"She is GOING from BLUE to BLONDE" is the new "she done lost her damn mind"

I spent my teenage years in tears doing similar things to my hair and now I leave it all to a professional. Should my son want to do crazy things to his hair as well, I’ll be more than happy to take him to the salon.

My heart is breaking for her! She should have stopped when is was that gorgeous mermaid pale green. It looked really good on her! Not everyone can have that color,but she rocked it. Poor thing being 16 and not being sure,working,and going to school,she just became overwhelmed. Hopefully someone helped her! 😥😥😥

HB: Let your hair rest. Do some masks, some treatments.. Everyone watching: She's going to bleach it again.

I'm at the point that when I'm in the bathroom doing my own hair, I hear your voice in the back of my head "use 20 or 10 with your bleach, take fine sections, toner only works with 10 developer..." it's become a mantra that's saving my hair so thanks!

I liked the way it looked after the first bleach! The meltdown at mom over possibly going to school bald was classic. I tend to feel bad for these younger girls because I know how impulsive they can be, and they have no idea how these chemicals and pigments react. Grown people who aren't experienced are in the same boat, but I am not as sympathetic when they do impulsive teen BS and then film themselves crying about it. I am glad she isn't going back to school bald. It was so frustrating for her to end up with blue hair again after all of that. I don't think the color looks bad- it brings out her eyes.

I unexpectedly lost about half of my income a few months ago. After about 6 months without attention from a colorist, my roots were showing badly and my hair looked awful. I am a natural blonde, kind of light blonde, but not as light as I like. I have alopecia and, for me, the extra light blonde/white disguises how thin my hair is by blending better with my very light scalp. I've tried different levels of lightening before, and this works best for me. Since I can't afford professional coloring anymore, I decided to try to do it myself. I'm happy to say that it turned out exactly how I wanted, with no extra hair loss, and no scalp pain. This was able to happen because I did A LOT of real research online and on KZfaq. I also watched EVERY Hair Buddha video available. I like the way he teaches by example and he seems like he knows what he's doing without being campy and ridiculous (you know who I'm talking about, Brad) and giving iffy advice. I have never seen any videos talking about how someone took H.B.'s advice on cutting or coloring and had a catastrophe (also referring to you know who 🤨). Because I researched brands of bleach and colors of toner, I knew what to buy ("blonde me"all the way!) Because I watched Hair Buddha, I knew about doing a bleach bath to take care of any lingering fashion colors hidden in the hair shafts. I knew to go no higher than 20 vol., just in case I needed to do another round of bleaching. I knew to do my roots only AFTER l the lengths were the color I wanted, and I knew to take FINE SECTIONS. I must give all the love and credit to Hair Buddha because, without him, my hair would most certainly be a mess. I probably would have used a box bleach, so it would have ended up over-processed, and the hidden blue, pink, and purple I have used before would have come shining through as green and orange ugliness. I love the stylists who have colored my hair for me in the past. I have been happy with them for years. But because I lost a large hunk of my income a few months ago and had to resort to DYI coloring, I am even happier with how it looks now than ever before and for a lot less money. I got the level of lightening I like with the perfect tone (I used "blond me" 7 vol.for toning, per Hair Buddha's advice) , and for less than half of what it would have cost for just one salon visit, I got great hair and enough product for many more times in the future. I also got a jar of "blond me" hair mask to keep it in good shape. The "blond me" brand cost a little more than I wanted to pay, but as our wise teacher says, it's best to get all the same brand because they were formulated to work together best. If you read this, Hair Buddha, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You give great advice, and I couldn't have done it (correctly anyway) without you. I'm going to keep watching your videos, so I can keep my hair looking great. I always learn something from your videos and I'm always entertained by your videos. So, I always click the thumbs up button. Please never stop. We all need you, some more than others. Edit: I forgot to say that I'm sorry for the all caps I used for emphasis, but YT comments don't allow italics anymore. 😮‍💨

I feel so sorry for all the young girls who constantly feel the need to say 'i look ugly, i look like sh!t' etc. just to not be attacked by others online. And also because they see this image of perfection online that is unattainable.

