Video summary
Many individuals attempting DIY fall hair dye jobs at home face significant challenges, often resulting in wasted money and time due to common mistakes. One participant aimed for a copper ginger shade but failed because she used a low-volume developer on dark, previously colored hair, causing the dye to only affect her ends while leaving the rest unchanged. Experts emphasize that permanent color works best on natural hair and that layering color over existing dye is ineffective without bleaching first, whereas semi-permanent glosses can enhance existing color without bleach, offering better conditioning and root coverage. Another participant started with dark roots and pre-lightened ends, mixing multiple shades with different developers; despite initial worries about uneven results, her final look was surprisingly even and vibrant, though the process was messy.
The risks of home dyeing are further highlighted when participants attempt to lift orange tones from previously dyed copper hair using bleach mixed with oil additives. These attempts often struggle with application speed and saturation, particularly on fine or fragile hair, leading to errors like aggressively detangling wet bleached hair which risks breakage. Confusion over product quantities and technique frequently interrupts the process, leaving users hopeful that proper sectioning will yield bright results. In one specific experiment, a creator tested a new brushing tip for bleach application, only to find that despite following instructions correctly, the initial processing resulted in severely dry and ineffective outcomes on the mid-lengths and ends, causing frustration over the product's quality or expiration.
Uneven lifting remains a persistent issue, as seen when applying bleach to roots with high-volume developer left visible spots because wiping off transferred bleach from one side did not stop it from continuing to process elsewhere. To address this asymmetry and damaged curls, creators sometimes apply permanent copper color over bleached sections and natural roots, resulting in a two-tone combination of purple-brown and copper tones that is praised for its luxurious texture despite the red roots on one side. While the final outcomes are often superior to the original brown hair, the journey inevitably involves mistakes and damage that could have been avoided by choosing demi-permanent color as a gentler alternative to permanent dye with high-volume developer. Ultimately, unless done correctly or when visiting a salon, home dyeing projects frequently lead to regrettable results that require waiting weeks to retry with better techniques and products.

Have you ever looked at the leaves
changing outside and thought, "My hair
should do that, too." Hi, beautiful.
Today, we're watching people attempt
their own fall hair colors at home. From
copper to auburn to some deep ass red
shades. Don't let me down today, people,
because I love red hair so much. I want
this to work for you. Let's see how this
goes.
>> In honor of fall season, I'm going to be
dyeing my hair a fall color. [music] I'm
going to be dyeing it a copper ginger
color.
>> Wo! [groaning]
Okay, we're doing a copper ginger
moment. Fall has fallen, baby. It's a
little spooky in here.
I'm just curious. Why do we pick up 10
volume and high color? Cuz she has very
dark hair. If we're trying to get this
really bright copper, girl, you're going
to need some more than 10 volume. Maybe
30, 40, something like that.
We did a little shopping at Sally
Beauty. Make sure to check out Xondo at
Sally and all the other stores we're
located in. Link down below.
>> I got three of these. I hope it's
[music] enough to dye my whole head. I
got 10 developers.
>> I think the one tube will be plenty for
you. You can never have too much color.
You can never oversaturate color. I
always say you can just put more and
more on. [music] We want the hair to be
coated. I got this little bowl and it
comes a clip and it comes a little
brush. I think there's gloves in there.
It has this brush. It's very small, but
this was like $4. So, has the dying
brush, a clip. [music]
Why do they only give me one? And I
think this is gloves. And then the cup
for the dye. You have to do it in like
[music] non- metallic, non-metal plates
and bowls and stuff. I hope it comes out
the way I want.
>> All right, we got all the tools and
supplies. Was it the right stuff?
Absolutely not. But whenever is it?
>> I'm going to take out my hair. going to
see what we're working with. My hair,
there's a lot of gel on top. So, this is
my hair. I kind of have a lot of hair.
It's very thick. It's actually wet. I
don't know if I have to dry it. The fact
that there's just this [music] in there.
There's no gloves, no instructions. This
is the tent. This actually smells good.
Why? Why do we always smell the
developer and the bleach? Guys, somebody
has to I mean, all of you have to let me
know what is the the thing with smelling
things. I know it's part of like an
essential [music] human experience to
sniff things, but it gets out of hand
sometimes when we know it's a toxic
chemical that you're definitely not
supposed to sniff. Why do we want to
sniff it? What do you want to know? If
it smells good, why does it matter? It's
just going to lighten your hair. You're
not wearing it as a body fragrance.
>> Hopefully, the 10 [music] gets me to
where I want.
>> That 10 is absolutely not going to get
you even close to what you want. I would
say 40 volume for you at least. Well,
that's as far as you can go, but you
know what I mean. I kind of blow dried
my hair a little bit like in a bag. It
was very um wet. I need like Does it
need to be dry dry or can it be damp?
Oh, this is what I was talking about.
You can see the like the pieces [music]
where I had bleached it. I bleached it
and then I put brown box dye and [music]
then it faded to like this light brown.
>> I'm okay. I'm a little worried about
your ends or you look a little fragile.
But you're only putting ton volume over
it, which is going to do [music] nothing
to the top of your head and it's going
to do everything to the bottom. The
bottom is going to look great. It's
going to be coppery because your hair is
already pre-lightened. the top.
Absolutely not. Not not going to get
even close to what the bottom is going
to get to. You're [ __ ]
>> The lady said it won't take [music] on
my hair. It's only going to take on like
natural hair. But
>> that's not true. It's going to
absolutely take on all your hair. It's
not just going to disappear. What the
worker meant is that permanent hair
color is best used on natural hair. So,
just things that have not been colored
before. Will it still color hair that
has been pre-colored? Yes. It's a very
confusing subject. Just leave it there.
Okay. It's made to go over natural
colored hair. I feel like because it's
light, it should, right? Cuz it's like
lighter than my hair.
