Hey you guys it's Sarah here welcome back to my channel. Today'S video is a long long awaited video. I'M gon na be showing you guys the bleach and die free method that I use to blend my roots. It may come as a shock to you, but I am NOT a natural blonde believe it or not. I know your world is shook, but obviously, while we've been in quarantine, I can't go get my roots touched up. Nobody can salons, aren't open. All of us with colored hair are just sol right now, but you still shouldn't box dye, your hair for the love of God, don't box our hair, so I figured out a method to blend my roots like you're, seeing right now they do usually look a lot More harsh there is a harsh break between the black and the platinum blonde hair that I have so. I discovered a method that is sweat and waterproof to blend my roots and make them look a lot softer, which I'm gon na share with you guys today. But don't forget to please subscribe if you're new to my channel give this video a thumbs up, say hi to me in the comments down below and we can go ahead and jump into it. Okay, so, like I mentioned earlier, this video was long awaited because I did try to record at once and the footage ended up being a complete disaster. I had tried to do it on my day that I had freshly washed my hair literally, i blow-dried my hair. Then sat down at my vanity instead of trying to blend my hair and my hair wasn't blending very well? I was sitting in harsh lighting, so it was just like really washing everything out. You guys couldn't even see what I was doing. So I just kind of gave up, but I still wanted to share the method with you guys, so I decided to rope it into a vlog that I was filming today and as I was vlogging, I was realizing that it ended up. Looking really really good. So since it turned out so good, I decided I'm gon na make it a standalone video. So I apologize that the main footage of this is gon na, be shoddy a bathroom lighting and vlog footage, but you guys will get to see the method I'll walk. You guys through it show you guys exactly what I'm using in order to blend my hair. One thing that I do want to tell you guys about this method Before we jump into that footage is something that I pretty much just shared with you. I highly highly suggest doing this on hair. That is at least one day old. If you try to do this on freshly washed hair, the powders that we're gon na be using are not gon na stick to your hair as well. So you definitely need your hair to be a little bit more dirty in order to make this the most effective - and I do want to ask you guys if you have friends who are blonde out there, who are contemplating Fox dying over their blonde. Please share this video with them. Let them know that there is a way that they can still salvage. It honestly feel free to share this video with everybody. I just want this to be like a resource for anyone, who's really really struggling, and especially for people who are like needing to get on camera for meetings and stuff and feel very self conscious about the roots. I hope that this can be helpful for them, but anyways I'll go ahead and stop blabbering and we'll get right into the footage. Okay, you guys we are in my bathroom and I am about to start blending my fruits, I'm just gon na put in some dry shampoo in this dry. Shampoo is the best I talked about it on March favorites, but this like the Dove dry shampoo, but one that I use is the you toxin purify dry, shampoo, it's so much like it literally just like refreshes your hair and it actually works. There'S a lot of dry shampoos that I use that, like don't really do much, but this one actually does that. I love it, as you guys can see. My roots are looking really really long and pretty drastic. There'S a super harsh line right now between the blonde and the black, and that is what we're gon na fix. So, like I mentioned, I am blending my Reds. I am NOT trying to cover them up or hide them. I am working with them and my goal is to create kind of a gradient effect on my hair so that it's a gradual fade into the blonde for my roots, so my secret weapon for that right now have been the color well blue cover-ups. These are like root cover-up powders. I use two different colors. This first one is the dark one and then the second one is the medium brown and then actually, you grab a little thing to help it out a little bit, because there is such a drastic contrast between my roots and my blonde hair. I'M also gon na go in with a really really dense black eyeshadow to kind of help pull the black line out a little bit more, but for the most part I use these root cover up powders. I have tried to blend my roots with eyeshadows. The problem with that is that the eyeshadows don't really stick to your hair very well. They like pretty much rub out within a day versus these color brow. Powders are actually sweat proof and a water resistant, so they're gon na stay in your hair until you shampoo them out, which is great. The one drawback on this is that when you run your hands through your hair or scratch your head, you are gon na see some of that powder transfer under your hands which, like that being said, if you wear this for longer than like two or three days, You do need to touch it up, but for like a day or two, it does last pretty well, so that's the only drawback. That'S the only reason why I've been taking a break and why I'm just gon na switch to only doing this whenever she film us at down video, but we're gon na go ahead and jump into this. So when I do this, I really only do the parts that are showing so it's gon na be right through here with the regular part and then I'll pull the sides back in case, I want to put my hair up and I'll go ahead and shape these Parts on the side here as well, and then I might go in in a layer underneath and shade those two just so that if my hair moves a little bit and stuff, it still has the same blending as the top of my hair, starting out. First, with the dark blonde, I am gon na, take it with the fatter side and I'm gon na pick up a good amount of product and I'm just gon na go ahead and start blending it and for the dark blonde. I'M actually gon na go ahead and pull that pretty far out. This is like the second lightest color, so that gets a blended before this out. Obviously so it just creates that, like nice gradient and obviously this isn't like something for everyday - I mean the only way to really truly fix your hair is to actually dye it. I highly suggest, especially if you are an artificial blonde, don't touch your hair, especially don't box diet until you can get to your hairstylist. I know it's a pain in the ass, but it's better not to like ruin your hair and then spend all of that money. Putting your hair back to blonde because, as you know, it is very expensive to go blonde and it's also like pretty pricy to maintain it. So don't screw yourself over it's true over your hairdresser by box, bagging, your hair or trying to like color it on your own, because it's just gon na make it that much harder to go back to it once we're out of quarantine. So this is definitely like a good alternative. If you know you work on social media, you need to take pictures. You just don't want like super super harsh roots, or you know if