So, I have my gloves.
I have two pairs of gloves on and I have my towel.
Just to protect my shirt.
I'm still expecting to get pretty messy and I have mixed my formula from Creme of Nature.
Um, once again, this color is light golden brown.
That's the one I'm starting with..I will put a link in the description box.
I have the mix.
It comes with a little conditioner pack which I don't really need for locs, but I will use
it since I'm using their product.
And then I have these little brushes for my edges.
Alright, so let's get started...
I'm gonna shake my bottle.
Oh my gosh!
I'm excited!
I haven't dyed my hair in over a year, well about a year now...maybe a little under.
I only dye my hair about once a year.
I try not to overdo it because dye can mess up your hair.
So, you know, I don't wanna do it like every few months or anything like that.
So, I'm tryna pick colors that are not too crazy, but of course I picked a crazy color.
A nice, bleeding color.
But, it looks really nice on me and one of you has voted on it (I think two of you actually).
So, we were on the same page so I am gonna do that color (both colors).
So, stay tuned and then I will show you which colors they are..alright now, I'm just tryna
make sure this is mixed up cause some of it's staying in the tube.
So, yeah, just shaking it up.
Alright...now I"m just gonna dive in.
Now, as much as I want to do this on camera, I can't really see what I'm doing.
So, I might have to switch you out if all else fails.
We'll see how this goes.
All I'm going to do is just put it all the way through my hair across the scalp and I'm
gonna do it very quickly cause I don't have all day.
So, hubby's vote was to bring the dye all the way to the scalp, so I'm excited because
I haven't done that in a really long time.
I've tended to keep my roots their natural color, but then if you think about it..
My roots will be back.
So don't worry, that color will be back.
Right now, I just want to do something a little different with my roots so that as my locs
continue to grow in, they will kind of continue to become uniform and have a more brown look.
Of course my towel is falling off.
Oops, hold on.
Let's get situated.
Now, I'm just going all through the parts and then I'm a start bringing it down the
locs.
Now, I only have one bottle of color, so I can't be all super generous until the end.
Right now, I just at least want to make sure that my roots have been touched everywhere.
And if they seem to need to be done again, we can do them again.
So, don't worry.
I'm just experimenting, so, since I'm playing guinea pig on myself, it's okay if everything
doesn't get done at once.
Plus, I wanted a multi-colored style anyway.
The main key point is that I get these roots because that's the color.
Alright, then, I'll take this next one out.
I feel like I'm moving slow.
Then, I'll take the next one out.
I took the rubberband off.
I might only get through the front of my head, man.
So far, so good, I'm just focused.
You know, if you don't dye your own hair, then, you know, you don't have to worry about
this.
This is something I definitely have been doing my entire journey.
I don't really go to hair stylists and stuff because if they mess my hair up, and I paid
for it, I'd be really upset.
Let me mess my hair up for free.
You know?
So, yeah.
Alright, so the front has some dye everywhere at least it feels like it does.
So now I'm just combing right through.
I don't see nothing happening to my hair yet.
Which could be a good thing and a bad thing.
Because you know, I don't have it all through my hair yet.
Alright, so let me put another rubber band on it.
Just to protect it and get it out my face while I go try to do some of this in the back.
Alright, let's go to the back!
Now, I'm doing this without a mirror, which is kind of how I do my hair on video.
So, I don't know how I do that, but's it's gonna work for now cause I really wanna show
you what I'm doing and I think this video would be useful in the future.
So when people start asking me what my hair color is, how I did it, they can come to these
videos and they're able to see exactly how I did it.
And that is really valuable to me even on other people's channels who actually show
you how they do their hair....so far, one bottle is doing good.
But, we're not doing the whole loc, we're just focused on the roots, so...I shouldn't
have too much issue.
Getting this across the roots.
I feel like I got most of it, in terms of the roots.
Now, I'm just gonna kinda smooth it in there.
I'll come back and touch up places that I didn't get to.
And then the inside, let's get some of them.
Good, okay.
And smooth it in...now, let's just put it up for now while I do this one last section.
And I'm gonna go back around and put the remaining dye on places on my roots where I might've
missed.
I haven't even used my brush yet.
I've got the brush over here, but so far, I've just been um, using my hands.
Ah, I think this one belongs up here.
Now, I'm doing it to have a natural, ashy brown, blonde look initially.
