You are an absolute godsend, thank you! I balayage my own hair and normally use Schwarzkopf Blondeme for lifting to a level 9, but I ran out of it and planned poorly when I was doing my hair this last go around. I caved and went to Sally's and got the ion bleach because I wasn't patient enough to wait for the shipping from ordering Schwarzkopf online. The ion bleach only lifted to a level 7-8 on the mid sections of hair and I didn't want to deal with trying to only lighten the mid sections. I just so happen to have some shades EQ 09V on hand. I'm definitely going to try the 09P next time based on what you said in the video. This video had exactly the info I needed, thank you so much for making it!

I am a natural 5-6 with a ton of gold. I lift to an 8-9 (using Redken Flashlift w/30% Developer), but have been too impatient to order and wait for Shades EQ to arrive (I do my hair on a whim), so I end up getting Wella and never have great results. And no, it's not T18. Haha. I try to go with beige blonde (T15, T35) and it looks better, but I never love it. I have wanted to use Shades EQ vs. Wella for ages, but wanted more info. Thanks for the information! P.S. Joico makes a "Color Balance Blue Shampoo" for orange. I used to lighten my hair in stages to avoid damage and would use it during the orange weeks and wasn't impressed (thank God for wigs). I am not a fan of purple shampoo (too drying for me) unless it is TIGI Catwalk Fashionista Violet Shampoo. It smells fantastic and makes your hair super soft.

Hi! So I’ve had my hair balayaged & my natural color is around a 2 at the roots. I lifted to about a level 8 & had my hair toned. Without going to the salon, I’m trying to just tone the brass in my hair at home. Some highlights are light still, some are yellowish & some are orange. What mixture should I use since my roots are so dark??? 🙏🏼❤

And I've always been told "A level 9B will do nothing for a brassy level 6.You have to tone at level." What do you say about that?
@LaurenFrancesHair2 жыл бұрын
That’s correct a level 6 is going to have a lot of red so the base of 9b is blue gray. Blue will cancel orange which is the exposed pigment at a level 7 so levels other than 7 orange it will not work for. You want something with green & blue. ❤️

In beauty school, we were taught to lift to a level 9/10 and to be patient. Patience always pays off. But, my school wasn’t really into toning that much. They believed in getting to a nice clean lift so you didn’t have to really worry about toning. So that training has paid off. 😉 thanks for the toner training though! Shades eq is good stuff!

So what do I do if My client is a natural level 3/4 and I balayaged her to a level 7 ish and then she wanted to go lighter so I went back and balayaged to a level 8/9 but there’s still some spots of 7 mixed in how do I tone so those level 7 pieces look more uniform to the the 8/9 levels? Because she loves the 8/9 they’re the perfect color but the level 7 is still brassy but I don’t want to then have the lighter pieces over tone.

10p is not as pigmented so it would be best for lighter levels! Usually brass is your level 7 orange that’s why I would use a 9 there!

Question - I've bleached my dark hair to about a level 6/7/8 (different sections). I want to be strawberry blonde but right now it's too brassy/yellow. I want to tone the brassiness down but I obviously want to remain warm. I don't want to turn a cool or ash blonde. How should I go about this? Please & thank you 🙏 ❤️
@LaurenFrancesHair Жыл бұрын
Hey there! Those levels are a big range. So I would stick to getting everything to a level 8. At a level 8 there is gold but it is a good base for any strawberry blonde color you choose to put on.

@@LaurenFrancesHair tysm for answering! I should have mentioned, I'm going for multi dimensional SB with highlights, lowlights, and a smudge root. What's the difference bn gold and yellow? Do I have to strip yellow to reach gold? Am I better off depositing these tones with a toner rather than trying to work with the natural warmth that comes from bleaching? It's quite confusing!

You aren’t using a it wrong! That’s correct. However in this line level 9b is a highly pigmented and very cool shade. Cool colors appear much darker. This is why I would use a 9b.

because your highlights are likely more yellow or gold than orange. I would try purple shampoo instead to cancel out the yellow brassiness. if there's still orange after that, then you could try using purple shampoo first and then blue conditioner so that the blue has no yellow to mix with and turn green
