Hey Blair! Mega fan with good intentions here. If youre concerned about extensions causing thinning switch back and forth between the extensions and wigs. As a Black woman I’ve been wearing different types of heavier and lighter extensions my entire life and they do slightly thin your hair especially more sensitive spots like the hair by your temples. Spacing out the extensions with wigs gives your scalp a break from tension. I hope this message is well received. Your hair looks aloooooot healthier and I’m super happy for you, but with thinning and extensions prevention is better than cure. Love you!! Also please wear special glasses while doing kenzi that shit is bad for your eyes ❤️
I’m so glad he told you no. I know that sounds terrible but he’s saving your hair. Ask him to gradually move your hair from chunky highlights to babylights over time and it will blend better. Schwarzkopf Blond me bleach has a bond “builder” in it and is better for your hair. Also try unite’s daily blond maintenance line it will hold your toner better and is more gentle on bleached hair smells awful though.
Be careful ! Schwarzkopf Blonde Me is not better than your hair, it it VERY strong and is meant for hair that can handle the strength - a better choice would be Redken Flash Lift w PH Bonder
Veteran blonde here! In case this information is useful for anyone, for years I spent a fortune on the best hairdressers and products, and did the whole no heat thing, and my hair was always damaged and wouldn’t grow past my boobs. When I started bleaching my own hair (not sitting under heat like the salon, and watching it minute by minute so it never over-processes, rather than them setting an alarm and leaving you to work on other clients) and sleeping with my hair in braids and a silk bonnet (so much better than pillowcase!), my platinum hair is in crazy good condition and has now grown almost to my waist. Not wearing my hair out everyday where it gets tangled has also been a game-changer. It’s simple advice I ignored for ages, but once I finally did it, I’ve saved so much money and have never been happier with my hair :) good luck! ❤️🌸
My story: I was platinum blonde for 12 years and last year I got so sick of having my hair so damaged that I decided to cut them to chin lenght and let them live and heal. I realized my hair is actually not the priority in my life. I rather focus on being healthy overall. I do get highlights once in 6 months and that's enough for my satisfaction. I'll rather have brown healthy hair than frizzy damaged yellowish looking noodles on my head. Think about it... your hair will always fall off if you keep damaging it, just leave them alone for 2 years and you'll see miracles. You still will be pretty with shorter and highlighted hair.
I did the same! I died my hair a neutral color closer to my natural tone, and then I left it alone for over three years. Not dye, no bleach, no heat at all, it grew the longest it had been since I was 10 years old!! Then I got some highlights and my hair was fried 😭 had to cut around 8inches because I can’t stand the feeling of dry ends. It’s been a year now, still trying to grow it out 😩 I will never touch it again, only getting baby lights every 12 months to blend my regrowth
@@dopaminefiend6182 exactly, I hate the feeling of fried hair. It gets so separated and thin at the bottom that it makes me so mad that I always cut it off. Also to find a good hairdresser who actually cares for your hair is a must. Over-bleaching is a number one thing to avoid and hairdressers who do that are not what I call professionals.
I didn’t dye my hair at all for 5-6 years. It is naturally very dark. I didn’t like it at all sadly. I just started going very blonde. But I found a blonde specialist and we have a really good plan. My hair is soft and weirdly I have less breakage than I did before without dying it at all. I think it’s a combo of how she is doing the blonde plus the products I am using. 😊
@@lucialapina9273 try Unites hair oil for blondes. It’s in the purple bottle. You’ll have to find a salon that sells it. I always hated hair oil but this stuff is a game changer. Do a few pumps in your hands and go through mid length to ends. Then whatever is left on your hands, smooth with the palms of your hands at the top of your head. Very lightly and it will lay down any breakage so nicely and make your hair feel so soft and not greasy looking at all!
KEY TIP FOR ANYONE: If you want your hair to grow faster instead of gradually you need to... 1. stop applying heat 2. remove extensions 3. take a break from bleaching your hair 4. take supplements (biotin, collagen, iron) 5. try using a product that has minoxidil (i.e. Rogaine) 6. at home hair masks once or twice a week (i.e. macadamia nut oil, almond oil) Hair growth is not magic. If you completely gave a break to your hair for 3 months you would achieve the results you want.
@@CaseTurner IKR! I do not understand why everyone considers Olaplex a holy grail. If it is used too frequently it can actually dry your hair out because of a specific ingredient it contains!
Exactly if you leave your hair alone it does it’s thing. Just look at children’s hair it grows long and healthy because it doesn’t get any heat or dye and is left alone for the most part.
