Dark Brown To Red Hair... At Home!!

Yeah all right, it's happening, hi guys welcome back to my channel, so today we're doing something a little different. We are coloring our hair red, as you guys have noticed. I took my extensions out. You guys know I had hair down to my waist. It was beautiful. It was balayage, she was like hair goals, okay, but I was bored. I got very bored, so I had Austin. He took some pliers took those babies out. I then cut my hair into this sole angled cute moment, and then I colored my hair, my root color. All the way down - and it's been fun for the four days that I've had it, but I'm over it. Okay, I need change. I need something fun you guys. This is why I'm not allowed to not have extensions, because whenever I have extensions in I'm like okay, this hair was a lot of money. I can't touch it whenever I don't have extensions. It'S bad like it's bad, I get so bored. I just want to change it all the time. So that's you know what we're doing today and hopefully we're gon na go from this dark level-3 brunette to a really pretty vibrant red. So if you guys want to see how we're going to achieve this, if you guys want to see if we're going to achieve this um, you know please keep watching okay. So before starting out I'm not a professional. I have like professional knowledge. I did go to hair school. I actually did really well in hair school, but after I got out, I was just over it. I didn't want to do it anymore. I main reasoning for going cosmetology school is because I wanted to be a makeup artist, so I never got my license to be a hairstylist. I'Ve never been in a salon. I do my friends and family's hair. Do what I know and that's it hopefully gon na, be like a little better than just someone just like do it yourself and hopefully I'll be able to give you guys some little tips and tricks. I think I have about like 80 % faith that this is gon na turn out, but then there's like that 20 % or I'm just like this - could go really bad really fast. Now I know if you guys have ever been interested and coloring your hair right at home. You have heard of these products. This is the l'oreal high color and l'oreal high color highlights these are horrible for your hair, okay, nine times out of ten. You have to do it like two to three times in order to get the color that you want, because your roots are always gon na pull you're gon na have a band in the middle like it's just not a good situation. B'S dyes claim that you don't have to pre lighten your hair because there is Lightner within this product, even though they're terrible for your hair to me, it's a it's just hair. I wish I cared more about my hair, but I don't my mom and Brad. Mondo are screaming right now like screaming, because both of them hate right hair. This is gon na go to waste. It'S either gon na be perfect. I'M gon na be so happy um or I'm gon na end up on one of Brad Mondo's videos with the hair fail, I mean either way is a win. Okay either way. So I haven't decided on the exact formula that we're gon na be doing, but I am gon na go ahead and start with lightening our hair, so we're gon na be using the color charm, we'll a bleach and again all the products that are using today. I got it Sally's that I'm not suggesting that you guys do this. Okay, we'll always always always say, go to a professional. I know I'm being hypocrite right now. I like doing my hair myself whenever it's short and I don't have extensions and then, whenever I'm over it I'll go to a professional and then they can just like do me up like do me right, but for now I just I just want to do it. I want change. We are going in with the Wella Color charm bleach. We are going to be taking that with 30 developer. If you are following this tutorial and if you are planning on doing this yourself, please please be careful. Okay, wait of those words I feel like isn't strong enough when you're using 30 developer with bleach and you're not experienced with bleach. You have a very high probability of your ends: breaking off and stringy like stretchy, bubblegum, you're going red. You don't need your hair to be this bright blonde. Okay, if your hair is orange and brassy, that's okay, because you're going a warmer color that warmth and that brassiness it's gon na help you when you're going into that red color. Just keep that in mind. Please be careful and please be mindful, and please do your research before you guys just go in slap bleach on your hair. We have our foils, you need foils. If you want your hair to list as evenly as possible, I'm getting a little nervous we're, starting with the front portion of her hair. We'Re gon na take fairly thin sections, the bigger sections that you guys take the more chance that you have a bit getting patchy. Not getting all of the hair within the bleach, so we're gon na start pretty thin and I'm just going to lay a foil underneath just like this we're just going to start about here and I want a pretty low root. So I'm just going to feather this up, so then you want to a fully saturate your ends. Okay, so just flip that baby up, you want this to be white, like you want this to look like toothpaste. If this just not look completely covered, your hair