I Let My Subscribers Pick My Hair Color

I've never dyed my hair before, so I decided to take the plunge...and as a thank you for 4 million subscribers, I wanted to let you guys help me out with my hair makeover! So I had you vote on Twitter and on YouTube, and then went to a salon and had my hair dyed the ~mystery~ color!

A big thank you once again to Natalie, you can find her here!!

*Intro Music*, Hello, friends and welcome to another video Today, I'm gon na. Let my subscribers aka, you guys pick my hair color.. So there's a few things going on here: ... First off I've never dyed my hair before ever.., But I'd like to do it at least once in my life. And secondly, last year I ended up growing my hair out because I was doing a bunch of decades Fashion videos and I wanted my hair to be lengthy for the 60s and the 70s. So at this point I've got really long hair and I want to dye it at some point, so I feel like. I should do it now, because I've got all this extra space to play and if I'm gon na cut it off eventually, why not have a little fun. Finally, I thought it would be cool to do some type of interactive video as a thank you to you guys for 4 million subscribers, but over the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to dye my hair. So, let's do it now. To decide the hair color. I put up a couple of different polls on YouTube and Twitter, prompting you to choose from a selection of colors, all of which I'm open to and all of which are also in like an ombré or balayage style.. I can never say that word., I always say biologe, but it's balayage balayage ba -lay-age.. None of those are correct. I'M sure., So the first option on the poll is a natural ombré look., It's kind of like a lighter brown or caramel color.. I feel like in an alternate universe, where I'm a contestant on The Bachelor. My hair looks like this. Option. Number two is a gray ombré style kind of inspired by the fact that I'm starting to sprout a few gray hairs here and there, and it's also kind of inspired by Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix's, previously grey hairs.. I just feel like this would be a cool way to embrace my graying scalp. Option. Number three is a blue ombre, which is kind of like ravenclaw inspired.. I'M not gon na lie, I'm a little bit nervous about how the blue would fade out, but I also think that at first the blue would be like really cool and kind of subtle. And option. Four is a lavender ombre. I've seen this look really cool on other people and it's kind of like a different take on the grey, so I just threw it into the mix.. So up until this point to keep everything a surprise, I have not reviewed the results of the polls.. In fact, I'm gon na have Tyler go in and compile the raw numbers of the results from the Twitter poll and the YouTube video poll and from those numbers he's gon na tell the hair stylist, which color she should dye. My hair and I'm gon na find out your guys's choice in the salon when it's done.. Alright, let's do it. Good morning, It's decently early in the morning well early for us., It's around 8 a.m. and we're heading to the hair salon. Right now to get my hair dyed, but because I'm changing my hair today, we ended up filming a lot of stuff late into the night last night, because I didn't want like for my hair to randomly change in the middle of videos, which it's definitely still gon Na do ( Tyler Yeah ), like I feel like for the next like three videos, I'm just gon na like have black hair in the beginning and then halfway through have mystery. Hair. Tyler, Mystery hair, Safiya That I don't know yet. Tyler, But I know.. So I'm excited to see what happens and basically everyone knows but me.. So we were recommended by a friend to go to Natalie at the This or Die hair salon in Atwater Village. Everyone say: `` Hi, Natalie, !'', Tyler, Hi, Natalie. Hi.. We had sent her images of all of our options and then Tyler had called ahead to tell her, which one won.. Do you always part your hair on this side? Yes, usually right, here., Natalie Okay.. Do you want layers at all? Maybe I mean sometimes I feel like that shows off the color. Yeah I'm down for layers.. I feel like I just don't want to take too much length off, because my safety plan is, if I freak out - and I don't like it - then I'm just gon na *Cutting, sound* Natalie cut it off okay. Safiya, Not immediately. You know not like today, but you know down the line. Natalie Right. Safiya, Given that I had never dyed my hair before I was a little nervous, especially about