If you want to put in the effo, get hair scissors, put on a show and every now and then go through your hair to look for damaged bit and snip them off. That way you get more damage than just a trim and it won't take off healthy hair
Girl not to scare you but my entire life I’ve had thick healthy hair. I had keratin extensions one time and now it’s thinning an breaking 3 years later. My current hairdresser explained that a very common experience with keratin extensions.
I loved my all over bleach but I recently added in some lowlights and did highlights on the new growth bc you sharing your hair journey saved me! I could already see the damage starting 😳 thank you for your honesty & transparency walnut
Nothing is horrible about being a brunette- just a personal preference. My hair was always blonde but as I got older it got darker so I started highlighting it when I was around 17. I tried brunette because it would be way less maintenance but it just didn’t feel like me and I didn’t like it on myself. I don’t know if it’s the same for Blair, but that’s my story/reason 🤷🏼♀️😂
It's not like that, it's about taking the time and money to get to blonde, because you like it, and if you let it back to brunette, it's a whole other job to get back, on top of liking the look
Honestly the way your hair is progressing right now is great. Keep up with the lowlights + highlights so that the dark pieces make the bright pieces appear even brighter. As a fellow blonde it does suck when your hair starts to look darker and significantly matte.
Blair, you are already gorg & you could rock so many different demi permanent hair colors. I could totally see you slaying strawberry blonde, it would be less damaging & so much easier to maintain. Much love 💕
I’ve heard the keratin extensions are really damaging! But I’m glad your hair is coming back ❤️ there is nothing worse then hair loss/breakage! And the highlights look great 😎 Also I’m glad to hear you’re around less toxic people. If you are around people that make you feel bad you need to get them out of your life asap
I died my hair blonde for a few years but fighting my dark natural color was such a mission. I have long beautiful hair and I ruined it with bleach and it cost so much to maintain. I realized my hair actually looks better with my natural color. I save so much money and my hair is healthier. I sometimes miss the blonde but this makes my life so much better.
I was blonde for a very long time and used to do literally anything to keep my hair as light as possible - my hair was (obviously) not in good condition at all 😭 What I found helps is doing a coconut oil mask or rice water mask every so often. If you are using keratin treatments be careful not to use them too often bc they can cause breakage. Also beware of hats ( dad hats mainly) ! Even though it covers roots, if you wear them too often they can contribute to breakage. Ps. Love your videos ❤️ I'm a Scorpio Mercury and Venus too! 💀
B! Just so you know - it’s natural and normal for us to loose 50-100 strands of hair a day! It still happens with extensions… so when you take them out you see the loss you would of otherwise had…
Lmaooo "here is a broll of my hair products I've used...." .... no broll hahaha "Here is a picture of what my hair used to look like ..." .... no pictures Hahahahhahah I can not right now hahahahahha love the chaotic energy!!!!!
Okay - just found you and I’m starting to look back at your hair journey. 1-2 years ago my hair went to that awful 2-inch length like you had, right at the back of my head, at the end of where my hair parts. I don’t know what caused mine - I don’t bleach it, haven’t dyed it in years, and I barely ever use heat. I’ve been trying everything to cover it up and help it grow but I’m just so done being embarrassed about it! Thank you for being so open about your journey, I will be looking into what you’re using for sure. Congrats on the progress :)
@@nottheone582 ….I bet you’re exactly right. I was in the most stressful period of my life exactly 2 years ago. I actually had a short burst of silver (it all gone back to brown except for two strands) but somehow I didn’t put the later hair loss to it!
I have the jx styles extensions and they are amazing!! Literally the best I have ever had! My stylist sews the extensions on to beads in my hair, no breakage and it grows crazy fast!
