[@BlinkyTheSpaceCadet]

As anyone who had a mom like Alex, it's normal to go nuts and try EVERYTHING the moment you give yourself permission to try out colouring your hair. It's not a cry for help - it's experimentation. And it's fun, because hair grows. Glad you had fun with it Alex.

[@752bamababe]

My thoughts exactly. I am in the same boat as she is and currently have black hair. My mom makes sure to tell me every time she sees me that I need to go back to my natural red and that she hates the black.

[@BlinkyTheSpaceCadet]

Alex, what you said about always having your hair please someone else hit me hard. I was born with hair the same shade as yours & as a pudgy kid, the only compliments I ever got were about my hair. I’ve lost all my hair 3 times due to chemo & that’s all anyone wanted to talk about ‘oh your poor hair’. Yesterday I spontaneously cut 4 inches off, down to chin length. It felt great. Looks mediocre. Don’t give a rat’s fuzzy.💪

[@dees3179]

I lost my hair in the same way. No one would even talk about it. More interested in mortality etc. but for me it was far more traumatic losing my hair than surgery or radiotherapy or hormone therapy etc. still not over it six years later.

[@lisaSN]

@@dees3179 I understand, the first time was rough. I also cried more over that than anything else that happened. You can’t really explain it to people who haven’t been there either. Much love

I’m going thru chemo too. Had my past shoulder blades Auburn shaved off. It’s growing out, and I never thought I’d love it at 1/4”. Do I care? No. Wigs are fun too. Im sorry about your bullying. We can be so cruel. Mine was weight and also nerdy/weird bullying.

[@nixieuwu5743]

[@rab4423]

Henna is great but if you want to bleach your hair after it is very tricky since it can turn green (as much as a year after last henna I think because it stays in the hair for a very long time) it will react with the bleach :)

[@MarisMagic]

As someone who has spent over a year trying to dye my hair a naturalish red/copper, I will say there aren’t many options in semipermanent color. Good Dye Young has a copper shade that is really lovely and surprisingly, so does Kiss (Cajun red I believe, much darker but could be diluted)

[@heyalicialouise]

Love Cajun Spice. NAKs colour masque in peach is also a pretty ginger colour.

[@kaitlanmclean8336]

I would like to suggest to you like l told Alex to use Lush red henna as it’s more permanent

[@eevesjunkyard]

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I relate to the first 3.5 minutes of this on such a personal (but also very different) level. I’m going to preface this by saying absolutely no hate what so ever towards your mom, and love that you two can talk about these sorts of things. This just hits home on a personal, but angry level. This is in no way directed at your mom, just a bit of a rant that the beginning of the video brought up. As someone who has frequently bleached and/or dyed my hair for the last 12 years, hearing someone be pestered over their hair bothers me so much and makes me irrationally mad. My grandmother CONSTANTLY annoys me by giving back handed compliments or outright saying she would prefer me at my natural hair color. Her most used phrase is “oh, your hair looks nice like *insert color/ style here* but would look much better if it was your natural color”. One time I braided both mine and my sisters hair. For context, sister has very long hair and was her natural color at the time, mine was just passed my shoulders and blonde. Both natural dark brunettes. My grandmother actually gave me this backhanded compliment in front of my dad, “oh.. I like how you braided yours and your sisters hair.. hers turned out really nice and frames her face well. I’m sure yours will look better once it’s grown out.” My dad was shocked and I told him that kind of thing was normal from her so I usually just ignore it because I don’t feel like arguing. And to be completely honest, she is one of the main reasons I haven’t gone back to natural in literally years. I know it’s just a difference of generations so opinions on that sort of thing are going to be very different, but it’s my hair, my body, and my choice what I do to it. Being pestered about it constantly doesn’t make me want to change my hair back, makes me just angry. She was the same way with my dad when he was growing up, he was very 80’s punk so all the crazy colors as a teenager. It’s just frustrating when others think their opinion of your appearance should mean more than how you personally feel about it. Just let people have fun with their appearance and play around with it for a while.

