Hey everyone, welcome back to my
0:01
channel. I am Anjuna and this is
0:03
Sparkling Silvers. So, you have got gray
0:06
hair. Guess what? It is absolutely
0:08
fabulous. But maybe like me, you have
0:11
been craving a little more dimension,
0:13
something that adds depth to your
0:15
gorgeous silvers without completely
0:17
covering them with color. That's where
0:24
They are the perfect way to add
0:25
contrast, richness, and a subtle wow
0:27
factor to your hair. Basically weaving
0:30
in slightly darker tones to make grays
0:51
So I came up with the idea of getting
0:53
brown low lightss on my hair myself.
0:56
It's a DIY video. So, if you would like
0:58
to experiment with this coloring
1:00
adventure at home, I'm here to help you
1:03
with some tips and tricks. But for
1:05
perfect results, I would recommend
1:06
seeing a professional colorist. So,
1:08
let's jump into how I did the brown low
1:11
lightss on my hair along with important
1:13
tips that I learned along the way. So,
1:15
let's start. So, this is my hair before
1:18
coloring. Notice how the underside is
1:23
So, I decided to fully cover those with
1:28
I sectioned my hair, clipping away the
1:31
top layers so I could focus on the
1:33
darker parts underneath.
1:41
I'm really really nervous. I really
1:44
don't know if it will work or not and if
1:47
I'm doing the things in the correct way.
1:50
What if the color bleeds while washing
1:52
my hair and it spreads over all over my
1:58
but I believe that everything will be
2:04
Okay. So, the hair color that I'm going
2:05
to use today is this coffee brown color
2:08
and this is from the brand Paradise.
2:11
This is an Indian brand and I have used
2:15
their colors previously in my other
2:18
videos also. So if you wish to uh watch
2:20
those videos, the link is given here
2:23
somewhere on the screen or in the
2:24
description. So please check there also.
2:26
This is a semi-permanent cream base
2:28
color and it washes out from my hair in
2:32
about 25 washes. So I assume that this
2:35
will not stain my hair permanently. They
2:38
have different shades of brown but I
2:40
chose this one coffee brown shade
2:43
because this color does not have any
2:45
yellow undertone. So I assume that when
2:48
it will fade, it will not turn yellowish
2:51
and will fade uh in something like pink
2:55
or reddish fading. Let me show you how
2:58
this color looks from inside. So this is
3:04
This is the coffee brown color. And
3:08
let us start applying it.
3:13
Starting by coloring the underneath part
3:15
completely with color.
3:21
I applied the color with my fingers. It
3:23
gives me more control and I can really
3:25
feel where the product's going.
3:32
Now the fun part, low lightss.
3:36
I took small subsections of hair,
3:38
clipped the rest of hair back.
3:41
Then I went for random streaks.
3:46
No perfect lines here. The goal is soft
4:06
I kept sectioning and applying color,
4:09
making sure to vary the thickness of
4:11
strands for a more effortless look.
5:24
repeated the same process on the other
5:29
Next up, the bands. I combed them
5:31
straight and split them into two
5:33
horizontal sections near my hairline.
5:39
I clipped back the rest and applied
5:41
color to the midsection.
5:59
Then split the remaining hair into three
6:01
smaller parts and added a few subtle low
6:04
lightss here and there.
6:31
And here we are done.
6:37
I wash my hair with cold water.
6:44
This happy face shows that the color did
6:50
And this is how it looks.
6:53
We have some natural color in between
7:32
So, the color turned out amazing, but
7:35
honestly, I expected it to be a bit
7:38
darker, like a rich coffee shade. Still
7:42
beautiful, but not exactly what I had in
7:44
my mind. Here are a few pictures of how
8:11
Normally semi-permanent color washes out
8:13
of my hair in a month or two. Okay, let
8:16
me make it clear first that I'm shooting
8:18
this part of video after 6 months of
8:21
color. So after 6 month as you can see
8:26
there is some warmth left in my hair and
8:29
it looks like brassiness but it is not
8:32
brassiness. It is the brown color that
8:35
is still on my hair. And here is the
8:38
lesson that I learned during this
8:39
coloring adventure. Never use a
8:42
semi-permanent color or a color
8:44
conditioner on your gray hair after any
8:46
chemical treatment. Why I'm saying this?
8:49
Because I had a keratin treatment a year
8:51
ago. I'll share the link in the
8:52
description or on the screen. It
8:54
probably opened my hair cuticles and let
8:57
the dye stain deeper. Well, I don't mind
9:00
the warmth in my hair, but if you are
9:03
someone who doesn't want a long-term
9:05
commitment with hair color, please
9:08
double check your hair history. Chemical
9:10
treatments like keratin relaxers or even
9:14
some deep conditioning treatments can
9:16
change how dye behaves. Actually, I was
9:19
not liking the color. I went full
9:21
science experiment mode with baking soda
9:23
and apple cider vinegar to speed up the
9:26
fading process. That whole adventure
9:27
deserves a complete video.
9:29
coming soon. Overall, I enjoyed the
9:31
change, but would I do this shade again?
9:34
Never. If you try low lights, let me
9:36
know in the comments how it goes. And if
9:38
you want more hair transformation
9:40
videos, like and subscribe. I will be
9:42
back soon with another one. Till then,
9:45
take care and I will see you in the next
