Box dye on top of bleached hair... im done...

Hi, beautiful. How are we today? You guys have put me through a lot recently, and today I'm hoping to reverse that and see some really beautiful stuff happen. I've been manifesting a lot lately, so hopefully my manifestations become a reality, or maybe it'll be like usual when we see a bunch of disasters. And don't worry, today I will be rating their hair transformations. Will they be good or will they be bad? We don't know. >> As you can tell from the title, I am dying my hair. Um, I'm currently sectioning my hair right now, but let me show you all the stuff that I um have. I have all of the credentials right here. So, I have bree and then 20 developer toner and then hair [music] dying kit. And then we have the dye. >> Oo, we got a lot of going on right away. I mean, she has almost jet black hair. It is very, very dark. And I hope that that's her natural hair color because that would help her a lot. And if it's not, it's not going to lift out very well. It's going to be very difficult. I don't know what the hell I want to do for the hair. So, like I'm currently like sectioning the bangs and then I'm just sectioning the pieces that I want. All right. This is what we have so far. I'm so scared. Okay. >> Okay. So, she sectioned out the front parts of her hair. I don't know where she's going with this, but she does have 20 volume. She has bleach and she has T18 and blue. I don't know why you need T18 if you're going to color your hair blue. I don't know what that is. Also, I highly doubt her hair is going to get to a level 10. That's what T18 is, is a level 10. So, that would make T18 completely useless and a waste of money and a waste of time to use. Okay, great. >> I just feel like a little high from that. Okay. Um, let me actually show you guys me. Wait, guys. I'm like kind of shaking. I'm like a little scared. Okay, now not too much with the scoops, right? I prefer you to do one scoop at a time, two if you really want to and you work really fast. But when the lightener is exposed to air, it oxidizes. So you don't want to leave it sitting out for an hour by the time you get to the front of your hair. Then your hair will end up two different colors, and that's not the vibe. Even though a lot of you do that, we're mixing. This is making my head hurt. This smells so terrible. >> Oh. Oh, got it. SO, WE'RE JUST GOING TO take a huge clump of hair and start coloring it. Perfect. I hate that. Um I I still don't really know what this section is. She has one ponytail at the top of her head and then she has the rest. I don't know. There's a lot going on here. But what I do know is that section is way too thick. Take like a third of that section next time and you will be good to go. >> Hey guys. So, this is me doing a voice over. I'll be honest, mainly half of this video is me doing a voice over because I honestly [music] didn't want you guys to be so like bored of the process. >> Those of you who know me know what I love about what's going on here. She applied the bleach before putting in the foil. It is so much more DIY friendly to do it like that instead of like trying to do like a hairdresser who puts the foil down and does the and then does the thing. If we're not professionals, don't try to be one. just do it the DIY friendly way, which is this. I love to see it. She's going to get better saturation using her hands to apply the bleach than she is with a brush because her sections are way too big. >> So, this is me sectioning [music] the next part. And I'm going to be honest, I am so bad at sectioning stuff. Looking back at this video, I honestly have no idea why I kept taking off my gloves and just free ball bleaching because my hands were so itchy after this. Anyways, [music] um here's me sectioning the next part. >> Wait, we took off the gloves? We were wearing gloves. We were doing a great fantastic job and then we took them off. Why would we do that? What was the point of that? Tell me, please. >> And unfortunately, I like I said, [music] I suck at sectioning. So, my boyfriend is coming on his way about to I'm about to say it. I unfortunately cannot get the back of my head. So, um my boyfriend's coming over and we're back to the dying. Okay. So, while I waited for my boyfriend to get his way over here, I just decided to bleach the other side. [music] And I'm not wearing gloves once again. Yay. >> I mean, y'all cannot wear gloves all you want. It's just like I just feel for your hands. I mean, your skin's going to be like, "What the are you doing to me?" on fire. Ow. And I don't like that for you. Okay. I love the way she's manhandling this hair like it's her b. Now, that's what I want y'all to do. You my [ __ ] [ __ ] hair. That's what I want you to treat your hair like, except not when you're brushing it. You know, you guys all yank your [ __ ] hair when you brush it. That's the time not to treat your hair like a little bit. When your hair's wet like that, treat it like a cute baby princess with long eyelashes and [music] rosy cheeks. Ooh, and a red lip like that. >> All right, now I'm sectioning the next piece. >> I mean, we are scrunching that foil, aren't we? I'm getting better at that. I feel like that one was really good. That is just not what we ever want to do, guys. God damn. It's like imagine how many times I repeat [ __ ] and two people just don't ever listen to me. JUST STOP WITH THE SCRUNCHING. One [ __ ] foil, another [ __ ] out foil on top. It's not that hard. It's actually much easier that way. Who's scrunching foils? There are actually hairdressers that scrunch foils and it has always stressed me out. Like I don't know what the point of that is. You risk uneven color saturation when you are scrunching foils down on bleach. Okay. >> All right. Now it's raccoon tail time. I honestly like this part of [music] my hair a lot because I get a lot of compliments on it. But one thing though, this sucks bleaching because it never gets lighter and like it just looks [music] so gloomy and stuff. >> Okay, there is a whole lot of going on. She has these front pieces colored and now she's adding a [ __ ] tail which go the [ __ ] off. >> But it's okay. I mean, you can still see it though, but it's whatever. >> All the scene girls from the OG scene era, they were all using clip-in extensions. They weren't coloring their hair. Some of them were okay. Some of them aren't, but most of them clip in. >> But um it is time to take this [music] out. [screaming] I'm so scared. Oh my god. Yo, what the [ __ ] Okay, guys. My boyfriend's here. >> So, that's not light enough. That looks very dark and not favorable to the eye. I don't love it. I don't hate it. I think it needs about 10 more rounds of bleach before we can get anywhere good. But we're making progress, I guess. >> Oh [ __ ] >> Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] >> It's blonde. >> Blonde. >> How did this lift better than all these two? Do you see it? Like these two are lighter than this one. >> It's not that bad. >> I believe you. Hey guys. Okay, so >> I'm guessing the reason for that was because one of the sections were smaller than the other. The more smaller your sections are, the higher they tend to lift, the faster they lift. If you take really tiny paper thin sections and you put a little 10 volume on there, you can lift that baby to a [ __ ] white in about 30 minutes, 80% of the time. Little disclaimer there. >> It is a little crispy. I [music] want