Girl I’ve had all the extensions- k tips are my favorite too, and I love going platinum. Just sharing some tips I’ve learned from doing hair and personal experience with extensions: Some of the hair you see coming out at the roots is the hair you would naturally lose (literally 1/3 of our hair is in the process of falling out and the other 2/3 are either in a growth or living phase- it’s just how hair grows) That being said, excessive tension can pull out ‘living’ hair from the roots. Careful maintenance is the key- loosely putting your hair up while sleeping, silk or satin pillowcases, gentle brushes, sulfate free shampoos, gently washing the roots- no friction! (slow deliberate zig zag motions will get the oils from between the bonds and stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, start at the nape with shampoo and work your way up to your crown and hairline, the length doesn’t need as much shampooing as you would think, and seriously, no friction- it’s going to blow out your hair’s cuticles and put too much pressure on where the bonds are at your scalp). Air drying is best, but if you’re going to blow dry- use the cool setting so it doesn’t melt the bonds (ikyk they’re applied with heat- so naturally, heat will weaken them too) Alcohol based products like hairspray and aerosol dry shampoos will also weaken the bonds, so only use those on the length- bumble and bumble makes a good powder dry shampoo, if you need one. and most of all- no boy is worth losing any hair over, no matter how fun it is or how good it feels- if he pulls too hard, cut him tf off from touching your luscious mane- he’s not the one who’s going to have to get it fixed, you are. I hear you about the roots, I’m in the same spot, but trust- it looks good and shadow roots are in rn… You’re on the right track!! And your hair is looking gorgeous, beautiful!! 😘
So glad your hair is doing so much better! I went through a similar hair story as yours. I started using coconut oil to soak my ends in and such and then started using it on my scalp too not knowing anything about hair and hair growth and my hair has grown over a foot since Oct of 2021. And last week actually, I started googling hair growth oils and coconut oil is one of the best to get the hair growth boosted as well as peppermint, tea tree oil and rosemary. Funny, I use tea tree oil and peppermint stuff for fleas for my Dog and her hair is silky smooth! lol
Please go bronde and if you get extensions again don’t get so many so there’s not so much weight on your natural hair and maybe like collarbone length then it will still look full. Your hair is growing which is great but that doesn’t mean the ends are healthy, you’ll still be just as pretty even if you aren’t blonde blonde and your hair will look and feel heaps better
Blaire! I just wanted to say I’m a big fan and I never comment on videos but I’m so early to this video I thought I’d say I love your content! You’re looking so happy and healthy and you’re glowing girl!!!! ✨✨💜
I've had blonde hair for over 8 years now, it's literally buttcrack lenght lol and it keeps growing like a weed, I do get it done at the salon 6-12 months, I get balayage with highlights so even when it grows out it still looks great. I tried a bunch of shampoos from expensive to drugstore, atm I love the moroccanoil the most, I use olaplex maybe once a week or every two weeks because it makes my hair feel super oily and heavy and i literally have no volume with it. I drink a bunch of vitamins (yes they do help) my nails grow annoyingly fast as well because of them. I actually haven't used any heat tools in over 2 years, my hair air dries and then I brush it(tho i want to get the dyson once it's finally in stock). Silk pillowcases and having your hair in a braid when you sleep helps a lot too. Getting trims whenever you see split ends is crucial (haven't gotten any for months now tho) . People always say that blonde hair is damaged but that's not the case lol, if you take good care of your hair it will look and be healthy. Ps, I have light honey blonde hair.
As someone who’s hair grows pretty damn fast, I second only washing your hair once a week and not brushing it unless you absolutely have to or before and after you shower. I’ve always thought that made mine grow cause I’ve definitely noticed a difference when I’m washing every other day! Love you Blair, praying to the hair gods for you babe 😘✨
So glad your hair is doing better. As a blonde who has been getting darker and darker over the years, I feel your pain! P.S.- Saw your story on Instagram!
your hair looks amazing. you look amazing. you are amazing!!!! hairdressers here are really for the sew in method as well but like I still have flashbacks of my awful clip in job and seeing the line of the weave. I loved the kind you have in but not being able to use the hair was too costly for me #studentlife .Right now I have tape ins, which I love but they definitely are damaging
completely feel that "rather go bald than brunette" energy. i do not feel like myself as a brunette at all, it makes me so depressed even thinking about going darker. my hair is naturally almost black, so i take lots of preventative measures to keep it looking and feeling healthy. it's a pain sometimes but it's worth it. extensions are a blonde's bff too, it makes keeping your natural hair in good shape a lot easier because frequent trims aren't as scary (i hate cutting my hair and losing length)
@@laur8961 Vacuous because I found *one* superficial thing that makes me feel happy, confident, and secure in myself? Either way, it's hyperbole! Haha Sure, I wouldn't be happy to have to go brunette, but *obviously* I don't literally mean I'd rather go bald-just like Blair obviously didn't mean it in a literal sense when she said mentioned similar sentiments in her video. Tdlr; issa fucken joke gorl, can't we just be nice to each other??!! the world is falling apart around us!! kindness and humanity is all we've got left!! 💖💖
I don't mean this mean but have you been to a therapist? This seems like an obsessive thing and saying you would rather be bald then brunette - sure that might be a joke but jokes are often masked with the truth....I can clearly see where the extensions are. Plantium is not sustainable with your hair the dark level it is and I really hope you can stick to ONE stylist. A trusted and understanding stylist will tell you no platinum is not a good option for you. Golden blond, dirty blonde would be beautiful. I really hope that you learn to love yourself better even without a certain type of hair.....it makes me sad, honestly.
