I now understand the process of lightening. I am not licensed, but I have been doing my own hair for years. I learned how to highlight and ombre. I understood the level my hair needed to be to get certain colors to show more, but my hair is so naturally dark, I never knew or understood how to get to a level 9 or 10 without damaging my hair with lightener. For this reason, I've been too afraid to try my entire head of hair. Ty. This video is permanently saved to my playlist for reference.

I had no idea that permanent dye wasn’t adding colour you buy but the tone you need to get to the colour. Thanks so much for explaining !!! All makes sense now 💕

[kirstenwebster]

Great video, thank you for this. Can you do a video about grey hair? Talk about how best to cover them but also what options you have if you want to work with them or if you want to go grey gracefully. Thanks 😊

[MsCdngrrl]

So good! I learned so much and if someone just explained like you did, I would have have never started chasing something I couldn’t have.

I just went to cosmetology school without leaving my home... great video all around! Very informative, well spoken, and great quality. Thank you!

[marilynrios]

Yessss 👏 thank you, I’m going thru this right now with my bayalage. I’m a level 2 trying to get to a level 8! I’m on my second bayalage due next week and my stylist was trying to explain to me my hair will only lift so much and more red will come out. So it’s a slow process but she cares about the integrity of my hair and will not over process. I understand it better now from how u explained it & your handy dandy charts! Thanks soo much 😃

[traceylynn]

My natural hair is a level 3 and through your videos i was able to get to a level 9/10 🥳 I’ve always wondered why when my roots grow out why they lift so perfectly now. Like they don’t go through that crazy orange/yellow phase anymore. Why is that? Does it just depend on the quality of the bleach? I’ve found the Schwarzkopf blonde me is absolutely amazing! It keeps the hair integrity and I only have to use the 20 developer 🙌 thanks for you great content in each and every video 💛

THE most intelligent, informative video on hair color on the net! Thank you gorgeous!

[xTriinuux]

I know my hairdresser for 8 years. Your vids help me to understand how it works so I don't want him to make my hair platinum blonde in one go anymore 🤣 and it's waaaay easier to explain him what I want + it's way easier for him to tell me f.e. what I can do to maintain my hair or how to prepare it before next appointment. Thanks! 💙

[carrieb]

Hi, I'm so glad I found your channel! I've had my hair colored for many years, both by professional stylists and me. I used to work as a receptionist at a salon; I learned more than I used to (which was nothing!) after working there several years. Anyway, I'm still really interested in learning about color and I am looking forward to learning from you!❤

[rachelyoung]

This was so good to hear honesty by a professional

[StarPanda]

Sadly I never heard any hairdresser say no. Even when the hair can not take bleach at all.

[dominiquedevereux]

YES 👏🏾!! I'm glad you explain WHY a certain hair choice might not be advantageous 4 a person depending on different factors as opposed 2 telling them it isn't possible cuz most times (from my experience) when a hair dresser has told me or some1 else that something isn't achievable on their hair, that's code for: "I don't PERSONALLY know as a stylist how to give you what you want" or "I'm not confident enough in my skills to pull off your desired results." OR "I'm just too lazy 🤷🏾‍♀️💅🏿 & have other things I'd rather do, " which has happened to me as I've seen a stylist do on someone else's hair the very same thing they claim they can't do on mine & I know my hair is just as, if not HEALTHIER than the other person's hair cuz I was in ear/👀shot of the consultation they gave the other person. Very few things are not achievable on a person's hair save the exception that the integrity/health of their hair is too compromised at the time. But explaining to them that it is possible, BUT it just may require MORE visits & 💵 doesn't leave your client feeling unimpowered & hopeless. I prefer knowing the cold-hard facts so I know how to proceed --- IF I want to --- to be the better choice. Thank you for that 😌🙏🏾.

Thank you! I wish my hairdresser explained this to me when I was making my hair color blind decisions! So simple and clear!

[jacqui]

I have been watching your videos for years.. they are so helpful! I love watching them and following you on insta as well; you and Adam are so fabulous!

[traytyler]

Although this video was uploaded 3yrs ago, I wanted to thank you for the breakdown of hair color.
