In this video I'll show you how I cover my gray hair. I show you how you can color your gray roots at home without all the unwanted brassy reddish roots. It’s a big issue in hair color. I know a lot of you struggle with keeping the warm tones away when coloring your hair or even when leaving the salon. I explain why this happens. It can happen in a professional salon which is why I decided to finally make a video on this topic. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe.

I’m so glad I found your videos. I’m 70 & I got so sick of coloring my hair so I decided to let my hair grow natural. The sides were white but the rest & most of my roots were medium brown with little white mixed in. I hated it! So I decided to color my hair a pale platinum through a cap. I was happy with it except for the roots which get more reddish brown every time I wash my hair. I can’t wait to touch up my roots now. You’re the best!

I've been doing my own hair color for the last 20 years. When I get a cut the stylist always asks me how I did it and as you mentioned the trick is never use the same color twice in a row. I use a medium brown N base and 20 volume developer, and alternate with chestnut, violets and dark blonde tones. Natural hair is not all one colors so your color choices should mimic this as well. I have this beautiful dark brown, maroon with blonde highlights naturally from alternating colors. When I was getting it done professionally, I'm not kidding. The hairdresser always messed it up either by using semi-permanent color or by getting brassy tones. Not something I want to pay for! Needless to say, coloring is not that hard, I learned to do with myself much better results and less cost. And since I get roots every 10 days I have to color often.

@@elinabello19I always purchase professional color and the developer that goes with it. I prefer igora Royal. You can add a second color and stripe it in kind of like making your own thin highlights/ lowlights. That gives you a lot more dimension. If I was using dark brown like a level 3, I would use a mahogany to add some depth with low lights. It looks really pretty too when the Sun shines on it. Same for blonde tones. You could use medium blonde and add a little bit of chocolate lowlights. That gives more dimension

Do you tone on a seperate dat AFTER doing your roots to catch any potential bleed to your blonde ? I just commented on a recent video you posted where you "tone up" your blonde with the T18 and T27. Then came here to what you were doing for Grey's. I recently have tried doing some things at home bc my grey is just getting absurd. Looks great with all blonde but im trying to save $ this year by embracing my natural and the blonde I have left as my hair grows out. When I did my roots I tried to keep it cold water wash but I'm sure it made the highlights I have dingy ... which is why I was watching your other video mentioned. If only it still felt fun and not a chore!

My friend is naturally a medium fairly neutral brown, but is grey now so always colours her hair. She's gone progressively lighter over the years, as she says lighter hair is easier to blend / hide the roots when they grow back every 2-3 weeks. The grey is still very obvious when it comes back though! Should she just go a bit darker? Her roots are too warm too. Like a honey beige. And the all over blonde washes her skin tone out. She's a natural level 4-5 and her colour now is a level 8. Thank you!
