Gray blending hair tutorial + silver shades eq formula! 

Your mother is a natural beauty.

My moms hair was just like your moms and I loved how you explained everything! Thank you so much! I started following you, can’t wait to see what else I can learn! Thanks!😊

My grandmother who was born in 1902 had Platinum white hair and she looked Gorgeous!!

Oh Lauren , you are so blessed to have a wonderful Mommma. I have been doing hair since the 80`s and i so miss doing my Mommma`s hair. She passed away long ago but your vid made me tear up and smile too. This may sound odd but last thing i could do for her was go to the mortuary and do her hair one last time and have that last and private goodbye with her . Many family members actually do that i was told when i asked if i could do it. I must say it brought a comfort to me and was helpful in my process of releasing my sweet and lovely Mother. So enjoy your Mom while you have her and we can see how much she is enjoying your craft and care, plus you fed her and cearly your fellow workers kind and love her too. Her hair looks beautiful! Bravo ! And I wrote down your pre tone and final toner colors and will be using them today on my friends white hair. Thank you Lauren

I use a silver direct dye as s layered seal to the silver snd it lasts longer. Mu go to is the Joico intensity one and Guy Tang’s Titanium Shield+ crystal clear. Waercolors silver shampoo is truly beautiful for upkeep between toning. It’s not too violet or too gray.

Amazing. Wonderful. Bravo. Looks great!

Gorgeous mom and hair color!

The color turned out gorgeous

❤. What a fantastic outcome.

You’re adorable! Beautiful work girl! ✨

Great job!!! Your mom is beautiful !

great job I love it!

You did a fabulous job!!!! And your moms as beautiful as her new locks are!!

Gorgeous. Great job & thanks for the information.

It turned out really nice, Redkin is a great product. I modeled for them back in the day.

Very pretty 😍 good job 👏

Looks great! It’s very hard to get lay-people to understand just how complex these services are. I’m impressed with how you customized your service specifically for her needs. Nice job.

Beautifully done

This was perfectly explained

This was great! I did this today and some of the pieces had a lavender tinge. I didn't do the last toner with the 9b formulation cause I figured it was too porous so will have her come back and do that one.

Looks Lovely!!!!!!!!!!

You did a great job! 👍

Beautiful job!

Great video! Thanks so much🥰

Thank you, I really needed this.

Looks awesome Lauren. Thanks so much for your videos. So glad to have just found your channel! So much valuable info. Your mom is beautiful. ✨

Thankyou so much-great helpful info x😄

Great video. Your mom's hair turned out beautifully! I'm on week 9 1/2 and just starting my journey. I'm waiting for it to grow out a bit more and then will see my stylist for blending.

Oh that was so pretty.

She is soooo far in the growing process. Plenty of hair, I'd just have cut off the color part! Lot of work for so little ends! Also ends are to fragile to even try to save!!!!

Thank you, great job!

Beautifully done, thank you for sharing! Actually it is possible to get great curls without applying any heat with BeautyFit Heatless Curls. This is a satin band to which 8 satin strips are attached. The strap is adjustable. You twist the damp hair around the satin strips. There is elastic at the end of the strips that you can use to secure your hair to the strip. Then you go to sleep and the next morning you unwind your hair from the strips. Tada, you have a full head of curls! If you have less willing hair, or want extra firm curls, spread a curl mousse or another product such as Osis Fiber gum through your hair. If you want to enjoy your curls extra long, don't use any products in your curls once they're done and tie a loose bun on top of your head before going to sleep. This way you can enjoy your curls for up to four days. If you don't have time to sleep and want instant curls, you can blowdry your hair wearing the BeautyFit Heatless Curls.

Brilliant work🥳🥳

Looks very nice

Nice work🎉🎉

Excellent ✨!!! I use those same toner shades. The only one I haven’t tried is the 9B Sterling. I love the color payout, longevity, and yes, high heat will fade it faster. I do like the shades they fade too though.

Looks great

What an incredible and beautiful job. You mom looks very beautiful!

