hey everyone so after searching youtube i couldn't find many videos showing women going from bleach blonde to a darker blonde and i decided to film this and hopefully this will help someone i decided to try this l'oreal paris um excellence cream in the shade 7 dark blonde natural it's a level 1 permanent hair color and my hair is pretty damaged but it says here that nothing protects better and we shall see okay i have all my stuff here and i will go change into an old shirt that i don't mind messing up okay i'm back and yes i know my hair looks oily but it's just to protect my hair from the dye okay let's see what's in here this is the developer cream step one and then step two is the permanent color and this conditioning treatment that i love so much because it leaves my hair really soft and the protective color serum and here's their little color comb which i love because with this comb i don't have to part my hair in sections i find that really annoying when i have to do that so anyway now i will just comb my hair through and make sure there are no tangles left anywhere and then i will start applying the protective serum and i will concentrate on rubbing it where my hair is the driest and weakest first and hopefully this helps to protect my hair a bit from what's coming to it now i will start applying my serum like i said in rub rub rub okay let's speed things up a bit i'm sure you guys don't want to sit here for five minutes and watch me rub this into my hair so you're welcome anyway i'm kind of taking my sweet time rubbing in this into my hair because i can't stress how fine and damaged my hair is after all i've done to it over the years and every bit of protection helps me in my book so yeah okay all done rubbing in the pre-color protective serum and we can move on to step number two and mix our developer cream and the permanent color together and shake it up really good and make sure it's mixed really well and always point away from your face when mixing don't want the stuff in your eye and so i will unscrew the applicator tip and put on the color comb here and begin applying the mixture to my hair after i brush it and i love this comb because it allows me to apply the hair color evenly to my roots from front to back um and i used to go to the salon because it was kind of hard for me to do it myself and i didn't like to bother but i used to go to the salon every other month or so to get my highlights redone but i'm really tired of that and when i get back to my root color i will let my natural hair grow out because this is definitely the last time i'm putting in something with ammonia in my hair in the foreseeable future so yeah i don't really want to go there anymore and by the way make sure you get all the baby hairs while you're doing that and that the roots are thoroughly saturated and you can use your fingers to do that after using the comb and just a little side note for you guys i'm planning on cutting my hair and letting it grow after this and doing a bunch of homemade treatments on it to get it back to the health and like the length and thickness that it used to have and after this i will officially be on a regrowing my hair journey and hopefully you guys will join me for that as well so yeah now i will just spread the rest of this dye through the length of my hair and by the way i've replaced the comb the applicator the comb applicator with the original applicator tip because it's easier to apply the remainder with this tip to the ends of my hair and this comb was perfect for the roots but it's this is just right to do the rest of the job and i love that the box has both of them and as you can see i just loosely piled up my hair in the back and i will go ahead and leave in this mixture for about 30 minutes and see you back here for the results i'm back what do you ladies think i must say i'm pretty happy with it because it's still blonde but not white anymore and it's really soft and it's exactly what i wanted this time and i'm sure i will go even darker blonde later but i didn't want to make such a drastic change right away i hope you guys found this video helpful and if you want to please don't forget to rate comment and subscribe i'll see you in the next video you