Yeah she should have stuck with the minty green color it looks great on her she looked like a mermaid, especially with the make up she did.

you’re so kind, even while watching her doing something so silly and damaging with her hair. You’re a good guy, buddha. Many knowledgeable people will bully other when they see a such a bad technique. Instead of harping on about how it’s so bad, you EXPLAIN how it’s bad while still being empathetic and complimentary ❤

Thank you so much for your tips on bleaching. I bleached my daughters root regrowth today with Blonde Me with bonder and 20vol Blonde Me developer. Then used Redken EQ with bonder in shade 9v Platinum Ice and Crystal Clear 000 to dilute intensity 3:1, then the Redken 2% developer and it has turned out beautifully. She used the Blonde Me rich hair mask with bonder after. Condition and strength is as good as at the salon BUT I used to be a hairdresser, but I was taught 43 years ago when many of these products didn't exist, and I studied your videos and 'World of Craig' for the EQ Toners for WEEKS, until I was absolutely sure of what I was doing. So thank you so much for expert's like yourself because you are doing young people (and grannies, like myself) a really valuable service. Thank You So Much Xx

I like the titanium color, even though it wasn’t what she wanted. It’s frustrating to work so hard and feel you failed. But, maybe it’s also a good thing to learn from. I hope she’s better, now. ❤

I don't know if it's the same in the USA but in the UK many colleges have salons and you can go along and get your hair cut and coloured by students (under the guidance of the lecturers) and it is much cheaper than going to a fully qualified hairdresser (and they use professional products). Also, some salons regularly advertise for students and models and again, it's often cheaper and in my (admittedly limited) experience, a safer option than doing it yourself with products you know very little about.

It’s so lovely how gentle Hair Buddha is when he sees how upset she was. I bet he’s seen some hair tragedies and i bet he was making them feel 100% better 😊❤

I've used that same titanium dye for a root shadow before. It fades green so fast. And then bleaching it out went hot pink. Had to go get some green to neutralize that mess out.

My daughter had very long hair & she kept colouring it dark brown. Her natural colour was dark blonde. It took me many months like 18 + of foils to get the dark brown out and there was no damage. That is interesting about the pigments from each different company

My daughter went through the usual phase of colouring her hair, however she didn't want to waste money trying to remove the colour, she wanted to just start again and shaved all of her hair off, grade 2 all over!! 🙈👍🏻

My hair was emerald green at first then it faded out, teal is one of my favorite colors so I bought some blue to mix with some green. Now it's teal blue on top with bright green underneath to blue tips. Not what I was going for but everyone compliments it and asks who did it. Guess it turned out to be a happy accident 🥰😆

I'm not a professional, but I did my hair by myself for a long time, and I think that after the second bleach she could just had used a strawberry blonde (with a strong peachy pink hue) or a red with 10/20 vol and the hair could have been toned and nice... I feel so bad for her

Aww Bless her, she reminds me of myself at her age. I would of cried too. Great teaching @Hair Buddha. x

Her final outcome was actually pretty! After all the bleaching, I really thought all of her hair would fall out. It's sad that she thinks her beauty comes from what her hair looks like. It's so hard to be young and insecure.

The thing that I really appreciate the most of these videos, besides being non-judgemental, is how you teach temperance applied to hair colours. That's something I think many other hairdressers either underestimate or downright despise because yolo, the more drastic the change the better, right? But it DOES bring risks with it. I love to hear you bringing us back to reality: even if you could change colour, sometimes it may just not be the best for your hair. Or sometimes you just have to be patient and take the right steps in order to reach your goal. That's right and that's nice. Keep on going! ❤️

My Monday relief has arrived! I've been looking forward to seeing you, Hair Buddha. Have a great week, Hair Buddha and friends. 🌞❤️🌈

I am sooo happy Hair Buddha said to use the remover that is the same as the hair color u used!!! BRAVO!!! THIS MAN GIVES GOOD INFO!!! He doesn’t follow some fad technique going around he gives great tips! I always forward his videos to my friends! Helps a lot!!! ❤

Her hair looked great after the first bleach; blended great with her roots.. lol she has a jiffy pop popcorn cap on

She’s learning. The second wash wasn’t bad. Light color works with her eyes. Thanks again for the tips Mr. Hair Buddha❤

As a hairstylist… I wanted to feel bad but omg I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 I also use to work for Sally’s when this Titanium color came out, and this problem was not uncommon.. but I’ve never seen it this bad

I think because after the 4th bleach it looked kinda silvery she thought grey would be more achievable.