It probably looks like you’re losing a lot of hair with k tip extensions but the hair you naturally shed is gonna be stuck in the extensions and look like loss but is normal. You should look out for a white bulb or your roots being ripped out with the extensions to see if it’s damage
K18 is incredible and actually heals hair! Virtue labs utilizes human hair derived keratin so it also truly heals hair! I prefer the virtue conditioners over their shampoos. had to grow out a pixie and went back blonde and I am so healthy and gorgeous now!!
We have almost the same chart and that’s terrifying I’ve never seen someone’s so close to mine 😂😅 your hair is getting so healthy! I had to shave all of mine off into a pixie cut in 2020 mid quarantine so I feel the need for extensions
I've been going between blonde, pink, purple, grey and blue hair for 10 years with dark brown hair naturally. Only had a major hair break once and gave me a crazy mullet. The pain is really and I think most of us go to far at least once and then learn hopefully 😆
i used to bleach my hair blonde religiously but it got so dry, brittle and dead that decided to go the extreme and dyed my hair brown and stop using any heat and my hair has never looked or felt better. it's soft, shiny, healthy and easy to brush and never falls out now. it seems scary and will take time to get used to the change but the long term benefits r so worth it!!!!!!
I was blonde for a long time but I went brunette four days ago even though I didn’t want to just because of how damaged my hair were and im starting to getting used to it :(
Girl! I did the same thing, broke my bleached hair with a silicone scalp brush in the shower. I do extensions with this absolutely magical woman in Vegas. They are super invisible and my hair is growing healthy and no keratin tips for me.
I used to bleach my hair out for years. Then my roots recently turned black also. And I just embraced that and have been dying my hair cool toned black since. The only thing I regert is that people tell me I have the same hair color as my dog's fur, when I walk her lmao. She's got very pretty 😍 fur though!
Start oiling your hair (traditional indian method)to Promote new growth 🥰 I love Black Jamaican or Haitian castor oil and the excess through the ends to help keep the blonde moisturized!
Blair, thank you for the update! I’m a bleach 👑 too, it’s always trial and error, will ANY OF US BLEACH 👑 GET IT RIGHT?!! and be happy with their hair? So many of us do all platinum or chunky highlights then it’s exhausting so we go back to dark then get bored or hate it and start all over again! ❤️
Putting Rice water in your hair works so well you can find a bunch of videos on tik tok but my hair grew like two inches within a month and the short broken hairs on the top of my head have grown all the way to my cheek bone
Did you ever thought of having blond extensions and then not bleaching your actual hair, so the extensions kinda work as highlights? Does that make sense? Maybe that way you could grow it really really healthy and then bleach it again once its long again.
Hey b, just heard you say you like to wave your head around a lot and I want to say to be careful doing that because I'm going through hair loss right now caused by a bad prescription and I noticed the most hair loss the morning after a night out at a rave where I was doing the most and swinging my hair around a lot so that just stuck out to me when you said it because I literally thought it was all the physical damage to my hair I had done the night before but I've since realized it was the med I was taking but still I like to think I wouldn't have lost as much if I had been gentler with my hair that night kay that's all love you bye
I just wish you loved your brown hair. Guys love dark headed girls. It’s exotic and beautiful! I wish I didn’t have this white blonde hair. I just have to live with it because any other color washes my skin out. I wish I could have brown hair.
