Wtf ur here already? U got ur hair dyed and are angry beyond comparison like really really really fucking mad and want to go bleach it right fucking now but I think it’s too impulsive and you might lose your hair
I didn't know that growing out your roots for more than 4-6 weeks could cause this fuzzy little hair situation I have fully bleached hair (I am blond) and I usually touch my roots up after something around 3 months, because my hair doesn't grow too fast but still, I always have these little hairs. In general I have really weird hair and even had some breakage around my roots when I didn't have bleached hair and always thought well, that's just the way my hair has always been but now I'm not too sure about that anymore
Just bleached my whole head 2 weeks ago and your hair always looks so good so.... I might have just bought everything you said was great on amazon hahaha Thanks a lot for sharing! 💕💕💕
Thanks Mei !! ive had blue hair for 2 years and want to go red and am transitioning with purple right now so I'm definitely gonna take your tips and also try out some products you recommended ♡ Glad to see you again 💕💕
Lol opposite for me. I started out blue and then got it dyed red right after. (God bless my hair dresser, this queen was able to do this huge transformation in 3 hours)
Who would dislike this video😭 thanks for sharing girl!! I've learned SO much too over the years I've been blonde, my hair has come a longggg way!!! It's so healthy and long now and the steps are so simple but we just don't think about it, very grateful it's the way it is now✨🖤
I’m getting my hair dyed for the first time next Friday and I’m so nervous!!! I have Asian hair so I’m tryna watch as many videos as I can. Love you mei xx
Girl im getting mine dyed this Friday for the first time ever! Im so scared. Im Mexican I have chocolate brown hair and its thin and breaks easily I get lots of split ends but my hair grows fast and its long. Im scared it’ll damage it and affect the hair growth but im not using bleach!
@@KakaoPfoteMsp go for it then! I dyed my hair blue for a few years, now I'm back to my natural colour, and I still don't regret it. Keep in mind that you probably have to cut it to at least medium length at some point, so if you want to keep really long hair, it probably won't be possible.
red is even worse, i had blue hair for over a year and got rid of it very quickly, but my strong red stayed in my hair even after dyeing my hair black around 7 times over 1 & a half year haha :D
Omg I loveeee this video. I’ve dyed my hair for many years now and people always say to me, “I wanna dye my hair, but I don’t want to ruin and damage my hair!” And I’m always like, dying your hair doesn’t mean you’re damaging it! So now if someone asks how to not damage their hair I’ll just tell them to watch this lol
Do not only use a bond repairing treatment. You need to use moisture treatments as well. Bond repairing can only do so much on its own and moisturizing can only do so much on its own. Best advice is cycle through bond repair, protein, and moisture so there's balance. You also do not need to splurge on colored conditioners/treatments like overtone because as long as it's a direct dye you can mix your own with your preferred conditioner/mask and exact color you used on your hair. Avoiding heat styling helps. For after washing hair, do a mix of water based products and a fatty product over to lock in moisture as well(this depends on texture and density of hair though. My hair is pretty thin and a little wavy so i dont put a lot of products in after washing but a little def helps). Avoid sulfates and silicones in your hair too. Your hair has nice even color but looks so stiff in a lot of videos (which honestly cant be helped because bleach is a bitch no matter how much before and after care you do 😥)
Just use 20 developer and after bleaching, use a hair mask. I have bleached my hair constantly since I was 16 and I am 22 now. I have always done it myself and I have never bleached my hair to the point of gummy mess. Your hair will get slightly damage (I mean you are bleaching your hair) but if done right it is nothing you will really notice or can’t fix with products.
***MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS AN ALT COLORED HAIR PERSON, LONG POST(?)*** coming from someone who's had blue hair for i think about three years? i started off bleaching my hair DIY when i was in high school using a mixture of baking soda and peroxide. i didn't have a job, too young lol and was very antsy to have colored hair someday. i have very dark hair and it slowly lightened through all the levels of blonde until i had a dirty orangey blonde. eventually my roots were too long and i got my hair professionally bleached~ and then to save money i would bleach my roots myself every 8 weeks and also color it. however, i had a goal of wanting to have very long hair as well. ive been growing my hair out from a pixie cut (it's now bra strap level lol yay me) HOWEVER it is so damn hard bleaching your roots yall~~ and it's never any less stressful. i have first hand experienced hair falling out for days, by using the wrong level of bleach developer and over processing it. painful scalp. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE ALL OF MY HAIR GUYS. scary experience. you will _always_ get breakage no matter how careful you are, or experienced. also my hair processes fast, so i will never achieve it being even all the way around my scalp. also sometimes i work 2 jobs at a time, i aint got time for that lmao. i've now switched to getting my roots done professionally, but i do the coloring myself to save money, and because it's my favorite part:) you don't want bleach overlap trust me!! you want to minimize damage to have beautiful hair. 70 bucks isn't bad of a commitment, and maybe in your area you're lucky and have cheaper prices than i do!! take care i hope i helped somebody lmao
This was super helpful. I have dyed my hair quite a few times and every time I bleach my hair. It causes a lot of breakage and my hair feels so dry. I have been trying a bunch of different products and hair routines that just haven’t worked. So, thank you so much!
