Going Gray The Easy Way! Overtone Conditioner In Three Shades Of Silver

Рет қаралды 280,385

Күн бұрын

Three years ago, I transitioned to gray by bleaching my hair and dyeing it silver. Now, I'm doing it again. Using three shades of Overtone Conditioner. Hopefully this video will be of some use to anyone transitioning their hair, tinting their own extensions and hair pieces or just looking to rock a fabulous gray tone! This video shows the entire process. If you want to skip the application and go right to the review, start at 10:00.

I'm 53 and have not seen my natural color since I was a teen. I am fed up with dying or bleaching my hair and am claiming my inner crone. I'm WAY more white than I thought and looking for ways to more gently grow it out without a major line of demarcation. Thank you for this video.

My hair has grown out now after just 4 months without dyeing. I kept going a shade lighter in blonde until i reached a very similer colour to my roots. Now after 4 months, I'm snow white, beautiful pale silver

You were my first gray transition person to watch and you gave me great inspiration. I just turned 55 and started turning gray at 16. So happy to not color anymore!!!

Great video! I just used the pastel Silver Overtone last night to soften my grow out line. I am 3 months dye free and this really cooled down the dyed hair and the line between is softer. I didn't put it on my gray... just on the brown I am growing out. LOVE it.

Maybe a cool brown/grey it will cover any brunette shades but not necessarily Pastel because brown is far from Pastel but if the dyed hair has a similar grey tone as the roots it WILL look better. If you plan on seeing a stylist do not do overtone it won't lift out

I made the decision to go natural last week after a talk with my stylist, I wear my hair short so don't have much of my light blond color left. Been coloring my hair for a long time, but with everything shut down due to the virus I think there is no better time to switch. 10 days until my appointment and I can hardly wait after nearly 3 months without a cut and salon care.

Boy, your fearless dear. ! Since I went grey at 58, I too have been playing the “what is my hair color today?” Game. My hair goes whiter at the roots then goes to grey at the ends. So right now I’m just coloring my roots a platinum blonde. Then I keep it a grey tint with my purple shampoo 1x a week. Works well. So I now will do the same with my extensions.

It came out really nice! I’ve got some beautiful really good quality golden blonde (might have to bleach first, think they’re a medium golden blonde) extensions from many years back when I was still dying my hair. I had the very same idea of trying to dye them, some in some wild colours (I’m really itching for colour, but can’t decide extensions would be the perfect answer - could use some volume as well), the rest silver. The pastel silver looks like it might be best for trying to match my hair, as like you mine is very silvery/ white. I did have a look on their website - no white, just various shades of silver you used. If you do this please show! Fab video, thanks for introducing me to a new silver hair product! Jet🧡🎸🎶⚡️🦇🦋

I sent my mother a picture of myself at my son's wedding in October 2017. She stated that I had not even gone grey, but strongly white. Thank you for staying true to the process. It is very liberating. I eventually sent my mother a second picture of my white hair intermixed with my dark grey hair in the back while my son and I were dancing at his wedding. I will be 56 in mid March.

I bought the VPFashion ponytail extension in the lightest color available and used purple shampoo (which was by Fanola - no yellow) it turned the most beautiful shade of light silver and matched my lightest part of my now natural grey/silver hair. Ive been in transition for 8 months and still have the bleached ends of about 2 inches before Im all natural. The very front of my natural hair is almost a white silver, which darkens as you go back and down on my head. Very happy.

I used Overtone silver a few years back on my bleached hair when I was transitioning to gray. Back then I think they only had one shade of silver. The overtone tended to pull blue on my hair so I had to be careful not to leave it on too long. I no longer use it once I finished my transition.

I saw that KZfaq and it wasn’t just from the overtly high temp on her flat iron, she used peroxide, baking sode as well as a multitude of steps that lead her to a chemical cocktail or residual metals in her hair that the overtly hot hot iron brought to a head (pun intended) and the heat was a catalyst to give her that wacky heat reaction. Don’t blame the hot iron. Blame the alleged hairstylist who wouldn’t go get color corrected yet she put some of the worst chemical combos on her head, ones that NO alleged stylist would EVER do, under the guise of “I don’t want to color correct it because they’ll use bleach”. Maybe in 1972. So....facts people. Facts.

@SuperBeadgirl 5 жыл бұрын

Tovah saw it. I’m pretty sure she just wanted to go back to dying which I really don’t care, but viewers are not dumb, she should have just been honest about it. After the first pass of the flat iron she should have stopped, yet she kept going for effect. Whatever. Part of going grey is being honest about our natural selves. She doesn’t do it for me so I unsubscribed. No biggie.

Hi Monique, I think you did a fantastic job on colouring the wig. Just a thought, if you are able to colour it again I'd just do the pastel colour only and leave it for another 20 mins. Because you started with the darkest colour first the underneath layer had a lot longer processing time than the top layer. I don't know what effect dyeing again will have on the wig as don't know if the dye is permanent, perhaps the wig makers could advise.

I use oVertone Extreme Red Treatment on my already red colored hair to intensify the color between applications. The difference between the three types (pastel, vibrant, extreme) is the amount of pigment in the product. Extreme has the most pigment and pastel has the least, that would explain the difference in "purple" casting you're seeing at the bottom vs. the top :)