All the hair fell out of your head and onto your toes lolol I’m Eastern European too which is probably why I am obsessed with you because you are so amazing and beautiful
Liquid biotin mama 🙏🏻✨ my hairs grown so much. The biotin goes straight to the blood where as pill form takes a few months to get in your system. I get the cherry flavour off amazon 🍒✨ I always thought you would be an aquarius rising and you most probably are in vedic because its 28 degrees behind. Tropical pisces risings are the rarest 🤩
Ahhh I took biotin and it made my skin go so bad. I already have problematic skin in terms of spots/adult acne, which I sort of managed to get under control. I still get the occasional break out but when I attempted to take biotin my skin hated me, which was so sad because my hair fell out after being severely anaemic and I was desperate for it to work. I'm not sure what the reason behind it is, but apparently it can effect your skin sometimes
I love my tape ins 😭😭 they make my hair so much fuller and I’m lucky I can do them myself! Iv barely lost any hair but if I do it’s because I’m rough with any glue residue removal 💀
OMG you're a glowing walnut! the fish is obvs doing you good. if you're really worried about mercury, just avoid tuna, halibut & deep sea fish. you can still have salmon, ebi, crab and most other sushi. love u
Ex blonde (my profile pic is VERY OLD) I stopped highlighting my hair for about 2 years now, dye my own hair a deep brown and got all of the damage cut off and I mean alllll of it, cut the hair to my shoulders. My hair has grown back thick, strong and longer than it ever did before I will say it to anyone who will listen to me blonde is NOT worth it
How I fixed my hair ( redken acidic bonding shampoo, olaplex conditioner, K18 treatment!!!! Olaplex number 6 and shu uemura oil. This is the golden ratio I promise. Also my dyson airwrap, and nooooooooooo heat tools other than that. I can get it super smooth, super volumous, and super curly if I want.
Blair literally omg if you need new Miami friends?! I wanna meet you?! I live like an hour away but my best friend owns a house there so we’re there every other weekend or so! She’s a sag and does modeling (like runway not insta which is ok too*** lol) and the more I’ve watched you, you guys are exactly alike omg 🤩
BABE...COME TO DALLAS AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE BLONDE OF YOUR DREAMS.. (safely of course!) And yes.. Nutritive Kerastase is my fave too.. And IBE extensions are the best for your hair..(actually better than clip ins unless you take them out every night)
I use mint infused shampoo to help my roots grow and stay away from heat. it helped my hair grow sooo fast after having to cut it all off bc my bleached parts were breaking off.
I think it comes out black because of hormones? I know it changes hair color as you get older. When I was younger I had blonde hair and now it’s dark brown

honestly platinum isnt even her color, its a waste for no reason

Okay - just found you and I’m starting to look back at your hair journey. 1-2 years ago my hair went to that awful 2-inch length like you had, right at the back of my head, at the end of where my hair parts. I don’t know what caused mine - I don’t bleach it, haven’t dyed it in years, and I barely ever use heat. I’ve been trying everything to cover it up and help it grow but I’m just so done being embarrassed about it!
Thank you for being so open about your journey, I will be looking into what you’re using for sure. Congrats on the progress :)
stress maybe?
@@nottheone582 ….I bet you’re exactly right. I was in the most stressful period of my life exactly 2 years ago. I actually had a short burst of silver (it all gone back to brown except for two strands) but somehow I didn’t put the later hair loss to it!
I have the jx styles extensions and they are amazing!! Literally the best I have ever had! My stylist sews the extensions on to beads in my hair, no breakage and it grows crazy fast!
Girl I’ve had all the extensions- k tips are my favorite too, and I love going platinum. Just sharing some tips I’ve learned from doing hair and personal experience with extensions:
Some of the hair you see coming out at the roots is the hair you would naturally lose (literally 1/3 of our hair is in the process of falling out and the other 2/3 are either in a growth or living phase- it’s just how hair grows) That being said, excessive tension can pull out ‘living’ hair from the roots.
Careful maintenance is the key- loosely putting your hair up while sleeping, silk or satin pillowcases, gentle brushes, sulfate free shampoos, gently washing the roots- no friction! (slow deliberate zig zag motions will get the oils from between the bonds and stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, start at the nape with shampoo and work your way up to your crown and hairline, the length doesn’t need as much shampooing as you would think, and seriously, no friction- it’s going to blow out your hair’s cuticles and put too much pressure on where the bonds are at your scalp).
Air drying is best, but if you’re going to blow dry- use the cool setting so it doesn’t melt the bonds (ikyk they’re applied with heat- so naturally, heat will weaken them too)
Alcohol based products like hairspray and aerosol dry shampoos will also weaken the bonds, so only use those on the length- bumble and bumble makes a good powder dry shampoo, if you need one.
and most of all- no boy is worth losing any hair over, no matter how fun it is or how good it feels- if he pulls too hard, cut him tf off from touching your luscious mane- he’s not the one who’s going to have to get it fixed, you are.
