developer chews up the cuticle when applied alone.
