hey guys and dolls today I'm gonna be sharing with you a hair dyeing tutorial and I'm so excited to be sharing this with you guys today I love being able to share information about hair stuff it's one of my passions I have actually been dyeing my hair some shade of pink or another off and on for about 14 years now so I do have quite a lot of experience with this hair dye stuff I do want to say I'm not a hair stylist I just do my own hair it's fun and it's different but I do want to say it is a lot of work it's a lot of maintenance and you know bleaching your hair and putting colors in it and having to maintain it every few weeks it's not for everyone dyeing your hair fun colors has become more and more popular in the last few years and I've seen some really cool hair dye jobs like whoa like I am just flabbergasted by how cool they are and I've seen a lot of things that are not maybe the best and so I just want to kind of walk you guys through the process let you guys know you know everything that you're gonna need to do all the things you're going to need to buy not gonna lie and you guys I you and sometimes get like a little bit of anxiety I'm gonna go down my hair like what if I screw it up and I have had screw ups in the past and now I really have kind of like a system that I use I really try to be super careful but this that and the other thing and they want to kind of share some of that information with you guys today I also want to share with you some information today about maintaining the color because this is a little bit different from like a traditional hair color whether it be like if you die here brown or if you dye your hair even I do dye my hair black in fact we'll talk about that in this video as well but just you know it's just a little bit different of a dyeing process they treat you treat your hair differently you color your hair differently so just want to just talk about all of it get it all out there in one video so sit tight kids it's gonna be a long one you might want to go get a little something to drink a little snackaroo whatever end up meet me right back here thank you for watching my hair dyeing video please check out vintage or tacky comm for more information and watch my other hair dyeing videos the dyeing process for me starts the day before I bleach it I shampoo my hair to get all of the product buildup out just to completely get my hair nice and clean and then I let it get oily I don't put any extra product in it I just kind of let it hang out and do its thing and get greasy and all that nice neat stuff because the oils on your hair and on your scalp help to protect it during the bleaching process this is really important it's really bad to shampoo your hair immediately bleach it sometimes it happens but just when you can't avoid it just try to make sure and really try to not bleach hair over hair that has a lot of product in it because that can cause weird chemical reactions just take it from me I've been there and done that thing I use as a rat tail comb this is great for sectioning out the hair I will say once you get around to using the bleach don't get the metal anywhere near cuz metal and bleach they tend to have this weird reaction and results may vary the axe thing you're gonna need our tint brushes I tend to have four on hand at all times because I mark them one for pink one for the purple one for the black and one for the bleach I just don't like to mix them I just feel a little weird about mixing them maybe that's a little you know a little obsessive but I do like to make sure that they're separate and that way I always have one clean just in case I'm sort of dyeing my hair and I don't get a chance to actually clean all the supplies until the end the next thing you're gonna need is a whole lot of gloves like more gloves than you can even think what I actually do is I buy this big old box at Costco and this comes in a three pack so I'm kind of set for gloves for a while whenever I buy them the next thing I can't live without is this little Bowl from Sally's Beauty Supply it's a mixing bowl and it has these little teeth here I don't know a few guys yeah yeah maybe you can see it so the reason why that's useful is cuz I'll have the hair dye and I'm getting it on there and then I can just squeeze and get like the majority of it off so I don't have like a big old glob and make a mess of myself that I'm dyeing my hair you can also do something kind of cool and vintage this is a rice bowl or maybe it's a tea cup I don't know I've had this forever I got it at a thrift store when I was a teenager so I've been using this Adamic hair since I was a kid and it's kind of cool that I still have it next thing you're gonna need is something like this to measure out your amounts this is very very important for when you do the bleach and you need to measure out how much developer you need it's also important for when you do the black next thing you're gonna need is clips clips clips so many Clips you don't even know how many Clips you need you need a good jillion Clips so these are just some fun color ones next thing that's essential for me for dyeing my hair is a handheld mirror that way I can see the back of my head and be like oh yeah I am getting that straight because otherwise how am I to know the next thing I need is a brush like this that doesn't have any like natural hair bristles or anything that way you can get it completely oil free which is very very important when you're going from