Pro Hairdresser Tries 5-Minute Crafts Hair Hacks

Hi beautiful today we're watching some five minute crafts and if you have never seen the channel well you're in for a treat today, baby five-minute crafts is a mysterious place. For me, it's basically a channel that does like hacks and stuff and kind of makes the hack more complicated than the actual thing that they're trying to hack would have been. If you just did it correctly in the first place, that's my explanation: these hacks are not actually hacks they're, actually ways of making your life harder and boy do i love making my life harder than it needs to be. I do it all the time every day. It'S one of my favorite pastimes we're going to see what kind of hair hacks they have in store for us today and i will be trying all of them out for you. So what the [ __ ], let's hack, away together and see what, if i'm in a crafts house in store for us, let's do it i'm drinking matcha today, guys you know what that means ready for my [ __ ] today, all right so we're obviously on The channel five minutes across and we got this video called hairstyling and hair hacks to save your time and money. So we're going to see if this is going to save us time and money our first one up. I guess we got a trimming, your bangs, with a piece of paper, so let's check it out; okay, so she has bangs a lot of them. Okay, we do piece of paper and now we're trimming them on a line on a piece of paper yo. I hope that is not her real hair, i'm so sorry, but why is it a bowl cut attached to like long hair? I don't know if that's the best look for her. I guess we're gon na see if drawing a line on a piece of paper is gon na help us get a straighter line when we're trimming bangs all right. I got my client here for today and we got a piece of paper and we got a ruler and a sharpie we're going to draw a line on this. This makes no sense. How do i know like where to draw the line? Do i like mark it off? They didn't explain this part to me. I guess it'll be like i don't know like at her nose. How do i know the line's straight yeah a little more down all right, that's gon na be my line. I suppose - and this is supposed to be used to cut our bangs all right - let's section the bangs out really quick um should we do as much bang as this girl had like really really wide? No, i don't want miss minnie quinn to hate me. She will haunt me she will wake up at night and torture me, so i don't want to do that. Let me blow dry it all forward real quick. This girl already had her hair cut, so we're going to cut off a bit of bang just to see what we're doing um, or else it's going to be a little bit too difficult to get that paper under there. Oh no, we got some trimmers here and we're taking our piece of paper and we're putting it under the bangs okay, so she lifted it up, put it right there, maybe i'll, just clip this to each side. This is definitely crafty. Oh no um! It'S just not really working with the rounds of her head here - oh god, okay, oh, okay! Oh it's so hard to do both hold the paper and keep this i'm gon na. Tell you right now! This is gon na be a no. Are you ready for the reveal in three two one wait hold on hold on hold on hold on just kidding? It'S terrible i'd, say it's a little crooked. This was terrible that was so difficult, you're, better off just eyeballing it and going across like that. The paper thing it just is not gon na work, like you saw it on that video. They definitely pre-cut those bangs and then put the damn paper on there hell. No, this is not going to save your time and money unless you want bangs like this, like crooked bangs. Maybe it's your thing. I don't know girl also just really sorry miss management. I hope that one day you can forgive me all right. Get the [ __ ] out of here. Now we have a curling iron hack. This is apparently supposed to give you really great spiral curls and who doesn't want a good spiral: curl, okay, so she's taking a fork putting the hair in the fork wrapping it around. The fork heating it up with a flat iron and then releasing it and calling it a spiral curl. What is this? That'S, not a spiral. Curl, that's just completely offensive. If we're calling that a spiral curl now, i'm definitely gon na, try it. Maybe i can do it a little better than they did it um, but we'll see, oh hello, you must be my next client for today. I don't think it's going to go well, we'll try and do the best we can. What is this yeah? It'S a fork. We'Re going to use it on your hair today to give you curls, you wanted curls right, darling, okay, we're going to turn on our nice and flat iron like 410. Let'S shrink this up. Let'S make it so damn hot her head burns out, so she's going to prom tonight. She wants really nice spiral, curls and girl. If there's one person that can give that to you, it's me. So basically they stick it in here and then just wrapped around makes total sense to me we're making a curl on a rectangular flat surface to make a spiral curl. It makes sense to me we're gon na warm this up. So i think it's cooled down. Are you guys ready to