I'm Asian and I bleached my hair myself. It looks good but you can imagine the damage 😂 I ordered the wetbrush but I never thought it would work so well ! Thank you so much !!
I used to let my mum dye my hair and it looked like a mess, so after a long time i decided to go to a Salon to dye my hair, and it was lifechanging I am so happy with my hair now, and they used really good products that didn't damage my hair much If there is a really good salon around, i'd say its totally worth the money but always remember to take care of your hair too
Currently going through breakage because I too waited too long to bleach my roots 😭 I’m going to go for a more low maintenance look now haha. Thanks for keeping it realistic and actually giving out good hair information!
Thank you a lot for this video! I usually don't even watch "beauty videos", but this one was great. It's nice to listen to you and I never heard about hair masks before. I do use oil daily, just like you, and I'll definitely try your oil next! Probably the hair mask too, and maybe even the wet brush lol. Your hair really looks great, especially for dying it for such a long time. I just went back to my natural colour after dying it for years, too. But I'll probably cut it short in hopes it'll recover better then.
Thank you sfm for sharing your tips with us! I've had longglonglong virgin hair my 24 years of life and just recently decided to bleach and dye the bottom half end purple! For years I've been getting broken ends and brushing my tangled hair to death and now that it's bleached I've been searching for what to use to upkeep my color and basically how to rejuvenate it as it's been fading! So again- THANK YOU💕 Im really dying to try out the hair masks and hair oils!!
I want to just explain what Mei was talking about further when she said when you bleach your hair or get it professionally done you need to realize what that means. Once you bleach your hair your base color is always gonna be platinum, light blonde, or brassy blonde (depending on how well you bleach and tone your hair at home) mixed with whatever color you put on top of that bleached hair and after a few washes, eventually that color will have a faded look even if you do protect the color. On top of this, if you color your hair an unnatural color and then decide to go back to a more natural color, that natural color will fade and not look as good at you root hair color. Your hair will never look even until you cut off the bleached parts of your hair. I also want to express the bleaching process is the most important process to getting nice even colored hair. You cannot have patchy blonde hair or brassy/orange tones in your hair or else when you color your hair purple, blue, green, etc. it will come out patchy and not as vibrant not only that but you may not get the color you desired if you don't take out all the orange and very yellow tones. If your doing bleaching at home (which I don't recommend honestly because it never comes out great your first time) PLEASE be prepared to maybe bleach your hair twice if the first bleaching didn't take out the orange tones. I also don't recommend bleaching your hair twice in the same session. Wait at least one or two hair washing cycles. Make sure your hair is as dirty as you can possibly handle before you bleach. One thing that has personally helped with preventing hair damage when bleaching is Olaplex or something equivalent to Olaplex. Just ask a beauty store for it, they should know what you're talking about. Put this in the bleach before you bleach your hair and it will maintain the integrity of your hair. BUT even better is to just get it professionally done because your hair will most likely never have that salon quality look. At least let a professional bleach your hair.
I really want to dye my hair pink but I'll have to bleach it first and i dont want to ruin my hair :( Thanks a lot for sharing this video! It was really helpful
I just got my hair done and chose a dove gray color (ash with blue tones) and surprisingly, not much of my hair fell off from the bleaching process 😂 the hairstylist told me that Im lucky since my hair is healthy 😂
This makes me really miss the years i had unnatural hair colors but sadly i cant financially maintain that anymore 💔 i think about at least dying my hair jet black with a blue ombre but i still dont think i could feasibly maintain that hairstyle still 💔 alsoo for those who want this lifestyle of colored hair...realistically and speaking from my own experience: your hair WILL be damaged. It is completely unavoidable. Yes you can nurture and care for it with the tips from the video but your hair WILL be processed, dry and overall unhealthy despite your best efforts. Its a lie to believe it will be suuuuuper healthy after bleach. Sorry to say this but its a reality check.
Laila Qasbi dying it won’t do as much damage but if you’ve already got dark hair there isn’t much point. It’s up to you though. But I prefer black brown hair over jet black.
@@Adele5554 thank u so much i was do confuse i mean i wait to much to make my hair and healthy again ,u are right its already dark so thers no deffrent ,thank u ❤
could you tell me more about how you went to orange to pink? i had orange hair and it was almost impossible for me to get pink hair (it is kinda pink, but i never got to the pastel pink color that i wanted because my hair is always in a orange hue) and i really wanted to know how you did it, you’re amazing and this video really helped me, unfortunately i won’t be able to get the products, but thanks for sharing ❤️
Hey I personally had to bleach them again until they were almost white to have pastel pink. I'm pretty sure if you want bright pink you probably wouldn't have to do it but if you want any pastel color you need the extra bleach (and probably a purple mask/shampoo inbetween to take the rest of the yellow out of your hair). Hope this help :)
It's a good thing I only want the lower half of my hair dyed red. I have straight, thick, coarse black Chinese hair and I couldn't handle the upkeep of a full bleach/color. I travel a lot and hate having to go in all the time XD
Thank you so much for this~! Dying your hair isn't going to absolutely, positively destroy it, lol. It's all about making sure that you know your limitations when it comes to doing the job yourself. Always conduct your own personal research, and really make sure that you know your own hair!
