PART 1:
• DYING MY HAIR PURPLE!!...
Whoops, I did it again! I loved the purple hair in Part 1 so much that i've decided to come pack for round 2, but this time i'm trying out a brand called Dare. I bought this hair dye at Hairhouse Warehouse. The three shades I ended up using were shade 1 (Forget Me Not), Shade 4 (Forbidden Grape) and the "Pearl Toner & Pasteliser". In part 1 I bought a bunch of Schwarzkopf Live Pastels in Lilac Blush to dye my hair - things didn't quite go as planned with that product, so I decided to try a second time with a new brand, and i'm really happy with the results! I'll come back and update you on how many washes it lasted.
What do you guys think about my new hair? Leave your comments below and let me know suggestions for what I should do to my hair next!
If you're in Australia and want to try Dair temporary hair colour, this is where I bought them: (not sponsored or affilate)

putting the dark purple on your roots and then having it fade out into pastel purple would've looked so good ahhhhh
Ooh, that's a good idea! :D That would look really pretty too!
Literally what I were thinking💡
That was exactly what I was thinking!!!!!
That's what I was thinking
Omg I was thinking the same thing
"I'm a genius. Brad Mondo is quaking." 😂😂😂😂
I hope he sees this😆 sorry Alex we all love you 😍
Brad Mondo needs to see both videos
@@rebeccauehling6676 He does indeed
How did you know i yelled at my phone? 😙😭😂
I want them to do a colab where he reacts to her videos and sends her instructions to properly do her hair then add that to the reaction ~
We’ve all been there “one box will be plenty” yeah nah.
Haha yeah, one box is enough for shoulder length thinner hair 😂😂 done that misstake multiple times especially with bleach
Did that once😂🤣 now I know I’m a 4 boxer
i ALWAYS get like 4 small boxes even with my shoulder length hair now😂 i used to need 6 for my waist length thick ass curly hair and that length (literally over a foot) didn’t do much to cut it down. ALWAYS buy too much!!
Kyra Proulx for real always get more and even if you feel like it’s too much get an extra box 😂🤣
Dude before I cut me hair 2 weeks ago it too me 8 boxes of ion color for my hair
“Pastelizers” are just a scam!! just use white/colourless conditioner!
Or even white conditioner!!!! To make the colors pastel!!!!!
stariimidniight By colourless i meant white ooops 😂😂 I have saved so much money on hair dye from bottles of bright ass pink hair dye and diluting it with $1 conditioner 😂
Exactly, buy the darker purple and dilute with 3-5x the amount of conditioner or more. 1 tube of the grape, plus a few big 1L bottles of white conditioners = about 5 applications. $5-10 per dye job. 👌
Also by only shampooing first, you are technically conditioning your hair as you colour it when it's mixed with conditioner. I would sit and relax and leave mine in for hours. Deep conditioning and gorgeous EVEN colour!
Shelby Cat exactly! shampoo and dry your hair and the dye will go though the hair shaft easier since the hair cuticle is open plus if your hair is dry the colour won’t be diluted by the water and the colour will stay for longer. It’s amazing how much hair brands will basically scam customers who don’t know any better! I buy my pink tubes from Brite and they last me a year from diluting them with conditioner!
your hair is patchy bc the hair porosity is different from your roots to your ends. colouring your hair over and over won't fix the patchy-ness. lavender is a really hard colour to get consistent throughout tips to roots and it's something that fades within a few washes. in order to make it not patchy you just need to have your hair lightened with bleach more evenly but even so - it WILL still fade unevenly. no matter the brand of lavender hair colour you use. YOUR HAIR STILL LOOKS AMAZING THOOOO!!!! 💜 lavender hair is just so hard :') haha
Hairstylist / Licensed Cosmetologist here! Loving the videos, but lemme answer some of your questions you had throughout the video, as well as some of my own thoughts.
1) If you are going to lighten your hair with bleach, do it on unwashed hair, usually 2-3 days of wear. If you're only coloring the hair (like you did in this video) you want to make sure the hair is clean so the product can penetrate the hair. That's where the "no shampoo / no conditioner" thing comes from
2) The brands you've been using so far are called semi-permanent color, or direct dye color. This means there is nothing you need to add to the color (like hydrogen peroxide developer) in order to make it work. This kind of hair color is very flexible. In general, you can mix and match, customize your own color, dilute with conditioner, etc.