is not gon na list and it's gon na be a bad situation, making sure that everything is nice saturated and then we're just doing a slight little feather at the top just so we don't have any harsh lines Going from that very dark route to this, so I'm just going to fold. I don't want to fold the feather pieces. You'Re gon na go ahead and fold it and then this part doesn't have any bleach on it. So then you're gon na fold it all the way up. You can just flip that up and move on to the next, so I'm gon na go ahead and work my way around my head, and then I will show you guys how I'm going to do the back oils are in I'm going to check these over here. We'Re definitely lifting I'm definitely gon na have to wash this out before, like the whole back is done, because I don't need this that light. I only need this to get to about a level 6 and surprisingly we're. Basically, there do you guys see that okay, so I am honestly, I'm probably gon na give this side of my head about 5 more minutes and then we're just going to wash it out ciao we're going to do the back kind of worried about doing the back Myself, but like the rest of this video we're just gon na wing it I'm gon na, go ahead and just split my hair down the back section it off. I'M going to take my little clip clip the right side of my hair off, so we're only working with the left side of my hair right now. We'Re just gon na take a slice just like we did with the front of my hair. So we have a thin piece. I think that's the best way to do it is just bring your hair forward and I'll lay the foils flat on your head. That way, you guys can see exactly what you're doing that means you're working with the underneath portion of your hair, so make sure you pull it forward and make sure you're getting it completely saturated before you go in with the foil again. This is just to ensure that you're getting the hair completely covered because we don't want any spots, don't want any disasters happening and then go back through and fully saturate it. Our foils, lay it flat and blends, don't really the same there because they are finished. So I'm going to go ahead, rent these out and then come back and finish the rest of my head. Okay guys, so I went ahead and washed out all the bleach. It looked really good and I'm so excited I'm now going in with the Coco and Eve like a virgin, coconut and fake hair mask, i shampooed the bleach out, and then I went ahead and just pop this. On my end, I just want to make sure we're keeping our ends. Nice and moisturize because, like I said, I do feel like I'm gon na end up using the real good color highlights my friend Molly's gon na murder me, but that's just the best. Color definitely want to make sure my ends are staying it nice and moisturized, because that dye is a little little harsh on your hair. So I'm gon na go ahead. Let this mass sit in my hair for about ten to fifteen minutes and then we'll pop back on and do the red you guys my friend mullet. She texts me said you're a bad influence because she is now doing her hair as well. So ever you guys see my reveal at the end. Maybe we will be able to get a reveal of Molly's hair. Okay, you guys we are back we're looking a little warm, a little brassy if you guys can see here. This is my extension. I forgot to let the extension sit a little longer on this side. I just washed it out with the rest of my hair. Where is everywhere else? I left the extension on just a little bit longer and we got more of an even tone. I decided to bleach one of my extensions I washed out once I got to this level and then I just put the plain red hot. On top just to see what would happen if we only had to do one process, it's not cute. Do you guys can see the difference this one over here just looks like it's washed out and just not cute, whereas this one, it's just red velvet, goodness I don't know, I think I'm gon na do two processes. I know it's gon na feel a little less than perfect. After doing two processes of the l'oreal high color highlights, but you know you do what you got to do it. You know I'm saying I'm gon na go ahead and go in with the high color highlights. Just in the shade red, so whole tube is one and a half ounces, so I'm just gon na take my little measuring cup and we're gon na do 30 volume. I feel like that's a mistake, I'm feel like I should do 20 volume we're gon na. Do 30, then, I'm also taking a little whisk and I'm stirring it over. You guys are mixing your red hair color, try and use a whisk, because the particles and molecules all that jazz are so big that it's chunky and you want to make sure that you get this completely mixed and do a super smooth consistency before you go in And pop it on your head, also, if you're doing this in your bathroom Dexter, that is up like cover that stuff and saran wrap everywhere, because this red color, if it gets on anything, it's done for it like it's stained, I'm doing on my apartment floor carpet. I'M just gon na go in section by section you have that completely saturated, I'm just going to flip it and then we're gon na move on to the next section. Again, you guys just like the bleach. You want to take smaller sections, the thicker sections that you take the harder