I loved this video so much! It was so informative to me bc I love to dye my hair and have made mistakes like those but I'm slowing learning. I'm starting to plan hair styles in advanced, added oils (I use Moroccan Oil) to my routine, started using hair masks (I use Overtone The Remedy which I would love for you to test), and I bought Wet Brushes. I definitely am going to try what you suggested! I remember when my hair was so damage I got out of the shower and my hair when it dried a little would feel sticky and soft and would stick to my hand if I pressed it against it. I think that's what you experienced too. Love this video again! I hope to see more videos bc I love you so much!
just realized that your P.o. box is in city of industry and that we both go to mindy for our hair >.< she’s really the best 💖 also i’m so glad i watched this video bc i almost decided to go for an electric blue in my next session!!
Han Chen omg LOL mindy actually screenshotted this comment and texted me about it. she was screaming about you thinking about doing electric blue 😂 so glad you watched this in time!
Thanks for talking about this! I have grown out all of my bleached hair, but I will go back to a unnatural color this year around, so this video came just at the right time!
I’m dying my hair purple for the first time in a few weeks, and this video was really helpful! I have thin hair that gets greasy easily so I wash it everyday, but I know that’s only making my hair produce more oil. I also sweat a lot, so I'm hoping that by getting an ombre it will help me maintain the color for longer. I also think I might out try some hair oil even though it sounds kind of counter productive lol.
Yeaaay, been dyeing hair for a couple of months now. This is very insightful! I have faded blue, its almost gone now and Im planning to have pink hair cause of you hahaha luv u 💞
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't use conditioner, and my natural hair is very dry hair masks and hair oil saved my hair, conditioner is too weak for me
I went full pink 2 years ago and with my life style it was hard to keep up with retouching, so I’m resetting my hair now. Plan on going for an ombré into ashy silver. Dark Asian hair is a struggle
Random vid request: If you are willing and ready, can you show us your new home? Even just your room is fine, I am very curious to see how you decorated your place ^^
Thank you so much!!! I bleached my hair at a top salon but i have really bad breakage... So i hope that those products will help even just a little😍😍❤️
I got a shampoo brush for the shower, cost a $1 at the dollar store and all my hair stopped falling out in the shower I thought it was the hair dye! My hair is baby pink like yours in this video and it grows faster too since I started using a shampoo brush.
Watching this even though i have an Afro with fine strands and would never go near bleach 🤣🤣 Just love your voice Also the way your hair behaves bleached(dry and breaking. Needs hair masks and hair oils) is how my hair behaves on a normal day 😂
yes you talked about everything that i would have said!! people always expect blue hair to fade very quick and are confused when it turns green but i mean ??? isn't that obvious!? anyways thank you for sharing this xx
I found two different Fibre Fix products similar to what you showed us here, but they have very different price points. One was Fibre Fix Bond Connector, same name as yours, which is on £13.70. And the other is Fibre Fix Bond Fixer which is... *deep breath*... £108. I know. I know. The difference in price is crazy!!!
I dye my hair a lot as well and people have asked me how I kept it healthy. People seems to forget their hair after dyeing it. I always say that processes hair is dead dead, there’s no way to revive the dead. But you can fool people from thinking it’s not. People don’t do anything about their hair after they killed it. I spend twice as much on hair products than I spent on actually dyeing the hair. If y’all want to dye your hair please spend just as much on haircare...
To anyone thinking about bleaching their own hair: please think it through. Bleaching you hair is literally CHEMISTRY, you need to understand what's what, you need to have precise measurements and good quality products, and you need to do a LOT of research. I know many people do tutorials on TH-cam but honestly most of them are pretty bad and could give you wrong information... For instance, did you know that you can't use metallic instruments with bleach? You can use aluminium foil because it's pure aluminium and will not react with the bleach but any other metallic spoon, bowl, hair clip, hair comb could be mixed with small particles of other metals and lead to dangerous chemical reactions (affecting the lifting power, causing more damage, or even releasing toxic gasses depending on the metal you use) Did you know that putting on a coconut oil mask at least 4 hours before bleaching time and keeping the mask on while applying bleach will lessen the damage on your hair a lil bit without affecting the colour lift? (Again: make sure your coconut oil is pure) Did you know that you should always leave the roots for last because the heat coming from your scalp will make your hair lift faster than the rest? Did you know that doing a whole round of bleaching can be optional and replaced by a bleach bath if you're just looking for a small lift, which will reduce the amount of damage on your hair? Did you know that you should avoid processing long hair in a bun because it can create too much heat under the bun and process your hair at different speeds, with a risk of breakage if it gets too hot close to your scalp? I'm saying this because not researching this thoroughly will end up in avoidable damage, sometimes irreparable. It will probably work okay, but your hair might not be able to handle other processes after that (for instance if it fails and you have to cover your mistake with another colour, or simply if you want to try something else) If you still want to do it yourself, I STRONGLY recommend that 1) you have someone to help you if needed (because you have to act fast and you can't afford to take too much time so another person can help you) and 2) DO A STRAND TEST!!!! This is really