Lucie: My mom is about to balayage my hair. I haven't had my hair done for weeks since
we've been quarantined, and I am about to change out of this sweatshirt to put on
something that I don't care about. This is not mine. It's my brother's girlfriend's. By the way,
she's been tie-dyeing, so these are both made by her. I'm really excited to see
how my hair comes out... I have not had my mom... what sweatshirt do I not care about?
I care about all my clothes.
Okay, I found an old sweatshirt and now we're gonna go get
our hairs done. Turns out the shirt I picked is a Rolling Stones collector's
item from my dad... so I have to change again. Which one did you pick? All right... A flamingo! Cool. Here's what
we're using... L'Oreal Colorista Bleach, Ombre. These are some before and afters...
Let's go! Mom? Mom? So, what do you want me to do? Brush my hair?
Debbie: Yeah, did you mix the package?
Lucie: No... Do you want me to brush my hair?
Debbie: Brush your hair and then mix the package.
Lucie: Brush my hair... I got my frozen gummi bears to snack on...
I part it... usually in the middle...
Debbie: Kay, now make this.
Lucie: Like that...
There's the developer... shampoo and conditioner... lightening cream...
a brush... a cap... bleaching powder... and... directions.
Ooo, gloves!
We can save these for the grocery store!
The preparation: Be sure your hair is dry.
Put on the gloves. They gave us these... Okay, drape towel over shoulders... Twist
off applicator tab and unscrew applicator cap from the developer cream.
Got it.
Step 2: Shake bleaching powder packet to loosen contents.
Cut corner off at dotted line... Do you have a scissor?
Screw the flat cap onto the developer cream... No, that can't be right...
Debbie: Take this off...
Lucie: Got it. Remove the flat cap... Oh, shake first... Pierce opening of the lightening cream...
That's this... and squeeze contents into this bottle...
Replace the flat cap on... and shake.
Wait, we forgot to put the powder packet in too...
Replace the cap... and shake vigorously.
Until it's creamy and rich.
Okay so, you can't leave this on after the mixture
is complete because it might burst. Part your hair, squeeze the bleach ombre mixture evenly
onto the brush, and then holding the brush horizontally, brush the lengths and
the ends... Once the bottom layer is complete, drop another section of hair and repeat.
Okay?
Debbie: I'm not in the video, am I?
Lucie: No.
Debbie: I don't want to be in it.
Lucie: So what are you doing?
Debbie: I don't know what I'm doing. You said to put it on the brush?
Lucie: Mmhmm. Wait, but aren't you going to give me
highlight streaks and not just make my whole head blonde?
Debbie: I'm gonna put some streaks still.
Lucie: Okay!
Debbie: These are all streaks.
Lucie: Smells... strong.
Debbie: Does it say to time it?
Lucie: 25 to 45.
Debbie: Put a little on my hand and just make some streaks...
Lucie: But I like thick streaks...
Mom?
Debbie: I'm not gonna... I'm not listening to you...
Lucie: What?
*both laugh*
Debbie: But I don't want stripes in your hair... and I don't want to be responsible for stripey hair!
Lucie: Well you're making thin stripes!
Debbie: I'm not! This will blend in and look really nice. Since
you're paying the price you are, you're getting what I'm making.
Lucie: What's the price?
Debbie: Free.
Lucie: Oh.
I think I need more gummie bears...
Debbie: I actually bought another kit when we went out, in case this doesn't lighten it enough...
Lucie: Okay. What's that one look like? Why don't we just do both at once while we're here?
Debbie: Both kits?
Lucie: Yeah. Because I want it light and we're gonna be upset if it's not done...
I'll open the other kit while we're here...
All right... This is the other kit: Garnier
Nutrisse highlighting application kit... with avocado, olive, and shea. Multi-Lights...
Alright, let's open this one.
This one didn't come with any directions?!
Debbie: What's this, Lucie?
Lucie: Ohhh, directions!
More gloves! For the grocery store.
Empty the entire contents of A into
the larger section... that's this. Cream developer. Open packet of highlighting
powder B and empty contents into the same section. For subtle results, leave on
for 15 minutes. For dramatic results leave on for 20.
Debbie: For this one?
Lucie: For this one I'm mixing.
Is my hair gonna burn off?
Debbie: I don't know. Maybe.
Lucie: Alright. Con los guantes puestos en juega el cabello
has que el agua salga clara. Para terminar, topica
el conditionado: nourishing conditioner D in the kit, for two to
five minutes. Okay.
Good thing I took Spanish.
So I'm all applied with the first kit...
Debbie: Hold this for me.
Lucie: Oh, something's happening... I'm itchy... So I'm
all applied with the first kit and she's now moving on to layer it with the
second kit... This could be a bad move... we could be burning my hair off...
but we're hoping for the best. Right mom?
I also don't really worry too much about my hair, because it always grows back... You
can always cut it off...
Debbie: That's true...
Lucie: Woah, that was a big stroke...
Debbie: I'm gonna lineate it with the brush.
Lucie: Okay... It's in my eye...
Debbie: Well you're in charge of your eye. I'm doing the hair!
Lucie: I think I'm having an allergic reaction...
Debbie: 'Cause you're touching your face!
Lucie: Um, a little.
It's kind of all over me...
Debbie: I'm not a professional...
Lucie: You're doing a good job. You kind of look like a
professional... Have you ever done this before?
Debbie: You're my only client.
Lucie: Oh gosh... Oh gosh!
So we should tell everyone... She's a painter. She paints on canvas, so it
seems like it's coming pretty naturally to her... Looking good.
Debbie: Hold it just a second...
Lucie: What's wrong? Am I knotty or something? Wait, mom...
The whole back my head itches.
Debbie: Well, then you are having a reaction.
Lucie: We didn't test it out on a single strand
as they asked us to...
Debbie: I think it's getting light.
Lucie: Is my hair falling out?
Debbie: No.
Why is it so knotty?
Debbie: I don't... This stuff just makes it knotty.
Lucie: And now we wait. Let's go show Michael...
Michael: What's going on?
Lucie: I'm highlighting...
Michael: Looks great...
Lucie: Yeah? You like it?
Michael: Yeah.
Lucie: Hey.
How's my hair?
Jimmy: Wet.
Lucie: Thanks for the stellar reaction.
It's been enough time. We can kind of see it
starting to lighten beneath the color... So it's time to get in the shower, rinse it
all off, use the conditioner that was provided, and then I will blow dry my
hair and see how blonde it looks. See you soon!
I'm out of the shower... Time to blow dry and we'll see the final result.
My dad wanted to help blow-dry...
Jimmy: Why not?
Lucie: So let's do it.
Do you know how to do it? No no, OW!
You go under. Yeah.
Nice... Nice, nice, nice.
Jimmy: Sorry!
Lucie: There you go.
Jimmy: So, what's new? How 'bout those Mets?
Thanks for coming into this salon...
You gotta drop down another section.
Lucie: Look at this blonde.
He's really scraping up my neck with that brush!
Jimmy: Sorry... No charge for that.
Lucie: OW...
