Is she using permanent dye to cover her greys I have had rainbow hair then various split dyes for last four years previously I had white blonde on top dark brown underneath now I've gone back to 90s chunky highlights and I've been bleaching my roots before putting a demo permanent on it in ask blonde cool dark brown and iced mocha to give my underneath dimension I have thick striped underneath in the two Brown shades then my mowk hawk section is ash blonde mocha and cool dark brown stripes to the back of my head the iced mocha colour is fading really quickly but I was worried if I put it on my natural hair it would not cover my greys my hair is probably level 5 brown with 50% grey should I be using permanent colour ? I've dyed my own hair since being a teen-ager I did few years going to salon in my early twenties then had four kids could not afford to go salon anymore but I had the 90 s chunky highlights in the late 90s early 2000s so I knew how to do it from my stylist bk then just not sure about covering grey without bleaching my hair first the whole point in going bk dark was to give my hair a rest to recover from years or fashion colours and bleach

My wife just paid $180 for a cut and dye at a salon and they absolutely ruined it. She wanted brown with deep burgundy highlights and a trim with her hair down to collar bone length. They cut her long hair above her shoulders and dyed it BLAZE ORANGE. When the stylist turned her around to see it in the mirror the started crying and said she looked like a Chucky doll. She cried for the next 5 hours straight. I can’t help how short she cut it, but this video helped me a lot and I just finished successfully re-dying her orange hair to a deep dark black cherry that she is very happy with.

Your explanation of “they may not have the means to do salon quality,” is amazing. I’d love to be able to have my hair done at a salon. But the last time I had it professionally done, it was $250. That’s my electric bill and gas bill for a month together. Some of us don’t want to have grey hair in their early 30’s, but still want to be able to put food on the table, heat in our homes during the winter.

I am a hairstylist and I honestly don't understand what all the hate for box dye is about, I've gotten plenty of clients who have come in with box dyed hair asking for highlights and it's never been an issue with me, they lift just fine and the hair is just as healthy. I feel like all the hate comes from this wierd insecurity that some people can do just fine on their own

@roselucht4583 2 года назад

@livealifeIRL 2 года назад

Thanks so much for being the voice of non-judgey hair stylists. I wish there were more of you! I used to see a great hairdresser who complimented me on the richness and tone of my hair….until I told her it was a box colour and then she changed on a dime to saying the colour was patchy and my hair was in terrible condition yada yada (this was all in the same appointment!). Even though she’s very talented I never went back to her after that. I felt like a naughty child the way she was carrying on. I’ve since found a great alternative hairdresser locally who understands why I box dye my roots in between colour appointments ;)

@katieosull63 2 года назад

I've received more compliments from my box dyed hair than I ever did from any professional salon color and many of those compliments came from hairdressers who were shocked that I had boxed hair color in my hair. Eventually, I had to give up box coloring because it would not color my grey anymore. I've since let my hair go salt and pepper now, and I love it. Glad to be free of the maintenance.

@viewtube51 2 года назад

Same, my salt and peppers are here to stay.

@Dysgyzed Месяц назад

Yep. Your understanding of why some of us dye our own hair with boxed product is exactly why I'm following you. Hair shaming is just as unacceptable as any other kind of shaming; it especially irritates me that people who are ostensibly there to make others feel better about themselves through styling will take an opportunity to be contemptuous of clients trying to look better! I'm not going every month to professionally have my red hair re-done by a professional. I have ALL respect for what a great stylist does, but simply can not invest more than $1,000 a year in the service. So! Thank you for this video ... as I sit here with my hair gooey with hair color! *Laugh* I'll know next time how to do it better! Two years after you so generously shared tips, you're still helping people!

@Ms7of8 2 года назад

I've been dying my hair red (light to medium auburn) for almost 40 years. I would go through periods of having it salon dyed; however, one can't leave even a modest salon for less than $200 these days. For me, it's just gotten prohibitively expensive. With that said, red hair dye fades -- a lot ! I do my roots about every five weeks and always need to apply the dye to the remainder of my hair for five minutes or so. It always looks even toned. One of the most important things after dying the hair red (I can't speak for other colors, since I've always done the red dye), is to wear a hat in the sun ! Otherwise, the hair will become oxidized and look dreadful, e.g., brassy, uneven and fried. Other than my own two cents (lol), I pretty much have been following all the recommendations Ms. Gabi suggests in this video. Very helpful -- thank you.

@Irish-Triplet 2 года назад

When I used to go to a salon for hair cuts, I regularly had other patrons wanting my hair color... "I want my hair color to look like that.." I was flattered, as I used box dyes (two different shades mixed together). It looked nice and shiny. The hair stylist would tell them it looked good because my grey hair (under the dye) was the reason it shined and made the color look good. I stopped getting my hair styled also and do it myself now. RU-vid has been a great resource for that. Thanks for this video on how to do it properly.

