I'm at the point where i'm blonde but yellowy kinda darkish blonde on the bottom and lighter at the top and I don't know if I should go ahead and dye it at home and go crazy with it or not :/ help?
i used the feria 205 turned orange...one more time to yellow...then i used a light blond colour that toned it down a bit and just last night i used the silver shampoo but the hair is still quite yellow. so here i am i had black hair and now yellow super strong hair but im wondering what to do next as im not into yellow. i want to know if you have any suggestions...no sallys thanks for your time your colour rox
This video was soooo helpful. I am so tired of paying salons hundreds of dollars for my hair! My hair is a dark brown naturally (platinum now), so would the Feria still work on me? Also, how often can I do it? Thanks!
I bleached my hair with the product mentioned above Loreal Feria bleach but I got a big mix of white and bright orange/strawberry. I don't have a Sally's near me what can I get a walmart to take care of said issue. I wanted plantum and only did 1 bleach box should I do it again?
I was using that John Frieda spray too...and for the first month or two it was awesome...it kept my roots virtually unnoticeable :)
But just a heads up...after those 2 months, it started giving me damage to the top sides of my head (it could of been the way I was spraying it and it somehow was sitting in certain spots on my head...) but I just want to give u a heads up..please be careful...I went I lighten my hair at a salon after it, and it made my hair extremely damaged! :( I ho
i have highlights in my hair and i want to use this product.. would that be a goood choice? :o kinda nervous! lol i just highlighted my hair... about 2 weeks ago and im wanting to platinum!
hi i've already got bleached hair but my dark brown roots are showing how do i go about dying it platinum blonde do i just put it on my roots and the toner all over or do i put the colour all over aswel
I got the toner and the developer and finally had the nerve to try it today. I left it on for 5 minutes and was almost afraid to look after I got out of the shower (I was afraid of purple or gray). My hair didn't look any different, so I towel dried it and then blow dried it and -- NO change to any of the brass. In fact, if anything it now has that horrible, sparkly, just-colored brass look to it. I'll try it again at least one more time (the next time I color) but not sure what I did wrong.
i don't think i could ever just use the box color on my roots. i doubt it would lift my hair to platinum blonde, it would probably just leave it orange with very little lift. if u are already a light blonde though & want to go maybe a shade or two lighter it should work. but in my case, i have to use bleach to decolorize my hair & lift my natural pigment out. boxed colors don't provide much lift, usually they are just used for tinting or going 1-2 shades lighter/ darker.
Thanks so much for sharing this Wendy! Ive decided I want to go lighter over summer so this is super useful! Gonna go look for that Feria hair colour next time I go to the shops
Hey loved the video quick tip for saving money tho is go to ur nearest equine (horse) store and pick up a bottle of quick silver shampoo it is the best toner shampoo ever and it leaves ur hair feeling amazing
Hi! Your hair is beautiful :) I recently colored my hair to a very light almost white blonde (i had blonde hair before naturally), and the dye i used lifted my hair quite a bit but left some yellow tones in it scattered all throughout my hair, so i went to sallys today and picked up the T18 white lady toner and the woman said just to apply it to the yellow spots but i was wondering if it would be ok to apply it to my whole head of hair? she didn't really help answer my questions.
Thank god for you!! I've been searching high n low for a kit and u hav jus found me one!! I'm in the uk so might hav to do some more searching but this video has given me loads of info & really helps :) Thank u!!!! XxxX
Hi, I've been getting my brown hair highlighted for years and it almost looks one color blond now. I am so tired of spending $200 every 2 months and want to go all blond now. I've decided to try to do it myself but haven't had any luck! I havent tried this yet but tested a few strips with Garnier 100 and then 30 developer mixed with Loreal Extreme Light Ivory Blond. They didnt do much lightening but turned it a brassy color.Thank God I only did a patch test! Do you think this will work for me?
Did this damage your hair tons? I got my hair "professionally" lightened and "highlighted" about 3 years ago and it destroyed my hair .. I couldn't brush it wet for a very long time.. Basically, the lady had no clue what she was doing so I want to attempt to do it on my own this time around!
The "violet tones' thing has happened to me years ago. The only way I got rid of them was to dye my hair darker. How did you get rid of the violet in your bangs?
@tracyblogger Washed my hair with dish soap immediately after noticing the violet! it actually took a great deal of the purple out believe it or not! other than that, just regular shampooing and conditioning causes it to fade
WOW - fantastic info, girl! Thank you so much! My current hair color is medium blonde and I want to go lighter....so just bought the Feria Extra Bleach Blonde kit this morning (at my grocery store!). Going to hit Sally's to get the toner and creme developer that you recommended. HATE brassy, but LOVE light blonde. Your color is EXACTLY what I'm going for! Wish me luck! :-)
Again, thanks for making this video and offering such practical info!! Yay BLONDE!