3) as you yourself realized, you need to section your hair. even just four sections (splitting your hair down the middle and then from ear to ear, creating an "X" or "+" shaped part on your head) is good enough for this kind of process. You also need to apply more color than you think you need to, because pre-lightened hair like yours loves to soak up color like it's nothing, which leads to dry patches
4) I have not personally used Arctic Fox brand hair color, but it's probably your best bet in the future, if it's available in Australia. If not, there are tons of brands of semi-permanent or direct dye hair color, and some quick google searches will give you what you need
5) I would stay away from the expensive, boutique-looking brands. They tend to be overpriced and underperform. For context, I can go to my local professional beauty supply and pick up 3 tubes of salon quality color for the price of what you payed for one tube of Dare
6) the ends of your hair didn't take the color very well because of something called Porosity. Porosity is a measure of the hair's ability to absorb and retain any kind of water, moisture, or hair product. In this case, because your hair is bleached, and the ends of hair are always older, drier, more damaged, and more porous, it couldn't hold onto the hair color. The hair at your roots is fairly young, much more healthy, and has a lower porosity, so it took the color better
Overall, I think you did a pretty good job given the supplies you had. In the future, I would recommend doing at least 4 sections, using a ton of color, diluting with conditioner, and maybe even distributing the product with a hair brush. If you have any more questions I'd love to answer!
Just jumping in here. In Aus we can get Artic Fox online at Beserk :)
Thanks for the helpful info!!!
Luke E what you say about porosity is interesting. Is that what can cause frizziness? Nothing I try seems to work. I've never died my hair. I've tried drugstore brands like Garnier and Suave to salon anti-frizz oils and lotions. I follow the directions and even reapply within the hour. I live in a humid area 24/7/365 and once I'm out the door, it's like I didn't even condition, let alone apply two--three coats of anti-frizz/hair moisturizer/lotion-then oil to my hair. I tie my hair up and carry a comb to put my hair into some semblance of decent at work. I'll take any advice. Please and thank you.
thank you for the advice!! i'll be bleaching my hair again soon (i've gone back to my natural hair, so it shouldn't go too bad) to go pink ♡
@@sekaihatsu I lived in Florida for a spell and have the same frizzy hair issue. That is more on your hair's curl pattern than damage, specifically. Usually damage will result in a more "bedhead" type look but it doesn't usually contribute directly to frizz, barring breakage frizz and a natural curl pattern. What I use for products that helped me tame my frizz was the following:
-Biolage Shampoo and Conditioner: Hydrating formula w/o silicon or paraffin. Wash once every 3-4 days, only when your hair is in need. The first week or two it may take time to adjust to this schedule if you don't do this already. Use dry shampoo to help in the interim.
-After shower, I put on Redkin Antisnap leave in conditioner from root to tip, more generously on tip and very sparingly at the root
-Then apply Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny serum. This miracle stuff will sincerely help tame your frizz while letting you keep either your natural curl pattern or pin straight hair. Apply from tip to almost to root, avoiding the root. If you go up to the root, it can make your hair look unwashed very quickly.
Use a flat paddle brush when brushing your hair and a wide tooth comb when it is wet or deeply tangled. This also helps prevent breakage to help alleviate frizz from that breakage. Try to avoid heat products, but if you do use them, use a heat protectant like Moroccan Oil Perfect Defense.
Hope this helps!
Purple hair looks great on Alex. I am delighted she is posting again. I missed her SO MUCH! (I am old and yes I missed her.)
I really enjoyed the impromptu food show segment. I will try this salad and enjoy it. Thank you.
that employee scammed you. you can just mix the dark purple with any white conditioner you already have at home
I ASKED HER IF I COULD MIX IT WITH CONDITIONER AND SHE SAID NOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT IT'S BAD FOR YOUR HAIR AND THE COLOUR WON'T HOLD >:( *shakes fist at lady*
@@PrettyPastelPlease I want to find that lady and scream at her, saying "It's GOOD for the hair, actually! Grrr! Stop ripping people off!" I'm so sorry you got ripped off.
Its actually reccomended to do that.
