    Only time I trusted a hair colorist, they damaged my hair and made my hair melt and fall. That was about 35 years ago. I tried many brands over the years and Garnier has been my ONLY hair color brand for the last 25 years. My hair is healthy and looks great even though I’m completely grey under my color. I leave it on about 45 minutes because of the grey and never had any damage.

    Brad, I’ve done it all. I’ve dyed my hair so many different times. I’ve bleached my hair. one time I did the absolute worst thing I dyed my hair black and then I decided I wanted to go blonde. So I bleached it with professional developer and then I toned it and I masked you know I did the deep conditioner stuff. My hair was definitely damaged. Would not recommend. But I have loved dying my hair at home. It’s almost always turned out great for me and this was years ago. I haven’t dyed my hair in almost 10 years because I’ve been having a bunch of kids and I thought that you shouldn’t dye your hair when you’re having kids and I’ve been busy with my kids. but I’m about to go dye my hair again!

    Reasons why I love my stylist- worth every penny so I don’t ruin my hair and don’t have splotchy, banded hair. I hated doing my hair at home during the pandemic.

    "We are not all created equal."

    THAT'S FOR SURE. True and shouldn't be controversial.

    Our similarities do not make us the same. Our differences make us different.

    We should celebrate our differences instead of trying to pretend we're all the same.

    Where there is equality, there can be no excellence. 💅🏻

    guilty becuase i kinda love it when my hairdye goes wrong.. it looks so unique like once i used red box dye over grown out black box dye and only my roots took in the red but it looked SO good a bit like ghost roots? recently used colour remover to get rid of the hairdye from that (it was like 4 month old dye) and i went a bit ginger but it looks like ive got golden highlights over black and brown so its actually so cool LOL

    Box color can be great ‘IF’ you are trying to cover those first greys or need to give your color a slight boost. If you want a significant color change or have delicate, easily damaged or breaking hair see a professional. If you have a ‘Texture’ service see a professional. If you have a Permanent, Demi-Permanent or Semi-Permanent color and want to change the color, see a professional. If you are Bleaching or Heavily Highlighting your hair, see a professional.

    I have had red hair for the last 6 months. It was box dye and I did it myself. I got complimented so many times and people thought it was my natural colour which was „gifted“ (hon.est.ly). Now I wanted to got blonde again (natural blonde) and spend 400€ at the salon. Well… I know red is hard to remove and I was there for 6 hours because I have so much hair that I can‘t even think of a good comparison… but my hair now is 50 shades of yellow.

    I used box dye for 20 years. Loved reds. I learned something here. I am a artist and understand the color wheel 🛞 well. Now I am Natural gray 🩶 and love it!!! I used purple shampoo once a month to keep it silver. Thanks for the tips Brad. You are 💯 percent right about the color wheel.

    Went to Ulta beauty I got a purple dye, she bleached my hair, which was brown. She told me (probably cuz she doesn't know how to do hair) we should do an ombre after 5 hours I left there with patches of yellow purple and a dark purple😮 $250 never got my hair dyed again from a hair stylist

    Hair dye in general has come a long way since the 70s. I actually showed up at school with my blonde hair dyed pitch black with those bottles of temporary hair color. Can't remember the name but it was like tempura paint, and the result was like matte spray paint. And yeah I spent a whole semester like that.

  • @R5000-f9q

    You wanted a box dye story: Normally I use a single process and get a blonde, but boring result. (Seriously thinking of going with a different shade.) Anyhow, my hair was already a blonde shade and I got the bright idea to go with a screaming red shade. My hair came out the same exact color as a red glass Christmas ornament you hang on your tree. It was NOT NOT a good result. I had to color over it immediately. I mean right away it was so awful…IF you're blonde be very very careful about trying to go red. If you don't know what you're doing it's going to be 'bad.'

    The funniest thing Brad said was to 'blame us' for 'letting him go ginger.' LOL!! Ah, I loved that! 😀

    Eh, I'm too poor to afford pro color. So, it's the box for me. My dream is to have my hair cut and colored by the gorgeous Brad Mondo. Yes, it's just a dream, but a dream is almost as good as the real thing! <3 So, I'll keep watching his videos. 🙂

    My hair is naturally dark ash blond. I used to want super light ash blond, but box dye always made it look orange so i gave up. Im happy with my natural color now, it's not worth it haha.

    I used to use box dye sometimes when I was younger but now Id rather go to a place where they sell professional level products to get a better quality and the price is reasonable. I have sometimes gone to the pharmacy for a small quantity of bleach and developper though.

    My aunt paid for a professional to come to her home and dye her hair. I happened to be visiting. She wanted a golden blonde colour. The "professional" used a box dye that showed the colour my aunt wanted.

    My aunt had YELLOW hair when the stylist left. My mum, who was with me, was a professional hairdresser before she retired. She was cringing when we left. "She missed an entired section in the back when she cut the hair, never mond the bright yellow hair… But your aunt thinks it looks fantastic, so we will say nothing in front of her… Today."
    Personally, I wanted to dump purple on her head and make it an ash blonde colour as it would look so much better on her 72 year old head than the bright yellow that was not flattering on her. (Purple would actually look better on her head)

    I’ve been colouring hair since 14, i’m 35 now. The years I’ve gone to (expensive) salons to do highlights were the years my hair was most fried, shortest and thinnest. The years of box dye and toner I had people (including professionals) asking me if I have extensions.
    I’m not saying salons and expensive colour is bad… but highlights will f*ck your hair in comparison to just getting your roots done with box dye even every month.
    Healthy hair is beautiful hair… not three feathers even if they’re nicely trimmed and perfectly toned/highlighted.

    My wife asked my barber to start dyeing her hair for her (he has a small, 2 man shop) and she buys 3 boxes of color and it looks really good. He and the other guy usually work together on her head, especially shampooing because she has a lot of hair. She has no complaints with it

  • @jessicacl2689

    I remember purchasing Remy hair extensions clip ins that were incredibly soft then coloring them with Garnier and to my horrors the hair felt so wretched afterward. The red matched my dyed hair but it made me think hmmm… perhaps my hair could be softer as well???

  • @katinaricks3613

    I always use box dye for my hair, I've never been to a salon for color, only for haircuts and perms, but its been years since I last had a perm. The last time I colored my hair I dyed it a little darker than my natural, bleached a section uderneath for a peakabo , and colored it a purplish color, I loved it, I usually color my hair once – twice a year

    This is why I keep my hair one color and do it at home, I’ve had bad experiences at salons before with highlights and I’m terrified of going to the salon and have people do anything different on it, except my normal every few months trims.
