 Hello, beautiful. You look stunning. Look in a mirror and look at yourself. So gorgeous that you make me nervous. And that's the truth. Thank you for being here. Today we're watching people go from really light hair to really dark hair. And you guys know I like blonde hair. It gives me bright, gorgeous, fabulous vibes. And brown hair does the same when it's done right. So hopefully the hair transformations we watched today are done right and they actually look super vibrant and just as gorgeous as their blonde hair. I'm a little nervous because, you know, people like to get on my case about liking blonde hair. The comments are probably gonna be flooded with comments being like, bad only likes people with blonde hair. Sorry, it's not true. And I'll hopefully prove that to you today. Let's watch some people go from blonde to brown slash black. Let's do it. Up first with a video by Lily Corcoran. And this is called dyeing my hair blonde to brown at home, gone wrong. Mmm, Lily, what happened? Hey guys, welcome back. So I know I've only been blonde for about three weeks. Did I hear that right, Lily? You've only been blonde for three weeks. Honestly though, same. Like, that's something I would do. It's like, I tried to be mad for just that second, but I was like, you know what? Cut this girl some slack because you'd be doing the same sh**, Brad. You'd be doing the same sh**, Brad. So don't. So I'm done about today at home. Is that box dye? I just thought. Is that Lily? Lily, that's what I saw. And that is not what I'm liking. I thought it'd be quite easy. I thought I could just dye my hair about brown with this brown hair dye, but you can't because it will go green. Lily did some research before doing this. Girl, I love you. Oh my God. It will go green. If you just go in with some really dark color, you need to fill all the missing pigment in your hair. We have to dye it red first. Oh. Oh. This looks like a very intense red. Hopefully she's doing a very dark brown or else this very intense red was not necessary. An orange probably wouldn't have been fine, but she's literally putting box dye over box dye. Both of those have very high ammonia contents and can be very damaging, especially a high lift red color. Girl, you could have just filled your hair with like a same permanent color or, you know, it just depends on each situation and how you want to fill the hair, but this is the worst idea. I can't believe I've got a damn hair red. I feel sorry for like if any hairdressers are gonna walk. It's gonna stink, isn't it? I'm not living for this blonde on her, I must say. Like I wish she had a more of like a root going on. Maybe she would have looked better with like balayage, some highlights, just something that isn't so all over. And I think this color is a bit too warm for her. Seemingly like, I don't know, it's hard to tell on this video right now, but more cool tone skin, neutral even. Ew. Don't section it out or anything. Why would we do that? We're already starting to change color. It is getting real, real fast. This application method is not it for me and it never will be it and it'll never be up to my standards. I'm sorry guys, but try harder. Holy shit. Her hair is so bright. She's gonna have a hard time covering that red with a light brown color. It seems like she's somehow getting most of her hair colored. The color she's using is a little bit liquidy, so that's good. Oh, absolutely not. Absolutely not. I've just got out the shower, just washed out the red hair dye and now it's a bit blonde in place. Still hope for the brown color. You definitely manage to miss a lot of pieces of your hair. So, good job girl. The red is actually not a bad color to put underneath this. It's actually not as vibrant as I looked when she was coloring. It's a little more faded, a little more orangey, which is actually a pretty good color to fill with. And when I say fill, I mean the process of going red before brown or orange before brown or whatever you need to do. Holy shit. I look back over and all of a sudden, what is this? Oh my God, I really hope it doesn't stay in my head. It's going to stay in your head. It looks like she did some face painting. I've seen my fair share of people covering their faces and necks with color and during these Hair Just Reacts videos, but this is probably one of the worst. She literally colored her entire neck and her forehead with brown dye. How did we manage to do that? Hey guys, so it's the next day. Huh? What? My finished hair. It's a lot darker than I wanted it to be. I wanted it more of like a, my natural color, like a medium brown look. It's nearly black and it's still got bits of red in it from when I've done the red before. It kind of looks like your natural color at the root. Radmondo, any hairdressers that are watching, I'm so sorry. It's not okay. I'm just kidding, it's actually fine. I'm interested to see what it would look like in person because I feel like there's going to be a lot of mist and there's going to be a lot of spotting going on because of the lack of sectioning. However, I actually like the darkness on you. I like it a lot better than the blonde. I don't mind this color. I think adding some highlights in with this brown, some kind of natural sun-kissed highlight would look really good and just bring out the warmth in your skin and make you a little bit more glowy and fresh and just adding dimension to brown hair, I think is always great. Decent job, like I'm glad she at least, well, I mean, not that great of a job, but she literally followed one direction, which is to fill the hair before you go dark from blonde. That's all I can get today. I'm taking it, you know? Let's move on to the next video. My next video is by Esther Perpechkin and this is Dying My Blonde Hair Black. I almost like being myself a haircut. I don't know. I'm dyeing my hair black and giving myself a nice trim. I know there was mixed reviews on this, like some of you were like, no, you're such a beautiful blonde and then some of you guys were like, heck yeah, go for it. I say, heck yeah, go for it. I'm with that team. As you can see, my natural hair is kind of like a light brown, medium brown. So hopefully when it grows out, it doesn't look too bad. I really like her blonde hair. Mmm. I don't know. This blonde's really pretty and her hair looks like it's in great shape. I'm gonna be sad to see it go, but I also love a change. So, you know what I mean? Oh, I love seeing dead ends go. But we're here for the brown today. Okay, I'm gonna put a towel over my back just to make it clean. Wait, you're telling me that they don't recommend to fill your hair first. It's just dark color that you're gonna put over your very light blonde hair. Luckily your hair doesn't look too porous and too dry. So you might get lucky it might not pick up green or end up with a weird, yucky tint to it. I weren't going for it. We're starting on