I have been using John Frieda GO BLONDER spray and it's a hydrogen peroxide brightener and it keeps my roots blonde while I'm between colors! LOVE IT!
I love rocking my natural blonde! I used to dye it red/brown in the winter but and letting it grow out to be all natural, it took so long to love what I was born with. But I am so happy. So glad you can share the blonde love with the others XOXO
Hi,I'm a new subscriber, I found your channel because I wanted to get blonde hair. Your so pretty! (im not les lol) I also had dark brown with platinum highlights and I also constantly touch up roots. I wanted blonde hair so followed your tips and it worked! The only thing is that I have now after one month brassy blonde hair and highlights look gray. Would a toner fix the gray highlights and yellow hair? Thanks.
@lynlocks If your highlights are looking grey, I wouldnt recommend applying the toner all over because they might become more ashy or pick up violet. Only apply the toner to your brassy roots/areas. Ask the girls at sallys if they could recommend an overall brightener to help bring some of your bright blonde back
PLEASE RESPOND!! I am as blonde as you (from a box as well-Born Blonde) and I am soooo thankful for all this info! I have the Feria. Haven't used it though. Just wasn't sure which one so I bought a few and ended up using the Born Blonde Ultra Blue. So, I'm gonna get the other stuff but I need to know how to do just my roots. Is there any trick? I have such a hard time, I end up just doing my whole head. Bad I know but HELP!!!! My ends are strawy and it is gonna be time to do my roots again...???
@andreaslifeandbeauty How did the born blonde work for you? I tried born blonde after making this video and the results were not very good for me :/ The feria 205 is the color i used, but it will leave your hair a bit yellow/brassy so toning after with a violet toner is important if you want to eliminate that. Its hard to do just your roots, but i will typically use the end of a teasing comb and use that to seperate sections and paint the product on my roots one section at a time
@BentleyBlonde Not the 100, the 201. It didn't fry my hair like the Born Blonde. I had highlights the first time I did this at home and it made them look like low lights for about 3 times before they are gone now. It was very pretty! I bought Infusium deep conditioner (a bluish large tube) and it is FABULOUS for conditioning my hair after the more harsh stripping. Thanks again for the info and I will be following you! I subbed a few weeks ago and love you! Very easy to relate to!
@andreaslifeandbeauty its even harder to get the roots in the very back, esp when youre doing it alone, so (this is prob bad haha) but i will take the rest of the product in my gloves and work it into my roots in the back almost like im shampooing, its not good for the scalp im sure but its never bothered mine, and its better than fried ends ;) hope this helps
@BentleyBlonde thank you for that bit of info! I love the born blonde. I am scared of the peroxide so I usually rinse early bc I don't know when to stop. It says it will turn the orange color and you know you are doing it right. It does get there so I'm not too too worried at that point. I don't do a test strand which I should I guess. I work it in like shampoo all over and it does burn fa bit but whatever. U can use a diff. brand each time can't you? I used the Feria the 1st time it was the 100
@andreaslifeandbeauty glad its working out for you so far! I use a different color every 4-6 weeks and its been fine :) thank you for subscribing and watching my videos! :) xo
@BentleyBlonde so i have my brown ruts growing in and the bottom of my hair is still kind of orange because i went to brownish red to blonde and i only bleached it three times and the end of my hair is like ashy blonde kinda orange and the top of my head is bleach blonde and then there are my ruts, so can i use this all around my head will it get my roots AND my orangeness out? so i can get that bleachblonde im looking for?! i will still get the toner just in case! thank you if ya answer!:)
@samanthaibble Im not sure if you will achieve the same effect w the feria, because you have previously dyed your hair red... because of the different colors in your hair you may just want to do bleach powder/developer all over until everything gets to a pale yellow and THEN color with a light ash or cool blonde. I would recommend the Ion Creme Brilliance colors from sallys, less orangey tones :)
Hi, I was wondering if you had to wait to put the toner & developer in your hair after you dye it. Because today I just dyed my hair with the exact same hair dye you used and I bought the toner and developer today, where I just dyed it, do I need to wait or is it harmless? thanks!
Do you do your whole head everytime or do you just do your roots? I want to try this but am worried about the up keep. I was also wondering if my hair would turn even because I have been getting a full head of foils and I have a few inches of light brown roots. Thanks
@VanessaMarieA The first time I did my entire head, but now I just touch up my roots. You should be alright, just leave it on as long as possible :) and then tone
@BentleyBlonde I have really brassy hair, some sections even look copper. What products do you recommend I use to get to blonde? I dont really want platinum blonde just a dark blonde to brown but how do I lift the orangeness?
i just bleached my hair and used that same dye right after. my hair is so soft and the color came out great! good video and you have really pretty eyes(:
