hey guys and welcome to my channel if you want to see how i go from this to this then just keep watching all right so right now my hair is just terrible so it's been through a lot of bleach a lot of chlorine from the pool all over summer and my ends are looking just really really bad so i definitely need a haircut so i want to change this color i want to make it a little more blended i definitely want to go a little darker as you can see my roots are super dark my
hair is very dark naturally but it's it's not blending as nicely as i would like so i'm gonna blend it a little more and i'm gonna just tone it down overall so first i'm going to just do a rough cut just to cut some of the length and i saw this video of this youtuber a hairstylist that used this method so i'm gonna give it a try and by the way i've been experiencing a lot of hair fallout within like the last month i would say more around the last two months but the last month
has been the worst and i'm not sure why i think maybe i'm a little bit stressed um since we just bought a house and we're renovating it and maybe that could be the reason so i think a good haircut is also going to help me with my hair fallout and thinning so i'm looking forward to that for sure okay so the method is basically you take these little rubber bands and you put them where you want to get a haircut and i am [Music] i think i'm going to go three three little ties two and
three [Music] i did four times just to make it a little bit tighter i'm not sure that was a good idea but okay so i think that a good length for me is gonna be like right around here so i think that's how short i'm gonna go so all of this is going by mine and to be honest i'm not really sad about it because this hair is so like fragile and brittle that i don't even think this is like nice looking anymore so i'm gonna take that and do it in the back as well
and then he just recommended that the hair be super straight okay so we'll do that [Music] the back you kind of see it a little bit more because the back of my hair is like longer so that's gonna be a dramatic difference for sure [Music] so i want the back of my hair to be kind of um just straight um i have a little bit of a u-shape or v-shape right now so i'm gonna take some of that shape off and just make it a little bit straighter so it just thinks a really good look
for me so i that's why i'm gonna place it in the back like this so that's this method is for that it helps you get like the straighter cut so i said why not right okay so we are matching up these little oh we're not matching up these rubber bands this one is falling off okay so make sure that the rubber bands are tighter because mine just slid down and that's the recipe for a really bad haircut and then even haircut not too tight jen okay see perfect all right so let's see it let's see
that it is the zing so these are right about the same length and yeah i think it's a little bit shorter in the front but that's that's cool that's still okay if it's a little bit shorter in the front this is it the moment of truth here all right guys i have shorter hair okay so i did the other side and we're we're not going to remove the rubber band let's do the back first so the back will be kind of easy we'll do the same thing screw this right bye bye here i wonder what
my husband will say when he comes home and finds me with no hair he'll say nothing because i am in charge of my hair alright guys officially official i have short hair and it already looks healthier it's unbelievable [Music] all right so we're gonna trim the front a little bit just because the front of my hair looks atrocious i'm just going to cut a little bit because you know what i don't want it to look kind of crazy so i'm just cutting this part a little bit in this part i'm just trimming the front just
slightly just to make sure that that hair is also nicely trimmed and has a little bit more of dimension and flows well once i dry it you guys my hair is officially gone like look at this stuff it looks terrible i needed this haircut so badly so now what i'm gonna do is give it a little wash and i'll trim it a little bit more after it's wet because i just feel like my hair just does better when it's shrimp and wet so i'll do that and then i'll be ready for two alright guys so
we're back i washed my hair and now i'm ready to tone it i was initially gonna just trim a little bit more but i think i'm just gonna leave it rough and straight like this um to see if i like this look and then later on i'll decide if i want to change it or not so let's go with toner so here i'm using two different bowls so one is for my darker parts of my hair and another one is for the lighter parts that way i don't get confused and this application is going to
take less than five minutes it's just basically applying the toner and brushing it um over and i'm all out of developer so i am using all the agora vibrance uh toners and i'll list every single one that i use but i'm gonna use this willa six volume or six percent 20 volume um with the toners because i'm out of the toning gel which is usually six volume so this one is 20 volume um so i'll use this it's still a right like i i always use um just regular developer 20 or lower um i just
find that when i use 20 it does cover a little bit more so if you don't want it to lift your hair at all then i suggest going with six volume um or just a regular gel developer um yeah that's what i'm gonna do i'll list everything and when toning i start from the bottom and i don't do small sections and i don't use the tiny brush to comb through um uh once it's toned like obviously now i'm detangling my hair but after i start toning like it's important for me not to pass this because
