I dont have hair but one day hope my hair will grow back. I was having chemo and eventually the hair loss was so bad it was easier to get rid of it completely. Im in remission now and i noticed fine growth. I hope one day i can actually use a hair brush.

So I did this and it turned out great!!! Some key things..my natural color is a level 5/6 so dirty blonde..My ends were already very blonde from getting highlights over the years. 1. I bought 40vol processing solution, after researching I found that b/c I’m already a dirty blonde I would need 20vol processing solution. So I diluted my 40vol to make 20vol.. 1part distilled water to 1 part 40vol. 2. Thin sections when highlighting is key so you don’t end up with patches here and there. 3. I completely foiled and then let it process for 30-35min checking and pulling out foils that looked done. My hair is on the thick side so I had around 10-15 foils 4. I let my root tap process for about 10min and my toner process for 4-5min. This was my first time ever doing my own hair and I was so hesitant but I practiced on some bottom sections a day or two before I did the top. I’m not a hairdresser at all and was scared but the results were so amazing!!

She is the best out there and I have watched many. And her talking is not annoying like other youtubers who do hair videos. She is awesome.

I’ve been doing hair for 18 years. Girl…. Im impressed!! Camera presence is perfect!!!! Nailed your own hair! Beautiful 🤩

You inspired me to stop doing a full bleach retouch and do a more natural look. I now am going for a balyage with shadow root to let my hair get a rest.

This is my favorite look on you, Sylvia. So beautiful and you gave a very professional tutorial!

Absolutely stunning! I love all the colors intermingling... it's hard to tel where one color starts and ends. To me, that's the sign of a phenomenal color stylist!

I love the tones and dimension your blonde has!

It's beautiful!! I love the darker shadows and length. Looks so natural.

Thank you so much for yet another amazing, easy to follow DIY hair bleeching and toning videos. My favorite hair care teacher on RU-vid 👍🏼.

I have been watching your videos for a while now and decided to leave a positive comment that will hopefully inspire others to try this at home. Because it works! For reference, I’m a natural brunette with long voluminous hair. I had the balayage done a few years back and paid $350 to get my hair so damaged I had to do a long Bob. Because of covid, not being able to go back to the salon, I found myself experimenting at home. First mistake I made, I tried henna. I KNOW!!! Trying to go down the healthy route, BUT, I’m past my 30’s with grays on my sideburns and dark tones just makes me look older. SO, I decided to gradually get rid of the henna by getting regular trims, doing clarifying shampoos and color correcting at the salon to get the green/blue tones off. As you all know, these color correction sessions can get very pricey. Now that I only have 2-3 inches left of the henna (green/blue tones) left at the ends, I headed to a Sally store and bought “Quick Blue bleach by L’Oréal with 30 developer and did a few strands of baby lights, keeping a slide in between and weaving the second slide I bleached, not touching the roots at all, a couple in the back for when I pick up the hair, a few at the crown on both sides for parting in the middle, and a few up front diagonally for framing the face. I left it for about 30 minutes to get a light honey color. Washed the hair and blow dried the roots. I followed up with AGEbeautiful 7A with 20 developer for a root touch up, waited about 30 minutes and added Wella’s T18 mixed with the T27 and 20 developer to the entire hair and waited about 20 minutes then washed and did a deep conditioning treatment. I couldn’t be happier with the results! The colors blended beautifully, no brassiness on the root or mid shaft sections, and small amount of very pale bluish on the ends from the old henna. I let it air dry about 50% (to minimize damage) then gently blow dried and cut about an inch off. I only spent $37 of product and still have bleach, toner and developer left!!! Thank you for taking the time to do these videos, very educational and helpful!

I’ve been following your tips for DIY hair things for years and you seem to always post just what I need when my hair needs it! 😂 Thank you so much! Hair is gorgeous! 💃🏼♥️🥰

Hair perfection 😍 this is my goal right here ☝️ I've been watching your chanel for the last 8yrs because I started doing my hair myself. You always explain it so well and have beautiful results. I love it!

Elle Bangs YOU ARE THE BEST! The diagonal face frame pieces are the most important!! You're a GENIUS!

This was one of the best hair tutorials I’ve ever seen 😍😍😍 you made this so easy to follow and you look incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been progressively moving towards gray since age 28. I’ve performed root color and highlights for years at home. This video helped me immensely! Always unsure about where to tone and how. Thank you so much! LOVE your videos!

This was both stressful & relaxing to watch . I use to do my own weave , and I would feel so anxious. I don’t do it myself anymore . Kudos to you for the patience you have ! Looks beautiful.