>> Correct.
>> Okay. I'm not a professional whatsoever.
This is just to like record my
experience, my journey, whatever.
Disclaimer, don't come for me if your
hair doesn't come out right.
>> I'll never not laugh at the little
disclaimers you guys add. It's so cute.
We know, guys. We know that you're not a
professional. And thank you, by [music]
the way, for filming on a clear camera
with nice lighting. It is so
appreciated. Please, you guys, if you're
going to make a video and you want me to
react to it, please light your scenes.
We want to see your face. 4K would be
great as well.
>> Measure 2.4 fluid ounces [music] of 30
or 40 developer.
>> She is in fact measuring her color.
[applause]
[music]
I have my developer in here. Going to
add my [music] This is called my high
color. This is hard to do with one hand.
So, I'm just going to like squeeze it
and then I'll come back.
>> Damn, that is bright. That is neon. All
right, we are starting to apply that
color and her hair strands are being
fully [ __ ] saturated, [music]
which I love to see. Also called FFS,
fully [ __ ] saturated. Her hair is
looking wet. And this is going to do
absolutely nothing. So, we can fast
forward through this because we already
know this isn't going to work because
it's 10 volume. [crying]
It hurts me to watch you guys waste your
money and waste your time like this. It
really does. Here, I'll give you a
little song while she keeps coloring.
Let's waste our money. Yes, let's do it.
Let's waste your money. I'll show you
how to do it. 1 [music] 2 3. Waste that
[ __ ] Four, five, six. [music] Waste
that money on the hair color. It's not
going to work. Boom. Bang. Boom. Thank
you.
>> I just hope the back is even. This is
like what? 8 minutes, I think.
>> Well, it's not going to matter if it's
even because it's not going to do
anything.
>> So, I took a shower, rinsed off the hair
dye. This is how my hair looks. Where's
my color? [laughter]
>> It didn't do [ __ ] besides color your
ends. I'm so sorry I can't be there for
all of you all the time. But that sucks.
So much time, energy, everything wasted
on this for no reason when I could have
just told you right up front. That
wouldn't going to work.
>> Barely there.
>> So this light part is because it was
from the wolf dye thing that I tried and
then I put my brown dye back in. Like
where is my color? Anyways, middle of
straightening it and I'm going to
[music] wait like a week and I'm going
to retry.
>> You're going to wait a week? Why do it
now? Fix it. You're going to what?
>> I'm kind of annoyed cuz I really wanted
this color [music] to work out. It's
giving more like a red burgundy.
>> The level of patience you have is up
there, babe. I want to be able to wait a
week. Hell no.
>> I bought the products to redye my hair.
Hopefully, it comes out right [music]
this time cuz it was like $60 yesterday
for the products. It was another 50
today. I should have just went to the
salon, not me trying to save money and
spending more than what I would have at
the salon.
>> Yeah, see, some of you all be wasting a
lot of money doing your hair yourself.
You just don't know enough about how to
do hair and then you just end up
spending so much money and you could
have just went to the salon and got it
done professionally. Unfortunately,
>> I got [music] shampoo and conditioner
cuz I had none. And then I got two more
of the high color bottles [music] and
then I got 30 developer this time.
>> [ __ ] We're absolutely [ __ ] Okay.
Could this do something to her hair?
absolutely could do something. Will it
do much? I doubt it. You're now putting
color over color, which again, you're
not really supposed to do. It's just not
going to be nearly as effective as if
you were to color your natural hair
color. So, you've already gone and you
color. You messed up your natural hair
color. You got to bleach it now. You
have no other choice now to bleach it.
You get one chance to use permanent hair
color over natural hair until it is then
permanently colored, which then requires
bleach to lighten it. So, the one that I
had yesterday, I [music] got 10. So,
today I'm going to do 30. I feel like 30
should be good. The recommended is 40.
[music]
>> Yes. Yes. This is all correct. But you
already have colored hair.
>> I watched this girl's video on YouTube.
She was saying, she's a hair stylist.
She was saying that 40 is more like it's
not bleach per se, but it is like
[music] it's giving bleach.
>> I'm so over stimulated right now. I wish
I could help her.
>> I think I did it half. So, we'll start
with the bottom. So, starting with the
bottom. Should I already section it into
thirds? [music] Okay, so I put a shirt
on. Her hair is straight, so should be a
little bit easier to dye.
>> She's getting three sections in her
hair, which is great. Love to see that
she's doing some sectioning.
>> So, this is how it looks. I'm about to
put my gloves on and then I'm about
[music] to start dyeing my hair and it
better work this time.
>> I hope that somehow this works.
Sometimes color can lift color. It's not
supposed to be done like that, but you
can try. Sometimes people get lucky and
their hair lifts. I really hope
something happens. Honestly, this would
be such a bummer if absolutely nothing
happens again. All right. And she's
putting this color roots to ends. She's
not worrying at all about any hot roots.
This is when you actually get hot roots
where like it looks fire engine red at
the root and then just kind of more of a
natural tone red through the mids and
ends because of that heat from the
scalp. If you don't have that heat
evenly distributed, you're going to get
some burning hot [snorts]
scorching roots.
All right, we process. We hope for the
best. So, maybe something will happen.
Maybe not. I
>> lowkey think I'm going to put it in a
plastic bag. The heat is going to help
process [music] a little bit. Or should
I not? Cuz I also heard that if you put
it in a plastic bag, your roots get
lighter [music] faster. I'm just going
to blow dry a little bit.
You're killing me, babe. You're
absolutely killing me. Do not blow dry
your hair ever, guys. Don't ever blow
dry your hair while the color is
processing or the bleach. If you really
want to blow dry foils, you can. I
wouldn't recommend that either. It's
just [music] never good to apply heat.
Um, especially open air application like
this of color, you're going to dry the
color out.