see this beautiful spiral? Curl definitely gon na have to be a no for me on that hack. What the [ __ ] is this. It looks like like like spider legs, like i hate it. Sorry, oh my god ew! Oh my god. Oh, my god, if you want a curl, take a piece of hair twist it back halfway and slowly bring it down there and boom. You have a beautiful spiral. Curl. I feel like it's a lot easier. I mean you be the judge, though, if you like this better, i totally get it. You know it's some people's vibe, it's not mine darling, but that's what makes the world go around. Everybody has different vibes. You know just everybody's just out there vibing trying to do their thing all right emma. What do we got next? All right. We got a dry, shampoo hack now now, sometimes these actually work this one's for brown hair. Let'S see what we got going on: greasy hair, yeah dude, sometimes starch, cocoa and baking soda, we're mixing it up and we're using a makeup brush to put it right on her girl that doesn't look good, oh and all of a sudden, her hair, her hair's clean. It'S almost as if you clean your hair and like actually full-on washed it i'm willing to give it a shot. I do like the mixture. I think it's cool to like mix up your own dry, shampoo and adding the cocoa is something i've ever done before. It'S like making a dark dry shampoo um, so you don't get any of that white residue. I'M definitely interested. This actually might be kind of good. Well, hello! You must be my next client for today. Thank you for coming. I'M gon na do a dry shampoo test on you. We got our baking soda here. She kind of just like put like a half a tablespoon in. I think it's just equal parts of everything. So that's what i'm gon na do. At least we got cornstarch and then we got cocoa powder, half a tablespoon of that. Okay, i mean it looks chunky, honestly kind of looks good too. I'M not mad about this. So far i feel like this might actually be good, so she kind of just dipped a brush in like that. Oh pretty, okay! Okay, why? Don'T we just get some of that off of? There looks a lot better on camera? Okay, no! Okay! Okay! That'S all! I have to say just brush that through. I think she needs more to be honest with you. Oh maybe i didn't put enough cocoa powder in, but i did follow the directions. The best of my abilities. Okay, definitely gon na, have to be a big fat. For me, i thought this one was gon na actually work for some reason. I don't know where it went wrong. This actually looked really promising, but got rid of not a lot of the oil, and she has these little flecks of grossness on our hair. Now and i don't know what's going on, but i hate every part of it. Also, the cocoa powder, like didn't darken it enough for it to be like effectively like dark enough for her dark hair. The girls in the video looked a lot darker for some reason. Maybe i had to add more cocoa next time i don't know. Maybe i should try that if that's not enough, i don't know what is it's slightly darker? Maybe no. It'S still super light. I mean, if you want like faux, highlights, i'm just kidding. Don'T ever like. Don'T ever do that. This looks awful. I hate it. This didn't work. I want nothing to do with this ever again. That was actually worse than i expected. It was gon na be, which is shocking all right. What hack do we have next all right? Apparently, we have some kind of blow dryer hack up next on how to make your hair curly easily, which sounds good okay, so they're twisting the hair and then just applying heat to it. I'Ll come on girl, there's no way your hair is turning out that curly. You can tell that they curled the hair and then twisted it all together and then blue, dried and released it to make it look like they did it with a blow dryer. But in reality we use curling iron. But i know that some people do this to their hair and i know it works. Sometimes you do usually have to have a pearly hair to start, but i'm willing to try it out and see if that's like an easier way of manipulating the hair and getting waves, we can try it well. Would you look at that? I have a returning customer. She loved her prom hair that i did with the fork so she's back, i guess her hair seems to be dry. I don't know maybe like a little bit damp. I would personally dampen it a little bit okay, so she split it down the middle and then did the hair and twist, i believe it's already falling out, but fine and i'm twisting it back away from her face. I guess all we have to do now is just blow dry it into place, and hopefully it gives her um as nice of waves as this girl got, because apparently she gets curling iron waves with this technique. Perfect. Okay! Let'S do it all right, so i just blow dry for a few minutes, and so now let's release it and see. If we got perfect curls, i feel like probably not, but i'm optimistic again, um all right. Let'S release the other side now hold on okay. Hear me out, so it's definitely giving me like not everything i wanted, but it is giving me actually something to be honest with i've definitely used this technique before it actually does give you very