@soccermommyNPC 10 месяцев назад

Which shades do you mix?

@Irish-Triplet 10 месяцев назад

@fizzysodaghost Since I am a little older, I go a little lighter. I used to mix medium golden brown with medium auburn. Now I use Revlon Colorsilk, mixing (45) Bright Auburn and (54) Light Golden Brown. It's inexpensive and fades a little, but I only wash it 2x a week and use the Colorsilk condtioner (that comes with the dye) as my twice-weekly treatment .

I am an old hairdresser it was my profession as a young woman and the things you have said are really helpful for anyone that is dying there hair at home but I would have said if someone as shorter hair and won't to refresh the ends of there hair they can just comb the DIY that is already on there hair to the ends and leave for 5 mins that way you only need 1 box of diy you xplained the steps so we'll 😊

@sarahholland2600 2 года назад

My hairdresser told me never apply the colour onto bits or ends that are already coloured to 'refresh' old colour, as it damages it. My hair is in way better condition than friends who do that.

@dsvance1 2 года назад

@@sarahholland2600 It may depend on the color. I started covering gray at age 19 using Darkest Brown, closest to my natural color. I never needed to refresh. With blonde (for a decade) and now especially with red, the color fades some need refreshing. Not every time, but occasionally.

@minkyfran8307 2 года назад

I don’t know why so many hairstylists are so negative about box dye , I’ve used them for years and never had any problems, Good for you for not shaming people

@dsvance1 2 года назад

My hairdressers have *always* had to mix up more color in the middle of applying; usually they go back once to mix up more. My last hairdresser, on my last time to go to her, went back *5* times, for a total of 6 mixings. I went to her for a year. She knows I have unusually thick hair. She knows it is long. Then, after she's rinsed the color off, she insists on putting on all this polisher and shiner and I don't know what, so that when I leave, my hair is a completely different color red (brighter, brassier) than it is after I wash it. I've told her I don't like product on my hair. But of course, in the area I now live, anything one tells a hairdresser is seen as a "suggestion". Guess what, ladies? It's MY hair; I'm having it MY way. Thank you, Glam Girl Gabi, for helping me learn what I need to know to look the way I want to look.

@ts4686 2 года назад

@CH-1984 Год назад

I've box dyed for years, even got a compliment from my hairstylist. I only do my roots, using half a box. I have just above the shoulder length, med-light weight hair. I pour half amounts & shake in an empty clean previous dispenser bottle (finger over open top!). Starting at the back of my part line, with the pointed tip, squeeze out line of dye. With gloved index finger press lightly down to spread out dye. Using tip of bottle draw (forehead to back of crown) a new part line half inch (or adjust spacing) parallel from 1st. Squeeze another line of dye back to front, press lightly. Continue parting parallel horizontal lines to ears. Make sure to get temple area hairs. The back isn't as fussy. I squeeze in zig zag patterns the sections under the hair. Then reach under with glove to distribute dye on roots. Then toward end of time gather rest of dry hair to get some dye on it. I stick with the same color & brand. Sorry for long explanation, hope it helps. I could never use a brush to apply by myself. Gabi is a good teacher!

I'm a natural ginger and I was looking for a 2000's Cameron Diaz Blonde, so I bought a dye box and was pretty much about to make a mess, thank god I found this video, it's been about 3 hours since I dyed and it looks just what I was hoping for. Thank you so much for all your professionalism and share of knowledge.

@laurachamberlain9591 2 года назад

So many times I have gone to the professional hairdresser, tell them what color I want and they put a box dye on my hair, then charge $50. Many many times. Other times I go in for more detailed colors like highlights. In my experience, detailed bleach and highlights cause my hair to break and box dies do not. After the last time I went to a professional, I am still trying to grow out the breakage on the entire left side of my head. I have decided to just do box dyes on myself and I feel like my hair is happier. So thank you for being open about explaining this.

I discovered your channel a few months ago. It's so refreshing to see a real hair dresser addressing box dye. The pros and cons, etc. Your client looks so beautiful. Thank you for all your tips and help because people really are going to use box dye for whatever their own reasons are. I used to save up to get my hair cut and just dye my own hair because I had a bad experience at a salon with a specialist dying my hair and causing chemical burns. I think this video is so helpful for many clients who are shamed for using box dyes.

