thank you so much♡♡♡

I've used Olia for years and my hair is never dry. It's awesome. 🥰👌🏻

Agreed. I have used box dyes for many years. Schwarzkopf box dye was awful. Olia is my favorite!

@@JoJo-xz6fw I‘m going to color my hair for the first time by myself tomorrow with this exact red color by olia, so now I‘m feeling even better knowing that it‘s a good one😁

@@rosecanpunchmeandIwouldsaysorr come back and let us know what you think. 👌🏻

I completely agree Sharon!! And without judgment too. I just hate the stigma that comes with it. That’s why I’m doing a whole series on box dye.

@@GlamGirlGabi It's not as much a stigma as a real life situation when/if they want to go lighter, and getting it out. They can create a really horrid color correction situation. I know, if you're a professional, that you know this.

@@GlamGirlGabi OMG, Thank you for that. Seriously.

@@rain3743 Not really lol

I didn't know there was a stigma! I reckon that's more likely in hairdressing circles than the wider public. I think most people use box colour because it's affordable and relatively low risk if you want a solid colour. It's lightening where it can go pear shaped. We've all had a few colour mishaps at some point but you learn from your mistakes. I'd love to get my colour done at the salon but getting a decent cut is already a huge expenditure from my budget. I prefer to pay for a decent cut and top up colour myself before the grey gets me and I'm forced to use a salon. I love Olia, it's one of the few that doesn't wreck my hair.

No matter what colour I used by L’Oréal it went black.

I used to get the same reaction when I used the L'Oréal casting creme gloss, which is an ammonia free, semi permanent colour. My hair was alway in amazing condition. Then I chose the life of bleach 😭

I used Clairol Nice N’ Easy 103A Medium Beige Blonde for years and loved it. Then, they changed the formula and the color was Too Drab and looked muddy grey.

It depends what colour you use. Most blonde L’Oréal box dyes are rubbish - make your hair orange/yellow/purple/green/muddy/anything except blonde.

yeah loreal is great!

If you don't mind investing in the peroxide/developer and the color formulas from Goldwell or Wella/otherwise, then it is about as expensive as buying box color. I am a stylist who has created box color lines and professional ranges and I would find it so funny if people starting using pro products because everyone in beauty is AlwAys So ShoCKed over box color.

@@ajnachakraguy Would you please expound on your comment? I really want to understand what you mean but can not follow it.

@@larsonanne you buy normal developer from a store make sure it’s not 30/40 vol you need lower then you can buy professional hair dyes online which normally range in price like normal box dyes after that you mix them together and use on ur hair like a box dye

I always paid 100’s of dollars while a friend always used boxed. She always looked great but I was afraid to do it myself. Now I’m in Europe & often not near a salon. I’m using boxed & it’s awesome! Wish I’d figured this out thousands of dollars ago 😊

I've also had a traumatic color experience with an incompetent hairdresser, I just don't understand how this can happen. They are out there and give hairdressing a bad name. You would think a medium brown to a red color is a common request and easily doable.

I spent way too much money at a salon asking for a burgundy color melt/root tap. She gave me fire engine red. 🚒 Super thankful it washed out in two washes. It was so ugly, and I would have been so mad if it was the color I wanted and washed out that fast with $$$ color safe shampoo.

If your hair is bleached and light. Dye your hair a light brown with box dye. Probably just a old school regular Light brown , not Ash , and then dye your hair a red brown like an auburn 2 weeks later (because you want to let your hair rest) and I guarantee it’ll look bomb on you. If she bleached your hair and then you do red with no base it’ll just keep on washing out too much. That’s my opinion! I have had dark red before from box dye. I’m not a hair dresser! Take advice at your own risk but also know that red takes Months to get out of hair if you use box dye and want to switch to a brown. It’ll take probably 6 months to a year with dying your hair every 3 months if you wanna go brown from red. Just FYI cuz I had to do that to go back to my medium brown from auburn. If your hair is now a medium brown from her lightning your hair before , just pick up a red shade from the box dyes and it’ll look good. If you get hot roots and don’t want them and need to fix them. Dye roots one shade darker than the mid and ends and you’ll be good.

If your hair was dyed before she had to bleach it. Unlike your daughter whose hair is probably less damaged and therefore takes the color better. ALL redheads will tell you that shampoo takes out the red horribly. It talks more of the porosity of the hair and damage and less of the color. Red head shampoo and conditioner plus upkeep with demipermanent hair dye or direct hair dye are needed keeping red hair red is hard... harder than blonde ill say

It's terrible ehen you have to loft ut out and want an even canvas. Yes, it's terrible.

