Haha thanks Michael! 😅 Glad it helped!

they knew more than ya didnt they

what's wrong about teenagers?

Don't look at age, look at knowledge. If they know what they're talking about and you can verify that with your own research, then that's all that matters.

If you're a stay-at-home Mom or nanny to teens, then it's refreshing to hear from another adult. I get it, although mine are all grown except my youngest child. I also get the frustrated feeling about ageism. It works both ways! I do my best not to knock what I'm not, yet or any longer!

Sara that sounds so pretty!! 🤩 I think silver and purple is one of my favorite combinations. 😊 Enjoy!!

Yayy! 😄 Thank you! I love having the little peek-a-boo strip! 😁

Ohh purple would be super cute! 🤩

Oh excellent!! 😃 So glad it's helpful! 😁 There are a lot of fail videos out there; that's why I'm pretty careful with bleach 🙈

My hair is very dark brown as well, after I died it a couple of weeks ago (I'm 69 and it's naturally gray). I also want to put a couple of pink streaks in it.

Same!im dying mine blue but with a streak of red 😂

Hi Lily! There wasn't much of the back that I didn't show; I just pushed the bleach and the color up to the roots as much as I could. It's hard to see yourself, since it's kinda in the back of your head - so getting a friend to help is always good, to make sure you get all up in the roots! 😊

Hey Trinity! I'm so glad! 😁

Amie thank you so much for this correction! Always trust the experts! 😁

@@MarissaExplains haha for sure! If anyone is unsure they can always go to their colorist. I did a ridiculous amount of research before doing my own hair color. I change it far too often to be able to afford to get it done lol But honestly it's just hair 🤷‍♀️ fun to play!

@@MarissaExplains thanks for making the video! Happy to see more and more people using Sally's, not just using box dye 😁 👍 yay for more control of result

🥳🥳 Thanks for watching! 🥰

Thanks so much!! 😃 I like the extra little color. 😆

@@MarissaExplains your welcome

Lol! 😂 She has a mind of her own, especially when it's time for food. 😁

Hi Donna! Oh that's great you're giving it a go! 🤗 I like the look of pink with brown hair - I hope it turns out as you are expecting! A streak will still show up in a ponytail, and will be a great little bit of fun to brighten it up. 😁 Good luck!!

Hi! What color are you thinking? 😊 I used foil because it's the method they use at hair salons - it keeps the bleach contained and off your neck so it doesn't bleach your skin, and the heat from being in the foil helps the bleach process. 😁

Hi!! It's safe to do back to back! It's how the professionals do it in hair salons. 😁 Just be sure to dry the hair after it's lightened - color should be applied to dry hair, and doesn't work well (if at all) on wet hair. 😊 Good luck!

Hi Angie! I used the Wella Color Charm Cream Developer, in a 20 volume from Sally Beauty Supply: www.sallybeauty.com/hair/hair-color/developer/color-charm-20-volume-creme-developer/WELLA24.html 😊 As for lasting a long time, I definitely saw more success with the Ion Color Brilliance, but it could have something to do with the color I chose and not so much the brand. With Ion Color Brilliance, the blue and teal colors lasted the longest - then purple and pinks not as long but still a while (maybe a few months?) The Chi Ionic color lasted a couple weeks before fading lighter and lighter, but it could be because red rinses out faster. I'd be curious to see if another color in that brand lasted longer! If you go to my videos list and start looking at the videos I posted after, you can get a sense of how quickly it faded. I think for all the effort of mixing the developer, it was worth it just to use the Ionic Color Brilliance and not have to mix anything. 😝 Good luck!!

im doing mine blue

I didn't make any more videos, but I have been dyeing a streak of hair like this for years! 🤗 Good luck! 😃

Thank you so much! 🥰 I love changing the color depending on the time of year 😁

Hi Jennifer! Absolutely; it's 8RV which is described as 'Extra Light Red Violet Plus'. If you watch the videos after this one on my channel, you can see how fast it fades out. I think it's just the nature of reds to fade more quickly, but other colors I've tried lasted much longer. 😊

Hi Donna! You would need to lighten the hair with bleach first! It should lighten the brown dye you have on top. If you're hesitant and want assurance it will be done right, I would ask your local salon to do a couple pieces for you! 🤗

Hi! I don't know of any long term damage to lightening hair, as long as it's done correctly. 😊 If the hair does become more dry as a result of the bleach, you can simply let that piece grow out!

Absolutely! Just use a different piece of foil for each strand. 😊 If you want to dye your whole head, check out videos from Brad Mondo. He's a hairdresser that has a lot of good tips for proper bleaching techniques! 😁

That's great! 😃 I wish my mom would have let me dye my hair at 14. 😊 The bleach kit is about $10, and the color dye is about $6 or $7. You can usually get a couple applications out of the bleach if you're just dying one strip. And you can get a few applications of the dye too - you don't use a ton for just a piece! 😊

@@MarissaExplains good to know, thanks!

You can do whichever side you would like it to peek out of... I have mine pulled from the middle in the back, so I can flip it on either side of my shoulder. 😊

Hi Jan! 👋 In my opinion it depends on how much you want it to show... If you want it prominent, you can select a piece on top where it will show all the time. If you want it more hidden, you could pull a section of hair like I did from the underside, so it's partially covered. I would look at pictures of other people's streaks and see what you like best. Then if you want to be precise, you can section a square of hair to color, or you can wing it like I did and just grab a bunch without making a nice neat section at the scalp. 🤗

I really liked all the colors I tried from the Ion color brilliance line! Especially the blue and aqua tones - they lasted the longest. www.sallybeauty.com/hair-color/shop-by-type/semi-permanent-hair-color/brights-semi-permanent-hair-color/ION153.html

Lol! Yeah people do tend to dye their hair when bored 😅 Do it!! I'll always grow out if you don't like it. 😄

You do have to be careful with bleach, not to lighten too often - or to lighten the same strip of hair too much! I actually don't like to bleach the same piece twice for this reason. So I'd suggest only lightening once, and then just lightening the roots when it grows out. 😊

It was; I only apply bleach to areas that aren't previously bleached since I'm worried about it being dry and damaged. 😊 But from what I understand, you can safely bleach colored hair - I would just be cautious of bleaching areas that have been previously lightened. Hope that helps! And when in doubt, consult a professional! 😁

Oh that would look so great!! 🤩 Good luck! 🤗

Hi! Color won't show up on dark hair unfortunately, unless it's lightened. It's the same idea as trying to color on white paper instead of black paper... You won't see the colors very well on dark paper; you have to lighten it first! 🤗

@@MarissaExplains ok, thanks😊

Hi! You can, but the lightening product is different. The process is the same (lighten first, then color) - but you probably want to use a different bleach for your face. Check out this article on it: beardoholic.com/bleaching-beard-hydrogen-peroxide/

This is Chi Ionic in the color 8rv. Here's a link to buy it at Walmart: 🤗 www.walmart.com/ip/175470589

Do it! 😅 It would look really cute! 😁

I’m gonna dye a streak to but red 🙂

Totally understand that!! Color brings a nice change. 🤗

@@MarissaExplains I’m gonna dye a streak of my hair pastel purple and pastel pink today

@@Mini-wd7qz woohoo! I hope you love it! 🥳

Well that's a first for me but I'll take it! 😅❤️
