How To Dye Hair From Black To Auburn Using The Watercolor Method. (Very Detailed)

You know what's wild. What'S wild like i had something insane one utility later: oh i'm too young to have this memory problem, hello, everybody welcome to my youtube channel. My name is safrin. It'S been a very, very long time coming, but we're! Finally, here i know my friends are like finally, because i've been filming videos for a very very long time, but then i start editing it and i just don't like mom and i, like i'm a perfectionist. So i pretty much ruin my own life by not doing what i say i'm going to do, because when i do it it's not perfect and then i got ta, do it with game and it's a whole thing. You know i'm saying like anyway we're here. We'Re live, we're not live, but we're here we're posting this because i told myself. However, this comes out. I'M posting it. I don't care. If one eyelash is over there, i don't care. If my wig is on the floor, i'm just gon na post whatever comes out, and i really hope you guys are going to enjoy it so wow that was a that was a wild intro. For my first video, i wanted to show you guys how i transformed one of my old wigs from black to this color using the watercolor method. So if you guys would like to see it, please keep watching. So this is the hair that i'm going to be using. I'Ve had this hair for a very long time about two years: three, maybe i've gotten some good use out of it and it was about time to let it go, which is why i decided to do this one last time dye it give it a different look And go from there, you can see that it was black before so we're going to bleach it and color it before we get into it. I realized. I spent a lot of time watching videos on how to dye your hair, how to dye your wig without really understanding why i was doing what i was doing and after what i can only call a very frustrating process. Over here i decided to watch videos on specifically hair bleaching and how hair behaves when he's trying to take on color anyway long story short. This video is pretty much me going to be telling you what not to do and cringing at all the mistakes that i made right now. I'M just organizing my work area make sure that you're in a very well ventilated space, all your windows are open just because you're going to be bleaching hair and it's just very toxic. I can already spot my first mistake, which is get a bigger working area. Just so that you don't have to fold your hair so many times. If you have to work on the floor, maybe that's better so that you can spread the hair very well and it's just less of a struggle when you're trying to bleach. Initially, i used the 30 developer, my bw2 powder lightener and a mixing bowl to mix everything together and, of course, let's not forget the gloves, because this bleach about to eat your skin - and i am completely speaking from experience right now - i'm mixing the powder to the Developer until i get a creamy consistency, i'm looking for a light paste, so it's just going to be trial and error. Until you see what you're looking for, i started applying the bleach to the hair, then i noticed my mixture was a little watery, so i went ahead and added some more powder and kept going. I started applying the bleach to the bottom of the hair first because in my experience it takes much longer to lift than the mid section, so i apply from the bottom moving upwards and then i notice see i can't come and kill myself please. This thing was taking too much time, so i decided to use my hands get up in there. It was just taking so much time y'all. Then i have to flip the hair to do it on the other side, because i folded this hair so much. I spent so much time flipping and flipping and flipping. Hence my advice to just get a bigger working space so that you don't have to go through the mess that i did once i make sure the hair is completely saturated with bleach, i'm just going to cover it with my aluminium foil so that it can lift Evenly and we're just going to check on it in about 20 minutes, because your girl's a little paranoid, you know so so i checked the hair after the time was up and i did not like the way it bleached at all. There were a few missing spots and the color didn't lift well enough. I knew i had to go in with bleach a second time and i was just hoping that this hair could handle it because, like i said it was on its last stretch already, i tried to give it more time to lift, but listen. Sis said she was done, she was done. She was dead once the hair is dry, you can tell that it did not bleach evenly. There are some patchy spots around that. I didn't really like. However, knowing what i know now, i would have probably left it at this color, because the lighter you bleach, the hair, the lighter the color you're putting on it is going to appear and the darker the hair. Then the darker, the color, is going to appear as well and i was going for something dark, but it's all right. It'S okay, um! The second time around. I used a 40 developer because i wanted it to live faster and we're just going to repeat the procedure that i did previously in order to bleach the hair after 40 minutes, the hair has been processed, and i like the way this turned out after seeing how It went for one bundle. I was more comfortable doing it to the rest of my bundles. One thing i do want to mention is that processing time really varies on the hair. Some types of hair take much less time to bleach others take longer, which is why i would advise to check after 20 minutes just to see how the hair is doing. I'M gon na go ahead and say that this hair was very stubborn, though, because 40 minutes girl. For what reason? What was the reason once the hair was done? Processing i wanted to get rid of the brassiness, so i decided to wash it with some purple shampoo, as we all know, although i did notice that it didn't really take it off completely. So you know, after being frustrated and almost giving up, i decided to call my colleague alex and they advised me to you know dip it in some water and purple shampoo and leave it in there for a while - and i did that and it worked. I didn't film that part, but i did it and it worked next. We have the frontal the most important piece and sadly the piece where i made the most mistakes. First, i just put a plastic cap over my wig head, so i don't dirty it um, but i'm gon na tell you everything that i did wrong here and you can also see it in the results, but we, this is a teachable moment for all of us. Okay, first mistake: take the hair in smaller sections, like i can't stress this enough, get all the hair clips hair, pins, hair, whatever that you need and all the patients in the world, but take that hair in smaller sections. It just prevents you from making the same mistake that i did i'm going to be covering the hair with aluminum foil, as