Let'S go ahead and address the elephant in the room. Yes, I cut my hair, it's not crazy, but it gets crazy. For me, this is the shortest my hair has ever been, and I just feel like man, I feel like a woman, I feel sassy. I feel fun I feel fresh. I feel like this is the healthiest my hair has ever looked, let's go ahead and jump on into today's video. Today'S video is all about blonde hair, whether you have straight hair, curly, hair, wavy, hair whatever it may be. It'S all about maintaining your blonde hair. Changing your blonde hair, I'm gon na! Take you to the hairdresser with me. Show you the exact color she whips up for me and then walk you through kind of how I maintain my blonde while having like healthy hair. If I do say so myself and a big big, thank you to not your mothers for sponsoring today's video and working with me, you guys know I work with them all the time I love their brand. I love their team. I love their products. So let's go ahead and head to the hair salon. This is the after role the before meet Joanne, my sassy hair angel, who whips up the perfect color. For me, every single time, Joanne is just mixing up the magic, as you saw. Those are the three ingredients that she puts together to with this puppy up, so I always sit there. Talk with her show her how my hair has grown out, that it's tragic, that I can't live with this color anymore and then she's like okay girl. I got you how I personally get my hair highlighted roughly like every two months, sometimes a little bit over, so I typically get my hair partially highlighted four times in the year and then full highlights twice in the year. I do not get lowlights. I only get highlights - and you can see right here - that color that's closest to my scalp, that is my natural hair color. So it's like a light, like kind of like ashy brown, it's a very, very light brown or like a dirty blonde. Depending on how you look at it - and this is how I look in the end - we are not back from the hair salon and it is about four days since I've gotten my hair coloured. So I have gotten it back to its natural wavy curly state in just a couple of days and gotten it back to a really healthy, healthy place. I think - and it will continue to look better as probably like the next two weeks. I think I'll be able to get it to that like really good space, but it just takes the right products and understanding your hair getting those proteins back in all that jazz. Just a little background, I was born with blonde hair and then, as I got older, got into puberty and my hair started to become not brown but like a dark blonde, so almost like a dirty blonde or like a really really light brown for the most part. That'S how it goes with blondes. If you see an adult woman who has very very bright vivid blonde hair, she most likely has highlights or dyes it in some way, shape or form. Now, let's talk about the science of what really happens when you bleach your hair, how it affects your hair so that I can then give some really solid product recommendations for how you're gon na want to maintain your blonde hair over time to keep it nice and Healthy, so, if we're looking at a strand of hair, there's different layers to it, the outermost layer is called the cuticle. Now, when you apply bleach to your hair, the bleach has to go through and penetrate to the hair cuticle to then get to the cortex, which is closer to the center of the hair follicle, so that they can actually change the color of your hair. Now, when you disturb that cuticle layer yeah, you are asking for trouble so in that cortex area, where the bleach has now penetrated. That'S where a lot of the fats and the proteins of your hair are located and that can then break down those proteins break down. Those fats and leave your hair lifeless you're, also leaving that hair cuticle open for the proteins and the fats and all the good things that we want to stay in our hair to escape our hair strands so well. Yes, there are lots and lots of dangers with dyeing your hair and bleaching your hair. There are solutions introducing your new blonde, best friend, retailing for only 749 after local targets, not your mother's blonde moment, Shampoo and Conditioner. These are purple shampoos, baby girl and they don't change alack. I have been testing purple shampoos for an eternity. I think I've tried like every brand of purple shampoo. I kid you not. These are the most well-rounded purple shampoos on the market, hands down that. I have found they are sulfate surfactant, free, paraben, free and silicone free, which is really. Let me tell you folks. It is hard to find okay, it's hard to find. So when I stumbled across these babies, we had a moment a blonde moment. Both all of you know whenever you have a color, and you want to counteract it. You just simply use the opposite. Color looking at our color wheel, the opposite of yellow, is purple. Therefore, purple shampoo is your best friend now everyone's different. I would say that I use purple shampoo once a week or once every other week, depending so when I'm not using this shampoo and conditioner. I will use my regular, not your mother's curl, top line. You guys know. I'Ve talked about this product 10 zillion times, but when I need a kick to get rid of any brassiness and also dullness in my hair, I find that this product really just tackles it. The biggest issues I've found with purple shampoos on the market is that there's not a good balance between the products working and getting rid of grassiness, but then it makes my hair really dull