Hey guys, big change. I know, sort of weird, right? So I'm gonna say it the obvious. I went blonde. And before anyone says that brown is more natural on me, I just want to remind you guys, I was born blonde as a child, I was blonde, and growing up I was mostly blonde when I started my channel, my hair started to darken a little bit, but that was like the first time in my whole life that it started to get really dark. And then I threw some highlights in it, and then I went through my really weird puberty phase, and then I got out of puberty to have a hair dark. And then it's been dark pretty much this entire time that I've had my channel. I've been wanting to go blonde for the past year and a half to two years. I want to say I've just always really wanted to be blonde. So yesterday I went blonde, and I'm basically going to explain the entire process that happened because I did go blonde in one day. It only took one day to get to this color. Now I also want to say that this is not the final color. I'm going to be doing more to it next week. I'm basically skipping my hair break because I did a lot. I'm going to explain what I did in a few minutes, but I'm just giving my hair a break right now, and then we're going to go in and we're going to throw some more highlights in there, and we're going to make it more platinum. There's actually a spot on my head that pulled the exact color that I want, but it wouldn't pull anywhere else on my hair for some reason. It's like this little strip right here. But, granted, nonetheless, I still did get blonde in a matter of one day. That's a lot to ask your hair to do, especially when you were as dark as I was. This was my hair color before I went to the hair salon, and then I came out, and this is obviously the final product that it is for right now. But like I said, I'm going to be going back next week and updating it. But here's how the process happened. I first just want to think my hairdresser, Kelly, because she's the best, and I love her. We kept the roots dark, and we did that so that A, it would look more like out-thruened roots because I absolutely love that look. I have loved that look for so long. I was always a huge fan of Ombre. Oh my god. Ever blondes would have really out-thruened roots. I loved it. Like I thought it was the prettiest thing ever, so I wanted mine to look like it was like an outgrown blonde. Also, I did that because when we were dyeing my hair, we did the roots very last. So when we were dyeing my hair, the dye went pretty much all the way up to my root. And it looked like I was wearing a wig, and I know that I just wasn't used to it, but it did look very wig-like on me. So I also wanted to just put roots in just to kind of break myself into the blonde, and because my eyebrows would not match like platinum blonde hair, which obviously I don't really want them to match it, but it would just look so disproportional to my hair and to my face. I was in the hair salon for eight hours yesterday to get it to this color. Now I know some people, it doesn't take about long. Some people, it takes only a couple of hours, but other people that can take longer than that. It just really, really depends on your starting product, and where you want to be at. I got there at two o'clock. The first thing that we did was we bleached my hair, and then after she bleached it, we washed it, dried it, and then bleached it again. So after the first time that it was bleached, it was like flaming orange. It was not pretty. It looked so bad. It was like legit orange. But then after we bleached it again, it was like neon yellow, highlighter yellow. And after the second bleaching, a lot of people's hair were pulled differently. I have this one friend, and she bleached her hair, and she told me that her hair bleached like white. Mine bleached to a yellow. It just depends on how your hair pulls color. My hair pulls red and orange a lot whenever I dye it brown. So it just really, really depends on the natural pull over hair. And that's why you can't go into the salon expecting it to be how your friends happened, or how like a celebrity's happened, because odds are your hair pulls differently and it won't turn out the same. And then it was pretty yellow. So she toned it a little bit, and that took a little bit of the brassiness out of it. So after she did that, then she also threw in a little bit of tea, which is titanium toner. And we think that the titanium toner only hit this spot right around here. And that's the color that I liked. So then we were like, okay, we're gonna foil it, and then we're gonna throw more of the titanium toner in it. So then what we did was we did highlights all over my head after that. So that's more bleach. And what we did that purpose for was so that the blonde would have dimension in it. So it wouldn't just be one shade and wig looking. So it just has different like dimensions of blonde. After that, she washed me out again, and then she