>> So, I'm going to wait like 10 15
minutes, wash my hair, and then we'll
see how my [music] color came out.
Better have came out good. So, this is
how my hair came out. I'm trying to take
this in right now cuz I'm really a
ginger right now. Like a ginger head.
Okay. So, it's very uneven. [music] The
back is really dark still. Just the
front and the roots lighted got light
pretty easily.
>> What the [ __ ] You got lucky, babe. That
is crazy how much that lightened while
already having colored hair. Oh god.
Every week I say this, but like
sometimes you guys do that is so wrong
and it somehow comes out right that and
it baffles me every time.
>> I'm going to go shower, style my hair,
and then I'll come back tomorrow to show
[music] you guys how it looks. Okay,
she's going to blow dry, straighten, and
we're going to see the final results.
Will it be even? I doubt it. I don't
know. I have a lot of hope and then
absolutely no hope at the same time
right now.
>> Hey guys, so it's been like probably
like 3 4 days and I've been loving it.
It's so cute and I think this color was
made for me. Not to toot my own horn,
but it looks really good. I'm obsessed
with how it came out. Yo, what the I
mean it it looked good curly, but the
straight Oh, we could really see the
color now. It looks gorgeous. Is there a
few really orange pieces in there that I
don't love? Yeah. I would rather it all
be this kind of like almost grape red
color. I don't know. Cherry Cola. Is
that the one? That's the one. I see it.
I love it. And oh my god, I don't know
how you got that. A little bit of Xod 7R
over everything would complete this
look. It would bring all those really
bright orange pieces down to the same
level as the rest of the hair. Damn.
Okay, I'm gonna have to give you a four
on the mondo meter because everything
kind of went wrong, but absolutely right
at the same time. I am going to be
coloring [music] my hair ginger. So,
this is what I am currently [music]
starting with. I'm actually really
freaking nervous about this. I've
watched so many [music] like tutorials
and stuff, but I don't know if you ever
feel
confident to [music] do it.
>> You go, girl. You got this, girl. You
got it. I know you can do this, right?
Come on. We're doing kind of a retouch
moment on her regrowth and kind of
giving life back to the hair. Give it
that big copper daddy energy.
>> So, I'm only going to do like the top
part of my [music] head. Um, the bottom
part of my head is like a level four
dark dark dark brown. And the top was
that same color, but I've been bleaching
[music] it to lighten it some for this
process. So hopefully it will turn out
okay. I'm really nervous cuz there's
like some dark like banding right there,
but hopefully it's going to turn out.
Yeah, I mean hopefully it's going to be
fine. I just hope she's going to use a
high enough developer to get this light
and bright.
>> I'm going to be using a few different
colors. I'm going to use dark golden
blonde, medium copper blonde, and
dark rosewood blonde.
>> Sorry, what what are we using? I don't
know what the hell dark rosewood blonde
is. 6RW. I'm guessing red warm. I don't
know what the W is on that. Obviously,
red is warm, but like what the [ __ ] is
that? I don't get why you're using
blonde in these formulas. Just use
copper if you want to be copper.
>> I'm not going to be using like full
tubes of all. I have two bottles of the
medium copper blonde cuz I want more of
the copper color there. [music]
>> So, I'm going to use mostly that. And
then I'm just going to add like a splash
of the other colors.
>> Y'all, I love you. I really do. You guys
are not hairdressers. So, just make it
easy on yourself. Choose one color.
Unless it's semi-permanmanent color.
Yeah, go ahead. Mix that [ __ ] Have fun.
But like permanent color, h there's so
many factors that go into the result of
a permanent color. Just pick one. You're
never going to get the color you want
anyways because you're not a real
hairdresser. You don't know what the
hell you're doing.
>> And on my [music] like roots, probably
like down to like here.
>> Right. Right.
>> I'm going to use [music] 20 volume
developer. And on the ends, I'm going to
use tin volume developer because the
ends are lighter than the top. So, I
want the top to lift more. Oh,
that's a great idea. Yeah, this is such
a hairdresser technique to use a higher
developer on the darker parts of the
hair and then a lower developer on the
ends of the hair where it's already
lightened. Totally. Just have to watch
out for those roots. They might pick up
higher than the rest of your hair
because of the heat from your scalp.
>> And hopefully it'll come out even.
Hopefully.
>> So, I'm going to go ahead and mix my
color and section my hair and I'll be
right back. So, the formula I [music]
used was for my roots I did 20 volume
and I used a full container of medium
copper blonde, half a container of dark
golden blonde, and a quarter of a
container of dark rosewood blonde. I'm
going to just speed through it so you
don't have to watch me color my entire
head. But I did want to have like a
normal [music] speed for the first
little part just so you can really see
if this is the first time you're
coloring your hair. So, I'm starting
with the roots and I'm going to go
around the entire area first. You'll see
here in a second. Okay. A little I'm a
little scared about her starting with
the roots. I feel like they're
definitely going to lift too bright.
She's using a 30 volume directly on her
roots before coloring anything else.
These things are going to get bright.
>> I'm just taking the color and literally
going around the entire area that I
sectioned out, only hitting the roots.
>> I'm interested in how this section
became a section. Like she has it
sectioned from her middle part to kind
of here and then this part, all the kind
of sideburn area gets pulled back. Why
wasn't that all one section? Why did we
feel like dividing that? I mean, we're
going in there and we are taking our
time, babe. We got to get that on there.
It is processing it. Immediately when it
starts touching your head, it's going to
go just running. It's just going to go
so fast. Get it on there and get it on
there quick. Now do all the rest of your
roots.
>> And then I'm sectioning off my next
[music] part. I do go farther down than
just the roots. I know I said this is my
root color, but because I am starting
with darker hair, I am going to go
farther down than just the [music]
roots. So I'm going to use same exact
color that I was using for the roots to
go all the way down.
