I have never bleached my hair myself before. We have a girl with completely no experience, and she's gonna bleach the very front pieces of her hair that everybody sees. Sounds terrible. My hair is purposely very dirty, by the way, because I planned for this. I'm not expecting it to fall out. She's not expecting it to fall out, but we shall see. We have my trusty, well bleached. We're just gonna try it on our own first. Is that too much? I feel like this is like the perfect amount. Okay, so to me, a money piece is not like a skunk stripe or like e-girl highlights. Like to me, a money piece is like more blended, not as thick, not as contrasting, but what she's doing right now is she is picking out a lot of hair, and I just feel like she's going to douse bleach on it, which is just not a good idea. It's going to look a little crazy. This is how much we're gonna bleach. I'm just questioning on how I'm about to get my roots and not get them anywhere else. And she said she's doing her roots. Okay, so yeah, this is gonna be completely bleached. Girl, I don't know. It could look cute still, but I don't think it's a money piece like you're wanting. Okay, okay, okay, okay. This is fine. It's a very small section. I'll accept it today. I'm glad you're putting a heavy amount of light on there. Your hair looks like it has a lot of different colors going on and you're gonna need a lot to get that lightened. And yeah, I hope she does the mids and ends first and not the roots. I mean, she didn't do the roots first yet, but you know, she's probably moving up there very soon. I'm not gonna get all the way up to my roots because Brad Mondo told me not to. I changed the world with that one. Don't do the roots first. Brad Mondo told you not to. I want to be sure I'm using enough bleach. That's why I'm like absolutely coating my hair in it. I feel like you just didn't mush it and squish it and do everything to get all that lighter on every single strand of your hair. I feel like it might still be fine because the lightener expands and it tends to get all those little missed areas. So it could be fine. I'll put it on my roots. Let's not fold a foil like that. The point is to keep the air out of it and the air is in there. All right, you need to squish it and lay it flat and get it nice and just put one foil and another foil and then fold it. You don't need to like crumple a damn foil on our head. I don't know when to put it on my roots. One of that like halfway done. Okay, don't put it on your roots until your hair is yellow. That is a huge mistake. Like you only want to leave it on your roots for the last like 15 minutes, 20 minutes depending how dark your hair is naturally. It's time to do my roots. And we're just going to place it my finger because I feel like it'd be easier. This foil is hanging on for dear life. Just take the foil out and apply the roots. Like what are you doing with the foil still in your hair? What is that? The tapping technique? I love it. Things happened. Things went wrong. Things went right. How do we miss so many spots, girl? What? Unless it was the color she previously had on her hair that's just like not wanting to come out. But I doubt it. I feel like she definitely missed those spots. That technique was brutal, man. So we're gonna do a second round of bleach. Okay, she's going in again with another round of bleach but I think it's a good idea because her hair is not light enough. I'm now going to tone it. T14, not T18. And then everybody thinks like T14 is gonna solve their problems more than T18 is. No, they're both good products. They're fine products. Nobody ever has light enough hair to use them. But anyways, her hair is still not light enough and it's so uneven. What is that? I'm hoping this is gonna pull the whole thing together. But like I said, I don't know if that's gonna happen or not. I'm gonna pop that in. Oh, for the best. So this is what we're working with. It's really rough. From the front it looks okay, I guess. It's not harsh except for up there. It's not harsh. Everything about that is harsh. It is like right in the front of your head. What happened to blending? You know what I mean? Like why? It's also a bit discolored in some spots. You know what I mean? It's a little bit splodgy. It's a rather strange tone to blonde but she's not done. She's not done. We'll see. Hey guys, it's a couple of days later. Guess what I'm about to do. If you guess bleach my hair, you'd be correct. Not happy with this. I decided that it would be a great idea to bleach my whole head. And now we're bleaching her whole head. All right, it turned from money piece to e-girl highlights to bleaching our entire head real quick. Honestly, I was like, whoa, calm down. Are we starting with two random pieces in the back of your head? Glad we're starting at the bottom of our hair. But what are those two pistrands? I'm obviously not going to bleach my two front pieces again, because I feel like that would be stupid. Like how am I even supposed to know if I'm getting all of it? I just used three packets of bleach on my head. There's bleach everywhere. I haven't done my roots. I haven't done my two front pieces, obviously. Okay, you not only didn't do your roots, but you also didn't do like the midsection of your hair. The heat from your scalp only goes about an inch down from your scalp. So you need to go a little bit higher than that. Leave out that much at your root, but not this much. Cause then it's still going to be uneven and crazy. But I mean, I guess I'll take it even though it's just not great. Is he had to run to Sally's to get more bleach because this is not going to be enough cause I still have to do all my roots. So obviously last time I talked to you is he was going to go get more bleach. Well, there's an accident and so she's been gone for 45 minutes. So I had to wash the bleach out of my head. It was starting to itch and I muted it out. No! She doesn't even have enough light in her to do her entire head and she can't get any more. That's the worst. