I have really long hair and my technique is just plopping the dye on and hoping for the best 😁

FINALLY a hair colouring video that doesn't quickly skip the hardest part! WELL DONE❣

[PaulaRamsey-te]

I need to learn this ... as I've gotten older I really learned that you can only really count on yourself

[boybobbette]

a hand mirror. really. to hold with that third hand, i’d imagine. 🙄

[tammygurl]

My hair is very long and I've had major anxiety about messing up but this video makes me feel like I may be ok to do this on my own... maybe. LOL! Thanks! 🙂

Going to prioritize with the back of my head from now on. Have been ditching the clips and rubbing the dye like shampoo lately until tonight, when I had a horrible discovery while I was using my hand-held mirror (which is a must) and was shocked with how much I have missed. Might also need to use two boxes of dye next time.

I now start from the back bottom and pre-section every mini section with duck bill clips. Makes it much quicker and I don’t have to struggle to make a perfect section while dying it.

[cassandralesh]

Make a video showing how to section and divide slices by yourself.
I can't even section my own hair. I can barely brush it without making it worse.

This is a very handy and helpful tips to get a better result.

Wow, a video that actually showed me what I needed 😭I'm lightening my hair at home and I've been struggling to actually get full coverage.

[Tasha-xg]

Thank you this really Gave me a good idea at how to do it myself!

[bhollins]

Should have shown the finished look, for curiosity sake. 😉

[diatribe]

The back of my head has always been tedious and very time consuming! No money to keep going to salons (they’re reopened where I live), no true friends, and one time, I tried to get hubby’s help, but even with gloves on, he got a noticeable allergic reaction.
I’ve always been starting from the top of the back of the head, but I think that next time, I will go from the bottom upwards, since you said that it’s more helpful for medium to long hair.

What color hair dye is that it's so beautiful

[tracyb]

If you buy Loreal Excellence creme hair color there is a comb looking thing with holes in them that you screw onto the bottle of color and it makes it much easier to do at home. Of course then you can't use esalon color but at least you get all your roots done.

I dont have a problem coloring the back of my head when im applying one color. What im having trouble with is color melting or bleaching or highlighting pieces since i cant feel where one color ends and one begins. Tips on that?

[annettecilley]

I have brown hair with grey roots and I want to go blonde. How do I do this and not have really bright roots and the rest normal blonde

[logger]

i noticed that you would put the color on both the upperpart of the split and the lower part under the split. what if i am touching up an undercolor dye? how do i avoid getting lightener on my undyed hair?

[row]

I'm quite surprised you have started with the front when all of the recommendations are to do the front last to avoid overly bright colour around the hairline and over absorption

[Sailorsecretindistress]

If you're using blonde you must start applying from the roots first