serious, and I know 95% of people don't actually do allergy tests but this is NECESSARY. Not just to make sure you won't get any reaction (even though you never know), but mainly to see how your hair reacts to the process, and how it's turning out. If you want white hair for instance, you absolutely need to do that in order to check if your hair is strong enough to handle the process if you're the one doing it. It's better to fry a small portion of your hair and realise you can't do it than bleaching your whole head twice before realising your hair is breaking off! Also, please wait a bit between processes, I know it can be ugly but orange hair is better than no hair :p I currently have pure white hair with very little damage, but 3 years ago I could only achieve such a light colour by frying my hair because I didn't know much and I was eyeballing things, like TH-camrs did. The picture on my profile is 3 years old and even without the colour correction, my hair was still not 100% white despite the damage... Now I have longer, healthier pure white hair! Sorry for such a long comment but I know so many people who tried to play with bleach without realising how technical it is and then frying their hair off or ending up with yellow patches all over... See bleach as maths: you can't build anything good or long lasting if the original math formula is wrong! You can eyeball it but it won't be as good and the thing you're building could fall off anytime. But with a bit of homework, you get the right formula and a long lasting, high quality project ;) Voila, again sorry for the length but there are a lot of things you can do to limit the damage and maximise your chances of having good results, so you might as well do a bit of reading before! It's worth it ❤️
I had very dark black hair and I went bleach blonde but for the longest time I wanted to do pastel pink so I did it and ever since I colored my hair pink I started seeing so much more damage than I did with the blonde so I’m just going to suck it up and buy everything you just recommended because the split and dried hair and breakage everywhere got so bad this past month. 😭 my left side of my hair from the front is so much shorter than the right side (uneven) and the layers 😢 I’m so embarrassed but I still want pink !
When I want to switch from blue I add pink to make it purple (light purple). For some reason purple fades a lot. I'm constantly redoing my hair. I don't do anything with yellow undertones because that is sooo hard to get out. Thanks for the tips on softer hair.
just wanted to note… brushing your hair wet is not always better than brushing it dry! do NOT brush curly hair dry it will turn into a frizzy mess and become dry
Is there a hair colour you cant pull off coz every colour looks so good on you! But thanks for making this super informative video ❤️ Now I know why my hair is so dry and damaged.. looks like i needa toss the conditioners too 😂
i dyed my hair green (a vibrant yet dark green, somewhere between slime and forest green) like a month ago and i disliked it from the get go but four weeks later it hasnt faded in the slightest and i haaaate it. i wanna go pink or peach but thats the exact opposite of the colour wheel and its killing me like its gonna take sO long to get there
Watching this after some stylist ruined my hair and gave me bright blue when i asked for a toning and a refresh on my pale silver lilac... -sigh- it's going to be a long road...
I’m watching this because I went from blue to pink haha. I did it slowly though. Waited for it to fade to an extremely light blue and then used color removal. Terrible I know. I think once I hit pink I’ll start caring a bit more. I use oil and take vitamins. Good luck to everyone switching from blue to pink lol
you can grow it out, but itll take time depending on how long u want ur hair to be! u can also dye it back if u have dark hair, but thats an added process and makes it harder to re-bleach ur hair if ever
by "take time" i mean... a year or even a few, unless ur ok with having a buzzcut for a while... bleaching ur hair is very much a big commitment, and altho its possible to sort of grow it back out, it can be a pain in the neck lol.
when she said "really expensive I was expecting $200 but it's only $50 for that huge thing!!! so excited to try it out and not have lil hairs sticking out every where

For those with CURLY HAIR who want to dye their hair ❤️ (warning very long)
I’ve had colored hair for mannny years and have gone both the at home route and professional route I’ve had blue, purple, gray, lavender, watermelon pink, and currently have school bus yellow hair
Having curly hair is already more upkeep than those with straight hair so your already halfway there! If your nervous I always suggest to do it when else are you going to the only person stopping you is YOU! plus hair grows back if you don’t like it it can always be turned back
At home: it can be tricky to do so I highly suggest doing lots of research using the wrong developers can ruin your hair, doing your roots is HARD 😤 you don’t want to overlap already proceed hair, miss places or have your hair develop unevenly, or be patchy
Professional: after a year of doing my hair at home I switched to a salon and have been loyal to my stylist for years now.
Need to know: your hair texture WILL change. Your curl pattern WILL change. BUT with the right products AND upkeep you can have beautiful unicorn healthy curly hair
AVOID: parabens, sulfates, SILICONES
Using deep conditioners, oils, and treatments (at home and at salon) will keep your hair alive
I recommend briogeo deep conditioning mask (I use this as conditioner) Any natural oil will also help I.e. coconut, Marula, jojoba, caster, Etc. (Also apply oil when hair is went & when hair is dry before brushing it will help lessen breakage)
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND olaplex no. 3 it’s an at home product that repairs the bonds in your hair use 15min-overnight

@@KakaoPfoteMsp go for it then! I dyed my hair blue for a few years, now I'm back to my natural colour, and I still don't regret it. Keep in mind that you probably have to cut it to at least medium length at some point, so if you want to keep really long hair, it probably won't be possible.