the bleaching.. I'Ve heard bad things and I've seen bad things., So you're thinking you want to keep the ombre starting a little bit lower Yeah, maybe like a little bit more like bob length., Natalie, Okay, alright., It's actually better that you've never colored your hair.. It'S gon na make my job a lot easier.. Are you ready, Safiya Yeah? I think I'm ready Natalie, Okay cool.. Let me go mix up. and I'll. Be right. Back. So Natalie said that since I had virgin hair, we were going to be able to do all of the bleaching and dyeing in one session and she pretty much got straight down to business.. First, she started by teasing my hair and then adding bleach to the ends. Natalie. Did you warn your friends and family that you're doing this Safiya No. Natalie No. Safiya? My mom's gon na have a heart, attack. Natalie? Is that gon na happen? Are you gon na? Do a tattoo! Well, if I hit 5 million subs, maybe I'll. Let them pick my tattoo next., Because after that, what do you do Choose which finger to lose.? This teasing technique was to make the transition between my hair and the color more of a gradient rather than a harsh line.. The vibe was definitely like an aluminum Beetlejuice.. You know my initials S.N. do stand for the element: Tin. Tyler. This is destiny. Then., My entire life has led up to this moment., As this was happening, the reality of what we were doing started to set in, but once the bleach was on, there was really no turning back. Natalie. Okay, so you can see the color is lifting really nice.. Tyler, Oh wow, Natalie Right Tyler, Oh whoa, What's going on back there Tyler! Oh, it's good Saf.! Already It's already green! So once she had fully foiled me, she put me inside her warm alien, pod aka underneath the blow dryer.. Where are you taking me? I feel like for most people watching who have gotten their hair done before they're gon na be like `` You're, an idiot ,''. But for me it was a new experience and yes, the last time I stepped into a hair salon was 2016.. I think I've reached full Chipotle burrito. Tyler. Is it the tin, foil, Yeah., Based on the way they look inside? It'S almost like a half-eaten taco., Hair, tacos, Tyler, Hair tacos.. That sounds like something else. Safiya Laughs. Natalie was very keen on not letting me know the color and actually was like throwing out some misdirections. It looks blue that could be the bleach that could be the color. We don't know. Yet. Tyler Natalie is really selling this Safiya Yeah Natalie's Savage.. Some of my tacos were ready to be Unshelled, so we made a few trips back and forth from the alien pod to the sink. Natalie. Oh, it's like a rat's nest back there Safiya It's like a rat king and back again.. I kind of look like a Founding father with bedhead., I'm like John Adams, and I woke up in my curls or kind of just askew, I'm like Abigail Abigail and a couple of my gray hair's made an appearance. Is that bleached in there Tyler? Is that a gray popping up for Saf Nah, it's bleach. Natalie, It's bleach.! I don't see any gray is on your head, Safiya, Oh really, Natalie, yeah, Safiya There's, one or two. Sometimes Tyler will trim them if he spots them., So we rinsed and we toned Natalie. Okay, See how it's starting to turn purpley Tyler is that the color Saf? Oh, It is purple. A lot of leading words being said Natalie. It could be throwing you off, though, or trying to throw you off., Safiya and then Natalie, and I tried to convince Tyler to perm his hair. Tyler. Oh, oh, oh Safiya, You had a success. Perm. Tyler, Natalie D'ya think I should get a perm Natalie. You Tyler yeah Natalie. Oh definitely, There's actually a look right now. It'S like kind of a perm just for it's a boys cut and it's called meet me at McDonald's. It'S like short on the sides and really curly on top Safiya Tyler. When your channel hits a million subs you're gon na get a meeting at McDonald's and you're gon na get a perm Tyler, you mean if, if it hits a million subs Safiya, I just hope this doesn't turn into another mustache situation where I like it, but no One else does Tyler everyone's seen it now. So If that's appealing to you., I guess subscribe to MY channel Safiya. So after rinsing out all of the toner, I was allowed to see myself in all of my bleached glory. Natalie We've got the first toner done. Safiya Okay. Natalie, So we're gon na dry you Safiya, Should I look now Natalie. If you want, you can look now: yeah Tada, You're done., Safiya Wow, I'm like a man-of-war, jellyfish, Tyler yeah, Safiya I've got like a mass, and I've got