@@PrettyPastelPlease Bro she really made u pay a lot more for something worse... I've been dyeing my hair crazy colors for like 7 years, and I always use conditioners. My dye stays in for months if I do it correctly.
@@PrettyPastelPlease the colour won't hold though. I sometimes do it, and my white looking conditioner is often not really as white as I expect but it does make it so I can use less dye for the same amount of hair. but it will wash out faster in my experience.
Alex: Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong *proceeds to dump dye on forehead*
Me: *has heart attack*
SAAAMEEE
You just know you’re going to end up on a Brad Mondo “reacts” video!
I hope so. That would be such a great crossover. I loved the results.
I was just thinking about how much I want that
Cannot believe how satisfying it is to watch someone show that lunch that is ALSO Australian. Rep the balsamic glaze and lilydale chicken 😅
Feels so familiar. Love it
And Meredith dairy....its in Victoria
I’m a qualified hairdresser in the uk and would recommend next time you dye your hair to use manic manic or directions it’s a lot cheaper than what you used I would also recommend getting a darker than you want like the dark colour you used today and get some cheap white conditioner and mix it in with the colour and mix more than you think you will need also section your hair into four sections on your head and start from the bottom work your way up and really rub it into your hair so it saturates every strand and really rub it into your scalp the first time was the brands fault not sams don’t worry
Also if you want to be more adventurous in the future you can mix a darker colour with conditioner apply that to your ends then add the darker colour too your roots and rub the two colour together between your finger and your thumb to create and ombré but only do this if your really daring
I love directions 😊
Rub it into your scalp?? But It stains your skin 😬
Katy Cherry that’s temporary though. I dye mine at home - have been for 3 years. I always run my scalp. It washes completely clear on the second wash most of the time.
I think you meant to say manic panic in your post? Thats what I would recommend anyway
Manic panic isn't cheaper then dare in Australia
Literally screaming “add conditioner!!!!” To that dark purple to dilute it
Amen. Alex, you have the Tresemme brand in your shower, and the fact that it's white makes it perfect for diluting dye, since it doesn't distort the color- what you see mixed in the bowl is the final result. I mean, I once used green conditioner to dilute, and it worked fine, but only because I already knew the perfect ratio of dye to conditioner.
Everyone: section your hair!
Me an ex chef: IS SHE CHOPPING RAW CHICKEN ON A WOOD CHOPPING BOARD?!
Ha same
Emma Fenton lmao 🤣 yessss! The freaking germs and ecoli are going to soak into the wood!! I have a glass one for raw meat!
Better than plastic at least
“It cant get any more patchy” MY HAIRDRESSER IS CRYING BC UR LYING
Was I the only one cracking up when she looked at the camera at the end of her cooking segment and said, "and I eat it directly from the salad bowl cause I'm a lazy piece of shit."? lol 😆. same though same.
I agree with others saying arctic fox is the best! Also, overtone color depositing conditioner is great for the upkeep so when you wash it, it fades even less. If you use arctic fox for the initial dye job and overtone for the upkeep, it will basically never fade 😆
Edit: also I should mention you can totally use overtone by itself to dye! I just like using both because they smell really good 😃 lol
Directions is my favourite
Arctic fox wouldn't work on my hair, just on my nails and the shower tiles. Although the blue undertone still makes my hair look grey after 5 or 6 months. But the purple hardly lasted 2 washes.
One of arctic fox's ceos partakes in animal abuse. I reccomend lunar tides dye
poipul oh really? Which one? D:
bibiboe the purple worked really well for me so that sucks to hear!
'Brad Mondo is quaking'
I seriously spit out the tiny bit of my drink I just sipped.. 😂
most important things when coloring hair... seperate into small sections, spray with water to even porosity, don't bunch hair, shower with cool water for lasting color
I’ve tried the wet first dye method and it hasn’t worked for me. Colors don’t come out as vibrant and wash out quicker. The best method for me is shampoo before with a sulfate shampoo to really open the cuticle, let dry, add color, and lastly rinse with ice cold water (I usually do multiple colors), add a little leave in conditioner, and let dry. Wash once a week.
I've heard hairdresser say to never apply dye to wet hair, because the water will swell the hair and impede hair dye from penetrating. It will also dilute it.
