Yup. I went full-on split test mode and colored my own gray roots using Matrix Super Sync on one side and Igora Vibrance on the other. 

Same sectioning, same processing time, same lighting. 👩🏽‍🔬

To compare the gray blending, tone, and overall finish side by side.

Spoiler alert: Im really bad at coloring my own hair and one side surprised me 👀

If you’re a stylist trying to decide which demi line to stick with or someone looking to blend grays without going full permanent, this video is packed with REAL results, no filters, no fluff.

This wasn’t a one-day fix. It took two full days and some serious patience.

Here’s the full breakdown:
✨ Day 1: Oxidative dye hair color remover
✨ Day 2:
→ My signature Universal Foilayage Technique (only inside Hair B&B University)
→ Demi color in between foils
→ Seamless Go-To Colormelt application
→ Bond-building treatments
→ A haircut to bring everything together

Color corrections like these take time, strategy, and a whole lot of skill and this red to blonde color correction is one of my favorites to date.