you're working, you're working with clients - and you just want to look a little bit more presentable and not jump onto video chats and stuff. Looking like super super crazy. This is definitely like a good solution. Okay, so I did the top and you guys can see the difference between the two with just the dark blonde layer. There'S already a little bit more of a gradient happening here and that's just like one layer of powder color. I'M gon na go ahead and pull the front back and start working underneath, but how we're dealt with this in my hair and it did a hundred percent last right through the workout. I actually think I've worked out like two or three times with this. In my hair and the color was still there, so it is truly sweat proof and waterproof. The only warning I will give you is that like, if you do work out with this powder in your hair, especially then do not scratch your hair, because you will pull it right out because it's like wet and then, if you scratch it out, it's just gon Na like instantly yank everything right out, so you will need a touch-up if you accidentally do that. So you can already see you like right here. Even from the front, you can see like there's a little bit more of a shadow. It'S already like starting to look a little bit more one day, not like really really blended, but it's like a little bit more wanted, which is nice, so I'm just gon na go through make sure that I'm happy with this layer of the color and then for The front I always like to bring this down pretty far just because this is in the front, so I just want to make sure that it looks like it has like that: good, blended, color, okay, then taking the fat end of this. I'M gon na pick up the color, and this give me a lot more dense. Now I'm gon na run the denser wash of color through that area again, but concentrate it a little bit more in, like the middle top area, just to create a little bit more of a shadow of back towards the top make sure to get like the little Flyaways too, that you might have cuz those like little sections can definitely make the difference between it. Looking like you only covered up certain areas and looking like it's like actually a balayage effect, that's happening throughout your whole line. Well, I'm pretty happy with this side. So far with this blonde, now the last step with the dark blonde is I'm gon na, take the brush at a vertical and run the brush up vertically on it pulling the color just on the very tip, and I like to pull my hair out cuz, I Feel like I can just see it better when I do that, I'm gon na take the brush vertically and just kind of like run stripes like pretty far down just so that it kind of pulls more of this blonde. A little bit further down into my hair makes it look a little bit more naturally blended kind of like as if this darker blonde was like low light it into my hair up. Next, I'm going in with this medium brown right here again, starting with the flat side, we're gon na kind of do the same thing, but obviously, with this color we're gon na work in a tighter area. So we're not going to go as far down on the hair as we did with the dark blonde. We'Re gon na keep it a little bit more into the roots. Okay, then again flipping the brush over on the denser side, I'm gon na concentrate now closer towards that dark root again just pulling some product on the very tip of this. I'M not gon na go as far down when I love light or highlight with it. I'M just gon na check it probably just about there just so that the color isn't so even it's like more natural, where there's no like super straight line of difference between the colors. So that's what this is doing. It'S just kind of like creating a little bit more depth and then, as you can see right now, this side looks a lot more like the color is more intentionally blending into my roots versus this eye, where it's just like, belong the black, but we're gon na Go in a little bit deeper just because my roots are so dark and my blonde is so bright. I'M gon na go ahead and take some black eyeshadow and just kind of see if I can pull the line of black roots out a little bit so that it's a little bit more jagged a little bit more natural-looking. And if your roots aren't as dramatic. Let'S say you are naturally light brown and you're trying to blend into the blonde, or something like that. You definitely can't get away with blending with only two colors, maybe even one color, even honestly, but for those of us who are experiencing some very dramatically dark grades. Pretty much the more colors that you bring in the horrible edited it'll end up. Looking, I'm only gon na do this towards the front, just because honestly, I'm lazy, but there we go so this side is complete. You guys didn't even see just like from the front. That'S a huge difference between the two sides like this looks a lot softer and it looks a lot more intentional versus this side. Just looks like exactly what happened like. I grew my hair out and they haven't gotten. It touched up so like I said it doesn't. 100 % fully hide the roots, but it does help camouflage them a little bit better, and it's also really good too. If you can just like kind of shake it out, work it in a little bit after you're done and helps to disperse. It again makes it look a little bit more natural and then here I can show you guys exactly what I mean by the one drawback of this sorry. My nails are like pretty terrible in general, but you can see all of that powder that rubbed off onto my nails. That is the one drawback that I have for this and the reason why I decided to take a break because I just like I couldn't stand seeing that all the time. But again, if you need to get on video chat conferences with clients and you just like. Don'T want to look like your hair's, a hot mess or, if you are creating content, or you know, you're, just tired of staring at your roots. I hope that this will be helpful for you guys for anyone who's curious. These color about powders, I believe, are about 35 each again. If your roots aren't too bad, you can get away with just one color, but I would definitely say if you are blonde with medium or darker roots, you probably need at least two colors, so I'm gon na finish it up. The other tie my hair and then I'll hop back on and show you guys like what it looks like when the full head is done. Okay, guys so all finished you guys can see all of the parts of my hair that are sure route. Our blood did. I will say to that without like actually talking it through this whole process, maybe takes me 15 or 20 minutes, just kind of depends on how fast I'm working so definitely not something that's like necessary to do every single day, especially with how long that takes, but The good news is, is that once you do it, it does stay for a few days after that. So that is how I blend my routes to make them look a lot less harsh and to make it look like they're intentionally, blended balayage over a whatever you want to call it. So I hope that this helps out anybody who's blonde again. Please share this video. If you have a blonde friend who's struggling right now, don't let her box tie your hair fronts, don't let friends box and their hair, but anyways. That was it for how I'm blending my roots.
