[@Marci82]

"B*tch you can" 😂 I love you ☺️

[@Kat-tr2ig]

I'm a very pale white and decided to go ice blonde. I looked sick (think Victorian street urchin fading away from consumption sick). Unless I wore A LOT of makeup, my face was completely washed out. I agree, anyone can be blonde, but you need to find the correct tone that matches the shade and undertones of your skin.

[@porscheamartin]

I’m starting cosmetology school in a couple of weeks and learning color is what I’m most excited about. I’m black and I do my own hair. I find that most black salons don’t really focus on cut and color which are essential for an overall style. They know how to pixie really well, but that bumped bob is played. We need some versatility in the community outside of wigs and weaves.

[@BrittneyGray]

Agreed and I think that now hair education is no longer being gatekept (is that a word? Probably not 🤣) so more black stylists are getting into current hair cut and color trends and techniques and I’m so happy about it.

[@Vasilia4]

Ugh I'm so sick of seeing that outdated blunt feathered bob. They also don't know how to cut curly hair in a nice coupe. Whenever I get curly crochet or boho braids they have no clue how to cut it in layers

[@blueyes106]

I felt you on going to white salons for the color and telling them you got the rest 😂 as a biracial woman myself

[@eamcbmsc]

I think another reason why it wasn’t as popular in black salons is because clients should only have one of the major chemicals treatments (ie relaxer/perm or bleach). A lot of black women decided on a texture treatment so hairstylists focused on that. 15 years ago when I had a relaxer, I was strongly advised against bleach. I did know someone at the time that had bleach and a relaxer and it killed her hair. Not saying this was everyone’s experience.

[@Sunflowers_220]

Yes! For instance Beyonce is natural because she is blond. We often have to choose either or. Now many black women learned how to do their hair in a proper way(without damage) because we really didn't get how to treat natural hair in a way it stayed healthy unless it was in braids 24/7. And because of that, I think more black women even if they wear it straight most of the time, (I am one of them) are lowkey natural and we have inches we never had relaxed. So crazy. Never thought hair color was an option for me.

[@franv4153]

I stopped relaxing when I started to get grays scared like you said that it be too much

[@shadowstarspammy]

I’m not black nor blonde but I watch every single vid 😂🩷

[@gretahudson8558]

Speaking of blondes, I would like to view your thoughts on Beyonce’s Cecred haircare line. She spoke about how she chooses bleach over other chemical services and maintains the health of her hair with this line. I think that is another reason why a lot of black women didn’t try blonde colors because they were relaxed, and it was either one or the other. A lot of women are natural nowadays so they can try more color options. And although ultimately people must try things for themselves to see how it works for them, I would like to view your thoughts on other celebrity lines from a stylist point of view.

[@AboutBritney]

I bleached my hair when it was natural and it damaged my hair by making it straighter, almost like I had gotten a texturizer. Not sure if it was because my hair is fine or a bad dye job.

[@gretahudson8558]

@@AboutBritney It’s possible. I know that some fine textures are made up of only 2 layers instead of 3. And it could be the level of the developer used. In this video she mentioned she only use 20 volume developer for bleaching. Which makes a lot of sense because you don’t want to blow out your strand in one session. (By the way I like her cooking analogy). A lot of people will reach for a higher volume thinking they can lift to blonde in one session but it depends on what level you are and how light you want to go, whether you have previously dyed hair, etc. Black and dark brown hair will sometimes need more than one bleach session depending on how light they want to go because hair will lift to an orange color first. I just think it’s interesting to see if all of these new patent products that are now on the market really work at strengthening and preventing further damage and breakage.

[@555funtimes]

I have been watching for years! Since you were riding your bike around everywhere. So happy I found you!

