Hi everyone, Hurricane and I are here because we're both looking a little bit
scruffy, yes you need your hair done as well, but today it's all about my hair
You know the thing about having long hair is you kind of forget that you got
to get rid of all those dead ends and also I want to talk about, I'm growing in
the silver hair as you know and I need a few little streaks just to bring this
color a little bit still matching the top
So here I am and about to get this scruffiness all treated and cut and
everything else and I'm a few minutes early, it's always good to be early, and a
in a few minutes let's see what's happening
and then I'm trying to keep in your natural color and between the old color I'll lighten up those pieces
Sounds good. Okay so Josie was talking about if you
have really dark, like black hair or red hair and you've just got the little
skunk coming through here how it is a process you're not even going to
probably like it the first time it happens because what they have to do is
highlights and lowlights as well as a toner. So you're gonna have the highlights and
you're gonna have the low-light so let's say you've got red hair you may have
bleached white and you may have the red but the bleached white, because they have
to put a toner on it, might end up looking a little bit yellow so you might
go... this isn't what I want, but eventually as you go back to the colorist and
have it done more and more it starts to fade out and right now I don't need to
tone around my hair anymore I'm seeing my colorist maybe once every six months
and the beautiful silver is really being captured here. I don't stop putting a
little bit of blonde in here and matchy-matchy. Alright so I'm talking to
Josie here about coloring hair my favorite colorist, she's so amazing and she
was saying that a lot of women because um maybe they're over 50 and they're in
jobs and they're sort of, they don't want to look at that old yet
However the natural white or gray comes through and the question is
are you going to wait until retirement to do this and if you're not in a job or
people are kind of maybe judging your age, and hey we know that happens, then
maybe this process is good. Josie also mentioned to me that it's a long process
to get the hair done, as I mentioned before, but also with somebody like
myself if I had black hair and it might have to just cut your hair and
have it shorter so that the process that could possibly with someone like me
could take two years of going back and forth to get your hair done. It's shorter
because your hair is shorter so I'm learning lots of great things from Josie
and now back to the process. Okay so I've got a mixture of like the bleach on my
hair and also you saw that gold um so we're just there's not a lot that's
really being done here but we're just kind of smoothing it out and they won't
come a day when I wouldn't have to have the gold put in at all because it's
all going to be matchy-matchy. Okay so another thing that Josie and I were talking about are
those cheap colors that you put in your hair for Halloween in that so if I were
to on my silver here put a cheap red on what would happen to my hair... probably
turn pink, right, yeah and because the pigments in your silver or your white
hair just eat up this cheaper kind of color
try to wash it out you know you'll probably be pink for a while
Okay so I don't know if you can even hear me right now but I've been given a
latte you know this is also really a pampering time so although I look a
little weird I feel so good when my hair has been trimmed and my hair has been
done and you get so looked after at these places as well so that's a good
thing. Okay so even Bill got his latte in here and he's my cameraman so
he deserves a break right now while I'm baking and getting my hair setting. Okay
so now we bake and wait, not really baking but we're waiting
Okay so what Josie is doing right now is she's making sure that around my face is
sort of like more of a white blonde a look, right... yeah because sometimes that I
actually have dark hair coming in sometimes and it just looks awful so oh
the baby hairs that you can't put in foils
There you go, okay so we've done the little baby hairs now so I'm going to be
setting again but apparently she just sort of brushed on to the little baby
here so that framed my face so and Josie is also saying that if you want
to have your hair done like this book a consultation because there are good
colorist and then there's colorists that say they know what they're doing but
this is really something that somebody has to really have done for many years
and yeah you're gonna pay money for it but don't put your hair in the
hands of somebody who, this is their first time, and I wonder if it's
gonna work because it's important when you walk out of the the hair stylist you
want to be at least somewhat happy with what you've got, I mean it's your hair
Okay so now the foils are coming out and I understand you're using a special kind
of conditioner, it's a silver shampoo and conditioner and what I'll do is I'll put
a link on the blog I'll try to find this particular product and put a link on the
blog and show you some of these products that they use in the hairdresser's and
you can use at home. Hey maybe I should buy some of this. So this is what
I got to try to find for you guys and I'll look it up oh and that's the
conditioner the shampoo, shampoos and conditioners. I'll look it up and try to find it
for you
My favorite part this scalp massage... nighty-night
So this is Vince, he's my wonderful, marvelous hair stylist. You've got to do stuff with me today it's super long
yeah, take probably a good couple inches off the
length to keep it healthy. Yeah ,yeah I rely on Vince to know how much hair
has to come off because I let it go awhile so yeah take up all the dead
stuff , about two inches, okay it's sounds good.it's too much one length
Right, so we're gonna put some layers in and then again this everybody knows I'm
loving my natural hair so all right a little bit of shaper just giving it a
little shape
Much better, that's true you know when you go too long that just
drags your face down and you have no volume left. So Vince is going to
do the scrunching technique something like what I would do tip letting my hair
naturally dry
I love the color. I like the scrunchy look.
thumbs up
It's a little bit wild and I like it. Alright so I got my hair done, I've cut
off all those dead ends of my hair and I also I used to just color all my hair
blonde and now that I'm loving the silver you could probably see if Bill
can take a little bit of a close-up here how she's really matching the silver
now with the blonde and I'm just loving it. You know it's why not embrace this
beautiful shiny healthy hair that's coming in and not coloring it all the
time and the other thing that I found when I was there was this purple shampoo
and it's actually let me just see if I can show you, it's purple and what it is
is it's a shampoo I've just found out about it today for silver hair and if
you have silver hair and you've got like black hair or brown hair you probably
notice that after a while sometimes your silver is turning this nasty yellow
color and apparently if you use this about once every three shampoos it
really works well to keep the silver well looking silver and I know a lot of
you have requested that you find out what the products I'm using so what I'm
going to do in the first comment is I'm going to put a link back to my blog and
I will show you these products hopefully I can find this particular one and I'll
link to the products and other shampoos that I use as well and we do make a
little bit of money on that one so thank you so much for that it really, really
helps to keep us going in the videos too so appreciate that and do yourself a
favor if you really want to embrace your natural color spend a little bit of
money, I know it costs a little bit to begin with but you're worth it and in
the long run I probably see my hairdresser like once every six months
maybe four months and that's it just for a trim and for a little bit of
streak so it gets easier as you go along so I don't feel scruffy anymore but okay
little Yorkie you look a little bit scruffy you know what you look a little
bit scruffy and it's really, really cold outside so he's gonna go get his hair
cut soon and by the way everybody I just wanted really from the