Bently Blonde! I just dyed my hair and about to wash it out... Can you tell me if i put the toner and 20 volume mix on after its clean and washed/conditioned?
Your video helped me so much! I was finally able to get my hair from dark brown to platinum blonde and I only had to bleach my hair twice. It's the best, cheap and doesn't damage your hair too bad. So easy to use. Thank you so much!
Wonderful vid... you know, though... as a guy I was wanting to go platinum blond (natural color similar to yours, maybe a bit lighter) but without any sort of punk/metrosexual/emo cut... but I'm starting to second-guess myself... just the prospect of needing a regular care regime to keep my hair the right shade and a healthy texture and the roots touched up seems just overwhelming... don't know why it seems you need a second "X" chromosome for this, but WHOOF!
@JoGoRose purple shampoo takes out the yellow more than taking out the orange. If your hair isn't mostly a yellow blonde it might dry your hair out more than anything. :)
I'd like to know if I apply the toner on dry or wet hair. Your video was very helpful. I'm trying to get the brassiness out and have never used toner before, so please let me know thanks!
My blonde extensions were really yellow and i put a light ash blonde dye over themm Nd turned grey!! How do i get rid of the grey to make it a platinum blonde
@babyxcakess Ive had my hair go somewhat grey or silvery as well, next time maybe just try a toner for a couple minutes instead of using another dye. I would wash them w dish soap, palmolive or dawn will help remove the color (however i dont know how much this would damage extensions) Or you could go to sallys and pick up some color oops!
Awesome vid's! I have a question if you don't mind :) A couple months ago I decided to go platinum. I found it expensive and decided to dye the roots that were coming in with loreal preference LB01. I used it twice and my roots look very golden/brassy now. What should I do??
This video made me subscribe to you. You are so awesome, I'm seriously impressed. Why don't you have more subscribers?! You have less than some people who are way less informative and interesting than you. Can't wait to see more!
did you need more than one box of feria to do your whole head? My hair is about the same length as yours but is all colors of blondes, and some reds mixed in. It's a disaster so do you think I should try 2 boxes? And did you use the toner the same day? or wait a day or two? I hope I can find these products here in Canada. Thanks Tara
@taravanessacaprani I only used one box, but could have def used two for better coverage :/ I use toner directly after coloring while my hair is still wet
Hey I just bought the same feria bleach blonding kit that you used in this video. the only problem is I'm not dyeing all of my hair I'm just doing 2 peek a boo streaks behind my ears. I was just wondering if you know what measurments I should use to mix the bleach in the kit and developer and anything else that it comes with? lol sry if that sounds confusing I just want to save some of this for when I have to do the roots to my streaks so I don't want to mix it all.
thank you for this video! I used 205 once last month and then an ashy wella color and it turned a light gingery color so I'm ready to try the 205 again! If I use 205 should I wait 3 weeks to try WhiteLady18? I've been in this process for 3 months now! trying to take my time but went from virgin dark brown and wanting platinum 205 wasn't super damaging to my hair either but I do conditioning masks weekly. :) thank you again!! Love your hair!!
@AmberRaffile you can use the white lady immediately after the 205 while your hair stills wet from washing out the color. but be careful because the violet in the toner will pick up really quick in your hair! keep an eye on it. good luck! and thanks girl :)
Would you suggest the feria kit over buying the professional color from sallys? My cousin is a hair stylist and she told me I should never bleach it again especially with a box kit. It's just so much easier for me to do he box kit BUT I do want to be nice to my hair lol.
I'm thinking of using either the color you have or the same kind of hair dye only in light golden blonde honey butter. I've dyed my hair a few times, but now the color is a darker blonde. Do you think if I used the ash blonde it will get as blonde as yours, seeing that you naturally have brown hair? Also, I have thicker hair, and it goes past my shoulders, so do you think that one box is enough? I don't really feel like paying for two... >.< It would be most helpful if you could answer(: Thanks
I am EXTREMELY impressed that you took the time to research the actual ingredients and provided us with the benefits of your research here. I will definitely be looking into more of your videos and I thank you for providing such a thourough guide here.
@slip87 The feria kit will take it to yellow, just an actual bleach/developer would do. You now need to tone your hair with a violet toner :) sallys beauty carries wella toners and a few other brands!
Hey I'm in the midst of going a darkish blonde but right now my bottom has a brassy color and my top has a greenish tone. I was wondering if you can recommend anything to take these two out. And also a good toner that would give me a slightly blonder look. Thanks so much :)
I would like to become a medium blonde color (my natural color is probably the same as yours maybe a little darker). I bought the darker garnier shade in light ash blonde but it didn't change my color at all. Do you think the white chocolate would make me a light blonde because I would only like to become a medium blonde. Thanks!!
