- Hello, hi, my name is Kayley, I'm addicted to holo.
As you would expect from a holo addict, AKA holo-sexual,
I'm a big fan of Christine from @simplyhairlogical
and she did a video several months back
where she turned her hair holo
and she asked an interesting question in that video.
- Why are there so few hair tutorials on YouTube?
But where are the hair videos, okay?
People wanna know how to get cool hair, too.
- Well, to answer your question, yes.
There aren't a lot of us,
but I am one that likes to teach people
how to have cool hair and do other things good, too,
and I'm going to use my skills as a licensed hairstylist
to turn my hair holo.
And we're just, we're gonna see how that goes.
This actually ended up being a very involved video,
so I'm gonna switch up my video style a little bit
and go in and out of kind of telling you guys
how everything went down because, girl.
Girl!
I started off with a dream and an idea
of what I would do with my hair.
And in that, I decided to incorporate
as much holo as I could and I started with the braids.
So, first things first,
I'm gonna be using holo tinsel to braid into my hair.
I'm actually using more of it
than I have hair in those sections,
so you should see mostly holo, if not all holo.
I'm taking the tiniest section up at the front
and then I'm just gonna braid that under.
Alright, and them I'm just gonna, like,
start giving some of this holo hair
to the section that just has my hair in it.
This is not the technique you're supposed to use for this,
but it's just so much easier.
Kayley Melissa, come for the braids,
stay for the lazy girl hair tips.
And now I'm gonna start braiding in hair from this section.
Okay, holo number one is in!
And now we transition to this little bitty baby pieces,
because uh, it was cheaper
than buying more of the long pieces.
The amount of money I spent on holo for this video
is between me and my therapist.
That's how the braid went down.
I did three more of them, so I had a total of four braids
and then I decided to go on to the next step,
which is to try to create some linear holo on my hair.
Now, I tested this extensively.
I wanted that linear, rainbow shift.
It was so important to me.
But the problem is, I could not make it work on hair.
Because when you do this on nails,
you're supposed to burnish it into the nail
and, turns out, you can't burnish things onto hair.
So, what I ended up doing
was taking some spray craft adhesive,
spraying human hair extensions
and then applying holographic nail foil transfers.
And then I had some linear holographic hair extensions.
So, I'm gonna kinda tana it up
and just put them between the two braids right here.
Obviously you're gonna be able to see this line,
I'm planning to cover it with some holo glitter.
And I'm just gonna, I think pin it next to the ponytail.
In the monitor, this just looks like a Swan Lake hair piece,
like I have the feathers on each side,
and I'm just a
drowning, dying swan.
But no, not a dying swan,
just a fantastic holo phoenix,
rising from the basics.
Cacaw!
Oh my gosh, my hair has never looked so magical.
I realized at this point it would probably be a good idea
to get the ponytail as much out of the way as possible,
so I took all of my human hair that was in the ponytail,
braided it, folded it in half, and pinned it that way,
so I had just like a little hair nubbin.
Just, like, the littlest bit of my hair was left
and everything else could be fully holoed.
And I decided to do that next on the top
with some holo flakie.
I tested tons of glitters, tons of gels,
and I finally decided to take holo flakies
and dab them onto a sticky gel base.
And goodness gracious, did I find a sticky gel base.
So, I'm using Gorilla Snot.
This is, this is, this is.
The branding is on point.
The texture of the product.
By the way, Christine,
I see your nail sponges and I raise you whatever these are.
It seems to be too big for an eye,
definitely too big for a nail.
I don't know what people use this for,
but I have to apply glitter to a large area.
This is like several manicures worth of area, so.
Putting something this thick and goopy and sticky in my hair
is so counterintuitive it's insane, but I've tested it.
It works super well with the glitter, so.
Oh, it's so cold and sticky!
I don't like it, I don't like it!
Oh yeah, glitter is just falling
as though it were snow from the sky.
It's everywhere!
