Hey: what's up you guys welcome back to my youtube channel or welcome to my youtube channel today, I'm going to be showing you how to do the holo holographic hair technique that has been going viral lately. I first kind of really got inspired when I saw a guy named fab hair by josh on instagram. He posted so many different variations of this technique on his Instagram and he actually has an Instagram stories, video showing exactly how he does things. If you would like to check that out, I highly recommend he's definitely the first person. I saw a doing this technique and definitely inspired me to recreate it, or at least try to. This was my first time ever using pole, bright, hair color, and I am going to tell you the exact formulas of everything that I did. I'M going to show you the sectioning for everything. I'M going to show you exactly what fab hair drug by Josh said to do to get this kind of like halo prism technique. I definitely didn't mean for mine to come out as neon or as electric as it did. I was kind of aiming for more pastel. I mean we have pastel like lavender on the bottom, but the rest is pretty like Lisa, Frank, vibes and honestly I love it, I'm so here for it. I am like obsessed with how this turned out. I think it's amazing, I'm so excited to share with you guys how to do this. I will be leaving timestamps in the description box down below, because this is probably gon na be a long video. So if you just want to jump to me applying the hair color look the time stamps, let's just jump into it, I bought a blonde mannequin on Amazon. It was only $ 28. It was very inexpensive, so I didn't expect it to be like super high quality. When I got it, it was definitely a very strawberry-blond kind of color very warm toned. So I went ahead and bleached it and just went in with 30 volume bleach and let that sit on for way too long. I accidentally fell asleep. While the bleach was on his mannequins hair and I woke up at 4 a.m. and was like. Oh, so it was probably on the mannequins head for about five hours. Needless to say, it did not appreciate that she lost a lot of hair in that journey. Whoo. It was a tragic ordeal. It was very bad, as you can see here. She lost massive clumps of hair, so to say, she's been through. It is an understatement, but it did help significantly lighten the hair to where it felt like it could pull maybe pastel, possibly, but obviously that is not the case. I got neon because her hair was not pastel and like a pure white color to begin with, it was still kind of in that yellow stage. Like I said, Josh shows exactly how to do this on his Instagram, so I just copied his sectioning exactly. I did have to give this mannequin a side part because she is missing a chunk of hair on one side before I bleach her. I did do a little test, rayon of bleach, to see if her hair could even handle being bleached and that entire strand fell out in that process. So she had a little bald spot. We needed to correct so she does have a side part instead of a center part, but obviously, if you're not correcting a bolt, but you can just do a center part and that's fine or just matched the parting to where they've hurt their hair. So I did a off-center horseshoe hurt kind of matching where she parted her hair and then just followed everything that josh said to do. I aimed to try and get a pastel lavender like he has I'm going to tell you guys my exact formulations in just a second. So let's talk about all the colors that I bought to make this work to achieve my like Lisa, Frank style, colors. I bought Cupid, which obviously is a hot pink lemon, which is a bright yellow area 51, which is a green that is marketed as neon. But honestly, it's a little translucent clear just to help share things out. I'M pretty convinced clear. It'S just white conditioner, but I don't know for sure tragic, which is a very blue blue, maybe like a little bit on the slate side, a cool-toned blue lilac, which is a true pastel lilac, a little vibrant like a little kind of on the neon pastel side. If that makes any sense and velvet, which is a pure purple, I alley had to try that one out, first of all, as a hair colorist, the packaging is really appealing. To me know this video is not sponsored. Yes, I wish it was. The packaging is super. Appealing because it's a little pop top, so you can easily shut this and reuse it. No problem Pravana has like little screw caps and also another thing about pulp riot was the colors don't bleed together? If I were to try and accomplish the same exact color look with Pravana colors, all of the colors would bleed together when I went to wash them. I know because I've tried in the past and it just looks like a hot mess, so I decided to use only propria to achieve this, because that's why everyone on Instagram was using. So I was like alright I'll give it a go. I even saw a video of something like bringing it all together in her hands while it was wet and it didn't like transfer and that's pretty much what sold me. I was like alright that looks interesting. Let'S try it. I had a really pleasant experience with it. I thought it colored beautifully. The colors turned out more vibrant than I expected, which was a nice