Hi Wendy! Just curious which purple shampoos you have tried? I have the matrix and the joico ones and I kinda wanna try the ag one since its on sale. I wonder if this one is better? Thanks!!
@macyrae81 hi there! Ive tried the shimmer lights, ultra silver and AG shampoos. I have never tried the matrix or joico unfortunately :/ The AG is the best ive ever tried out of these!
I have had the SAME thoughts about the conditioners in hair-coloring kits. Those are THE only ones that work on my dry, color-treated hair. Why can't they sell them separate?? LOL. I'll have to try the Redken.
As for dying my hair at home, I have the same hair color you were talking about: Ash, mousy blonde. Everytime I try to do it at home, it turns orange! So I'm too scared to try it again.
wendy, this is perfect, my daughter has mousy brown hair and just colored it with her girlfriend, mind you, and it turned orange and just lighter brown. Obviously she didn't leave it in long enough. So i went out and got a bleaching kit, similar to the one you mentioned, and I am going to redo it today. Thanks for all the tips sweetie, you are so fab!!
I have shimmer lights shampoo currently and am thinking about heading to ULTA to pick up the AGI Sterling Silver Shampoo. How much better is the AGI compared to the Shimmer Lights? I know in the video you said you liked the AGI better but could you tell me in more detail? Thanks! xoxo Marissa
Matrix also makes a nice purple shampoo I thinit's called so silver I use that one in case anyone wants to try that too my sister in law is a hair dresser she recommened it to just use to get any brassiness. good video!
@xx0ink I do experience the normal loss of hair throughout the day, but nothing more than that. My hair is surprisingly healthy considering the processes
GREEEAAT video..up until a few months ago i never considered doing my own blonde hair! I'm saving bundles :) and i'm getting great results! I like the garnier number 98.
Love your hair it suits you Wendy, you got the gwen stefani colour now :) I have super dark brunette hair so I would never dye it blonde since I like it and so many people don't like their natural colour and have been told my hair is really healthy. I have only ever done temporary dye or highlights and I want to donate it again to cancer so I don't want to damage it! ahaha kissu is definitely meant to be your dog she gets so excited over beauty products :)
all box colors have peroxide.... and metallic salts which is why they are able to sit on the shelf for so long. get pro color. it acutally is cheaper to buy pro color from sallys or what ever than to buy a box dye from a store like walmart. and your hair will come out better ;)
I'm not sure if they sell Lee Stafford in the US, but if you haven't tried their Bleach Blondes shampoo and you get the chance to - go for it! I have tried loads of toning shampoos (loads!), both drugstore and high end, and that one is by far the best one I've ever tried, and it's fairly cheap as well ;) It's super toning so I can't leave it in for more than a couple of minutes or my hair will turn violet. So that is a very good budget friendly alternative :) x
your hair looks fab! I have only had highlights in 7th grade, so my hair is pretty much virginy. and it's really dark. I always gets compliments on my natural hair so I'd never change it because I've grown to love it :)
Your hair looks great! It's a painful process but once you get the color you want it's just about keeping it healthy. I don't use a toner anymore on my hair I just use the joico violet shampoo. I have the redken all soft and it makes my hair soft for a moment but doesn't seem to do anything else. I LOVE the enjoy conditioner and oil. My hair looks better now than before I bleached it;) great video!!!
wow you are flawless!!! but i plan on going golden blonde once i get this brown permanent color that covered my blonde hair last summer grown out! i can't wait!!!
Thank you so much! This video is exactly what I needed. I really need to get my hair done, but I have been postponing it and postponing it because it cost so darn much! I don't know if I have the guts to this, but I'm definitely gonna have to look into it. Do you know what strength developer is in the loreal kit? Just wondering how damaging it is. Your hair looks great, do you have any brassiness or orange to it at all? Thank you thank you. :)
thumbs up..she never said she was a professional shes just saying how she dyes are blonde hair...not how to go from dark brown or brown to blonde at home :D
loreal and garnier test on animals :( but thank you for the information on the redkin conditioner, my mother always wanted the conditioner than came in the hair dye kits too! i know what ill be getting now
Your hair looks really gorgeous and so silky for hair thats bleached.I just had mine highlighted for $200.00 and it does not look as soft and silky as yours.I wish I could do it myself but that never worked out well.Ended up lemon yellow once. xoCathy
@BentleyBlonde lol I was blonde for like, almost 2 years!! If you go back to my very first few videos (turn the audio off though- quite embarrassing LOL) my hair was sooo light. I got tired of paying for it and I'm too chicken to use a box! plus the damage... gah. I do want highlights again though. But I have to wait til next spring :( my new years resolution was to not dye my hair for a whole year!! ITS KILLER! haha!
I'm at the point where i'm blonde but yellowy kinda darkish blonde on the bottom and lighter at the top and I don't know if I should go ahead and dye it at home and go crazy with it or not :/ help?

