the most pointless attempt at changing my appearance (for no reason at all)

- Recovering from surgery this week, but I found this attempt at an afternoon makeover on my hard drive and wanted to share it with you because it made me giggle. đ
Just keep hitting singles.
Love you! â„

âI barely want anyone to know I did thisâ, posts whole video about it. Absolutely love that energy
Internet strangers đ, irl people đ«
Listen, my brain isnât gonna heal from that toxic thinking all on its own. WE GOTTA CHALLENGE IT. đ
@@elyse_myersi respect this so much. itâs very amazing to see and also very encouraging to do more by hearing someone say it out loud.
I know, "I never leave my house anyway"...posting with 3 million+ followers đ
@@susandusenbury6352 I mean at that point youâre traveling the world, kinda.
My arm is in a sling in the inserted clip because I had a tumor removed from my shoulder a few days ago. My nose and lip are also BRIGHT red because my son lovingly shared the worst cold Iâve ever had with the whole family so the skin beneath my nose is STRUGGLING. đ
Hope you are well, dear. Much love, you always make me smile and brighten up my day with your videos! â€
Hope you heal up well, both from the surgery and from the cold đ Congratz on trying a new thing!
You need to pin this comment ; I couldnât figure out what the heck was going on and how you managed to do your hair đłđ
And you want a DEMI permanent hair dye (try Sallyâs). You really donât need it yet thoughđ
I hope your shoulder gets better
I was applying straight up chapstick around my nose, while I had a cold, last month, and it honestly really helped. If the feeling of chapstick on your nose bothers you, try a lotion with aloe and vitamin E âșïž
Hair nerd here! Demi permanent glosses, toners, and glazes don't fully cover grays, but they may darken them a bit and make them less noticeable đ€. On the plus side, it did give your hair some nice shine!!
Also, I 100% feel you on trying vs not trying. It's a defense mechanism and gives you the illusion of a little bit of certainty, which our OCD brains LOVE.
Do demi permanent glosses stain your skin, tub, towels, pillow cases? The stuff I've tried does but I really want to do colors I can only get in demi permanent glosses and such.

I love you both and would love to see you collab.
â@GaryRoseCO yes. It's a non permanent dye. Any non permanent dye will rub off on things a little bit.
The âlol Eww you care?!âđ€Ł
đđđ
Grey hairs are notoriously hard to dye, so anything other than permanent dye will probably do nothing for them. A lot of brands sell dyes that are specifically formulated to cover greys for this reason.
As you get older, the production of melanin slows down and eventually stops, leading to grey or white hair. This is a natural part of the aging process. So age is a contributing factor but it's not the sole reason for it. Other factors such as your genetics, stress, smoking, eating a poor diet can play a role as well.
@@kristinsaysgah4257 Feels like it's defo stress in this case đ(but yeah, still pretty normal for a 30yo, especially a mom!)
I stopped dying my hair because my grays are so WHITE they donât take color. It will last for a couple of days the the white hair is back.
Even with professional color, my grays still end up looking like highlights. My friend calls them sparklers! âš
I fully feel you on the being scared of trying. I was savagely bullied as a child for being overweight. Mix that with having a very unstable home life, and all I wanted was to be invisible. I was scared to try or even look nice because i always thought people would think like, "Who do you think you are?" "Why are you even trying?" Just all the negative self-talk. Im 34 now, and I love dressing up and putting on makeup. That's only happened in the last 3ish years, but I slowly started trying to find my style and what I wanted to look like. You aren't alone in those feelings ma'am †Sending so much love âšïž
I'm so sorry you endured this mistreatment. I also was a overweight kid, also teen/adult but I had great parents, my Mom always told me to not start fights but to end them. I had of course a few people call me names or pick on me but it was very few in comparison to my husband and other friends. As I got older, I always did my hair, makeup and clothes, I think in part to make up for being overweight. I kind of regret not being able to let go more but I'm also of a generation that would feel embarrassment if someone saw your underwear or in PJs at the airport.