Straw hair imminent...she was picturing a silver looking titanium ring...I can't imagine how this gets fixed.

I'm not a hairdresser, but I am a visual artist and I wonder if dyeing her hair with a complimentary colour (red in her case to cancel out the green) would have helped to archieve a more brown or medium blonde colour. Idk 🤷‍♀️

This was a great vid, really enjoyed it and actually smiled.she was a lovely lass, not so cocky and showy off like all the others. She meant well with her hair and did it “somewhat” thoughtfully. Unfortunately she didn’t get all the bleach blended through well. She has a beautiful face and uses minimal makeup with is also a lovely thing to see for young chicks. Her Bob wasn’t all that bad actually but yes unless you want orange hair it best to redo in another tone. The buzz cut was brave but I can tell you from being a person who cuts n colours their own hair for many years (yes sometimes having semi fails as I am NOT a hairdresser, but with sensible action after it always went well, even having others comment asking where did I get my hair done, lol) Buss cut looked great, I assume a few days later she would have noticed those lil longer sections and corrected them. Yes the darker hair accentuates her face n eyes amazingly….gorgeous lass inside n out. A sweetie. Good video HairBudda…Lisa in West Aussie

She's so beautiful ~

If she knew she was gonna do titanium, she didn't need to bleach any of that color out. Thinking gray is the same as titanium is a big mistake 😬 always check your color wheel, my friend..

All these colours are to risky and to stressful for this plain Jane. I would have a melt down if I tried something like this and it ended up a mess.

Poor poor girl... I hope she leaves her hair alone for a while. I wish she went for a brunette instead. You are so kind to these girls.

The titanium blue looks awesome with her skin and eyes! Really pretty contrast. I totally understand her disappointment and frustration but objectively-- cool color discovery!!

Your face says it all hair budda! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hair Buddha, always here to make our Mondays magical, thank you 💚

She has a job? Her hair certainly would be worth going to the salon on a day off!😵‍💫😳Hello HB!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much. Seriously.

She should have gone to the hairdressers! Like you said, people don't research enough and then think they're professionals. There's a reason hairdressers have training!!

The green blue was fine with some bouncy waves it would look lovely and healthy .Now her hair looks like a swamp, a damaged swamp.

Another great video! I used to have bright colors and learning how to use the color wheel worked wonders for me because I was able to change the color without struggling. Thank you for making these videos!

The strange colour round 9:30 looks cute on her in a unique way. Especially with her makeup.

I loved the green on her ! 😭 Been there myself so no judgment 🤣

Another great video! Thank you for making my Monday better! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Out of all the colours I've ever had(and that's almost every colour available in directions collection + a whole lot of box dye) green, blue and turquoise have been the hardest to get rid of. Bleach has been able to remove almost all colours, even black and red, but the blue pigments in directions' toners NEVER disappeared. I bleached several times, also had pink and purple which I actually got rid of completely after two rounds of bleach a few weeks apart. The blue-green tones didn't. I tried to cover it with a darker pink and then I bleached again. Lastly I put an ash blonde box dye, but the blue-green shone through. It went away only when I finally cut my hair. I'll never use any of these colours again, which is sad because I like them.

I think she’s lucky to even have hair after all that abuse.

5:32 Hahaha you tell em, King

I'm so glad I watched This! I was considering putting a permanent blue over my bleached blonde/ grey hair so I wouldn't have to keep lightning it. My gut was telling me NO! This proved me right!