I have such a hard time, I end up just doing my whole head. Bad I know but HELP!!!! My ends are strawy and it is gonna be time to do my roots again...???

@andreaslifeandbeauty How did the born blonde work for you? I tried born blonde after making this video and the results were not very good for me :/ The feria 205 is the color i used, but it will leave your hair a bit yellow/brassy so toning after with a violet toner is important if you want to eliminate that. Its hard to do just your roots, but i will typically use the end of a teasing comb and use that to seperate sections and paint the product on my roots one section at a time

@BentleyBlonde Not the 100, the 201. It didn't fry my hair like the Born Blonde. I had highlights the first time I did this at home and it made them look like low lights for about 3 times before they are gone now. It was very pretty! I bought Infusium deep conditioner (a bluish large tube) and it is FABULOUS for conditioning my hair after the more harsh stripping. Thanks again for the info and I will be following you! I subbed a few weeks ago and love you! Very easy to relate to!

@andreaslifeandbeauty its even harder to get the roots in the very back, esp when youre doing it alone, so (this is prob bad haha) but i will take the rest of the product in my gloves and work it into my roots in the back almost like im shampooing, its not good for the scalp im sure but its never bothered mine, and its better than fried ends ;) hope this helps
BentleyBlonde 2 months ago
@BentleyBlonde thank you for that bit of info! I love the born blonde. I am scared of the peroxide so I usually rinse early bc I don't know when to stop. It says it will turn the orange color and you know you are doing it right. It does get there so I'm not too too worried at that point. I don't do a test strand which I should I guess. I work it in like shampoo all over and it does burn fa bit but whatever. U can use a diff. brand each time can't you? I used the Feria the 1st time it was the 100

