 Hey curlfriends, it's me, Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today, and today I'm finally going to tell you about the new color that I added to my hair. Look how beautiful this color is! It's like a really pretty light golden brown highlight, and it just really makes your curls pop. Now I actually got my hair dyed last year back in October 2016, and I had Claire all professionals dye my hair because I got this amazing opportunity to collab with both Claire all and Essence Magazine. That's right, you can find me inside the February issue of Essence Magazine on the cover that's Ava DuVernay, Oprah, and Storm Reid, and Oprah is definitely one of my idols, so the fact that I'm just two pages away from her is amazing, which was such an awesome opportunity. And then you'll see my full page with Claire all professionals color, talking about how much I love my curls and my new highlights. So if you guys see this magazine in stores, make sure you pick one up, take a photo, and tag me so I could see who got one. Now the hair dye that was used on my hair is actually a box dye. This is part of the Claire all professionals line, and this is their textures and tones brand. Not only is the textures and tones line 100% ammonia free. It also contains jojoba oil, which is an amazing oil for our hair, and five botanical extracts that are going to help protect and nourish our hair. Who would have thought that your hair could actually be more moisturized after coloring it? I know that many of you guys want to experiment with color, but you're afraid of damaging your hair, which is possible if you're using things that have bleach or really harsh chemicals, but the textures and tones line was actually designed for women of color and designed by African American stylists for relaxed or natural hair. And they knew that we always worry about dryness and damage. So they made this line particularly so that we could be stress free and just enjoy our new, beautiful color. The Claire all professionals textures and tones line is a permanent and moisture rich line, and there's 16 different inter mixable colors to choose from. In today's video, I'm going to show you how you can apply the professionals Claire all textures and tones dye to your hair at home. This is definitely an easy box dye that could be found at pretty much any drug store or beauty supply store, and it's really affordable. I'm talking like six dollars affordable. So for a couple of bucks, you could have a whole new look. Since the textures and tones brand is a permanent color and it has very vibrant colors that are anti fade. My color still looks pretty fabulous, but my hair has definitely grown out. So I wanted to add some more color at my roots at the top and a little bit more here in the front area so you can really see it. So that's what I'm going to show you today. So you can apply this dye at home in your bathroom. I'll be using the color 6g honey blonde and inside this color and conditioning system. You will get step one, which is the moisture rich hair color. Step two, the color activating cream, which is already inside the applicator bottle. Step three, the Claroprofessional Intensive Moisturizing Conditioner. You also get some professional colorist gloves and of course the instructions. You also will find a booster packet, which is going to help lift any existing color and give it some extra lifting power, especially if you have darker hair going lighter. Let's get started starting with number two, the color activator cream. I'm first going to add in my booster packet because I do have darker hair and I want to get some more golden undertones. So you pour the entire packet in there, seal it up and then give it a good shake. Then we grab step number one, which is our ammonia free hair color and you pour this entire bottle into step two, seal it up and give it a good shake. You really want all of it to mix together evenly. All right, let's get started. This is my day two hair. So I will probably deep conditioned it the day before, but as you can see, my roots are very dark and that's where I really want to add some more color. The back looks really pretty still, but I just want to get these inner roots that have definitely grown out as you can see here. So first I'm going to part and section my hair so I could dye my hair one section at a time and you could just put your hair up and away either by using clips or scrunchies. The gloves are on, so let's do this. So I'm going to be grabbing my applicator bottle and I'm basically going to do a curl by curl painting technique, almost like Pinchura highlights at home. Since I'm not doing a full head of color, I'm just going to grab the darker pieces that I want to look a little bit lighter, especially at the roots. So I'm just going to find any darker curls that I want and rub in the color. I'm going to continue this process throughout my whole head, looking for any darker pieces that need a little bit of blonde in their life. Fun fact about the Claro professionals textures and tones line, this is now the third time I've used this brand to highlight my hair. The very first time I've ever gotten highlights was also with the textures and tones line. So I can a hundred percent vouch for how amazing this line is. As you can see from my curls, I've never experienced any color damage. So the textures and tones line is a hundred percent beyond grenade approved. I'm just about finished. I'm now going to let this sit in my hair for 20 minutes and then I'm going to come back and rinse it out. 20 minutes later, here are my roots. Now, before I rinsed it, I didn't see like too much of a change. So I was wondering if I should keep it in longer. But I quickly learned that once you rinse it out with your shampoo and conditioner, you see where the color really is. So after my shampoo, I grabbed the deep conditioner that comes in the box. It had some amazing slip and it really made my hair feel very moisturized. After I applied a really good amount of the conditioner, I wanted to let it soak into my hair, really rejuvenate everything, make sure I don't get any damage. So I put it up in a way and put it under a shower cap and let it sit for 20 minutes. And here are my results fresh out the shower. Do you see those pretty undertones of the lighter brown really starting to pop out, especially under the light? I absolutely love it. And look how moisturized and shiny my curls are. You would never think that I just finished dyeing my hair. Ugh, so shiny, so defined. Now I want to put my hair up into a ponytail or a pineapple. You could see that my roots have some more color and it doesn't look as grown out. And tada, here are the final results. So let me give you a little close-up of my roots. Now you could see a little bit more of the brown color that I wanted. I didn't want to go too crazy so that when my hair does continue to grow out, you don't see like a really distinctive line. But I wanted just to add a little bit more of the brown so everything blended in a little bit nicer. I also added some more of this color here to the front. And this getting highlights just really makes your curls stand out. So although I did not go too crazy this time with my touch-ups, every time I add some more color, I always end up wanting more. Like I'm really obsessed with this light color. And now I'm thinking about maybe doing my entire head. We'll see. People do always say once you get color, you become like obsessed with changing your color all the time because it really is fun to get a new look. There's no reason why you should live your entire life with the same hair. So there you have it. That is how I got my beautiful new highlights using the Clarol Professionals Textures and Tones line. I love that it's affordable. It has great ingredients and it's not going to damage our hair. It's just going to allow us to have the fun color that we want to put in our hair.