I hear you about the roots, I’m in the same spot, but trust- it looks good and shadow roots are in rn…
You’re on the right track!! And your hair is looking gorgeous, beautiful!! 😘
So glad your hair is doing so much better! I went through a similar hair story as yours. I started using coconut oil to soak my ends in and such and then started using it on my scalp too not knowing anything about hair and hair growth and my hair has grown over a foot since Oct of 2021. And last week actually, I started googling hair growth oils and coconut oil is one of the best to get the hair growth boosted as well as peppermint, tea tree oil and rosemary. Funny, I use tea tree oil and peppermint stuff for fleas for my Dog and her hair is silky smooth! lol
Yes for your hair so happy for u x
Oh my godddd Blair is officially back!!!
Please go bronde and if you get extensions again don’t get so many so there’s not so much weight on your natural hair and maybe like collarbone length then it will still look full. Your hair is growing which is great but that doesn’t mean the ends are healthy, you’ll still be just as pretty even if you aren’t blonde blonde and your hair will look and feel heaps better
Blaire! I just wanted to say I’m a big fan and I never comment on videos but I’m so early to this video I thought I’d say I love your content! You’re looking so happy and healthy and you’re glowing girl!!!! ✨✨💜
Omg you liking my comment has made my night! Screenshotted and saved forever 🥰
Why don’t you try heatless curling for your hair?

Im happy that you are eating better and feeling better about youself, you deserve it because you are lovely!
As a member of the scorpio community, I speak for all of us when I say…. We are not Evil 😇👀🦂
I've had blonde hair for over 8 years now, it's literally buttcrack lenght lol and it keeps growing like a weed, I do get it done at the salon 6-12 months, I get balayage with highlights so even when it grows out it still looks great. I tried a bunch of shampoos from expensive to drugstore, atm I love the moroccanoil the most, I use olaplex maybe once a week or every two weeks because it makes my hair feel super oily and heavy and i literally have no volume with it. I drink a bunch of vitamins (yes they do help) my nails grow annoyingly fast as well because of them. I actually haven't used any heat tools in over 2 years, my hair air dries and then I brush it(tho i want to get the dyson once it's finally in stock). Silk pillowcases and having your hair in a braid when you sleep helps a lot too. Getting trims whenever you see split ends is crucial (haven't gotten any for months now tho) . People always say that blonde hair is damaged but that's not the case lol, if you take good care of your hair it will look and be healthy. Ps, I have light honey blonde hair.
So proud of your hair
As someone who’s hair grows pretty damn fast, I second only washing your hair once a week and not brushing it unless you absolutely have to or before and after you shower. I’ve always thought that made mine grow cause I’ve definitely noticed a difference when I’m washing every other day! Love you Blair, praying to the hair gods for you babe 😘✨
So glad your hair is doing better. As a blonde who has been getting darker and darker over the years, I feel your pain!
P.S.- Saw your story on Instagram!
A video that's helpful, AND FROM MY COMFORT CZcamsR, YESSS
your hair looks amazing. you look amazing. you are amazing!!!! hairdressers here are really for the sew in method as well but like I still have flashbacks of my awful clip in job and seeing the line of the weave. I loved the kind you have in but not being able to use the hair was too costly for me #studentlife .Right now I have tape ins, which I love but they definitely are damaging
Glad you are around better people now Blair
i gotchu on the coffee fish combo girl , love my fishies all the time too but only lately like i used to hate it altogether🤣
completely feel that "rather go bald than brunette" energy. i do not feel like myself as a brunette at all, it makes me so depressed even thinking about going darker. my hair is naturally almost black, so i take lots of preventative measures to keep it looking and feeling healthy. it's a pain sometimes but it's worth it. extensions are a blonde's bff too, it makes keeping your natural hair in good shape a lot easier because frequent trims aren't as scary (i hate cutting my hair and losing length)

Ur sick
@@Username-ds5hh The illest babey 🤪😮💨
Yikes 😬 Vacuous af
@@laur8961 Vacuous because I found *one* superficial thing that makes me feel happy, confident, and secure in myself? Either way, it's hyperbole! Haha Sure, I wouldn't be happy to have to go brunette, but *obviously* I don't literally mean I'd rather go bald-just like Blair obviously didn't mean it in a literal sense when she said mentioned similar sentiments in her video.
Tdlr; issa fucken joke gorl, can't we just be nice to each other??!! the world is falling apart around us!! kindness and humanity is all we've got left!! 💖💖
I don't mean this mean but have you been to a therapist? This seems like an obsessive thing and saying you would rather be bald then brunette - sure that might be a joke but jokes are often masked with the truth....I can clearly see where the extensions are. Plantium is not sustainable with your hair the dark level it is and I really hope you can stick to ONE stylist. A trusted and understanding stylist will tell you no platinum is not a good option for you.
