Actually, no, it's not, it's not because it's four am the sun is not shining yet, but come the end of this video, it will be today is the day the sun is shining, the birds are singing and I am about to dye my hair red.

I'm going back to red guys, that's it, that's it, that's the end of the hair coloring adventures.

I first bleached my hair in january 2020 when I was in Japan and I dyed my hair pink.

First time in my life I've had any other colors other than my natural color of red and it's been two whole years of every color I could possibly think of plenty of fun was had along the way and plenty of concern was expressed, but I am now ready to go back to the way that I was just with much shorter hair.

So my mother has been the biggest advocate for me to return to my natural red hair probably from the moment that I went pink the second that she saw me with pink hair, she was like put it back, put it back, go back to the way you were and ever since then for two years, she's been asking me to dye my hair back to read.

So mom, that's what I'm doing today and I'm going to be dying my hair red using shades of red hair dye that my mom has picked out for me many months ago.

My mom came to my house with a big shopping bag full of Schwarzkopf live in the shade as tech copper and tangerine twist and mom said Alex when you decide to dye your hair back to red, please use these.

And I said why?

And she said because I think that if you mix this and you mix this it'll be the color that your hair was before you bleached it and she said please promise me, promise me that you'll use these when you go to dye your hair red again.

Now I I was going to use arctic Fox or you know some other trendy brand but I have caused my mom enough pain and suffering over the past two years watching me torment her and myself with everything that I've done to my hair so I thought no, no I may as well do do something nice for her and dye my hair using the colors that she chose for me.

So with that mom wants me to take this Schwarzkopf live as Tech copper and mix it in equal parts with Schwarzkopf Ultra Brights Live tangerine twist, hopefully two packets will be enough to cover my whole head and if you are confused as to why my hair looks the way that it does right now I look like Gilda Roy Lockhart with a bowl cut, it's because I just used the product color groups to remove the black blue from my hair and reset it back to this so with that let's mix these up, Interesting difference in the textures between two, that is really kind of concerning.

Mhm.

Mhm.

That Alright, so aside from the fact that it looks absolutely delicious, it looks kind of thick and I'm considering maybe mixing in just a tiny little bit of conditioner just to let it go a little bit further.

Is that a good idea?

Too late if you're leaving a comment saying no, it's a terrible idea because I've already done it.

This is a conditioner that I'm literally obsessed with.

This is the sole de janeiro hair.

So difficult to know the name of these products because they put up a jillion words all over the packaging.

But essentially it's like a hair treatment and I love it.

It's done incredible things to my hair.

I've been trying Ola plex for like over a month now and this, I feel like this is better than all plex owner.

I know, please don't company but I do love it and it smells absolutely incredible.

I'm just I'm gonna take a little bit of it and I'm going to just put it in there.

Probably just like a spoon, maybe just a spoon of it and hopefully that'll send this out just enough to help me spread it through my hair.

Alright, so the instructions say that you have to apply the hair dye to towel dried hair.

So I'm gonna give it a quick wash, I'll use a little bit of clarifying shampoo just to make sure that there's no residual product of any sauce on it.

Now.

Start dying slowly.

Alright, this is it.

It's happening, I can't believe it's actually happening.

Okay, I'm ready.

Okay, Hello?

Oh, look at your hair.

Oh, that looks so gorgeous.

You like it, It looks beautiful, doesn't it?

And here it is.

So it is not quite close to my natural hair color, My natural hair color is not so orange.

It was very, very orange when I was a kid.

And then as I've grown older, it's, it's sort of leaning more towards a brownie kind of red.

So obviously it's a, it doesn't look natural at the moment, which means I'm going to need to tweak the formula or tweak the recipe a little bit.

So if you guys have any recommendations about red hair dye products that you know of, that could possibly give me something like this, which is what my hair looked like on my wedding day, which as my husband says is his favorite shade of my hair.

My natural hair color and he has also informed me that second that his favorite shade is pink.

So with that being said, there may or may not have been some lies told when I said that I was done with my hair dyeing adventures because there is something so appealing about a pastel pink bob.

But you know what, we'll get to that when my hair grows to it because I'm far from a bob at the moment.

It's, it's not a pixie cut, it's not a big c cut, it's, I don't know what to call this length, but you know what, I'll enjoy it while I have it.

So with that, thank you guys so much for joining me on today's adventure.