>> All right. I'd recommend just painting
your roots with the brush and then go in
with your hands and [music] just pull
the color down and add more color. So
much easier.
>> Probably about halfway and [music] I'm
going to stop and I'm going to do this
on every part of my hair and on the
ends, the blonder area that I lightened
more. I'm going to use the other mixture
that has the volume [music] 10 developer
in it because I don't need that part to
be lifted as much as I do the darker
area, if that makes sense. All right,
she is going through every section
trying to get that nice and even. And so
far, it does look pretty even. Though,
she needs to go in with her hands. Even
a professional would now go in with our
hands. We would take our kind of our
little scissor action right here and
just go up and down on the hair and just
try to squeeze that color in so [music]
it touches every single hair strand.
We're not usually just painting on and
then just leaving it as is. No, we need
to use our hands. That's why you always
see a hair stylist with like a towel
beside them or a towel hanging from
their tray. It's that when we do this
with our hands and get all that color in
there, we then wipe it off and we go
again and we wipe it off and we go
again.
>> I just go back in and where I stopped
this color, I take the other color and
put it where I didn't put this color, if
that makes sense. So,
the color is looking promising. Y'all
got some [ __ ] going on today with these
colors. Like things are working out for
you. And I am like, "Oh, damn." I don't
know what's happening, but I'm kind of
enjoying it a little bit.
The roots are looking [ __ ] bright and
coppery. Love to see it because that's
exactly what she wants. I'm going to put
[music] um put a bag on my head and let
it process for a minute and then I'm
going to rinse it out and we'll [music]
see how it looks. Okay, so it's the
[screaming] next day and I wanted to
show y'all the final result of my hair.
This is how it turned out. I am out here
in natural lighting so you can really
see it. It turned out really pretty. I
was hoping that the auburn color was
going to be darker and that maybe it
would blend better, which it is dark,
but you can still kind of see the dark
line. So, going into this, I knew that I
needed to bleach that part of my hair
again so that it would be more even and
I wouldn't have a darkness on the sides,
but I chose not to because
time and whatever. So, I was just hoping
being hopeful that it would cover it.
Holy
[ __ ] I wanted in the air today. I
thought we had more to the video left,
but damn, that was it. Like, she just
bang apply that color. Damn, those
results look amazing. I do see the dark
band, though. She does have a a [music]
dark band going through. It kind of
bothers me a little bit, but it's not
perfect, but oh my god, is it a whole
lot better than what she started with?
Yes. It looks so good that it almost
looks like a hairdresser colored [music]
it. Like, it's getting very hairdresser
hair, which is a good thing. Like, they
always have perfect hair. This color is
sick. I love the dark underneath. The
copper on top looks amazing and somehow
you got this quite even. Let's give you
a four on the monometer. The process
getting to result was a little bit
wonky, but the actual final result was
beautiful. I've tried a lot of copper
color conditioners and glosses, but
today this one was recommended to me by
one of you lovelies. It's the Xondo
Color Super Gloss. It's a little
different because it's a semi-permanent
dye and a gloss mixed together. It
actually gets your roots more. So, I do
have a little bit of my light roots
grown in.
[laughter]
It's time for a rodeo copper moment and
I am so [music] excited for it. Great
recommendation to whoever recommended to
her. I mean, I love Xono Color. It's a
great brand. She has the perfect palette
to put semi-permanent color over,
especially a super gloss color. It's a
between the salon moment to revive your
hair color.
>> 7C, which that's the level of depth.
That's the numbers. I believe I'm not a
professional. I am an average Joe.
>> That's also why we wrote 7 copper
because I know you guys are not
professionals, but like it's kind of
fun. The little naming system is a good
time and I wanted to give you a little
taste of the professional experience
[music] on the packaging.
>> I'm hoping for some pretty good
significant results. Just so that we can
get a good comparison, here is my hair
before. I also took videos in natural
lighting and then we'll compare the
after with the natural and this studio
lighting.
>> I mean, our hair looks delicious and
gorgeous. It obviously is a little bit
washed out and kind of a more muted
copper tone. 7C is a very rich tone.
She's going to have that rich, sexy hair
after this.
>> We've got a little bit of my light
roots. You can see the bleach money
streak, but it is a really nice color.
And funny enough, in the last 12 hours,
I've gotten two compliments on my hair
color. I' been like, it looks really
nice. So, hopefully this doesn't ruin
it. Hopefully, this is just enhances
[music] it. Makes it even better.
>> Imagine if it ruins it.
>> I'm just kidding. It won't. I promise.
>> It's got a nice cap. Oh, it's full.
That's a very full
M. It does have a hint of Play-Doh
scent, but there is like a perfumey The
Play-Doh is an afterthought. It is like
a nice perfume scent. I'm intrigued to
see how it smells on the hair.
>> Yikes. Play-Doh.
>> I'll just leave this like this. Afraid
to set this on my counter cuz I do not
[music] want semi-permanent dye on my
white counter.
>> A quick little note here. Those little
plastic tabs are made for shipping
purposes. They're made to transport this
product without leakage. So once you
have it in your house, take that out,
throw it away. Not need it.
>> The things I already grabbed. We're
going to pop on our gloves. I did grab
this to [music] separate and like spread
it, but now I'm thinking I should
probably brush my hair out first.
>> She's going to brush it. Wow, I love
this.
>> I'm going to section it. I'm going to
start at the bottom and then I'm going
to do the top. You're supposed to apply
it to clean hair. Section it. You are
required to use gloves. This one does
say use gloves. And when I checked out
at Sally, she asked, "Do you have a
processing cap and gloves?" I was like,
"Yeah, I don't have a processing cap."
