I haven't put any dye in my hair in over 20 years and today I'm going to be bleaching, it silver white.. My name is Steve Doss and I'm transforming my hair into a Tan France, silver fox.. Before you see my hair transformation subscribe below., While my sideburns and the tops of my hair are starting to turn a little silver and gray I'm having such fun. While looking at celebrities like Tan France J. Lo's, hairstylist Chris Appleton, Zac Efron did it earlier this summer.. I really want this fun pop of silver hair, because it's so hot right now.. So when I bleached my hair in high school, I had this kind of crazy experience with it.. It ended up turning a different, color. Sort of scarred me and I wasn't really ready to do that to my hair again., Although in the early 2000s I did tip my hair, this kind of flaming red color, a la NSYNC. And now because people are doing their Hair in these most extreme colors - and it looks so vibrant and so beautiful and so wild. I'M like it's time., It's time for me to get that sneak peak of that zaddy. Look that I'm going to be having in the coming years.! So I'm ready for it. To me. Nothing is more sexy than seeing a man who has a beautiful head of hair, that's salt and pepper or silver.. I mean embrace your age. Now we're living in a time that people can sort of be their natural selves and just let their hair be any color. They want. Hi there, I'm Lauren., Hey Lauren, I'm Steve., It's so nice to meet you. Great to meet you.. My name is Lauren Paglionico and I am a hair colorist at Studio 522 and my specialty is blondes.. So have you ever colored your hair before It's been about 20 years or so.? Oh good., So it's been a minute., So we're really ready for the transition.. I'M not going to lie I'm a little nervous. Okay.. What are you nervous about This intense burning of the scalp that I've heard so many brunettes tell me about who have bleached their hair.? Can you coach me on that Completely normal. Itchy burny is normal.. If you feel like you're on fire, not normal, okay, Okay, very good., So just keep me posted throughout., Definitely. Fire-like burning. I will certainly let you know. Yes., Okay great.. Let'S get started For Steve today, we did a global application, which is when you apply bleach to the roots and end. With Steve. We started on his ends first and then applied it to his scalp.. The reason we did this is so that we can get Steve's hair as light as possible.. We want to go through all the colors of red orange, yellow and get to a pale yellow., And once we get there, that's when we can apply a gloss. That'S going to give it that overall, platinum, gray, tone. Growing up everyone in my family. Has this beautiful, dark hair.! You know my mom's side is Mexican. My dad's side is Japanese., So we've kind of had this like rich, dark chocolate, jet black hair. And I'm curious. What my family's going to think when they see that my hair is completely white.. My boyfriend Barry is a little .... No he's not indifferent about it. He's actually kind of anti-this. He's like ``. Why would you want to do that? You have beautiful, dark, hair.'' And I'm like ``, Because I want to get the sneak peek.''. So I'm really excited to let him know and let him see what this final look is.. It'S a little tender. Okay., Where Back here. Okay.. Maybe that's because you were just in there. Yeah., Oh she's cold.. This feels awesome. Like what am I going to wear to work tomorrow with my new fun hair. How are you doing I'm good yeah.? You are Yeah, it doesn't sting it all.. Oh good., Yeah.! Wait until you see it., Okay, Steve, so I'm gon na actually pour some milk on your head now.. I know that sounds weird. Yeah., But the milk is going to soothe your scalp after we've had the bleach and the toners on. So it's going to really calm everything down and close the cuticle., Oh my god., I know. Steve's color overall took three hours.. This is generally a very short amount of time, and that's because he had short hair and also he has virgin hair, which is very important when you're doing this process.. The reason it is important is because when you have old color on your ends, it's very difficult to lift it out.. Sometimes it's not possible at all.. So if you have virgin hair you're ahead of the game. Here, we go. Oh my god., I feel like I have a really amazing wig on right. Now.. Do you love it? Oh, I love it.. It'S perfect. From here I'm going to go and Nicolette will be over to cut and style your hair. Awesome. Thanks., Hello, I'm Nicolette., I'm Steve.! Nice to meet you. It's great to meet you.. I am dying over this new .... This looks awesome.. I love it., It's so fun right, So we're going to do the cut. And we're going to kind of just trim it up and finish it up, make it even more great than it already is. Love it.. Let'S do it., I'm all about a transformation.. Do you do whatever you want to yourself? Whatever is going to make you feel special., My hair has been this color for so long.. I can't wait to put this color in it because I know I'm going to feel sexy and I'm going to feel even more confident. And it's just a new look.. It'S a new change. And hey. If I don't like it, I can always dye it. Back.. You ready We're ready., It looks awesome. Oh my god., I feel so good about this new. Look that I have. I didn't know what to expect. Looks like you were born this way.. I'M like. I can't even remember what I looked like with dark: hair., Perfect, Lauren and Nicolette were incredible today. They made me feel so safe and at ease when I was nervous - and they really talked me through this - and let me know that everything was gon na be great.. I was concerned about these horrible burns and welts in my scalp.. Well, I don't have any kind of burning sensation., It feels so natural and it still is like the shape of my hair and the natural curl.. So this might stick around., Maybe fun in the summer. We'Ll see. Mother. Hi. Are you ready, I'm ready. Okay.? Oh my gosh Look at it.. Actually I like it., It's cool right. I like it yeah It's nice.. Do I look young and fun? You look young, but you always look young and fun.. I love you Mom.! You look so cute, It's good right. I, like it. I'll, call you later., I love you. Love, you too. Bye., I think Steve's hair looks incredible., It complements his eyes and his skin tone. It's very youthful on him, and it just gives him an overall glow.. It'S perfect., You guys killed it. Thank you.. My one. Take away from this experience would be to start thinking a little bit more outside the box.. It'S a new year.. It'S a new me., I'm blonde., I'm blonde.. I can't wait to see if blondes really do have more fun, So we're so fortunate to have a little dressing room area here in our hair and makeup studio., Where we try on all kinds of different fashions. Here, come check it out.. Excuse me: I'm just checking out my ... Shut, your face, NO You're, my hair-spiration. I know Thanks so much. Oh, my god, Your hair is better than mine. Can we critique you real, quick? Oh, yes, 100 %. Your t-shirt is so nice. Your pants are lovely.. Wait! A second- You know, I love a white sock with a white sneaker. And your hair's gorg Tan.