to lie to you. We're going to do bleach round >> now. Why the hell is it 10 different colors? And why do we have a black strand going through the hair? I see yellow, I see orange, and I see black strands. >> I see dead people. And now she's going to try and do it again without having it sectioned again properly. >> All right, now on to Bleach 2. I'll be honest, [music] look back at this footage. My boyfriend just sits there so awkwardly, but it's okay. He's still cute though. I still love him. >> Okay, well, we're going for round two. Obviously, she's just said that. But she is putting round two over these black strands that have made its way into the blonde parts, which I hate because now she's going to have orange again stripes going through her hair. It's going to be a mess no matter what. I just realized I'm supposed to be telling you [music] guys how to do things better. Okay. Well, don't do this. >> It took us a really long time to separate the regular part and the raccoon tail. >> Don't do this. I always see you guys do the whole I'm not going to do the root first method thing because the heat from the scalp makes the hair lighten faster thing. Great. Love to see it, but then you do it completely wrong every single time. I basically have never seen anybody do it right. Maybe a little bit, but not really that well. She didn't let her hair get blonde yet. Guys, you need to let your hair get really light blonde before we then go in on the root because the root will pick up no matter what. It'll just go. It's burning hot in there. >> I did delete that part out because it was Oh, honey, [music] it took forever. Like, I'm pretty sure I bleached some parts of the raccoon stripe, but it's whatever. And this is where my boyfriend comes in. He helped me section the back. He also did help me [music] bleach some of the parts, but I honestly did not really trust him. >> All right. Well, we colored our whole forehead. You guys are so lucky you don't have sensitive skin. I say this every single week. I know. I'm sorry, but I put a little drop of bleach on my forehead the other day. I had a full-on rash on my forehead for 3 days. Where are my sensitive skin girls at? Say hi. Introduce yourself below. I would love to say hi back. The front's looking lighter for sure, but I don't know what happened to the foils. The foils were a great idea. You have very dark hair. We need that heat. Please put them back on. It will help add heat to the strand so that this hair gets nice and light. >> But, you know, I still love them though. But I Yeah, I'm I don't know. Also, I'm so sorry [music] if you guys keep hearing like those squeaky noises. It's mainly because I'm in bed right now editing [music] this, so don't mind it. >> Okay, so clearly now we're going on the back of the head and we're doing the same thing we did in the front. Okay, great that we're doing the back. Not a problem. The bad part is we're putting this all in at the same time. I hope she's going to rinse out the front before the back because the front is going to be done soon. Not soon, but like before the back is done. I'm just not getting it. Why didn't we do the back previously? I guess cuz she needed her boyfriend to help her section her hair. I feel like that is the least difficult part of everything. But all right, she's getting that bleach in there. Her using her hands is making me very, very happy. Now I'm going back with my raccoon [music] tail because like I said earlier, it literally would not lift at all. Like no matter how much bleach I did, still wouldn't [music] lift. But it's okay. I still liked it though. I took out the other blonde parts in the front and letting them just air dry and doing the back of my head. All right. While I was bleaching that part, I let my boyfriend bleach the back of my hair. He did a really good job, honestly. >> Okay, the front is rinsed out. And I will say it's looking light enough for blue to go over. That's great. I'm really happy that worked out. I don't know how the that worked out, but it did. And she's going to do the back hopefully the same because again, that somehow worked out in her favor. So, let's just replicate it, right? That's the easy part. Just replicate it, please. And this is where we messed up. So, unfortunately, my boyfriend did not really do a good job of sectioning my hair and the back of my head was kind of messed up. So, next clip is me fixing it. Thank you, >> guys. So, it's currently later in the day. I just got off from work. So, we have a problem. >> Oh, [screaming] it's blue. So, the plan is that I am just going to dye [music] the back of my head black and just have these pieces in the front. And that's really it. >> Okay. So, here's me dyeing the back of my hair black. Back [music] to normal. >> Sorry, there's so much going on. I Where did she This is like I This is a different person than we just saw. I mean, I'm kidding. It's actually the same person, but does this not look like a different person all of a sudden? Holy [ __ ] Hair can really change people, huh? >> Um, my sister did help me. I did have to not record that part, but you know, we got it done. All right. And I am doing my raccoon tail once again. >> I'm glad she's covering up the back because I feel like the front already looks pretty cool and I'm digging it, but the back, I don't know. I don't think the blonde was needed back there >> because, you know, as you can tell, it [music] is still not light enough. [gasps] What a great life. >> Okay, so the issue she has there is that the blue is bleeding into the blonde. Whenever you put a really light color next to a really dark color, you're going to get bleeding. So, keeping this [ __ ] tail nice and bright and [music] white on those lines is never going to happen. The moment you wash your hair, they're going to either turn blue or black. And uh yeah, good luck with that. That's why I always say hair extensions for [ __ ] tails. >> This is me putting purple shampoo on on my orangey, very toned hair. Um I did not realize until after I made this video that I actually needed orange, not wait, not orange, blue shampoo. But it's okay. A girl can dream. >> Why do we tone with purple? [ __ ] shampoo. If you really want to use a purple thing that's not made for this exact application, then just use purple conditioner. You might as well condition your hair while you tone it, right? I don't know why we want to put surfactants on our hair while we tone it. Makes no sense to me. B, there are semi-permanmanent colors that are made to tone blonde, like platinum 5minute top coat. C. Do you want this to stick? I would definitely use a permanent toner in this case [music] because we want to kick out some of that yellow. Mix it with a 20 volume. It'll really be like boom, get that yellow out and deposit a lot of that blue purple pigment so your hair turns nice and bright. >> Guys, it's been like at least like an hour since I've had this in. Probably like maybe two and a half. But um I'm finally going to wash all this out [music] and I hope that I get the like the vision that I want. And I really hope that this is the last wash because I've already [music] washed my hair like seven times and I know that's not good for you. So, I don't know why we didn't overapply the blue cuz it looks a little bit faded and I don't like faded [music] blue. I want it nice and punchy. Okay. >> Hey guys. Okay, [screaming] so I went out with my friends and I did some