I don't have pastel hair. I dont plan on having pastel hair. Still watched the whole video just because I love seeing your face!

[@virginiamorelli9759]

Same

[@nimedhel09]

You're not the only one, lol. I don't colour my hair at all, but I still enjoy watching her videos :D

[@ailen5989]

Yes like 🌹

[@estir6972]

As a cosmetologist who often has brightly colored/ and pastel hair I can tell you that the reason using heat on your hair (whether hot water or hot tools) makes your color fade faster is because it opens up the cuticle (outer layer of your hair) resulting in the color leaving the hair shaft at a quicker rate. Cool water will keep the cuticle layer closed, thus preserving your color for the maximum amount of time :)

[@exin7778]

Esti Routhenstein True every time I spike up my Mohawk the dye runs, now I just keep it white

[@FrFrJawj]

very true,and also guy tang did a whole video showing on hair pieces how flat ironing can fade the colour. :D

[@cyntiaangelie8157]

So a stylist used hot irons on my hair the other time and said it was to close my cuticles because I chose not to trim my ends. I didn't like the excessive heat use because it was already straight.

[@misscoolgirl7166]

but who showers in cold water???

[@alskarmode]

Does using a heat protectant spray before hot tools help prevent that?

[@fireprincessfairy]

I don’t even have colored hair, but I’ve loved you for years so I just HAVE to watch every video you post- duh. this is off topic, but I remember a few (maybe several) years back you mentioned in a Q&A that you would have pink hair on your wedding day, and it just hit me that you totally did! I got all of the warm fuzzies once I realized xD love you ALB!

[@albinwonderland]

Oh my god!!! I forgot I ever said that! AHHHHH

[@augusta7714]

Hair stylist here! All of these tips are great, but one more thing you can do if you still find your color washes out easily is to wash your hair in your shower LAST. Even if you washed it with cold water, the heat from both your scalp and the rest of the shower will warm that wet hair right back up, making the follicles swell and open up so the color can leech out. Clip your hair up out of the way or use a shower cap so it doesn't even get wet until you're ready to shampoo/condition as the very last step. (This also helps preventing color mix/bleed if instead of pastel hair you have a lot of different bright colors in your hair!)

[@ailen5989]

Hello

[@484ABA]

What if I want to use a color depositing shampoo or conditioner that needs to sit in my hair while I shower? What if I put it on dry while my hair is clipped up in the shower?

[@tabatharich]

I am obsessed with the pastel winter hair! You look like a beautiful winter fairy ❄️

[@LeFreakSoChic]

My cousin (who's a hairdresser) taught that by mixing in purple food coloring in a non-transparent shampoo and conditioner can give you the same results as a store bought purple shampoo and conditioner. It's her little secret she does to maintain her blonde as she's not a fan of store bought purple shampoos. I tried this last time I went blonde and it worked for me

[@howaboutlaurenmai3126]

Well this is a pleasant surprise- I literally just dyed my hair pastel pink and was wondering how you consistently keep yours that perfect pastel tone... and then viola!!! A video for it! Does that make me clairvoyant?

[@bunnyjanie]

I found you through hair videos and I’ve been a subscriber ever since . I keep my hair tips pink sometimes . I love your white pinkish color, so pretty !

[@juanis8219]

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous this is the exact color I’ve always wanted. It even looks healthy 😩

[@crystallizedtwiligh1]

This is the video I have been craving! Thank you so much for making it! I've had pastel pink hair for 2.5 years now and the battle with brassiness seemed endless so thank you for these tips and tricks!

[@skystygian]

You were the person who inspired me to start dying my hair all those years ago when one of your first videos was out. I never could go pastel, but I had a lot of fun with all sorts of rainbow colors. Now I can’t because of my job, but I’ll have to thank you for providing such great information on dyed hair keeping. My hair would’ve fallen off otherwise.

[@dreamscape405]

I have bleached white hair and have trouble with the roots becoming yellow too quickly over time. I'm definitely trying the color conditioner infusion! Thanks for the tip! I really like the winter frosty hair look and it looks beautiful on you.

[@KellyEden]

BLESS UP

[@paranormalauraa]

Kelly Eden ya boiiiii

[@wittyandcool8186]

Kelly Eden I know right lol

[@Imawatches]

I have almost black hair and today i will try making pastel hair at home, it's probably not gonna work but I'll use these tips regardless! Thank you!

[@jasminee7855]

how it turn out? did you bleach it yourself?

[@cierra7246]

I'll always be in love with pastel hair, but I honestly don't think I'll ever get it because I know myself and I'm far too lazy and frugal to handle all the upkeep. So thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you, Alb! ♥

[@FleetingPrecision]

The thing about dyeing the hair a bright colour and then making it pastel as it fades is excellent for pink hair, but it can go really wrong with bright purple, or blue hair. The semi/demi-permanent dyes often leave a lot of green residue on the hair after they fade, making it very hard to have a good base for a pastel colour without bleaching it again.