surprise. Love that it definitely. It looks like oil slick Lisa, Frank and I just love it, I'm so obsessed with it. I'M like. Should this be my hair, maybe like it's so beautiful, I really like it a lot. It'S just really fun. It'S really different! It'S something totally unique to accomplish this as you're pretty much gon na color, everything below the horseshoe of whatever color you want. Like. I said I was trying to kind of match the pastel lavender from the video that originally inspired me to do this and I got somewhere kind of close. I don't know, I don't really love how the bottom color turned out. It was kind of an accident and honestly, I can't even tell you the formula for it because, like I said it was kind of an accident and I don't love how it turned out. Don'T recommend that one, but I did use a different purple on top for, like the root section and on the purple and the rainbow, and I like that, purple a lot better. So for that formula I ended up using 60 grams of lilac 10 grams of violet 50 grams of clear, and I really liked that combination. So I thought that was a much prettier purple. So that's the one I kept the formula for for the pink I mixed 20 grams of cupid, ten grams of lemon and 10 grams of clear for the yellow. I just used straight-up 20 grams of lemon for the green. I used 30 grams of area 51. 5 grams of lemon 12 grams of clear and 2 grams of tragic for the blue. I used 15 grams of tragic in two grams of area 51 that pretty much ended up being all the colors that I used to create the rainbow. So now we can move on to talking about how to achieve that part. Once you have covered all of the bottom sections and whatever color you chose you're gon na move along to that top horseshoe section that you have sectioned out, take a shot everytime. I say section in this video you're, going to over direct that section in front of the client mannequin whoever's face over directed towards in the center of their and then you're going to start applying your rainbow. This is where you can get super super creative with things. If I could recommend anything to myself, it would be, it should go back in time and try and make the rainbow strands smaller and more precise. I knew that that was gon na be an issue, but I still really like how it turned out, especially for my first time ever trying this. So you take the strands and make them very thin like you need to be able to see through each section that you're pulling basically because what you're gon na do is copy your rainbow onto at the first strand of hair and then you're going to take. That really thin section on top of that one, and do the exact same rainbow that you see underneath it the underneath one, is your guide pretty much, but as you move along, you can start applying the rainbow bottom to top, and if you do that, it helps Hold the hair kind of like anchor it and place in the bottom and that just helps apply things a little bit smoother. However, I think I prefer still coloring everything just straight top to bottom. I trade both ways out in this video and I think I prefer just I. I think I got a smoother blend when I was applying the color from top to bottom, rather from bottom to top. So that's something I kind of figured out along the way, but you just honestly like infinitely repeat that just that same thing over and over, just repeat that you have no hair left, you have nowhere left to go and that's how you get it. That'S how it turns out this beautiful every now and then I did kind of feel like the rainbow was getting out of hand like too far off base. So what I would do is place a new foil down and kind of start the rainbow over again, because I just felt like I had gotten the coloring off a little too much so sometimes I would kind of start over and that way in this pattern. So I think that helped one things even further. I definitely don't recommend leaving bleach on a mannequins hair that long as you saw, I lost so much hair off of this mannequin, but honestly for the price of this mannequin I'm highly impressed. I cannot believe that there is a head of hair at all on this mannequin honestly, so I'm pretty impressed with it. It took it like a champ, I mean pulp right. Color clearly is a little conditioning because it made the hair a little softer and a little smoother, which is great. I also want to note whenever I went in and straightened it to style it. I used probably about 50 % heat that my straightening iron does. I think that's really important to note, because when your hair has been so bleached and so color treated, the last thing it needs is the highest setting of heat on any heat device that you're using. So if your hair has been highlighted, balayage on braid color treated at all, with bleach in any way like me, I have all over bleach on my hair cuz. It'S purple. I will always use like the middle-of-the-road setting on heat tools with my hair. So that's what I did with this has just used a very low heat setting and tried to only make one pass with the straightener. Only this girl's ends are real real crunchy. After all that bleaching they're real bad, but that's kind of you know the nature of the mannequin mannequins come in already being