 Hi, beautiful, thank you for being here today. We're gonna watch some videos together because that is what we love doing the most. Spending our Sundays, or Mondays, or Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays, Saturdays, together, watching people destroy their hair, slash make their hair look unbelievably amazing all on their own. So let's do it. Today I'm gonna be doing X-Mondo colors in garnets. I'm gonna be dyeing my natural hair because I watched his video of him trying to get dark brown hair. Yeah! All right, so I mean, I think the title says it all, but we're watching people color their natural hair without bleaching it at all, a color from the rainbow. Okay, so we got some purple here, and not just purple, it's garnet. Garnet is one of my newest colors. Garnet is this super deep, pigmented, rich purple color. And of course we named it after the gemstone garnet. This is our garnet gemstone, and this is the color. It is magical, and it's going to look so freaking good on this buzz cut. There's not a lot of things I love more than a colorful buzz cut. It looks sick every time. If I didn't have to test products on my hair constantly, I would have shaved my head already, but I must test products, and I must have a head of hair to do that. And we come out more and more than as we go because they just have the most payoff. They're so much fun to create because you guys always love the darker, deeper, purples, reds, pinks, blues. Everything that's really deep toned tends to look incredible on everybody, plus you can use it on darker hair. So we're about to see what happens when she uses garnet on her non-bleached hair. We'll see what happens. So first what I'm doing is Saran wrapping my hand because I didn't have gloves, and I did not know this was a heck, okay? Listen, that definitely will work if you have very short hair. Guys, if you buy my color, the only thing you need is gloves. That's it, okay? I made sure you didn't have to need a bowl or a brush, and you didn't need to be a professional hairdresser to use this stuff. It's very, very easy to use, very simple. Right out of the jar, pick, you'll see it in a sec. I don't want to explain it, but you just need gloves, okay? Because this will stain your hands, and it won't be fun and it won't look good, and you will have it on your hands for a while, and we don't want that, and it's just not a good look. Now I am dyeing my hair. As you see, I'm trying out the different lighting settings, but it's kind of hard to see no matter what I did for the lighting settings because my hair is so dark. I can't see shit. It looks a little purple, but this is the thing with the very dark colors. It's kind of mysterious. It's like, ooh, what's gonna happen? What's gonna be the vibe? Because they're so, so dark. It almost looks like black, but when you rinse it off, the magic happens, okay? So this is good. This is a good sign that it's very dark. It'll be okay. And that is me just rubbing it in, getting it all up in there. I tried to speed through some of this footage because I ended up having to bleach my hair. So I'm just showing you how I did it. I massaged it in my head, and it kind of turned out like this chestnut red, brownie color. Okay. This is turning out different than I expected. I expected it to really work on her dark hair. However, maybe I was a little bit too optimistic. Listen, we do not directly create these colors to be used on natural dark hair. However, a lot of them do work, but this is the reality of it. Her hair was clearly very healthy and very low on the porosity scale. So my permanent colors are probably not gonna stick to it. If your hair is a little more on the damaged side or the dry side, and it's a little bit less dark than this, you're gonna get more color payoff. So it all depends on the person and the hair you're starting with, but this is realistic results, and it looks great. And people always ask me what's gonna happen if they use X-Moto color on darker hair. This is a realistic result. I do really like this color. You see how it kind of tinted her hair? It did not lift her hair color because it is not permanent color and it does not lift, but it did change the overall tone of your hair. Also, one other thing to consider is if your hair is on the healthier side, it will tend to wash out a little bit quicker than if your hair is more porous. So keep that in mind. The more you wash it, the more it will fade. But that is what we like about sign of permanent color is that it's easy to switch out when you wanna change things up. And if you're like me, I wanna change things up all the time. So I love a sign of permanent color. So I don't have to commit to anything and I can do really cool stuff with my hair. Well, I used to. I'm in my kind of natural phase right now, but... I thought it was pretty cute, but I kind of wanted a more vibrant look to it, but maybe I didn't apply enough of it. So I guess we're gonna see her also bleach her hair and then put on the color too. So this is cool. We're gonna see even bigger transformation. You guys get to kind of compare how it looks on darker hair versus bleached hair. So next I'm going in with the Salon Care in the developer 20 and the quick blue powder bleach. Wrap up my hand again. I'm so glad we went with 20 volume because our hair is so short and really close to her scalp. That means you're gonna get a lot of heat from the scalp. You're not gonna need a 30 volume or a 40 volume to get a really light result. 