 Hi, beautiful. What's going on? Today, we're watching some people go from black hair to orange hair. And if that sounds wild to you, then same. I've only made a handful of people orange in my life. Not something I usually see. People don't really come into the song and ask for orange hair. They actually ask for the opposite. They're like, can you make sure my hair doesn't turn orange? For a select amount of people in this world, they actually want orange hair. And today we're gonna see what all the hypes about for that select group of people. And I actually didn't realize how popular orange hair was until I started searching for it on YouTube. And there was just so many videos. And I'm like, yo, why not just make an entire video about black to orange hair? So today, we're gonna watch a few girls dye their hair from black to orange. I'm scared but excited. Let's do it. So first up, we have Heather DeRoach. And this is called dyeing my hair from dark brunette to intense copper at home. Let's see what happens, Heather. We've been on a bit of a journey with my hair since last year, I think. Have we? What have we done? I uploaded a video dyeing my hair ginger, dyeing my hair for the first time by myself. Since then, I went from ginger to a bright red color, like a deeper red, and then to a really dark brunette. Since then, I've been trying to strip the dark brunette from my hair. And as you can see, it's now like this, well, it's still a dark brown, but it's a bit of a lighter brown color. And I've ultimately made the decision that I want to go back to being a red-haired specific- Yay! I think that'll look really good on her. I'm not the most tanned of complexions. I do have Scottish heritage, so I think I get my paleness and the natural red tinge to my hair from my dad's side of the family. So thank you, Derek, for that. I'm trying to get my hair back to this cut. We got the box size, and the box size, we got it, we got it, great. Previously on my hair to try and get it to that ginger color. But this time round, I want to take it one step further, and I'm going to try and lighten it before putting the red on. Ooh! This bad boy. So, wait, before you all panic, I was already panicking. It's not going to go as light as this lady on the box. No. This product is deep. It's not. It definitely will not get that light. It's basically a lightening product. So this is designed for light to dark brown hair, so my hair color. And it's supposed to take your hair up to eight to nine shades lighter. Now this is my experience of dyeing my hair or having other people dye my hair. Whenever I put a blonde color on it, it's never gone as light as what it has done on the box. Or it would never go straight to this color. It doesn't work like that. To get that light of a color, it's sessions on sessions on sessions, toning, it's bleaching, it's lightening, it's highlighting, it's a lot of stuff. It's not just throwing a box down. If it was that easy, don't you think there would be no hair salers? Don't you think that? Do you literally think we walk into the color room, we mix a box out together and we put it on your head and we just plop it on all for the best? No, it's a lot more than that. What we're going to do, and I'm going to take you on this journey. Take us on the journey. In this video, I won't be sat here looking like this anymore. I hope, but I'm hoping I'm not going to completely ruin my hair. Phase one is going to be to lighten it with this. And then phase two is going to be to ginger it up with this. So this is the Garnier Olio Intense Copa. Well, it's definitely a plan. Is it a good plan? How the f*** no? Is it going to maybe work? Yeah, maybe. Okay, we're mixing up the bleach. Mix it with a spoon. A spoon? I'm going to use a spoon and I've already got the little brush. Here it goes. Here's the application. Well, actually, she is using very small sections. She's starting on her ends and she is not putting enough lightener at all. One day, somebody is going to use enough lightener. I wouldn't even consider that like a coating of lightener. That's literally like just dried out lightener. That's not going to do anything. It needs to be caked on. Come on, man. Cake it on. Okay, oh, that's bright. Okay, I've took the cap off to have a little look. It's so spotted. Very much so at the roots. Obviously, the ends, they're not going to lighten as much. It took me a little while to apply and after applying it, I've left it on for about another half an hour. Just leave it 20 to 90 minutes. I'm not trying to go too blonde because obviously I'm going to put the Intense Copa on. Good idea. They have gone very- They're like see-through. I'm going to rinse this off and we'll see what it looks like underneath. Let me take the clip out actually, one second. Eek! I say. Sorry. It's going to be hard to