You EXACTLY described the reason I don't put effort into my appearance either. Thank you so much for sharing! Your raw vulnerability is a breath of fresh air and I always get so excited when you release a video :) Wishing you a smooth recovery!
This is also the exact reason I didnât study for tests until the last momentđ if I got a poor grade then it was because I didnât study enough not because I wasnât smartđ đ
Precisely this đ Elyse goes the extra mile of talking us through her anxious thoughts/extending us the same grace in addition to being sunny and goofy :) It makes a lot of us feel seen, and I appreciate it! đ»đâšïž
you really shouldn't put energy into appearance. men don't. but woman have to be beautiful all the time, is our objective in life according to society. but in reality you don't own anyone your appearance. your bare face is fine.
I went gray really young. I was covering grays in my 20s. At 34 I was mostly gray and decided enough. I hated going to salons once a month for hours to dye my hair. And I hated doing it myself. I made the decision to grow out the gray hair. I absolutely love it!! I literally get complimented on it all the time. Best decision ever.
â€â€â€
Iâm about to turn 33 and have fully embraced my grays, however Iâm thinning like crazy. Never thought Iâd have to worry about losing my hair in my 30s đ
@@Elliecharlie Just wanted to say I'm in the same boat! 39 and have been dealing with thinning hair that started around 34. Tried various things through a dermatologist, and she said she's seeing more and more younger women with hair loss. Would LOVE if it was all just turning gray instead of falling out đ
Same here! At 39 Iâm completely grey and do NOT miss dying my hair
Iâll be in this boat soon. I recently developed a hair dye allergy so no more hair dying for me. The grey takeover has begun.
This is going to sound really weird, but the fact that you exist gives me so much peace. I canât explain it. Iâm not really sure how it works, but you give me peace.
Thank you, Elyse. That rhymed.
I love you.
I feel that exact same way đ„°
Same.
Came here to say⊠same.
I feel the same way too.
"I'm not stressed, are you stressed?" I felt that, it's my everyday đ
Sending you all the love. From one heart hero momma to another. Our kids are strong. We too had OHS at the same hospital this year. Sending you all the love and support.
A wins a win! Idk what it is about gray hairs but I was super excited when I found my first. Theyâre like tinsel in my hair. ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ.
We EARN them! đ
I'm calling mine tinsel from now on.
I have had a few grey hairs here and there since my mid 20âs, (along my hairline as well). I didnât notice them much even though my hair is dark, I think mostly because they were hidden by the way I style my hair. Then about two years ago (Iâm 40âs now) I was getting ready one day, looking in the mirror, and I was like âWow! My hair is so super shiny today!â So I looked closer and it WAS so shiny. Because my new bathroom lamp apparently really made all the greys I had acquired without noticing REALLY shine!đ My mom has been coloring her hair my whole life, and it definitely looks like too much work so, for now at least, Iâm embracing the glitter. My friend said itâs like free highlights! I have a lot more trouble with having any sort of confidence when it comes to wardrobe though. I went to an event today. I even had bought a new dress for it. But I just hated how I looked and ended up with the fallback âjeans and a nice topâ, because I didnât want to try and fail. Easier to just blend in I guess.
Iâm 30 and VERY grey! We have similar hair texture and colors. Itâs honestly been so fun growing my greys in
âIf I try and people donât like it, I failed. No try = no fail!â You just explained my lifelong mentality to me in about 5 seconds đź
Yes. As I perfectionist, I feel this.
If you get dye on your skin, you can usually get it off with some rubbing alcohol. Also, I always said I would rock my grey hair. I'm now 42 and confirm that was a lie. đ
Lolđ
I said the same thing, but when I started getting white hair in my early 30s I went back on that. I'm not ready yet!
This has happened to me. Put effort in and then nothing. Hahaha. I feel like trying ro help your brain is always a win.