@@kreakiwix4093 I had really long hair but I cut it to medium length haha, thanks for the advice tho 💜
red is even worse, i had blue hair for over a year and got rid of it very quickly, but my strong red stayed in my hair even after dyeing my hair black around 7 times over 1 & a half year haha :D
too late
Omg I loveeee this video. I’ve dyed my hair for many years now and people always say to me, “I wanna dye my hair, but I don’t want to ruin and damage my hair!” And I’m always like, dying your hair doesn’t mean you’re damaging it! So now if someone asks how to not damage their hair I’ll just tell them to watch this lol
Do not only use a bond repairing treatment. You need to use moisture treatments as well. Bond repairing can only do so much on its own and moisturizing can only do so much on its own. Best advice is cycle through bond repair, protein, and moisture so there's balance. You also do not need to splurge on colored conditioners/treatments like overtone because as long as it's a direct dye you can mix your own with your preferred conditioner/mask and exact color you used on your hair. Avoiding heat styling helps. For after washing hair, do a mix of water based products and a fatty product over to lock in moisture as well(this depends on texture and density of hair though. My hair is pretty thin and a little wavy so i dont put a lot of products in after washing but a little def helps). Avoid sulfates and silicones in your hair too. Your hair has nice even color but looks so stiff in a lot of videos (which honestly cant be helped because bleach is a bitch no matter how much before and after care you do 😥)
I wanna bleach my hair but im really scared that i will ruin my hair :(
Aydil - same!!
I want coloured streaks in my hair but I'm scared it will look bad on me. ☹
Just use 20 developer and after bleaching, use a hair mask. I have bleached my hair constantly since I was 16 and I am 22 now. I have always done it myself and I have never bleached my hair to the point of gummy mess. Your hair will get slightly damage (I mean you are bleaching your hair) but if done right it is nothing you will really notice or can’t fix with products.
Hair grows back and life is about a lot more than hair, you'll be fine ultimately so do what makes you happy
Evelyn Z. So if i let a professional person to bleach my hair, nothing will happen right?
***MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS AN ALT COLORED HAIR PERSON, LONG POST(?)*** coming from someone who's had blue hair for i think about three years? i started off bleaching my hair DIY when i was in high school using a mixture of baking soda and peroxide. i didn't have a job, too young lol and was very antsy to have colored hair someday. i have very dark hair and it slowly lightened through all the levels of blonde until i had a dirty orangey blonde. eventually my roots were too long and i got my hair professionally bleached~ and then to save money i would bleach my roots myself every 8 weeks and also color it. however, i had a goal of wanting to have very long hair as well. ive been growing my hair out from a pixie cut (it's now bra strap level lol yay me) HOWEVER it is so damn hard bleaching your roots yall~~ and it's never any less stressful. i have first hand experienced hair falling out for days, by using the wrong level of bleach developer and over processing it. painful scalp. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE ALL OF MY HAIR GUYS. scary experience. you will _always_ get breakage no matter how careful you are, or experienced. also my hair processes fast, so i will never achieve it being even all the way around my scalp. also sometimes i work 2 jobs at a time, i aint got time for that lmao.
i've now switched to getting my roots done professionally, but i do the coloring myself to save money, and because it's my favorite part:) you don't want bleach overlap trust me!! you want to minimize damage to have beautiful hair. 70 bucks isn't bad of a commitment, and maybe in your area you're lucky and have cheaper prices than i do!! take care i hope i helped somebody lmao
This was super helpful. I have dyed my hair quite a few times and every time I bleach my hair. It causes a lot of breakage and my hair feels so dry. I have been trying a bunch of different products and hair routines that just haven’t worked. So, thank you so much!
oh my god i love the wet brush its literally the best i've been using one for about 2 years now and its so great
I’ve been wanting to dye my hair and omg you are A GODSEND! Looking back at your photos is truly giving me some inspiration and courage to do it! 💕
I'm Asian and I bleached my hair myself. It looks good but you can imagine the damage 😂
I ordered the wetbrush but I never thought it would work so well ! Thank you so much !!
I used to let my mum dye my hair and it looked like a mess, so after a long time i decided to go to a Salon to dye my hair, and it was lifechanging
I am so happy with my hair now, and they used really good products that didn't damage my hair much
If there is a really good salon around, i'd say its totally worth the money but always remember to take care of your hair too
Currently going through breakage because I too waited too long to bleach my roots 😭 I’m going to go for a more low maintenance look now haha. Thanks for keeping it realistic and actually giving out good hair information!
Thank you a lot for this video! I usually don't even watch "beauty videos", but this one was great. It's nice to listen to you and I never heard about hair masks before. I do use oil daily, just like you, and I'll definitely try your oil next! Probably the hair mask too, and maybe even the wet brush lol.
Your hair really looks great, especially for dying it for such a long time. I just went back to my natural colour after dying it for years, too. But I'll probably cut it short in hopes it'll recover better then.
You don’t even know how bad I needed this video
Thank you sfm for sharing your tips with us! I've had longglonglong virgin hair my 24 years of life and just recently decided to bleach and dye the bottom half end purple! For years I've been getting broken ends and brushing my tangled hair to death and now that it's bleached I've been searching for what to use to upkeep my color and basically how to rejuvenate it as it's been fading! So again- THANK YOU💕 Im really dying to try out the hair masks and hair oils!!