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not freaking out that bad. There's some pieces that are like really dark, which I'm going to go over and I'm missing my roots. My hair doesn't feel that bad, but like there's not a lot of hair coming off like you can barely see any. So it's a great sign. Well good, we're not losing any hair. So that makes me happy, but it's looking crazy. How is it all going to come together? The patterns in which people all over the world color their hair is just mind boggling. Like just get some organization to it. Horizontal sections or vertical even. I'll take vertical. But the zigzag sectioning, I don't know. It seems like more annoying to do that. I'm not getting it. I just washed it out of my hair. We're going to see what we have. I'm nervous. This has been an all day affair. Oh yeah. I'm not completely sure. Kyle's is going to turn out because I don't know if it lifted enough, but we will soon find out. I missed a spot. Oh, shit. You didn't miss one spot. There is spots everywhere. Oh. It is a little gummy. You can see this. That's just like coming out. Her hair is falling out a bit. We're just going to put toner everywhere. I think it goes in for half an hour. Oh, why? We're going to need a good root shadow at this point to make everything blend together better and cover those spots that were missed. And then the ends need like a good level eight or seven on them. Like this just needs to be brought down. It's all a little bit too light and orangey. It's pretty wild. Hey guys, it's the next day. So I want to show you the finished product. Don't expect much. This is what I'm going to tell you. So it's yellow in a lot of places. I missed some brown up there, but it's not very good. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I haven't done that hair video in a while. No, that was so bad. It was so stressful. I want you to fix it. I don't want you to have to live your life like this. It's not, no. Tone it well. Give yourself a root shadow. Do something. God, throw some lowlights in there. Just blend it or what would be really easy is to just do like a sign of permanent color over everything like a purple, a pink, a blue or anything. Like you could probably do most colors over that and it would look fine and everything will kind of blend together nicely. So I hope the hair situation is better now, but that was rough. Up next is a video by Alana Petrel. What you will need, powder bleach. Oh, so this is a tutorial, huh, Alana? If you're gonna give it a tutorial style, it better be good. Since that's a powder bleach, I'm gonna be using a developer. All right, we got some 40 volume and some powder lightener. She definitely doesn't need 40 volume. I would say 20 or 30 would be fine, but go off. I might get a little sizzle sizzle on that hair, but we'll see. This is the powder and the developer mix. That is the thickest consistency of lightener I've ever seen. I don't even know how you're gonna get that on your hair. It's gonna be like peanut butter. Let's go for more of like a yogurt consistency next time. My roots are super dark. That's my regrowth of what's coming in. So we're gonna make this area super blonde again, bringing it all the way down. Her hair looks so pretty right now. I'm kind of sad she's touching it. I don't mind the root on her. I do think a little money piece moment would look really cute, but I feel like she's gonna make it so damn thick and I feel like it's gonna look so nuts. I never see people do this well. I don't. Take like an inch back, maybe. Ooh, I already feel like I'm gonna regret that. As you can see, my hair is super thin right here. Oh, we are doing the entire side. I think that's good to do, but the thing is if she puts it all up to the root, all around her hairline, it's gonna be so bright. Like on this bottom section, it should be less towards the hairline. You know, it can't all just be like light. There has to be a kind of rhyme and reason for things. I'm just gonna go for it. I'm gonna keep it closer at the root. Maybe I should have used tinfoil. Okay, that's one way of doing it. We are gonna get some bright highlight in the front. It's gonna be so streaky and crazy. I don't know. Guys, why are we all so gentle with a lightener? Get it in there, girl. It's mushing around. Go, everybody's like tapping it and just like very lightly. Be a little more aggressive. Get a brush. Now we're gonna do the front section here. Again, like I mentioned, I'm only gonna go like bright here-ish just until it brightens up and then I can put some on the ends. Put some on the what? Put some on the what? The ends? Not the ends. I always notice too, hairdressers like never actually go like right to the root. It's like just before. I mean, it depends what service you're getting done, but when you do foils, you know, you can't always get it up right to the root. Oh, God. So much overlapping going on with the existing blonde. She's just gonna cause her hair so much unwanted damage. Section the hair out. Why are we only doing the outer layer of everything? Get in there. This side is already lifting. Like my hair lifts so quickly that was literally five minutes. Well, you put 40 volume in your hair. It's gonna be blonde. I don't know. I'm kind of tempted to put a little bit on the bottoms of my hair just to brighten it up a little bit. At this point, why not? Just go for it, girl. Just do it. I'm closing my eyes. And I did see my hairdresser go like this once where you like brush your hair and then just like tease it. Now I'm really just going for it. I don't think your hairdresser did it like that. And if they did run because what is that? I'm just gonna take it in chunks. Literally just tease. Like you wanna get most of your hair up in the teasing. Also, don't use a teasing comb to do this. Like if you're gonna do a tease before putting the liner on, use an actual comb because you need to get all of the hair, all of it. Like not just the surface of the hair. All of it needs to be pushed up. Basically when you comb it all out, it's gonna make the hair at all different heights and you're gonna get a nice blended look. This area I just brought down the bleach a little bit further so that all of my hair is getting bleached now rather than just the front because that is lifting a lot faster than I expected. Why are we putting liner on the ends of our hair? Oh my God. It's getting scarier. The bottom actually