I love how brightly colored archie is. He looks like he could glow in the dark
In terms of application: while the splodge it on your head method is a beloved home-dying technique i'd say the best way to make sure it doesn't get patchy or you miss spots is to section your hair out and start from the bottom to the top, do strands at a time and work your way around your head ( Maybe husbean could help with the back?) this is probably the 469698467th comment to say so but I hope this helps regardless!
Husbean is such a cute wholesome way to say husband.
Alex: *spends $2000 on asos haul*
Also Alex: *doesn't want to spend more than $100 on hair colouring* 😂
emmar556 she also returns most of it!
@@amber_Forever16 I am aware :) I wasn't trying to be nasty.
hahaha omg this is so me..
Alex: “You think I would learn from my mistakes”
Literally us humans all the time
Shower peekaboo with Archie is obviously my favorite part 😂😌
That haircolor is so ridiculously overpriced, you can get much more for your buck if you just use a darker purple and mix it with a lot of conditioner. Also „pastellizers“ are basically glorified conditioner as far as I know. Hope that cleared things up a bit, dying your hair at home usually doesn’t cost a fortune 😅
I was literally just coming to say exactly the same thing. Next time just use the dark purple and mix it with a white conditioner. Also I dunno if you get is in Aus but you should try Bleach London.
I was just about to comment the exact same thing lmaoo would of saved her a tonnn of money if she just bought a tube of dark purple and some cheap white conditioner to make it pastel. Yeah I agree that brand was over priced as well, never heard of it. There are many good cheaper brands like arctic fox, manic panic, color ions etc.
Adore purple hair dye mixed into conditioner is cheap and perfect
I'm a hairdresser and worked at hair house warehouse where she got that dye from and 🤮 they're so overpriced and really quite rubbish and the hairhouse corporation is terrible. Krazy colour is my favourite it's like $10-$15 and one tube would probably almost colour the amount of hair Alex has. But when I was a baby hairdresser I used that shitty schwarzkopf crap so you know, learning
Your all forgetting about Australia tax! Beauty products are always more expensive here! $22 for 150 mils here, haircare warehouse is the only shop that sells in it Aus. Arctic fox $18.95 (118mils) only from an online store so have to also pay shipping . I did find adore for $11.95 (118mils) but also online also.
Thank you so much for more shower time with Archie!! Also, purple hair looks amazing on you! I liked the pink, but I always felt like it washed you out a bit. You are rocking the purple though, Alex!!
I enjoyed shower time with Archie the best
Alex: *plays peekaboo with archie*
Me: *instantly likes video*
So hunny.. aw well first step get a brush, one with a wider brush. Go to a beauty store, in america we have Sally's beauty! And section the hair off & brush it & at each section massage in the ends & roots. I used to dye my hair fun colors & I'd do it like that & it really never took very long. Also SLEEP IN THE COLOR! It needs to stay on longer than 30mins. Its basically conditioner & it shouldn't ruin your hair. I would ceran wrap my head & sleep on a towel & shower in the morning.
Try arctic fox 🥰🥰🥰🎀
Sleeping in the color does nothing actually. Hair can only absorb so much product at once and after a certain period of time, the wet dye simply just oxidizes/loses the ability to penetrate the cuticle. Happens sometimes around the 60 minute mark.

@@dogsrsoawesome Really well thats good to know, I always slept in mine haha
@@justyeeeeeetit I hear it all the time 😂 i just want to save people the time
@@dogsrsoawesome Nice Ladies. Great Advice

I used to leave arctic fox in my hair for 4 hours and it’d get dry and hard to wash out lol. I only leave it in for an hour. Maybe a little longer depending if I’m doing something! Never letting it get all dry again lol
Honestly a Brad Mondo Collab with this whole situation would be epic 🤣
Alex: “let me know what I am doing wrong” *proceeds to dump dye on forehead*
Me: *cries in Brad Mondo*
When I lived in a small apt. I found a baby sparrow and I raised it flying free in the bedroom n bathroom.... he used to perch and watch me take showers just like this cutie birdie. I also like purple hair so thumbs up!! Ir bird is adorable.❤
My biggest regret when dying my hair, was trying to bleach it myself. I used Lighting by Manic Panic, and i came out patchy and orange. Went to my salon a week later and got it done professionally, and haven't looked back. I'd also blame the brand vs blaming Sam. Everyone swears by Swof-*can't spell the name* because it started in salons and went 'drug store', from personal experience from shampoos to dyes, they actually suck. I've honestly washed my hair, when i've been greasy... I was twice as greasy after drying. And clearly their dyes are crap with that inconsistency between dyes.