Oh my gosh, I'm covered in holo.
My life is now covered in holo.
♪ When there's holo flakes ♪
♪ Covering all your home ♪
♪ Who you gonna call? ♪
♪ Holo busters! ♪
Can you see this?
Like.
It's like Nickelodeon slime.
And there we go, fake a hairline,
one of the many things you can do with holo.
I don't have a five finger forehead,
what are you talking about? (laughs)
This is really fun.
I'm gonna add some chunky glitter
in front of these extensions to blend them a little bit.
Also gonna do it in the back here.
As much as I would love to keep doing, like,
the sparkle and dab situation,
I think I might actually lose my mind.
So, I found this holographic glitter
at Riley Rose in the Glendale Galleria.
I love it, it's like a little flask of holo.
So I'm gonna take this and, on the back of my hand,
mix it with some chunky glitter
and then apply it to my hair.
Oh, this is the most magical I've ever felt in my life.
Oh yeah, guys!
Holy goodness!
Holy bajoogles!
What even is this?
I feel like there's probably a better way to mix it
than, like, on my hand,
but I just want all the glitter all over me.
Give it to me!
Yes!
♪ 'Cause I'm holo ♪
Alright, I guess we'll start with the stuff
that I can kind of see behind my ears.
So pigmented.
This is one of the few times you can truly tell someone
the back of their head is ridiculous.
So, now that, like, glitter has been achieved,
it was time to add in hair tinsel to my ponytail.
I decided to do that by bobby pinning it into the base
until I got a significantly better idea.
Ooh, here's a good idea.
Take all this, put it together with an elastic,
pin the elastic into the base of the ponytail.
There's that hairstylist brain comin' in.
Take that, Hairdo by Jessica Simpson.
♪ I feel holo ♪
♪ Oh, so holo ♪
And wrap the hair around the base of the ponytail.
So, I have one more thing I wanna use
and that is holo hula hoop tape.
I don't know why I bought holo hula hoop tape,
but it's gonna work in this situation, at least.
At this point, the holo look was complete
and if you're not familiar with holo,
even lighting like this
is not conducive to optimal holo viewership.
So, I had to switch my background, switch my lights,
and I'm ready for the reveal.
(electronic music)
After fully experiencing that holo,
my husband happened to walk by
and I called him in to see what he thought.
- I don't know what to make of this.
(Kayley laughs)
I don't even understand.
- I love that you keep lifting the up just the--
- Where, because your hair is gone.
(Kayley laughs)
- It's magic.
- Gosh.
(Kayley laughs)
You're so glittery, and not just here.
Just all of you is covered. - Just all of me.
Yeah, do you like that I improvised a tarp?
And it did nothing.
Weeks. - Pippin is also sparkly.
- Pip, Pippin, come here!
Well, yes, you're not kidding!
He does have, how did you get tinsel?
Pippin!
- I'm still kind of just flabbergasted.
- You're just in awe-- - Yes.
- Of the awesomeness?
Bing!
Christmas card.
- Yay!
- (laughs) All right, thank you for reacting.
Then we actually decided to take it outside
to see how the holo would show up.
Unfortunately, it was basically sunset at that point
because I had been applying holo for a long time,
so it wasn't too sparkly.
But I did get to get some really funny looks from strangers.
I also went around a little it in my house
to places where I know holo really pops
and I fully enjoyed just
the rainbow shifting sparkles that resulted.
I mean, I could have called it a day
but I was loving the holo and I needed more,
so I decided to add those big, chunky glitters
to the top of my head, as well.
And once that was done,
obviously I needed to get a look at it in the lights.
(electronic music)
I'm having the feels.
This whole video's basically like
me challenging myself to create holo hair
and I feel like I got there.
It is so sparkly.
I just wanna exist like this forever.
And that was my holo hair transformation.
It was worth every bit of glitter
that is strewn around my house now.
I loved it!
So, that is it for today's video.