tentacles. So Natalie and Tyler went into the back to mix up the dyes, And then it was time to put it on my head: Natalie, okay, So I'm starting Safiya! Oh, It's happening Natalie Its happening., Safiya Natalie, turned me around to make sure that I couldn't see anything and then, when she like got closer to my peripheral vision. I just closed my eyes. Tyler. If I wash my hair after a perm, it goes away right, Natalie and Safiya no Natalie, Not if it's a permanent perm. Tyler. Wasn'T that the plot point in Legally Blonde Safiya, You can ruin the curls. If you wash it too soon. Natalie, That's true. Tyler. How long does it stay for Safiya until it grows out Natalie Yeah? I think you should actually do this. This could be good, Safiya *Laughs*, Safiya once the dye was all in they put me under a towel. Natalie. Now you look like an Amish lady., Safiya, hmm, Tyler, *Laughs*, Natalie, Okay, Safiya. How do you solve a problem like Maria Yeah, sound of music? No nun Underneath here is my subscriber hair color right now, It's just like a giant dreadlock. Natalie Okay.. It'S looking good. Safiya! All right is it time Natalie, I think it's time.. Are you ready Safiya Wait? What are we doing next Natalie We're gon na rinse, ya, Safiya and then Natalie Brushed out. My nest gave me a quick trim and a couple of layers.. I feel the hair dropping on my hands. Natalie. Oh, Actually be careful not to look at what drops. Okay, I'm gon na start the blow-dry Safiya All right, I don't know where anyone is But we're blow-drying. It was around this time that I decided to take a nap. It was warm., I was being brushed. I just I felt like no one would miss me. Tyler You fallin' asleep, down there Safiya, Actually a little bit. It'S very relaxing. Tyler, yeah, Safiya and once I awoke. It was time for the reveal Natalie Dun, dun, dun, (, dramatic, sound effect ). So the final results of the poll were 4 % or 16,000 votes for natural ombre, 14 % or 48,000 votes for the blue, ombre, apparently you're, all slytherins 38 %, or a hundred and twenty-nine thousand votes for lavender ombre and then with 44 % or a hundred And fifty thousand votes the gray ombre, which is now on my head, Natalie Open your eyes, Safiya Shocked, sound at first. I couldn't quite see anything because it was kind of like a dark steel. Color! Oh, is it blue Tyler? No Natalie, It's the gray, It's brighter! If it was the blue. Safiya - Oh my God, Whoa, oh, that looks cool Natalie. What do you think Safiya? Oh Tyler, That looks so good Safiya? I look like a Disney villain, mermaid Natalie. It is a little villainy. Safiya Natalie said she had made it a bit. Darker at first so to have a longer Lifespan and fade out over time to that lighter gray from the photos. Awesome. Thank you so much Natalie this looks so great.. It look so fun Natalie. I was so happy to do this.. This was really fun. I liked the big surprise and, like I said, I think this color is perfect for you.. It'S not too shocking. I feel like Safiya for my first time. Natalie Right, Safiya. You know kind of getting my feet wet. I love it cuz, it's kind of like cool tone like I'm, just like a little more evil than before. Overall, I'm very happy with this hair color. I think you guys did a great job. Choosing Tyler. You match the wall behind you Safiya. Can you see it in the light Tyler? Oh yeah Safiya, I mean I'll, go full ring girl to show you Tyler. It'S like steel, hair, Safiya Yeah, Tyler, blue steel, Safiya, as I said before. I liked all of the options, But maybe I was a little bit partial to the gray because of my own graying head and now You can't even tell if there's gray hairs on my head, if it's on purpose or if I'm just old L'Oreal, Because I'm aging It'S now been a few days and a few washes since I dyed it, And I think Natalie was right that it is fading out now to look a little bit. Lighter gray, like the photos, Natalie mentioned that once the color fades out, it'll turn like a platinum blonde, at which point I thought that I would just want to Chop it off and have shorter hair, But I feel like I might just want to go back to Her and ask for the same thing, because I really liked that Original dark metallic color that kind had the like is it died or is it not died vibe but, as Natalie said, Paraphrased once. You pop the fun, Don't stop so we could just try out any Of the other colors that you guys didn't like as much Thank you guys so much for watching Thanks to everyone who voted in the polls and thank you in advance to Natalie for perming Tyler's hair.