Always follow you, as you give the most useful tips. My hair has improved a lot since I started following you. You and your hair look great!

The first allover color is my favorite!!! But the blonde is of course very beautiful too! Great job Elle, we love you 💕

Love this, its so hard doing your own hair but resolve and patience and of course having a clear plan will give almost salon results. Thank you for helping us, I always learn something.

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! Its really helpful and will hopefully prevent me from ruining my hair next time I touch up my roots ♥️

I just want to say thank you!! These videos are the best and I could never get my hair the way I truly wanted it at a salon! Now, not only is it cheaper bc I just get a cut, I love my hair ❤️❤️

Your hair really grew a lot from the last time you got your haircut. Lots of root growth that’s awesome. I enjoy these vids on you retouching your hair. I tend to mess up something trying to get the right color.

I’ve been waiting for an updated hair color. I love it!

Wow that was amazing! So beautiful!! This video came out just when I needed it!☺️

The root touch up portion alone was helpful :) she made handling the foils look easy , it takes a lot of practice ! Wow amazing !

Your timing could not have been better! I've got a touch up planned tomorrow!!! Such great tips, your hair is beautiful 💖

Beautiful! I love your tips and your hair always looks gorgeous and heathy. Great job!!😊💜

Thank you so much for all your tips and for being so inspirational for a lot of us🥰🥰 Your hair is beautiful 💕

When I'm lost on how to refresh my balayage and my roots, I come here for a refresher course. Thank you so much

I have 25 years as a color specialist. I have switched to Paul Mitchell color. I am fighting gold tones and gray coverage level 7 and up. SOOO FRUSTRATING. And, humbling. I have not used the 2 color lines you have mentioned. I am so grateful to have found your channel. You are a phenomenal teacher! I am hopeful for this formula and process. 🤞🤞🤞🤗 Thank you!

Beautiful blonde!! 💛 love the blondeme bleach! Thanks for showing the whole process

This vid like yr voice or song choice is so relaxing that it’s literally music for my nerves. Final result is beautiful. 💝

Who are the 15 lost souls that gave this vid a thumbs down? This girl has some mad skills! So great! Beautiful hair! 🌟💕

these neutrals tones suit you well, you look very coherent and you have lovely hair, as always :) sending love

Thank you so much for this video! I’m a stay at home mom and can’t afford to sit in a salon for 5 hours and dish out hundreds so I did this step by step last night with all the products you used and my hair turned out flawless! My husband said it’s the best it’s ever looked! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Love your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!! We appreciate it!! 💖💖💖

All of her videos are great - but I think this is the best one!! Thanks.

Love the new look. As the salons are closed here in the UK it was very satisfying to watch! Hope to one day get in the chair with you!

Best diy I’ve seen definitely most realistic with her starting point and how she does those baby light foils. Turns out beautiful though. Looking forward to more videos

Your video helped me dye my roots yesterday. I try to go from total blond to a bit less and give my hair some break and time to recover. It was very helpful and turned out pretty well.

Beautifully crafted tutorial. Your videos got me inspired and confident enought to try some toning with developer. Two different colors, for my dirty ash blonde hair, with some grey and year old highlights. No more bleaching, no more ponytails. I can DO THIS. I have so far been afraid to do anything at home since a run in with Sun In, In the 70's:( But your videos have given me WINGS! Thank you so much!

Wonderful job. Incredible work on the hair colour. TY for sharing.

Absolutely love your new look 😍 Thank you for sharing trying to do my hair at home and your videos are extremely helpful since I am already blonde and now want to do low light to bring dimension so wish me luck

You're my hero. Amazing how you managed to do this yourself

Absolutely gorgeous!!🤩 maybe sometime you could also show us the haircut method, it looks so good with so much volume and this is what I’m looking for too.. thank you for sharing all these, so useful xx

Blondme is such a strong lightener and to use with 40 vol for 50 min!!! That’s crazy!!!!

Bless you, ur hair will grow back. Stay Strong!!! I'm routing for you!!!

I do my hair myself and it looks pretty similar to yours! I love it and all i have learned has been thanks to you! You are awesome!!

You are my hero! How on earth do you do your own highlights? I know I saw you do it, but I am still AMAZED! You are just lovely and so talented!

Absolutely love this look on you! Thanks so much for sharing 🙏

Loving this color😍 fabulous job! I have just learn something today.🤗

I'm totally doing this. Wish me luck. Love your video!!!

Ellebangs, you have inspired me and I have begun to do this! At first, I was so scared that my hands were fumbling all over the place. But after the second and third time, it has gotten easier. Thank you so much! I'm a fan!