In my head, I was like, "Is that a
shower cap? [music] What does that
mean?" But this thing doesn't say you
need a processing cap. Comb through
evenly. Process for 15 minutes. Rinse
thoroughly. That's it. That's all it
tells me. Caution. [music] This product
contains ingredients that may cause
irritation.
Blah blah blah. I don't want to do that.
Something about blindness. Wait. Oh,
[laughter] it says this product must not
be used for eyelashes or eyebrows cuz it
can cause blindness. Let me brush out my
hair first. I feel like brushing your
hair is going to make it easier to apply
because there's not going to be tangles.
>> Absolutely. Brushing your hair before
coloring is great thing to do.
>> It's so glittery though. It's like a
rose gold copper glitter. It literally
looks like copper out of the ground.
It's really pretty. I have under eye
things on too, by the way.
>> Of course, I have to put glitter in my
products. It's ethically sourced micica
to be clear. It's not actually glitter.
But what are you going to do with a hair
coloring experience that isn't fun? You
know what I mean? Bring the good
smelling fun color back and I'm doing
it.
>> It smells really good. Actually, there's
not really a Play-Doh scent. [music]
That was I don't know what that was, but
I grabbed a big old dollop. And I'm
starting on the ends cuz they're
definitely more bleached.
Very glad I brushed my hair before this.
I don't know how much you need. It does
smell like a really good perfume though.
If you had blonde hair, like really
light hair, cuz it said you could put
this on light brown and light hair,
you'd really need to be picky. I'm
hoping because I already have a color
underneath there, it's [music]
forgiving.
>> Totally. It will definitely be forgiving
for you cuz you already have copper
hair. If you don't put on super evenly,
it's going to give you more of the
copper highlights. Like, you know, if
you miss spots, you have the backup of
the copper existing. However, would I
like for you to do this really evenly?
Yes. Would I like for you to really
saturate your hair? Yes. I also love
that you don't really know me and you're
trying. That makes me really happy that
the brand is becoming beyond me, which
is cool.
>> Let's just keep applying it. I hope I
can evenly spread it. I can already see
it's definitely It's like more reddish.
you get extra, it does just come out
like conditioner. You know how if you
get extra, you can squeeze it and the
conditioner comes out. It's nice to
apply. It feels like it's a conditioner.
The way it's spreading, it's nice.
>> I love that you love the consistency of
it because we purposely made it on the
thicker side. We also made it a little
bit gelike so that it is really easy to
distribute but doesn't get all over your
bathroom. As you can see, she has a
white counter. There ain't nothing on
her counter, and that's because it's
quite [music] thick. It doesn't drip off
your hands like other colors.
>> Okay. It brushes out nice. I was a
little af Oh, there's one here. I was a
little afraid it would rip and then I
just wasn't going to brush it at all.
I'm just going to leave it.
>> Oh, I did just brush a chunk out on the
counter.
>> Perfect.
>> Get that off. Okay.
>> Eating my own words back up as the color
drips right on her counter. Great. That
one wasn't my fault, though.
>> 15 minutes. You think that can develop
faster? No.
>> I am so happy.
>> She's combing it through. This is
literally what dreams are made of. This
[music and singing] is what dreams
are made of.
>> I'm not kidding. This makes me so happy.
>> I should be done in like 3 minutes.
Everything's going to be covered in
copper for one second and it's going to
be fun. I'm going to do this and at the
part I'm going to try and get those. I
don't know what I'm doing here, guys.
We're winging it.
>> You're doing a great job. Everything at
Mondo is built to be user [music]
friendly by the average consumer.
>> Can you see better now? Ow.
The world's saying hurry. I've used
about a third of it. I don't know if
that's required. I don't know if I'm
doing too much, but it's spreading well.
Getting the top. I think I should have
done the bottom first. Why did I do
that?
>> No, doing the bottom first was
absolutely awesome. You're killing this
whole process right now. And killing it,
I mean like you're that's good. [music]
Not like a murder, but like a you know
what I mean?
>> Let me spread some of this through the
front. Make sure I have my length done.
And then I'm going to do my [music]
money piece. And I'm okay if it's still
a little highlighted. I just don't want
it blonde. That's why I want to do it
last.
I do appreciate for the video sense that
this doesn't have to be done on
shampooed hair. But in my routine, I
prefer to add one of the conditioners in
my shower. It's just so much faster. And
then you don't have to wait 15 minutes
either. [music] So, if this gets my
roots though, that'd be pretty cool.
Totally, totally, totally, totally.
Using a conditioner color, like
something that you use in the shower, is
cool and all, but the treatment is not
going to be as effective as if you were
to use a hair mask on dry hair. You can
really have that bomb booster, the
hyaluronic acid, the proteins, [music]
the oils, all latch onto your hair so
much more effectively with dry hair. And
plus, a 15-inute processing [music] time
really allows all those ingredients to
soak into your hair real good.
>> If I can do it, you can do it, too. I
don't like that.
I really like the amount cuz I have long
hair and I have probably a third.
>> She only used a third of that jar, which
is exactly how much she needs. It's
perfect. We have this little visual of
how many uses you get out of a jar.
Usually about three for average length,
average thickness hair.
>> Time to scrub it up. For some reason,
this being a semi-permanent dye is
making me more nervous around it. And I
did get it all over. So, just don't let
it develop on your counter. You'll be
okay. This is how much I used. Just a
little bit over 1/2 left.
>> I will say if you get any of my color on
your counter, I have white countertops
as well. If you spray pretty much any
cleaning product on it, let it sit for a
minute. It wipes right off.
>> I do prefer the pumps and the squeeze
tubes. I've said this before. I don't
love dipping my hand in, but it works
fine.
>> It's interesting. Let me know if you
guys like pumps better. It is way more
expensive to make the jars. So, let me
know if you don't like them.
>> It was basically like washing out neon
orange Kool-Aid with foam the whole
time. Let me blow out my hair.