My first hair dying with semi-permanent shampoo ended up the same. I wanted to go blond. My hair is naturally brown :D bleach? I don't know that guy...
It did nothing at first glance. On second glance my hair smelled nicely for two weeks. On third glance, I have stained multiple pillowcases and towels with the residual colour in my hair. It took weeks to wash off. My mom got angry.
I love your videos. The anxiety stream of consciousness that so perfectly matches my non-stop internal anxiety monologue makes me feel less alone. Thank you so much for all you do!!!
So as someone who likes to change her hair color, at home, drastically, then just let it grow out because Iâm either over it or get lazy. People care wayyyyy less than you think. I used to be worried about it but I started getting sick in my 20âs and Iâm now disabled, have been legally for 11 years, and my looks have to take a backseat to my health. Now when I decide I want to do something itâs 100% for me and my own gratification that I get from it. When I feel well, I might style my hair and wear makeup. When Iâm not feeling great, the world should be happy I put on clean clothes to leave the house.
I started thinking about it like this- when you go out do you obsess over how every single person looks? 99.9% donât. We are so focus on ourselves, our world and what weâre doing. It makes anxiety a little easier and it also gives you the freedom from feeling pressured. I dress for me and me alone. Make you happy, it doesnât matter it other people donât like it. Fill your cup. Let them worry about theirs and why the negativity is consistently draining them.
I have a gray streak coming in and I embrace my witch hairs, I earned them through my suffering đ
I love this comment. I'm going to think of this from now on when I get anxious about my emerging grey streak.
Grey hairs are just wisdom glitter
Omg i have missed you on tt and then i found you on here!!!! Im genuinely so happy now
You are awesome! You always make me smile!!! †Your hair is beautiful just as it is!!!â€
I flip between hating my appearance and loving it and i responated with the "if I put no effort into how i look nobody can critique it because that's just how i look". Im sorry that you feel that way because the feeling sucks but it's also comforting (?) to see that im not alone in that feeling, so thank you. â€
I resonant so much with your editing interlude about self-confidence and why you don't try. I do that too. I knew it was self-confident related but never really knew why, but everything you said makes perfect sense.
Age has nothing to do with when your hair turns gray. My oldest brother was gray at 14. No even in high school yet and was going gray. I didn't have gray hair until my late forties. Your hair looks amazing!
Hiii I love your videos
I have that chapstick! I literally bought it back when you first got it!
Also there's Henna! I'll come back when I'm done watching!
Ok, I'm back.. no shame in your game, girl. by game i definitely mean you do whatever you wanna to look however youre most comfy! i will say that a good henna shampoo can be fun if you can handle the henna smell.
I used to love using henna! It brought out the subtle red highlights I had. Then...it turned my hair a yucky greenish brown!!! What the heck?? Same product I has always used, no new meds, nothing I could put my finger on :( This was nearly 30 years ago. I haven't used it since. Maybe I'll give it another try...
Definitely would want to do a henna allergy test before putting it on your entire headâŠ.
@kirbyourenthusiasm!! Good call!
@amyhendricks3627 that's so weird! What did you do with your green hair?
â@@meg.pleaseI washed it. A lot.đ Used one of those clarifying shampoos and a good conditioner; also a lot. đ It took about three weeks to get back to "normal".
Seriously considering henna again but definitely a patch test first! đđ» I stopped coloring my gray a couple of years ago. I'll have to look into henna and gray hair đ€·đ»ââïž
I was going through older blogs. OMFG is Ben Rector amazing! I downloaded all his music today. Thanks for enhancing my play list!
I absolutely adore you, Elyse! I've been really down and struggling with issue upon issue in my life to the point of freeze! Watching you be so authentically you has helped me make an effort towards feeling better.
Also, i took your advice about ysing dandruff shampoo as a face wash...tah dah! My skin is so much clearer!
You are absolutely allowed to dye your hair or not dye your hair and to change your mind whenever you want. It is hair that grows from your head- it belongs to you, and doesn't define you! But you are beautiful either way, because you're beautiful on the inside.
