I think I'm most nervous. I do have a relaxer in my hair, so the lift on my hair might be a little bit more difficult.. So I'm just going to take a little piece and we'll just do a test. Strand., That's not good! News. Hi I'm Rebecca and I'm from Minnesota. I'm taking my hair from black to rose gold balayage. Before we get into this transformation, don't forget to subscribe below.! I wasn't super adventurous with my hair growing up.. I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary partially because I just didn't think I was edgy and cool enough to do an interesting color.. I just wasn't sure if highlighting or balayage would work with my personal style. Also, I don't think my parents would have been okay with that.. My mom dealt with my hair by pretty much trying to, I guess, wrangle it.. She tried a variety of different like straightening treatments, blow drying it you name it. We probably tried it, but nothing with color ever.. My mom knows that I'm dyeing my hair.. She doesn't know what the color is going to be and I was like ``. Oh she'll find out when she finds out.'', I'm most excited about trying a new look kind of pushing myself out of my comfort zone, doing something a little bit different. It's a new decade. 2020 is coming up., I'm ready for it. Hey. So what do you want to do today? So I was thinking of a rose gold ombre. Lighter at the bottom, like fading up into my hair. Maybe a little bit of balayage.. Have you ever colored your hair before I've? Never colored my hair before, but I do have a relaxer in it. Okay and are you doing that relaxer at home yourself or at a salon? I'M doing it on my own.? So I'm just gon na take a little piece and we'll just do a test strand and see what our options are. Okay.. So I did the tests. Okay. And I want you to see ..., That's not good news.. It definitely didn't lift even or well.. So I just don't think it would be a good idea.. Well, that's a little disappointing.. So what we can do instead is we can do a direct dye., We'll just get a hint of a kind of deeper color.. I'M thinking something berry would be nice.. I'M a little apprehensive., I don't know if it's going to actually look the way. I think it's going to look. I don't know if it'll look good on me., We'll get a little bit of a reflection. It'll, just kind of give that hint of that berry feeling.. It'S not too permanent and I think you'll get to test it out.. You know what I'm open.. Let'S do it.. Are you ready? I didn't even really ask you., I mean I am. Originally. I came in thinking that I was going to get a rose. Gold ombre balayage style hair transformation, but we found out because I've been doing relaxers at home, that my hair will actually disintegrate when I lighten it.. So instead I'm going to try to do an eggplant, berry, color and get bangs.. This berry. Color is kind of edgy and I think it will look good on me. Because of the chemical relaxer. I think that it just wouldn't be safe and we would damage your hair. Sometimes when people have previously relaxed their hair. The potential for damage or the hair, actually disintegrating or breaking inside the foil is very high.. The possibility of overlapping is very common.. Also the ingredients just aren't as high quality as in the salon. Alright.. So we are done, and Sarah is going to come over and she's going to do your cut. Okay.. So what we're gon na do to start is cut your length and just get rid of all the dead ends and then we'll come around and start the bang and have that flowed back to the nice soft long layers. In second grade. I believe my mom cut my hair herself and it didn't really work out, so it ended up getting shorter and shorter and shorter.. My mom was like ``, You look like Halle Berry.'' And I'm like ``. I don't.. I really don't.'' We'll throw a flat iron wave in it, so you don't have to leave with it straight and you can see it with some movement.. Okay, Are you excited to see your new hair? I can't wait. Wonderful.. Oh my gosh. Wait., I love this.. I love these bangs so much.. I love how the red the berry, color sort of comes through in the bangs too.. When I first came in, I was really really set on the rose gold look, but I would rather have healthy hair than breakage, and I love this deep berry like almost eggplant color., And I love these bangs so much they're incredible.. Thank you so much for watching.. If you have any Hair Me Out, ideas comment down below. To subscribe to Refinery29 click here. To watch more videos; click here,
Comments
Refinery29: Have you ever had bangs before? Share your hair cutting experiences with us below!