Lol I love how at the end she's just like yep hey guys so this is the result, nbd, and it looks absolutely fantastic. Like damn!

Love you! Can’t wait for a consultation! Dream come true!

This was a great tutorial. I can't afford to pay hundreds to lighten my hair at a salon, so I've been doing it myself and I will definitely use your tips and tricks from this video.

I just love how you explain and break things down. I wish I could afford you and take that 3hr drive. I can't so I'll do it myself. Thankyou soooo soooo mutch for your tutorials .❤❤

Beautiful job on the hair colour. TY for sharing.

This is super relaxing to watch

Beautiful! It’s very rare for anyone to condone 40 vol dev, so I’m glad you think it’s okay.👌 Love your videos!❤️

I love your colour and placement/thickness of your highlights! Great video. I'm hoping to ask my hair stylist can do this for me next visit.

I am somewhat new to your channel. I want to say to you. I so appreciate your videos. This one in particular. I followed your steps and absolutely love love love my hair! Thank you so much for making these videos avail to the public at to no cost...as my lifestyle has changed dramatically since a divorce complicated by Co-vid19. I can no longer afford to pay a salon the $300.00 + as in the past. I am not complaining, I'm bragging! lol... as I think that with your step by step instruction my hair looks better than ever before! Sylvia, (until moments ago I thought your name was Elle Bangs...I thought, what a coincidence!) you are stunning beautiful, inside out! Thank you again!

Amazing hair tutorial!!!! Thank you so much!

Did this today, except the gray coverage, Love it!!! Thanks so much!

Your hair looks gorgeous!! Love your tutorials!!

Your hair is goals.

This is literally the only video I found where someone does permanent colour on the roots + highlights … I have really dark roots naturally and it’s so hard to find a technique online since everyone just does root smudges with semi permanent dye which never lightens my roots so there’s always a contrast between the blonde and my root colour. Thanks for sharing this video and this method. ❤️❤️🙏🏼

you make it look so easy!! 🤩😭😭

🥰🙏🏼Thank You Love!!! My hair is perfection!💁🏼‍♀️🙌🏻

I would be such a mess doing those foils. You are so good at this. Definitely looks easier then when it’s done. Gorgeous.

This tutorial helped me slay my hair ♡ thank you

Omg i am so lucky. I was watching ur 2nd last vedio that you will show us ur coloring technique. New subscriber

I like the shorter look it looks light and effortless, it has movement and style. I have thick wavy hair and cut it by myself, thining out, shortening and making the ends lighter! So now maybe color!

I love her videos I always learn something new

Your hair is gorgeous!! 😍

Your hair is stunning!

Thank you for giving great advice!!

Your hair look lovely, can I just say your very brave you did all that without gloves! Wow

Love these tutorials!

What an amazing video!!!! Thanks a million

To be honest you gave me the confidence and skill to do my own highlights! I became better and better with time but now I am at a professional level, actually, I like it better when I do it myself the only bit I cannot get right yet is the toning but it is probably because of the product I use. Thank you for everything anyway.

Thank you for showing the extension removal. I have not been able to see this process anywhere! I am considering getting tape ins too. Your hair looks great by the way

Beautiful results!

Thanks a lot. Very inspiring and helpful😘

Me encanta el talento de esta Dama!

Amazing!!! You are a true genius!

Gosh so good I love watching your old vids too so much learning 😮 but was shocked with 40 vol old 80s I’ve gone now to 20 vol instead of using 30 vol and getting good results and getting more confident with shadeszq thanks to your explaining and will switch to redken on base 6 your formula makes sense to get rid of gold in roots !! Ohh thankyou I’ve learnt so much still more to learn ha 37 years of hairdressing 😂 still learning ❤ thankyou Silvia

Perfect video yay I’m colouring my hair this arvo so thorough I always start from the front I will start from the back

you made this look so easy!

Always have loved your videos, you are so good at what you do. You’re tutorials are the best 🥰

You look so pretty with the darker hair🤩

I have been a hair colour specialist for 32 years and I was ready to be “what in the fresh hell is this”. You did such a beautiful job explaining step by step how to achieve this look. I know for a fact that’s there’s so many factors with hair colour and I hope your subscribers take advantage of your consults during this weird time. I have had to fix a lot of COVID lockdown hair where I am from. No judgement on my clients, it’s been hard staying at home.

Gorgeous hair color!

Another fabulous video. In love with your color! Wish u would have included the cut as well & hope u do a video of the cut process ❤️

Beautiful and thank you for sharing this video.

I am jealous of every woman in your chair. Fabulous results
