I'm a little bit nervous on however my hair
is going to lay.
It's got a mind of its own, so I'm just
worried how it's going to take to the cut.
Hi, I'm Sydney, and today I'm getting a pink hair color correction.
Before you see my transformation, subscribe below.
I would like my hair color corrected because
I am tired of it looking like I had a mental breakdown in
quarantine.
I dyed my hair pink because
I was growing out my blond hair that I dyed
last year.
I went to Sally's Beauty Supply
and got a pink tube of dye.
I loved the bright pink.
At first it was really fun.
It's something I always wanted to try and it was great
while it lasted, but it didn't last very long and now I'm
ready for another change.
Hi, I'm Kana. I'll be your hairstylist today.
Awesome.
I've been doing hair for 18 years.
My specialty is color correction and balayage.
I want a more natural look and redo the whole thing.
Go a little bit darker.
Okay, so basically just like a whole hair
transformation.
Yeah.
Alright, let's get started.
Okay!
I used Olaplex to protect
her porous ends and also
I used the Redken bleach recovery oil.
So first I added the highlight with foils.
And used a different formula for the parts already bleached to protect
from overlapping and over-damaging.
I am very excited to see a professional
for my hair transformation.
I definitely shouldn't be doing my own hair.
Yeah, please just get your hair done by professionals.
I toned the roots between foils.
I used semi-permanent color for that
since she wants to go darker than her natural level.
It takes longer to deposit the pigment on healthy, new regrowth,
so I left it for 50 minutes first,
and then pulled the color through to the ends
and left it for another 10 minutes.
Because porous ends always grab the pigment right away.
Once the highlights process is done,
I wash her hair but I still see little pink on the ends.
So I use different toner to cancel out the pink tone
and it took me another 20 minutes.
And then also another toner to tone all over the hair.
For the haircut, since she doesn't want to change the length,
I just trimmed the dead ends on the bottom,
and then added the lots of layers to give it a bit more body
and movement.
I also did a pointing cut technique
to give it extra textures to make it easy
to style as her natural wavy hair.
I have definitely thought about getting a shag
for a while.
I just think it's a really cool, like
punk look.
I'm also excited about getting a fringe again.
I've had them done before, like above the eyebrow,
but I'm liking a longer bang, so I'm
just excited to get longer bangs again.
She actually has a beautiful natural wave.
She can totally let it air dry, and no need to style with brush and irons.
But I just used a curling iron to give a little beachy wave on it.
You ready?
Yeah.
Oh my god!
It looks so good! Wow.
I like the subtle highlights.
Yeah, so it's still dimensional.
No more pink.
No more pink!
So cute.
I'm just so happy that the pink is gone and it feels
so nice and I'm excited to just not
have to have like a huge routine or just throw my
hair in a clip because I hate how it looks, because I love
how it looks now and feels.
It's just it's great.
Seeing her face in the mirror for review, she
looks so happy and then like she can't stop touching
her hair.
And that makes me happy.
She was so sweet and nice.
And then even like the color correction is always like
hard work for the stylist, but she actually
made it easy to work on it.
Working with Kana was a dream.
She's so sweet and fun and has such
great attention to detail.
The texture of my hair, it's just like so nice and smooth.
All of the fried pink bits are gone.
I'm going to maintain this look by keeping it
clean and air drying it, because it's just going to — my
natural waves are just going to like pop, I think.
My current hair makes me feel great.
It looks like
a million bucks.
I will not be doing my hair at home again.
I'm going to trust the professionals.
I'm so happy with it. It couldn't be more me.