@@rain3743 Removing color or correcting a bad color is possible but most people do it all wrong by using Powder Bleach and 30 or 40 vol.Developer / Peroxide. You should use a color remover made for the type of Dye used and recondition hair throughly before Re-Coloring.

Thank you for the information and clarification!

I really liked Revlon Colorsilk. I learned not to overlap the dye as it gets darker with each application. I used level 5 on my natural level 8. It looked great. Unfortunately the ethanalomine hurt my skin over time, not good for people with skin sensitivities: eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis...

@@brightphoebus I’m sorry to hear that, most colors that use peroxide can cause skin irritation even on normal skin. However, if you are going darker or just covering gray there are new plant based colors that don’t use peroxide or synthetic colorants and can be much safer for people with skin problems and still give beautiful, long - lasting results.

My hair is very delicate and it got better with the passing of time.

ALL PERMANENT HAIR COLORS DAMAGE THE HAIR to some degree, even the ones for professionals. It is how you apply it and how often you use it that makes the most difference. They try to tell you that Drugstore Box Dye is more damaging but they have to formulate it to be used by amateurs. Also, it doesn’t Lighten or Color as well as the Professional Dyes - How can this make sense? The MAJOR DIFFERENCE between Box Dye and Professional Dye is EDUCATION. A professional colorist is supposed to know how to formulate and apply Bleach and Color Correctly for each individual client. Professional Dyes also have a greater range of shades, up to HUNDREDS of colors, as well as Additives, Developers, Modifiers Etc. However, all the professional brands use the same basic Dyestuffs as the drugstore brands with a few exceptions as there are only a certain number of Dye Compounds available for use on Hair. Most Drugstore Dyes are actually OWNED by many of the same parent companies of the Professional Brands so they can’t really be all that different just marketed differently.

What a sweet message!!! Thank you for spreading some kindness and love into the world today. You made my night ❤️

Btw, my hairdresser asked me about my hair because she loved the colour and was surprised at how healthy it is. She told me that they use henna at their salon, when I told her that I'm never sure if I'm applying it correctly at the back of my head. Yet when I asked to see the product I found that it contained chemicals as well. I couldn't risk that. I would advise anyone to avoid henna that's mixed with chemicals; if it's mixed with salts it can cause major damage to your hair if you use anything else on your hair that it reacts with. The natural stuff is a bit messy and you might need a little practice, but it's much safer. I'd read up on it and watch how other people use it on KZfaq, if you're interested.

This is useful information. Thank you for sharing.

Which one is your fav? Like what brand at the moment?

What are your favorites for jet black hair?

I am not a stylist but have opened my stubborn grey roots prior to box coloring w 20 Volume Developer. Wipe off w a wet wipe or wash cloth. Dry. Then color as normal.

Great suggestions! I’ll do it for the next box dye video!

Yesss

I’ve heard GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE OLIA

That’s a great suggestion! I’ll look into it for you!

@@GlamGirlGabi 🖤

Same here :) Funny, informative, and unpretentious. Enjoyable to watch.

I’m younger so I don’t need to cover grays much but I use dark on the roots and shade lighter on the length. Color comes out bomb. Better than any salon could do and I also don’t go to a salon. Completely over priced like you said !

@@missjoasia123 having greys is a pain in the butt 😫 ❤ have a lovely day where ever you are

Hi, i want to try box dye bcoz i have premature grey hair and want to cover them But im afraid that the hair that arent grey yet would turn grey coz of dye Also which brand is best for natural red or brown colour

@@smritinarang5928hi, if your experiencing slight greys I'd leave them alone unless they are visible and are bothering you. Colouring hair that is already grey isn't going to affect the hair that isn't grey it's just going to blend into the hair. There's not really a specific dye that I go to I tend to try different ones. But there's one dye that I do keep going back to but unfortunately can't remember the name of it, all I can say is it's a natural dye in a green-ish box! I think it's plant based and has very good natural ingredients in it. Sorry I don't know the name of it 😩 I'll look for it the next time I go to the store but if you manage to figure out which one I'm talking about please let me know!! Hope this was somewhat helpful, hope you have a lovely day wherever you are ❤🇬🇧

When I've gotten my hair colored and roots touched up in Texas, California, and Wisconsin, (in all, several decades) the colorists would "poke" some color into the follicles after brushing it on. They would do this at each part -- separate a section, brush brush poke poke (the poke is with the ends of the brush bristles). That little poke each time gave me 7 to 10 extra days before any roots showed, and I'm mostly gray. Where I live now, where I've tried 5 colorists and have given up and will do my own hair, every colorist only did the brush brush, no poke poke. And my roots would show up exactly 10 days later. Never saw them before 3 weeks before, but now, I could set my calendar on the 10 days. One of the several very frustrating reasons I'm doing my own hair from now on. I'll be doing the brush brush poke poke routine.