[@peytonweb]

I agree, there are SO many darker skin tones that look gorgeous with blonde...either highlights or all-over color. But yes, I see way too many Caucasians with the type of fair skin that looks good ONLY with a very few CERTAIN tones of blonde. Certain pale women (& men) look sooo washed out & just plain strange with platinum or ashe blonde. Same with some browns, ie: a family joke was just how HORRIBLE my g-father looked in a brown suit, because of his brownish skin tone & hair, NO color of brown/tan suit looked good on him. My g-father was so cruel to my mom, that when he died, she hallucinated at his funeral, asking g-ma, "WHY did they put him in that BROWN SUIT?!?". The funeral home DID NOT in fact, put him in a brown suit...🤯

[@arianalovelace1133]

Light blonde and platinum hair looks the best on blue eyed pale skinned white people. My mum is white she’s pale she has pale skin and bright blue eyes and platinum white hair it’s her natural colour

[@shanethedirector]

Love these vids Brittney ! I’m a Black blonde lifer myself

[@TheonlyKirindaMarie]

I work at Sally’s beauty and idk when I discovered your videos. I watched your videos and there’s one you did on an Indian client I believe and I remember you saying you got her hair really light over a year and I tell EVERYONE that advice. When I decided to go blonde it will be over time.

[@Veronica-bc6pp]

Can you do a haircare routine for babies or kids

[@Lua_]

Thank you so much for the tip on 11:22 I have had my hair bleached for years and many hairdressers literally made my hair fall because they used a 40 developer always for root touchups, I changed to a new hair dresser a couple years ago and he only uses 20 developer and I stay the entire day at the salon, but hey! now my hair is pretty healthy and doesn't fall off I think more hairdressers should know this, or at least warn the clients about the danger of using a strong developer.

[@yonnaxoxo13]

Yesssssss I want the color that’s in Rachel trues hair she has like this ash blonde color with low lights I’m comming to you as soon as I’m at shoulder length. I think I literally manifested some thing because this video popped up and I miss watching your channel. I’m an oldie, but goodie. Thanks for posting this. love the intro love me some Mariah Carey butterfly era

[@sarahlopez8513]

I would love to come to your salon and get my hair done! I trust your eye with color theory 😊❤

[@raliciakeyz7590]

Video idea: Can you discuss the difference between bond treatments and protein treatments, when to use(signs to look for) both in a standard routine, differences for various people like natural, relaxed, color-treated etc.

[@rhaenyraitargaryen6360]

Agree on the non-black poc talk about people wanting to go blonde but too worried that they're too dark to do it. I'm Filipino, and I was always fascinated with dimensional blonde hair like Beyoncé or Mariah and I found the perfect hairstylist for me who did sunkissed highlights that weren't too bright, but just enough to make my hair actually look blonde against my darker skin tone. It's so important for people with deeper skin colors to have some sort of dimension and depth to the blondes we sport because it really compliments the different undertones of our skin.

[@hopemcgettigan2948]

Yes let's do it ❤❤❤❤

[@Fatouma_issa]

Sad that you didn’t include any pictures! Idk what 9G is Lol but I agree with you on the deep conditioning part, I don’t have blonde hair yet i may but I have gray hair and I get done dark brown retouch! And I don’t what conditioner is! I only buy a hair masks 💙💙💙

[@IamCynDoll]

I love you!!😂😂😂

[@KristinaM624]

I’m Spanish and white and my hair is actually dirty blonde but I hate it! I like mine, the black as you can get it! That’s why I color it jet black. It just looks better with my skin and my hazel eyes.

[@BriteBlaze]

I loved the RHONJ content!.. sad you wont be doing it any longer, but i get it!

[@BrittneyGray]

[@user-ok8jm1oq5q]

Greetings from Atlanta 🎉 We are the HAIR MECCA for sure!

[@DashaTheDivineDivah]

I'm glad you are doing this because I'm tired of seeing every black chick in a 613.... that does look good on everyone! But there is a shade for everyone After much research I just went blonde my self and after i did 3 (20 vol BlondeME bleach and developer) processes I got it to a level 7/8 but super golden and I hated it. Didn't like the stark contrast against my golden caramel skin ... then I let it rest for a week and did a generic Sally Redken 9v/9nb gloss which became a muted honey blonde and I get so many looks and compliments... it's possible ladies just figure out what toner or gloss to use after the bleach! You got this

[@lydiathompson8618]

[@Vasilia4]

*I am a black girl and my colour season is bright winter. It seems that there are just no lighter hair options for us 😢 (unless we go for an unnatural colour like purple or platinum blonde). Neither brown nor blonde look right. Ashy blonde is too dull and lacks contrast. It's easier for warm-toned girls because they look great with honey blonde or caramel hair*