I love it. Gorgeous. [music]
Absolutely gorgeous. The color refresh
incredible. The conditioning feel
amazing. It is so soft. It was Ollex
like deep conditioning. It was very
luxurious. Even when I shampooed and
conditioned, it was still soft. It felt
like I had a nice treatment in it. You
don't smell it because you do put your
own shampoo conditioner products in it.
>> She said it. She said Ollex like
treatment and that is exactly right.
There's bond booster in this product.
Ollex is a bond boosting treatment as
well. You heard what I'm saying here?
So, ooh, love.
>> I love this. You can tell the color is
refreshed. This one is the most even,
the most conditioning, plus the gloss. I
think this is going to be my top
favorite. The color picks up really
well. Well, where I already have the
dye, then we get to this part and it's
just glossing. I think if you loved the
color, you like the way your hair looks,
but it's feeling a little dry, I would
recommend this gloss.
>> Wow, that looks just [ __ ] insanely
incredible on her. If you really rock
copper hair, it's actually unbelievable
how good it looks on you. That blowout
you gave yourself. Oh my god, this looks
like a dream. Obviously, she's getting a
five on the mono meter because holy
[ __ ] you guys, that looks insanely
good.
>> I don't even know how to start a YouTube
video, but ignore the sound of the vent.
I'm about to bleach and dye my hair. And
my experience is watching Brado. I see
all his videos of the girls saying, "I
watch Bondo videos and then they do it
wrong and it ends up bad." Well,
sometimes dance good, good. You know
what I mean? [laughter]
>> Yeah. What's up with that? Am I a bad
teacher or is it you guys?
>> I already sectioned off how much I'm
going to do. I have this mirror. This is
my section. I'm just going to do like
this right here because I part my hair
like closer to the middle. So, if I need
to like hide it and slick back my hair,
I can because this will be cover, you
know.
>> Okay. So, we're doing a half half color
moment right now. And I am loving that
so much. I cannot wait to see a little
half half moment. I haven't seen it in
so long. This is going to be really
really cute on her. I have no idea what
color she's doing yet, but hopefully
it's bright. I want the color to be
really contrasting with her natural hair
color or whatever this color is. It
might be colored, I don't know, but dark
and light of some sort would be so
pretty. Maybe a copper, maybe a bright
red, maybe anything else. Be really
cool.
>> So, I the first thing I have to do is
like mix up the stuff. So, I'm going to
do that and come back. The one that I
wanted, they didn't have. So, I ended up
getting a different one. And it comes
with an oil that you mix in with the
bleach. Literally, it says take the cap
off after you mix it cuz it might
explode.
>> Okay, so we're bleaching the hair. That
means her hair has already been colored
before because she's trying to lift out
some kind of color out of her hair, I
think. Otherwise, you could just go in
with a permanent red color. If she
doesn't already have color in her hair
that she's trying to lift out, you can
actually just color your natural hair
color with permanent color and it can
get really really bright. Unless she's
trying to do light blonde, then that
wouldn't work. You have to bleach it.
>> The first thing I'm going to do is
section those regular piece at the
bottom.
>> Everybody be like, I lost my mango
videos and then grab big chunks.
Obviously not, girl.
>> Why is that in black and white and slow
motion? Are we foreshadowing something?
Are you going to take big ass clumps of
hair and color it? You're supposed to
listen to me. I thought I'm going to be
really disappointed if you do this
wrong.
>> So, I'm only going to like right here,
leaving the rest out. And so, I have
like a gingerish brown box dye over my
naturally brown hair because I thought
like I don't know. I don't know what I
thought.
>> Okay, a lot happened already in just
that little clip. So, she is applying
this bleach and it is so watery, which
sometimes it can be fine, but oftentimes
if you do not have enough bleach on the
hair, it is not going to process light
enough. And I don't want it to see your
entire hair strand under the bleach. I
want it to be a thick coating. I want to
barely be able to see the hair strand
underneath. The other thing she just
said was she has already copper I think
she said copper over her hair. So, if
she's trying to go blonde, this is not
going to be cute. The copper underneath
your hair is going to lift orange as
hell and you're going to be in for a
treatise.
>> Still not enough, but it is fully
saturated.
>> She did say it's fully saturated, so I'm
going to trust and believe even though
it looks dry as hell. Trusting and
believing.
>> I know these aren't the smallest
sections, but I feel like if Brad Mondo
could see this, he would be proud of me
for doing smaller sections than
everybody else.
>> I'm satisfied with these sections. Also,
I love you guys so much. I love when you
talk to me in your videos. I think these
are small enough sections. You are
definitely working that very liquidy
bleach into [music] small enough pieces
that it'll actually cover the hair
strand. Again, I just don't know why it
looks so uncodated. That's a little
confusing to me. Like there looks like
to be nothing on [music] the hair
strand. The next step you can take is
combing the bleach through. This would
be very simple to comb from the bottom
up. You can comb bleach through. I know
it sounds a little scary. Just don't
comb it after it's already been
processing. You know, your weak hair
strand will not be happy with you and it
will break off if you pull too hard. So
just be careful with that. We are
working our way up the back of the head
getting those hair strands all covered.
And she is going in there. Hopefully she
doesn't get lazy by the top [music] of
her head because that often also happens
where people like do a really good job
on the back and then all of a sudden the
front looks like a Brad Mondo says
people are always like you shouldn't
brush your hair when you have bleach in
it. But like in my head it makes sense
to want to brush it because obviously
you want to make sure everything is
fully saturated. Brad says he does when
he's doing people's hairs. So I'm just
going to listen to him. My hair has
gotten pretty long.
>> That is fabulous. She said she's going
to brush it. When are you going to brush
it though? When are we going to do that?
Because you're already working through
the sections and you haven't brushed
anything yet.