[@krisismav]

I’ve done the wash hair in cold, wash body in hot water trick. It actually does work. When I was bright red, this really did help. And for color treated hair I used Redkin shampoo and conditioner

[@lucianathomas6370]

i found your channel when i was looking for "pastel pink hair" videos on youtube like 2 years ago and have been following you since then! biggest fan ♥

[@scrapingskies]

omg here I thought overtone was a life-changing idea that i need to save up for... it didn't occur to me that I COULD MIX DYE?? WTIH CHEAP CONDITIONER???? My life is changed. Thanks for this informative video!!

[@ala4935]

casker you can only use a direct dye but yes

[@Ayeleyeart]

Ang your camera setup for this vid is so beautiful!!! I looove whatever lens you're using💜

[@LuvLykeHunii]

If you haven't already, try the Ice Cream brand purple shampoo next time, it's conditioning as well. It's about $10 at Shoppers.

[@striyesalem5673]

Thank you for all your information on hair care over the years! I love all of your videos and asmr videos, and you’ve inspired me to color my hair pink as well. 💖💕❤️ lots of love from Texas!

[@Bimbolobotomy]

I do all of this when I want silver/ lavender hair & tbh the thing that helps the most for my hair is to over tone it and let it fade (like what you recommend for obtaining pastel hair) & then just using my color/ conditioner toner every time I wash my hair and it builds up the color and keeps it pretty & its tbh the best way to achieve this color. I'm gonna go mix a bowl now cause ur hair is making me miss mine!!!!

[@suzy8910]

A few months ago I got a detachable handheld shower head for like $20 and I just flip my head upside down to wash my hair with cold water without freezing the rest of me. They’re super easy to set up, too. Even with a normal shower head washing upside down helps minimize your contact with the cold water.

[@annebeach6630]

This is exactly how I maintained my white blonde hair. Especially the cheap conditioner and light dye tip. I'm not natural blonde for the time being as I got tired of the upkeep. Though I still occasionally do a conditioner with purple dye to get some of the yellow canceled out as my natural colour is a bit too golden to my liking.

[@Christophertracy09]

To me it looks lavender now, definitely a pinky purple. I see the cool purple tones in it, definitely. Always lovely:)

[@LouValcourt]

I have rainbow hair with 7 different colours in it so I can’t do the conditioner wash. I do wash my hair in very cold water and it protects it. I wash my hair in a He sink and take a hot bath because I hate cold showers.

[@sophiawright4337]

I'm totally using "I'm not a real doctor I just play one on tv" now

[@oldfatneckchinnie1230]

its from an old commercial. i would have never guessed shes old enough to remember it. lol

[@rianelacretia66]

Hairstylist here, and I’d have to say that you’re really on the money. Mixing your own depositing conditioner is a great way to save yourself some hassle. Also, be aware of the colors you’re using. If you like to change your hair color the two colors that are the hardest to cancel out are red and green. Any other color you can start to fade into others with refreshers, but those are deeply depositing colors. With bright/pastel colors try to keep in mind that heartless styles will save your hair’s life! I’ve seen heat completely strip out color! Pin curls, rag curls, hair wraps, and other heartless methods will help you keep your color looking great!

[@kittyGirl981]

Planning on going pink so thanks for the advice ❤️💛💚💙💜

[@RaphaelleLD]

i’m not planning on getting pastel hair but i just love watching your videos so here i am 💕 love you alb ✨

[@celestekittie]

I always wash my colored hair in cold water. I make my daughter do it too when she wants colors. Also skip out on shampoo unless you really need it. Use conditioner instead.

[@BeccaMoses]

I have the exact opposite hair color as you - so-dark-it’s-almost-black purple over naturally medium/dark brown hair without bleach - but i love this video so much and idk why

[@hawel3]

Ohwow you’re so pretty 🥺 I started dying my hair with pastels just two months ago and at times the colour is gone in two washes so I’m just trying to educate myself more. Thank you ☺️

[@ailen5989]

👌🌹

[@ala4935]

i haven't used overtone (permanent black hair forever please) but it was started by some women in my home town which is cool if you like supporting indie female owned companies. it's also cruelty free and vegan! you CAN make your own mix, but i'd encourage anyone reading this to seek cruelty free conditioner to mix with something like manic panic (also vegan and cruelty free) 😊

[@genoamiibo]

thanks for this im def. planning on making my hair a really light white or something like that. good thing i quit flat ironing my hair a few years ago lol 💞

[@pixiedustpeach]

This video is so helpful! I have really been loving the content you have been making lately 💕 you seem so happy!!

[@amberkarma1996]

This came at the perfect time! I'm totally going for pastel hair soon. ❤️

[@ailen5989]

👌🌹

[@emmahansson3396]

Great tips and production! Is there any specific reason why you don't mix the toned shampoo yourself, like the conditioner?