Oh dear 😢 I feel for her as she is only 16 and unfortunately doesn’t understand the technical issues she was going to face and end up with. If only she had stopped at the first bleach and stuck with the green hair for a bit. As they say we live and learn and in this case a little bit the hard way 😏. Thanks Hair budda for the great explanation and advice for this video!

Months and months of job at Barnes & Noble wouldn’t have paid for her desired color at hair dresser. And constant upkeep appointments. So young, mom can’t say anything at that age. We try and we fail. And learn from it. Much respect to you, Hair Buddha, I’ve learned so much from your videos.

Swarovski hair color remover with volume 10 developer works awesome. It got my pink, red, blue, and purple all out to a blonde base no bleach. Just had my roots!!!

Hair Buddha, Thank you so much for these helpful hints. I'm hooked on your videos, and your reactions are hilarious. Now hopefully I can take my time and color my hair the right way.

Your videos are so funny and informative Hair Buddha! I love your travel videos too 😀

When I lived in the States, I had a Sally's "frequent flyer" card LOL

The color looks really fresh there was literally almost no regrowth on her roots when she had the blue

It's crazy to think of years past and how we strived to not have gray hair to young men and woman nowadays wanting to have this color. I read a meme the other day about how youth these days are growing so old so fast and this is a prime example. When I was young like that my father never allowed me to do this to my hair, I can say I'm grateful today for him putting his foot down. I'm 45 have had a white streak since 18 and used to dye to hide it and even that look is popular today and I have it naturally. Needless to say I stopped years ago and have just let it be the way it should be and many other people should do the same thing, a lot of us have already beautiful colors and should embrace our natural selves.😊

I've been in this exact situation last year and all credit goes to you @Hair Buddha. Your videos taught me well on how to get rid of blue, dye it blonde and avoid disaster. Been growing my virgin hair since (light blonde) and honestly I couldn't be happier. Blue hair fails always remind me it was a good idea to watch the entire KZfaq and do some research instead of bleaching like crazy and ending up with £1000s left in the hair salon.

It’s sad to see this, already happened to me after bleaching I put a level 7 and turned super dark. Darker than it was before, I felt really frustrated. Maybe because the hair is very porous it takes the new color too fast.

Diar Hair Buddha, you are so kind and worm to all of this girls✨ It's so sweet 🌸 Thank you very much for your video, every time so glad to see it🙌

It takes me 3 months to decide what color imma do next Signed, Purple with prism rainbow splices

I love the blue and green! it's not even faded or grown out why is she changing it??

That dark blue looks soooo beautiful with her complexion! 💙 😍

Wooo! A new video! Sending you love from Australia 🤗🤗🤗 best channel on KZfaq!

Think these differences colours are great when they are first done, but the roots grow out so quickly and when you are fed up with colour, it must be a nightmare to cover up, unless you go black. I dyed mine purple once, not all over, but just a few small sections on short hair. It looked good for the first three to four weeks, but ended up fading to green. I ended up dying it all over dark brown

Am I the only one that thinks the end color is dope? hahaha like old school Feria Hair Color vintage teal grunge color i love it!

Boy, a lot of us have been there, eventually we all learn some hard lessons along the way! Poor girl, I feel her pain. 😢

I think it's a really pretty color, she did such a good job on it too, it doesn't look patchy or uneven in tone. I am honestly impressed! She should really be happy that she didn't go to her first day of school bald AF!! I do feel bad that she worked all those hours and saved up just for things to not turn out how she wanted them to 😢 you look beautiful girl! Regardless of weather your hair is green, blue, titanium or no hair at all! You are gorgeous! 💖💖💖

Bless her heart - this last teenager just breaks my heart completely. Heck, I'm 50 years old, and I didn't learn to keep my hands off my hair color until about 5 years ago! Take it from me - unless we've gone to colorist school or have years and years of experience behind us - we have no business expecting to be able to color our own hair and get the results we want. Trust the professionals! Would we hire a dermatologist to install a new bathtub? Would we go to an oncologist for a pedicure? Would we call a lawyer to do our landscaping? None of this makes sense. It's the same thing with our hair color.

