I'm almost 50 & have either dyed & bleached my own hair or had it professionally done since I was 12 & always considered myself fairly knowledgeable abt color but seriously this vid was a total Master Class on corrective color! I took meds that destroyed my new growth & now it grows in the most horrid mousy lv 3 brwn Karen shade when prior to meds my color was usu a lvl 7 rd & it's made it so very frustrating for both my stylist & I to keep it the vibrant rd I prefer. This vid just gave me so many ideas, I can't wait to take it to her. Tku so much for making these videos & striving to better educate colorists
I’m going to try and type out everything but please watch the video first and I’m no pro. 1:03 Strand test! Tried different lighteners and looked for damage from different formulas. 2:15 Got started with color remover and applied to freshly washed hair. Double shampoo using clarifying shampoo was used on mids and ends more to open up the cuticle. 3:50 Color remover and she processed client for 30 minutes 4:19 one more clarifying shampoo, no conditioner because she followed up with 4:36 silver ash pre tone instead of conditioner to help balance out a lot of orange pigments before lightener. This is to be more gentle on the hair and rough dried without using conditioner 6:16 Simply bond lightener with 20 volume - her go to choice for color correction but also it held with the strand test 6:47 hair mask she’ll be using as well, it’ll also be a highlight diffuser 7:05 6NUA with developer which will go between foils to help with the orangeish left behind while hair is lifting inside of the foils 7:44 sections - left money piece out and using zigzag sections for more natural diffusion 8:23 Use a Q board? Push up loose hair, put foil on and saturate hair with the lightener. Ends will sometimes receive hydration mask because it’s already lighter at the ends and needs more TLC I guess 9:40 horizontal placement to give the softest lines possible 11:13 side sections and more back pieces 12:03 application explanation - for her it was quicker to apply this way 12:37 smaller zigzags as you get closer to the top and front of the head 13:07 Demi 6NUA applied to hair left outside of foils 13:22 hairs teased left out…this will be taken care of with shadow root/final toner; you can apply the demi, that’s fine 14:20 tons of highs and lows for depth to create a natural look 14:40 money piece because client has fragile hairs in the front 16:09 adding a few more highlights to finish; application throughout was also about control 16:39 processing for 20 minutes 16:47 6NUA & 8 NUA with its dedicated 9 volume developer 6 from the roots to right where the highlights start 6NUA helps to control the copper Blend in 8NUA so there’s a nice graduation from 6 right into an 8 18:25 thoroughly saturating hair with brush, comb, and hands Processed for 20 minutes 18:50 shampoo her and used hydrating conditioner 19:05 styling and blow dry with products used for this too 20:42 Final Results! Wow, looks great! Hope this was helpful for someone, but maybe it wasn’t 🤷🏻♀️
It looks really good in the natural light. I was worried, it was looking kind of muddy to my 👁 under the harsh lights. You always do really beautiful blending.
I am a middle aged man, I colour my hair ash brown over what is now natural grey hair. There is a lot of brassiness. Taking into account my age and natural hair colour of grey now, how I can I prevent the brassiness showing please?
There are some blue and violet shampoos that can help with the brassiness at home. A popular one is Matrix So Silver. However if you wanted to do something a little more clarifying you can get a Crystal Gel treatment in salon and gloss it with a silver toner to help neutralize the brass. Hope this helps.
When you mixed the 6 and 8 did you do equal parts to deposit it on the highlight or 2 different bowls? 6 on the roots and 8 on the highlights? Or both ?😅
Good question! Every color correction is different there more have different prices. This one in particular was close to a $500-$600 process in my salon
That was really informative. I had a lady yesterday who wanted a colour correction. Clients don't understand the processes you have to go through ( 7 hrs I was there). And all she was doing was looking at her watch. It was so off-putting. In the end she was delighted, but I think they think you have a magic wand, to do it in 1 hr 😂 But that was a nice job you did. I've noted down all your products. Tnx
Sometimes, the length of the appointment is all dependent on the clients hair when they walk in. I just try to be as transparent with them, as i walk them through the process
I have a question! My client went to a hairdresser and they coloured her hair a mix of light brown and copper (not what my client wanted) now she is asking my to help her remove the copper and leave her with the colour 30. I think if i remove her colour with the colour zap it would leave me with the copper, if i use a blue shampoo rather than a clarifying one to start the process would that be enough? or do i need a dye toner?