bleaching the hair and then into putting the colorful colors on we'll get to why that's important at the application portion the next thing you're gonna need is an old t-shirt to wear while you're dyeing your hair this is my blink-182 shirt I've had this again since the first time I dyed my hair so this guy has been with me for many many years and it's it's just become my Connick for me like it has so many holes in it and I just I love it you don't have to have an old nostalgic t-shirt obviously you can just use anything that you don't mind getting Samba hair dye on I'm not gonna lie to you I usually change after each application so after the bleach I'll put on a different shirt after the the pink of the purple I'll put on a different shirt after the black I'll put on a different shirt just because that way I'm not risking getting the goop on me again so have a few shirts on hand that you don't mind ruining hey just kind of like goodwill and just pick up some cheap whatever shirts it doesn't really matter then you're gonna need towels cuz you will ruin your regular towels I'm just putting it out there you're going to need some bleach so I have here some bleach powder this is the prism lights bleach I get this at Sally's Beauty Supply they also sell this in little packets which are kind of holographic and pretty which is kind of fun this stuff is great because it has the toner built right in and what the toner does is it stops your hair from looking brassy or yellow toned or something so because this is a violet tone bleach it helps minimize the appearance of the yellow tones in the hair which my hair tends to turn kind of like a yellowy but I'm not such a fan of that so I used this guy and then I also use a developer for that I use a level 30 developer some people feel like oh the level 30 is too high some people go that extra mile and use it 40 it's all about personal preference I find that when I use a level 30 developer I tend to not have to leave it on my hair so long so if that's my preference and it's not as damaging as a 40 and I used 40 for years and that was a mistake moving on in his hair dyeing day I go ahead and section it off and what I do is I section off the top portion away from the black and then pull the black back as part as like hard as I can and put it in like tight ponytails in the back to kind of get it out of the way now this time was a little bit different because I pulled a little bit of sections or I pulled a section in between the purple and the black and the reason why I did this is because I wanted it to be more of a transition between the purple and the black portion of the hair and as this hair grows out the virgin hair will get bleached and it will be more and more purple until it's just purple completely throughout but in the meantime I have this cool I kind of transition II plum color hair that doesn't you maybe see how there's like sections here where you see it's it's almost black but it's kind of plum because underneath it's kind of like a dark red color you'll see [Applause] and then I put something called soap cap through the pink and purple part of my hair to remove any traces of the color because I was going to be switching out the Division of the lines where everything was so the reason why you want to do a soap cap is to remove color in a less damaging way than bleach what is a sub cap you ask so a soap cap is when you mix bleach in with shampoo this is gonna weaken the bleach a little bit it's gonna make it less intense so what i do is i mix it with this harsh shampoo here gonna say it's not nondamaging there's no such thing as putting bleach to your hair in a non damaging way but it's less damaging and it's a way to just quickly get some color out and I do this every now and then just to clarify the color sometimes the colors get a little muddy then I just need to do this like every six months or so after this develops I fully rinse the hair out and then I shampoo it and you want a really really shampoo it I usually shampoo about three or four times in the shower and again I use this super harsh one the reason why you want to use a really harsh or harsh as a bad word a clarifying shampoo one that has a more of a pH balance the reason why you want to use that is because it gets all the product out of the hair you don't want any oil in your hair you don't want any of the bleach left over and it's really important to shampoo your hair to completely stop the bleaching process don't condition your hair because then it's gonna have all these silicones and oils in it and then the fun colors won't stick and that's kind of the whole point isn't it then what I do is I blow-dry my hair and I blow-dry it until it's completely blown dry you need no trace of moisture in your hair and you want it to be very very dry and that's what I use the plastic brush for so this doesn't have any oils on it so it's great for blow-drying the hair and making sure that stays this bone dry as possible I've put a lot of emphasis on this because the drier you make your hair and you know the least moisturize that it is the better this is gonna stick in your hair and it's going to last longer it's gonna be more vibrant and all that nice needed stuff so I do want to talk about how these hair dyes are different from traditional hair dyes like you know when you use developer and then all that stuff so the difference is is that this is basically just pure pigment mixed in with different products that are moisturizing