Yente: finally a stylist who cares about the health of the clients hair and is realistic about her options on here
Gemini_Mutha: I'm honestly shocked how professional and caring the hair stylist was about her hair.
Finnick Hazel: I love the bangs on her! And I love the fact that the hairdresser straight up told her she couldn't go lighter. I've had friends who had their hair DESTROYED by "professionals" because they wanted a result that simply wasn't doable with their hair and it's nice to see someone say the right thing. Not everything is possible on everyone when the hair has already gone through chemical treatments and I wish more hairdressers were honest about that.
Vaincobain: I wish her mom hadn’t been straightening her hair since she was little so she could be confident with her natural hair and not have to relax her hair so then she could bleach it ‼️
Anya Nichole: She looked so disappointed when she finished the color
Spirulina Zarella: I love how the stylist actually cared about her hair
Aimee Tambwe: The title should've been "I dyed my scalp purple and got bangs"
Miss Honey Never Came: It lookes lovely but she needs to stop straightening her hair all the time.
SoTweetie: That must have been a big disappointment, but I love how a bunch of individual strands have such a popping red tone. It turned out really pretty!
kris b: props to the stylist for testing out bleach on her relaxed hair first
Alexandra Adams: So happy that the stylist tested her strands before dying it! Her hair would have 100% fallen out.
Kermit Lover: Looking at her before pictures, it seems like her mother never learned how to properly do kinky/curly hair and straightening it was just a cop out. And, now she doesn’t either as an adult
Lea Bee: Girl go natural I’m sure your hair is beautifully curly just embrace it
Brianda: Glad they included that piece of tested hair photage never seen any other videos do that
Rachel Hodge: Makes me sad when people’s parents prefer straightening (perms etc), instead of promoting curls! I’m biracial and both my parents, both races, always said my natural hair was perfect!
Samira R: She was dissappointed about the colour but I love how they cheered her up with giving her that haircut. It really suits her!
Salve Aguirre: When she found out she can't do her desired hair color , She kinda looked teary-eyed but in the end she loved it so much.
Lindsey Christensen: Has anyone else noticed how every girl talks about their mom? How their mom has influenced what their hair has been in the past?
cmadii_: I think this purple hair looks stunning and is a great match for her skin tone!
Erica Ervin: She has long thick hair for someone who relaxes it often and by themselves. I’m not a fan of the bangs but love the subtle color transformation.
Chris: If her hair was natural it would have been strong enough to colour the way she wanted.
L: Even though the color is subtle, it looks so good and catches the light really well. I think it’s kind of a perfect baby step into hair dyeing since she said she’s never done it before, also super happy that the stylist did a strand test.
XXbiz: Love this hair me out series, wasn’t sure if this look was gonna be good, but she looks cute!!
Jamie Rocke: I usually love the afters in this series, but I must be colour blind because that looks like red to me... and I think because of her face shape, a fringe doesn't really complement her. It's not awful, but I think they could have come up with a better alternative.
Wes Bradshaw: Come thru bangs! Definitely framed her face perfectly! Looks vibrant as well... Amazing what a hair change can do for ya or make ya feel!
Kelsey Van Ert: I’m mixed and I’m so glad my mom learned how to do my hair. It actually gave me special memories of her... a non black woman... braiding and twisting my hair for picture day. It’s important to learn how to do your black child’s hair or take them to a black salon. Which my mom also did as a treat!
geeklette99: Awe she seemed so disappointed when she saw the finished colour but I'm so glad they gave her bangs! Really brought the whole look together
KeyAppeal: These hairstylist were absolutely amazing! I am extremely impressed ❤️
Bear J: Since the girl told her she couldn't bleach her hair she looked upset.. well at the end she really looked happy with the results!
hope: I really appreciate the stylist taking her time to do the test strip
Nena: Rose gold balayage but title says purple? Edit: I seen the stylist test her hair and what a professional she is, every stylist should do that.
iheartigloos: I love your confidence and smile! I imagine you have your reasons for choosing to relax your hair....I just wanted to tell you that I think you would look equally beautiful with curls as well. Love the cut and color and that you were open to try something different than you had planned.
rockmanticgurl: She wanted to bleach relaxed hair?? Hmmm
KB: the bangs look so gorgeous on you!! And perfect colour esp for the Holidays. You look stunning!!
