Nice Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Millawdon Goodbye Gray Trick (probably on Google)? It is a great one of a kind product for learning how to reverse gray hair fast minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you considered - Millawdon Independent Decision Trick (search on google)?

@hairbylexidawn Thanks for this video! I had a stylist do foil highlights then after all the foils she put in a root color then put me under the dryer. 😞 my roots were nothing but brass. She had to put on another root color to try to tone out my roots. In which didn’t help. My hair got blow dryed like 3 times in that session. My hair is still recovering from that day. Horrible experience. Now I see how it should’ve been done.
@@AbiCroCro same. On that journey now. There is so much free education here on YT it's kinda mind-blowing.... I feel like going back and taking it to these so-called professionals!
It's astounding that these professionals make these rookie mistakes all the time. I'm a dark brunette who is now blonde due to having to perform my own color correction
If I directly highlight the grey hair from the roots by applying a blonder n then wash it off n put a color on it will it be able to cover the grey hair with the color???? Or should I first cover my roots with black since I'm an Indian n my hair is originally black n then leave that area n highlight only the mid length of my hair till the ends??? Please reply as I want to get it done in a few days time. The box that I have is the Streax highlights box in the shade cappuccino brown.
I can't do it that way if my client has one and a half inch gray. If she has 1/4 growth, then yeah, I would do it, she likes the highlights up to her roots, not away from her roots. I do the roots first, wash and dry then do highlights. Or do highlights then apply color on her gray.
I personally have done. But I had to keep an eye on the processed hair closer to the roots( after I remove the foils) bc they need a toner to correct any warmth. And the rest of the highlights would need a different toner. In another words, I used two toners. I’m a licensed stylist.
Hi , I just find you And you have another subscriber here Thank you for sharing your knowledge I appreciate it . What would happens with the base color if I am slow person doing the highlights ? Worst full highlights Can the base formula stay longer?
I'm having a hard time touching up my grays and was told to use developer for 20 min before applying color. Also the ends are much darker for some reason, what's your advise if I want to color my whole head and have it be the same color?
+Rosexracer i would definitely go to a professional. They would be able to see your hair and know what to do. It would be hard for me to tell you what to do when I haven't seen or touched your hair
retouch on something like this is what really stresses me out.. would you pretty please do a video on retouching highlights when it's not a full head of highlights but there are low lights in between.. there are no videos on RU-vid that address that kind of retouch.
I guess my point in asking is because it's not like you're going through and looking for the exact sections that you did blonde and then finding the ones you did dark and following the exact pattern? you just part you would if you're doing a weave for the first time and paint accordingly? I don't know if my question is making sense
+Stephanie Toney this is pretty high maintenance because of her wanting to keep her roots brown. She usually waits 4 weeks but has a lot of gray when she comes in.
Lexi Dawn thanks for the reply - I was afraid it was high maintenance because I loved it. I've been coloring my own roots with a 5NN and 20 volume myself for several years now to avoid high maintenance but I miss the brightness of blonde highlights and most of my gray is around my face and part so it shows really quickly. I've been looking for ways to add blonde back in to camouflage some of the grays.
I also like to mix my toner in with my lightener depending on the client but I've never thought about this technique and I have no idea why lol. Thanks for your feedback!!!
+Ashley Vandermast I used 20vol. Yeah it will pull really warm if you over lap root color and bleach because you are trying to get through that color plus her natural dark hair which will pull warm when lifting. You really have two options though, you can do just wait longer with the bleach on until it is pale yellow or you can do the highlights first than go in with a root color.