Golden blond, dirty blonde would be beautiful.
I really hope that you learn to love yourself better even without a certain type of hair.....it makes me sad, honestly.
Ur juul being ur comfort piece lol I love it
It probably looks like you’re losing a lot of hair with k tip extensions but the hair you naturally shed is gonna be stuck in the extensions and look like loss but is normal. You should look out for a white bulb or your roots being ripped out with the extensions to see if it’s damage
K18 is incredible and actually heals hair! Virtue labs utilizes human hair derived keratin so it also truly heals hair! I prefer the virtue conditioners over their shampoos. had to grow out a pixie and went back blonde and I am so healthy and gorgeous now!!
I can see your reasoning for doing bead over invisible bead wefts. They will sag a little bit, but mine doesn’t sag on me til around week 8-10.
I missed uuu💕
I still think you should go either a light brown or maybe ginger so you can stop bleaching your hair so much and it can be healthy
Blaaaaiiir it's looking so good

shoutout to this lovely comment section for the hair advice, lord knows i need it too
We have almost the same chart and that’s terrifying I’ve never seen someone’s so close to mine 😂😅 your hair is getting so healthy! I had to shave all of mine off into a pixie cut in 2020 mid quarantine so I feel the need for extensions
Spray rosemary on your roots for hair growth! I also heard good things about barley grass
Hi Walnut happy to see you!

I've been going between blonde, pink, purple, grey and blue hair for 10 years with dark brown hair naturally. Only had a major hair break once and gave me a crazy mullet. The pain is really and I think most of us go to far at least once and then learn hopefully 😆
i used to bleach my hair blonde religiously but it got so dry, brittle and dead that decided to go the extreme and dyed my hair brown and stop using any heat and my hair has never looked or felt better. it's soft, shiny, healthy and easy to brush and never falls out now. it seems scary and will take time to get used to the change but the long term benefits r so worth it!!!!!!
The hair is looking vastly improved. 💕 what about adding biotin? I started taking it and I noticed an improvement in my nails and hair.
Great upload from you!
"Ill live laugh love my way out of it" lmaoo
blair. i have felt so connected to you always and our main three are all the exact same. you are my soul sister
I was blonde for a long time but I went brunette four days ago even though I didn’t want to just because of how damaged my hair were and im starting to getting used to it :(
Girl! I did the same thing, broke my bleached hair with a silicone scalp brush in the shower. I do extensions with this absolutely magical woman in Vegas. They are super invisible and my hair is growing healthy and no keratin tips for me.
I used to bleach my hair out for years. Then my roots recently turned black also. And I just embraced that and have been dying my hair cool toned black since. The only thing I regert is that people tell me I have the same hair color as my dog's fur, when I walk her lmao. She's got very pretty 😍 fur though!
You look gorgeous in that top 😍
love youuu

My kenzzi significantly lightened my sunspots as a fun add on benefit! 😀
Start oiling your hair (traditional indian method)to Promote new growth 🥰 I love Black Jamaican or Haitian castor oil and the excess through the ends to help keep the blonde moisturized!
Queen 👑
YESS KERASTASE GENESIS SHAMPOO AND MASK MADE MY HAIR STOP BREAKING
Blair, thank you for the update!
I’m a bleach 👑 too, it’s always trial and error, will ANY OF US BLEACH 👑 GET IT RIGHT?!! and be happy with their hair? So many of us do all platinum or chunky highlights then it’s exhausting so we go back to dark then get bored or hate it and start all over again!
❤️
Putting Rice water in your hair works so well you can find a bunch of videos on tik tok but my hair grew like two inches within a month and the short broken hairs on the top of my head have grown all the way to my cheek bone
Did you ever thought of having blond extensions and then not bleaching your actual hair, so the extensions kinda work as highlights? Does that make sense? Maybe that way you could grow it really really healthy and then bleach it again once its long again.
Need names/links to these magical products!