Pretty pastel please:
Spends $4,000 on clothes
No comment
Also pretty pastel please:
Spend $20 on hair dye
I will never financially recover from this!!
Lmao I was thinking the exact same thing 😂
It was sponsored
My Marvellous Menagerie yea but either they’re sponsored and she gets the stuff for free or before she had a lot of subs she would try them on in the video and return most of them for a refund!
The no effs given in this video, from you knowing it's gonna be patchy to the stuffing your face and drinking straight from the bottle, is an entire mood and the only energy I want for the rest of 2020. K thanks, bye 👌🏻👏🏻
Not that anybody asked for my opinion....proceeds to give opinion...but I really liked the format of this video. I think it's great to see how Alex has progressed, she's really letting her personality shine now💜
she is the loveliest of people
Agreed
the fakest of fake
Yes.
@@SmokeyDaRoach oh, why do you think that?
@@redgaria1428 Probably because she's wearing black in the video. dun dun DUN.
I never realized how pretty Alex’s eyes are 😍
Just watched and thought the exact same thing ... crazy huh? .... First thought was that I thought she had blue eyes!!!
It's because the purple tones brings up the green eyes and I think she has green and blue eyes mix.
If you invert purple you get green! Purple and green are complimentary colours - so now you and Archie match!!! Looking gorgeous the both of you!
Purple and yellow are complimentary
Using the darker hair dye on top when you ran out gave you a really beautiful ombré effect!
No one gonna talk about the cute conversation between her and her baby??? “Peekaboo” “peekaboo” “WEWEWEWE”
for future reference, u don’t need a pastelizer, u can’t just dilute any color with conditioner and it works the same way!
Yay! Excited! I've had diluted deep purple to virgin pink ombre from Arctic fox on for nearly 2 months... and its still not faded lol. I wanted to do silver to pink ombre eventually but this pink refuses to leave 😂 "Quarentine Hair Chronicles".
Fully love her more since the nose job videos. This one especially. I love a real CZcamsr, and her personality shines through sooo much ❤️
You know, I watched the entirety of your nose adventures, and I have to say, despite the issues you are still facing, I forgot you had a nose job until I was some time into this video.
All I mean to say is, while I'm sure you are your toughest critic (and I really wish you could breath properly) you look adorable and normal on video, if that means anything.
I'm enjoying your hair adventures. They are a great distraction during this time.
Whatever comes in the future, just know you have a supportive group in your comment section and we're all wishing the best for you, Dan, Sam, Archie, and all your friends and family 💜
I SCREAMED EVERYTHING JUST AS ARCHIE DID
Purple haired person here! I've been dying my hair purple for almost a year and here's some of my thoughts:
I think this purple looks lovely on you! Please know that pastel hair shades are very hard to achieve as well as maintain. They wash out quickly because they are so light. The lighter the base, the better the colour will show up.
I have medium blonde hair myself and have been trying out a ton of brands. Had a lot of trial and error and learned A LOT from it. If anything, the brand I love and recommend most is ARCTIC FOX. It's seriously amazing!! No other dye has worked as well for me. They have tons of colours to choose from and you can mix them to get your desired shade also. I personally use Purple Rain mixed with Violet Dream and do not add any conditioner since I want my purple to be as vibrant as possible. A good thing about Arctic Fox is that it's a non-toxic and non damaging product, meaning you can leave it on for as long as you want without damaging your hair! (It's cruelty free and vegan too). I usually leave it on for as long as possible, around 3-5 hours, but around 1 hour should be more than enough. It leaves my hair super pigmented, really soft, shiny and healthy! It basically feels like doing a hair mask but with adding colour.
The big downside about having coloured hair for me is that in order to maintain it for as long as possible, it's recommended to wash it with water AS COLD AS YOU CAN STAND IT. Since I'm cold all the time, I really hate this part :') but it definitely helps! Something about your hair "scales" not opening up in cold water. In hot/warm water they do, allowing any colour to wash out much faster. Also washing your hair as little as possible helps to enjoy your colour longer! Personally I'm trying to stretch it to washing once a week now.