Terrible, used Schwartzkopf once and it was really deceiving. It's just about highlights that get completely washed away with first shampooing. And then your head is opaque and colorless.

Which black box dye did you end up getting 🤗?

First off, how lovely that your husband colors your hair! "Schwartzgraph" made me laugh tough. You probably meant Schwarzkopf 😂 I'm aware it's an insane looking word to non German speakers. Schwarz=black Kopf=head. It literally translates to blackhead 😂😂 😂

I also like that brand for the deep red or fuschia

@@RamoArt my hubby does mine toooooo!!!! Whoop whoop ❤️

What colour were you aiming for?

There are "root touch ups" which are great (from Clairol for example).

Me exactly 💯- Salon colored my natural med brown to a copper/red - can no longer afford- trying to figure out how to do white/gray roots!!

You’re welcome. I’m so happy to hear that it was helpful.

I've had my medium brown hair dyed in the salon copper-red now for about a year- but can no longer afford - especially with white/gray roots coming in -- trying to find a box red copper, but not even sure yet how/what to do with the white roots ...

L'Oréal creme gloss have a semi permanent, ammonia free hair dye called Amber which is on the lighter side, and L'Oréal also have a bit of a darker shade in a permanent dye from the Excellence creme range called Natural rich auburn. Both are great, the gloss leaves the hair in fantastic condition. I'm not sure what the Garnier colour looked like but perhaps they might be similar

@@x-starlight-x Thanks for the recommendations.

Yes, sounds like you and I are going for the same color. I don't want any purple, at all, under my red. But I also don't want the RED red. My first attempt, she gave me candy-apple red. Not what I asked for. It's a cute fashion color, but not for me. Then there was the three-layer cake salon. Every person who received color got the same pattern. Medium on top, lighter in the middle, and darker on bottom (I'm speaking of the scalp), and then a "tail" of dark from the crown falling down the back. Next place had reasonably good color, but when I asked for a trim of my long hair, her "trim" consisted of combing my hair down, holding it against my back, and cutting straight across the bottom. That'll be 90 bucks! I could have gotten that at Supercuts for $12. Fourth colorist was, I think, not stable. She gave reasonable color, but she kept disappearing for 30-40 minutes at a time. I'd come in first customer of the day, she'd seat me at her station then disappear for 40 minutes. She'd go to mix color and come back 30 minutes later. She'd rinse my hair and disappear for another 40. A simple root job took over four hours -- I had an 8 a.m. appointment and was there on time, as was she, but I was late for a 12:30 lunch date because I couldn't get out of there. Then the last one: Every time I went in, I'd end up with a different color, and none of them were the color I asked for. And she would sometimes forget to color my bangs (!). So one time, she had to correct the bangs, and the color came out exactly like I'd been wanting the whole time. So I made an appointment to get that exact shade all over. But she gave me something several shades browner. Done and done. With all of them. As long as I live in this metropolitan area (it's not a small town -- there's over 4 million people), I will do my own hair.

@@x-starlight-x Ooh- had to go look and see- that’s really close to my hair color. My mother named me well. 👩🏻‍🦰☺️

I've used Olia for years, I love it 🥰

tell me how it went? That's one I've been told is the best even though, for me, it's expensive. ty

@@Bella-ej2sr really well actually! I used to have teal highlights but they faded to an ugly green so I just went back to black which is my natural color, it came out really nice and after one wash so far it’s still vibrant

Even professional lightener will require the hair to be toned afterwards. I'm not a hairstylist so maybe there is a magic toning bleach out there but I don't see how the color wouldn't be lifted by the bleach as soon as it gets deposited into the hair.

Feria Ultra Light Neutral Blonde Shade 100 Diamond.

I’ll do that for my next box dye video on blonde dye. Thanks for the suggestion. I’m always looking for ways to improve the content for you guys.