[@afrocurly_Selena]

Ive always struggled to do d.i.y colour it always ends up a hot mess then I have to go back to jet black🙄 I always wanted highlights like Mel B Spice girls 90s circa😂 with light brown with a few blonde pieces at the front..But... I never felt brave enough to go into a salon to get it done🙈 BTW I don't mind the housewives reviews..I'm a junkie too😂 the HW of saltwater city is my new fav...jen Shah going to prison and Heather's black eye was wild😮🤎

[@Rosannasfriend]

It’s been a while since I’ve seen your channel. I had a hard time recognizing you from the thumbnail. Then I was like “why is this white chick talking about black hair?“ Then I looked at the name again and I was like oh!

[@stacymitchell4829]

Yeah I was about to say Anne Hathaway needs an icy blonde, its just had fir those with dark hair to safely achieve a blonde cool enough without severe damage.

[@MsStarryNights]

So this is interesting.. I’m a black woman in my late 30s and I definitely wore my hair in your exact highlighted color back in 04 😂. I went to a salon and a black woman highlighted my hair. I loved it! But now that I think about it, none of my peers wore their hair like that. I never noticed that till now. So I guess maybe I was way ahead of my time? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@BrittneyGray]

Yes black women definitely wore their hair blonde before now. I’m saying that it wasn’t as common in respect to current techniques etc. All I’ve ever been to was black salons and you didn’t really see most clientele coming in for highlights the way that you do at other salons.

[@cupcakesroar5828]

What deep conditioner would you recommend?

[@rhondadenis3469]

I would love to see the home improvement videos, but I didn’t get notified.

[@jdbailey442]

I have been going to Black stylists who have a multicultural clientele since my late teens. I am now 47. Because relaxers were popular for so along many of us had to pick either relaxer or color. I was able to relax and color when I was younger because my stylist was a Master Colorist, she only relaxed me 3-4 times a year, and she only used Affirm Fiberguard. My hair was auburn, copper, light brown with blonde highlights and I had no breakage.

[@alisuhhh]

I love a golden blonde too. The ultimate golden blonde girlie for me is Mariah no contest!! 💛🦋

[@ChloeDeBre]

I’m a 45 year old woman and when I grew up in the Midwest all the teenagers wanted BLONDE hair and so we got highlights. Mary J Blige and Faith Evans amongst others all had blonde hair in the 1990’s which we tried to immulate. My grandmother bleached her hair in the 70’s. You’re right about ash blonde being newer for us but we all tried to achieve blonde in some way. I get what you’re saying overall though. ❤ Thanks for the tips about how to care for our hair.

[@Duney231]

How do you combat the split ends and breakage keeping the hair straight with highlights? I find my hair gets so many split ends

[@RegalCandy]

Yep I knew nothing about colorism until I became an adult. Not saying it not real, I was just sheltered.

[@CrownAndBloomExoticHair]

12:00 SAME!

[@tacthom]

Can you talk about the K18 product...I've been subbing that for deep conditioner.

[@visiontolegacy.]

I kinda wish u’d have demonstrated examples with darken skin that I saw on Thumbnail, I always love ur video because u different and don’t forget u have international audience 😂 sometimes we don’t really get the expression (ie golden blonde), illustrations will be more digestible ❤ u

[@shyb7847]

My baby sis is blonde again. She can literally pull of every ton.

[@metalkingtohorses]

i went to a white salon, im white, but i have some strange wirey corse super frizzy hair but 5 volume goes blond in 2 seconds,i had a consult and told the girl this and asked her what her stratagy was gnna be and she immediately wanted to go with 40 vollume, i left and never went back, i said my hair will burn off if you use above 10 v on me, also white salons can never blow me out they just cant understand what happens to MY HAIR, I HAVE TO BLOW IT STRAIGHT IN A BRUSH FROM WET THEN HOT IRON IT

[@rosieusa]

I always called the color 613 "black girl blonde" because I see so many 613 wigs and weaves on black celebs and other black women.