Well said.
@@sandramyers6787 Thank you! It's hard being a human!
Love you Elise! Thank you for making awesome videos for us to enjoy â€
U actually were âš glowing âš i think it made u look refreshed and rejuvenatedâ€
Hey Elyse! I had grey at 30 too, im 45 now and Its not really worse, I mean a few more than I had at 30 but not too many to pull out if I got crazy haha. P.S. You are always beautiful!
I feel the same about lipstick.... I just bought one for the first time.... (I'm 30) it was scary and I now know why women wear nude lipstick lol
I mean, I think the bottle heard you when you said you didn't want anyone to know you did this...đ But also your hair always looks great so like. Whatev!
So I do not dye my hair but I use this every so often. I just like the way it makes my hair shine & smell. It didn't stain anything.Pros do offer glossing services.
I have recently started to try and work on my appearance. It can be disheartening when you think you change something major and nobody ever seems to notice. Maybe I'm just not noticeable.
Love your videos! Hair looked great at the end!
I used to do the same "not trying" thing with school. If i failed because i wasn't trying, yeah of course that's gonna happen, i wasn't trying! But then, if i actually apply myself and can't figure it out and fail and it was my best effort? Ouch. I have gotten a little better about the all or nothing mindset, but also, the learning I'm doing right now is just for fun and not grades or tests đ
You are a fabulous burst of fresh air đ Thank you for everything you are!
I started going grey quite early and I definitely dyed for a while. But then I leaned in and now I have a fully silver lady Mohawk at 45 years old. Grey is đȘ
Ps - girl you can just use some hair conditioner rubbed around your hairline rather than chapstick đ
Hope you heal quickly and well from surgery â„ïž
I also use demi permanent die for my baby grays and definitely no one notices but I notice and that's enough for me
For future reference, you can go to a beauty supply store and get a cape-The thing that they drape over you when you're getting a haircut at a salon. It works really well to keep color off of your skin and clothing. It is also great if you do vivid hair color which tends to bleed a little bit when your hair is wet. so when you are styling your hair you don't have to worry about it bleeding on to your skin or your clothes until your hair is dry. I've had vivid hair color for a number of years now so got some hacks. As for keeping it off your face if you want to do it again in the future you can just get a big old jar of Vaseline. Rubbing alcohol can work well to get it out of your skin. but it would be worthwhile to try some micellar water to see if that is sufficient enough for your skin in particular just because it's a lot gentler.
The 10 minutes will start after you've fully saturated your hair with the color and your satisfied with just sitting.
Next time try goldwell elumen hair color. it works well to penetrate the hair without always needing bleach. but you do want to apply some heat. so put up your hair afterward put on a shower cap and then just use your blow dryer to kind of heat up your hair for about 10 minutes. I get it done at a salon so I just get to sit there with their little heater that circles my head. but you can totally do it at home with a hair dryer if you want. The dryer will help open the cuticle of your hair and get the dye to penetrate. it's very gentle dye. If you want it to pop you can put little blended foils in and then the color will be a little bit brighter in those areas. but it's not necessary you can probably still get a hint of color from it without ever having to lighten your hair.
I followed you on Ig and wondered where you went. So glad to see you are still doing well. CZcams is not my normal platform but gonna try to come on here more to catch you!
Postpartum hair issues are so hard! Do what makes you feel good about things for now. The good news is it typically resolves over time.
I really like how you don't try hard to impress anyone. You're naturally gorgeous and i really enjoy your personality as well!!đ€đđ
Iâm 6 months postpartum and my hair is finally coming back.
Good to see you on CZcams.