errands so I couldn't finish the video. But here is the final look of my hair. I would say though it isn't like the best like of my work though. Unfortunately, I got rid of the blonde because it [music] was not working out for me like at all. The blonde was so orange and it like wasn't getting any lighter with purple shampoo or toner. But don't worry, I'm pretty sure I'll do a better job once I retouch it. >> Um, I have a lot of thoughts and opinions. A, I wish she kept the blonde in the front. She needs to bleach it again and she needs to tone it again with the right toner. That's a B, the blue looks a little washed out, but C, I will say I love this look on you. The blue is really fun. The coail is fun, even though it's very faded and a little bit um undiscoverable and a little bit hard to see, but I can't help but to just love that transformation from that really dark, just simple hair to this really out there blue look. I mean, this fits your personality and your vibe way better. There's definitely a whole bunch of issues going on. Trying to ignore those issues, look past them because overall, I think this is a much more fun look for you, and I think it fits your personality and your vibe way better. So, because of all that, I'll give you a rating of a three. I just decided that I want my hair to be more blonde. So, what do you say we do that together? What do you say WE DO THAT TOGETHER? HUH? WHAT DO YOU SAY WE DO THAT? WHAT do you say we make me blonder? I have a highlight cap at home calling my name. I just got my haircut and I am feeling impulsive. A highlight mother cap. Is that what I heard you just say? A highlight cap. I will be honest with you. I was about to say, "Oh, [ __ ] This is going to go horribly wrong." But sometimes I have seen men use highlight caps and it actually looks fire. Which one will he be? I don't know. We're going to find out. Obviously, >> I already have some highlights in my hair, but I want more. Hey, hey, hey, hey, [clears throat] hey. Also, I just went and got [music] my haircut. My hairdresser complimented my highlights. So, if you're going to say, "Lighton, don't do this. Leighton, you're going to burn off your hair. Leighton dha knows what he's doing." >> My hairdresser complimented [music] my highlights. She said she thought they look good. [screaming] >> Oh my god. Wow. >> I still have bleach at home. I need developer, a shower cap to put underneath my highlight cap that I already have at home, which I used wrong last time. I didn't realize until now, but it's fine. Anyway, I just want to be more blonde. I could get the premixed lightener, which makes it a lot easier, but I already have bleach, so I'm probably just going to get developer. Also need to buy toner. I'm not going to use 30 volume because [music] I might have to do multiple rounds. So, I'm going to do 20. And also, because I've already done it one time, if I catch any [music] bleached hair, I want to make sure it's gentle. We'll see how it turns out. Oh, look where he is. The motherland where you can buy Xondo. You can also buy it at xmodhair.com, ulta.com, Amazon, and so many others. Everything will be linked below for you. >> This is what I used when I tone my hair, so I just bought a big one so I don't have to buy it again. 20 volume developer. Last time I used 30 volume and I had to bleach my hair twice to get it light enough. However, my hair was previously colored. Like when I did this last time, my hair was colored a really dark color. So, I feel like this will be fine. I would prefer not to fry at all. Next, we have shower caps. This is to go underneath the highlighting cap so I don't get spots on my head. And last but not least, Wella Color Charm T14. This is a blue ash toner and blue cancels out orange. [music] Right now I'm struggling with I don't know if I want to start it right now because it's a whole process and I don't really know that I'm up for it. Okay, well I agree 20 volume should be great for you. That should definitely lighten your hair because you have fine thin hair which I feel like every time I say that I'm dragging somebody, but I I also have fine thin hair. It's not a bad thing. Sorry, I just needed to give a disclaimer there cuz I feel like that's really shady sounding. Fine thin hair lightens really quickly and really easily. Nowadays, I usually use 10 volume for my highlights, but you can also use 20. And T14. I mean, hopefully you get your hair light enough to use T14. Except I don't know cuz you're supposed to get toner after you lighten your hair once you know what color it turned out as. You know, that's how it works. Also, I'm kind of nervous about how I'm going to get the back of my head cuz last time I couldn't really do it. First off, we're going to start with this. This is what Google said to do. [laughter] This is what Google said to do if you already used your highlighting cap once and you're going to use it again. So, that's what I did. >> I don't know how that's going to work. How are you going to punch holes through the shower cap? I don't understand. He's putting the shower cap underneath the frosting [music] cap. I've never seen that before. Not once in my life. >> Now, I don't know if I should brush my hair down and if I should do like this. You think I should do like this? I think maybe >> put the frosting cap on your hair in the way that you would wear your hair or else you're going to end up with [music] weird highlights everywhere that you don't want, which you're gonna end up with anyways, but you know, >> I forgot it covers my ears. I can't hear out of it. I want to be like pretty blonde. That's the goal here. We'll see where we get. I'm going to try to put my glasses on while I have this on. Okay, I'm probably going to sit in front of the TV and do this cuz I can't see good. Let me see if I mastered my [music] technique. Oh, wow. That was such a tiny. Okay, so technique has not been mastered. Maybe I should have got a bigger one. >> You have a shower cap blocking the needle. I'm not getting what you're doing. Well, that one kind of a big one. My hair looks a lot longer than I thought it would. Okay, let's try again. Uh, that's that's more like it. This one's way too big. Oh. Oh, it's stuck. If it looks bad, I'll just die. It's not going to look bad, though. This looks like I look like a little baby. >> [laughter] >> I'm going to cut it to me hunched over watching House of the Dragon. >> If only you knew how long we were sitting there. We were sitting there for such a long time. Also, I have to get my me my Mimi to help me with the back. Okay, he got all the hair through the shower cap. I don't know how he did that. I mean, it will definitely help with the bleeding. I feel like that extra layer of protection will be nice, but I feel like it's also unnecessary if you just don't push down on the holes when you're applying color on top of these frosting caps. Just be gentle with it and don't push down on it or you will get a bunch of bleed marks and you will die. >> We now have to NYX the bleach. Also, I think the bleach has to go on like really fast as soon as you mix it cuz I think it stopped working. I think it only works for 30 minutes at a time and then it just damages your hair. Do not use higher than 20 volume developer on scalp application. [music] This is about to start smelling crazy. Oh, it does. All right, we're mixing up the bleach and we're about to apply to the hair. I am worried about how much