From what brand, level, shade or type of color, I go over it all. Hope this helps your next at home color session. Thank you for watching.

Can you do a root cover video on if you are 100% grey root and want to cover to blonde to tone done the white root
For a natural look used a Demi color with volume 10% developer . Will need to leave on 45 minutes. Blends softly without a harsh line and no brassiness as it fades.
Hi, thank you for your video. In the past I’ve watched your videos on how to blonde my hair. After a few tries, my blonde was achieved. In a notebook, I wrote down formulas used and processing times. Unfortunately during pandemic lockdown, I lost interest in keeping up as most products were hard to find or order online. Moving forward, I want to thank you for all your advise on hair care and color. You’re the best, All the best! 💕
Thank you for this sweet message and so happy you have mastered your perfect color at home!!
You've been helping me with my hair for 10 years Silvia! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 💓
this makes me so happy!!
Love your explanations!! Thank you!
I love these videos where you explain color! Later this month I’m getting highlights, but I’ve been having trouble explaining what I want to my stylist. I think I’m a level 3 and I want subtle, like only 2-3 levels lighter: low maintenance and can grow out nicely. I just don’t know what to expect with the tone I lift? I am perfectly fine with some warmth though. It’s just hard to articulate what I would like, I’ve never had any color besides a gloss over my natural color.
But still these videos are super helpful so thank you for putting this content out there!!
Helpful! Thank you!!❤
You are sooo helpful! Thank you!
I'm a natural blonde (level 7-8) and have just started noticing few first gray hair that aren't too noticeable and also watching your videos about color for the future before I decide what to do without ruining my budget lol.
Now I'm definitely equipped with more knowledge about coloring my hair no matter if I will be able to afford box dye only or go to my hairdresser and get them highlited, I'm definitely more aware what to avoid. thanks for educating us!❤❤
so happy this helped!
Thank you for such an informative video.
Thank you so much for this video!!!😊

So informative. Thank you Sylvia. ❤
Glad this helped and thank you for being here!
Thanks so much for your videos! They're so helpful ❤ I'm wondering what color you use for your roots? Love the color you get (I'm also a level 5-6 naturally)
Love your hair color in this video.
Thank you for this video . Your are the best. I love all your video ♥️
thank you + your name is gorgeous!
Very helpful. I was toning my hair with Manic Panic Ultraviolet mixed into my conditioner to get rid of brass and it worked too. That was a CZcams hack for a while.
This video is very focused on wanting a cool/ashy hair color result which isn't what I'm going for at all, but I'll share anyway. I've naturally very ashy light brown hair (level 5-6) and bleached the ends/mids to a golden tone in an ombre style. I loved the golden but it looked kinda funky with such a cool base. Or rather the cool base looked funky in contrast to the warm blonde. To fix that, I thought of toning down the golden to an ashy blonde, but I've warm skin undertones and don't pull off ashy/icy hair colors particularly well. They tend to make me look a bit washed out. So, I wanted to change my cool base color instead of my warm blonde.
For a warm base, I feel like there are more options. I dunno if you agree, but I think you can go with either a warm brown or red. So I contemplated between those two options. I've had chocolate brown with golden ends before which looked amazing, but I've rarely ever had red hair in my life, so I decided to go for a red base this time, just to change things up. The tricky part though was finding what kinda red would 1) match the tone of my blonde bits, 2) be dark enough to cover my natural color but light enough to not just be buried in excess pigment, and 3) how to prevent it from staining the blonde.
Somehow I succeeded on all 3 points. I found a copper red that works really well with the golden blonde, and blended with an orange color inbetween to avoid a harsh transition. The copper tone color I found was a permanent color to use on dry hair, so I needed to do that one first. The orange color I found was a toner to use on damp hair, so I added that as a second step. I didn't wanna risk a bad chemical reaction by doing both at the same time because they were two different types of color.
Also I went with a permanent dye for the copper because my natural color is quite dark and extremely ashy. Like it almost looks gray. And I wanted to make sure the red really stuck to it. Douzing the blonde parts in a ton of conditioner helped keeping it from getting stained. As a result my hair now goes from copper red, to ginger orange, to soft gold, and I'm really happy with the result.
Fyi, I'm not a hair expert in any way, and this fiery ombre is definitely the most advanced I've done so far. But that's my experience with "choosing a base color" for a warm, partially blonde, hair color. And yes, the blonde I worked with was that kinda typically hated, brassy transition from brown to orange to yellow that often (always?) happens when bleaching brown hair. I didn't use any (violet/blue or yellow based) toner on it at all.
Hi! Great video!
What is your toner in this video?
Love your videos. If your roots are a 2-3 and you have gray hair creeping in and you are getting blond highlights what is the best root color?