Beautiful work Lauren. Thank you so much for sharing. Your mom is beautiful!!

so fun i learned stuff i never knew and yes.. youre mom is cool! thnaks for posting. kr

So cute I did my daughter hair and know how satisfied it's ❤😂😂

Beautiful!! I’m wondering when it’s time to tone again would you need to pre tone again, or just use the second formula?

Thank you so much for your videos. I always learn something new. I never thought of pre toning hair, it just makes so much sense.

You did an amazing job! The color is beautiful! My hair is very long and I've been growing it out for a little over 4 years. I still have a ways to go. I would be willing to cut some length if I thought I could get someone to get it to about the color of your Mom's. I really wish! You don't happen to live in TN do you? 😄

Loved this transition you did. I am on my silver journey and wanting to tone my hair to get rid of demarcation line. Can i skip the bleach and just use a color remover and go to toning straight?

Great Job!

Thank you for introducing “pre tone”. Never heard of it before.

So beautiful Blessings to you both 💜

Thank you ❤

Thanks for the tip about pretoning on silver hair! Did you pretone at the bowl on wet hair or did you dry it, pretone it, dry it and then color it again?

I really love this!! Your mom looks amazing and truly young in the face!! Beautiful job!! ❤❤

Hey honey, I have a question I have like salt and pepper hair was a little more white in the front. What product can I use on my hair that would brighten my white more without using a bleach? Thank you and I really did enjoy watching you do your mothers hair it was beautiful.😊

love your videos... That came out beautiful! Thanks for sharing!! Do you have videos how to do root touch up and highlights at the same time. Do you the color first then the highlights or the other way around.?

You NAILED IT !!! LOVE IT ❤

You’re so sweet.I’m doing the same for my mom right now as I go through the gray transition. K18 is a game changer. I don’t think I would be doing this otherwise as I am not a hairdresser by trade, but do know color and chemical reactions very well as a museum conservator and I’ve been coloring my hair since I was 16. You’re very sweet and I enjoyed this video very much 🤍

OMG that came out so beautiful I wish someone can do that to my hair 👍👍👍👍👍keep up the great work ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Beautiful, one question , did your time the whole hair or only the hair you bleached ??

Hi. Love this tutorial. Question, did you use the 10T and 9B all over after pre toning? I always worry if it’s a white gray it will darken too much. Your moms hair looks so good!

Very nice

I pre-toned with 10vv and it was so pigmented and went so violet! I had to soap cap it to get it out. I used 10T and will add the 9B next time too, because I wanted a silver and not a smokey gray.

So helpful! I would love to do this on a client of mine but she only has about 5 inches of outgrowth and rest is previous dark color.

Her ends are so fragile, proceeds to blow dry and hot curling iron them... 😢

A good ‘Wet Set’ will hold color and give a longer lasting style.

I'm a silver, ONLY air dry after the salon & do heatless styling

Looks so nice! Clients don't realize how long this process can take 😐 I Appreciate how real you are ❤️

First time I see your vids Your moms hair looks gorgeous! You did an amazing job blending it in! I let my gray hair grow out during covid, it was a painful process Was fortunate enough to find someone who did the same blending it in It was such a relief to finally let my hair be natural again, so much easier Was having to color my roots every 2-3 weeks because of the contrast, such a huge relief not having to do that ever again! Great video, you are very patient, and have a soothing way about you. Ill def return to watch more!

How 'bout sponge rollers for curling instead of curling iron? No heat, nice curls.

I have had my hair burgundy then purple and I'm pretty much gray I want to do it all grey silver I only have like 3 months of Grey new growth how do I do all the rest of my hair it seems like a lot of work and how much would that cost me please answer thank you so much💜

Absolutely loving this tutorial! Not that I would do it on myself, but you were very exact with explaining every single step! You were also very exact with letting us know what products you're using.

Looks so pretty!! Where are you located??

Thank you.

Which K18 product are you referring to? They have several. Is this something you use to protect the integrity of the hair while bleaching? If so, what's it called? Thank you.