Safiya Nygaard: HELLO FRIENDS!! i finally followed through on my promise and dyed my hair!! what do you think? what should i do with it next? should tyler get a perm? xoxo, saf EDIT: wait until the end to see footage of my hair after it faded a bit! and check my insta for a new hair check in :)

Simply Nailogical: Damn Stacy London looking good!!! also THE HAIRDRESSER TURNED YOU AROUND AND SAID THE VERY WORDS THAT HAVE SHAPED MY LIFE WHAT UNIVERSE AM I WATCHING THIS IN

eli b: Tyler is at 1mil now, is he gonna get the perm ?

Murphy Cuddles: I’m kinda disappointed, don’t get me wrong I really like the gray, but I think she would have looked SUPER good in the lavender

Ella Smith: Lol I'm rewatching thus in 2019... after she let her subscribers pick her tattoo

Sheela Praksham: Who is rewatching like all of safiya's and Tyler's content during quarantine?

KnivesMeow: Not gonna lie, I’m a little bummed lavender didn’t win. You should do that next!

Mon L.: Saf and Natalie: It's not too shocking for the first time getting your hair dyed Me, the first time I dyed my hair: *went full on for cotton candy pink hair*

Mermaid Maham: Saf: And then she started teasing my hair. Me: Imagining she started making fun of safiya's hair.

???????: Safiya: "a mouse king” Me: runs in from other room: NAY, PRINCE. SAFIYA THE MOUSE PRINCE!!

Kaya Morell: Once I saw it I couldn’t stop feeling really happy I LOVE IT!!!

GlamFam Hair & Beauty: I love how it's fading, You can really see the gray more on the 5th versus the 1st. Grey and silver are such on trend colors, I do think it's wise though to start with something more subdued when its your first time coloring, so I can understand why you would love the darker grey tones!

Merle Meraño Gonzales GiGi: When Natalie said "what do you think??" Me:*instantly think of cristine meme* and hear her voice

abbie miller: I've been considering getting a emerald or teal green ombre on my hair and I've done something similar before and it looked really flattering on brunette hair

Purple Mushroom: I would dye my hair my house color, but I dont think I can pull off green hair.

Jill Stevenson: I really like how you curled your hair. That's really beautiful!

gabi: You should’ve gone to Jenna’s Ratchet Salon

crispyein: Why are y'all disappointed? I think the gray hair looks awesome! especially when she curled it :0

Samantha Miel: *Safiya:* Where are you taking me? *Me and my Hamilton obsession:* I’m about to change your life. Then by all means lead the way.

Erica B: I have a blue balyage and I love it! She also rocks the silver ombré really well!

an anonymous idiot: She needs to do a part 2 of this, asap!

Nikolitjan: For those who may think it's a waste since you can't see the difference in the color: Hairstylist ALWAYS does this. If you go to a shop and say you want pastel or light blue, for example, then they will always say okay, I'm going to dye your hair dark blue. Because then instead of you wandering out with pastel blue and it dissapearing after 1 week, then you walk out with dark blue hair, and it turned pastel or light blue after 1-2 weeks, and then it will stay light for like 2 weeks more. So a hairstylist will always tell you to go a bit darker, so that you don't waste your money on 1 week of fun, when it could've been 4 weeks :-)

Erika Newell: It looks soo good Saf!!!

Tessa Mei: Your videos are so awesome! I love watching them

julie Patrick: You look so pretty with your hair curled!!!!

Kaja Verlinšek: Your hair is GORGEOUS!!!! ❤️ ❤️

Yemmi: She looks so pretty in this!

Blackberry Dog: I voted the grey. It looks very cute and should be glad you have lovely hair.

rachel: I saw this later than it came out and I said before I saw the final form. I wanted the grey to win. I was so excited when it was grey. It looks so good and I love it.

🔥Ember🔥: Tyler you would look GREAT with the "Meet me at McDonalds!"