see it at the minute because the dye's like still on there but you can see it has lightened quite a bit. The roots, very much so. But yeah. Yeah, see, now when you have pre-existing color and you're trying to lighten it again, it's going to be very hard to do because you know, there is already color lodged into the cortex of your hair. Very hard to get that out. It's much easier to get natural pigment out of hair than artificial, unfortunately. It's going to be a struggle. Yeah. It has lightened quite a bit so I'm going to just jump in the shower and just wash this all out, I think. Because this, I don't want to leave on any longer. No, we don't. We want to get the f*** off that head. Okay. Bye. Bye. I missed a crucial step in the application process which said, wait 15 minutes before applying to your roots after you've applied it everywhere else. So. Wait, what? The whole time that box dye that people use all the time literally says to not apply to your roots first. It says apply after you've done your ends and none of y'all read the directions. Nobody reads the directions. Now one person. We have fluorescent blonde roots and then the rest of my hair is like this. Oh. It's an injury color. Okay, so she blue-dry her hair and now we're left with this blonde root, orange mids, red ends. And that's going to be kind of difficult for her to correct unless she's using two different box colors. Well, I wouldn't recommend using box color at all, but if she were to use a darker orange on the top and a lighter orange on the bottom, she would get kind of an even look because we're trying to counteract that lightness going on in her root and bring that way down. You always want to have a darker root with lighter ends. That's what's going to make your hair look nicer and more natural. Not any means, but have lifted the color for me. So hopefully when I put the red on, which I'm going to just do in a minute now because I can't feel sweet on tomorrow. We're putting the orange box dye on now and you don't need that. There's so many lifting agents in box dye that you don't need because you've already lifted your hair with lightener, right? So why are you going to then put a lifting agent on top of already lifted hair when you could just put a toner that has no lifting agents in it and it's just going to bring your hair down with that tone you're looking for. She's applying, girl. She's getting in that in there. We'll see if this is going to be enough to fix everything that's going on right now. I don't know. I have a feeling that the roots are going to be really bright. So we're going to see how that goes. I did leave them for last to do in the hopes they won't be too fluorescent, but I think I've got everything covered. So we will see how it turns out. Once I've washed it out. Okay. I've rinsed out. Oh. Oh. No. Oh. I'm going to go and dry it and see how it looks. I think it's going to be a tiny bit patchy. I'm not. Tiny bit. Girl. It's going to be perfect. All right. I have a feeling that in a few weeks I might have to go back over this again just to try and even out the color a bit more. Yeah. Indeed. But there's a few kind of patches where I don't know if you can see like there and then a few here. To be honest with you, it looks a lot better dry. That's for sure. Patchy, yes. Fixable? Yes. Let's look at it a little bit more and then I'll give you the breakdown. Quite blonde. So what I think I'm going to do is I've gone out and bought another box of the copper. And like I said, my hair is really thick. When it gets damp or when I'm done with my hair it clumps together quite a lot. So, and I put the top because I started from the underneath the top layer obviously went on last. So I think I need to put a little bit more on just to try and really cover this blonde. Okay. So you join me for the finished result of my hair. Let me maybe... Wait, what? Just a little bit. Oh my God. Overall, right. Let me start off with the elephant in the room. It would not curl properly. Possibly because my hair is just too clean. You look stunning with that color. I got rid of some of them dull patches where the color didn't quite take to the blonde yesterday. So overall, it's a lot more of an even color. And I thought I'd come and sit here in front of the light just so you can kind of see it. So yeah, aside from how scraggly my curls are because my hair just didn't want to curl I'm very pleased with the overall result. I'm really happy. It's very bright. Oh my God. Wow. How did we get here? That looks so good. It doesn't even look that patchy. Like I can see a little bit, but honestly I think it looks great. I don't know how we ended up here, but oh my God, her eyes look amazing with this color. Her skin tone looks amazing. She looks healthy. She looks vibrant. She looks like she's glowing. She looks great. I'm