Another thing: I never bleached my hair and still Arctic Fox gets my hair extremely pigmented. I'm really iffy about not wanting to damage my hair so I'd rather not bleach it, but with this dye, it's not even necessary! I bet it would stick to your hair even better, since yours is much much lighter than mine.
Just some things that I learned during my purple hair journey. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!
Also can't forget how it smells like grape! Artic fox is so nice ;0;
@@orionstardust2060 Ooh I forgot! That's definitely another good thing about it, it smells so nice! No weird chemical smells or anything ^^
You did an awesome job. Like how the darkest part was on top and flowed into the lightest part at the ends. Very shiny. Job well done .👍
🍃🌸 I do like your personality so much, your sense of humour and kidding around with Archie, your unique beauty, face and smile, and your kindness in treating others and animals! I send you a big hug from Germany 🌸🍃
When I used to have lavender hair, I would add conditioner to help "Pastelize" the dark purple! - Just a tip if you end up doing it again!
😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing at your peek-a-boo game cause my Jack-a-doodle was trying to join in!!
Never had a hairfail yet. Diing my hair for over 20 years.....had all the colors of the rainbow! My hair is hot pink now. Love experimenting with it!! 😁😁😁❤🧡💛💚💙💜
PASTEL COOKING WITH ALEX IS BACK!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Archie, on/in the shower, does some of the cutest dang stuff I've ever seen! 💚
You and Archie playing peekaboo was amazing and cute
Thank you for keeping it real for all of us that does a few mistakes - trial and error never learn otherwise 😂😂😉😁👍
Yay, it looks great! Slightly deeper pastels, for the win!!
"I'm having fun"
*Laughs nervously*
Oh thank goodness, I love the color and it looks to pretty on you but it hurt to look at the patchyness 😂
Edit after I watched her just plop a handful on top of her head:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I could honestly watch her play peek a boo with Archie for like an hour SO CUTE
Honestly, your technique is fine. I would just section it into smallish sections next time and slab color on like that.
Archie looked absolutely in love with the new color! Was just the cutest thing!! 😍
*moving my goldfish to another room* Don't worry Edgar its for your lungs
You could always start collecting pastel wigs and use them on days you feel like having that extra pastel wonder in your life
I love how funny and honest you are 😂 I was having a chuckle when you kept zooming in with food all on your face then the caption popped up “and wash my face apparently” lol
Also I miss your gorgeous red hair too, but the purple suits you!
I couldn’t stop looking at the food on your face and thinking...”oh you FANCY fancy!!!”. 😂😂
Everyone: WASH YOUR LETTUCE EVEN IF IT SAYS WASHED!!!!!!
Dont eat lettuce.
Thats what I was going to say. Saw a thing on TV once sayin that gourmet lettuce in a bag is sprayed with chemicals to preserve it so it lasts longer. Its imperative that its washed.
I have been dying my hair for about 5 years now and my best advices are:
Section your hair the same way you section it to iron or curl your hair, then you can apply it with your hands just the way you did
You can "pastelize" a hair dye with conditioner, people will tell you that it won't last but it's not like pastel dye lasts for more than 5 washes so, don't trust them
Check the color wheel when you decide to change the color, for example, if you dye your hair pink and then when it's faded you put green on top you'll have gray hair in the end
It can get expensive to dye your hair pastel colors, but it's really really fun, I decided that I'm with every single cent and I love myself more when my hair is a fun color
If you decide not to continue dying your hair, you'll have to just accept the fact that the roots are visible and that the rest of your hair is bleach blond, I do not recommend to dye it with your natural hair color, trust me it's still visible, there is no box dye that matches perfectly your hair and if after a couple of years you decide to try a new color again you won't be able to remove the box dye
This is why I won’t use box dye any more. Needed to go burgundy quick for a job interview and it came out good for one day! After that it was awful. I now have a box or 2 in my closet somewhere.
For years I had colorful hair. The best way, I have found, is not only glopping it on your hair but use a wide-tooth comb or brush made for wet hair, and ensure the color is evenly coating your hair. I also like using the darker colors towards my roots and blending it into the lighter towards the ends. It helps to cover-up some of those problem areas. And, of course, bleaching prior to color also helps too.
