- Hi, I'm Selorm and I'm someone who has never, ever,
ever colored their hair before.
And I'm hoping today I can change that.
I'm going to try to go blonde,
but I'm not going to be using any products with bleach.
My hair has always been very fragile
when it comes to pretty much everything.
I have a hair texture where you're supposed to
moisturize your hair and also wrap it up at night.
When I was younger, I rarely did that.
And on top of that, I also got a perm in junior high.
Now in order for me to have color in my hair,
I would have to bleach it a lot.
Those chemicals, I feel like,
would add a lot of damage to my hair
that I really don't need.
So how am I going to do this, you ask?
I found a lot of videos of YouTubers
using this hair coloring, paint slash wax
that lets them apply color to their hair,
but it looks really natural.
From the camera at least it looks like their hair
has been dyed.
So I did some research and I found two products
that it seems like a lot of YouTubers have been using.
So I'm gonna try these two products out
and then I'm gonna wear them for the rest of the day,
just to see how they look after a few hours.
Okay, so the first product we got is called Hair Paint Wax.
Very literal. It's very gold on my fingers.
It looks like iridescent.
Best used on curly hair texture as well.
What do you know?
So I'm supposed to dampen my hair
while using these products.
So I'm just gonna take my little spray bottle,
I'm just gonna spritz it all over my hair.
So here we go.
Oh my God. Wow.
I don't know. I don't know if this is my blonde.
I'm not quite sure. Maybe it's too soon to tell.
I feel like Goldilocks right now, holy.
Ooh guys, you know who I look like?
I look like Patty Mayonnaise from "Doug".
We're the same person, right?
I don't watch the show so I don't know who this is.
Now I look like that guy from "Dragon Ball Z".
I'm going to let this dry for a bit
and I'll tune back in with you guys
to give you a little update on what's going on
with my head.
So as you can see, it's dried a lot.
It's a little bit blonde.
I feel like I get a kind of greenish tint from it,
which I didn't really see originally in the room.
Maybe I should put this on my eyebrows too.
Okay, my boyfriend's here.
I'm gonna film his reaction real quick.
Hey.
- Holy (beep), that looks really good.
- It does? - Yeah.
- [Selorm] Oh, thank you.
- That looks really, I like it. Do you like it?
- [Selorm] I wasn't expecting you to like it.
- Really?
- Okay, so maybe it does look good. Never mind.
I don't like it.
So I finished applying this sometime around 5:30
and it's now 7:11 so it's had quite the time to dry.
So I was in a meeting while I was waiting for it to dry
and I was kind of playing with my hair
and all of a sudden I noticed that it was
like speckles all over my shirt.
If I do this, there's definitely still residue
that comes off on my hands.
It's still, to me, looks like color on top of my hair
rather than my hair color.
I feel like I would not feel that cute walking around
outside with this.
I don't want to rule it completely out
because we still have one more hair paint wax to try.
Ooh, okay. Hello.
It is day two. We are done with the other hair dye.
I washed my hair last night.
And honestly it all came out pretty easily,
which I'm pretty surprised about.
So today I'm gonna be trying the same color
that I tried yesterday, but a different brand
called Mofajang.
Very golden, very beautiful, very thick,
kind of like lotion almost.
They look very identical,
but I have to say from what I've seen from reviews
these products are not the same.
They definitely do look different.
So right away, I'm noticing that like,
I feel like I'm getting a lot more coverage right away
than I was with the other one.
This is a very different yellow, kind of.
With this one I'm not finding myself
having to use as much product to cover my hair.
The color's able to just be so bold and so bright
on such a dark hair color.
It blows my mind. All right.
We did it. Okay, okay.
These are the last ones I promise.
Don't I look like Richard Simmons?
Don't I look like Solange? Don't I look like Beyonce?
Don't I look like Justin Timberlake?
Actually wait, wait, I just look like Justin Timberlake.
That's it. That's, that's it.
This color looks amazing. I love this.
It looks a lot more real. It's still wet.
So we're gonna wait till it dries
but I think it looks really freaking good.
Okay, so I'm outside and this is what it looks like
in the sun.
A little bit different from the other lighting,
but I still like it.
I think the color looks pretty consistent
to the way that it looked inside.
It's not too different, but yeah, I think it works.
FaceTime Joyce.
Do you like my hair?
- It's interesting.
- It's interesting? What is interesting?
- I was a little shocked by it
but I think you look great.
I mean you always look beautiful.
- Ah, thank you.
Basically I use this like hair wax paint.
- Oh, so it's not actually blonde.
- Yeah, it's not actually blonde.
- Okay, yeah, I'm kind of weird with hair wax.
- I was like, the minute she finds out it's not real
she's gonna give me her real opinion.
- You look like a bronze statue.
- Oh. One out of 10, what would you rate it?
- I'd give it a solid six.
- Oh, that's not that great, but not that bad.
Okay, so it's been quite a few hours.
I have to say, I really like this.
Very much a different color,
but I feel like I could rock it.
I'm like getting like faux hawk vibes,
maybe I could lift it up,
do a little like cute punk rock kind of thing.
Mofajang really worked for me.
It was a lot easier to put on.
It was a lot easier to get a lot of coverage.
There's a reason that it's a temporary hair dye.
And that's because it's paint.
I've watched a lot of these videos and to be real,
on camera it can look a little bit misleading,
but if you really touch it,
it feels like I have paint on my hair.
The residue was falling off like snowflakes
onto my shoulder.
I think I would use these products for a photo shoot
or for something where someone
is going to be looking at me far away.
The whole point was was I able to go blonde without bleach?
And yes I was. It's still a really fun thing to try.
So give it a shot.
Okay, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa wait one more.
I look like GloZel, duh.