so happy for you, Heather. That looks amazing. You pulled it off somehow. I don't know how, but congratulations. All right, let's move on. Up next we have Ruth the Truth. And this video is called Dying My Hair Orange What The F*** Ruth the Truth. Let's see what Ruth the Truth does today. I'm so excited. Like I've been wanting this color for so long. What color? What color? Is it orange? It's orange. A door. You know, I don't really use that color a lot, but we'll see. And this one is 56 Cajun spice. I'm gonna mix them together. I'm gonna get this bomb color. Like it better turn out right this. It better turn out right this one. We'll see. We'll see. What do you develop? Oh, we love my dog, your developer. So we're using BW2, awesome in his battery acid. I mean, I like BW2. It has its applications in life. However, BW2 is pretty much the strongest lightener you can use and 40 volume is also the strongest developer. So that's a lot of strong f*** all in one. It's what I'm saying. I wouldn't use that, but all right. Probably 30 volume would have been better, but we can go with it. Not too bright, not too dark. Oh my God, I didn't explain it. Like a burnt orange brown. Oh, okay. I feel like you're gonna get lighter than that, but okay. And my head is looking real hot. Right now I'm just taking my hair. Okay, so we are beginning with very dark hair, right? She's at a level four. Looks like her natural hair color, so that's good. At least we're starting with her natural hair color. It's a good palette to work with. Also, her hair is very curly, clearly very dry. And we're using 40 volume developer with a B2A2. Okay, so she's mixing that f*** together. She's sectioning her hair out. She's getting ready to apply it. And we're just going in. There's no technique. They're just going in. We are avoiding the scalp, are we? Are we? Oh, we are! We love that. You know why, guys? Because the heat from the scalp's process is no color is faster. But we really need to just be taking out sections that are smaller than that, please. Next time, let's do a little smaller section. And she's gone blind. Great. I think I'm just gonna cry while I do this. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, that's so not good. That should not be that strong. Take sections next time. Ruth, the truth, needs to take sections, the truth. Oh, wow, okay. So, we are developing, we are processing. It is looking quite blonde, actually. Does it look spotty? F***, yes. Does Ruth the truth care? Yeah, probably. The processing cap is gonna make the heat stay and make sure the light doesn't dry out. It's gonna be great. So, I'm just gonna sit here and I'm gonna say, talk about bombages. I just wanna sit in the camera right now because, because, I look so bomb. Me. I'm so scared because I'm really so tempted to cut my hair. Cut it. But I'm finna just say, forget it. End it all. So, I had this done for a good minute. I probably should have washed it out like a couple of minutes ago. But, I'm letting it look good to me. What is this look you're talking about? What bomb-ass look do you have going on right now? You have lightened her in your hair. It's not that bomb-looking. I'm sorry, girl. My roots took the bleach better than the ends because- Ah! Ah! I'm fresh. I'm gonna put more Cajun spice than cinnamon. Normally, I would be like, holy sh**. I would say she's screwed at this point. But, here's the catch today. She is trying to go orange and her hair is orange. When you're trying to go orange, you don't wanna lift your hair past the orange state because why would you do that? Because you're trying to go orange. So, you don't want your hair to be white or else when you put the orange on, it'll fade really fast and you'll end up with blonde hair. You wanna just lift the hair to the orange state and then put the orange toner over it. So, this is actually really good that her hair is still really orange because she's going for orange. However, the roots definitely over-processed. But, you know, you win some, you lose some. Red or dark blue? I think that'll be a good color. I'm actually really hopeful for this. I feel like it's gonna go very well. I feel like this is gonna look really good. I'm glad she's starting with her root. That way, those process longer than her ends because her roots are really yellow and light and you wanna let that color stand out the longest because that'll darken it the most. And it's always nicer to have a darker root and lighter ends rather than a darker ends and lighter root. That just doesn't look natural or right. This, I feel like, is going to be really good, actually. Her hair doesn't look that compromised. Her wave pattern is still intact. I promise it looks more orange in person. Like, this camera makes it look red. It looks orange. Okay, she washed it off and now we're gonna