[@Jam_Blaster]

It’s CONTROL. I was feeling uneasy in the video as well at that part because I have experienced the same attitudes and pestering about my own hair from SOs and family members…including my mom (the worst offender). Unsolicited backhanded compliments galore. I love my mom and she is a good person. But this is absolutely controlling behavior. And the worst kind in my opinion because it is trying to control someone else’s identity and how they want to present themselves to the world. Whether it’s hair, clothing, weight, etc…it’s all rooted in control. I recently went back to my natural color after decades of dying it all different colors. I only did it because I wanted it that way for my wedding, not because I was giving into pressure. It’s funny, because now I get zero compliments…including the backhanded kind. No body really cares about my hair, they just wanted me to look the way they think I should look. Long story short, I’m going violet the next time I dye and I can’t wait!

[@evinnra2779]

Once you grow up, you will realize that nobody cares about your hair more than you do. What makes you a grown up is when you realise you simply projecting on others from an innate sense of insecurity that they are busy judging you. You are judging your self and at the same time anxiously looking for confirmation from others to hint that you are rebellious, different or wrong in one way or another. Just accept your self for who you are, miraculously you will find that fewer and fewer people in your circles make it their business to comment on you.

[@pallasitematrix1614]

@@evinnra2779 I don't think that's true: I have family that cares very deeply about how younger members of the family present themselves. This wasn't rooted in younger members of the family being insecure... this was rooted in how the older members of the family thought others would perceive the family as a whole, if the younger generation had less traditional looks. The comments stopped not when myself, or any of my siblings accepted ourselves as who we are... but when the adults realized 1. they had lost the ability to control how we looked, or 2. that level of control was costing them the relationship. (This isn't based on my own perceptions, either. This is what older family members have told me about when we've had conversations about this very thing.)

[@Spookdog]

I have red hair and also have strict parents. they didn't like any of my older sisters dying their hair but were ESPECIALLY strict with me, being a natural ginger and also the youngest sibling. I've lowkey wanted black hair for so long but couldn't bring myself to "ruin" my hair because it was the one thing that got me compliments :/ fortunately my bf is very supportive of me wanting to dye/cut my hair someday, even though he loves my natural hair! it's really the bare minimum but it's SUCH a relief living with someone who will care about you no matter how you look and will support you doing whatever makes you happy. ...I still haven't dyed my hair yet, but I definitely want to someday :)

[@Absinthiiii]

@@Spookdog Use a black wig for a while, and see how it suits you or it doesn't without possibility to want to dye it back the next day.

[@simelly_6813]

The tangerine orange is what made your hair turn a super bright orange. Mixing copper with a dark blonde or a light brown hair dye would have been better I think. That being said, I actually really like the bright orange. It’s like a last bit of fun before going back to natural :)

[@DaemonInWhite]

As someone who goes for about 9-10 hours of sleep if not woken by alarms, I have no idea how you function on so little sleep Alex! The hair looks great on you, but every time you mention how much your mum pushes your hair colour, my heart goes out to you. The Pauline Hanson jokes made me cackle.

[@xSmileUpAStormx]

Yey, for once I can be useful! When it comes to semi-permanent, Adore has the most natural copper tones and I always add a little bit of green or blue hairdye to neutralise the intensity. :) You can also go for the Shades EQ from Redken (the 07C Curry is a bit intense at first but fades to the most natural copper hairdye I've ever had and I think that you could mix it with the 08WG to achieve your natural colour). It's a demi-permanent so it won't lift your roots but it will last longer than semi-permanent, and it's also a gloss that has an acidic base so it adds a lot of shine! And finally, the best way to have a natural colour after bleaching the hell out of your hair is to pre-pigment it to give it back some depth, there a tone of good videos on the subject. Good luck!

Missed you Alex and Dan! Love your hair pushed back with volume on top. Can’t wait for the wigs. I have a short bob with an undercut, I have red on top, a layer of bright colour and undercut another colour. I have it dyed every 6 weeks and haven’t a clue what colours I will be as my hairdresser surprises me. Perhaps when hair is a bob and at the healthy stage you could have pastel pink underneath, keeps mum happy as red on top and you happy as you see the flash of colour. I’m 51 and my mum is 74, she hates my hair if I wear it up but my hubby couldn’t care less as long as I’m happy 😊 sorry such an essay 😂 much love from the uk 🇬🇧 x

Alex you look AMAZING with short hair! I would suggest if you want that natural shade of red to try ion (or any brand you can find that does a lot of natural hair colours) I dyed my hair ginger last year and I tried using semi permanent colours at first but I soon realized I needed a lot more brown tones to achieve the right colour and the best way to do that is to go for a brand that does natural colours and I would ideally use a demi permanent or a permanent colour with a VERY low developer (10 volumes max) to avoid damage since I know you're trying to grow your hair and maintain health. Hope this helps!

