You are an excellent teacher. I have ADD, and your method of explaining things is so focused. Love it.

You have no idea how many videos I watched before finding this video of yours and finally understanding the numbers on the boxes. Thank you so much!

Bless your heart. For two decades I have tried to figure out my hair color. I have Ash brown hair, which is hilarious as that’s also my name. The closest color to my natural color was between a 4/5. You have explained in the most basic way for me to understand

Hun standing ovation for you. You make things so simple and fun to learn.

[kateeadie]

This is so incredibly helpful! I've never had anyone explain it in such understandable terms! And yes I am resetting!

[Rudee-tw]

Can you make a video on additives and when/how/how much to use them? For example, the red/gold additive packets at sallys

[taral]

Omg THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS!!! Girl I have been waitin so long for this!! It costs a fortune at the salon and not everyone can afford $200 and more!!! I can't wait to learn and to understand with your step by step!!! Thank you sooo much girl!! Omg I can hug you lol!!! :)

You are an amazing teacher! I just recently got my hair colored and I’m not sure if I like it. It’s nothing like the pic I showed my hairdresser. Now I’m determined to fix it on my own.

[kathrynmcdaniel]

You are amazing! Haven’t been to a hair salon in years but am maintaining using your tutorial videos! Today I tried a scientific brushing with a wooden brush and my hair has never been so soft. Holy cow! I wish I could figure out how to show a picture but I am white with almost African American curls ( Scot/Irish) that are the bane of my existence. I’ve had Brazilian hair treatments many times and adore them but the toxicity has stopped me and I have just used flat iron curling irons and straighteners pretty much. My hair never “blew in the wind” and I only look decent when I come up from being under water at a pool or something! Anyway thank you. I used keratin and tea tree oils but didn’t have biotin here. Still worked perfectly, felt great and I’m telling you it gives me hope! Ty ty ty ty! I adore you, and your videos on all channels! Love, Kate McD from West Virginia.

I tried the scalp stimulation thingy from your last tutorial. Loved it. Made my hair feel so clean and bouncy the next day when I washed it! Love this series, you’re dope.

[angeladee]

I agree with so many others here that say you are a wonderful teacher, and help make this confusing subject of hair, color, toners, highlights, roots, etc.... so easy to understand and to really learn it. I've been watching many videos on the subject, and no one does it as simple and easy as you do! I thank you so much for this. Do you offer any consulting on hair advice? I need your expertise!!!

[DsMrqz-oocj]

Thank you so much for your teachings!! Never ever understood the science of hair, until now. Of course now you are my where to go for answers related to hair and such.
I also have a playlist dedicated specifically to your videos. Its easier that way to find you 😅.
Gkd Bless you.

[kellinicole]

I love this series and you! I can't wait for the next video to keep learning. Thank you for these videos! 🤗💕

[pas]

You’re so funny I am glad I came across this tutorial hair lesson, I was so confused with all this number on the hair dye box ..now watching you everything is actually making sense👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👍👍..Thank you so much for all this lessons, great awesome teacher cosmology 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

[hailaabiel]

Oh my Goodness where have you been on my hairstylist journey? I am terrified about any color service for simple fact that am not comfortable because I don’t know much and finding a teacher who can beaks it down for me like you do is another story .
I have learned so much already please keep them coming or perhaps offer some class for the newbies please please I will love to learn

[AlexandraBartko-bf]

Love your videos! Always straight to the point with lots of information!! I hate videos when it's like 5 mins of bull lol. Brittnee you always just get right into it and I love that ❤️❤️

[ritaparsons]

Purple blaster works great for getting oil and grease out of clothing, do a test on the inside of your pillow case because it makes some colors run. Also worked great for getting the hair dye off of the countertop. Thanks for the videos, I’m eager to get back to a hair supply store and buy the correct dye for my hair.

[chelleluvseeyore]

Thank you! My second video of you today, and you have been able to teach me how to do this for myself! So, appreciated.