Hafsa: This is the first video where I think the "before" looked better than the "after"
Beatrice Bee: Amazing how a little bang can change the way you look. Her hair looked so pretty and healthy at the end.
lifeisablessing: I love the end result! She looks so much younger.
RedHairedRiot: I’ve never had good highlights done in my life in a salon, Refinery29. Would love to see someone get them done right
Sevi Regis: It came out beautiful and was definitely the right decision to keep your hair healthy
Jenni Curran: I would like to see somebody with blonde hair change it to a dark color!
izumi mei: I actually thought the colour looks great and if she continues dying it the same it will get more vibrant, I think the red is much edgier than the rose gold she wanted and with straight or frizzy hair that will look awesome!!
Ari Tyson: She looks so sweet with the bangs! This was my favorite episode so far and the stylist was awesome! I'm glad she knew what she was doing with diverse hair types.
Apostolia: Gorgeous change!!!!!!!! keep it as long as you wish, they look great on your face!✨
C M: Thank God for a stylist who's realistic! I wish they'd gone out to show this color in natural light, but she looks super cute after.
Slashed Beauty: This looks SO good on her!!!
Rimjim Borah: The stylists here are so careful with their clients hair and it seems like they really do care about the hair. At my place the stylists while washing and combing pull my hair as if they've sworn to make me bald.
hang1iderswing: I think the hint of red is actually pretty cool once she has the face shaping pieces
Farrah Q: Once I went into a hair salon wanting the ombre effect as well, she told me i couldn't do highlights because my hair was too damaged so instead she ended up bleaching me whole head which was 10 times more damaging. Moral of the story is I will never go to a hair salon every again. Girls, do it yourself and do your research lol.
Karina Candelario: I think if she let her hair grow natural it would look really beautiful
K. Rich: I love her hair and the fact that the stylist was knowledgeable enough abt black hair and relaxers to know it wasn't a good idea.
Triona Byrne: Rebecca! The hair color and the style looks Stunning!
Natt Jett: She's rocking those bangssss!!!! Love it
M SC: I was so nervous for you! I’m glad it turned out well
cocola chulisnaqui: the slight hint of color they ended up with still looks really nice! at least they found a good alternative to damaging her hair.
Dianne: Cute. Her smile is beautiful and her eyes are sparkling ❤️ GO GIRL!!~
Teodora Savova: The haircut and the color give her such french look! She's amazing!
Girl with Drive: This makes me miss bangs! It looks really good.
Michael Scott: “I got bangs and dyed my hair purple” ok but that is like every teenage girl meltdown.
KXO: FINALLY you guys show a situation where the client had unrealistic expectations and had to face the consequences of that!
Roshawnna Gordon: The stylist is great and actually cares. I’ve always been told never to relax and dye hair. It’s not good for the hair.
Afreen Nasseer: omy gosh i just got bangs yesterday and i love it !!!
Kitty Kat: She looked actually better before
Noir Fit: I like it. Personally I like a more subtle color look. I’m glad the stylist cared about the health of her hair
subi subi: Now that's a transformation! The bangs NEEDED HER. I love the color too!
Tori Uptown: i’d Love to see more stylists that work with textured hair when you have women with textured hair.
ña na: That colorist saved her hair, even if she was very disappointed at the result, at least she still has hair. But those bangs look horrible! Like kindergarten bangs... and it will be a nightmare to style every single day with her hair texture.