then it's going to run a lot of the product down it's going to make it just look a mess for the toner application i'm using this size comb and basically i'm just going to apply through and then the bottom and then i'll just comb it through and let's get started all right so i mixed up my root uh toner shade and it's like this nice thick consistency it's not watery at all and this is what i like to work with because when it's watery i feel like i make a lot more mess and it's tougher
to apply so this cream application is my favorite and i'm going to start with just applying it on my route all over the root and going about two inches down with this color [Music] now obviously i can't see the back of my hair but i've done this enough that i can just feel it out trust me it's a thing i can feel it out and see where i'm missing and i like that this is gonna give me a very subtle lift in my um natural color so it'll just blend a lot nicer um and that's
what i want i feel like the blonde was getting kind of it was too much contrast for me and that just doesn't look good and i have curly hair so i feel like you have to watch it with the contrast when you have curly hair because it doesn't look the same when it's straight than when it's curly so i find that this is the best for me okay and very very very important is having some sort of towel or something for you to wipe your hands because you do not want to run your fingers through
any other part of your hair especially the part that is lighter if you want to keep it lighter so what i'm doing first is going through all of the roots so just for visibility purposes i'm gonna do this side first [Music] and i'm combing with the small comb just to make sure i don't have any tangles all right and in my application i'm making sure to evenly distribute the root toner all over and make sure it's fully coating my hair so that everything can just blend smoothly all right we'll finish off the casio over here
and what is going on behind my head you ask i don't know all right so for the remainder of my hair i just follow the same technique um i just try to fill out what i can and uh apply the product and then use the big comb just to gently comb through and blend a little bit of the product but not too much so as you notice i'm not over combing just applying the product mostly on the root i'm mostly careful not to just run the product too low because i want the lighter parts of
my hair to stay lighter and then if i run it too low then it's just gonna look overgrown and not nice so um this is just just continue to just apply this root shadow um if you have more hair than me i highly recommend that you take small portions don't rush um this process i mean if you have a dark root like i do it's not like it's gonna you know work and lighten your hair or anything it's just a very subtle lift so um i would say this part of the application is the one
that takes the longest because i'm trying to be thorough so it takes about a good five to ten minutes depending on how much hair you have just to apply this on yourself [Music] all right we have the toner on the root and now we're going with our all-over toner and basically just put it all over your hair this is what i do off so okay so for this part of your hair you definitely want to work quickly the product is going to start working on the bleached parts of your hair so you want it to
just distribute evenly throughout your hair so this part which is the lighter toner just go you know apply it all over go to town um don't delay and just make sure that it's as even as possible and then you can comb through [Music] and this is the crucial part you need to come on your hair because that's how it blends for this part you want to make sure that you're combing out all the sections just be gentle with your hair um i am trying to be as gentle as possible because my hair is prone to
be just very knotted and tangles really fast so um just to avoid any sort of fallout be gentle with your hair in advance i did leave a little bit of conditioner just so that it can be smoother for me to run this comb so don't be afraid to apply that it's not going to do anything to the toner it'll still work but it's just very important to comb out your hair so that once you straighten it or even once the product works you just have a nice uh blended application and you don't have contrast like
i had before and then in this part i'm just applying any extra root um toner on the top and just blending out a little bit just making sure that all my edges are toned with this root shadow color [Music] and now that the toner application is put on um we're just going to let this sit for about 10 15. actually i'm gonna let it sit for about 15-20 minutes because i wanted to get the color really good um and then i'll wash off and blow-dry so pray for me just pray for me because hopefully this
comes out how i envision in my head if it doesn't [Music] we'll deal with it then but be right back all right guys so i've been processing for 15 minutes and i'm gonna go wash off this hair i checked in on it and it's looking pretty dark very very dark which is what i wanted but let's see if we still have some dimension in there i'll be right back i love this hair color so much this is not too dark i feel like it's still dimensional it's still dark here but blended well and the haircut
is beautiful like a dream i feel like if you have long hair and do not want to go to the salon or just want to do something at home um you can definitely try that rubber band method it's by brad mondo so i'll tag the video where i saw him uh post it first but oh wow like this is this is unbelievable and the hair color also makes my hair feel and look healthier okay uh yeah so it makes my hair feel and look healthier so i am obsessed with this um haircut and hair color