Hey mirrella thank you for another great video I just want to ask that I have declined coming in. She has a brunette red on her. She wants to turn into natural light brown shade 4 what could I do to get that exact colour?
At 4:55 when you say the pre-toner is going to make the lighteners job easier, or "not work as hard" I don't understand how. If anything you're adding pigment when toning, ash pigment to cancel the warmth, so the lightener would then have more to take out, wouldn't it? Unless maybe its a permanent/ammoniated color that would provide lift and then toning?
I can understand why that sounds weird. I like to consider the toner “browning out” the orange so the lift is more clean instead of making the lightener try to remove all the orange by itself.
Here is an old video with the same idea of browning out How to Remove Blue and Green Haircolor ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iUwF3p5U-6g.html
I understand the concept of color theory and how to cancel out warm tones but if the goal is to be lighter I don't understand why you are toning at this stage. A toner is simply a color and any color is adding pigment, making the job of the lightener harder. You were already going back through in between the foils with the base color so it could have just been formulated for then and not put the hair through an extra process.@@MirellaManelli
The toner would be adding blue to tone down the orange and make it appear brown, correct? So you're adding pigment, which you're then going back in and bleaching out. This is the part that I don't understand you saying "so the lift is more clean instead of making the lightener try to remove all the orange by itself."
Part of me wants to send this to my hairdresser, but I’ve also been copper for six years and don’t want to do this to her. 😂 Six hours is impressive, I feel like it’d take my stylist 8+ and she’s amazing.
I want to study with you on everything you’ve got. Could you please let me know all of the info you just said so fast about everything you offer please???
Head to my site and sign up for my email list. MirellaManelli .com/links I have tons of ways for you to work with me there. I’m also doing a tour 2024 ❤️
I went in with SA to even out my canvas. Because her original tone was so brassy/orange I had to go in with a cool prettier to neutralize it. It was all done with purpose, yes the bleach would remove anyways but since the color is ammonia free once the bleach activates the hair it would help essentially mix that underlying pigment that is copper with the cool tone SA. Creating a more neutral lift instead of copper.
My hairdresser made My hair orange 😢😢. And I spent so much. I'm thinking of just buying a box hair dye to. Tone it down at home. Wat color should I go? I can't afford to deal with this anymore 😢😢😢
If you ever get a service done that you dont love you should always go back to your stylist first. If they cant fix it for free then you should seek out another stylist. Box dye can be more expensive to fix if you dont get the color right the first time.
Question: I just got my hair done - i wanted a caramel colour over my already done balayage. We used a toner to achieve it but it came out super coppery. Can i use blue shampoo to tone it down or should i use a brown depositing conditioner to calm it down?
I honestly would contact the salon to see if they can redo the toner for you if its within a reasonable time frame. If not, you can try the blue shampoos. they may help
I’ve really been struggling with this issue. Level 6/7 orange and toning it out without darkening or using lightener. So using just a 6NUA alone isn’t going to make her already pourous hair pull greenish/muddy ? Wouldn’t you want to add a drop of gold or copper to neutralize the coolness?
Ask yourself this: if you are neutralizing copper and gold, why would you add it to your formula that’s neutralizing the copper and gold? NUA is a Natural Ultra Ash. The key word and primary color is natural meaning balanced. The N assures me that my shade will be balanced.
@@MirellaManelli okay. It makes sense. I’ve just had it happen in the past where the hair is very pourous and it then turned like a greenish ugly color. And I was told to add a little warmth even if you are trying to combat warmth to begin with because it reflects light.
Oh girl. I’m a hairstylist. Color correction, 6 hrs is nothing. We have to “on the spot” evaluate, think. It’s a process. Always, always do a color consult, ALWAYS
This was beautifully done . As a hairstylist you create a plan but along the way things change and you really need to work at a slow but quick pace . Keep in mind processing times , washing out times all of these things add up!