Jess Bunty: Damn, I voted for purple! The grey is nice but difficult to see. But maybe this is just the start of your hair colouring adventures!

Roberta Fisher: I liked the grey, I didn't think I would! Xxx

Stephanie Flores: I actually highlighted my hair for the first time last year. The hairstylist said that the result is similar to baylage

spooky doot doot: I dyed my hair blue and the dye was temporary but it stayed in for like a year Also bleaching your hair damages it a little , since I did to dye it blue , but as long as you condition it well and put in oil and good hair products it’ll be fine , just bleach it once

HeyItsJoy: Saf would have looked so amazingly beautiful with blue xD

Luiza Nacif: Safiya's reaction was that fake smile you give to the hairdresser before you go back home and start crying over the hair you don't like. But it looks so cute after ten days

Catherine Manning: As someone who has dyed their hair probably 12 times in the last few years, yes it is addicting. Doesn't help that I hate my natural dirty blond color, so I prefer to dye it crazy, bold colors, or just really dark colors instead.

Mimy: Noooo i wanted it to be purple

aerdna: Legends say Tyler never got the “meet me at McDonald’s”.

Kare Bear: I love it, probably because black/grey is my favorite color.

Soph: When the hairdresser said what do ya think? All I could think of was Cristine with “ *what do ya thiiiink?* ”

Hannah Mathew: I would love you to have purple or blue but you still look amazing!

Chelsey: Natalie is great. She just plays right along. And safiya is so cute

Samantha Gedville: Love your videos!!!

Isabella Ramos: You look GREAT!!

Bazil Taylor: I dyed my hair blue for Ravenclaw, you totally should have!

Linda Truong: Don’t worry Safiya I dyed my hair at the age of 9 and the bleaching didn’t damage my hair so much but just make sure you take a little more hair care than usual to make sure nothing happens.

Hamsnub: The grey was hardly even noticeable, lavender should have won.

Jayne Davis: I like that they edited out “choose your baby’s name” because there’s no way that no one thought of that. I feel better about the perm than I did about the moustache. That may just be because perms aren’t permanent for me because my hair is super-fine & despite being very long, there’s not a lot of it

Ariya: I wanted her to get purple ombre (but majority won),this looks cute as well....especially when she curled it!!

Stephanie Charlene Goldsmith: I love your hair so much and you look beautiful

Classic_stupid_reboot: I think she should of done Frankenstein hair dye

Claire Vickers: HILARIOUS LOVE THE HAIR CUT AND COLOUR

Matilda Yarrow: I like the colour it goes with your dark hair !!

Natalie Scarlett: don’t get me wrong, it looks amazing but i’m a little bummed that it looks very similar to her old color, i would’ve loved to see the purple or blue. regardless it still suits safiya

Ashlee Kaut-Turney: I really like the gray Saf! Thats the one i liked too!

paradiseana1 ana: The cut and color was awesome. I think you would have also looked pretty in the lavender, maybe that's a future video?? Luv the curls/waves on day 5 very pretty.

getnoob2007: Welcome to the hair dye community! Where all your dreams come true! :D (I'm so late)

ElaraNova: I voted for the Lavender Ombré. Because it was grayish and I thought it would look cool.

Tins Beans: i feel like the fact that saf turned and wasn't sure what colour it was tells a lot already lol

Abbey •: You would look sooooo good with fully bleach blonde hair sis

Unicorn Productions: I love her curls

kinda.rehearsed: Wait he hit a million he didn't get the perm saf! Someone get this man a perm

DaBossKitty: I think you look beautiful but everyone else chose (in my opinion) the least fun choice. I think purple would’ve looked bomb

Just another goat: REASONS TO SUBSCRIBE TO TYLER: 1. He legit makes great and funny videos 2. I wanna see a PERMED Tyler make great and funny videos

Aj Wants death: Shes so good the salon I went to did not use toner at all and killed my hair

N: Who’s here after there married❤️

Holly: Love how she jokes about getting a tattoo at 5 million subs, but yet here we are a few months later with her subscriber-chosen tattoo.