I think it looks great, however!
As someone who has been every colour ever, i would always reccomend going darker and more vibrant than you initially want. Usually the change feels more drastic and makes you love it more, and then it takes longer to fade to a pretty pastel, which saves money and keeps you happier with your hair for longer🥰 my personal fav dye is Luna Tides or Bleach London🥰
You are just a sweetheart ❤
You rocked it .
Peek-a-boo with Archie was fun.
Start dying the hair at the bottom of your head and go up
It’s much easier and will be less patchy
In grade 2 I wanted pink streaks in my hair, because it was 2011. my mom wasn’t home so I asked my Nana to do it.
She ended up dying all my hair pink.
The purple is a good color on you! I really really like it. It compliments your skin tone very well.
The worst thing that happened to me was i fried my hair by over lapping my bleach and my hair started falling out like a husky in summer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Also make sure you tone your hair next time before doing a different color and you might have to do touch ups on bleach in a few places because that might be why the color isnt taking. GOOOOODDDD i want to fly to Australia find you and just do your hair for you for free 😂😂😂😂 i love you so much and that would be a dream!! Also ALWAYS use cold water anything other will strip the color even luke warm. Luke warm is best after a couple days and you go to wash for the first time. I will say this your application of 2 different colors worked out perfectly 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 usually it does with a lighter color underneath as a base and darker on top to even it out but honestly it looks soooooooo good
Lmao "IT SMELLS LIKE SUGAR"
when I dyed my hair black the dye smelled so good omg I wanted to eat it
Tell me it was artic fox
bruh the dye i used that was purple to dye my hair smelled like dead fish it was so gross
@@citrumelo3433 lmao what dead fish 😭😭🤚🏾
I just used arctic fox purple and it smelled like grapes. It's been almost two weeks and my hair still smells like it when I wash it.
@@Zalerinae0491 Arctic Fox's Transylvania Black smells like grapes too! We have a little bit left over in our linen closet and now every time we open it, it smells faintly of grapes.
Purple and green look great together 😋
Brah you need a whiter base for a light lavender colour. The yellow left in your hair is what made it patchy.
It did look a lot nicer than before.
I've used Dare a couple of times, it was really great personally and it doesn't bleed like the other brands such as manic panic.
I always use normal white conditioner for my mixes though.
I actually really love watching you make lunch, it makes you feel so personable and I think that's because we idolize you tubers and assume you're famous and whatnot but it was very cool to see behind the scenes ❤
Alex playing peekaboo with Archie made my week ❤🥰😭
That purple goes so well with your eyes.
We're having FUN lmfao
The peekaboo segment was so cute LMAO.. that’s me as heck
Worst hair dye mistake I’ve made: A while ago, I wanted to dye the under part of my hair purple for the summer of 6th grade with my best friend. We used a cheap drugstore dye. We did hers first, then washed it out. Then we applied mine. Afterwards, we were too tired to wash it out, so I had to sleep with it in... the next day we washed it out. The color actually came out great! Better than expected. But, the dye stayed in my hair for over 3 years and slowly faded out... 😅
Cheap hair dye is the worst, I'm still growing out the "semi permanent" pink dye I used on my brown hair last September 😬
@@definitelynotalizard did you use splat
How is this a fail?
@@animefreak7614 I like splat. Tried using dyed other people liked but it those fade really quickly.
@@alej1778 splat stays forever
It was so nice to know another person who does the same thing with Woolworths soda water 💦 and also I loved the dare dye brand used a pink colour with long brunette hair only needed to use one bottle 😁🤩
You're not hearing my screams through the computer you're hearing my laughter. This is great I love it 😂 I've been doing my hair for years it's not easy especially when it's super long and you're new at hair
When ever you're gonna dye your hair, you should start sectioning your hair and starting from bottom and lastly going towards the top part of your hair. That way you will avoid the color to be patchy. There were a few patches that on the back of the hair but overall it looks really pretty on you! ❤
I love living my hair fantasies out, vicariously, through watching Alex dye her hair
I like how you have the top part of the hair darker than the ends because it does create some dimensions. Next time just blend the colors more. I learned from my hairstylist to wash my hair with cool water instead of hot because it will open the pores in the hair more and it will wash the dyes out more easily. If you are still interested to try other brands, I've been using Overtone to maintain my hair color. Get the color conditioner, that one leaves more color pigments. Plus they have a line for pastel colors and you can mix colors to get the color you want. It's not cheap, but it does help keep the hair from drying out more like most box dye. Love to see more hair color dyes in the future! Keep up to good work!
