Heads up for anyone who’s coloring at home but shopping at Sally’s beauty!
I went in the other day with full knowledge about the fact that for brunette the only way to tone is with a deposit only solution and they sell a Eq shades generic version of this as well as a gloss. I found the gloss but couldn’t locate the solution so the worker said “you could use a 20v or 10v it’s the same thing” I had to explain to her that it isn’t and that a deposit only is the only way I won’t be left with orange hair so be careful y’all the workers there don’t actually know the deal. Listen to the professionals like this beauty above.

Thank you so much for the tea for us brunette girls cause everything is about blondes when it come to hair color

Can you post a video about mixing the the ash green with what color extra to fix the brass?

[dippednailz]

What if your hair is naturally like that with tons of red pigments and goes like that? I have brown hair naturally and it always goes red copper

[jsmohshm]

Soooo good tips!!! It's so hard to find good videos about this because so few of us has really brassy and red tones. All DIY never works on my hair and now I know why! 😊

My hair is level 7 brown now . What toner should I use if I want to make my hair ashy brown ? 6 AG? What brand do you recommend?

[melindawalvisch]

Best clear and simple explanation of how coloring over red/orange actually works and how you can approach it I've seen yet - thank you!!

[kimwold]

I totally agree, green based hair dyes are great for brunettes trying to go a couple of levels lighter, I've been using them for years now. I actually found them in Mexico because our hair pigmentation is darker but now that I live in Germany, it's just so different I gotta find new brands that carry that. Italian brands like fanola are a good option here

[kellynicole]

Thanks for explaining this about toning dark hair

[renam]

By the way I love the more brunette geared videos because hello🙋‍♀️! We're here too! Love your videos Elle😁

[mrsdoubtfire]

🙋🏽‍♀️ Does chelating the hair remove toner? OR does chelating the hair remove unwanted heavy metals, products waxes, silicones etc…and lighten/brighten highlighted areas? OR can both be true? I always feel like toner needs to be reapplied after chelating or using detox shampoos.

My hair was BOTCHED and I mean badly by a stylist putting low lights and root smudge using a permanent color. I was perfect highlighted blonde with just using bleach highlights and simple tone on my level 5.5 hair. Took me 2 years to try to get orange out and did so damaging my hair and being darn near solid blonde blonde (from many stylists trying). So, after that ordeal, I finally have my hair with lots of regrowth and go see a new girl. I explained NEVER perm in my hair ever! She did a great job first time and I was finally happy...so I thought! Next time, 9wks later I go back to her and because I was more solid blonde (from issues before) she wanted some lowlights to bring down a bit. Yeah, sound good, but ONLY with Semi or I will just wait! Well, what do you know...she puts that darn perm color in hair and sure enough lifts all that regrowth to that perfect shade of copper that I HATE so much. So, here I am again growing hair back out and only doing straight highlights/toner but I can NOT get the mid part of my hair gone of the copper! Near 3 years of tears!

Hi Elle! Do you still do virtual consultations? I'm in need of some help/advice on at home hair color. Please let me know! Thanks!

[josiecruz]

Hello, I bleached my hair and I’m trying to get the color you have, what color should I put on roots, also how do I avoid bleeding the root color onto my bleached hair, somehow it always happens. Please help 🙏

[tw.]

This is SO helpful. Love your awesome videos. ❤

[Sportsnight-ko]

so helpful, thanks elle you are a star

[WendorfPhD]

Hi Elle, how do I get a hair consult? I got highlights and they are a disaster.
Thanks

[victoriawhitney]

My hair naturally has copper tones in it and I highlighted my hair and used a toner with 20 vol. and safe to say it definitely lifted my hair 😔 I found a gloss+toner in my bathroom that was too light when I was brunette so let’s hope that it works 🤞🏻

[EvaVanDeFolk]

Green is the best toner for brunettes. Like if you put tomato sauce on blonde hair that’s gone green from chlorinated water. It’s colour theory. And you are very clear in helping us in understanding those rules applied to hair colouring.

I am naturally dark blonde to brown hair and i want to go light/med blonde without bleach and without yellow or reds tones after coloring how do i achieve this thanks! The lady at Sallys beauty had me put T18 wella and 20 vol on hair and it lifted slighty but left red tones to my hair 😕 and did not lift ro my desired blonde!