Julia Jones: You look so good in gray

Sweet Fox: The stylist did what she thought would look good in Safiyas dark hair. Gray is a difficult color to work with in dark brown/black hair, and she made it a metal grey so that it would fade into a light grey. It would be a rip off of if Safiyas hair faded to platinum blonde in a week. Also, Guy Tang doesn't take many clients, and his services are very expensive. The models in the photo are primed and prepared to perfection, NO ONE naturally looks like that. Don't hate guys! This hair color is manageable and it compliments Safiyas natural beauty. For her first time dying her hair, the color is really quite nice. Love you Saf Have a good day everybody

rashel: omfg your hair is so pretty also i love your vids

Maddie Bernard: I love it!! This is a great idea. Happy lots of people subscribers. Face palm

Megan Mart-Kirven: Safiya: I have 4 million subscribers! Me: it’s been a year and you have double that amount...... Go Safiya!

FATIMA DANAH BASHEER: Wow... only a year and your at 7 million perks of being a great youtuber

Meriam: I’m so impressed Tyler understood the perm plot on legally blonde

raina datta: I love u so much..u are so funny..such creative vid ideas

HollyOxenfree: I love your laugh Safiya

Rachana U: I would love to see you dye it burgundy!!

Knuckles Rule: I love dying my hair (: but I don't bleach my hair because I only ever got red, purple (twice) and some other colours. And they all worked on my hair colour (My hair is like a dark brown but it's supposed to be dirty blonde)

Emily Rose: That hairstylist didn’t do her job. The picture they showed her was way more intense. It doesn’t matter what she thinks will look good on Saf, as a hairstylist you have to listen to your costumers request. It wasn’t bad but I can’t tell a difference and you could tell Saf wasn’t excited.

claudia sneddon: I don’t understand why people are so disappointed in the colour it’s really pretty ❤️❤️❤️ P.S. it was us who chose the colour

AYESHA MOTAN: You literally gained 3M+ subscribers in the whole 2018. And now you have 7M I'm total! CONGRATS

Lindsey V.: This color really looked great! I see that Tyler is past the 1M subs now. Is he really going to do the Meet Me at McDonalds perm?

Dianne Grace Juanillo: We need tyler to get his hair permed! We're at 1M subs!!!!

KIMYOKITTEN: Loved your new hair, Safiya. The blue orange and purple hair looks great on you. Just kidding... don’t want to spoil it for anyone

Emmy Bear: Me in quarantine like: those where the days...

Una Karen Guðmundsdóttir: Tyler has 1 million subs so i just have on question : WHERE IS THE PERM?!

milo bowhay: can confirm once you dye you never stop

Emily Fu: Do any of you understand how long it takes to strip colour off hair then add colour back on? Silver takes so long to achieve and for some it takes multiple sessions... based on how long this took that level of colour is what you would expect. Saf I think it would’ve turned out much more intense if you went to another stylist! Your hair is super dark and will not bleach and lift the same way Caucasian hair does, and even mid bleach it doesn’t look as light as it should have

That one fangirl 333: You should buy two different DNA test and compare them! You could compare things like how long the results took, compare the results to each other, etc. I want to see this so badly! I know I requested a few times before, but I think it’s a really cool idea. Love your videos by the way!❤️

Dorota: Safiya would look good with Green ombre

graci3: tyler has 1 million subs now, when is he getting the perm?

Bella Sparkle: I wanted purple but saf, you rock it

Deborah Shepherd: Definitely go blue and then purple! :D

florrie.: It was a somehow meaningless change to me, personally, because I've colored my hair multiple times. But I remember the first time I dyed it and even though it was a change as small as Saf's, it felt like the world. So be kind to her when commenting, because it's her first time and more importantly, because she did it for you. ♥

Silver: So, um.. where is the video of Tyler getting the "Meet me @ McDonald's?" When's that coming out?

Neha: I think that the blue would've looked good

Hopeless Aiden: Saf: " apparently you are all Slytherins." Me: Nope. I'm a Ravenclaw.

Lorraine Kirrane: Love it

Ashley S: When she did the big reveal, and even you couldn't see the colour! "is it blue?!" You look gorgeous anyways girl, subtle or not!!