and dry or the product doesn't really do much, but it is hydrating in A nice shampoo - this is the best of both worlds, so this product actually has violent rice extract. It'S super nourishing super hydrating, but it also does the job. The shampoo is more pigmented than the conditioner. So this is that shampoo. I mean hello and it's air conditioner, and I did just want to note for those of you who have brown hair and you get highlights. Maybe it looks a little bit orange e. They have a brunette moment shampoo and their line that counteracts any orange tones in your hair, which I just think it's really cool and interesting, so they definitely have products for everyone. I couldn't recommend this line enough because it just genuinely worked. So the next thing that you want to be aware of with getting highlights is that you're going to lose as we spoke about fats and proteins from her hair, so moisturizing, your hair, masking your hair is absolutely essential. You guys already know that I love not your mother's matcha, green tea and apple blossom mask it's super super nourishing moisturizing, it's also silicon free. So it's genuinely going to get these good ingredients into the hair cuticle and not just like seal it up with a waxy layer. You know what I mean after getting your hair highlighted. You need really quality ingredient products, but I know that we don't all have an insane budget, so that is what I love so much about, not your mothers that their products are super super, affordable and available at your local target. I will link them all in the description box down below for you another natural option for those of you who are really seeking protein. Specifically, I would personally recommend the day you get home from getting your hair highlighted using just coconut oil heating it up in your microwave and then just applying it to your hair to really get those proteins back into your hair. I wouldn't leave it in for forever. I personally find that my hair can almost begin to look straw like if I leave coconut oil in my hair for too long. So definitely be cautious of that you want to get the proteins back in it, but not too much and then once you have those proteins back in your hair, just mask mask mask to get the nutrients and that moisture that your hair desperately needs backing your hair. Now, for those of you who are still considering and unsure whether or not you want to get your hair highlighted or dyed or changed in any way, I would just consider where your hair is at what color is it and what color you want. For example, if you have brown hair - and you want some highlights to get a more overall light - brown that is very different from going from black hair to blonde hair, so just note the more levels you change, there's going to be more damage associated with it. It is not impossible to have happy healthy, color-treated hair, but it is more time-consuming and you might have to change up your process a little bit. I'Ve had many many of you message me saying you know I had dark brown hair. I went to blond. My hair pattern has completely changed. My curls aren't curling up as much my hair isn't as hydrated looking and just that. You totally regret it, and my biggest recommendation is to change your routine you're gon na have to accommodate for the changes that you've made to your hair, whether that now be adding a leave-in into your hair. Not your mother's has an amazing amazing leave-in from the same exact line. It has a really lovely spray. It'S very fine gosh, it's almost like a mist, it smells beautiful. It smells like really expensive salon, hair products - oh I love it anyways, so maybe you'll have to add a leave-in to your teen. Maybe you need to start doing a deep conditioning mask three times a week. I don't know exactly what it looks like for you, but I do think that you will most likely have to change your routine and add a couple more steps of moisture protein, etc to keep and maintain your new color. Last but not least, I just want to personally recommend getting your hair done professionally. I'M not saying that there's anything wrong with box hair dyes or anything like that. I have friends who box dyed their hair and it looks beautiful. So I'm not saying that, like it can't be done, but if you're not a hair stylist, maybe you should leave that to a hairstylist. I just personally feeling it's not worth ruining your hair to save a hundred bucks. You know what I'm saying. I feel like that. Everything I know that you guys have wanted this video for a while, and I've been so excited to bring it to you. I hope that you are as excited as I am about the natural mother's blonde moment line products. They are truly truly phenomenal. The leave-in conditioner, as well as Rafik rate, it works, really well as a detangle, and I just really really love the line. I hope that you found this video helpful. Please leave any comments, concerns down below, I always always say at the end of my videos. I want this to be a community, a safe place where we can go to ask each other questions, help each other out. So please, let me know if you have any specific questions. Let'S all help each other out and biggest of thank yous to not your mothers. For sponsoring today's video, I could not be more thankful to work with a brand whose products not only do I stand behind fully um, but their team is just amazing and it just it makes my job so lovely so yeah, okay, I love you guys. I hope you have an amazing rest of your day and until next time I'll see you soon bye, guys