Hi, can you explain please if is correct to mix colors from different levels. Im asking for root shadows. What is the best for you? thanks
My hair is veryyy light. I have all white gray. Someone told me yesterday that she thought I bleached it platnium blonde. I'm 58 but in my 20's my hair was a dish water blonde that I pulled through a cap and bleached till it was white for light highlights. I like your color. I want to pull my hair through a cap and apply color. What color do you recommend to get your look?
I used a Demi on my roots and it just never washed out. I have fine hair that used to naturally blonde fading to grey and it seemed to be permanent on me. Does hair type inform the volume developer you need?
I'm a 1-2 naturally (dark brown). But I'm now a 8-9 medium blonde with extensions. Now my problem is my really hair turns so brassy very fast and there's some spots that go organe brassy tint. It's a very light sheen tint but I notice it.
My extensions stay the same which is great. Now I recently went ash blonde and got a toner put in and I really love it but desired level is level 10 but ashier/neutral. I want balayage or highlights but my stylist says my hair is too thin and she's scared to go that light.
Is there a way to compromise? I don't mind getting only my extensions going that light and avoid my real hair. I can agree to baby lights? What do you suggest I ask for? I don't mind I just want my hair some blend with that level 10 ashy blond color.
I'm around a natural level 8 more on the cool side with a lot of greys coming though at my temples. I don't want to change my hair colour and I'm happy with the undertone. Can I use a gloss to help disguise the greys? And if so how do I know what shade to go for? I'm afraid if I go for a lighter/darker one it'll change my hair colour
Elle what do you think about Wella Special Mix?
Thank you 👍🏻💐
🤎🤎
I tried to find your hairline but it does not let me go to your shop page. Is it still there? I want to start doing my own hair and i like your videos because you show me what to do. What is a good hair brand that I can buy to help do my root touchups? I have greys coming in mostly by my ears on the sides. My natural hair color is pretty close to yours and want to buy Sallys brands. But where can I buy and find redkin?
So ive neen using ION vol 30 for years with a magenta violet im looking at changing it. Im a neutral warm tone olive skin whats ur thought on a grey color with a warmer dark brown roots? Obviously i have to bleach my current color.. looking for a serious change
I have natural salt and pepper virgin hair and I want to go the lightest natural brown as possible without using bleach. What combination of color and developer should I use.
Do I use the color I want to achieve with a 20 or 30 developer? In my case do I use a natural medium brown or a blonde to get the lightest result? And what developer do I use to get the lightest outcome. Help!
I love your hair! What level and undertone is this?
Your hair is looking amazing 😻
Thank you 🤎
Where can I buy Redken cover fusion?
For gray coverage I like Redken covergray. I have been doing 7nn or 8nn and still pull some warmth. Maybe I should add some ash?
Redken's Cover fusion is best for gray coverage
@@Ellebangsyes! Thats the one.
Thanks so much for your videos! what color do you dye your hair roots?Thanks
My base color changes. My last root touchup, I used a mix of 7NN + 6AG by Redken!
@@Ellebangs Thanks 😊❤️
Vous êtes formidable !!!
Merci!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm still confused about toning. If your roots are a 6 but your highlights are an 8, and your lowlights are a 5-6, what level is your toner? I'm about 25-30% gray. Thank you in advance!
Your toner would be an 8 and your root smudge if you do it would be a 5 or 6.
Thank you! @@gypsyananda
Remember that the toner doesn't really cover grey no matter what level you are at. It can slightly blend it though. Only a permanent will really cover grey
Very helpful. Could you explain the Redken shades? What is the difference between and N and NN? What’s best for grey coverage and q2-3 week root touch up at home?
I would love to do a video dedicated to Redken's shades EQ- In terms of gray coverage, an NN is always best!
@@Ellebangs thanks! Looking forward to your Redken video. I’ve never used the system and it would be very helpful
@@EllebangsYes please!!!! And if you could ever mention best Sally dupes for the products and shades that would be the most helpful for all us unlicensed dyi-ers at home. Like how makeup channels show and compare a highend makeup product & shade lipstick and then a dupe that looks and feels/works similar/same. There’s nothing really like that I trust online and would be unique highly valued new content for your channel and current viewers and no doubt add new viewers!
I’ve read mixed things on Sally’s generic Shades EQ and thought that could be a fun experiment if you a mannequin and did a range of different swatch sections shades EQ and same equivalents generic Sally’s on other side of head.
Also thought it’d be awesome to see different levels colored & toned in terms of showing swatches on mannequin with varying level natural base colors and what happens when same products/shades are used to help us or newbies understand how to properly pick colors/levels and what it looks like on wrong levels.
Almost all CZcamsrs use a level 7 mannequin virgin hair base to test, when in reality most people who are DIY and scared are 2-3, 4-6 which everyone makes fun of the fails but never truly show start to finish what to pick and what to avoid.
Just a thought for content options if you ever run out of material (impossible ever since Tick Tok lol)
Thank you for sharing your gift with such empathetic, patient and understandable teaching methods. So rare in the beauty world for DIY hair. Most of us are so broke in this economy and rebuilding still since 2020, so you’re a HUGE value and gift to us all! I appreciate you and pray huge blessings for you and your family! 💕
What eyeshadow pallet do you use and what color do you have on your eyes in this video. I love it.
I filmed a whole updated makeup video thsi week on this look. I will be posting soon as a Wednesday day vlog video soon!
Not permanent color on the length tho. I read somewhere it’s damaging. Only semi or demi ? Not sure which one
If u use 15 vol is that considered a semi??? What’s semi vs Demi?
15 VOL is considered a Demi. A semi-perm is less permanent than a demi.
@@Ellebangs so what vol would u consider a semi??
I’m sorry I didn’t understand...DRHS by L’Oréal is the name?
My question, too! Please explain!
The Demi permanent L’Oréal name is Dia Richesse (sold on amazon and eBay)
@@Southerncharmed thank you!
I want to as blonde as I can be so badly but I’m nervous because my hair is fine and I don’t want to destroy it.
