Guys, I'm now doing Virtual Consultations to help answer your hair questions and help with color formulation so you can get your dream hair from home!. To learn more, go to ellebangs.com/consultations

I would love to see you actually doing hair on clients! I love watching other stylists doing those videos. I feel like those kinds are literally the best education. This video was great tho btw

You are a true gift to the hair universe. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

this is so helpful! love how you explained everything, brings me back to my color theory class in design school

This is a fantastic explanation! You always explain things in ways that truly make sense. You are so awesome! Thank you for all your time and sharing your wisdom!

This is hands-down your most helpful video!!!! Thank you so so much !

Love all your suggestions and guidance! Thank you!

Great video, Sylvia!! Thank you for sharing with us!! 💖

Thank you for posting this! Very helpful!

Wow 🤩 your explanation on how colour works using the paper and hi-lighter example just made Everything click! Lol That makes SO much sense!!! You’re the best Sylvia! Thank you for keeping on with your channel especially since we’re all trying to educate ourselves on how to do our own and our kids and hubbies hair lately lol Not only that, but I jumped on the covid crazy hair wagon and feeling full of regrets sometimes lol Thx for helping me figure out how to work with what I got!! Ps. I’d love to see a video from you on temp colours and how to manage and upkeep, changing colours or removing then how to put a normal hair colour back on too! ;) hehe

Love your videos! This was super helpful. I have an issue that I never see much info on. I have hair that is super grey/white at the from but dark at the back (about a level 6) . My hair is currently bleached to level 9/10 (toned with a champagne/pearl toner). My hair feels super damaged these days so how do I transition to something less damaging. What kind of colour should I go if I’m kind of a zebra? 💕 white at front/ dark at the back. Would love to see a video about us greying folks xxx Thanks for sharing your wisdom and beauty. Stay safe and healthy 💕💕💕

Acne or no acne you are radiant!!! 🌞

Thank you so much for the purple highlighter metaphor. That is so helpful for my brain to finally just accept that I can't shortcut my way to ash just by plopping it on and hoping really hard.

This was great! Thanks for clarifying level 6 hair to go ashier!

Understanding basic theory of how toners work: Look at a color wheel. You will notice these colors across from each other: Purple across from Yellow (blonde undertone)..... Green across from Red (brunette undertone).... Blue across from Orange (self-explanatory)..... Those colors cancel each other out.

Another great video! Always so informative.The next two videos sound awesome too! I can’t wait 🥳 Have you tried the new acidic bonding concentrate line from Redken yet? I got all three and love it! I would like to hear what you think about it, and if it really heals the hair over time. Oh, I’m also wondering .. are you doing anyone’s hair now a days, or just the virtual consultations?

Beautifully explained.

I always learn something from your videos, thank you. I seem to be in two of your situations mentioned, covering gray and wanting to be a 6/7 ashy color. I am naturally a level 6/7 and am about 50% gray. Every color I have used (home or salon) always looks orangey. After watching this, I am thinking that I should bleach my roots and then tone down. What should I use as a toner?

Hey Elle, would you do a video series sometime...specifically on highlighted/bleached curly hair? toning...best cuts/styles...products for styling/protecting/washing/reviving...recommended combs/brushes/styling tools?

I love your hair! I wish I could get by hair done by you! Amazing! Love🖤

I always learn so much everytime I watch your videos,Silvia! I wish I would of seen your links here before I bought all my products because I just bleached my burgundy red ombre hair... I only bleached it once but I used colour off first. I used Schwarzkopf BlondMe (I recommend anyone reading this purchase Schwarzkopf BlondMe it's the best & there's a link in the description of this video for everything pretty much I used) after that & then because I still had a little red left I used Schwarzkopf highlift 12-11 & I did a root melt with dark ash blonde. It turned out really good I didn't even need to tone it & my hair looked healthier than before I started surprisingly. I did add Olaplex to both the colour off & the blondeme bleach & I used 20 volume and when I mixed the volume because my hair was already so light from the colour off instead of adding 2 parts of volume I added 2 and a half with the olaplex. But my hair was already an 8 and even a 10 in some spots cause I had an ombre with light ends. I was focusing on the stubborn red at the top which I was kind of worried might not come out cause my hair is so porous. I left everything in a long time to process & used a hair dryer bonnet that I got on Amazon. I used to always go to the salon but I suffered a spinal cord injury on my neck & I have alot of spine issues along with Lupus. So it's really hard for me to sit in a chair for hours let alone have a mask on the whole time. I'd rather do it myself & take my time at home it's so much easier plus I feel like my hair gets less damaged cause I can really baby my hair when I'm doing it. BTW Silvia great video as usual and thank you for sharing Bondiboost on Instagram. I ordered the blonde baby trio & Repair Repair set. Great products! ❤️

Love your content, Thank you

thanks love your videos very helpful

Love this!!!!

