i've had to respond to this hundreds of times so I might have to start putting a disclaimer in my videos. Archie is going through parrot puberty right now and is extremely aggressive. I'm covered in scars from where he's taken chunks out of my skin. Our vets advice was to limit our physical contact with him during this hormonal period so as not to trigger the aggression. Birds are complicated animals, and anyone that's owned a large parrot like Archie knows exactly what we're going through right now. He does come out of his cage, but we have to be on the other side of the room to him when he's out, or else he will lunge at us. He's almost taken out my eye a few times in the last few months. You literally have no idea how painful it is for me to own a pet I love so dearly, that acts so sweetly when he's inside his cage, to just suddenly turn on a dime and become murderous. He growls, screams, scratches, lunges, takes huge chunks out of my skin leaving me bleeding for hours. Being a parrot owner isn't all fun and games, and it really hurts my feelings when I read comments like this.

@@PrettyPastelPlease I knew it had to be something! You were always such a good bird mommy!

@@PrettyPastelPlease I didn't mean to hurt your feelings though. I'm sorry

@@PrettyPastelPlease Might have to educate us with a video. I hope people aren't being too harsh

Kaili Meguire people are being horrible, I’ve read that many comments saying I’m an animal abuser, they say “she got the bird and then got bored of it so threw it in a cage and never touched it again”. People even leave comments speculating I’ve killed him and that’s why he’s not in my videos any more. It really does my head in 😪

yes! ive done this exact thing before. i was trying to ombre my hair so i bought a brown for the top and blonde for the bottom. my hair is just past my shoulders but very thin so 1 bottle total would be plenty. i mixed up half of each color in separate bowls so i could save the other half for another time. otherwise i would of been throwing away a lot of unused product.

@Tianna Elizalde The box instructions try to explicitly make you think you can't do this so that you waste product and have to buy more, so it isn't your fault at all

was just about to write exactly that and now I don't have to 🙇🏻‍♀️

Was coming to say this 👆😁 glad in not the only one who thought of it

But isnt it bleach based? So you can use Schwarzkopf bleach instead like a bleach wash ?

I used color oops and then tried to bleach my hair and it turned black 🤣

Not true, you just need to follow the instructions to the letter and do all of the shampooing/rinsing they tell you to. What it does is open the hair follicle and swell the dye molecules so they can slip out of the hair. The rinsing and washing ensures that they are all removed before you finish and the hair closes back up.

@@AriannaGi k(kkkkkkk(

@@jessicawilson8240 that is how it works but color oops is the worst color remover you could use imo. It never fully rinses out no matter how long or how hot the water is. If your options are bleach or color oops you should honestly just bleach it.

Hairdresser here! Malibu C is amazing! Good job!

It would be really fun to try some hairstyles like the singer from La Roux! They already look really similar!

Charlize Theron did it too and it’s beautiful on them

Maybe finger curls too!

Yesss was thinking the same thing! When she had de product in. She is so gorgous.❤️

Yesssss

Good to know!!

This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your expertise! One quick question...how does one perform a developer test?

@@catfeatherss take a piece of hair that can be hidden (avoid hairline or fringe area). Then take developer (20vol preferably) and apply it straight from bottle to small piece of hair. If hair does NOT darken, you are good. If it goes back to the color it was prior to color remover being applied, you could try again, but most likely won’t work. That is when lightener would be used (safely and gently). Cheers!

@@gracieshepardtothemax1743 you're the best! Thanks again for all the wisdom!!

Is this a damaging product? That’s what I’m very nervous about and I keep hearing different things and don’t want my hair to break off

yes this!! or just use a semi-permanent dye or toner on top of what you've got. any chemical process including developer runs the risk of displaying the color molecules remaining again.

But that only applies to permanent hair color Semi permanent hair color doesn't go into your hair folicule it's only on top of it so...

I was just going to say that. Hilarious

I was thinking the same thing! 😂

Hellurh

This... My thoughts exactly!

Feather pillows maybe?