Mom is beautiful and you helped💕. Now that she’s an ice queen it’s time to lose the hard dark glasses. Go white or anything that matches skin tone but very pale in color. Really enjoyed you thinking it through. One thing stylists don’t do and I wish they would is to leave a message where we can research products. I have white and brown hair, fragile and thin. It hasn’t been colored for 18 mos because my beautician put the bleach and foils on first thing and then left me under a dryer too long because she was serving another client at the same time. Never again. If a beautician can’t handle only one client (at 300$ ) then she’s a greedy jerk. Live and learn. Anyway, I’d like to research some of your products used please.oh, say where you are! I’d come running if you were in my city.

Ha Lauren I like your video can this blending work on African American Grey Hair Thank you.

Your mom is beautiful 😊

pretty can the yellowing from high heat be reversed?

I understand blending etc but I’m curious if the ends were so fragile why not trim them off since there was so little left unless it’s for content purpose . Great job though

Love the pre-tone tip! I'm curious as to how long this took and how you assess the timing🌺

It turned out beautiful! 😊

Oh your mother is so blessed to have you! I was a hairdresser in my teens and 20's and my clientele was mostly the shampoo and set age group...this was back in the 1980's! I never was the type of person that knew how to build my business and struggled hard through those years. Most of that time actually being homeless. I am now over 60 and let my own gray hair grow out and it was not pretty, being a warm medium blond naturally with some darker hair mixed in. And like your mother my very top was a pretty white, but I had patches of darker, ugly hair on the back of my head, and around my edges. Just never looked right. I tried to correct the color using what was supposed to be the lightest silvery white and it ended up looking almost black. Oh it looks OK now, but all that time growing it out just to mess it up. I wish I had not messed with it. I ended up shaving one side of my head above on ear and cutting it short in the back...At least it made it look like I was going for a look. lol I can't afford to go to a stylist. So, it's just hair and it will grow out. and I am basically homebound except for Dr.'s appointments. They don't care. I wear the same outfit every time I go. I am overweight for the first time in my life. so I figure if they don't like my clothes or hair they can start paying me to come! JK. I thought you did a great job! My Grannie loved Redkin products back in her day. She was an amazing lady that was widowed and raised her two boys and had her own salon back when it wasn't as acceptable for women to work and be successful.

Very nicex

It’s a beautiful style but I’m not sure why not just trim it instead of using chemicals which only makes it more fragile. Then, instead of blow drying, why not roll it, and put her under the dryer? It’s much easier on the hair. Love the foil tip. Thx for that.

This is a wonderful video for th9se 9f us who are naturally gray, silver. Thanks you so much!

Thank you for this! I'm going to make my hairdresser watch it. What you did for your mom is what I asked her to do for me. Instead of getting all the leftover blonde out of my hair, I have beige highlights and lost half my lovely natural silver!

White blending tips? I only seem to hear of grey blending. Is there white blending? My hair is pure white. I was trying to do the blending instead of root touch ups all the time but all the stylists cannot get my hair to match my natural white hair. So now back to root touch ups. Any suggestions? (my hair has no grey at all no pigment left) thanks

Looks beautiful 👍🏽

How soon will mom have to comeback for redo? Will you have to do entire process every time she goes for retouch? When it is time for retouch what color did her hair change to? Thinking yellow. Thanks so much. I am going through this process now with my grow out.

I have been to so many people to help me blend my brown hair and bring in the gray and no one knows anything or they mess up my hair. How can I find a good stylist because I would love to foil my hair at home tbut thats so hard to do on your own hair. Need to your and any info. Thank you

Where is your shop ? I’d love to have this color.

What is the base of shades eq 10p please?

her hair looks great.

Gorgeous lady and lucky mama ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome job! I want to eventually get to that color. Grays are growing out now with a semi permanent gray color….it helps to not see the new growth so obvious. Anyway, you Mom is adorable!

I need you 8n my life. I can't find anyone in my area help with some type of blending for me to transition better. I'm just tired of fighting with home coloring.

Why do permanent silver grays fade? I just bought a home color silver to do my hair...now I'm wondering about it! 🤔

Why did you choose K18 over RedKen PreArt? (I’m new to both brands and am wanting to learn more)

I wish you can do my hair

Do you ever use permanent dye in grey tones instead of toner?

I'm confused as to why you think Olaplex is so time consuming?

Great video. Your voice over is so nice & clear. All of your video was great. And you are a Fabulous Hairstylist!