I’m so glad I found this video since we have the same hair type and your hair is so pretty and healthy looking
I want to just explain what Mei was talking about further when she said when you bleach your hair or get it professionally done you need to realize what that means. Once you bleach your hair your base color is always gonna be platinum, light blonde, or brassy blonde (depending on how well you bleach and tone your hair at home) mixed with whatever color you put on top of that bleached hair and after a few washes, eventually that color will have a faded look even if you do protect the color. On top of this, if you color your hair an unnatural color and then decide to go back to a more natural color, that natural color will fade and not look as good at you root hair color. Your hair will never look even until you cut off the bleached parts of your hair.
I also want to express the bleaching process is the most important process to getting nice even colored hair. You cannot have patchy blonde hair or brassy/orange tones in your hair or else when you color your hair purple, blue, green, etc. it will come out patchy and not as vibrant not only that but you may not get the color you desired if you don't take out all the orange and very yellow tones. If your doing bleaching at home (which I don't recommend honestly because it never comes out great your first time) PLEASE be prepared to maybe bleach your hair twice if the first bleaching didn't take out the orange tones. I also don't recommend bleaching your hair twice in the same session. Wait at least one or two hair washing cycles. Make sure your hair is as dirty as you can possibly handle before you bleach. One thing that has personally helped with preventing hair damage when bleaching is Olaplex or something equivalent to Olaplex. Just ask a beauty store for it, they should know what you're talking about. Put this in the bleach before you bleach your hair and it will maintain the integrity of your hair. BUT even better is to just get it professionally done because your hair will most likely never have that salon quality look. At least let a professional bleach your hair.
I really want to dye my hair pink but I'll have to bleach it first and i dont want to ruin my hair :( Thanks a lot for sharing this video! It was really helpful
I just got my hair done and chose a dove gray color (ash with blue tones) and surprisingly, not much of my hair fell off from the bleaching process 😂 the hairstylist told me that Im lucky since my hair is healthy 😂
Planning to dye my hair again💖 thanks for this guide mei♡
This makes me really miss the years i had unnatural hair colors but sadly i cant financially maintain that anymore 💔 i think about at least dying my hair jet black with a blue ombre but i still dont think i could feasibly maintain that hairstyle still 💔 alsoo for those who want this lifestyle of colored hair...realistically and speaking from my own experience: your hair WILL be damaged. It is completely unavoidable. Yes you can nurture and care for it with the tips from the video but your hair WILL be processed, dry and overall unhealthy despite your best efforts. Its a lie to believe it will be suuuuuper healthy after bleach. Sorry to say this but its a reality check.
Jenny T soooo true I recently went back to black because I can’t maintain the grassy bleached hair anymore lol
@@ricecakesforlife same bruh. same. went back to black and not bleaching my hair ever again
@@Adele5554 i have black brown virgin hair and i want to dye jet black ,but im afraid to damage my long hair ,please any advice 😭😭
Laila Qasbi dying it won’t do as much damage but if you’ve already got dark hair there isn’t much point. It’s up to you though. But I prefer black brown hair over jet black.
@@Adele5554 thank u so much i was do confuse i mean i wait to much to make my hair and healthy again ,u are right its already dark so thers no deffrent ,thank u ❤
we seem to have a similar hair type which makes me happy bc it's so hard to find videos for hair care for my specific hair 0v0
could you tell me more about how you went to orange to pink? i had orange hair and it was almost impossible for me to get pink hair (it is kinda pink, but i never got to the pastel pink color that i wanted because my hair is always in a orange hue) and i really wanted to know how you did it, you’re amazing and this video really helped me, unfortunately i won’t be able to get the products, but thanks for sharing ❤️
Hey I personally had to bleach them again until they were almost white to have pastel pink. I'm pretty sure if you want bright pink you probably wouldn't have to do it but if you want any pastel color you need the extra bleach (and probably a purple mask/shampoo inbetween to take the rest of the yellow out of your hair). Hope this help :)
I think she went to the salon.
I used silver shampoo and light silver hair dye which bleached my hair again and then the orange was gone
I really want to dye my hair for the first time, so thank you a lot!
It's a good thing I only want the lower half of my hair dyed red. I have straight, thick, coarse black Chinese hair and I couldn't handle the upkeep of a full bleach/color. I travel a lot and hate having to go in all the time XD
Thank you so much for this~! Dying your hair isn't going to absolutely, positively destroy it, lol. It's all about making sure that you know your limitations when it comes to doing the job yourself. Always conduct your own personal research, and really make sure that you know your own hair!
I loved this video so much! It was so informative to me bc I love to dye my hair and have made mistakes like those but I'm slowing learning. I'm starting to plan hair styles in advanced, added oils (I use Moroccan Oil) to my routine, started using hair masks (I use Overtone The Remedy which I would love for you to test), and I bought Wet Brushes. I definitely am going to try what you suggested! I remember when my hair was so damage I got out of the shower and my hair when it dried a little would feel sticky and soft and would stick to my hand if I pressed it against it. I think that's what you experienced too. Love this video again! I hope to see more videos bc I love you so much!
just realized that your P.o. box is in city of industry and that we both go to mindy for our hair >.< she’s really the best 💖 also i’m so glad i watched this video bc i almost decided to go for an electric blue in my next session!!
