I know everyone’s gonna be like, “Girl, this is a wig.”
You should be comfortable doing whatever to it but,
this is a very expensive unit.
I love the fact that it’s blonde but also it’s virgin hair.
It’s sourced from one head.
I can’t believe I’m about to dye it blue.
My name is Destiny Taylor and I’m gonna
get my hair transformed into Cardi B Blue.
Before I go through my hair transformation,
don’t forget to subscribe below.
I’m a creative hustler from Indiana,
living in sunny California.
Growing up I had three sisters
and we always just did our own hair.
I’m most nervous about trusting someone else with my hair.
I had this horrible experience in high school
where I actually bleached it, and I colored it orange.
After that color, my hair was this short.
So I’ve really been indulging in,
just the privilege to be able to transform myself into
whoever I want to be with wigs and extensions.
I’m excited for this transformation for two reasons:
one, I love Cardi’s first and second mixtape.
Gangsta Bitch Volume 1 and 2 was my ish.
But also just who she represents.
She just popped out a baby.
She’s back on stage,
back in the studio with blue hair.
It represents my alter ego that I push to bring out every day.
It’s bold, it’s energetic,
and it’s so vibrant, and strong.
I’m gonna fill that newness
that I’ve been longing for.
My name is Daniel Moon, and I own Hair,
the salon in downtown Los Angeles.
Hey, hey!
Welcome to Hair!
Hello!
Thank you!
Come on in.
Wow, this is such a cool space!
I’m always excited to work with the wig
because the challenge is always to make
it not look like a wig.
I’m just nervous with the bleach that it will get over processed.
Again, I had that horrible situation with my natural hair
so I would hate for that to happen with
this very expensive wig.
Alright, I hear you want to go Cardi B blue.
Yes.
That’s my favorite blue right now actually.
Yes!
I just want to be bold and fearless like Cardi.
Alright, so what we’re gonna do is we’re going to change it up for you.
We’re gonna open up your face a little bit more
and lock in your eyes,
keep it nice and flirty, and sexy.
Nice, I’ve never had bangs before so this should be interesting.
Well, get ready for it, here we go.
I’m ready.
So I got 4 different shades for you.
I like to give it a bit of movement and contrast
so you have a lot of dimension in there.
Alright Destiny, now that we’ve got your blue base on,
we’re gonna get to the fun part with the three blues
and get the electric magic in.
During the process, I felt like I needed a little bit more pizzaz.
A little bit more electricity so I created my own custom blues.
Bowie blue, and then a Dodger blue for Los Angeles baby.
Viola!
I can't wait to see how it looks once it’s dry.
Yeah, you think it looks good now, just wait.
I’ve never had my hair blue before,
I hopping it really compliments my melanin.
This color is amazing!
Now that we’re nice and dry, now we can get to the fun stuff.
Are you gonna do them really thick and fringy?
Or are we doing something thinner?
Well, let's just say it’s gonna be a surprise.
Oh god.
Oh my god!
I look like a little Barbie doll!
Yes you do.
Oh my god!
Straight from the moon.
I love this so much!
This hair, it makes me feel very sassy.
A lot of spunk.
What’s so cool about black hair,
and the culture of it,
is just how prominent extensions and weaves are in it.
We can transform our hair
and become who we want at any moment whenever.
I’m always excited to see a wig absorb the color exactly how we mixed it.
I haven’t had anyone other than me put their
hands in my head in like eight years,
and Daniel did an amazing job.
He’s the first person I trusted with my hair and he’s great.
The way that I help my clients maintain their
brightly colored hair is I make them custom
colored conditioners.
So you can maintain it at home.
I hope that every single person in the world
wakes up knowing that the love that they receive
is only the love they put out.