bleached already being box dyed and then for me to bleach it again and accidentally leave it on for five hours. It was a really bad combination, but the color definitely helps with it a little bit just be very gentle. If you do have color treated hair with bleach always use a lower heat setting, because that will really help prevent a lot of damage to your hair. If you have to use heat on it at all, otherwise try did not. You see donut on a daily basis. I only wash my hair once a week. I'Ve actually been doing this for years, I'm actually on day 14. Right now. My hair is very overdue. For a wash, but I'm a big believer and not drying your hair out when it's color treated, because it's already so fragile and it's already so delicate, but this is so beautiful. I'M just like this is amazing. Like I love this technique, I'm so excited that I learned this from Instagram like who would have thought what I love this. Thank you so much to hear by Josh work fab here by Josh, sorry I'll be able all of his and foe down below, because this is amazing. I love this technique now, it's so beautiful. Like I love it like I said whenever I went to go rinse this mannequin, I had no issues with any of the colors bleeding together like if I tried this with Pravana. That yellow would not be there anymore. It would just be like orange. It blended out really beautifully because of how thin of sections you take and how everything gets over directed and that's what really helps create this pattern. It'S just gorgeous. I love this. I wanted to do this on someone's head so badly. I'M just like if you live in Austin Texas and you want hair like this hit me yeah once I finished, applying all the color in the worse shoe section. I let this process for about 45 minutes and then I rinsed it out with cool water. I didn't go for like ice-cold, water or anything over dramatic, but I did use kind of lukewarm water to rinse out the colors. This was a real client. I'D be very curious to see how this fades over time because I feel like it could definitely just go like really pastel and super cool or just like. I don't even know what would happen, but I'm obsessed with it also potpourri hair color smells really nice. I don't know how to describe it other than just like clean and fresh. It'S not like a fruity scent. It'S not a like floral scent at all, like it's just like clean and fresh. It smells really nice, but I I'm obsessed with this. I can't stop playing with it like I love it, I love how it turned out. I did want to include a couple of clips of how people on Instagram, cleverly style, hair and position hair to make it look like it's colored, even cooler, and I think that's something. That'S very interesting that nobody has really talked about, but I'll see photos of people who have done an amazing hair color, but then the way that they've combed their hair or situated the hair for the photo just accentuates it. They wanted to show a little bit about how people go about that, how people kind of position and style hair. I think it's very clever, I think it's very useful and I think it really helps show off the color pattern and a lot of different ways. So I love it, I'm a big fan of that this hair is so much fun like it truly reignited, like my passion for hair. So that being said, I have a lot of leftover hair color. So please, let me know if there's any hair patterns, you would like to see me attempt next. I had so much fun doing this like I would love to do it I'll, just keep buying mannequins and keep giving them like cool rainbow ass hair. Like I love it, I think it's so incredible. It'S so badass! Please someone! Let me do this to their head. I love it. It would look so good in real life. Like do I want this as my hair, maybe it's just like. I love this. I think this is amazing.

Kuuipo Jones: Thank you for sharing I did this technique today on my mannequin , the end results were beautiful!! So rewarding thanks so much

Jamie Roberts: You did phenomenal for your first try! Love it. I've also seen a style similar to this, with a horizontal rainbow, but it's sort of, I would say "digital" where it looks like pixels, or how a corrupted image has a bunch of colorful squares that are almost in a pattern, but not quite. I don't know how to explain it properly but I bet you could rock that style out! (Search rainbow pixelated hair) Because this looks so cool. I wish Delaware was any where near Texas because I'd so be your guinea pig for anything!

Ashley McKissack: Clear is actually to add to other colors to make them lighter I believe. That’s what I use it for in matrix anyways. Love the look! Gorgeous!

Aunti Gingy: How do you keep your hair smelling good past day 8?

sydney johnson: I looked at a ton of videos on his Instagram page dating back to before you posted this, but didn’t find anything other than super short videos of him talking about the final steps of the process and vaguely explaining what his goal was without saying how it’s done, is there a longer/more detailed video anywhere on any media platform that explains more about it?

Jana Johnson: Could you make me one similar? You are so talented!!! I would love to buy one from u! Can u ship to Cali?
