Black To Fiery Orange Hair On Dark Skin | Hair Transformation | Akua

Tell me what you wanted: hey guys, welcome back to my channel. My name is akuya for those of you who are new and for those of you who aren't welcome back to my channel, so i know i'm outside, but today's not a vlog um. This is a hair transformation video. I just wanted to show you guys how the hair looks like in natural lighting. I do not get any natural lighting in my house, it's literally a dungeon, so i just wanted to show you guys how the hair looks like in natural lighting. So you guys can see exactly how the color came out but yeah, if you're interested in how i achieve this hair color keep on watching. Okay! So first thing i have this bucket of clariol bleach clariol, that's how you pronounce it right whatever, but i used one whole bottle of 40 developer. I'M going to insert a picture of how it looks like so you guys can see which one i used, but basically i'm gon na be heavily applying the bleach onto the hair um. I was gon na do a beach bath, but i didn't have a big enough bucket to like um put the hair in. You can call this a beach shower if you will but yeah that's what i'm doing right now cause. I had no idea so, as you guys can see, the hair is literally covered in bleach. Like this, you can't even see the wig, it's all bleached, but that's how you want it to look like um. It didn't really over process the hair. I left it in for about 30 minutes. That might seem wrong, but after i washed the bleach out, this was the results and it didn't even get as light as i wanted to. Some parts did get lighter than others, but i felt like this was light enough for what i wanted to do so for the dyes. I got french cognac, cajun, spice, ginger and kiss temptation in flamin orange. I even use all of them, but you guys will see later on and of course, i'll have them linked down below okay. Moving on to the fun part, i have my hair sectioned in four pieces, so i have the back and i have two buns in this middle section and then i have the frontal, as you guys can see. I have them in sections because i want the wig and the color to have dimension to it, so this is going to help me distribute the color differently throughout each section. Okay, so now it's time to pay attention, i know a lot of youtube. Videos say you don't have to have scorching hot water for watercolor method. But honestly, in my opinion, i feel like that's how it comes out the best. I boiled hot water into this pan. Don'T worry, i do not use this pan for cooking, it's just a miscellaneous pot that has been sitting there and i just decided to use it for this hair. So, as you guys can see in the beginning, i poured like a couple of drops well more than a couple of drops of the flamin orange dye into the pot. I don't have that much water in here. I know you guys can't tell, but it's like less than half full, so with watercolor. You want to make sure that you don't have too much water. If you do it's going to be too dilute, and then your color won't pick up as much. I tested a couple of strands, so i can see what the color was looking like and when i liked how it looked like, i decided to dip the back of the hair into the water first in terms of dipping the hair into the dye. I know if some people like to like dunk it and let it sit in there. I don't like doing that because i feel, like i feel like doing that, makes the hair just all one color and that's not what i'm going for. So i like to dip and lift the hair in and out of the pot, i feel like doing that gives the hair and the color more dimension, and it leaves the hair not being the same color throughout the whole way. I added some of the ginger dye into the pot. I didn't end up using the cajun spice or the french cognac. Last minute i decided i wanted to do a more orangey look rather than ginger. So that's why i didn't use the other dye. So basically, what i'm doing is unraveling each section and dipping the hair in and out of the pot. And by doing this, it really helps to distribute the color throughout the hair and it almost gives it an ombre look because because, obviously, if you dip the ends in longer than the top is going to come out darker. So that's what i wanted to do. That'S what i was going for and i feel like i kind of achieved it. Lastly, i just wanted to add that i gradually added more of the flamin orange dye, the more i added more hair into the pot, i'm just gon na. Let you guys watch and see what i'm doing. If you have any questions or you feel like, i didn't explain something good enough. Please let me know in the comments after i was finished, dipping and lifting the hair. I decided to wash it with my organic conditioner and after that i let it air dry for a bit and then i went ahead and blow-dried it. So this is how the hair looks like fully blow-dried and it looks pretty good. I put some pink curls in it later that night. I didn't record because it was just late and i was very tired, but i ended up curling the front on camera, so you guys can see that in the next clip i like to apologize for the camera. Footage looking blurry clearly i wasn't in focus, but i just wanted to show you guys how good the hair looks in different lighting. Like you see how the dye doesn't look like consistent throughout it looks orangey. It looks more orange in some parts it looks even red in some other parts and then it has like a hint of ginger. That is exactly what i was going for and you can really see how the dye distributed throughout the hair in this clip. So that's why i wanted to show you guys i did pin curls and i left it in for two days. I didn't take them out until this video. I just left the frontal part, because i was going to curl that part on camera. So you guys can see, but my footage is blurry, so i don't know what to do about that. But i figured let me just keep it in there, so you guys can see because it's not like it's too bad. You guys can see what i'm doing but yeah i'm just using my hot comb and then i'm gon na go in with my flat iron and curl the hair at the top hi. It'S me again. I just wanted to show you guys what i'm doing and how i'm curling the hair. Let me know if you guys want a tutorial on how to do: pin curls with a flat iron i'll, be down to show you guys how to do that. I really like how the hair looks like in this footage, like you, can just see the different types of orange that is running throughout the hair, and i really really like it but um. Don'T judge me on how i was trying to style this hair. I did not know how to place where i wanted the curls. I was just experimenting and seeing what looked good i didn't brush out or comb out the curls, because i wanted to save it for another day. I wanted to take pictures outside and i didn't want to have to re-curl the hair. I lightly combed out the curls with my hands, but i didn't want to comb it out fully. Okay, that's it for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it um. Let me know what you guys think of this hair. I know it's a lot. It'S very vibrant and i'm still trying to get used to it so yeah. Let me know what you guys think of it, and let me know what other colors you want for me to try. I would like to apologize for the clips that were out of focus um. I did not know i was recording out of focus, so that's my bad but um yeah, as always, don't forget to like comment and subscribe and i'll see you guys in the next one bye. Oh