[@lauraortega8464]

I agree with what you're saying about colorism, and I thought it was a small minority that thought like that, too. Then, you realize everybody thinks that way.

[@MellyB658]

I think because a lot of us went natural, our hair can handle high lift colors and we are more open to experimenting. One of the reasons why I went natural a decade ago is because my stylist told me that I had to choose between color and relaxers, and relaxers were phasing out at that point anyway

[@tatymac21]

I thought coarse hair is stronger and can withstand the bleach processing instead of fine hair? Or it’s rough on every hair type?

[@AboutBritney]

No, just because someone has coily hair doesn't mean it's coarse. My hair is coily and fine, even though u can't tell by just looking at it.

[@smgdley]

Aww damn. I enjoyed the RH videos! Sorry I don’t pipe up when I’m enjoying lol. Guess you hear more from the complainers. Wouldn’t need a separate channel. Oh well. Everyone’s different.

[@plee6223]

Black salons were not doing color, because relaxers were more popular. You can’t bleach and relax your hair. The current “natural hair movement” makes color a safer option.

[@alisuhhh]

Am I a black or brown girl? No. Am I going to watch until the end? Yes 💝💝💝

[@c0deinebrxt]

As a darker bw im not afraid to go any shade of blonde, I get called whitewashed constantly anyways so why not😂

[@arianalovelace1133]

Go for the darker brown and Carmel tones lighter blonde (yellow or white does not suit darker skin tones I’m mixed so I’m light and the lightest I would go is a caramel like the lady in the video warm tones suit brown skin better than the lighter tones

[@ashleysalazar2012]

It all depends on the undertones and finding the color that suits you.

[@peacheslenoir6862]

I think black salons didn’t do colour because people chose to relax and most people can’t do both

[@tmcdgreen]

Paused the video to say - Ariana probably used her blond tone to match the classic look for her character, Glinda in Wicked. In production photos for the play she definitely looks better, and in harmony with the coloring of the set and Elphaba (Cynthia Ervio), who looks more yellow in her green makeup (likely due to her dark skin tone underneath) than the more blue-green that Idina wore as part of the original casting. Perhaps under the stage lights or with her stage makeup Ariana looks better with the warmer tone blonde. However, seeing her in 'everyday' photos - the blonde shade is a straight NOPE. She's had other blond colors before in only her ponytail over the years that I think suit her better.

[@arianalovelace1133]

Light blonde hair looks better on blue eyed pale skinned people - Ariana grande is Italian which dark brown eyes it’s washed her out she looks pale - she looks better with darker hair

[@tmcdgreen]

@@arianalovelace1133 Agreed, and I think the further away the blond is from her face the better, which is why the blond in her ponytail has worked in its different variations over the years. Full-on blond isn't working at all, but it's the character she's playing.

[@lucianaromulus1408]

I feel like anyone of any Race and coloring can go blonde or any color as long as you find the right shade/undertone for you. Also as a fully White gal with natural curls, i had to go to Black ladies to get my hair done because my people forgot how to deal with curls...even though 12% of us havs curly hair lol

[@arianalovelace1133]

Your hair colour should match your skin tone - the lady in the videos colour is perfect for her skin tone - I think anyone with more brown and darker brown skin suit darker brown perhaps a darker shade of caramel

We even used special soaps to get it even lighter ♥its a part of our dna and culture ! i like the look let´s just say it like that hahahah ♥ you girls looks so nice with the blond and dark tones ♥

[@bren7067]

You didn't see Balayage in Black salons because Black people tend to not follow the same hair trends as white salons. Not seeing hair color like that must be a regional thing because Black women been getting honey blonde and caramel hair colors for years. Let's not forget about the platinum blonde pixie cuts with the marcel curls from the 90s.

[@c0deinebrxt]

darker skinned bw go blondeee😍 stop being scary

[@arianalovelace1133]

I think that we should leave the blonde hair to the blue eyed pale skin girls it looks better on them it’s natural - Carmel and different shades of brown suits brown people - your hair matches your skin tone but light blonde looks stupid on brown - I have a white pale friend with bright blue eyes and long straight blonde hair it looks perfect on her it matches her skin tone. Also bleaching your hair will damage it

[@zarario4444]