Han Chen sameee i live around the area!!!
Han Chen omg LOL mindy actually screenshotted this comment and texted me about it. she was screaming about you thinking about doing electric blue 😂 so glad you watched this in time!

Thanks for talking about this! I have grown out all of my bleached hair, but I will go back to a unnatural color this year around, so this video came just at the right time!
I’m dying my hair purple for the first time in a few weeks, and this video was really helpful! I have thin hair that gets greasy easily so I wash it everyday, but I know that’s only making my hair produce more oil. I also sweat a lot, so I'm hoping that by getting an ombre it will help me maintain the color for longer. I also think I might out try some hair oil even though it sounds kind of counter productive lol.
Perfect timing ive been needing a color change but its already been bleached but I need it to chaaaaaangeeee so happy to see you post ofc lysm!!~ 💕
I know this is out of topic but, DANG you’re pretty ;0;
thank you for making this video!! I really want to dye my hair so it was helpful!
Yeaaay, been dyeing hair for a couple of months now. This is very insightful! I have faded blue, its almost gone now and Im planning to have pink hair cause of you hahaha luv u 💞
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't use conditioner, and my natural hair is very dry
hair masks and hair oil saved my hair, conditioner is too weak for me
thank you so much i've been dying these past days because of how borken and damaged my hair is and you might just have saved my life!
you look so much like suwa nanaka omg you're so beautiful and so is your hair
I went full pink 2 years ago and with my life style it was hard to keep up with retouching, so I’m resetting my hair now. Plan on going for an ombré into ashy silver. Dark Asian hair is a struggle
Random vid request: If you are willing and ready, can you show us your new home? Even just your room is fine, I am very curious to see how you decorated your place ^^
I'm going pink tomorrow and I'm terrified but also very excited. It's my first time playing with color and I'm just hoping all goes well :' )
Thank you so much!!! I bleached my hair at a top salon but i have really bad breakage... So i hope that those products will help even just a little😍😍❤️
You are so gorgeous i love your hair!!!
this is what I needed!! My hair would always get into knots and feel so dead
I got a shampoo brush for the shower, cost a $1 at the dollar store and all my hair stopped falling out in the shower I thought it was the hair dye! My hair is baby pink like yours in this video and it grows faster too since I started using a shampoo brush.
you should try homemade/natural hair masks! like an avocado or egg yolk mask :P it doesn’t sound that good but it works!!
you should do an updated piercing video!
Watching this even though i have an Afro with fine strands and would never go near bleach 🤣🤣
Just love your voice
Also the way your hair behaves bleached(dry and breaking. Needs hair masks and hair oils) is how my hair behaves on a normal day 😂
yes you talked about everything that i would have said!! people always expect blue hair to fade very quick and are confused when it turns green but i mean ??? isn't that obvious!? anyways thank you for sharing this xx
This is the video I've been waiting for!
I missed seeing her piercings HAHA
So what I've heard is changing colour, is to follow the colour wheel. Hope that helps
Very informative!!!
You are so pretty btw and I love your hair 🤩
this is what i was looking for!
Thank you!
I found two different Fibre Fix products similar to what you showed us here, but they have very different price points. One was Fibre Fix Bond Connector, same name as yours, which is on £13.70. And the other is Fibre Fix Bond Fixer which is... *deep breath*... £108. I know. I know. The difference in price is crazy!!!
Your hair is amazing!!
lol im watching this video after leaving toner in my hair for too long :^( now i look like trunks from dbz with blue-silver hair 💙💙💙
I dye my hair a lot as well and people have asked me how I kept it healthy. People seems to forget their hair after dyeing it. I always say that processes hair is dead dead, there’s no way to revive the dead. But you can fool people from thinking it’s not. People don’t do anything about their hair after they killed it. I spend twice as much on hair products than I spent on actually dyeing the hair. If y’all want to dye your hair please spend just as much on haircare...
To anyone thinking about bleaching their own hair: please think it through.
Bleaching you hair is literally CHEMISTRY, you need to understand what's what, you need to have precise measurements and good quality products, and you need to do a LOT of research. I know many people do tutorials on TH-cam but honestly most of them are pretty bad and could give you wrong information...
For instance, did you know that you can't use metallic instruments with bleach? You can use aluminium foil because it's pure aluminium and will not react with the bleach but any other metallic spoon, bowl, hair clip, hair comb could be mixed with small particles of other metals and lead to dangerous chemical reactions (affecting the lifting power, causing more damage, or even releasing toxic gasses depending on the metal you use)
Did you know that putting on a coconut oil mask at least 4 hours before bleaching time and keeping the mask on while applying bleach will lessen the damage on your hair a lil bit without affecting the colour lift? (Again: make sure your coconut oil is pure)
Did you know that you should always leave the roots for last because the heat coming from your scalp will make your hair lift faster than the rest?