it is to ensure that you're getting every single strand going to continue to work all the way around my head with the shade red and then, whenever I'm finished, I will pop back on. Will wash it out and then we'll go in with the red hot shade? So now we wait 30 minutes. This is over it. This is so bright. We'Re gon na be putting a darker right. On top of it. I'M talking myself up right now. Cuz, that's gon! Na be fine, if it's horrible, we will adjust our plan accordingly, you guys is Ronald McDonald, red and look it got on my fruit right here and the contrast between my root and right is so like. The contrast is so high that look at that. That'S that's! Not gon na do think. I'M gon na give my hair a little bit of a break tonight, but tomorrow I think I'm gon na go in with a root, color and kind of blend, all this out and then go in with Fred hot, with a ten developer. So that we're only depositing and just darken and tone this down just a little bit, but we're definitely Fred. We we definitely achieved the red. So if Ronald McDonald red is what you were going for, um you're welcome. Okay, so the last time you guys saw my hair, it was like Ronald McDonald, bright Fred, and I said I was gon na wait until the next day to do my hair, but I was wasting my bacon, so I went ahead and did it. This is the color I am so freakin happy with how it turned out. I filmed this process getting to this level and I went back to look at the footage and it wasn't there because I never hit record fine. So I'm gon na go ahead and tell you guys what I did show you guys the products that I use so in the Sun. It is it's a little on the bright side um. It definitely has some like pink reflex in it, which I'm not a fan of, don't like the pinky red I, like more of like the orange II rides, so I'm gon na see how this fades. Whatever I go back to refresh my color, I'm not gon na be using the Loreal hi color color, that's just too harsh, but I am obsessed with how it turned out. I went back in I'll. Show you guys the product that I use, but I just did my route and I feathered it down all the way around just to get rid of that harsh route line and then where the red was, and I think it turned out so freakin good, you guys. I am so set, so let me go ahead and go over the products that what you guys know exactly what I did to get this red, how we did the route color. This is the aged, beautiful color and the shade for our our. He also took the aged beautiful in the shade of three and in I did one ounce of the 4rr and half an ounce of the three in in now. If you really just want an intense deep red route, the 4rr will get you there. You don't to add the 3 and n. I did not want an intense red root and this alone kind of gives me more of like an RV vibe. So it definitely gives more of like a red, violet kind of tone, and that was not what we were going for. So I went ahead and did half an ounce of the 3, and - and that is what gave us this really nice deep root. And then you can see the reflex of red whenever you're outside, but other than that it just gives you a really nice dark root that blends into your red. Now, while I had that color sitting on my roots, I did go in the Loreal high color Red's. In the shade red hot again, this is not high. Color highlights it's just high color. Now this is to pair this color with 30 developer. My hair had been through it. I did not feel comfortable putting 30 developer back on my hair and I didn't need any extra lift. That red was light enough bright enough, so I went ahead and paired it with 20 volume. I was gon na do 10 volume, because 20 volume does still give you a good amount of lift, but I was afraid that it wasn't gon na give me as much of a vibrant color that I got with the test strand on my extension. So I did end up doing 20 developer and then I just went strand by strand and then once I got to the part of where my root color was. It took my fingers and I just blended the two shades together and slowly blended it down, and that is what gave us this really nice blend between the red and the root color, I'm a huge, huge fan of dimension. If you guys do this color, I highly suggest doing the dark root. Obviously this is nowhere near a natural color. You do want to make a look as natural and, like you got it done at a salon as much as possible, so adding that dark root and just adding a little bit of dimension back in your hair is gon na make it look more professional. It'S not gon na make it look as flat, just really pretty to have that dark base go into this deep red velvet red, but that is it you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed if you guys do attempt to do this color, please. Let me know please tag me like. I said, I'm not suggesting that you do this at home because it does involve Lightner. Lightner can be very scary, doing it by yourself. You could burn your hair off. It just turn into a huge disaster, and then it would cost even more money for your hair stylist to fix it. Then it would have been just to go to them to do it. But if you feel comfortable and if you like how this hair turned out and you do end up trying - it definitely tag me. Definitely let me know, but that is it you guys.