You should make them bedding ☺️

I have a vase full of mine. I'm going to need to start a new vase I think. 😄

I don't even have a bird, but I'm still very happy to find one of the green feathers the parrots outside my building drop

I haven’t had a bird since I was 13 (16 years ago at this point) and I still have a box of feathers from my babies! 🐦

the thing is though there are similar products here in Australia... Just obviously her largely American fanbase recommend what they know. Then this happens. X3

I think a lot of people have a bit of protagonist syndrome thinking that everything exist in their bubble and it's preposterous to think that things don't always work the way they've experienced it.

One thing I will say is that I guarantee she will make the money back and then some with this video alone so I don't know why people feel entitled to tell people how to spend her money. I also think people forget that places exist outside of America and what we find common here may not be other places ect. Especially about currency because people flip out about prices there and forget it's a totally different currency lol

@@bloodirose but… why are people mad because she bought the product? Yes it was more expensive, but it’s her money. I’d get people being sad that she had to pay the inflated price, but it worked! And she’s clearly super happy :)

Ya there is really no need for the hate. It does nothing for anyone. Just sad ppl in their own lives.

agreed 👍

the force is strong with this one!

Myself and my daughter have used Arctic fox blue dye several times. My daughter kept hers blue for about a year. And with both of us all it took was a bleach wash (lightening powder, small amount of developer, mixed with shampoo) to get it out completely. And it was not damaging to the hair either. We may have just gotten lucky lol. But it worked. My hair went back to a very pale almost white blonde by doing this. No blue was left at all.

@@ashleygray4034 Yes, you have been very lucky 😊 Had blue in my hair for a year after one application, tried everything on the internet. Even the hairdresser couldnt get rid of it. So we colored it a darker redish brown to cover it🤷🏼‍♀️

I swear by Jo Baz Colour Remover. I’ve found it to be much better than ColourB4. I really recommend it x

I’m in NZ and have bought a colour remover from my local supermarket for $40 so surely there will be something similar available in Aussie!

We have Colorless Max and Scott Cornwall in the local supermarket. I had an allergic reaction to the scott cornwall colour stripper so I use colourless.

Really? Blue came outta my hair relatively easy the one n only time I've bleached it

Ya you think blue is the hardest to remove till you’ve tried SPLAT pink 😭😐🙈

I collected my birds feathers too 🪶

We do have hair colour removers, or Colour Oops alternatives in Australia, that are A LOT cheaper. Alex obviously wasn't aware of any and just went with the recommendation.

Seconded, also comes highly recommended by aka aislinn!

Me too until she explained why😳

Yes! Same here! I’m a redhead as well and i HATED it when I was little. The only people who liked my hair were little old ladies. Now that I’m in my 30s I love my red hair and I finally grew it long. I went through a phase where I was dying and bleaching parts black parts platinum, but never my whole head. I’m so happy my red hair is still red now!

It’s so much because she’s buying a product that’s not available here. There are pretty much the same type of products you can buy here, however. The difference is. It’s not the brand everyone was telling her to use. It’s brands that are available here in Australia. 🤷‍♀️

i've never heard of hair texture being a barrier to hair coloring. alex had natural ringlets originally. sounds like you've just had some colorists who didn't know what they were doing!

Yes, like the other person said, curly hair doesn’t stop hair color from working. My daughter has naturally curly and course hair, and I’ve never had an issue coloring it. If it’s something you want to do, go for it!

Yes I bought jeans and they stink of moth balls, can't get the smell out.

@@sianrohde8714 That’s exactly what the smell is! I could not place what the smell was.

@@hollypierce3076 I have read if you do a wash with vinegar and then normal it should get the smell out, I'll give it a go and hope it works 🤞

I got a wig from shein (brown with pink waves no fringe my mistake) and it's good! Looks nice and not too fake and fits good, no smell and pretty colours

I hope she sees this

Vitality Colour Off is available in Australia at Chemist Warehouse and Colourless by Max Effect is available at Coles Supermarket. Just checked.

Yea there's Scott Cornwall and colourless from priceline 🥰

@@DominosAndHearts yes , colourless sounds very similar to colour oops and muuch cheaper!

@@beckawilk I think Alex mentioned that she has used the colourless one and didn't have good results, but there are other brands as well.

@@beckawilk she said her hair fell out when she used it