>> I feel like this is going pretty fast
[music] and when you're bleaching.
That's why I didn't want to do my whole
head because I was like, I am not that
quick.
>> Guys, I can't wait to come out with
bleach. I'm a little scared just because
you know what you guys do with bleach.
But I'm really excited and I have been
developing it for a very long time.
Don't [ __ ] up your hair with it, please.
>> [music]
>> once I come out with it. Okay, I wish
you guys could use money in these videos
already. This stuff, sure, it's fine.
It'll do the job, but will it actually
be like bleach that won't ruin your
hair? Now, the thing she has to watch
out for is that she has fine thin hair.
So, fine, thin hair, first of all,
lightens very well and easily, and
usually you can get a pretty even
coverage without having to try that
hard. So, hopefully that happens for
her. But the other thing is it can be
also fragile, though. So, she's about
halfway done with coloring this first
section. And the color has not budged at
all. It is still the exact same brown
color it started with. Why is that? Are
we using bleach or are we using
something else? What the hell is going
on here?
>> Ooh, that's lightening fast, girl.
>> Oh, [gasps]
this is actually lightening. I love when
hair lightens. It's so much fun. It
looks like it lightened a half a shade
or a full shade lighter. You smell that?
I smell bleach processing and I'm loving
it. It hasn't even been 10 minutes since
I started. I don't want to lay the
bleach over a part that hasn't been
touched or that I don't want to touch
yet because [music] that's how mistakes
happen and we get crazy results.
[laughter]
>> I love you.
>> You are saying things that are true. I
love people listen and do the truth.
Mhm.
>> And I have those freaking pens on
because the feelings of this pass out.
>> You are going slow, girl. This is the
other thing with hair, guys. You got to
work fast. If you want it to be really
precise,
obviously you're doing it at home, so
it's never going to be like perfectly
precise. But if you want it to be really
good, as good as possible, you got to
work on those sections as fast as
possible. And I also know you're filming
a video. It's a lot of things involved
with filming a video. This is a random
thing that I want to bring up today just
because [music] like I have your
attention. Hi. Um, but that can you
believe after all these years of me
doing these videos and content online
about hair, people still don't think
that I'm a real licensed hairdresser?
First of all, it's public information. I
can't even make it up. You can literally
call the state board.
>> Hi,
Brad have a license.
>> Yes, he does. Okay. Also, do people
really think I can make this up? Being a
licensed hairdresser doesn't mean you're
a good hairdresser. [music] Okay. It
just means you are licensed with the
state board and approved to use these
chemicals on people. I just can't
believe that lie just has spread over
the years and just keeps going. It's
probably because I don't really defend
myself ever because I'm like, what am I
defending? I literally have been in a
salon since I was born. Born in a salon.
Literally birthed on the floor of salon.
All I know is hair. [laughter] That's
all I'm good for.
>> How is this like container supposed to
be for a full head of hair? I'm not even
doing half of my head and I feel like I
don't have enough.
>> Yeah, box colors are tricky. To do an
entire head realistically, you need a
[ __ ] ton of bleach. Box size in a lot of
ways do make it easier for you to do
your hair yourself because there's steps
you follow and it's very easy simplified
way of putting everything together
[music] so you can just buy everything
at once without having to think about
all the additives and things, whatever
is going on. But often times you need
more than one box. Okay, they're not
very expensive.
>> I bought another
product to style my edges. Oh my god.
Please never detangle your hair like
that ever again. You have fine, fragile
hair. You are going to lose an excessive
amount of hair by brushing it like that.
Don't ever ever brush it like that. And
if you do, bore, synthetic, bore,
anything like that. Something that is
just really going to be gentle on your
hair. And never yank it like that. I
hate watching you guys do that so much.
Oof.
>> And it is a wax. So, I used that to slip
this down and to do my edges. I know I
shouldn't have used the wax on that side
just like that. But I don't know if my
hair is not thick enough for wax and I
should just stick with monkey gel
because that is like it works good. But
I just wanted to try something else.
>> All right, she is finishing coloring the
top of her hair. Getting all that
product in there nice and evenly and I
love to see it. It is making me so
happy. I don't know if you can see that
it's like starts right there where it
gets lighter. Okay, this is my last
section and then I'm going to go in and
make sure everything else is fully
saturated already. I love you. You
really know what I'm going to say. Yeah.
I mean, I don't know. It's weird. Some
of these like liquidy bleaches are so
watery but somehow do the trick. I don't
really understand it. Even while I'm
formulating my own bleach, like I'm I'm
always wondering like some of these
benchmarks we test. I'm like, how is
this so watery? She's brushing it
through. She is fully brushing the
bleach through. I know that she is a
real fan. Like, she knows my She has
watched and been devoted to these videos
for a very long time because that is a
newer tip that I've been adding in is
like the brushing the bleach through and
I love to see it. Just got to be careful
now. We can't we can't take the bleach
off of our hair and if it comes off in
the brush, we got to reapply it. Okay.
Just be a little gentler. Okay, I'm
going to leave this on for like 30, 45
minutes. We'll see. And then I'll be
back [music] to do my roots. This is
after like 20 minutes maybe.
>> Why is that dry as a bone? Like it is so
damn dry. What is going on here? It
looks like nothing is on your hair. It
looks like your hair is wet and it has
barely done a single thing. This is the
first section that I did. You can see
that part is super light.
>> Why does the hair devil choose our
greatest players? Like she did such a
good job yet she used just like the
wrong bleach. That [ __ ] bleach looked
like ass. I'm not going to [ __ ] lie.
That looked like I was trying to be nice
earlier but like I was like maybe it'll
work. No, it looked like [ __ ] It was so
[ __ ] dry and watery. Like never use
[music] that again. I don't know what
happened cuz she did everything right
and somehow it just dried out
immediately. [music] Like was it
expired? Was it like was it you? Was it
the brand? I don't know. I'm pissed. She
seems fine. I I don't know.