Arose: Love end result! For people saying she dyed her scalp, it washes out of the scalp after a couple washes who cares
Aleia work: that looks so amazing!
m0ach8: I think she should go natural one day, I can picture her with really beautiful curls!! But when she ever gains the confidence for that cuz I don’t think she’s willing to do that anything soon...
Sole Gonz: Applause Applause- that was a good cut & the pop of color was sharp- I bet it looked even better in real life. Red is her color & the bangs frame her face so well. This is more unique than rose
BabiBritt88: I’m so happy her stylist didn’t lighten her relaxed hair!
nope.: God bless how professional the stylist is
GLCarmine: Looks really good - you look adorable!!! If only there was an at home hair dye that color!!
K Mckie: Once I saw her I already knew she wasn't bleaching her hair, let it be known to ALL girls with relaxers you CANNOT bleach your hair after relaxing it, especially if it was within the past month.
Jenny S.: Aww! I think maybe she should have just concentrated on getting it healthier to eventually go for the color she really wanted. The important thing though, is that she has a GREAT personality which makes her look beautiful no matter what!
Aimee Storrs: She highkey could do a low blonde fade. That would be fire she’s got the face.
Elisabeth Charlotte Monstrey: Love the color, bingewatching the entire channel atm and loving everything.
Jemma J: She looked so beautiful with bangs, glad they didnt fry her hair
Danielle Marais: she literally has the most beautiful clear skin.
Piper Halliwell: This reminds me of Nappily Ever After on Netflix. In the movie her mom has always made her hair straight with a relaxer since she was a kid to all the way into her 30s. Until someone goes wrong at a hair salon and she is forced to cut it all off. (I highly recommend for anyone struggling with their natural hair identity.)
Justin Reynolds: I love that the stylist chose not to use bleach on this client, but pulp riot needs to be applied on prelightened hair levels 6-10. She could have lightened the hair with haircolor since she didn't have any previous dye on her hair and then overlayed the direct dye. The color would have popped a lot more.
Shay IamIam: She looks great !!
Rivers Veazey: "2020 is a new decade and ill be ready for it" GIRL YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA
Octavia Mcburrows: Glad the stylist did a strain test and let her know that she couldn't do it and showed her the damage it would cause her hair. An doesn't she know that you're not supposed to get color so soon after hair has been relaxed
Annalycia Matthews: if she likes her hair straight then I don’t see the problem. people should stop trying to tell others what to do with their hair, not everyone is about wearing their hair naturally curly, and that’s okay! She looks great imo. The color is a fun and subtle enhancement!
Tee Jay: Hello Refinery29.. I'm Hairing Rebecca out... The subtle color gives the most definition ..bangs frame Rebecca's face perfectly.. Sincerely Tanja❄️
Neptunian Mystic: The color blends do nicely with her undertone, big fan of this one
Sisse: Why were her mother was so fixated on straightning her hair? She's teaching her daughter that her natural hair is ugly and that she shouldn't be confident about it. Honestly....
mstarr09: She looks so good!!!
Kayla H: I’ve literally never seen a stylist do a strand test but thank god she did.
Regan Butler: always love these videos!!!
mel: At least the stylist did a test strand which is very professional
TheeArlenzo: Is it possible for a person to make a wig out of their own hair? I'm in the process of growing out my own hair long enough to make a wig for my mom that has breast cancer. I actually prefer my hair short/ medium length so this would be an amazing for both of us!
manusia pendosa: The style of hair so lovely
Donara B.: Rebecca is so confident! I love it
Free Range: I have a question for all the hair stylist and colorist out there: I have dark brown curly hair it's been colored once when I was in highschool & I'm now in my 30's. I would love to get a color and maybe a cut for spring. Any suggestions? Also I can't afford any high end salon so it's either I have to do it at home or find someplace decent but cheaper Btw I'm in Ohio
J W: I love how the dye turned out. Especially the strands of straight berry, how does that happen? Where they grey before?