Iâve just turned 40 and have decided to let my grey grow out ! I was a hairstylist so giving up the colour was a challenge but I love it now and because I have no colour in my hair for the first time Iâm getting it permed always wanted curly hair so hopefully will feel brand new !
my mom literally just said yesterday in the middle of a non-hair related convo âomg my roots are so bad, i need them done.â i said mom, no one cares. i didnât even look at your roots until you JUST said that. you needing your hair colored does not impact my life in anyway. I promise no one is that focused on your hair, whether you have roots, gray hairâŠwhatever. we all think others are hyper focused on our insecurities but really everyone is just focused on our their insecurities. it sucks we are conditioned this way! hope you are healing quickly from your surgery! â€
I agree we likely overestimate how much other people notice or care about us in many ways! Yet I do believe that there will always be some people out there noticing certain things about people and judging them, basically projecting their areas of insecurity onto others.
So whatâs been most freeing for me is to acknowledge that there may in fact be someone judging me at any given moment, AND that doesnât have to be my problem. đ
I spent my childhood watching my mom stress over being in full makeup and having stockings on to go get the mail. It seemed exhausting. Like, literally, NO ONE IS LOOKING AT YOU.
@@gnomie2.0 you are absolutely right! there are always people out there that are judgey and they suck! being human is hard! why canât we all just love each other for who we are!
@@kristinmudra8553 yes!! i literally never saw my mom without makeup on growing up!
@@kait_shmait I agree đđ
I feel so dumb not knowing you had a CZcams channel đ I missed you so much on tiktok! This is such a great day now that Iâve found you here!!
My hair also started turning gray right after I had a 2nd kid (I was only 27 back then!) I've dyed it at the hairdresser's for the next 8 years and stopped doing it after the immigration (because my language level did not allow me to explain what I wanted, and also, I am very shy). Now I've been flashing gray roots for almost 2 years and literally no one cares! Neither my family, nor my new friends, nobody! I feel those 8 years were a complete waste of time đ€Šââ
Giiiirl that is so relatable especially since my hair looks like trash lately due to grown rootsđ My hair is almost black so I get them lightened. I have now partially purple hair and partially deep brown. Doing my hair at the salon is expensive so I have been doing it myself since 2017. It is always so stressful for me to do it right. My hair is curly and thick but frizzy and struggling đ ADHD procrastination gets the best of me lately
You should try the brand overtone if you want to kinda see what dyeing your hair would be like. Or if you just wanted a little umpf to your regular look. It does not perma dye your tub or skin (may look like it might in the moment). I think it would show up more than this gloss did. I tried the overtone in purple (on brown hair) and had fun plum color to my hair during the pandemic.
The win is...now you know!!!!
I'm also 30, postpartum, and have the same hair color as you :) My hair too felt a bit more dull after having a baby, and I ended up getting a bunch of greys at the front of my hair. What I do is dye my hair with a semi-permanent dye - so its one that washes out and I don't have to worry about roots because by the time my hair grows it's washed out. The best one I've tried so far is Clairol Natural Instincts in the shade Black Brown :) It makes my hair look glossy, especially if I continue to use the conditioner provided in the box. My husband says it makes me look 5 years younger.
I woke and had trouble getting back to sleep around 4 AM. I started watching this video. I dozed off, when I woke again you were building up the layers of the dress and fluffing it about. I couldnât believe the shape it was so silly! Thank you for that. I enjoyed watching it again later on.
You are blessed with absolutely gorgeous hair. Most of your followers love it just the way it is. Please give it some love for us. (The gray's fine, you earned it) âźïž đ đ
Hey, hope that surgery spot healed up okay! I think salt & pepper hair is GORGEOUS, but it needs frequent-ish trims and good products. Maybe film a salon visit? Yeah, scary prospect, I knowâŠ
Iâve used Gloss for a couple of years. It doesnât dye your hair so it doesnât matter what color you use. Also, I donât think it works well. I just bought a lot of it. Will try something else next time.
This is so relatable because today I went and dyed my grayâs at the salon and we watched this together lol
I started graying at like 21. I had a lovely professor in college who was no older than 40 or so and was completely gray. It doesnât have to be a bad thing, itâs what you make it.