Can you please check Erica Henry Johnston's channel? she has a video where she dies her grey hair a "temporary" rose and things go bad. Curious about your take on women who choose to let their greys grow, struggle to grow for years then accidents like this happen :-)

“I’m guessing brown is too normal for you…”. - Truer words were never spoken……

Strange comment but you have lovely hands. I tend to look at hairdresser’s hands just because I don’t want gross hands on my head. But you could cut my hair anytime. I have to say a big thank you for your pearls of wisdom. I have just managed to bleach my daughters roots with a great result. We used the Jerome Russell products 20 vol with Jplex mixed in. She treats her hair once a week with Olaplex no 3 with a no 2 after bleaching. Oh and yes. We had fine sections and didn’t put the bleach on the lengths. In fact we put hair wax at the cut off line to protect them. One thing I can’t get her to stop using is purple shampoo. Small steps though eh?

The last color looked the best.

Exactly Slow and Low Is the best way To Go 🙏❤

I love your sense of humor. ❤

Love your videos and love, love, love your beard and eyeglasses logo. It so cool!🥰

This is the funniest video I’ve ever seen on my life 😂😂😂 this was great

I've always cut and dyed my hair myself. If I want to go from my natural hair color (dark brown) to gray, I would no doubt go to a salon.

I have spent months watching videos like this. After I had my hair cut and colored by my hairdresser, I had over an inch of roots. I knew that I had to retouch it myself because of my schedule and budget. Because of your and others, I was able to go from an greenish blue to a bright ocean blue with no breakage or significant damage.

Volim tvoj kanal. Pozdrav iz Bosne i Hercegovine. 💓

I’m just glad her hair wasn’t burnt off!

You crack me up so bad 😂

I don't get why people will spend all this money to risk messing up versus converting that to a salon appointment. (Speaking as someone who has done it, over-processed, cut my hair into a pixie, grew it back out, and then went to a salon the next time.)

That Titanium will fade a lot with washings. I’ve used it.

I FEEL BAD 4 THE GIRL BUT IM LAUGHING SOOO HARD..😂😂🤣 She went DARK 💙💙💙 WOOOOOW!!!

Love how much I learn here

Awe that poor hunny, like yeah she may not have researched everything but awe, no one deserves to feel that way with their hair🥺

Wow she looks like Grimes ❤❤❤

This video makes me hurt for teenaged girls who have to live online. Literally I cried. I feel the need to do something to help them. They’re being consumed by the internet & by anxiety

I gave up being blonde because I could never decide what pastel shade to be so I just went back to brown but I feel so sorry for her. I know her frustration and how impulse can drive us to make very bad decisions, especially when you're young... so sorry for the her, poor girl 😢 Her hair still looked lovely and any colour suited her

That color is the semi-permanent.. she could probably help fade it out by using a clarifying shampoo..

Great tip! About the same brand thing yesss

I did so much BS with my hair as a Teen and Twen. Like Bright Pink, Multicolour, etc... Also one time a light grey. BUT I did my research in before AND bought a single ashy tone for toning. I think her end result wasn't that bad matching her skin tone.

I got anxiety just from the first 30 seconds. 😆 🤣

I don't understand this generation at all . They have an entire world full of knowledge with the internet and they don't use any of it why,?

It seems in general that brown, straight and even fine hair is considered one of the worst hair combinations, the most generic, the most boring, etc. It is even worse when that or other natural combinations doesn't work with your face and so on, or more so someone dyes and/or other chemical hair process that seems to get them the most compliments. Some people who are tired of the chemical processes start going for extensions, half to full blown wigs. There are some who are very fortunate to look actually better bald or with very cropped hair regardless of hair combinations. However, it very nice that (I think yours also) there are salons that are less focused on hair damaging processes but quality hairdressing and hair upkeep.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love the end result 💞

Not to mention how incredibly porous her hair would be after so much bleach. It would have sucked up that colour like a sponge.

Makes my brassies pale in comparison, but I also learned that lesson, so I’m going gray and living with it…