hair is coming out of this cap. Like that is half of his head that it's going to be blonde. It's going to be more like nearly the entire head is colored like mine rather than highlights. Nothing to it but to do it. Should I do my hair back like this? I really don't feel like talking right now. I'm going to do this and then I'll come back. I really feel like I just need to lock in right now. >> I love all of you say the same thing. Like you start coloring your hair, you're like I can't talk. It is so [ __ ] hard to talk while doing hair color. And appreciate your hairdresser for them talking while they do it because there's a lot of mental activity going on. It's not just like a cookie cutter easy thing to just do color. It's like you're thinking and then you're also thinking about their conversation at the same time. It's a talent, I'll tell you. Especially filming videos and having a client and doing your hair at the same time. I don't like it. It hurts. If I have a couple dog hairs in my hair, it'll be all right. It's not the end of the world. Okay, I don't care. Let's just do this really bad. We haven't much time. I'm gonna make sure it's real saturated after I get a good base layer because I don't want I don't want to process unevenly. >> I don't feel like talking. I'm not going to talk. Just going to get real good in there. So, he's doing what I said I didn't want to see, which is push down really hard and really get that brush in there. I don't want to see that when you're doing cap highlights. I want to see that when you're doing everything else mostly, but not this. Not this at all. This will make bleed marks, but he does have a shower cap underneath, so I think we're okay. At least he's fully saturating the hair like a lot. >> I think it's supposed to be 30 minutes. We should go I look. We should go check though, just to be sure. >> The word that I really like to hear right there is check. Always check. Okay. You don't need to rinse it off just at 30 minutes because it was 30 minutes. It's not like hair color. Hair color and bleach are different things. Hair color, there's a set amount of time you leave it on for, say 30, 35 minutes [music] or so. Whereas bleach, there's no set timing. There is a max time typically, but there is no minimum. As long as it's light. >> How long should you let bleach sit with 20 volume developer? 20 to 30 minutes. Okay. See, that's exactly what I said. We don't like we don't want to do that. We don't we want to check the hair strand. We want to uncover the hair strand from the bleach and go. Is it done? No. Okay. I leave it on for longer. Is it done? Yes. I don't leave it on for longer. We're putting a cap over the head. That is great news. That is going to help keep the heat in while the hair is processing so it can get lighter and brighter faster. >> You have 2 minutes and 50 seconds left on your 30inut timer. >> I'm [music] going to rinse. We have to do a round two. It's yellow. >> Macaroni hair. Okay. See this? This is not light enough at all. You can just put more bleach over bleach. You can just reapply. The lightener just oxidized and it just lost its power. You can just put more on top. You don't have to take it off. This just adds a whole another step. >> Well, it's kind of close, but we definitely need a round two. Well, I'll try to do a better job of application next time. We got to blow dry my hair. >> It's definitely orange. So, round two is a great idea cuz once you take this cap off, you're stuck with those highlights. You can't redivide the hair. You can't only color the highlights again. You have to get it right this time. And this time needs to be the last time you color them. Otherwise, you're going to end up mixing the brown in with the lighter pieces, and then you have a whole mess. You just can't do it again. Okay. All right. We're on round two. We're applying the 20 volume again, which is a good idea. I'm not hating this. This is what we're looking like before blow drying. There are a couple pieces in the front that are still pretty golden that I might have to like touch up later. I don't know. Oh, I blonde. It looks so ew, Brooks, you're smacking lips. [clears throat] >> Super paranoid. You're going to be mad cuz something's not going to be right. >> I'm eating watermelon. Oh, I knew to start this late in the day because this is taking all day. I feel like uh I feel like I look like Fred from Scooby-Doo Halloween costume. Okay, so far I don't hate the blonde. It's definitely yellow. It's definitely very blonde. Like I said, it was going to be very very blonde. And that's okay. I don't hate it. It's just very uneven. It's like the only the top of his head is blonde, but the sides and I don't know what's going on. The back everything [music] is just there's brown all around. I don't get it. And now we're going to tone with permanent color, which is going to lighten his natural hair. So, he's going to be left with roots that grow in over time on his entire head. Let us begin. We're going to be mixing. I don't feel like doing all that zoom in and stuff. Is it okay if I don't? I feel like I look really short and hunchback. Like a really short hunchback old lady right now. How many ounces is this? This is I'm just going to do grams again. I usually just do the whole thing just so I can really get my head saturated. It's I'm just going to do it. 42 oz. I mean 42 g. Whoa. Well, I can do that math in my head. Alexa, >> no, I'm just kidding. No, I am kidding. I can do that in my head. It's just going to take me a second. >> 4 and 2 is four. So, 84. I told you I could do it. I think I have this calcula. Every hair stylist ever. Okay. He's using the T14, which is a horrible, disastrous, diabolical choice for toner. Use a semi-permanmanent toner next time or a semi-permanmanent toner that does not lift. This is the time where you pick it up and you just put it on and you comb it through. I say this every week of my life. >> It's just getting everywhere. This is Oh my god, I have a cut on my hand and it's burning so bad. >> This is the most chaotic toning experience I've ever watched in my life. [music] I mean, it should be easy. Throw it on. >> I'm kind of just about to go in with my hands and go rogue and go crazy. I want to make sure it's real evenly coated. Okay, Alexa, set a timer for 15 minutes. >> Okay, the toner is finally put on his head. We're going to find out what the results are now. >> It's now the next day. I haven't styled my hair, so just ignore that. Also, the goal wasn't for it to be as silvery as it is. I wanted it more neutral, but it'll fade and it'll be all right. >> Okay, the video's not over. Hold on. There's still something left. I'm skimming over and I'm seeing another cap. I was just about to say that his hair looks great and [laughter] I'm obsessed and it looks perfect. Like I I mean it looks very very good for our little DIY highlight moment now. Is it the point where we're going to go wrong? Like are we just going to do something more? Why are we doing something more? You also got the toner right? I don't know how that worked out for you, but but yes, go you. >> We're going to try and jaren dish up. We're going to try and darken this up and add some dimension to it. >> Why? You wanted highlights. Now your hair is highlighted. It almost looks nearly the same as what you started with. And now we're going to add the low lightss back. So, we're going to go right back to where we started. So, we're