pretty waves, very natural, looking flat waves. So i actually really like this one. It'S actually really pretty. She uses very natural, looking waves and i'm kind of into it. If i just spent a little more time blow drying, it probably would look even better. So dare i say that i actually like this hack. I don't know if it's really a hack, though it's just kind of a way to style your hair. Maybe it is a hack. What do i know all right, so we got a fake bangs tutorial. Next, let's see what it's all about. Okay, so she's not cutting the bangs, we're putting a little ponytail on the top and a ponytail on the bottom, and it's in okay, it's going through that whoa. I already know this is not gon na work. Should i try it anyways what the [ __ ] were those bangs girl? It doesn't look good, i'm so sorry, but those are not cute. Maybe we could try a little bit longer next time. I don't know, but i just don't even understand how she got her bangs so straight. It was clearly like a hair extension or something she would have had to like trim her length to be all straight. You'Ll see what i'm talking about it's gon na, be all weird. I don't think i can make this one work. This one might be the worst of all all right. We got our elastics, we got everything we need. They put the first ponytail like this like a little half up and then the second one goes right underneath and then we're doing this moment where we kind of like pull the hair through the ponytail. I'M definitely seeing the vision. You definitely have to have really long. Hair for this so tell me what i'm supposed to do with this. Tell me what i'm supposed to do now. I don't know about you guys. This doesn't look exactly like the hack video cute bangs girl. I, like literally, even if i tried to make this look good it wouldn't. This is sad and offensive. I mean listen if you have really long hair and you can afford to like cut some length off when you put your hair forward like this because like if this was thicker, we could actually like make it look, maybe cute and cut some length off to actually Give her bangs and it might work, but this she got she's a lot of hair and it's not even close to working, i'm so sorry sweetie. But this is just not your look. We'Re pulling out the big guns. Now she has probably like the most hair. You can have girl it's either too long or too short. What are we getting out of this like now? It'S too long, i mean what would you do like cut off all your hair, i don't know, go get clip-on bangs if you want temporary bangs. This is just a waste. Your time i mean come on. This is ridiculous. I'M angry i'm upset. I don't want to ever see this hack again. This is terrible. Thank you so much, but no thank you awful. Don'T ever try that all right we got ta hack for loose ponytails coming up emily could use that one. She always has loose ponytails all right, so we're tying two elastics together putting bobby pins on each end. This is actually a normal thing to do, believe it or not and using it as a hair, bungee, and that looks so bad and she's gon na make it look worse with the hair wraps around it. Yes, ariana, okay, miss grande she's, giving us everything with this. I definitely have some thoughts about that, but why don't we just try it, i'm so sorry how much torture she's been through today, she's gon na hate me a little trick. If you don't have hair bungees. If you don't know what hair bungee is, let me show you: this is a hair bungee. It just has two hooks on the end, so if you don't have them um and you really need them one day. This is not as sturdy. That'S for sure, but you can literally just do exactly what they did in that video and put a bobby pin on each end, but they did two hair ties. I guess to make it longer, so they kind of like fed it through the loop like that and did that so we're gon na do the same thing today. All right, we got our pony. Let'S put the hair bungee sort of mechanism in, we put the first little pin in the top and we wrap it around, and then you stick the other pin in and there you go a little makeshift hair bungee and then she wrapped a piece of hair around Which looked really ugly, but i guess we can try it out as well: fun. Okay, i'm not gon na! Do that so i'm gon na say that it definitely works, but i'm also gon na say that i don't think this is any tighter than just using an elastic by itself. I also think it's just ugly if you're gon na do this, you should use just a real hair bungee, because these actually do work and they make it a lot tighter. It'S a lot easier to use and you only get one tiny little string going across. Instead of this huge, like quadruple wrapped ponytail, that looks hideous, i don't like this at all and i won't be using this hack. Did i learn anything new today, no uh? Well, i learned how to make um simple things more complicated for myself. It'S what i learned so thank you, five minute crafts. For that i appreciate it. I didn't need that because i already make things more complicated for myself than they need to be, but it's okay. I could always use more of that.