@BentleyBlonde so i have my brown ruts growing in and the bottom of my hair is still kind of orange because i went to brownish red to blonde and i only bleached it three times and the end of my hair is like ashy blonde kinda orange and the top of my head is bleach blonde and then there are my ruts, so can i use this all around my head will it get my roots AND my orangeness out? so i can get that bleachblonde im looking for?! i will still get the toner just in case! thank you if ya answer!:)
samanthaibble 3 months ago
@samanthaibble Im not sure if you will achieve the same effect w the feria, because you have previously dyed your hair red... because of the different colors in your hair you may just want to do bleach powder/developer all over until everything gets to a pale yellow and THEN color with a light ash or cool blonde. I would recommend the Ion Creme Brilliance colors from sallys, less orangey tones :)

Hi, I was wondering if you had to wait to put the toner & developer in your hair after you dye it. Because today I just dyed my hair with the exact same hair dye you used and I bought the toner and developer today, where I just dyed it, do I need to wait or is it harmless? thanks!

Wonderful vid... you know, though... as a guy I was wanting to go platinum blond (natural color similar to yours, maybe a bit lighter) but without any sort of punk/metrosexual/emo cut... but I'm starting to second-guess myself... just the prospect of needing a regular care regime to keep my hair the right shade and a healthy texture and the roots touched up seems just overwhelming... don't know why it seems you need a second "X" chromosome for this, but WHOOF!

@JoGoRose purple shampoo takes out the yellow more than taking out the orange. If your hair isn't mostly a yellow blonde it might dry your hair out more than anything. :)

@babyxcakess Ive had my hair go somewhat grey or silvery as well, next time maybe just try a toner for a couple minutes instead of using another dye. I would wash them w dish soap, palmolive or dawn will help remove the color (however i dont know how much this would damage extensions) Or you could go to sallys and pick up some color oops!

did you need more than one box of feria to do your whole head? My hair is about the same length as yours but is all colors of blondes, and some reds mixed in. It's a disaster so do you think I should try 2 boxes? And did you use the toner the same day? or wait a day or two? I hope I can find these products here in Canada. Thanks Tara

Hey I just bought the same feria bleach blonding kit that you used in this video. the only problem is I'm not dyeing all of my hair I'm just doing 2 peek a boo streaks behind my ears. I was just wondering if you know what measurments I should use to mix the bleach in the kit and developer and anything else that it comes with? lol sry if that sounds confusing I just want to save some of this for when I have to do the roots to my streaks so I don't want to mix it all.

thank you for this video! I used 205 once last month and then an ashy wella color and it turned a light gingery color so I'm ready to try the 205 again! If I use 205 should I wait 3 weeks to try WhiteLady18? I've been in this process for 3 months now! trying to take my time but went from virgin dark brown and wanting platinum 205 wasn't super damaging to my hair either but I do conditioning masks weekly. :) thank you again!! Love your hair!!
AmberRaffile 6 months ago
@AmberRaffile you can use the white lady immediately after the 205 while your hair stills wet from washing out the color. but be careful because the violet in the toner will pick up really quick in your hair! keep an eye on it. good luck! and thanks girl :)

Would you suggest the feria kit over buying the professional color from sallys? My cousin is a hair stylist and she told me I should never bleach it again especially with a box kit. It's just so much easier for me to do he box kit BUT I do want to be nice to my hair lol.

@lovestrucklovergirl the box kit is a lotttt less damaging, however the bleach itself is going to take you to a white platinum much faster.

I'm thinking of using either the color you have or the same kind of hair dye only in light golden blonde honey butter. I've dyed my hair a few times, but now the color is a darker blonde. Do you think if I used the ash blonde it will get as blonde as yours, seeing that you naturally have brown hair? Also, I have thicker hair, and it goes past my shoulders, so do you think that one box is enough? I don't really feel like paying for two... >.< It would be most helpful if you could answer(: Thanks

I would like to become a medium blonde color (my natural color is probably the same as yours maybe a little darker).

I'm not sure if they sell Lee Stafford in the US, but if you haven't tried their Bleach Blondes shampoo and you get the chance to - go for it! I have tried loads of toning shampoos (loads!), both drugstore and high end, and that one is by far the best one I've ever tried, and it's fairly cheap as well ;) It's super toning so I can't leave it in for more than a couple of minutes or my hair will turn violet. So that is a very good budget friendly alternative :) x