I buy âroot touch upâ for gray. Read the directions. You mix two solutions together in a tray thatâs provided. Mix with the application brush also provided. Apply to gray hair area first then usually use whatâs left to put all over the hair. Start timing for 10 min after all is applied. Rinse out. Do not shampoo after. Will last for weeks. Oh you can just go naturally gray. đMy sister got her first gray hair at age 12. Now she lets it go and years later she has naturally white long hair and itâs beautiful. You do you.
You make me smile Elyse. Thank you đđâ€đ
"Same" about making any effort in my appearance. But - I started going gray early and colored my hair for years. Fun. But when I was ready to embrace the gray - love it now! đ
Watching you do that reminded me of why I stopped colouring my hair. Messy, smelly, exhausting, time consuming and after a few weeks do it all over again đ
I had grey hairs in HS! I started coloring in my twenties. When I got close to 60 I finally stopped. But now I look like an old white haired witch đ§ considering ...
thank you elyse for explaining that issue with putting effort into my appearance because I struggle with it too, ever since I was 10 years old
I have bad social anxiety and Iâm the opposite when it comes to getting dressed up. I dress up in more eye catching outfits because I feel like if people stare when Iâm dressed up, it makes sense. Of course theyâre looking. Iâm not dressed like everyone else. Whereas when I dress casually and people look, I start worrying that something is wrong with me when I thought I looked ânormalâ. I just want to control the gaze of others.
Iâm 53 & my mousy brown roots are 4â long & Iâm a blonde đđ Iâll have to use 2 boxes to cover but I use the permanent (?) but imma swimmer so the chemicals in pools can strip out the colour too. But Iâm truly happy just after colouring my hair & hey, do what brings joy â€
Luckily, your natural color is absolutely gorgeous on you, Elyse! So much time and money saved for the future, thatâs a definite win. đ
Missed your face Elyse! I've convinced myself my grey hairs are just literal silver, so im just growing silver out of my head, slowly becoming a silver fox đŠ
There are clear glazes you can use to get the shine and body without the color. Sally's Beauty Supply sells them, and you get in the shower, wash your hair, apply the glaze, do all of your other shower rituals/habits, and then rinse the glaze.
Start applying glaze on top and work to underneath your hair, I start timing once it's applied to the top layer of my hair because that's what you want to be the shiniest. However, when using the clear glaze it doesn't matter because you're not altering your natural color.
might not see it, but hair gloss is really good. it's almost like a protective layer. it makes it feel smoother and tangle less easily. so for hair growth it's a great option.
Love doing all the things with you!!! đ
You have GORGEOUS hair! And you've earned every one of those grays! I love my grays! đ
Your hair looks so glossy!! It definitely worked. Glosses are meant to be subtle and just add shine. It looks great!
man i have also had the thought of taking color to a salon and asking them to do it for me, but at the same time i know i can do it myself and i would absolutely be so embarrassed having to ask that anyway đ iâve been cutting/bleaching/dying my own hair for years at this point but i go through the same panic midway through the process every time, as if its the first time⊠its more fun that way đ
1st off... before I watch the video, I would like to say, with all due respect to you, your beau, your husband (not sure if you're married or not) and, whomever else, that your hair in the opening is absolutely ok with this man, beyond ok, ok!?! Natural hair, natural eyebrows, natural hair lines, no makeup, etc...is THEE absolute best a woman can look, in my book! Ok, go, let's see & I'll edit my final take.
Edit;
First of all, I really enjoy your Selma Blair like hairline! (It makes her just that much more beautiful, to me, anyway!)
Second, I'm kind of glad it didn't take! In the future, when your hair really gets to where a large amount of grey is showing and you want to change that, then, feel free to be yourself & dye that grey away! Ok? OKAY!! đđ
Look into henna hair color or color depositing mask. I usually saran wrap it in my hair overnight.