[@SheHuntsZombies]

As someone who has been on the same journey but a few years ahead, here is my experience and thoughts... 1. Playing with semi permanent is the way to go, and I would caution against permanent, if you feel you must.. try demi permanent and 10v developer as it's not going to lift and be as damaging. Demi is deposit only, and keeping your volume of developer low means less amount of damage, specially when only trying to deposit hair colour. 2. Don't bleach it again when you get it to a bob, if you put in the work to grow it to a bob and it feels so soft the moment you bleach it, you will regret it even if you get it a pink, that is at least how I felt. You can def work on the damage and it does feel softer, but you'll never get that hard work back unless you cut it off.. 3. As a natural redhead who is very similar in tone as an adult, try mixing in a bit of yellow to your reds/orange concoctions. Our skin tones can weirdly handle it and compliments it. (very small amount don't go ham) 4. Anything Tangerine is going to be quite lovely, and just the smallest dash of a bright red and tiny amount of yellow might get you very close to your natural. 5. Let this colour wash out as much as possible and try a nice pastel pink over some of the lighter washed out colour you have now, you'll get a cute strawberry blonde if you get it to a blondish, or if you go too hard it can go coral which is a vibe too. 6. Lastly you do what you want, and these are all just from my road to recovery and growing my hair back out after years of fun (and damage).

Firstly, love the color! Secondly, I know An old remedy to achieve lighter shade of red closer to what you want. Take some pure squeezed lemon juice and run it through the hair. And for about 30 or 15 minutes have hair be in direct sunlight. This is a process so may take a couple of days to see results.

Yeah I've been wanting orangy brown/auburn hair for so long but my hair is dark brown, so it wouldn't work without bleaching and there's no way I'm doing that. blondes/ light haired gingers are kinda lucky in that regard.

[@katthevampire942]

I’ve gone from Auburn to Red red through the decades. My favorite shade was a professional level 8 a copper blonde. Perfect. Right now it’s heavy salt and pepper growing out from chemo. Once it hits an inch or two, they’re going purple! Then eventually back to red I think. Just have fun be with it. And wigs are fun too!

[@Bat_Fiend.]

Olaplex won't necessarily make your hair look better , what it actually does is helping it rebuild from the inside. That's why you might not notice a huge difference but it is making a difference in the hair bonds that were broken from bleaching/dying.

[@Sunsetjeb]

True!! The awful texture will remain after olaplex, not because your hair is still damaged, but because you completely destroyed the natural oils of your hair (human hair reacts to oil like a sponge, they actually used it to help clean up the US oil spill). A good conditioner, hair oil, and other leave in hair cream, or a combination is usually the best way to rebalance your hairs natural oil content.

It looks soo good!! :D I have coloured my hair red/copper for 5 years now, with permanent colours. In my experience it fades to a more natual colour after some washes. Colours in the shade 7.40, or there about is really nice, I think ^^ I have tried the following dyes; L'ORÉAL PARIS Recital Feria 7.46 Very Intense Copper SCHWARZKOPF Brillance in a copper shade (can't remember the actual colour). GARNIER Olia 7.40 Intense Copper

[@sarahlittell448]

Your hair length....girl...this is the perfect length to try the classic 2000s emo, punk combo for a week....that let's be honest we were all fascinated with. Also btw hair styling: try out some Annette Benning vibes

[@mmisskriss1590]

I'm excited for the wig content 🤩 I think wigs are so fun, omg, I can't wait to see all the fun styles and colors

[@charlissaberry2391]

By far my favorite hair color on you! Love this on you so much!