20 volume is perfect for this case because she has barely any hair on her head. You can apply this within like 20 seconds. Okay, maybe not 20 seconds, like five minutes and get it all on there quickly and everything will process at the same amount of time. And you don't have to worry about certain things over-processing or under-processing. So this is a great choice. I love it. We're doing a great job today. And here I go with the bleach. I did not have any brushes, so I smooshed it in my hair, but I figure since my hair is so short that I can just use my hand and it'd be fine. That is totally fine. I approve you using your hands for bleaching that very short hair. The only thing I would recommend is using a fine-tuned comb on hair this short. It's kind of hard to get on every little strand when the hair is this short. So using a fine-tuned comb going through and then reapplying over that combed hair is always the best idea to ensure extremely perfect coverage. We are going in there with precision work. We are putting this lighter on every single hair strand and I love to see it. We're putting our little Saran wrap glove to work and it is effective and I love it. I'm getting excited because this is gonna be even brighter than what she has now, obviously. Pre-lightening your hair before using Garnet is gonna give you the ultimate best results and we're about to see the vibes. And whenever it gets to this length of me growing out a buzz cut, I feel like it just gets so boring and I need to add some color to it. This is probably the eighth time I've shaved my head. Yeah, so I'm wrapping it with Saran wrap, hopefully trying to insulate the heat. It's a great idea that she put a bag or Saran wrap over her head when this was processing because it's gonna create a hotter environment, a more steamy, humid environment that is great for lightener and a great for getting brighter results and faster results. And then it's at this yellowy color, so I'm like, that's gonna be fine because it's a red, so. Okay, so her hair definitely turned out a little bit yellow. I would have liked it to be a little bit more pure, blonde, blonde, white, not white, but less yellow. She said it's a more red color. It definitely has red tones in it, but Garnet is just a deep purple. It's super deep, very extravagant, royal purple. I don't know how else to explain that. So if you want the most pure, clear results and just as it's depicted on the website with swatches, you're gonna wanna lighten your hair to a really blonde color, but this is still gonna look beautiful. Also, her hair looks to be wet, which I would not apply this color to wet hair. If you want more longevity out of the color and you want a more vibrant color, apply it dry. And there goes the satisfying color. Oh yeah, right up in there. Oh, I'm so excited. This looks amazing already. It's like this dark red. It's so rich and it actually did smell amazing and there were little sparkles in it. Yeah, you know I put sparkles in it. I mean, come on. You want a fun experience when you're coloring your hair, right? You want it to smell good. You wanna feel good. You want your hair to be better quality, post-coloring. You want some bomb booster in there. A little ethically sourced sparkle in there. And I did it for you. I put the sparkle in there. I know you people who watch my videos would follow me by my color. I know you're just like me. You know, anything that sparkles makes me happy in life. I don't give a fuck what's tacky. I was shopping the other day and I was producing the aisles and every time I saw something sparkly, I was like, fuck, I want that on my body. But the items that were sparkly in that store were like $7,000. I was not about to spend $7,000 on a sparkly top. Okay, but I will find something else with sparkles and I will wear it. Who else likes sparkles? Comment down below. So it was pretty amazing getting it all in there and you can really just apply it like a conditioner. Just get it all up in there. Okay, she's right. It is a little bit red. I honestly guys, sometimes I forget exactly what tone these colors are until I see it again. I work on so much stuff all year round that like my brain is in 2026 right now. Okay, 2026 products. It's like a purple slash red color. There we go. All right, but it's gonna be even more red on her because she has yellow in her hair still. So the yellow with the purple it's just gonna be a little more red tone. And as you can see from the back I didn't really bleach it that even. Obviously you can see my neck here is a different color but the color ended up being pretty dark on my head. So you couldn't tell that much that I missed any spots. And I wanted to do this color because it is coming into the fall time and I wanted something to more to stand out with. You know, kind of wanna look like a fall leaf falling from a tree. I love that idea. It is spring right now. Currently I'm filming this video and I am just seeing all the leaves and the flowers start to blossom around me and I am inspired to do something to my hair. She's making me want a buzz cut, a colorful buzz cut so badly