I'm happy enough with the color at the moment, but you guys, you know me, it's, it's not going to stay this way for very long.

So I suppose this is the commencement of trying to find the perfect shade of red to suit me.

So you know what, prepare for lots more hair dyeing videos as I try fire truck red and I try orange and I try orbit and I try strawberry blonde, who knows the possibilities endless.

So like I said, if there's any red hair dyes that you would like me to experiment with or perhaps if there's 40 red hair dyes that you would like me to mix together and dye my hair with, please leave them in the comment section down below now that my hair is finally read again, I will begin the hair repair journey.

So I'll be trying out the Joy Co four step hair repair system.

I'll be trying out a whole bunch of other products to on my journey to getting my hair back to the state that it was in.

You know what?

Probably when I was five years old because let's be honest, my hair has been damaged for the majority of my life.

But aside from that, I'm very much looking forward to getting my hair feeling nice and soft and luxurious.

And I'm also looking forward to finding the right shade of red that's pretty close to my natural color and most certainly not bleaching it again and going pink.

I'm definitely enjoying the length of my hair.

It's a lot of fun playing around with different hairstyles.

I have had that many days where I have sleek, did it all the way back and I've just had it looking really, really super short.

I've had days where I've kind of like puffed it up on the top and I've left it quite short on the sides.

I feel like there's a fine line between pleasure and pauline Hanson when I've got hair like this.

If you don't know who pauline Hanson is and you didn't quite understand that joke earlier in the video, she's a politician in Australia that people aren't particularly fond of, I'll just say that much.

But yeah, no, I'm loving having my hair at this length, but that being said, I do also have a lot of wig content coming your way, which I'm very, very, very excited about and that will start rolling out soon.

So if you are interested in seeing that, don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications.

So you know when I upload those videos, if you have any hair styling tips for me now that I have this length hair, I feel like there's a fair bit that I can probably play around with.

So if you think of any styling ideas, please send me a photo on instagram or on twitter, I'm going to be in this little bit of an awkward stage for awhile as I wait for my hair to grow longer.

I very much look forward to having a bulb.

That's what I'm most excited for.

I want to bob and fringe at the moment.

My fringe is kind of, I mean it, it is still there.

Do you remember I wanted, I wanted curtain bangs.

Um that didn't quite happen.

What I, what I ended up with was a disaster.

But yeah, look, the fringe, the bangs are still, they're still kind of there, but these days instead of wearing it like that, I've, I've been kind of like pulling it up and back.

I always like having a bit of volume to my hair.

So I'm gonna probably have to start experimenting with hairspray and volume, and I also wanted to give the curly girl method to try.

So if there's any of these hair styling things that you want to see me do, just let me know in the comments down below.

I feel like the predicament that I am left with now is do I want my hair to throw more red tones or more orange tones?

I'm not really sure, because when I was younger I had that really, really orangey kind of hair, and as I got older it sort of turned more red and then it turned kind of more brownish, so I don't know which way that I want to lean, and I feel like the only way that I'm going to be able to find out is through experimentation.

So yeah, may or may not have slightly lied when I said no, this is the end of the hair dyeing adventures, as if Alex was going to dye her hair red once and then just be done with hair dying forever if you fell for that.

So yes, I want to see myself with a little bit more of an orangey kind of Tyrone, and I also want to see myself with pink again, but with that, thank you guys so much for joining me on this adventure, let me know what you think about the color in the comment section down below.

If you like this color on me, let me know I may or may not keep it for several more days more.

Change it.

So with that, thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you next time.

How many hours did you sleep last night for love before?

And then 2 1/2 the night before.

So what you're trying to say is you're really tired and you're delaying doing this outro because you're tired and you don't have the motivation but you really want to talk about the results, but you're so tired that you also want to go to bed.

Well, it seems like the remedies.

Good.

Go to bed.

You've done your makeup really pretty and done your eyes my eyes out the back.

Yeah.

So you protect your eyelashes.

You did your job.

My eyebrows too.

But then you're gonna go to bed and then you have to read it again, which means you'll lose.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Four.

Give me up.

You do the trick.

You tell people mistakes were made, but you're happy and you would use their product again because it's not bad.

It looks really cool.

Then then the most important thing so you can have some cuddles.

And tomorrow if you're not filming anything because you're just moving stuff out of the garage, you don't need to waste the time doing my makeup because there's no point.