Then I'm gonna change it with some color anyway, but until we get there, you know, I might
wanna sit with this color for a minute, we'll see what it looks like.
I don't know how these locs be gettin' out or I don't be puttin' them in there.
Alright, stay there.
Well, mind you, I'm not doing this in the mirror...so, we're just gonna see what it
looks like.
You can see it but I can't see it.
So, hopefully I know what I'm doing back here.
You let me know.
Alright, so I've got the first round in and I don't have a big head, obviously, so, I'm
still on my one bottle.
There's still some in here and it feels like, you know, like I have enough to go around.
So now, I'm gonna just take this ponytail out and I'm gonna try to start bringing this
color down the locs so I can kind of blend it in..
I don't see nothing happening, ya'll.
So this is either gonna be a really dark brown or you know, you ain't gonna see nothing.
I really care about these top locs because you won't really see the under locs unless
it's in a ponytail anyway.
So, I'm gonna move back right here to the front..I'll be back to the back.
Do you see a change yet?
Oh, I don't know ya'll!
Do ya'll see a change?
I don't see nothing.
I don't see nuthin'.
Okay, this lighting makes me look ashy with my makeup on.
Alright, so yeah.
So was there any point in me having this time in here?
Nope, I'm just gonna take the towl off and just wear my basic t-shirt.
So right now, I'm just tryna make sure that I have product all through the roots and then
I'm gonna start going down the loc.
But I've got so much locs---so many locs rather---that doesn't make sense...I'm gonna put some in
my hands, and just kinda start bringing it down to where the black is on the locs.
There is no method to my madness anymore now, I'm kinda just randomly
going through my locs and going down the loc.
I smell alcohol, but I don't see any color.
Creme of Nature, ya'll about to be fired if this color don't come out.
Now, I didn't see anywhere that it says that you need to have dark hair or anything like
that so there's no excuses.
I know ya'll better get my color right...I guess if it's subtle, that's not a bad thing
either right?
And don't worry because we're gonna lighten this all up in the end.
I just wanted to see what the brown would look like, geesh!
But looking at this, I'm not seeing nothing!
I ain't seeing nuthing.
Okay, still nothing, my hair feels definitely like the color is all up in here but it ain't
doing nothing.
Ya'll see a change yet?
Is it just my eyes and I don't see it?
Or have I been bamboozled?
I think maybe if I put the aluminum foil on, that might help.
HONEY!
HONEY!
CAN YOU BRING ME SOME ALUMINUM FOIL?
CAN YOU BRING ME SOME ALUMINUM FOIL?
I NEED IT.
This is why it's nice to have someone in the house with you.
Alright..Still got something in the same one, so I'm just going through, and let's bring
it up.
Make sure we've got some in there.
Hmm..maybe we'll have to go in the sun to see the change?
I don't see nothin' yet.
Let me flip my head over.
Hold on.
No, I said aluminum foil.
He bought olive oil.
I don't how ya'll can't hear!
Alright, yeah..Now, I'm gonna go around this one more time.
Almost nearing the end of my one bottle.
Do it the other way...
Probably still gonna have hair dye on my face...
Voila!
Okay, so now, this has been added to my hair, I'm gonna pray that some color comes out of
this.
So, hold on..what I'm gonna do is take off this first pair of gloves that I have on..you
can't see me doing it, but now I have these on...and I'm gonna take this aluminum foil
that my hubby bought me and I'm gonna wrap my head with it.
I don't know why but I like to do this.
I think I saw some professionals do this, um it does work in terms of um making the
color more intense.
So, one second..okay, I'm just gonna take the aluminum and wrap it around my head.
Hold on..to make this easier, let's just put these in a ponytail like so..put it in a ponytail,
stretch it out, just making sure all the locs are in here.
Voila, magic!
Okay, now I may have black pieces in here still because I may not have saturated it
into the loc, but as long as my outer area is done, I'll be content with that.
I'll be good with that.
Alright, where's my rubber band?
Here.
Now, my hair can still fit in one little black rubberband, so, that just tells you how thick
my hair is NOT.
I do not have thick hair.
It actually fits me..one little baby rubberband.
See?
I don't know what's wrong with my auto right now....okay...ok, there it is.
So I'm a wrap my head with this, my camera is getting ready to die, so I'll be back...this
is how I do it. and I'm done...