>> Okay, it's been like another time that
they shortened the pencil. Oh, it kind
of looks like it is getting out. Okay,
correct. Here.
Oh. Um, okay. And now it won't stop. I'm
just going to do this first so I can get
some more on this side.
>> So, we're now going on the roots.
[cough and clears throat]
Horrible. I hate that idea. The mids and
ends have not lightened like barely at
all. Remember, we're trying to get the
hair to a bright yellow tone before we
go in with the roots. The roots pick up
like that. Especially with this, this is
like 30 volume in that. That is a high
developer to put on your roots. You
really don't need something that high.
20 volume will be fine. [music] They
might even be 40 volume that you're
putting on your roots. I don't know what
is in that bottle to be honest with you.
And then
go for my roots.
So that [ __ ] noise is killing my ears
because that just means she has no color
left and she does not have enough to
actually color her roots properly. What
the actual
[ __ ]
>> Oh, this is the part where Yeah.
[laughter]
>> She just got all that color on the
opposite side of her head. That's not
good. She wiped it off, but it'll still
process. She's going to have a spot
there. trust.
Wait, the hair is all of a sudden
getting bright. What? Right before my
eyes, things are going right. I don't
know. My head is throbbing because I
don't know what is happening.
>> I can't really part my hair though.
>> So, you're supposed to part it again the
way you parted it previously. You
started from the bottom, you worked way
up. You're supposed to do it again. Work
from the way up from the bottom and just
do the roots this time. And then from
this, I want to pull apart the hair
instead of making it fly because I want
everything to be able to breathe. I wish
I had more so I can add it there. But
[laughter]
she's making me so happy though.
[music] She's like, "Let me pull apart
the hair so it can breathe." Absolutely.
to get that airflow in there so it can
really breathe [music] and everything
can process the same lightness instead
of some things being lighter because
there's mounds of hair packed over it.
Okay, we don't want that.
>> I'm going to let that sit for another
probably like 20 minutes, rinse it, and
come back to show you guys dye it. This
is the color.
>> You said you learned from me, babe. And
you did learn a lot from me, but why do
we have permanent color going over
bleach? I'm 90% sure there's permanent
color. I have never seen any nice and
easy demi-permanmanent or
semi-permanmanent. So hopefully this is
the first.
>> Okay, I just washed the bleach out of my
hair. I wasn't too worried about like
getting my roots that good because the
color that I'm doing is going to cover
anyways.
>> Oh
no. Why is it dark on the ends and
orange in the center, orange in the
middle? The roots, I don't even know.
Spotty. We did too much work for it to
look this bad.
>> I'm blonde as you can see. Um, I
definitely got some hair over here, but
doesn't matter.
>> Oh, the back. The spot on the back.
Yikes. Oh, it's just really bad. See,
even if you wipe the bleach off, you're
still going to have that process. You
have to literally shampoo it out. And
even then, it might still live. Once
that bleach touches your hair for 5
seconds, you're fine. So, I'm going to
cover it with the color, and no one's
going to be able to see that part in my
head. Anyways, I know down here, like
from here down is darker than the rest,
but again, don't really care.
>> Great. I mean, I care. But at least
you're doing, [music] I think, a red
color, like a copper color. So,
hopefully this is going to even out a
little bit. Um, and also, you can see
the line of demarcation where her
previously colored hair was [music] and
her natural hair starts. It's like
natural and then it's like previous box
color.
>> I know down here, like from here down,
is darker than the rest, but again,
don't really care. And my roots are not
like perfect, but again, don't care.
Oh, I'm like squeezing it and nothing's
coming out. Duh. And my roots are not
like perfect, but [laughter] again,
don't care. Why would we use permanent
color? You can, but we just don't need
to. Demi-permanent would have been
perfect for [music] this situation. You
don't need all that grippy grip strength
from that developer. That's going to
inflict a bit of damage on your hair
that is completely unnecessary and
avoidable because permanent color is
much more gentle and conditioning and
it'll still stick to your hair. It has
already been bleached. All right, she is
coloring a whole section with I think
this copper color. I haven't really I
forgot what the [music] box color looked
like but think copper which is fun.
Okay, fall vibes. We're getting into it.
And she's doing a great job applying to
every single hair strand getting it nice
and even. She's trying to fix her
mistake with the bleach transferring to
the other side by putting red color over
the other side. This is going to lift
her natural root area. So, she's going
to have red roots on one side and then
completely red on the other. Don't do
that. Color it brown again. What? This
has been in my hair for like 30 minutes
probably.
Um, I'm going to erase this as best as I
can and then take this out and rinse all
of it and I'll come back after. This is
the final result of my little project. I
really like it and I think it did damage
my curls just a little bit as you can
see. Like some pieces like this one is
way looser, but that's okay. I really
like how it came out.
>> Do you see my eyes right now?
Can you see my eyes?
I'm tearing.
[music]
What the [ __ ] How did her hair just
become a man of luxurious curls? I don't
even know what to say, guys. This looks
perfect. This looks beautiful. I am
obsessed [music] with the color
combination. and she kind of has this
like purpley brown tone on the other
side and then she has kind of this
copper tone on the opposite and it looks
amazing. Obviously, you actually dug
through it as a hairdresser, you'd see
some [ __ ] upness going on, but overall
this is your look. You look incredible.
This is perfect look. I can't say enough
good things. You look like an angel.
Everything about this, your makeup, your
hair, the vibes, everything goes
together. This look is so much better
for you than that original one you had
with just the all the brown hair. pretty
as well, but kind of boring for you. You
look just so cool and this just gives
you a whole new vibe. Mondo meter out.
For this, I had to give you a four. The
end result was incredible, but getting
there, not so much. And make sure to