OMG! Somebody else that drinks soda water straight from the bottle! ❤️

Was Archie.... Purring???? 😅💜
I have the same question 😂 it was the cutest thing ever though 💚💚
Yes he was. I have a blue quaker parrot and he purrs also. It is the sweetest thing!
I was going to ask what the noise was, I wasn't sure if it was a by-product of the left nostril situation
The "Peekaboo" segment is definitely my favorite :D
Glad Dare worked out for you. I used to use it back in high school to dye parts of my hair red. It worked really well the first few times and then just stopped taking to my hair. Which was upsetting for multiple reasons, the price of it being one of them. So I was concerned the same may happen to you but luckily it didn't. I had a bit of success box dying my hair a few years back but now I exclusively get it done at the hair dresser. I would rather pay the premium for it because I know it will come out beautiful and I know it will last me. Even when it fades it looks soooo much better than the box dye. However due to covid I haven't been able to get to my hair dresser so the temptation to box dye is returning
For your next dye session, get a really pigmented purple and dilute a tiny bit of it with a crap ton of white conditioner. I’d recommend punky color, just because it sticks around really well.
I would really recommend trying Arctic Fox. They have a lovely dark purple but you can lighten it 🙌🏻
I'm always amazed at the color that comes out of Arctic fox
im sure she wouldnt wanna support animal abuse being an animal lover herself
@@b0mbinramen758 I'm confused arctic fox is vegan and cruelty free
Chloe have you not heard what the owner herself has done to her own pets?
@@b0mbinramen758 I haven't....
Dyes and bleach don't lather, so rubbing in does nothing. Hence why you have to section it. Though if want an easier application to be able to slather it more and to dilute it to be more pastel, add conditioner to the colour.
If you ever try again and you see this comment, hope it helps.
Pulp riot!! Great dye!! Use it!! And always buy and apply more dye than you’ll need
Now that I see your Videos pop up more often again I’m realising just how much I’ve missed watching them.
This video made me smile! I love how human you are! Vs some of the Glam CZcamsrs.
Girrrl... you dont need to watch in a mirror the whole time. You need to section your hair (it's so important.... s e c t i o n y o u h a i r ... pleeez. This is how you avoid the patchy areas. you need to apply it evenly using a brush to really work it into each section... to work it in down the hair toward ends you can also use your gloved fingers. just go by feel and check it in the mirror to be sure you coated it well. Please watch Guy Tang and/or Brad Mondo. And you didnt need to buy that weird expensive dye. I feel like you were swindled by cute packaging. I dont think I have ever spent 20 bucks on a bottle of dye. Get Arctic Fox or Manic Panic dye. And you can use hair conditioner to thin out the color to pastel... mix your dye with something like Treseme conditioner or probably any other kind... that's just what i use.
Arctic Fox, Manic Panic, and Overtone aren't really common brands here and can be hard to get. I don't know of many (if any) that have them in store to buy, and they are WAY more expensive than the brand she got in this video. The brand she got is like $22-24 AUD whereas the brands you're talking about are all $27.95-35AUD per bottle/tub/tube.
Just a friendly FYI :) Australian brands are different!
Sectioning is a must! But a dye brush.... No, not with temporary color you are putting all over your head, even brad applys them with his hands and tells others it's just easier

He usually uses a brush. It wastes less product, and is more precise. He also says to work from the bottom of the hair to the top. I watch all of his videos while I dye my hair or aka aislinn.
@@evilxxfairy I watch them all too, and he recommends to people at home to just use their hands if they aren't comfortable with brush, also if you are just doing one color....
The brite organics brand purple is amazing, one tiny half teaspoon in a bowl of conditioner is enough to make your whole head pastel purple and lasts for a while. They sell it at priceline and woolies i think.
All the way throught the shower sequence, I just kept thinking "you are wasting water!! Hurry up!" - but besides the water waste, cute video
I´m really enjoying these different kind of videos of yours, they bring up your sense of humour more!