doing a highlight cap, obviously. So, okay. Wow, I can't see past my bangs. Wait, do people not put the Do people usually pull this farther back on their head? That is a lot smaller than what I did my highlights. My highlights were real chunky. So, [music] and I'm trying I feel like that's not enough hair. I feel like that's not going to do anything. That's why I did it more up here last time. Um, should I start over? I wanted it to be Okay, I think I'm going to start over. And I'm pulling this more towards the front because I have boy hair and I want to make sure I'm catching the highlight cuz really the front is where I want the most. Okay, I think I've done enough. I'm going to comb them out. We have to hope that my hair doesn't turn green cuz that's what I'm worried about. Okay, your hair should be fine cuz you're not going that much darker than you already are. I don't think unless you're doing like black low lightss, which I really hope you're not. That would not look cute. About a level six low light would look really good on you. Something kind of more like a neutral ash tone would look really nice. >> Fingers crossed [music] that this makes my hair look more natural. If not, oh well. I feel like this is the easiest way to apply it without pressing it into the cap, which is what it advised not to [music] do when doing this method of low light. >> Okay, I don't know what he's using, but I'm glad that he only took out a few strands of hair. Like, he didn't do as much as he did with the highlight. So, this is just going to add like a little bit of dimension without completely changing the look. All right, now we [music] process. >> I did not need all that color. You see how much I have left? >> I wish I knew what he was lowlighting with so bad. >> Well, I just discovered I accidentally bought permanent color instead of demi-permanent color. Kind of bummed out about that. I just assumed that all of the creams [music] were demi-permanent. I didn't think that they were permanent. I didn't think all of them were permanent. Worst part is it really doesn't even matter like if it's [music] permanent or demi-permanent that they're both going to wash out. Okay, he can definitely use permanent in this case. I'm not too worried about it. He's not going that much darker. You can definitely use D permanent, but permanent might last a little bit longer in this scenario. >> This is where we're at. I think I'm [music] going to rinse now. >> All right, enough of this [ __ ] Let's see the final result. >> This is what my hair looks like. Does it look that different? No, not really, honestly. Like, I kind of did that for no reason. But it's okay cuz at least you got entertainment out of it. I had to buy some Ollex purple shampoo because my hair kept getting really yellow. Um, which honestly means I should probably use a different toner, but uh problem for a different time. It is very soft, actually. So, that's how you know I did it right cuz my hair isn't fried off. >> Okay, [laughter] his hair looks exactly the same as it did before. I'm happy personally because I liked it, but I think that he wanted it darker. It didn't work out. I'm so sorry. But I do really love the look. I like the blonde on you a lot. I feel like it compliments your skin tone, your lighter eyebrows, your light eyelashes. I think it just looks really good on you. So, that's awesome. It looks beautiful, but we went through a lot and we didn't need to do those low lightss at all. So, because of that, I'll give you a monometer rating of a four. >> I feel like I've completely lost myself this pregnancy. I don't do anything with my hair anymore. I barely ever put makeup on. I don't dress how I used to. I'm going to go to Sainsburries. I'm going to buy a hair color remover, some bleach, a color, and let's reinvent myself again. I'm 30 on Sunday. I'm coming to the end of my pregnancy, and I want to feel like me again. So, let's go. >> Okay. I mean, there's a lot going on with her hair already. There are red roots and black ends. I don't know if that was on purpose or the color faded kind of weird, but go off. It's something. Um, she's going to remove the color though. So, let's see what we're doing. I don't know what color we're going to 100% gray coverage, permanent hair color. Okay. Orange [music] color, gray, copper color. >> Right. So, this is what we are dealing with. It's like a readyy [music] brown on the top, little bit of red here, black on the ends. >> So before she starts, I'm envisioning for me, myself, and I for her blonde. I want to see her blonde so bad. I think it would look really, really great on her. Like a natural blonde tone would look beautiful. But if she wants to have some fun with it, like a pink would be really cool on her. I don't know if I'm loving the red or the black. >> This is what we are starting with. Let's see how it goes. Tang film is on. I have heated it up just as they is advised. [music] So, let's leave it on for 60 minutes and I'll be back. So, this is it after the first round. Definitely a lot of lighter on the root and very patchy on the sides. Still a lot of black. >> Um, okay. I don't know what happened there. Either you didn't apply it evenly or it was just the worst color remover ever because I don't know why that didn't lift out more. It really should have done more. It did not remove the black and we really needed that to happen. There is so much patchiness now. It looks worse. Sorry. >> So, I'm going to go in again. If that doesn't work, I think I'm going to have to do a [music] bleach bath. Round two. I don't have any hopes for this, but we will see. Round two. It's definitely a lot lighter on the top. Ends aren't budging, which is what I expected as there is a lot of black dye on there. So, I'm going to go to the shop. I'm going to get some bleach and I'm going to do a bleach bath. Focus it on the ends. Bring [snorts] it up to the root. >> First of all, it looks a lot better. It looks lighter now, for sure. We just lifted out a whole lot of artificial color. The second thing she said, though, is what makes me want to [ __ ] die. A bleach bath. Why a bleach bath? This is not the instance to use a bleach bath. Stop the bleach bath, guys. You heard bleach bath one time and everybody just ran for it. They're like, I'm coming for you. She needs to actually bleach her hair now, not bleach bath it. The bleach is on. As you can see, it is starting to go orange already. I am really, really hoping it is not going to go patchy. >> We couldn't have done this in a worse way. We're not only using a bleach bath. We're also putting this on our entire head, right on those roots, all at the same time as the miz and ends. You're going to get hot roots. And you put cling wrap all around your head and squish your hair right down to your scalp. That's going to really heat up certain spots of your head and make them very much brighter than the rest. I've tried [music] my best to get it everywhere to get everything saturated. So fingers crossed. >> There looks like to be no bleach on the head. So I don't know where the saturation happened. >> This is it after the first bleach bath. Obviously hot roots. Expected that. Light brown orangey ready color. Still lots of black. >> Now is the time to stop and just go dark cuz it's not getting any better. It's actually progressively getting worse as we keep going on. We now have blonde roots, red midsections, and black just painted in