Thank you. Well explained. Good woman! 👍😘

I use 4nn and 5nn on roots. Then I use a 5n toner after that. Awesome shine

Thank you for this explanation! When my roots come in, I have 25% white hairs mixed with my natural tone which is 6 ashy/neutral brunette and I use chromatics 7n + 7 ash on the roots then I tone zones 2 and 3 with some pretty ashy Shades EQ...but i haven't been able to achieve the ashy tone I want and now, finally, I understand why! Unfortunately, I don't want to have to use bleach, so I will have to figure out what I want to do now.

Thank you so much for all the amazing help! I have the greys. You said to tone the ends of my hair that are already color treated. What kind of toner do you like for that and what level developer? And also I read to apply toner on damp Hair, but noticed you did dry hair. I trust you! Do you have a preference? Thanks!! Congratulations on the new baby!

Very informative thank you

Hi Elle thank you for all your tips... this is a tip thats helped me with maskne try spraying your mask with rubbing alchohol let dry and voila hope it helps I carry spray bottle with me to work

Great and informative !! How can I safely brighten/lighten the level of my previously lightened blonde mids and ends ( I have a sombre ) Thanks Beautiful lady

Ahhh thank you . I'm fall into the second category. We lifted my colour which was previously very dark, almost black we coloured it dark brown and now I have reddish brown color. Not happy 😔

Love ur hair color 💜

Can I use high lift product to achieve the same on my bleached level 7 orange hair to ashy tone ? such as igora royal 9-1 ash. I’m hoping using one step to lift and tone simultaneously. Thank you- Awesome video as always!

I've been doing hair for awhile, never can stop learning, love your videos I am lisenced, so color is not my specialty but im starting to rock it like everything else. I do have a question about being ash. so not wanting to go lighter, would I need to go two levels darker or just one?

Hi Silvia, love your channel! It's really informing. Can you do some more videos on men's colour please. I'm aging and my hair is healthy but I just want to cover the greys. I'm a base level 6 so I bought Wella 6NN and 6NA to mix with 20 Vol developer. Followed the instructions and it came out a dark brown with warm orange tones. Can anyone help a poor Scots man soul and suggest how to get rid of these tones. I just wait plain boring light/medium brown hair Do I need to buy a Toner and what colour? It's all so confusing. HELP ANYONE!! Still glad I didn't buy buy Men's boxed dye.

Thank you so much that helped a lot. It was really a good explanation

Love your nails!!! Would love to know what your do or get 🥰

I just want to say thank you. Your videos have been SOOOOO helpful. I was just wondering how you lighten from a 6 to an 8.

@@eyeamgroot4372 thank you so much!!!! I have been trying to be more self-sufficient with this stuff, and this really helps. Thank you!!!!

Thank you, this is very helpful, so what you’re saying, with the second scenario, you go in with a Lightner & 20 volume to lighten the scalp area( gray)and then go back in with a warm toner that would match the mid shaft and the rest of the hair?

Wow- I've learned so much watching your videos over and over- I'm *almost* ready to take on my previously professionally highlighted/lowlighted hair (last done in July) which now has my box dyed (now brass/orange-ish) long roots and gray/level 6 fresh 3/4" roots. A lot going on! but I I want to try to balayage with natural 6 root blend/gray cover and shadow. I've watched so many of your videos and will try using esalon root permanent color and their lightening kit. If doing my own, which brand permanent color and toner should I use that's available to at-home quarantined armature styliststs?

What kind of toners do you recommend that are less damaging?

you look lovely, this makeup is very flattering on you :)

Hey Silvia! Was wondering your opinion about using the new Redken acid shampoo and treatments while having extensions in? Will it be safe for them?

Your hair is so pretty. :)

Love your hair so beautiful

I'm rapt to find you, thanks for your explanation! Is hair colour stripping any sort of option? I'm trying to get rid of dark brown hair colouring to get closer to my now fairly grey hair and my hair is quite fragile and bleach may not be an option. Thanks so much for your videos!

Do you have any videos on dark brown hair issues, like gray, dry ends+ oily roots, lifeless hair?

Hi Silvia, I'm by no means a professional, just curious :) isn't there any option to counteract those warm tones with bluish/green toner? or this works just on already coloured hair? thanks a lot!

What colour do you use to lowlight your own hair it’s lovely

I cured my mask acne but ceasing the use of foundation. I only use a tiny bit in my nose, concealing my eye area and then I add blush, eye makeup and so on. Best of luck if you decide to try this.

So basically, could it also be that the reason why my purple shampoo doesn't seem work is because I'm a "warm" level 6 at bas?e.. So the way for me to get to an ashy tone is to bleach more first?

Question, how long do you let the toner process before applying to your hair?

What level peroxide do you recommend for lifting a warm light drown to allow the ash tones to absorb? Is 20 right?

