How I Took My Ponytail Wig From Dark Brown To Blonde

Hey yeah all its way, coholic um. I have been asked if I would share how I had done something. So that's what this video is about. I started out with a really dark Pony, fall pony tail wag, I'm sorry sports Connie that I had purchased. I purchased it use and it was a dark brown and I wanted to be more in the blond family, so I'm not sure how well you're gon na be able to see it, but this is the before pictures. The dark darkness. This one here is when I did the process the first time and then this one is, and you will see the finished product the second time, so let me first say that I am in no way. Oh first, let me tell you about this. This I've got a facial mask on and it's an attempts to keep me from being on here more than the amount of time before my face cracks so the first time I did it, I did not do it the correct way. I watched somebody else on YouTube and I thought oh well. They really know what they're doing well, they weren't doing a pony wave and what they did did not work the same way for me. So basically, what they did was laid on the on garbage sacks and paint bleach on and rinse it out, and then they threw the toner on and oh it just it looked like it was gon na be fast and it went. I had spots that didn't bleach. The toner didn't take like hers, did it just it wasn't pretty. For me it wasn't pretty other people thought the colors were pretty, but I guess I'm a little bit of a perfectionist in that. So after the second process, this is the color I caught she's a very golden blonde right now I am gon na put another ash toner on her. Probably we only left it on for about 10 minutes because you know she's been processed twice and we wanted to make sure she didn't get overly damaged. So someone asked me in a group how I got to this and asked me to share the products that I used. No way am i a cosmetologist, don't have a license, never went to school trial and error is how I learned do not do not try this at home if you are in any way unsure of what you're doing or if you are in any way, fearful of Completely losing the hair unit. You have human hair. Only that human hear me only die human hair suggest you only die human hair. If you do it at all, um best of all go to our professional. Have them. Do it save yourself a lot of headaches. Um me, I've been dying, my hair, my daughter's hair for many many years. I have done streaks. I'Ve done my own highlights, so I was pretty confident, but it did take a while. I will tell you first of all here are the things that you're gon na need. I have a tripod. I purchased this to hold my wig stands. This is what works the best for me, this is a cork filled, canvas wig head. I did not use it like this. I covered it in plastic. Do not use styrofoam, because when it gets wet it will mold, don't do it. It'S not gon na smell. Pretty it's not gon na make your wig smell, pretty cover it with plastic. Put your wig on it, that's what I did secure it with a pin. So excuse me: I dropped her on the floor and she wasn't happy um plastic on the floor, underneath the whole area masking tape. Like my broken nail yeah, I did that at work today. Masking tape to secure it to the floor, you can also use it to secure the plastic to the mannequin head. Then the products I used, Oh two seconds. I have to grab the one product gold standard here - okay, so I am not paid for, nor am i endorsed by any of these companies. These are strictly things that I researched the first time I did use a different product. I used blonde me which lifts up to nine levels. I did feel that it was more damaging personally for me, maybe that's because I feel it maybe developed a little faster just for me, the second product I used. I liked it a lot better and I think that's probably what I'll stick with so. First of all, let's do the equipment. This is a balázs board, use this Voyles Rhett tooth comb to section off pieces of the hair, my little plastic measuring cup. For my developer clips use. You can use a plastic container that you have at home. It'S completely up to you. It will be clean, though, because you know it has bleach in a brush that you like, or you can use a purchase container from your beauty supply house very important gloves what I'm gon na stress about these, the black ones for me were awesome. I had some of the white ones too they're going in the trash because they got sticky and I could feel the bleach coming through onto my hands didn't feel good kind of stuff. That being said, we'll get into the products the bleach I used was Agora, migrants and I used the 30 volume developer that goes with it. These are both made by Schwarzkopf. So, along with this, I used this new line olaplex. I used two steps, one and two this time I will be using step three tonight. I can't say enough about this product. So basically what you do with this, your bleach. It is one scoop too. So if you've got one ounce in here, you did two ounces. In here of your developer, they go in the bowl mix them up for every one scoop, developer 1/8 of the olaplex will go in to that after you've, already mixed the developer and the bleach together. Now. For me, I like to have the consistency of a little thinner than Cool Whip. I don't like it watery, but I don't like it thick the thicker. It is the faster it develops and the the wetter it stays the longer it's gon na work. So that's why I use the foils. I think those are the things I wanted to cover over that so like in I sectioned her off into five sections. I'M sorry make that four I probably could have done five. I had to use three scoops of this and then six ounces of this, so with three scoops I did one eight three times on the little gauge. That'S here now this comes with the lid on it. This comes with it in the kit and you just squeeze it, and it will go up to that one cave line after you bleach and developers to the consistency you want it, because this will thin it out a little bit, and I will also tell you that It does weaken the potency slightly for the peroxide, so if you're using a