to the hair to help it coat the hair and help the color stain whereas with a traditional hair dye like my black-haired my stuff what this does is it you know when you mix with a developer it opens up the hair shaft and it will take some pigment out and it will inject some pigment in at the same time so this is a little bit different in that it just coats and stains the hair this is why the color lasts a long time is because you damage the hair first and then it stains on top of the damage and it also gives your hair kind of like a shiny glowy healthy look because it's coating the hair and these tend to be kind of like light reflective the colors that I use for my hair for the purple I use wild flower from special effects this is a blue based purple it is gorgeous it ends up mixing with the pink and becoming a little bit more of a warm purple on the ends this is my favorite I will say it doesn't last this is one of the most weaksauce Purple's I've ever found but it's my favorite shade I've used several one of my other favorite Purple's that I've used is from Pravana but unfortunately that one stains my entire body like Violet Beauregarde purple for a week a probe on Oh violet also makes the pink part of my hair a little too fuchsia a little too purpley pink and that is not what I'm going for which brings me to my next portion of this discussion and that is what I use for the pink picking a hair color is actually part of the hardest part and I want to mention websites like hair crazy or Ansel gory calm they have these galleries of people using various different hair days and it's really helpful to get an idea of maybe what colors might be best for you or how colors turn out when they're used because people will sometimes give information like this is used on virgin hair or this was used on hair that was previously this color and it's just so helpful to get an idea because not every pink works for everyone I've used some Pink's that were real stinkers on me and I've used Purple's that really didn't flatter me I find what's most flattering for me is this more like magenta a really bright pink and then the more blue base purple I find that when I use more of like the plumy Purple's it's just a little I don't know the color just looks funny I mean it just makes me look kind of like ruddy in the face and that's just not a good look I don't appreciate that for many many years I've used atomic pink which is a gorgeous vibrant super hot pink just amazing color and it glows in our black light and it's so shiny and I love it it's my favorite unfortunately special effects that's having some kind of distribution issue so I will have a list on vintage or tacky calm of some turn ative x' to this that you could use so I haven't been able to get a hold of this color now for months and months and months and I was running out of my supply because I always tend to buy a couple just in case and it yeah I've just been like freaking out like what am I gonna do I'm like am I gonna have to completely change my whole life my whole hair color is that did you know let's try something new let's try something different and what I decided to do is mix a couple of different colors to get something similar to a ton of pink I ended up actually liking this combination better than atomic Pink's the go figure so what I've come up with as a concoction is a combination of Cherry Bomb from special effects and hot hot pink from Manic Panic now this one from Manic Panic the hot hot pink is a very fuchsia purpley pink and that's fine but I don't like that color so I like this one because it has a little bit of red tint and so when I first dye my hair for the first couple of like week and a half or two weeks it's a very reddish pink I love that it's such a pretty color and then ends up feeding to this hot pink that we all know and love and it's kind of like the best of both worlds my hair is actually very faded it's been a total of six weeks since I initially dyed it then about three weeks and I did a refresh or and I'll talk about what I do when I do that in just a second but it you know it turns definitely a pink color after a while but I'll have some photos here that I can insert initially it's very very red and I like that it's kind of neat to have this red pink and then it turns into pink pink you know like to have on hand there's a little tiny spatula I think I got this in the kitchen section at a hardware store some and I thought and this helps you to scrape color out of the bowl this is really helpful when I'm mixing these two together and then I want to save what I have leftover also one thing you might need is a little empty jar for molding hair dye so I didn't say stuff a little differently than I have in the past I used to have this whole purple section connected and as you can see I now have a section of pink in between where the purple is on the side and where it is in the front section here now originally when I was dyeing my hair I thought I was going to go ahead and do the blonde route or blonde bangs like I have been doing and I think stuff actually end up getting globbed on it and it was like okay well I'm gonna fix this by just making it purple but I do want to talk to you guys about how I make it blonde in case you're interested so because that hair is next to all these other hairs it's going to end up kind of mixing but a little that's why I always kind of had blonde bangs that were kind of like pink tinted or whatever but what I do to