turned out really good. So balayage technique, that was a win. It's looking good. It's looking good. It's looking good. Oops. That's where we messed up. It was at the top. I'm gonna go in with some more bleach. Literally just an inch though. It could have been a lot worse, I'll admit it. I mean, listen, if she was looking for that stripy money piece look, I think she's almost nailed it. And I'm glad she's lighting her hair again. This is taking a turn for the best. I do wish she went up a bit farther with the lightener instead of just doing like the tips of her hair like that. Like I think she needed more. You know, bring it up there, girl. I've done a second round of bleach everywhere else. Like the bottoms of my hair, they look grand. Okay, this is it washed out. I like it. It's better than what I expected. I'm really surprised with like the balayage guys. I think that was like the win-win of it. I feel like if I style my hair, I just let it air dry slash blow dry, like toss a little bit because I didn't want to put too much heat on. We definitely need like a toner to bring this all together. And maybe just a little bit of a root up there. It's so intense right in the front of your head. I want a little bit of a root. It's not for me. This life's not for me. So thankfully, Paddy really needed milk for his tea, which is an essential. So I was like, can you go get me a root touch up? Like a dark ash-y brown or blonde. So I'm going to try and like smudge it in here. Thank God she's going to smudge the root. Yes. This is the dye that we got. It's 7.1 natural dark ash blonde. I'll take it. Listen, anything to help the situation. Just going to go in small motions. Not the makeup brush. I don't think I've ever seen anybody use a makeup brush to do their hair. Like you are a first with that one. Congratulations. There's not a lot of firsts anymore and the hair just reacts. But you just, you just did it. Really making sure I'm keeping this at the roots. I think it's kind of working. Although here is a bit questionable because here is taking to the right here, isn't it? Like it's okay if it's still brighter in the front of my face. Like if my roots aren't going to be like the exact same shade. I'm going to step away from the dye. Let it do its thing. This is the final effect. So obviously we still have like two stripes but that dye last night severely helped us. It definitely dyed it down a lot more and then literally within two weeks like my roots going to come through anyways. I'm really actually happy with how that turned out. It was a disaster for a moment but I'm okay with the two, the two stripe look. See like my roots are darker but it's nice and bright at the front of my face. It looks so much better. That was definitely not the right tool to use like that box I use a dye permanent color next time at like a level seven and it'll be so much better. Like that was inflicting damage in your hair for no reason and you just didn't need that lifting power that a permanent color has. But it looks so much better. You pull it off. And I think she's right. Once the root grows in a little bit it's going to look so much better. Congratulations kind of. But also up next we have a video by Katie Coxhead. By the way, the title says sorry for Armando. So expect the worst. I've literally never bleached or never done anything to my hair and then cut it. God, our hair is luscious. Gorgeous. It should be pretty easy to lighten that hair color because it is so naturally light and it's fine and it's thick and it's just great. That is so much, well waste. Why don't they do smaller amounts so I can do my front bits? No, I'm freaking no. All right, we have a mixed up the lightener and we are ready to apply. I know I'm being dramatic but I'm honestly nervous. Well it's on there, it's too late night. Oh, it's going to go on the top. No. Why is the section so big? No, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I have gone quite close to the head and you're not meant to because that bit gets warmer quicker, right? Because your skull's hot. She's like, you know what to do? The roots first because your skull is hot. In my head I was thinking I'll just end up speeding this up because I'm sure I'll get the hang of it and here I am not getting the hang of it. And the disaster. Her hair is going to lighten so fast. Her ends are already really light and like I said before she has the perfect hair lighten. But also one section goes back to here and the other one goes back to here. Girl, please. Is it getting blonder? Where are you, hair? What do I do now, wait? Another insane foil wrapping job done by a DIY hair thing. Whatever you call it, people, I don't know. Now I need to do the roots. Round the outside, round, oh my God, it feels hot. Perfect. That's what we want, right? But this is great. She actually waited for her mids and ends to lighten to a nice pale yellow blonde and now she's going on her roots. Yes, she's going to get an even lift. Okay, so quick update. I have put them back in foils but just like the bottom bits. I love this look. It's giving fashion. It's giving like runway, couture, fashion week. I love. I knew this moment was coming but I'm still not prepared for it. Those are some large pieces. However, they are very even. I will have to applaud you for that. They're even. That's definitely one way of toning it. I think she's using conditioner. I think I might go now and then the next time I'll come on, hopefully, it will be done. I don't know, you know? I don't know if it's just because it's very fresh. I can't work out if I like it or not. No, we don't. Hold on. What did you just comb your hair with? Can we replay that? What do you just comb your hair with? A clip? You all are funny. Also though, her hair looks really good. How did she get that so even? It's so cute. It is definitely growing on me. Like I just kind of want to go all blond now but I'm enjoying the two tones. It's quite cool. You would look so good all over platinum blonde. Like those front pieces are doing it for me. Your whole head that color, wow. With your skin tone, wow. With your features, wow. I literally thought you were going to look absolutely fail and you didn't. It was a bit wild today.
