today's the day the sun is shining
actually no it's not it's it's not
because it's 4 am
the sun is not shining yet but come the
end of this video it will be
[Music]
today's the day the sun is shining the
birds are singing and i am about to dye
my hair red i'm going back to red guys
that's it that's that's it that's the
end of the hair coloring adventures i
first bleached my hair in january 2020
when i was in japan
and i dyed my hair pink first time in my
life i've had any other color other than
my natural color of red and it's been
two whole years of every color i could
possibly think of plenty of fun was had
along the way and plenty of concern was
expressed but i am now ready to go back
to the way that i was just
with my shorter hair so my mother has
been the biggest advocate for me to
return to my natural red hair uh
probably from the moment that
i went pink the second that she saw me
with pink hair she was like put it back
put it back go back to the way you were
and ever since then for two years she's
been asking me to tie my hair back to
red so mum that's what i'm doing today
and i'm going to be dyeing my hair red
using shades of red hair dye that my mum
has picked out for me many months ago my
mum came to my house with a big shopping
bag full of
schwarzkopf live
in the shade aztec copper and tangerine
twist and mom said alex um
when you
decide to dye your hair back to red
please use these
and i said why and she said because
i think that if you mix this and you mix
this it'll be
the color that your hair was before you
bleached it and she said please promise
me
promise me
that you'll use these
when you go to dye your hair red again
now
i i was going to use arctic fox or you
know some other trendy brand but i have
caused my mom enough pain and suffering
over the past two years watching me
torment
her and myself
with everything that i've done to my
hair so i thought no no i may as well
do do something nice for her and dye my
hair using the colors that she chose for
me so with that
mum wants me to take this schwarzkopf
live aztec copper and mix it in equal
parts with schwarzkopf ultra brights
live tangerine twist hopefully two
packets will be enough to cover my whole
head and if you are confused as to why
my hair looks
the way that it does right now i look
like gilderoy lockhart with a bowl cut
it's because i just used the product
color oops to remove the black blue from
my hair and reset it back to
this so with that let's mix these up
interesting difference in the textures
between two that is
really kind of concerning
[Music]
all right so
aside from the fact that it looks
absolutely delicious
it looks kind of thick
and
i'm considering maybe mixing in just a
tiny little bit of conditioner just to
let it go a little bit further
is that a good idea
too late if you're leaving a comment
saying no it's a terrible idea because
i've already done it um this is
a conditioner that i'm
literally obsessed with this is the sol
de janeiro
hair
it's so difficult to know the name of
these products because they put a
bajillion words all over the packaging
but essentially it's like a
hair
treatment and i love it it's done
incredible things to my hair i've been
trying olaplex for like
over a month now and
this
i feel like this is better than old plex
i know i know please don't come for me
but i do love it
and it smells absolutely incredible i'm
just i'm gonna take a little bit of it
and i'm gonna just put it in there
probably just like a spoon maybe just a
spoon of it and hopefully that'll thin
this out just enough to help me spread
it through my hair
all right so the instructions say that
you have to apply the hair dye to towel
dried hair so i'm going to give it a
quick wash i'll use a little bit of
clarifying shampoo just to make sure
that there's no residual
product of any sort on it now start
dying
slowly
[Music]
all right this is it it's happening i
can't believe it's actually happened
okay
i'm ready
as you uh know if you're a regular
viewer of mine
there's no technique involved in
anything that i do uh so if you are
new here and you're watching on in
horror because i'm not dividing my hair
it's just how we do things around here
oh god
i look like pauline hansen
i don't like it
now we wait
i'm going to wait 30 minutes
all right it's time
i haven't looked yet i haven't peaked
let's see what's under here oh

it's happening

skillshare for sponsoring and let's get
on with the reveal
hello
oh look at your hair
you like it
oh that looks gorgeous you like it it
looks beautiful doesn't it
and here it is
so it is not quite close to my natural
hair color my natural hair color is
not so orange it was very very orange
when i was a kid and then as i've grown
older it's it's sort of leaning more
towards a brownie kind of red so
obviously it's uh it doesn't look
natural at the moment which means i'm
going to need to tweak the formula or
tweak the recipe a little bit so if you
guys have any recommendations about
red hair dye products that you know of
that could possibly
give me something like this which is
what my hair looked like on
my wedding day which as my husband says
is his favorite shade of my hair my
natural hair color
and he has also informed me that second
that his favorite shade is pink
so
with that being said there
may or may not have been some lies told
when i said that i was done with my hair
dying adventures because there is
something so appealing about a pastel
pink bob
but you know what we'll get to that when
my hair grows to it because i'm i'm far
from a bob at the moment it's uh
it's not a pixie cut it's not a big c
card it's
i i don't know what to call this length
but
you know what
i'll enjoy it while i have it so