put more toner into her, remove any excess brassiness. And also put in a little bit more titanium, just to make it as light as we could get it for the stay. So at this time, it was, you know, our six and a half of the process, I would say, our seven around there. And then we went in for the roots. What we did for the roots was because my hair was really light, no matter what color we put on the roots, it was gonna have a big contrast regardless. Now also keep in mind that my natural roots are blonde, and they're a very ashy blonde. So naturally, I'm an ashy sandy, dirty blonde. So when my roots grow out, my actual roots grow out, it will fade nicely into this color, and it won't look too ridiculous. Obviously, I'm gonna go touch it up. And when I go in next week for more blonde, if you put in, I'm gonna bring some up to the roots to blend this just a little bit more. I mean, I love it. I think it looks fantastic right now, especially when I go like this. It just looks so like natural and like outgrown. I love it. But I am gonna throw some more on the top, just to blend it a little bit more, I would say. After that, we then did the root. And my friend asked me, because she likes dark roots too with blonde hair, and she was like, oh, that balayage, we didn't balayage it, all that we did was after all the blonde was on. I had this color. We just, well, she just painted the roots on. She first just started by like not normally going over its just to get my actual roots to be covered up. And then she just painted it down a little bit. So it kind of was balayage, but it was like reversed balayage. So then after that, that had to process, you know, whatever. Then we watched my hair, and then she toned it one more time with a little bit more titanium and a little bit more toner just to remove the brassiness of it. And then after that, I dried it, and I love it now. So this is the color that I ended up with. And I did do it one day. And it's a lot. As of the integrity of my hair, my hair has always been really healthy. And, you know, granted that I've released it three times yesterday, it feels really, really good. I'm not gonna lie. She does use a product called Oloplex, and she told me that it helps with redamaging with no repairing damaged hair from bleach. And I don't know if that made a difference or not because I haven't bleached my hair with it versus without it. Yes, I have, but I could never really notice a difference because I would just arm right my hair. But my hair does feel really healthy, honestly. I'm gonna continue with like deep conditioning it because I deep-condition it every single time I'm in the shower. And I feel like that does help my hair a ton. So if you have like really dry, real hair, and you're thinking of bleaching it, I would say deep-condition it all the time. And then your hair is just gonna naturally build up the defense system. I feel like my scalp today. I know people were asking me, did it burn my scalp? It didn't burn my scalp because I didn't bring the bleach all the way up to my roots. But it was like on here, but it didn't burn. I think it's just because I've colored and bleached my hair so many times that my scalp is just kind of build up a tolerance c4 and is just kind of numb to the feeling. So it's just very tolerant to an ox. I've been calling my hair since I was 12 and I'm 17 now. So yeah, I think that's all that I had to say and all the questions that I were really getting about it. I do plan on going platinum. I know a lot of people on Instagram are like, oh, I thought you're going platinum. Yes, I am going platinum, but you can only do so much in a day. But we got as light as I could in one day and it's all I could ever ask for. So I'm so excited. But it is going to get lighter than this as time goes on. So if you guys want to see it, obviously it's going to be in YouTube videos. But the first place that I always update was like hair update. It's my snapshot. And if you guys followed it yesterday, when I got it done, it's probably still up on my story. Like a couple of them are probably still up on my story right now. Um, it was just like hair updates after hair update after hair update and everyone on Twitter was like, oh my god, I want to say it. I'm like, I know I want to say it too because I was literally going through it. I see you guys where it was really funny. It was really fun to like interact with you guys doing that. It was a lot of fun. Um, so I'm going to keep going, Blonder. And I'm eventually going to get it to like a platinum shade that I am very, very satisfied with. Hopefully like that shade right underneath there. It's so funny that I only pulled right there. But yeah, this is my new hair for right now. So I really hope you guys all enjoyed this video. Did you see the fuzz? Awesome. Make sure you guys don't forget to subscribe because I do upload twice a week. Thanks again so much for watching and I'll talk to you all my next one. See ya!