kind of stop that color from getting on at full monty is I use a clear version of this vegetable based dye so I use the Pravana Vivid's in clear coat the hair with it sometimes I would even mix in a little bit of the wild flower color to give it a little bit of a purple stain this has turned my hair a little too actually let's make it look a little gray in the past so you want to be very careful with that the front section of my hair is you'll notice a little bit lighter then the sides over here that's because the base had that clear coat on top and then I put the color over it which will make it a little lighter which is a great way by the way to make pastel colors is to mix it in with a clear color or you can also just mix it in with a leave-in conditioner or something like this this works great for making pastel color so you can always share these colors out make new colors like I always mix these tubes when I go to mix my pink here's the ratio that I use I use about 4 to 1 ratio of this maybe even less of this color so I really like the Cherry Bomb because it's that red pink it has that vibrancy used the Cherry Bomb the most so this is the main color that I use and then I just use a little sqweep's of the Manic Panic hot hot pink which is more of like a few shipping fat purpley pink and so I just want that to kind of like tint and influence this one but I don't want it to like actually make a baby does that make sense so I do this little front section first and then I do the back section of the pink and I apply it to the route first I probably route and then extend it out to the ends and then once I was done with the pink I went ahead and did the purple sides I have a little bit of purple I think in the back as well I don't remember what I did at the time but I you know kind of have like the top section is pink and then the sides and a little bit of the back is purple now in terms of the developing time for this you can actually leave it on for pretty much as long as you want this is again I want to say it's nondamaging you damaged your hair when you did the bleach that's what opened up the cuticle this is just injecting the color and it doesn't do you any harm I know some people who are like I sleep in the hair dye and I think that's going a little far I generally leave it in anywhere from you know half an hour if I'm super super busy and I have things to do that day or I'll sometimes leave it in for up to three hours but I will say that if I leaving them for like a half an hour it does fade faster than when I leave it in for a full hour when you go to rinse this part out you condition but you don't shampoo when you first dye your hair you don't want to shampoo it for about 48 hours it helps the hair color to stick and then what I do is I use a deep conditioner just one is from Wella this is the brilliance it's actually made for color treated hair actually like this one the calm better but this is what I bought last time so I have both of them to show I think the calm one actually does a better job at maintaining my hair color announcing that I use is black hair dye because my hair is not naturally poor that you could actually see my roots a little bit I'm sort of like a very dark ash blonde or very light ash brown whichever you prefer to call me I don't care so what I use to make my hair black is black hair dye I tend to use the more neutral shades of black hair dye every few months I go ahead and use like more blue-black because the natural base are like the neutrally black colors I tend to fade fast for some reason I don't know why but the blue blacks tend to stick around so every now and then I kind of switch to a blue-black I think that this one was actually maybe a little bit of a blue-black this is the aged beautiful anti age hair color whatever it was on sale at Sally's I'm not very very picky about the black that I use to be honest with you with that I use a level 10 developer I really like the eye on sensitive scalp developers I find that they work really nice they smell the best if developer can never smell good who's the number 10 because I only needed to really deposit colors it doesn't really need to damage the hair as much so just a little brief history on developer the lower the number the less damaged when I did the black portion of my hair I actually dyed it a couple of weeks after I initially dyed the pink of the purple and everything sometimes this happens sometimes they don't have time today to do all the stuff and it does take many many hours to dye my hair it's pretty simple though I just section up the pink and purple out of the way and I like to dye the black after I've done the others because it makes it easier I can just put it all up and then die of black what I do is I mix up the color with a developer Mixy Mixy mixed according to the directions each one is different so I don't want to say for sure what you do and then I apply it with a tint brush and I plate to the roots let it develop and then I pull the color through the ends that way it can kind of revitalize the black throughout the hair strands because it does tend to fade because my hair is resistant to the black fun times but it also like refuses to let it go once it sticks now in terms of developing this you want to leave it on for 20 to 25 minutes not very long you know you put it on pretty much as soon as you've cleaned everything up it's time to rinse the hair and that is how I dye my hair now I do maintain it in a few