Shae Darwood: So I'm also a dirty blonde and when I got my highlights my hair turned almost white. It's not brassy at all, but it's much whiter and lighter than I was expecting. What do you ask your stylist for to keep it a natural looking light blonde?

Sara: I actually just bought this shampoo but have not used it yet. I got my hair highlighted for the first time in 2 years (after about a decade of coloring it prior), so I'm excited to have found a CGM purple shampoo! I'm still trying to get my curls looking normal again (my hairdresser blew it out straight too which doesn't help!)

Frances Pentz: Just wanted to throw out there a different option. I actually have the Not your mother’s blonde moment line, but I also love Fanola No Yellow shampoo. It’s my personal favorite of the purple shampoos I have tried!
curlgurl: SO HELPFUL THANKS SIS! I've never colored my curls before but I was wanting to go lighter with some highlights before my wedding/honeymoon. I have six months til then, when should I get it colored so that it will look the best and I can still rock my natural curls on my big day? Like should I get it colored now and then touch it up again before the wedding?
Starbies hoe: I’ve been using blonde moment for like 5 months. THE. BEST. I’m obsessed
Emma Davis: Do you have any resources you recommend for learning more about protein in your hair? I know you mentioned getting too much protein from using coconut oil for too long, but what does that look like? How can you know how to balance the amount of protein in your hair? It's all pretty confusing to me haha
Haile Peach: Please tell me how you get your part so perfect?! Mine never lays right since my front pieces curl forward.

Adrienne: Dear India, can you please address the issue going on with devacurl and the lawsuit?
Shaye Maxey: It's so funny that you posted this because I'm getting my hair highlighted this weekend so this was super helpful!
Fresca Kanari: As a current cosmetology student, I really don’t recommend box dye because it penetrates your hair with very unhealthy ingredients which make it difficult to go lighter and can actually fill the cuticle with high levels of ammonium and other bad ingredients even if box dye claims to be ammonium free. Just be careful and seek a professional
Tim Rivera: I just got the shampoo and conditioner today. I have natural sandy ash mix blonde curly hair and I am in love with them so much.
Orewa Houston: I love you India!!!! I have wavy black hair but you bet I’m watching this
Marika Montanari: I think I might cut my hair this short too :)) Love from Italy!

Danielle Hodgson: I love this video and I can't wait to find that shampoo and conditioner next week hopefully Good video!!!!!
as28: I’ve never dyed my hair before but I’ve always really wanted too but I’m so scared it’ll be super damaged. And I’m scared I’m gonna loose the curl pattern. not sure what to do!
Sara Turner: I'm naturally blonde and I also must say, NYM's is the absolute best. I love it, too.
Jc Morton: These are the best Blues.... I've tried them ALL, and they leave your hair soft, not brittle.... ! Love the lengh of your hair!
curlyhair72400: I love Joanne! She’s been cutting my hair for past couple years since you mentioned her salon!
Raquel Pujadas Domínguez: the cut looks beautiful!!! your waves look tighter, it really suits you :)
Felicia Bethea: Olaplex #3 before and after any color change, or ANY hair procedure really. It's a bond rebuild, not a conditioner. Then masking every week might help even more.
Shana Ayers: I just bought that shampoo and conditioner and I’ve actually used it everyday and it’s great
Ashley Zavala: What do you ask for when you get your hair cut? I love this cut it looks so good!!
Tina Perera: I have dirty blonde hair and throw arctic fox on it all the time. I loooove it. I'm blue right now. But I'm considering going lighter blonde so this is helpful.

Alexis Dorr: Awesome video!! If I have mousey brown hair originally but I’m going full blonde/ heavy blonde highlights should I get the blonde or brunette version of this product?
Jennifer Mackall: India, love your channel! Check out the Think Dirty app. It shows which products are toxic and which are not. I realize some of these people are paying you, and still, young girls are looking up to you and their health is at stake.

K: Her eyes just hypnotize me, such beautiful color
Eden Robinson: You would looks so good with a cool dark brown!!!
Fandering Worest: I think your natural hair color would look even better! That brown is nowhere to find in salons! It would really bring out your eye color, even though it already is brought out