but the colors outside right now are so ready. I need to create a line of colors that are just directly related to spring and like the flowers I see. Be kind of fun. And this is the finished product. I was really happy with how it turned out and I feel like it makes my face glow more. So yeah, 10 out of 10 recommend. Ah! Oh my God, I love you. You look incredible. That looks so awesome on your hair. Honestly, like the bleach version and the non-bleach version look pretty similar. I think you could have even got away with just not doing the bleach. It looks beautiful either way. Super vibrant. I wish we had a little full 360 of that. I wanted to see more of it. But I love that color on you and yeah, you do definitely look healthier with that color like it really brings out the natural undertones in your skin and you just look warm and vibrant and inviting and just like gorgeous. This is why I love color. It can just bring out life in your skin and in your literal life and bring over so much confidence to your life every time we create a new color. I hope it inspires more confidence in people and that's always the eagle. Hey, I'm actually gonna be using Brad Mondeau's super purple hair dye. It definitely lives up to its name, that's for sure. So starting off, she has insanely gorgeous hair. It is so thick. Oh my gosh, I think it's her natural color but maybe it was like a little bit bleached out by the sun. This is a great scenario because obviously when your hair is a little bit lightened by the sun, it's probably more dry and more porous plus you have those lighter pieces to really pick up on that color. So she's still gonna get a lot of color payoff without having to lighten the hair even more than what it is right now. I can't wait to see this. So in case you guys don't know the history of my hair so I've, because obviously you can tell like this is a little bit more red in this lighting than up here. Like two and a half years ago, I did high lift color and then dyed it teal. About a year and a half ago, I dyed it blonde and then like nine months ago, I dyed it red and then it faded super fast because I used X-Mondeau hair color and didn't realize it was steady permanent and I was looking for something that lasted longer. I went and actually got some box dye. It was pleasantly surprised by how well that turned out. I'll put a picture right there. And then I let that fade and I went back to like blonde because that's what will underneath all my hair color. And then I dyed it pink but like barely showed up. Okay. There's a lot more going on here than I thought there was gonna be. So her hair is sort of natural. I mean, it's been many months since she's colored it. So like the top half has her natural color and the bottom half has a bit of pre-lightened color going on from nine months ago covered in box dye. So this color has got a lot of work to do, okay? We got this, bro. She is using super purple. So it is one of our darkest colors and that is great. Whenever you're doing something over already existing colored hair or darker hair, you're gonna wanna go with the darkest and permanent color possible. So I watched two brand Mondeau videos. So here's one and then here's another. And I also have a whole list of notes that I took. Yes. You win today. You took notes, you watched videos. I hope the notes were correct. I didn't look that closely at them. And you know what? I don't wanna look that closely at them because I'd rather be pleasantly surprised when you do everything right, right? I'm shocked when it's wrong. I don't know. I don't use this section of my hair when I'm doing hair color simply because I don't really see the point in it because then I know if brand Mondeau sees this it's gonna be like so disappointed in me. It's just like, it's hair color. It's not bleach. Bleach is much more specific and that can ruin your hair super fast. Listen, I hear you and I understand why you're saying you don't section it. However, yeah, bleach is definitely more serious but, but, but, but, but, even when we're using side permanent color we wanna section just so that we know we got it on every single hair strand. It is so easy to miss hair when you take a big clump of your hair and just put color on it. I swear, it's so hard to get every single hair strand that way. But if you don't really care about it being even then just apply it however you want to. I'm just telling you how to do things to get the best results. But again, it's up to you. It's up to you, the creator. You hold the results in your hands. With hair color, I'm just like, yeah, you split it in half. You're like, good to go. But I was watching his videos and he said you want to try and split it in half and then, let me see if that one's up in the middle part. You wanna try to split it in half and then in half again. Hell yeah, that's what I said. Quadrants, baby, four of them. I don't think a quadrant can mean less than four, can it? Quadrants is four. So I went ahead and split it in half and that's what it looks like from the back. It's not the best section I've ever done. Okay, that's a lot more purple than I thought it was gonna be. Oh man, okay. Ha ha ha ha ha. It's called super purple. You think I would lie to you and not make it super fucking purple? No, I would never. It's gonna be the