i go, so that it can lift evenly and also so that the bleach from the top part doesn't touch the bottom part, and also also Freeing girl, you could have done better with that aluminum foil. What was you cutting it with? What'S happened? I don't even know what i was thinking you guys while this was happening, but all i could see is a mess. Another mistake: i'm spotting: you need to decide if you're bleaching, your hair to the roots or not. Initially, i didn't want to bleach my hair to the root. I wanted it to have that kind of dark effect going into the color. However, i must have forgotten, or i must have been losing patience because in some areas i find myself bleaching to the root in other areas. I don't do that. Listen, i'm just trying to tell you the mistakes i made so that you don't do the same thing. So make that decision and stick to it. Unlike me, who can't stick to my life decisions? Apparently once i'm done bleaching the hair, i'm just going to cover it in aluminum foil, as i did before, once it's done processing i will dip it in purple shampoo and that's that. So this is the result. Once it's been bleached and dry, you can see that there's two different tones to it, which i did on purpose, the one i'm currently picking up is a darker blonde. I processed it for less time. This is about 20 minutes. I did want to see the difference in how a darker blonde would pick up color compared to a lighter blonde. Now the hair that i just picked up, which you can see on camera, has more of a reddish undertone, but in reality that was not it at all. In reality, it was more of a 613 color. I tried really hard to show you what it looked like in real life, but the camera just wasn't capturing it, and this reddish undertone that i'm seeing here is just very false. It was a very pretty 613 color um anyway, so i'm going to be doing the watercolor method um with this hair and we're really going to see how you know the lighter blonde catches, the color versus the darker blonde. So i pour boiling water into a bowl. A container whatever you can use to dip things in if you have a bigger one, that would be much better, but i didn't have one on hand. So that's what i used to get the color i had. I used the semi-permanent hair dye adore in shade 58. So one bottle of cinnamon, then i used about half the bottle of french cognac and half the bottle of cajun cajun spice kitchen, okay, okay, however, you say that word that one i used half of it, then i'm gon na mix it and then dip. My hair in it the reason i didn't use that much water is because i really wanted my hair to be a dark orange. However, when i dipped it in there and it was coming out, i was so mad because i'm like, why is it coming out some kind of doodoo brown like this is not what i had in mind. I was frustrated. I was man. Why is it? Do you see what i mean? The color was just not making me happy, you know, but i decided to trust the process and just let it keep going and obviously, when it dried, i was sure it was gon na show up as a different color. I let the hair sit in the water for about 15 minutes and then it was time to let it dry and to start making my wig and there she is. We are calling her vivian as for sarah's suggestions, and i actually think it's very fitting now i didn't show you how i made this wig, but i will have a video showing you how i make my wig sometime in the future. I wanted to show you exactly how the color turned out, as you can see what i was talking about. The color lifts much faster in the middle, so the bottom of the hair tends to be a tiny little bit darker than the mid section. I put the hair that i processed for longer in the back, and i wanted to show you guys how much it how much lighter i picked up the color compared to the hair that i put up front. But unfortunately, let me cut that thread by the way. Unfortunately, my camera won't, let me be great, it's not showing you exactly um, but just know the hair in the back is a little lighter than the hair in the front. So this just confirmed my suspicions now onto the mistakes i made when i was bleaching. My frontal, you can see that some of the roots are dark, which is kind of what i wanted, except. I didn't do that evenly so you're going to see some sections didn't yeah. I bleached some sections to the root um other sections weren't as dark as the other. I will say that this was an easy fix, though all you had to do was just go in and bleach the roots again to just make everything uniform, but i had allocated a certain amount of time to this process and honestly i had surpassed that time by So much see i bleached to the root over there. I surpassed that time by so much um and had so many other things to do so. I just decided to wear my disappointments on my head and honestly. It would teach me a lesson for the future. Take your time be patient suffering, i'm not patient at all guys. I have like zero patience so guys this is the finished. Look um. Mine is the makeup. I just did that for instagram, but this is the finished look of my hair. I do like it. It came out the way i was expecting it to i'm happy. I experimented with this hair. There are a few things i would do differently the next time around, which i will obviously let you know, but first things. First, here's the hair. I don't know if i'm showing all angles: here's the back and yeah. So i really do like this color, i'm happy. I did it. I wanted to try it for a really long time. So what would i do differently? First, things: first to your frontal first, so your front toe. First, it takes the most effort, the most energy, the most precision, so i would just say: get it over with spend more time on it and don't be like me and rush the process. Just take your time, watercolor method, love, it um love it for the tracks most specifically, but it doesn't really work for or it does, but it's just messy for the frontal next time i would definitely um. I wouldn't water color the whole thing again, because then your lace turns orange everything's orange, it's just a mess, so i would definitely just um go in with a brush and like comb, it out the clothes i get to the root so that it doesn't touch my Lace lesson learned right so about this wig damn what did i eat this morning? Oh, that's: crazy eggs, wait, cheese, no eggs, eggs and bread yeah! That'S what i eat. She, she she that was really fattening. Do i look fat right now? I look looked my face down like that: yeah nah. I look back anyway, yeah, hair, hair hair. Another tip that i learned is um if you're washing out your hair and you find that it's still very brassy, just soak it in purple shampoo for a bit um that kind of worked for me. It took away the brassy undertones and stuff like that. I think that's it overall over a wall overall, i'm really happy with the hair, i'm happy with the way it turned out.