Ok idk if this makes any sense but I think grey-streaked hair is soooo pretty. like Claire Saffitz's front grey piece? so freaking cute. My grandma had this old photo, where she had grey streaks in her short curly hair... I'm so obsessed. I hope you get to find confidence in whatever way you want to! đđđ
You always make me laugh, in a good way
I hope it doesnât sweat off! Happened to me with âbrunetteâ dry shampoo.
Hi Elyse, Hope your day is fantastic. I absolutely love youâ€. Friday has become my favorite day of the week because of you.
PS: Forgive me if there are any grammatical errors. English is not my first language. Lots of love from India đźđł
I started spotting grays in my mid twenties and either dyed or used henna on my hair until three years ago when I decided "IDGAF!" and let my natural color/non-color grow. I've used the coloring conditioners before and they add depth to my pigmented hair and do not touch the whites and grays.
Living for your long form videos
My brain does that too! I tell myself I'm lazy and not just avoiding putting effort into my appearance because being perceived makes me feel uncomfortable. If I look good and get attention from that, it's because people are shallow and not because I'm glowing with positive vibes about myself.
My best friend at the time started getting grey hairs at FIFTEEN. I dyed my dark brown hair with dark brown hair dye in solidarity?
I've also had a bayalage for ages so my hair was light enough to get fun colours in it, without having to worry about regrowth. I stopped doing that because hairdressers are expensive and I manage to stain Everything when I try to box dye my hair.
âThis is going to turn my hair purpleâ
Me with a purple streak: So? đđ
I had a teacher in 9th grade that was fully gray (except for scattered red in his beard) at 33.
I dyed my hair once in early adulthood out of curiosity. I've never cared enough about my appearance to do it routinely (I'm not distressed by my natural color nor particularly attracted to any other). The advantage as a guy is that you generally only keep a few months growth at a time, so you can just lop it back to the color line at your next haircut.
Ive been dyeing my hair since high school but more recently ive been using hair glosses more because my grays have taken full over and I am hoping that it will be gentler than box dyes. Two kids and years of teaching have made my grays over half grey. Im 35. Ooof
I had NEVER dyed my hair until I started getting grey in my very late 40âs. I now have it done every 6-8 weeks, but Iâve never tried doing it myself. I will dye it until itâs too much to keep up with.
The things that say that are conditioner with color, usually only work on bleached hair and donât cover grays. I use one to keep up with my copper balayage, it only dyes my bleached hair. I think Overtone may cover grays? But Iâm not sure
I just appreciate you verbalizing in a non-confusing way about feelings I also have internalized and then I also think maybe it is cause we are millennials? But I just feel like so many people relate!
If you did try this again, you might want to use the shade licorice. Thatâs more black, & I feel like it would be a better match. Plus it made your hair look nice & shiny, so thatâs a plus! đ
As soon as I got a job where I could dye my hair I bleached it and dyed it blue. No, not just blue, bright blue. I only stopped because it dried my hair out too much over time.
Iâve ALWAYS wanted to dye my hair a cool bright color so honestly you lived my dream!
I highly recommend it, especially if you don't really go anywhere you don't have to be self conscious.
â@@elyse_myers the answer is wigs or clip in extensions!
Man I fully feel the whole not wanting to put effort in etc. I feel like I wasn't always like that, pretty sure I have adhd need to sort out getting diagnosed, but I think self esteem gets pretty messed up whrn you have it
I hope you can embrace your grey and nit die. I am trying to grow out my grey at 50 and the process is very awkward, I really wish I had never started dyeing it.
At 26 my teen foster daughter delighted in my graying temples. At 35 my 4yo proudly announced to everyone for a week that I had 'blondered' my hair. I never worried about getting it perfectly covered eac time..
Wandering roots. Also didn't use clock, just time to start load of laundry,vac house, put dishes away then rinsed now in. 60s Ash blond with white accents is white with light blonde and dark brown accents. No more dye
My salon does this for $35. Iâve enjoyed my grey hair, but I just tried this to see if my greys would look highlights. But I can still see some grey. But I do look a lot younger.