see what's going on. Okay, I wanna see it dry but her ends definitely look darker than her roots. But, we're getting a little bit of a Cheeto vibe going on. I'm not gonna lie, so. It still looks different, like, with this light. It looks good. I just wish she was a little bit darker so far. I like it. I do. I just wish the roots were darker. I'm gonna post some pictures because, like, for real, for real, it looks so different, like, in a mirror and in person than on camera. Okay. Okay. It's more of a red vibe on camera and I don't like that. I mean, at least she loves it. Am I obsessed with it? No. Ruth the truth. Listen, you did a good job. Was it a great job? No. We have definitely done a bit of a dark root. Yes, what? Again, you win, some you lose, some I'll take it. You didn't totally bot your hair, so that's good. All right, our next video is by Lubia Combo. Wow, the names just get harder and harder. This video is called Back to Orange Hair in Less Than 24 Hours. Hi, welcome to my channel. My name is Yubia. Just a couple people. Yubia. To how I got my hair from black to copper orange hair in less than 24 hours. We're using BW2 and 30 volume and fairy abox dye and main and tail shampoo. Great. Great. I mean, 30 volume and BW2 sounds fine, actually. Fairy abox dye, not so much. Okay, and her hair is very dark. Looks like it's been colored before, so we're lifting out pre-existing color. And hopefully she can get it light enough. Or is that all our real hair? No way, no way. No way, it's extensions. Okay, great. And her hair is broken. Perfect. And now we're gonna color it orange. Oh my God, wow. Literally her entire head was extensions. Oh my God, what? This is bringing me back to high school when every girl would have like one inch of hair and the rest is extensions. So we're mixing the lightener and 30 volume and we are getting ready to apply that. And now she's putting main and tail shampoo in. So she is actually just doing a bleach bath. I don't think a bleach bath is gonna be enough to lighten her really dark hair to orange. I mean, I don't really just see the point of doing a bleach bath like this. Actually, the title is back to orange in less than 24 hours. So she did probably just put like a permanent color over orange hair last night. If the color molecules haven't really like set in fully, then she might be able to get it out with a bleach wash. Also, I mean, what happens when you put shampoo in bleach is it actually just dilutes it. So she's gonna bring that 30 volume down to like a 20 volume probably. And it'll probably still work. I don't know how much of that black she's really gonna get out. 30 minutes in the clock. Let's see what happens. Oh, it actually lightened all light. Oh my God, her poor hair though, oh my God. And she's going orange girl, like bright orange. I'm actually excited for this. I feel like this is gonna be pretty good for her. Okay, so she's using four different colors. It looks like one's purple, one's red, two orange. I don't know, that's a lot of box dye. Would have definitely liked her to use a toner instead of permanent color over her already damaged lightened hair. Pointless to keep damaging it. You could actually just make it healthier with some toner instead of using permanent color. But who cares, right? I don't know. At least she's going in precisely and she's hitting all the spots. I actually think this is gonna look really quite amazing on her. We're coloring her way, we're coloring her way. We're coloring her hair. We're doing it, we're doing it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, color it away. 30 minutes in the clock. Let's see what happens. Yes, oh my God. I mean the extensions obviously really help the situation. I'm so surprised at how much they blend. But her color looks great. I really like the orange more on her than the black. It adds to that punk rock feel that she has. It's just like fun on her, I don't know. I really like the orange. I really like the orange a lot. I actually really like orange hair after watching this video. Great job, Lubia. Lubia? Lubia? Great job. You look amazing, wow. And your complexion looks so beautiful and healthy with that orange hair. I love it. All right you guys. So those were some iconic black to orange hair transformations. We saw a lot of good stuff happen. We saw some bad stuff happen, but mostly pretty good actually. I mean, most of the time, people end up accidentally making their hair orange when they lighten it. So this was fine because they were like, oops, I made it orange and oops, I actually wanna be orange, so it's fine. It ended up working out for all of them. They look great. I'm happy with all these transformations. Nothing was really like too bad for me to be like, oh my God, like, what happened there? It's a good day here at the Mondo household.