the ends. I mean, I definitely wouldn't do that. I definitely would like section out very, very small slices of hair. That way you know that you're not gonna get any spotting. When it comes from going blonde to really dark brown or black, you really have to be careful because if you miss one little spot, that spot will stick out so much because there's so much lighter than the dark hair. Even if you're really cautious about your application method, sometimes it still happens. So this is definitely gonna have spotting. And we're literally going black right now without feeling, and I'm horrified. It's gonna look so hollow. And if you don't know what that means, like what does hollow mean? It just means that there's like no life to it. There's no depth to the color. And that's probably what's gonna happen. It's probably gonna be more of like a grayish black color. Oh my Lord, this application is so scary. And we're literally painting our face again. Why is our face painted? I am a freaking mess, but I'm going to You guys. All this stuff while I'm waiting. Be careful. Instead of pulling the hair down onto your face while you put the color on, pull it back, you know? You know what I mean? Doesn't that make more logical sense? Is it just me? Is it just me? Oh my God. Oh my God. Such a big difference. But here's my hair, guys. And I don't regret it because I only live once and I need to experience dark with my hair because I feel like I don't do that often. But I will say one thing. It definitely is bringing up my eyes a lot more. She definitely looks gorgeous. Like definitely. You do kind of like the blonde better. And listen, girl, if you're watching this, do whatever makes you happy. It's not about what makes me happy, but I would have liked a color that wasn't so dark. Like, you know, brown, both without being black. Also, definitely the fact that you didn't fill the hair, you're seeing a lot of blue and it's looking a big gray. And that is because the proper steps were not taken in order to achieve this really dark brown color. I don't see much richness to the color or like vibrancy or shininess. Other than that, I think your eyes look gorgeous. You look amazing. Like I feel like I feel sexier in darker hair. I'm into it and I'm happy you're into it and not a very great job with the coloring method though. Let's not do that again. Okay, let's move on to the next video, shall we? Our next video is by Casey and this is called going from blonde to brown at home. Fail, part one. I can't afford to get my hair done anymore. So I'm going to diet brown myself. This is hurting me. Please release me from the pain. Her hair is so pretty. Why are we doing anything? Like I know, like you should just let it grow. Like your roots look fine. Like what? You look like a hair model. Like it looks so good. First time I have to take all these hair extensions out. Oh, oh. They're really grown out. It's hair extensions. I am not that upset anymore. I thought that was her real hair. It actually looked really real. So I got this ion light intense brown. Okay, so we're again, we're not filling the hair. Damn it. Okay, well, whatever. It's a pretty light brown, so she might get lucky. And I'm going to try to keep some like blonde highlights. So I'm literally just going to wrap foil on the pieces that I don't want to dye. And if it doesn't look good, I'll just go back and make it all brown at the end. She wants to keep some highlights, which I think is a great idea. And I think that her hair will look better and more dimensional, and just a little more professionally done if she leaves some of this blonde out. But what she's going to need to do is after she leaves the blonde out, rinses the whole thing, she's going to need to then do a glaze or a toner over the other pre-existing blonde pieces that she left out. Otherwise, it's going to be like a dark brown with a light blonde. And it's going to look way too stripey, I think. We'll see what she does. I really hope this looks good and it's not just a waste of time. Sometimes what stylists will do is use conditioner and paint foils that we don't want to color when bringing somebody from blonde to brown. Okay, we're working our way around. We are coloring the hair brown. And I'm glad she chose like a lighter brown to do. This is looking like a school science project. I'm done. I'm now going to wash my hands and leave it on for 20 minutes. I'm crying. This looks like we left out a lot of hair. Like we are about to have a stripey moment going on. I already know it. I saw the hair dye all over me when I washed my hair. So let's see how it looks. Oh, not bad so far. It doesn't look that bad right now, but it's wet. She needs to dry this because I need to know what this looks like immediately. Oh, and there it goes. All my hopes and dreams gone. Just like that, whoop. Those thing pieces are really, those are strong. Whoa! So hard. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no. No. I should have just done all brown. Yeah. Like this is really bad. Oh no. See, it didn't work out well. When stylists would do this, we would pick a pattern where we're leaving out the blonde pieces and make sure it is the exact same on both sides and make sure, you know, you wouldn't necessarily want to do like the very top of the hair or else you're gonna get like this stripedness. You know, it'd be better if you had a layer of brown covering that left out blonde piece. That would have gave you that more like sun-kiss look. But I hope we're gonna fix this. It's not that bad if you flip it, it's bad. Oh, it's so bad. I'm sorry. I don't really need a lot of hair dye. I don't want to make the brown even darker. I mean, you should really be saturating nicely. This looks like it's dry. Oh God, this is still just... Here we go again. Please look better. Do it around my shirt. What are our first impressions? I can already see where the highlight was. It's brown now, but maybe because I either missed it or because I dyed my hair twice, my hair is darker and so really dark brown. You didn't put enough color on. You did it. Maybe once I add some extensions, I'm hoping they match. I ordered them already. All right, so she bought some extensions and let's see the final look. Okay. I mean, I definitely like it better with the extensions. However, they don't exactly match, but that's okay. You look fabulous, like whatever, you know? Next time, let's just do more research, figure out the best way for you to do this. Maybe ask for some advice from somebody who knows what they're doing. I don't know. Next time, don't do such warm, dark color and also fill your hair before you go dark. There's so many things that could have been done better. So I don't know. Definitely cute at the end, so. Woo! So those videos definitely threw me for a loop today. A lot was done wrong and little done right, but that's okay. We live and we learn, so, oh well.