@lynette599 2 года назад

_Nobody talks about this: When you wash your hair, particularly in hot water, you risk opening up the cuticle and letting the color bleed out. Palmer recommended washing colored hair in cooler water: "That makes your hair cuticle stay closed and keeps your hair color trapped inside the strands of hair. Warm water makes the cuticle more likely to open and let the color out, which is why color fades so fast. Also,t he type of shampoo, conditioner, and products you use at home are the ultimate reason why your color is going to last or fade,. Drugstore shampoos may feel like they're getting your hair and scalp really clean, but they can have chemicals in them that are linked to fading of professional hair color. If you invest in your products, you'll realize how much more life you'll get from your color. Some drugstore brands of shampoo and conditioner can contain synthetic ingredients like sulfates, parabens, silicone, and other ingredients that strip hair of its color. When you invest in high-quality hair care, you're investing in your hair color and overall hair health._ (Copied & pasted)

@nickyhanssen9853 2 года назад

thank you!! I've never had luck when getting my hair coloured by a hairdresser, often times they would use a completely wrong colour to what I asked and discussed with the hairdresser. in March 2021 I asked for a purple with blue undertone, quite an easy feat, even to custom mix. You'd THINK that an experienced hairdresser knows colour theory.... nope :') it was straight up a red with slight purple sheen. I was sooooo mad, I walked out, didn't pay and came back the next day when I had cooled down. I spoke with the owner and apparently this wasnt the first time that the girl I was paired with had done this. Needless to say she was fired because of the amount of times she'd done this.

Ah it is so nice to see you and other hair dressers addressing this issue without judgement. I've done both, getting coloured at hairdresser and on my own. I can honestly say that my personal experience was the price point i had to go to, to find a hair dresser that did an amazing job of my hair was over $500 AUD. Now I'm living in the UK that price point seems similar and when i did treat myself the hairdresser scalp bleached my hair and it was yellow/orange (hot roots) in a week and my hair started falling out! I'm now turning ro videos like this to save my money and return to doing my hair on my own without damaging it.

Got my hair back into a good place and tried again, thinking it must have been the salon. Same results- tons of damage, hair falling out, and I didn’t even like the resulting color. It seemed like the thing to do as I matured, go to the salon and invest in a good color but it’s yet to work out for me and I just like my box dye!!

I broke down and bought a box of color because I need gray coverage and my color is looking dull and I don't have the money to do it professionally but I think now I'm going to wait a month until I can afford it because it's hard for me to get the back of my head myself. I used to do my hair from a box a lot years ago, I wish I'd have had this video then!!! Again, thank you! This video answered everything!!❤️

Great video! I only do my roots myself using box dye, to match my hair. I add Grey Magic to give an extra boost to cover my greys. However, I leave the added highlights and lowlights to my trustworthy stylist. As a widow, I could never afford getting 6-8 week root touch ups.

Thank you for your video I feel better knowing that you understand, I’ve been dying my own hair for years and finally went to salon but they charged $100 and that’s too much to spend all the time.

Ty for this video.I am someone who up until I got sick would go to the salon and get my hair straightened every week and coloured every 8 weeks. I have long fine hair thats wavy and frizzy and is mid back.The reason I box dye is financial...I got very sick with an incurable disease and now am a divorced mom of four .I want to keep my hair long and I dye it anything from red to brown.My natural colour was auburn but im 49 and now its 80% grey. Due to my hair length it usually was 220-250 to get my hair done. Its rather labour intensive to do my hair and a stylist has done the training and uses quality products so i have NEVER complained about price.s ..and anytime I did go to an off brand salon for a dye... I learned you really get what you pay for!!I Want to add the box dye I generally use its Garnier fructis but it has to be in the 100% colour formula which is double pigmented for grey versus the reg fructis, So far it doesnt hot root me and it covers my grey well.Ty for the tips Gabi!

@rosanilebron1566 2 года назад

Thanks for this video! With the global situation and past lockdowns, lots of people changed to use box dye because they can't go to salons. Also, economy challenges. I can't afford going to salon every 12 days to retouch my roots, my hair growth is super fast and in less than 15 days I have gray roots. So, box dye it is.

That’s great! I’m so happy that I was able to help. Let me know how it goes next time you do it with some of these tricks!

@raffila 2 года назад

Thanks. Years ago when my hair guy got sick and I lost him, I missed him so much I couldnt go to someone else. . I learned to box dye exactly like shown here. Yay what good luck. 18 momths ago almost all my hair fell out, due to ? No idea why. I was getting ready to re-dye because I look like hell in all grey, white and black. Thank god I watched because I realize my regrown hair is too fragile for any dye, box or otherwise. I have always dyed exactly as shown here, so for now there isnt any tip or trick to minimize harshness. Hopefully I can strengthen it over more time. Wish me luck!