normally used 20, you might need to use a thirty once again at your own risk so mix this up. This is a blue powder. I'M sorry this one isn't this one is a white powder. I was thinking of the other line that I used. The blonde me was what I used the first time and that was blue, so mix that all up then I took my trusty foil. She was sectioned off now what I like to do, because it's wefted it kind of you - can use that kind of as a guide. So, if you take probably it maybe a two-inch section after you've, sectioned your hair off into the four piece of four areas. You start with an area, so that would be a section for me for my first boil, maybe a little less yeah. That'S what you use the rat tooth comb for to slice in there and get that piece that you're going to use on your boil. So I like to use this board when I'm doing the bleaching one of the other things I want to tell you is because this bleach that one as well lifts that one lifts up to eight levels. My girlfriend and I were watching it and we decided after we did the first two sections that we had. Let it set enough - and it was to the level that we needed to take it out before it started, to damage the hair or before we thought it was going to damage the hair. So we rinsed it out, and then we did this, which is number two. You, after you've, rinsed out with water, which the bleach out of that section. You apply this to that whole area. Let it set for three to five minutes: rinse it out with warm water if you need to or want to which I do wash with a purple. Shampoo or a blue shampoo, whichever you need to get the tones, if you don't want the brassiness or the redness, you would use or orange anise. You would use a purple for the orange and I think it's blue for the brass. I'M thinking, please don't quote me, don't take my word. It'S gold, I'm not an expert. So I take my foils. I bend over just the top part and I personally will take the brush. I will dip it in the bleach. I will swipe on here with the bleach before I lay the hair on it number one. It helps the hair to secure to it number two. I am assured, then, that I have gotten some bleach on the back underneath of that hair, there's nothing worse than opening up a foil and finding out that none of the bleach got on the back side of the hair and the front sides developed and the back Side isn't, then you got ta wait longer, which makes your hair stay in a process longer which can cause more damage so put that section on go over it. Put that section on after I put that bleach on cover it off, make sure it's all good. Then they put the board down. I'M sorry, it's a little hard to do when you're not actually doing it. I fold in fold in and I would have done it a little wider or if you have a bigger section, and you want to make sure that it's sealed good, you could always take another foil over the top of the one you did and seal it. That way, so, once it's sealed there clip it down here and fold it up. What happens is when it's in here it tends to get warmer and it activates. It keeps it moist and it causes the bleach to process quicker, especially if you're using a thinner bleach. You use a thinner bleach and you leave it out. It'S gon na take longer because it's not gon na be warm. If you were doing bleach on a human head, you would always always want to start at the tips when you're, applying the bleach and move up to the scalp, because there's going to be heat from the scalp which is going to cause it to activate. And you don't want to activate on your own hair at the roots before you start doing the rest of it and then have it fright all your words just a word from experience. I'Ve done it so we did that, like I said we watched it rinsed it out the first section. Then we applied it to the second section, took about the same amount of time, and then we rinse that out did the part too again. The olaplex part too, and wash with the blue shampoo after that I used toners. I do not have another box of the other toner. I use. I actually combined two thinking. We were actually my girlfriend and I were disagreeing. She thought I should go with the lighter one. I wanted to go with the darker one, so he compromised and mixed them together. Needless to say, it looks probably lighter than I would have wanted it. I would have wanted it more beige, so I am going to tone it again. This is Ella Keller, charm t35. That is the darker one, that is the beige and then the other one was the T 15, which was the pale beige blonde yeah pale blable pale, beige blood, you mix it with equal parts, so I did. I actually use both bottles and I think these are 1.4. I eyeballed it an easier way to do i ball and not to ball. It is to use the bottle itself once you've dumped the color in you can fill the bottle up with your developer and then dump it into the toner. Toners are great, you can use them. You know throughout if you're doing your own hair or if i'm doing this and it starts to get a little oxidized. I can just add another toner right this when you mix it with the developer, and this is 20 volume. 20. I don't know if I stated it before, but on the bleach I used a 30 volume. I will not go above a 30. Never ever ever will I go above a 30, and I would not probably even do that ever again without this baby, because what it does is it it actually can make your hair come out in better condition than before you used it. It'S got bonders in there go online watch the videos see what it's about make your own decision, but I will not bleach hair again without it, and you can add this to color too so equal parts. It gets to be like a jelly consistency. Um smear it on and we only left it ten minutes, I'm thinking, that's probably why I didn't get the color. I wanted probably should have gone 20, but you know once again when you're working with bleach and you're running the gamut, whether you overprocess the hair and you damage it and it breaks off. Or you know you get a lot of shedding it's it's trial and error. But those are the products I used. If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments.