random [music] areas. Put it back to how it was. And just make it all dark. I mean, this is just where are we going from here? And if you knew hot roots were going to happen, then why do we do it like that >> on the ends? So, I think obviously I'm going to leave the roots and the mids. And I'm just going to have to bleach the ends. So, I actually done a bleach this morning. Still patchy. I just want to go over them dark bits. And I did miss a patch here as I did run out of some bleach. So, I'm just going to do a bleach bath. I one more round. Time to put the [music] color on. >> I'm not even going to say anything, guys. I'm not going there. I'm not talking about bleach baths again. >> Okay, so this is after my third bleach bath, and that is my last one. They are so broken, [music] but I expected it because I bleach my hair all the time. >> God damn, that is fried. [ __ ] That is mushed. That is just That has definitely been through some [ __ ] over and over and over and over again. And the front it looks pink. And we have not gotten into a better position than we began with really. I mean, it's lighter for sure, but it is still crazy. I mean, if you're going to go deep red, great position to be in. She's trying to go copper. We need to lighten those ends more. Another two shades before we can go copper. The top, I'll take it. even though it's spotty. >> But it's that a good color that I can put the copper over it. I am going to give it a cut first just to get the dead ends off. Okay, so I've cut it. I might need Jake just to sort the back out. But for a quick at home cut, >> we done got rid of the half the head of hair. And honestly, she needed that bad. Now, if you would please do some face trimming layers, I would absolutely love that because those blonde ends need to be trimmed. And that's the way you do it while retaining [music] length. Okay, please do it and add layering everywhere so that we can get rid of more of these dead ends and we can retain length. >> Okay, so about 5 minutes in of me putting it on my whole head, it really started burning up, >> right? Okay, so the reason why your head's burning is because you have just bleached it three times in a row and done color remover. Your scalp is raw. That is just stripped of all nutrients and goodness. I mean, it is going to hurt for the next week, okay? Don't do that. just let it rest and let those oils build back up on your scalp and let your scalp just heal and then we can put color on it. I would really just recommend you stop. >> I mean, I think it would have been a really really pretty color. Um, but obviously it hasn't [music] taken because it wasn't on long enough. I do have this one that I bought in the shop as a backup. Okay, so now we're putting more permanent color over her disintegrating hair. That is mush. and we're putting permanent color over it, which means it's going to lift and deposit color. Lifting is always damaging. We don't want to do that unless we have to, unless the hair is very dark, okay? But we're just trying to make the hair darker. So, we don't want to lift anything. So, stop demi or semi-permanent color would be the right choice here. And I would definitely choose semi because we need those excellent conditioning properties like bomb booster, hyaluronic acid, plant-based protein, and oils all on our hair while we color so our hair feels better postc coloring. Okay. And here is the result. She put that box color over it and clearly it made the roots very orange and the rest just turned a brighter red somehow some way. It looks kind of purposeful. I don't love it. I don't hate it. I'm undecided what I think about it. I think I just know the journey of getting here and it was really [ __ ] up and crazy that it's making this final look just look like just [music] wasn't supposed to be like that. You know, I think it was supposed to be like all one color and it's just absolutely not like that. And it definitely has a lot of flaws, but it's wearable and it's kind of cool. And for that on the monometer, I gave you a two. I guess it's okay. >> You are now part of my hair journey. Let's give a little recap, a little hair lore. This is the last hair color that you saw me doing here [music] on this channel. My hair has been fading beautifully. I really am into this color. I really, really love it. >> Okay, no shade. The color is a little bit off to me personally. It's giving lavender gray mixed with brassy tones, which for me, not my personal favorite, but for you, go off. >> I just love this journey of me trying to take my hair from, you know, [music] doing all fun colors and stuff to this blonde. But hey, fun colors are not over, but for now, I just feel like I want to maintain my blonde hair. 8 weeks is the perfect time to bleach roots, especially [music] so you wouldn't have a lot of trouble because waiting more than that, that's a recipe for disaster. >> [music] >> So, this is the perfect amount of time for me, uh, you know, to like tackle these roots. >> Okay, we're about to bleach her roots. And what could go wrong, right? We're going to refresh this color and make everything nice and bright again. I feel like a lot of things could go wrong because bleaching your roots is one of the hardest things to do yourself when you're a dull process platinum blonde like this, or not platinum, but like you get the point. It's very, very difficult. You can't see everything. You risk overlapping, which means damage and a lot of it. And if you're an old member here on this channel, you know that the first step is always going to be oil. And in case of someone's from Brad Mondu team is watching this video and you have the urge to cut out this part just like you did with my last video. I don't put oil on my roots. I don't put oil on my dark hair. I don't put oil on my virgin hair. I don't put oil on the hair that I need to bleach. I only [music] put oil on my blonde parts as a protective layer. So I'm finished applying oil all over my hair. And also there's another part that I remembered. I am human, y'all. Sometimes I'm clumsy. >> Okay, she put oil all over her mids and ends, which is totally fine to do. Pointless a bit. Believe it or not, oil is not a deep conditioning treatment. Once you shampoo your hair, oil comes out. It does not last. Okay? So, this is not a treatment. Putting a ton of oil in your hair doesn't make your hair better. That's what we have things like bomb builders for. Those actually make your hair better even throughout washes. And something like a hair mask that is used after you shampoo will make your hair nice and hydrated and healthier and shinier between washes. But once you shampoo it again, all that hydration comes out again. Builds back those proteins and those bonds that will help the overall health of your hair. Not an oil treatment like this. This is going to do absolutely nothing because she's going to wash it out. You know what I mean? >> Sometimes I overlap without even noticing, especially on the crown part, which is a blind spot for me, even though I do have a small mirror behind me to see what I'm doing. And don't get me wrong, oil is a great finishing product, but again, once you shampoo, it comes out. >> And having oil, especially between, you know, [music] like this line especially that splits my dark hair on my blonde hair really helps with [music] just protecting my hair because it adds like this thick layer on my hair. Now, the second step is sectioning