most purple thing you've ever seen your whole life. I guarantee it. It's so pretty. It's got glitter in it. And I'm just gonna put it on. Wow, okay. Whoa. Oh my God, this is gonna be a dramatic change. That's like a lot more vibrant than I was expecting it to be. What do you mean it was a lot more vibrant? Did you see our pictures on the website? It's vibrant as fuck. We are definitely getting it on the top of the head, right? Definitely, for sure. And where that part is. That is definitely the most important part. You know, I agree with you. However, I'm a little worried about all that hair in between here. It's like we're applying to the surface, but not inwards. And once you apply this thicker hair color, by the way, the thickness is so that it doesn't drip on the floor or get all over your balls and shit. So we made it thicker to be more user-friendly. We really think about everything and I listen to you guys. But because it's thicker, you gotta work section by section. And you know, it's not gonna seep through all the different layers by itself. You successfully got it all over your face, which, you know, I'm expecting at this point because I hardly ever watch a video where people do not get color all over their face. I wish I could help you with that. I wish I could find a way to make you guys stop coloring your faces, but it just doesn't seem to be happening like that. Okay, so I'm gonna go rinse my hair out. I just laid with my doggy for like 45 minutes, 15 minutes. I'd rather leave it in longer than not. And I know that some of you guys might be like, it's gonna dry your hair out or mess it up for leaving in too long. But at the same time, Brad Mondo's hair products have a whole bunch of proteins in it. So I'm not entirely concerned leaving it on for almost an hour. Don't be concerned. You can leave it on as long as you want, really. 20 minutes is what we recommend. But you're not going to damage your hair by leaving it on longer. You just might get more pigmentation from the color. It is filled with proteins and bond boosters, shine ingredients and hydration ingredients. So your hair is gonna be better post-coloring. Hey guys, so this is the final result of my hair. It is so vibrant. It's absolutely insane. Ah, the matching nails and the makeup and the hair. Oh, and my hair looks and feels amazing. As I mentioned in the beginning of the video, it was so dead because of the bleach. And then you look at it now. It looks so healthy. It looks so shiny. Like this is probably the best I've seen my hair since it was my natural like virgin hair. It doesn't even look like the same hair texture. What? This is probably the prettiest purple I have ever seen in my life. Oh, it's so pretty. Brad Mondo, you completely outdated yourself. I definitely recommend X-Mondu color to anyone who's looking to dye their hair in a normal color. I'm shocked. I'm shook. I love you. Your hair looks incredible. You look amazing with purple hair. I love this color on you. You're right. Your hair does look so much better quality wise. And I am so happy. You loved it as much as I love it. This is your color, girl. Especially with that makeup, absolutely killing it. I feel like, I mean this in the nicest way possible is now even better color. But the color before was kind of washing you out a little bit and kind of was blending with your skin. And now this is really bringing out the vibrancy and the pinker tones in your skin. And you just look all around so much cooler, you know? Like so cool. If you love me and you love X-Mondu color and you love X-Mondu hair, you know, give me a like or a comment or both or a subscribe. I don't ask a lot for them. If you like hair just reacts, give this video a like. Thank you. I appreciate it very much. And I told you, you are stunning and beautiful. And I love you so very much. Broke freeze. This looks like a bed pan. It is. How long am I gonna be here? Wow. Would you look at that? It's this purple. It's your favorite. Okay. A lot has just happened in the past 30 seconds. So she's dyeing her boyfriend's hair. Her boyfriend has natural sort of like gingery brownish hair. I think it's hard to see in here guys. I complain every week now. This surface has made things a little bit brighter and I can't see anything. But it looks good on camera for you. This is gonna be interesting. She's doing kind of like, I think she's doing purple on his like more orangy toned hair. So the purple will be a little bit warmer obviously. I told the lady at Sally's I'm dyeing my boyfriend's hair and she was like, bitch. Some people can be so rude. I think she thought we were just going through stuff. Like this is how we spice up our love life? Yeah. There it is again. Right in the eye. No way. Super blue. Why? I'm thinking of doing like a mixture. Purpley blue? Yeah, but not like that. Like stripes. Like a zebra. But like an EDM one. I gotta tell you guys, I wasn't listening to much they just said because I was just thinking how cool it is that I get to make things. And then it goes in your house and you put it on your head. And it's just the coolest thing ever. And I'm so grateful. So thank you for allowing me to do that and living my ultimate dream. I'm the luckiest person ever. Sorry, they're doing like stripes. Is that what they just said? Okay. This is