Hey b, just heard you say you like to wave your head around a lot and I want to say to be careful doing that because I'm going through hair loss right now caused by a bad prescription and I noticed the most hair loss the morning after a night out at a rave where I was doing the most and swinging my hair around a lot so that just stuck out to me when you said it because I literally thought it was all the physical damage to my hair I had done the night before but I've since realized it was the med I was taking but still I like to think I wouldn't have lost as much if I had been gentler with my hair that night kay that's all love you bye
I just wish you loved your brown hair. Guys love dark headed girls. It’s exotic and beautiful! I wish I didn’t have this white blonde hair. I just have to live with it because any other color washes my skin out. I wish I could have brown hair.
you would look so good with a dark brown seriously
All the hair fell out of your head and onto your toes lolol I’m Eastern European too which is probably why I am obsessed with you because you are so amazing and beautiful
Liquid biotin mama 🙏🏻✨ my hairs grown so much. The biotin goes straight to the blood where as pill form takes a few months to get in your system. I get the cherry flavour off amazon 🍒✨
I always thought you would be an aquarius rising and you most probably are in vedic because its 28 degrees behind. Tropical pisces risings are the rarest 🤩
Biotin is key.
@@Mushumom_0523 Hi Walnuts pop over to my last video for messages of positivity
Ahhh I took biotin and it made my skin go so bad. I already have problematic skin in terms of spots/adult acne, which I sort of managed to get under control. I still get the occasional break out but when I attempted to take biotin my skin hated me, which was so sad because my hair fell out after being severely anaemic and I was desperate for it to work. I'm not sure what the reason behind it is, but apparently it can effect your skin sometimes
@@x-starlight-x yeah i went spotty too but they have gone now 🙏🏻
@@x-starlight-x sending ya so much love. Tell the doc or derm to test your ferratin levels. Thats to do with iron but its separate doll
I’ve seen pictures of you brown/blond and you looked so hot Blair! But do what you like! Good to see your hair is getting healthier
Blair, idk if u heard of biotin but it’s a really good suplement to make your hair grow faster , I’ve used and it was incredible to me

My laser hair removal place says that biotin will negate the results of laser (which Blair is doing) 😭
She said she eats like 10 hair gummies a day, they all contain biotin.
@@fmlkrules yeah, I’m doing laser too and have stopped since then
@@g.7702 I’m not sure but they might not have enough biotin bc there’s like 10 different things in there
Do you take lots of vitamins? I would love that addition to you regime for you.❤️
I love my tape ins 😭😭 they make my hair so much fuller and I’m lucky I can do them myself!
Iv barely lost any hair but if I do it’s because I’m rough with any glue residue removal 💀

Tape ins have been the best thing for my hair! My hair grows so nicely and long and they really help thicken up my thin hair.
OMG you're a glowing walnut! the fish is obvs doing you good. if you're really worried about mercury, just avoid tuna, halibut & deep sea fish. you can still have salmon, ebi, crab and most other sushi. love u
Blairrrrr..... Where have you been boo i missed you🤗🥺😍
Ex blonde (my profile pic is VERY OLD) I stopped highlighting my hair for about 2 years now, dye my own hair a deep brown and got all of the damage cut off and I mean alllll of it, cut the hair to my shoulders. My hair has grown back thick, strong and longer than it ever did before I will say it to anyone who will listen to me blonde is NOT worth it
How I fixed my hair ( redken acidic bonding shampoo, olaplex conditioner, K18 treatment!!!! Olaplex number 6 and shu uemura oil. This is the golden ratio I promise. Also my dyson airwrap, and nooooooooooo heat tools other than that. I can get it super smooth, super volumous, and super curly if I want.
Oh!!! And I use slip silk pillow cases and slip silk scrunchies. Promise all of these are the best things for my hair, platinum blonde here
Omg Redken ABC and K18 are both literal gold 🥰 *chef kiss*

Dear Walnut, hair also feeds from the food you eat not only shampoos and oils :)
You need to stop, leave your hair alone your are beautiful anyway, just stoooooop is not healthy to be so obsessive about this
BABE...COME TO DALLAS AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE BLONDE OF YOUR DREAMS.. (safely of course!) And yes.. Nutritive Kerastase is my fave too.. And IBE extensions are the best for your hair..(actually better than clip ins unless you take them out every night)
I would LOVE to see her just go dark and embrace that root colour 😍😍😍
SWEET BABY JESUS JUST CHILL OUT ON THE BLONDE HAIR COLOR . Your beautiful. I think you could do any hair color !
Love your hair,. I am thinking of getting the hair extensions k tips, do you like them? Thanks for uploading an update
K18 made my platinum bleach blonde hair feel like VIRGIN hair
I use mint infused shampoo to help my roots grow and stay away from heat. it helped my hair grow sooo fast after having to cut it all off bc my bleached parts were breaking off.
I think it comes out black because of hormones? I know it changes hair color as you get older. When I was younger I had blonde hair and now it’s dark brown
Girl 100% try IBE’s!!
Lace front wig especially a glue-less one would be a great idea