my hair. I am going to be doing a section right here, another section right here, and four sections in the back. I just finished sectioning my hair. The sections in the back are lowkey chopped as hell, but you know, they are sections. >> [music] >> Thank you so much for doing four quadrants. >> Great job. >> So, let me mix this. Also, I'm thinking of adding just a little bit of hint of [music] 30 volume. >> 30 volume. [screaming] >> I mainly use 20 volume, but I'm thinking of just adding like a small [music] hint of 30 volume. >> Okay. She made a big deal out of using 30 volume in her formula, which I mean I would have probably used 30 volume in the entire formula. Clearly something went really really wrong because she looks [music] panicked about the 30 volume. Even if you did equal parts 30 and 20, that would only make it a 25 volume, which isn't really that much different than [music] the 20 volume. So, I don't know why we're freaking out about that, but we're going to find out. >> And when I'm mixing for the back of my head, I'm probably even adding more 30 volume. This is the amount of developer that I have here like on my bowl. And I'm going to add three big spoons like this one uh to [music] my mix. One. Two. >> What [music] is that? >> Do not bleach your hair when it's like freshly washed. I washed my hair 4 days ago, which means it's in a perfect state to be bleached right now. >> So, I know I always say don't wash your hair the day you bleach it. Technically, clean hair is the best thing to bleach because it has nothing on it. It's completely stripped of all products. Maybe you need a clarifying treatment. You're going to get the most pure results with that. But if you don't want your scalp to burn and you are okay with risking it just not being as perfect with the bleach application, don't wash your hair before bleaching it. I highly recommend don't do that. I've done it many times. It [ __ ] burns. I hate it. Not for me, but for other people maybe. >> Let's have a small conversation together on why this regular root touchup [music] turned out to be somewhat of a disaster. I was hella wrong for adding that 30 volume. Like I should not have done this. Okay, we're starting on the top of her head, which whatever, fine, I'll take it. Dividing up the sections like that is totally fine. What I will say I'm really [ __ ] excited about is the fact that she's doing this really perfectly. She's starting at the bottom and working her way up in the front section and she's taking paper [music] thin slices across the head and they are perfectly sectioned. It is a beautiful thing to see truly, >> especially because you can see clearly here in these videos that I'm dragging my bleach down way more than I should. My bleaching is definitely touching all the blonde [music] parts. That's called overlapping, which is one of the lead causes of breakage to begin with. >> Okay, if I'm really nitpicking here, and I agree with everything she's saying, she is overlapping a bit, but besides that, see how the sections are kind of pulled forward. Take the hair strand and pull it down so it sits perfectly straight. Otherwise, that existing blonde hair is going to get into the bleach if you don't pull a section down to realign that section with the previous. >> And having low iron is no [music] joke. Oh yeah. What does that have to do with the fact that you're doing your hair right now in this specific video? Well, it has to do with everything. Literally, because [music] I was genuinely not in the best shape to be doing any of that. I wasn't paying attention to when [music] I started applying bleach on my hair, which resulted in the bleach uh being left on my hair more than it should be. Uh now, I did some calculation and I left the bleach [music] for an hour and 15 minutes. >> I don't think that's a lot of time. That's actually probably the perfect amount of time for your very dark natural hair. I'm not seeing a problem. You're calling yourself out for a lot of things, but I'm just seeing a lot of good being done. Besides the fact that it's overlapping, which is your biggest problem. >> Exactly. On my hair, which is a lot actually. Those [music] 15 minutes do be doing a big difference on your hair integrity, uh, on your hair health and all that. >> See that existing blonde is getting all in that bleach. I just keep seeing it happen over and over again. [ __ ] And she's cross-checking. I have never seen a DIY hair person cross check. This is beautiful. Cross-checking just means if you go horizontal with your application, you go vertical with your check. That way you make sure you got every single hairstand. That is so beautiful. I could cry. There's so many great things going on. I'm sad that she definitely didn't have a good result because that voice over, she's just saying all the [ __ ] she did wrong because this is looking great so far. >> And now I'm going to start with the second part that I'm going to probably film in a time lapse. After finishing the two front [music] sections of my head, I decided to take a 10-minute break. I did not feel better after 10 minutes. And then I was like, "Hey, let's [music] make it a 20inut break." And I also did not feel better after 20 minutes. >> My girl is just going through it right now. I feel you. It's so hard doing hair. It's so hard doing anything when you're not feeling well. But like doing hair, it's a lot of manual labor. It's a lot of physicality [music] going on while you do your hair. Especially yourself. O those arms, that everything, the mixing, the fumes, everything sucks. But I will say still, you're doing a great job. And she's about to do the whole back section. >> Kate, let's just start with the back section of my hair. When I feel tired after bleaching like the two front sections, I just washed them. And in the next day, I did the back sections. Like it's [music] not by law that you have to do everything in the same day. Like you can take a rest. Like if you feel like you're not well and you're not in the best shape, you know, don't make it worse. Don't don't be like me. >> I agree. If you don't want to do everything in one day, don't have to do it like that. You can definitely do multiple sessions, which a lot of people do, and it might be better for you if you have a lot of [ __ ] hair like she does. >> But when I tell y'all that I began seeing sounds >> Oh, [ __ ] And hearing colors, y'all are not going to believe how dizzy I was while I was doing the back section of my hair to the point I was trying my best to not show in front of the camera that I was not feeling well. But I was filming and I just had to like pull my together, I guess. I just felt really awful >> from that shot right there. I'm seeing so much [music] overlapping. How did the bleach make it halfway down your bangs? What happened there? It was looking great and then it all of a sudden went halfway down. What the [ __ ] >> There's not a lot to tell here. I swear. Like it's it's a mess. So, I'm fully done with bleaching [music] my roots. After half an hour, I'm supposed to wash this front part and I'm just going to let the back develop for an extra half an hour. I'll be back after I finish washing my hair. >> Oh no. Okay, let's rinse it out and see what we got. >> Hey y'all, it's your favorite Kimmy ever. Next day, I have good news and I have bad news. [music] The good news is there is no random awful brown spotty parts [music] that I forgot about. The bad