I am looking for info and best advice on home box dye. This video was so super important to me and my friends and family. We all admire you so much for so many different reasons! We all thank you! To be honest we all enjoy going to hair salon way more than home box dye but just not available for some of us at this time! If they ( hair dressers) all were as kind and real as you girl!! Thank you!

Doing my home hair color as I’m watching this. The last time I had my hair highlighted was about 4 months ago, I didn’t like how it came out,so I decided to color it at home. I chose L’Oréal Excellence #6 Light Brown. It’s always so hard to choose a color, my roots are dark , but hair always looks lighter and brassy. I hope it comes out okay, I haven’t colored my own hair in years! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos for those of us who are on a budget! Love you Gabby! 🥰🌸💕 Ps: Her hair color came out great! Crossing my fingers for my own. 🥰

@rosemadder5547 Год назад

Subscribed! I tried to watch another and it started with "whether you don't WANT to spend the money"...yeah.. it's not a want kind of thing lol Plus my anxiety. I'm in EMT training and we went over the fact that people are allowed to refuse transport to the ER and it's not our job to judge them. It can be religious, anxiety, mistrust, etc... if they are in the right mind, it's not our job to shame them and anyway, no one single person is "right" in their opinions. Thank you so much for putting it across the way you did and calling others out at the beginning. You rock.

Thank you for video. Thanks for the no judging. I have always gone to a Professional--however the older I get, the more I need touch ups for my gray. I just can't handle the price. I want to go for the box--this was helpful.

@Rachaelann59 Год назад

These are great tips and well-informed. I see why she is stuck on that box dye; it give her the results she wants, it's extremely affordable, & it looks awesome on her! Unfortunately, not everyone is going to have great results with box dye, for the reasons you mentioned.

@jimbearone 2 года назад

Diluting the color with a conditioner for refreshing the lengths and ends works quite well add twice as much conditioner as color for any shade deeper than level 6, equal amounts for shades lighter than 6.

@mygirldarby 2 года назад

I've been using Revlon Colorsilk in dark ash blonde for years now. It's amazingly good and very inexpensive. I can usually get a box for under $3. Sometimes I buy Colorsilk medium ash blonde and mix a capful of it plus a capful of developer (1:1 ratio) in with the dark ash blonde. My hair is naturally dark blonde/light brown and loves to pull red or orange, so I can't go all the way medium ash blonde without a toner. Lately I've been experimenting with the Adore brand of toner mixed with conditioner to neutralize red/orange tones. I have used the colors titanium and platinum (two parts conditioner to one part toner) and I'm happy with the results. I'm seriously considering trying to do a root shadow using Colorsilk light ash brown or perhaps using a toner and 6% developer.

@jprevatt 2 года назад

LOVE this product!! #20 was a go-to for years, now I use #11 as it lasts longer. Closest thing to salon pro colors but in your local drugstore! Conditioner packet for aftercare treatment is great too!

@2244ntho66 2 года назад

I am a Color Silk fan, too. Simple black here. It covers my dark blonde/brown & slightly grey thoroughly, doesn't go brassy and fits the pocketbook. Cheers!

I have two young children and a husband who works 14 hours a day, 6 days a week with a set day off on Sunday. Most hairdressers aren’t open Sunday’s but I also don’t want to sit at a salon for 3 plus hours to get my hair done, and be disappointed by my results.. which happens most of the time.

Good video! I have box dyed and highlighted my hair forever! I had a hairdresser that always gave me tips bc he knew I wasn't going to pay for him to do it. lol The one time I had a salon dye my hair, I went from Blonde to red and I hated the color this guy used. It should have looked great with my skin tone and hazel eyes but he picked the worst red (not the previously mentioned hairdresser) That sealed the deal for me, I would be the only one dying my hair! I will admit, I have made mistakes...pink, green but they all have been learning experiences!

@gillhoward7975 Год назад

Brilliant demonstration. Only thing, like blow drying, it's not so easy doing your own hair, angles of brush etc are different. Nothing beats the luxury of going to the hairdressers but like you say there are lots of factors. Many thanks.

@jamicheshire 7 месяцев назад

This is the most helpful video & my hair is the exact color of the model. Switching from salon to box bec I’m in Europe w/o access to a salon atm. Would not have thought to only bring the ends through for 5mins instead of the whole time. Thank you! 😊

@sherylbehrman3146 10 месяцев назад

After watching this video I bought a tint brush , hair clips , dye bowl and water spray bottle . I followed your instructions and my hair color turned out really well . I have a more even color on all the hairs . I used to have lighter roots and darker ends . Using the brush to apply the color to the roots , then the last 5 minutes spraying the middle and ends with a little water before applying the color really did the trick !!! Thank you .
