When I first started taking care of my hair, the ultimate goal was to dye my hair champagne
white.
But I knew that my hair in the condition that it was would never be able to handle that.
Now that I understand my hair in its natural state, I feel like I'm ready to go crazy with
it.
Hi I'm Karina.
This is Hair Me Out.
Today, I'm going to be dyeing my hair pastel blonde.
Before we get into this transformation, don't forget to subscribe below.
When I was a teenager I just wanted to express myself.
I would dye my own hair, I'd go to the salon and dye my hair, I'd bleach my own hair, even
shave my own head.
It didn't really matter to me.
I just wanted to have fun expressing myself.
It took years for me to understand my hair and how to style it.
For the last four years I didn't even take a hot tool to it, did nothing to it.
Now let's head over to the salon to see the transformation.
I was thinking about doing a pastel blonde or like a platinum blonde.
Have you ever done that before?
No.
This is the first time.
Yeah.
Let's get started.
We do a bleach process twice.
On top of that
we do color to neutralize the yellow.
Now that I have really nurtured my hair, I'm really nervous about dyeing it,
that it's gonna feel really bad or my curls will get lost, all my hard work will get lost.
But at the same time, I'm excited to get rid of this thing that's holding me down.
I don't like feeling attached to my hair.
I don't like feeling like I need to be in service of it at all times.
Even though the health of my hair is really important to me,
expressing myself is more important to me.
Everyone's already advising me against dyeing my hair champagne white.
People are scared that my hair will fall out or it won't be as healthy as it is now.
My hair inspiration is Lora Arellano.
She is Latina just like me and she is fearless in dyeing her hair.
You don't see a lot of Latinas dyeing their hair crazy hair colors.
And Lora really shows you how to pull it off and that anybody can really dye their
hair.
I think I'll still feel nervous even after I see it.
Because I'm going to have to take care of it, and from what I hear it's probably the
most high maintenance thing I can do.
For a really long time I've put no effort into my appearance.
Always my hair in a ponytail.
Minimal makeup.
And I'm really excited to start putting a lot more time in myself.
Dyeing my hair this light, I think it'll give me the freedom to do really bold exciting
makeup, hair and jewelry.
Okay, here's your new hair.
Holy, oh my god.
This looks so amazing.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
I love the way that my hair turned out.
Really excited to start putting a lot more time in myself.
It took years for me to understand my hair and how to style it.
I finally feel like I have control of my hair again.
Thanks so much for watching.