gonna be very different. But this part of your hair is gonna be completely blue. Either that or pink. I didn't wanna make you look like a gender reveal though. Oh, that smells so good. Hold your tub. Not edible, right? Not edible. Who wants an X-Mondo fragrance? If anybody owns X-Mondo, watching this video currently, comment below and let me know if you want a fragrance version because I'm down. Down as fuck. It smells so good. And I tend to wear my oils on my wrists because I love this scent so much. And we worked very hard perfecting that scent. And it is literally done at the same place that your favorite perfumes are made. So I'm very passionate about fragrance. It's cool. It's so cool to start the shower. It's super blue. We might need some rain wrap. Does it say aggressively rub into? It's implied. She's doing it like a hairdresser would, you know? You know, aggressively rub that thing into your scalp, into your damp skin. Okay, we gotta get it really deep in there. The thing is, when you're dying short hair like this, or so I've heard because my aunt is a hairdresser, you know her. Because your hair's so short, you kinda have to dig into it like that to really surround and like coat the follicle. Ah, yeah. That is exactly what you do. Great job. Such good advice. What's that one thing Bob Ross does? Speak the down line. I'm doing good. Oh, right into the beard. Thank you. We should do your beard. You should have. I was just saying the same thing. You should color the beard. Please tell me they colored the beard. Oh, babe. I'm sorry, they were stuck. You're the worst. So I've never done this before. I'm gonna do this side blue because if it touches the side hair, then it's okay. Oh, on the way to the roots. You don't want your roots showing. You don't want to be that girl. Okay, so another thing with my color is that you can put colors right next to each other, lay them on top of each other and they will not bleed into each other. Sometimes with like a yellow or an orange, it's a little bit risky, but with darker colors like this, I can pretty much guarantee that they will not run into each other. And I've even done it with yellow and they don't run into it. Because they have that thicker consistency, it tends to really grab on the hair and not slide anywhere. So the colors do not mix. But also if you want them to mix, they're really easy to mix and blend with your fingers. You just want it. You know, they're not gonna do it on their own. She's doing super blue, super purple, super blue, super purple. That is gonna look so cool. I think over his more gingery brown hair, it might not be a super drastic difference between the two colors, but it's still gonna look very, very interesting. I don't know, I'm excited to see the results because I really don't know what's gonna happen here. This is from Brad Mondo. It sure is. We like Brad Mondo. We love Brad Mondo. He never replies to any of my videos, even though I've done extensive great videos about hair dyeing. You've only done one. But it was good enough to get his attention. Clearly, it wasn't though. I feel like I've seen you guys before. Have I not? I'm so sorry if I haven't. And hi, I love you guys too. And thank you so much for making any kind of content of my color. I appreciate it a lot. And I love watching it. And I feel, I don't know, I've seen, I've definitely seen your videos. So this one is gonna be blue. It's dinner ready. Does it feel right? No. Okay, so we're done. Completely? No. There's some on your beard. I feel like I could do the rest of my fingers. Get into it. Okay, this one will be purple and this one will be blue. It's making me tired. So I'm relaxing you. Uh-huh. Ooh, it's coming along. We are making progress. And we got those stripes of the purple like she imagined. And the vision is coming to life. Reveal your hair. Okay. Babe, it's time to give her purple. What a pet look. What does that look like to you? Uh-oh, take your wavy. So it definitely turned out pretty purple all around. Like I was worried about. I think that doing the two colors next to each other on hair that is not pre-lightened was just risky. So it ended up being all purple. And it is so vibrant. I don't understand how it came out this vibrant. Honestly, I was not expecting this kind of vibrancy with just my color over non-pre-lightened hair. It just goes like Stonehenge. Babe, you look like one of those guys that's like on the posters of barber shops, the hot ones. I like it. Thanks, babe. I like it a lot. I think it's the only one. This looks awesome. I love this purple tone. I actually love it with the orange beard because I don't know, it's like cool and warm. And it's just like so contrasty. And you pretty much never see people do that. It is a very bold, very daring look and only somebody like this man could pull it off. Like the confidence is just next level. Hello, welcome to Hot Topic. What can I help you with? Hey, you wanna go to Taco Bell real quick? Cause I have to go to work. My favorite bands are A Day to Remember.

If you want the best, best, best results when using X-Men of color, you're gonna wanna preline your hair. However, if you're okay with the color not being as vibrant, but you want kind of a fun little change that is very temporary, definitely you can go in on your darker hair.