with that thank you guys so much for
joining me on today's adventure i'm
happy enough with the color at the
moment but the
you guys you know me it's it's not going
to stay this way for very long so i
suppose this is the commencement of
trying to find the perfect shade of red
to suit me so you know what um prepare
for lots more
hair dyeing videos as i uh try fire
truck red and i try orange and i try
auburn and i try
strawberry blonde who knows the
possibilities endless so like i said if
there's any uh red hair dyes that you
would like me to experiment with or
perhaps if there's 40 red hair dyes that
you would like me to mix together and
dye my hair with please leave them in
the comment section down below now that
my hair is finally ready again i will
begin the hair repair journey so i'll be
trying out the joyco four-step hair
repair system uh i'll be trying out a
whole bunch of other products too
on my journey to getting my hair back to
the state that it was in you know what
probably when i was five years old
because let's be honest my hair's been
damaged for the majority of my life but
aside from that i'm very much looking
forward to getting my hair feeling nice
and soft and luxurious and i'm also
looking forward to finding the right
shade of red that's pretty close to my
natural color
and most certainly not
bleaching it again and going pink i'm
definitely enjoying the length of my
hair it's a lot of fun playing around
with different hairstyles i have had
that many days where i have sleeked it
all the way back and i've just had it
looking really really super short i've
had days where i've kind of like puffed
it up on the top and i've left it quite
short on the sides i feel like there's a
fine line between
pleasure and pauline hanson when i've
got hair like this if you don't know who
pauline hanson is and you didn't quite
understand that joke earlier in the
video
she's a
politician
in australia that people aren't
particularly fond of i'll just
say that much
but uh yeah no i'm i'm loving having my
hair at this length but that being said
i do also have a lot of wig content
coming your way which i'm
very very very excited about
and that'll start rolling out soon so if
you are interested in seeing that don't
forget to subscribe and turn on
notifications so you know when i upload
those videos if you have any hair
styling tips for me um now that i have
this length hair i feel like there's a
fair bit that i can probably play around
with so if you think of any styling
ideas please send me a photo on
instagram or on twitter i'm going to be
in this little bit of an awkward stage
for a while as i wait for my hair to
grow longer
i very much look forward to having a bob
i'm
that's that's what i'm most excited for
i want a bob and a fringe at the moment
my fringe is kind of i mean it
it is still there uh do you remember i
wanted i wanted curtain bangs um that
didn't quite happen
what i what i ended up with was
a disaster
but yeah look the the fringe the bangs
are still they're still kind of there
but these days instead of wearing it
like that i've i've been kind of like
yeah pulling it up and back i always
like having a bit of volume to my hair
so
i'm gonna probably have to start
experimenting with hairspray and volume
and i also wanted to give the curly girl
method a try so if there's any of these
hair styling things that you want to see
me do just let me know in the comments
down below i feel like the predicament
that i am left with now is do i want my
hair to throw
more red tones or more orange tones
i'm not really sure because when i was
younger i had that really really orangey
kind of hair uh and as i got older it
sort of turned more red and then it
turned kind of more brownish so i don't
know which way that i want to lean and i
feel like the only way that i'm going to
be able to find out is through
experimentation
so yeah may or may not have slightly
lied when i said no this is the end of
the hair dyeing adventures as if alex
was going to dye her hair red once and
then just be done with hair dying
forever if you fell for that
so yes i i want to see myself with a
little bit more of an orangey kind of
tyrone and i also want to see myself
with pink again
but with that thank you guys so much for
joining me on this adventure let me know
what you think about the color in the
comment section down below if you like
this color on me let me know i may or
may not keep it for several
more days before i change it
so with that thank you guys so much for
watching and i'll see you next time
mwah how many hours did you sleep last
night for love
and the night before
and then two and a half the night before
so what you're trying to say is
you're really tired
and
you're delaying doing this outro because
you're tired you don't have the
motivation but you really want to talk
about the results but you're so tired
that you also want to go to bed
well it seems like the remedy is
go to bed
you've done your makeup really pretty
thank you and done your eyes
my eyes are the makeup
yeah but so you could take the eyelashes
you do your
eyebrows too
but then you're going to go to bed and
then you have to read the word again
yeah which means you'll lose one time
four
come here
you do the outro
you tell people mistakes were made
but you're happy
and you would use their product again
because it's not bad
it looks really cool
then then the most important thing
is that you can have some cuddles
and tomorrow
if you're not filming anything because
you're just moving stuff out of the
garage yeah you don't need to waste the
time doing eye makeup because there's no
point
hurry up and film so we can have cuddles
happy for outro but you know cuddles