[@jennifercartwright2866]

Hi Alex, I remember when I started my hair dying journey I dyed my hair with L’Oréal casting creme gloss in the colour 645 amber and it looks like how your hair was in the photo of your wedding, by the way your hair looks amazing

[@9melissal]

Adore has a lot of red and gingery shades that look pretty natural and they're ridiculously cheap in the US at least.

[@katelynelms3062]

Dangling earrings and short hair are the best combo 😍😍😍

[@jamiealexander2482]

Glad to see you again!!! ☺👍

[@kaitlanmclean8336]

Love the red despite the consistency of it coming out the tube lol I would recommend for a natural red 2 things. Lush red Henna as it’s more on the permanent side and also a company called The Shade as they have a nice array of natural colour selections and also you can also customise your colour if you want a natural closer two tone look. Both l tried ages ago and got nice compliments on it. Also l love your short hair now as it does really seem to suit you as well as your long hair. Looking forward to your upcoming wig content. Also a question would using or diluting the colour remover tone down it to a more less saturated red? Hair Science! Also I’ve heard good things bout Manic Panic and also using Artic fox which you said you have already mix some red/orange with a brown dye and test strand it maybe?

If/when you're hoping to go back to your natural shade, look for "auburn" - one of the various auburn shades should be close to your natural hair colour. :) I think your hair journey has been good. I went from dark blonde to red through most of my early 20s, and went from dark blonde to rose gold in my mid-30s (in a professional firm, too - no one cares), so I think everyone should take a hair journey if they want to without worrying about what anyone else thinks. It's your hair, it grows back, go crazy.

[@meinkanta]

I knew they’d be too red and too bright 😂 I really think Alex needs something closer to a brown

[@naomibarger5221]

I love it just the way it turned out!! It’s amazing on you, you rock it!!!

[@Ashleighboukre1598]

Yay! You’re back! 🥰

[@e_m_m_a_0122]

I'm happy enough with this colour! "Oh great, she's done, it's been fun" *video is only half over* Oh no, oh no, oh nonononono 😂😂 Disclaimer!! This is a joke, alex can do whatever she wants and I'm just happy with content

[@PennonsFall]

I've always been nervous to try short hair so very much enjoying the journey. The color turned out quite pretty. I went blond and lavender once and it just fried it. But I miss it anyway . . .🤣

[@qienna6677]

That is so gorgeous and vibrant!

[@olganalon990]

That colour is LITERALLY STUNNING on you 😍

[@randomaccessmemories8912]

I’m literally in the same boat Alex! I bleached my red hair for the first time at the start of quarantine and i enjoyed my blonde hair for a while but have been trying to dye it back as close to my natural as i can and haven’t been successful (even at the salon, they don’t know what “natural” red hair is) I haven’t tried it yet, but my next venture is to try a light caramel brown and a light auburn color. I definitely think you need to mix a light brown with a copper or auburn color with your next mixture!

[@GraceKT]

The Garnier Olia range has a few reddish options: copper, rose gold and a more bold red. I always use their products and i've never been disappointed!

[@jaimemccoy6909]

no cap. theyre marriage goals and im so happy they share some of those sweet moments with us.

[@victoriawoods3354]

I'm in love with the hair cut and colour!

[@StarLine317]

Personally, I'd go 2 parts Tangerine Twist, 1 part Aztec, and a half-serving of a light brown (warm undertones) of the same brand if you're going for natural color. I think that'll mix well...and I do color-correct work as part of my job

[@misspopcoin2204]

Hair dying is low-key an addiction

[@janarpilv]

Yeah

[@pikalevy107]

I love the end color and I’m OBSESSED with your styling you had at the reveal 😍😍😍😍😍 Very 20s hair glam and Hollywood class!

[@Lunarj]

This color is GORGEOUS on you!

[@TheShyannejo2004]

Just a note: please NEVER mix any hair dye with metal utensils. Also, wouldn’t have mixed it with conditioner but excited to see how this turns out!

[@Inkavonmon2]

When you first put the hair color on your head, I already knew I was going to love it 🥰 it suits you so well Alex! ❤️ at the 12:43 mark, the way you have your hair pushed off to the side looks so amazing!!! You pull this cut off very well!

[@dayknight]

OMG I needed this, I haven't even watched yet. Just need something to take my mind off the world.