Thank you for this video..to touch up my roots with a box color..it has 2 ozs of color and 2 ozs of developer how much of the 20 developer do I add? Thank you for pointing out about getting the neutral shade...I hope my roots look better and blends with the rest of my hair.

Hello 😊😊,Thank you so much for your videos because I learned many things and I recovered a little of the health of my hair. I have an important question, I have California highlights in my hair (the root with my natural color and begins with tone 7-8 and at the end a 9 I always look for an ashy tone) but I don't know how to do with the toner shampoo,because I have a toner shampoo and mask for brunettes (pravana) and a redken mask for blonde hair, but i dont us it bcause i dont no what to do ,please😊😊 un beso from spain

شكرا كثير على نصائح

I bleached my hair two months ago and I have yellow orange hair and my roots are dark. Can I use a permanent color like a Golden extra light with 30 volume developer to cancel the orange parts? Would it work ?

Have you ever used color oops on red brown hair? I had platinum blonde highlights against my natural ash blonde about a 6 or 7 level. I am now at about a 5 or 6 brown with copper red tones and want to go back to before.

Love your videos. My base is getting too dark from touching up the roots at Crown and back of neck. It looks black even though i use chromasilk 6n. Can i lighten the base before i highlight?

Hi what pattern should I place my highlights as a touch up in between appts if when I pull my hair back since when I pull my hair back more often now it’s dark and when it’s down it’s light but, needs a touch up til I get an appt. Thanks🥰

Letting hair go grey. Previously dyed blonde. Was wondering is there any non bleach product to tone demarcation line please

My hairdresser dyes my roots level 5 with 20 vol 3 times a year. She had done the full head level 5/0 a year ago but i prefered it as it faded and looked lighter than my roots. I said this too her but i said i think it needs a refresh as its looking a bit red. She had used perm 5/0 on my roots for 20mins the perm 5/0 on my mid length ends for another 20 mins. Now my ends look black. Next year when i need it re doing what should i ask for?

What would be the color to cover grey hair when you have level 2 hair or level 3 hair ??

I just wandering what kind of purple shampoo I can use for my hair I did ash blonde on my base colour

I have level 5 and 6 hair that hasn't ever been dyed. To much maintenance.. now I'm in my 40s and beginning to see some grey stands. I've been pulling them out, and honestly my naturally hair has streaks that make it not too noticable, but I would like to keep my hair basically the same color and have a wash in shampoo/dye that just covers the grey. Maybe I can wash it in in the shower every two weeks or so. Is there anything like that? I thought I saw a video of wash in color that you put out a while back, but can't find it. Thanks!

Is it possible to cover grays with a demi or semi-permanent color so they look like highlights?

Can you do toner with a #10 developer (for less damage)

Can you recommend developers that don’t smell bad. I know most do but one that smells the least. With having to dye my hair at home I don’t want a lingering smell around too much because of my little one

Hoping you see this and respond. I have my license, but I got out of the industry and its been a couple years. My BFs mom has heavy grey roots. She has been box dying. I have been using 6NBR from Redken. Her roots take weird and then a few washes later it matches the rest of her hair color. Her minds to ends need a refresh and I can use the shades EQ, but I am afraid of how it will turn out. Should I use another 6NBR in shades? I have to look at the line to see what they have. Can I not use the cover fusion of redken for the mids to ends? Roots first and then come back for mids to ends?

I working in dubai we mostly use other brands not Redken color so when toners uses like p,G I found difficult

Hi can i ask if you use extentions your hair is to die for xx

Hi how do you avoid green tones when you apply ash onto stripped yellow orange hair please

Hey 😊 so how much developer should I use for box dye

I know this is a yr.old video Sylvania but I was wondering how to color hair at home after hairstylist tiger striped my hair with brown, red and white blonde. Help! Can't go to another stylist because of quarantine. Can I use Clairol nice and easy (medium blonde) over roots then rest of tiger stripes as roots are medium brown with some gray. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.🤔

At 4:03 you talk about using a toner to “stain” the hair. My question then is, would I use a volume 10, 20 or no developer with the toner? That part wasn’t clear to me. Thank you.

So if i used permanent color level 8 on level 6 hair, then used a toner of level six ash it would work to cover the brassines

My virgin natural hair (level 6) and fresh cut is no where near the light blond I want after 2 Session. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY!

Im brunette but my roots are bleached to a level 5 and they look very brassy, would an ashy toner make it look more natural and dark blonde?

I am a natural brown and my hairdresser has gotten me to a silver ash with black roots. However we keep getting a rusty color between the silver and the black. How can we get rid of the rusty line of color between the two colors? My hairdresser says there is nothing we can do about the rusty part between the two.

I wish she said which developer she would have recommended for that level 5

The beauty store said: "purple shampoo made for (blonde hair)", said it works just as good on (brownish/auburn hair) that will (remove yellowish goldish white hair). Is that true or false? For use on Natural non color auburn/ brownish hair.?????And will it brighten up the white hair???
