    NEW VIDEO ON TONING WITHOUT DEVELOPER
    • Updated Toned Hair Rou...
    Hi there! Thanks for watching!
    Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more videos!
    This is a method I've been using for a few years to tone my hair and I added a trick to prolong my balayage ombre/highlights by darkening my roots and melting it together! It is quick, easy, and affordable to do! The products together are roughly $20 or less (If you have a sally's members card and/or existing tools).
    PRODUCTS USED:
    Wella 20 Volume Cream Developer
    Wella Permanent Liquid Hair Color 4A/237 Medium Ash Brown
    Wella Permanent Liquid Toner T18 Lightest Ash Blonde
    Mixing Bowl & Brush (You can buy a set or separately at Sally's)
    Fine Tooth Comb
    Rubber Gloves
    If you have a dark base and you use the toner over, it will lift some color! Which can be a good or bad thing depending on your intended target. This is why I darken my roots and blend it down to avoid the unnecessary lift of my darker base.

    My dark brown hair was highlighted about 2 months ago. I paid over $300 for the service and I could barely stand to look at it. I looked like a Jersey Shore wannabe with tacky, brassy highlights. With about $12, your amazing video, and the help of my boyfriend, I now have beautifully toned highlights and perfectly blended roots. You are helping thousands of women fix their botched dye jobs! Thank you for sharing this. May the hair gods bless you, always :)

      Same i just went to the salon for the first time, they did a terrible job, i do it better myself and now I’m trying to fix my brassy hair. Hopefully this shadow root method works for me

      Thank you for this! This happened to me a week ago! The lady did “bayalage” but I look like I have brassy blonde (that was suppose to be bronde) hair from 2002. I look like a bumble bee. Excited to get my hair fix today with this !

  • @manalcordoba5435
    @manalcordoba5435 Před rokem +13

  • @VeganBunny816
    @VeganBunny816 Před 3 lety +2

    Thank you for this video! It saved my hair color! I paid $300 for a bad balayage..it came out brassy and too light at the top. This was exactly what I needed. I wanted to darken and blend the roots and tone my blond color. So happy with how my hair looks now!! I love how your video was simple and easy to follow!

  • @trinihunie
    @trinihunie Před 4 lety +28

    I know this video is old but I just want to say thank you! I went to my stylist to get my balayage refreshed since it grew out, she left me with orange roots and orangey red highlights. My balayage colors are ash tones so this freaked me out. She put a toner and it barely made a difference. I went back a 3rd time because I couldn’t live like this and she said there was nothing she could do. I refused to believe that so I went to a different salon and this stylist, well she evened out the orange roots however she added more highlights so now I looked like a raccoon. I was left with stripey yellow/orange highlights. Sitting at home in tears with no hope left searching CZcams, I found your video. I had half a bottle of wella 2n which is close to my base color, and seeing how easy your technique was, I decided to try to “melt” it. At this point I had nothing left to lose. It worked! My hair looks beautifully balayaged again! From now on I’m going to maintain my hair myself since these 2 professionals screwed my hair up. Thank you! Thank you! 💗

    • @Samwise_92
      @Samwise_92 Před 3 lety +3

      Next time that happens, ask for a refund! I just had a hair disaster from a "professional' but I kindly and firmly asked for my money back, and she gave it back. I needed it to buy stuff to fix my hair! All this lady was going to do it wash my hair with clarifying shampoo after she left spots all over my head,and made my hair also way too dark and red when it was supposed to be mushroom brown. My hair was all over platinum blonde and now its completely ruined!

  • @MMRoth515
    @MMRoth515 Před 3 lety +13

    I did this and started feeling like I was doing a really sloppy job. I was scared. Well it came out beautiful just like yours! The ashy color combination and the combing was what I think makes this work so well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜

I don’t have to go back to the salon just to get results I don’t like. I love my hair now thanks to you!! This technique worked amazingly! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Thanks for this video! I'm going to try this process on my hair. I just bleached my roots all the way to my scalp after letting them grow out about 2 inches with my natural ash brown color which now has more grays than ever before. Lol! I was going to try and live in a full blonde for a while, but now think I want to do a root melt like yours and then tone down my length.

    this is a wayy better way than doing the root smudge w/ demi permanent color, it's suuuuch a nightmare & doesn't look pretty getting dark blotches on your blonde highlights. demi permanent is like straight up hair dye, where it lands it's painting dark w/ no time to wash & fade it out 😭 thank yeww!

      @chelseaamaureen6993 Před 3 lety +3

      10 volume developer deposits only (meaning it is being added to the hair) 20, 30 and higher developer is stronger and is used for lifting color so when used for deposit only, it may lighten the hair one shade because of the strength. Hope that helps!

I’ve read not to use permanent hair dye on the roots as a root shadow or root melt...but yours turned out gorgeous. How does it fade? Is it pretty much like the beginning of the video? I thought that looked good too; no harsh lines! Thanks!

  • @alexaovalles9504
    @alexaovalles9504 Před 6 lety

    I tried this and followed every step and let me tell you I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. Ash Brown is my natural hair color but ever since I got highligths its been a nightmare. I had to cut my hair short trying to get rid of them but the rest of the hair would keep turning orange and looking brassy. Purple shampoo and other dyes did not work but this one certainly covered everything and gave me my Ashy lovely brown! Thank you for the tutorial :)

    • @cristensullivan819
      @cristensullivan819 Před 6 lety

      Alexa Ovalles this sounds like a very stupid question but do you wash out the base color before putting the toner on or do you add the toner once you’ve done all the ash brown and just blend it all together and then wash it? I’m confused if you need to wash it in between each step?

    • @alexaovalles9504
      @alexaovalles9504 Před 6 lety

      Hi Cristen, I didn't do the toner part, I actually just used the brown ash base and spread it towards the ends but without touching where I had some leftovers of highlights. Also, I bought the liquid bottle of the dye instead of the cream cause it was easier to mix. The product does smell really strong but it covers your current color almost as soon as it touches your hair. I washed the brown after waiting almost 45 minutes and that obviously touched the ends so the ends were dyed a little but no dark brown.

    • @beccamartin8533
      @beccamartin8533 Před 6 lety

      Cristen Sullivan you do the ash brown toner, comb it down, don’t wash it out then add the ash blonde toner and comb down the brown it blend it

    • @Jessica-fy6eu
      @Jessica-fy6eu Před 11 měsíci

      That’s the same question I have. Do you do the roots leave it in and then work your way up with the ash toner. Comb it down from root to get a good blend and then wash it? Or do you wash it in between the toners

    Excellent ! simple I wanted to know how to apply some ash brown to a friend’s long hair to add texture interest ? Her hair is med - light brown. I messed her up once by using a ‘cool’ ash tone that promised no red or orange and her hair came out orangey red. No idea why.

    I did I melt last night, my hair is pretty blonde. It was nicely blended but the brown bled into the blonde and now it looks grey-ish/silver-ish. I did use toner but nothing. Is there anything I could do or try so I can get a bit of the blonde back?

    So using the developer with the toner is not bleach right? Im looking to die my roots to an ash brown but i do not want to use bleach since my hair is already bleach blonde

    What’s the difference between using a 10 vol and a 20 vol developer for the 4A? Which vol should I use?

  • @scottishroad_pinoy9084

    Perfection. For the roots, you used the whole bottle and how much developer did you actual do? I have the same length of hair you have. Do I pour the developer into the bottle only one time? I’m going to buy this now. Let me know. Ty this is one of the BEST hair tutorial

    Great video. I have a question though, why was 20 volume used for the 4 level base? Wouldn't a 10 volume be bette