Did you know that doing a whole round of bleaching can be optional and replaced by a bleach bath if you're just looking for a small lift, which will reduce the amount of damage on your hair?
Did you know that you should avoid processing long hair in a bun because it can create too much heat under the bun and process your hair at different speeds, with a risk of breakage if it gets too hot close to your scalp?
I'm saying this because not researching this thoroughly will end up in avoidable damage, sometimes irreparable. It will probably work okay, but your hair might not be able to handle other processes after that (for instance if it fails and you have to cover your mistake with another colour, or simply if you want to try something else)
If you still want to do it yourself, I STRONGLY recommend that 1) you have someone to help you if needed (because you have to act fast and you can't afford to take too much time so another person can help you) and 2) DO A STRAND TEST!!!! This is really serious, and I know 95% of people don't actually do allergy tests but this is NECESSARY. Not just to make sure you won't get any reaction (even though you never know), but mainly to see how your hair reacts to the process, and how it's turning out. If you want white hair for instance, you absolutely need to do that in order to check if your hair is strong enough to handle the process if you're the one doing it. It's better to fry a small portion of your hair and realise you can't do it than bleaching your whole head twice before realising your hair is breaking off! Also, please wait a bit between processes, I know it can be ugly but orange hair is better than no hair :p
I currently have pure white hair with very little damage, but 3 years ago I could only achieve such a light colour by frying my hair because I didn't know much and I was eyeballing things, like TH-camrs did. The picture on my profile is 3 years old and even without the colour correction, my hair was still not 100% white despite the damage... Now I have longer, healthier pure white hair!
Sorry for such a long comment but I know so many people who tried to play with bleach without realising how technical it is and then frying their hair off or ending up with yellow patches all over... See bleach as maths: you can't build anything good or long lasting if the original math formula is wrong! You can eyeball it but it won't be as good and the thing you're building could fall off anytime. But with a bit of homework, you get the right formula and a long lasting, high quality project ;)
Voila, again sorry for the length but there are a lot of things you can do to limit the damage and maximise your chances of having good results, so you might as well do a bit of reading before! It's worth it ❤️
also what happened to your lip piercing??
your voice is so soothing uwu
The video I've been waiting for☺
I had very dark black hair and I went bleach blonde but for the longest time I wanted to do pastel pink so I did it and ever since I colored my hair pink I started seeing so much more damage than I did with the blonde so I’m just going to suck it up and buy everything you just recommended because the split and dried hair and breakage everywhere got so bad this past month. 😭 my left side of my hair from the front is so much shorter than the right side (uneven) and the layers 😢 I’m so embarrassed but I still want pink !
When I want to switch from blue I add pink to make it purple (light purple). For some reason purple fades a lot. I'm constantly redoing my hair. I don't do anything with yellow undertones because that is sooo hard to get out. Thanks for the tips on softer hair.
this was super helpful!!
this was SUCHH a helpful video, thx for sharing :) x
GUYS GUYS THE HAIR STUFF SHE MENTIONED IS ON SALE FOR 19$$$ RN :000
This is also a life-saving video for me☺😍 thank you so much😍💕💖
just wanted to note… brushing your hair wet is not always better than brushing it dry! do NOT brush curly hair dry it will turn into a frizzy mess and become dry
MY question: My was a professional hair stylist at a salon before she moved to America. Should SHE dye my hair this summer?
You kinda look like a friend of mine! And we’re both East Asians too btw. Love the way u talk :)
i reallyyy want to dye my hair half black/half blonde, but idk if i should do it? hmmm
Is there a hair colour you cant pull off coz every colour looks so good on you! But thanks for making this super informative video ❤️ Now I know why my hair is so dry and damaged.. looks like i needa toss the conditioners too 😂
thank you!! this was so informative ♥️
i dyed my hair green (a vibrant yet dark green, somewhere between slime and forest green) like a month ago and i disliked it from the get go but four weeks later it hasnt faded in the slightest and i haaaate it. i wanna go pink or peach but thats the exact opposite of the colour wheel and its killing me like its gonna take sO long to get there
Watching this after some stylist ruined my hair and gave me bright blue when i asked for a toning and a refresh on my pale silver lilac... -sigh- it's going to be a long road...
I’m watching this because I went from blue to pink haha. I did it slowly though. Waited for it to fade to an extremely light blue and then used color removal. Terrible I know. I think once I hit pink I’ll start caring a bit more. I use oil and take vitamins. Good luck to everyone switching from blue to pink lol
Hi! I want to know if bleach will in any way affect the colour of your roots
Your videos are very beautiful 😍👍
I want purple ombre hair highlights.
so when you bleach all of your hair, you cant go back to the original hair bc you need to retouch the roots all the time? sorry i dont get it😭
you can grow it out, but itll take time depending on how long u want ur hair to be! u can also dye it back if u have dark hair, but thats an added process and makes it harder to re-bleach ur hair if ever
by "take time" i mean... a year or even a few, unless ur ok with having a buzzcut for a while... bleaching ur hair is very much a big commitment, and altho its possible to sort of grow it back out, it can be a pain in the neck lol.
do you have any salon recommendations you go to in la?