different ways so what I do is about every three weeks i refresh the color as needed sometimes every three weeks I don't need it sometimes after two weeks I need it just depends on if I've you know use some harsher shampoos if I've gone swimming things like that so let's first talk about what you need to do to maintain your color you need to use a sulfate-free shampoo if you can find one that also has UV filters that's really helpful my favorite is the lawns of healing color care I've used this for freaking years it's my favorite I love it I'm pretty faithful to this stuff and yeah love it can't say enough about it it has the UV filters in it it's sulfate free you don't need as much as you think you do I really just put it in the roots of my hair and then sort of rinse it through the ends because you don't need to wash your hair the ends of your hair as much as you think you do and then for conditioner for every day I like the Carol's Daughter monoi repairing conditioner stuff it's pretty nice it doesn't have any silicones in it so it doesn't weigh my hair down because I need a little help because it's a little flat obviously not today I got all the hair products in it but you know you get the idea I've also been using the living proof full line of shampoo and conditioner and those are pretty good too I'd still prefer these ones though the thing that you can do to keep the hair color vibrant is to use a clear coat on top of it so sometimes when I go to do the black portion of my hair but I think I did it this time I put the clear coat on the pink in the purple part of my hair to kind of seal it in and stop it from feeding as fast this is a really really great thing to do the other thing you can do is use some pastel shades to sort of keep them vibrant and add like a little bit of color without having to go you know full monty and add some of these ones so I have like this one from Pravana this is the pink it's very very very very very pastel on its own but it does a really great job of making this nice and shiny and pink again when it's gotten a little like it's almost ready for a full day job but not quite yet I go to refresh my color I do not bleach it you don't have to bleed your every time you just need to make sure that the hair is nice and dry so I'll use that clarifying shampoo make sure my hair is bone-dry don't put any conditioner in blow dry it and then I put the color in right on top of it I don't do the black as often as I recolor the pink and the purple because again that's not damaging I can put that color in without hurting my hair I read you the black about every four weeks which is still pretty often but the black again it's a level ten it doesn't do a ton of damage and it's only on the bottom part of my hair which is healthier than the top part of my hair just in terms of like my own personal hair as I said I did the whole shebang bleached it all did the whole thing six weeks ago and then it faded pretty fast actually within three weeks my hair was pretty crazy looking on the bottom here and I did notice that it does tend to stay brighter here at the roots where the hair is healthier and then at the ends where the hair you know tends to have more product if you use a flatter you tend to use it more on the ends by the way heat styling will kill your hair color so use it sparingly I try not to use a flatiron on my hair at all but I did a couple times this last month because I had events to go to where I had to have you know super polished hair and because of that and because I went swimming a lot last month my hair color just was like gone so I revitalized it in the method that I just described and what I did this time to stop the hair color from fading because I didn't want to stop swimming swimming is like my favorite thing to do I actually started putting very deep conditioner like taking it on like tons and tons and tons of it putting in my hair to the point where like when it dries it actually is like almost hard and keeping my hair completely pinned up and out of the way and don't get any water on it as best I can it's some of it ends up getting on your hair unfortunately but I really tried to keep it out of water this time and three weeks and my hair is still pretty darn vibrant it's actually doing really well so um I'm very very happy with the cherry bomb you know Manic Panic mixture that I have going on I think it's a really great color this stuff sockson doesn't last but what are you gonna do it's my favorite color I can't help myself and then yeah just keeping your hair out of the water will help keep it vibrant using the sulfate free shampoos feel like I've been talking for about a hundred thousand years I just want to say thank you for sitting through this very long video I know it's a lot of them for me it just you know I wanted to get it all out there and just kind of fully explain it it's it here's something about dyeing your hair it is difficult and there's a reason why hair stylists get paid what effect I think they're in a lot of ways they're underpaid because it's like science what they do but it's it you know it's not hard like calculus is hard but it is lard doing chemistry basically it's tedious you know it's tiresome it's a lot of focus and attention and things like that so you know it's totally doable if you if you have the focus and the drive the will and the heart you can make it happen now you also want to say I do have any tutorial for this look so you want to go ahead and click