news is I No, >> I just have anxiety. Are you sure it's safe here? >> Not the breakage. No, babe. You don't deserve it. you are doing such a good job. You don't deserve the breakage at all. Please, oh my god, put it back in your head. >> So, after finishing those two front parts, I [music] become very tired. And I was like, okay, it's okay. Take 10 minutes. Take more. You can wash this whenever you feel like it. You can start in [music] the back whenever. My whole head is processing and I just have this one quarter part left. And of course, since I wasn't seeing what I'm doing, you know, I accidentally of course have over overlapped like crazy, [music] especially in the back. Actually, most of the breakage, like most of those snappy parts that you all see, as you can see, like it's literally from the back and the in like the crown of my hair. >> Wait, how the [music] [ __ ] did it break off down here? The bleach did not touch down there. >> After finishing the last part, I still don't feel good. Accidentally, the [music] part in the front processed more than the back. The part in the front, we can say that's a confident level eight. Maybe even some places, it's [music] like way more lighter. But the back is like literally very, very warm. Oh, if the front rinse out at an hour, then the back needs to be rinsed out in an hour. What happened here? Or we didn't remix our bleach. Something went wrong. >> The solution to an issue like this is that I should [music] do a second round of bleach where I tackle only the like the very warm spotty parts of my hair. So, I know the method, but I don't trust myself with the application because even if I don't look like it, I still don't feel very okay. [music] And also my hair does not feel very well and my scalp is also kind of [music] tingly and sensitive. >> Unfortunately for me, I just did it again. One time my scalp was bleeding and guess what I did? I bleached it again because I had no choice. I can't live unless my hair looks perfect. I can't do it. >> So, I had to cut an insane amount of footage because the application that I'm doing right here is kind of useless. Why, you may ask? Great [music] question. because I out of nowhere for no apparent reason decided [music] to change the formula that I trust that I always use that always works well with me. >> Okay, so she is going to leave the yellow in there, which I obviously hate that idea, but she doesn't want to bleach again. And I guess I understand, but damn, that is yellow. And compared to the gray end she has, it's like [sighs] So I had to cut an insane amount of footage because the application that I'm doing right here is kind of [music] useless. Why, you may ask? Great question. Because I out of nowhere, for no apparent reason, decided to change the formula that I trust, that I always use, that always works well with me. I genuinely do not know what possessed [music] me to do something like that. I am used to using the hair dye called Wild Color in the shade 5.11. This is a dark gray shade and it does wonders when it comes to covering brassiness, uh, spotty parts. It evens out your palette. It's just a great shade that I always use whenever I bleach my roots because I don't want to like sacrifice my hair with multiple rounds of bleach and I still want to have some type of like toned out even hair. >> My girl is going through it like hardcore. Damn. What I'm hearing right now is she mixed the darker toner with a little bit of a lighter toner which made her roots too light I guess in the end result. We're going to see. But that sucks. >> Those two are not the same color. But I you're usually okay with that. You're usually fine with having two-toned hair. You don't you don't mind this. >> Ooh, yikes. It is gray and yellow next to each other now. Ooh. The real way you fix this is by bleaching again. But again, she knows that. So, we're going to guess just do more toner. And the roots are definitely too light to cover up that yellow. So, so the second root toner is going on. And hopefully this one is much darker. It looks like it's processing to be very, very, very dark, like black almost. So, it's definitely going to cover the yellow. Is it going to be too dark? Possibly. She's trying to match her roots to the mids and ends, which her ends actually have a lot of yellow in them. So, I don't know why we're doing this very gray color when the ends are like a blondish gray, like a neutraly yellow gray. We're almost doing too much. We need to put a little bit of gold in this formula. >> Real ones know that I have a very sensitive scalp. So, honestly, with all this and also, I told you that my hair does not feel very well. Like my hair feels okay, but it doesn't feel well. Like I'm used to [music] it feeling okay because I've been taking care of it really well. >> Another great thing to do right now is put semi-permanent color all through the mids and ends [music] to refresh it. That way it'll perfectly match the top of her hair. It will pull this look together so much and make it look professionally done instead of the roots being [music] fresh and the ends being 8 weeks old. Every time we do a salon double process retouch, we are toning the entire head, not just the roots again. Because the blonde hair lets go of that color over time and it oxidizes into a kind of a neutally yellowy tone always. So, we need to refresh it with that ash. >> My hair does not feel really well. So, honestly, like I went back and forth. Should I wait till the 2 months mark so I can like bleach my roots and fix it or should I do it now? Will my hair be like extremely damaged after this? And I was like, you know what? I'm okay having damaged hair but not an ugly color. Anyway guys, genuinely genuinely if the next video is not the reveal, >> the next video has to be the reveal or else. >> All right, let's see the finished result. >> My overall hair is also kind of suffering. I was able to actually detect and find out most of my breakage like where exactly it is. And unfortunately, it is in very visible parts like my crown and this area. It was growing steadily to [music] this point and it was blending well with the rest of my hair. But unfortunately with this transformation, we're kind of back to ground zero. This is not even top 10 worst thing that happened in the 10 years that I've been dying my hair and I'm able to hide it very well by just like you know brushing it with the rest of the parts or if it was like very very dramatic type of breakage I I can't literally change my part like I can like do that and completely change my part and like you know and live like that cuz I did that before when I used to have a bald spot. >> Okay, she seems happy with the look. I'm not as thrilled. I'm glad you covered up the yellow roots. I dislike the way that the roots are darker and way different tone than the mids and ends. Like, I'm not getting that vibe personally. But like I said, a refresh on the mids and ends would really do you well just to add back some of that ash tone, cancel out this yellow, and even out the color palette. And in the future, I would [ __ ] love to see you platinum blonde. It would look so cool and so good on you. Like even just an ashy tone [music] very blonde look instead of this gray look. I would be like, "Ah, yes." But I get it. It's sort of a vibe. Not exactly for me, but for you, go off. And for all that, plus the breakage, I'm going to give you a three on the motto meter.