[@AmandaLordofDarknessCh]

You posted this vid 1 hour after I dyed my hair neon pink and dark purple. What hilarious timing!

[@evie5375]

I’ve tried overtone and it’s pretty good but it’s far easier to just mix hair dye and conditioner and with my experience it works just as well.

[@chibirealm3472]

Lovely video! ^_^ question. Could you some day explain how you style your hair? I love how cute and wavey it always seems to be. I have wavy hair but it always looks a mess and I have no idea where to even start to try to make it look nice and not flat.

[@catisuppose]

I’m a manic panic lover, I’m currently vampire red. I’m going on holiday to Crete in June and I wondered if anyone had thoughts on the best colour to go, I’d considered a pastelly lavender colour. I’ll be swimming in the sea and in the sun. Any advice welcome!!

[@radoodledoo]

1 1 pastel is probably the better opinion unfortunately sea and sand and sun (all the fun stuff!) fades coloured hair no matter what bright colour you are so good choice on switching up before your hols I mean go on hols with red hair just be prepared that it will not look it's best by the time you get back xx

[@mariagutierrez4721]

Gorgeous pink hair i Love it so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jordynirene]

I totally second your recommendation to dye your hair brighter than you want and letting it fade. I had pastel pink hair for a few months and that was the key to making it less miserable to keep up with!

[@Jessicanana89]

I lasted 4 months with pastel hair before getting tired of the upkeep. Unfortunately I have super thin hair. So even with a quarter of a centimeter of regrowth, just looked like a gross layer of dirt on my head. :( Pastel was so much fun, but I guess I can love dark colors too. Lol.

[@roseytrax]

overtone is very well worth, best thing for coloured hair

[@iggystardustt6943]

I don't have pastel hair. I just really like watching your videos.

[@tristandevereaux4867]

I let my hair grow past my shoulders which is super long for me. I'm getting ready to cut it all off and color it so this was super helpful!! :)

[@princessmaker2]

Have you tried Lush's Daddy-O shampoo? I have pure white hair, and makes my hair turn a little pinker than I would like instead of blue-based purple. I like using Clairol Shimmer Lights but find it to be suuuuper drying on my hair ):

[@ailen5989]

👌🌹

[@Misasaur]

Your cold water/ hot water shower trick is EXACTLY what I do LOL. I hate cold water.

[@CrazyCatPaigey]

ahhhh your hair is perfection *-* Thank you for the amazing tips!

[@jestjade2520]

How long do you leave the conditioner in your hair while you use the colour depositing!

[@Bokatisha1234]

I wouldn't call it "cheap" to not want to pay $20 for something that ideally would cost you like, half of that to make yourself.

[@KimmyCharise]

Love this video! I use Fanola No Yellow purple shampoo (powerful stuff). 💜 Quick question - where is your top from? 💕

[@astranoon]

“I’m not a real doctor, I just play one on TV.” I love those ads 😂💓

[@lord_of_fandoms664]

What is your opinion on special effect hair dye? is better than manic panic?

[@ellencorbett3449]

Do you use gloves when you apply the conditioner with the dye in it to refresh your pastel?

[@Catacombkittennn]

This was all very informative but dang that shirt is so good.

[@desperate4bubbles]

Tysm I was planing on getting pastel pink highlights

[@mdieguezramos]

I love your videos, love your hair and I am glad you make videos like this, but your bleached hair is almost already a great finishing product. No wonder your hair looks fantastic! I am not saying you don't work on your hair, I'm just saying that I am envious because, at least for me, it's way harder.

[@sarahv8043]

I don't have pastel hair. I'll never have pastel hair. I still clocked on this video as soon as I saw it because I love you and your videos 😊😊😊

[@softrockstarr]

Canadian who uses pastel silver Overtone occasionally here: It does a great job at maintaining your colour and smells amazing but unless they start distributing it from our side of the border, it's not worth the price and should be considered more of a treat for your hair rather than a regular treatment.

[@Petitfleur_]

Oh man the cold shower thing is the worst! I had my hair a fairly bright, but still permanent, red color for a few years & I remember the pain of washing my hair in cold water during the winter. The worst was my freshman year of uni having to shower in the communal bathrooms which were always freezing anyway 😭 I’ve always wanted to dye my hair a silvery/lilac/grey color so maybe someday I’ll have the guts to do it!

[@MomentswithMolly]

I've been able to maintain my lavender hair as I like it, but I'm always looking for new brands and ideas! Overtone just isn't worth the shipping cost.

[@g.e.5763]

What do you use to bleach your hair in the first place? I have a lot of trouble getting my hair light enough.

[@hillart6748]

Heat free styling is super hard! Any tips of avoiding the heat tool temptation?

[@charliescotts8678]

Hill ART Ik I’m so late to responding to this but hopefully someone still needs this so one of my tips for curling with no heat (I have short hair coz I’m a dude) and it works on short and long hair is to put dampened hair into little buns almost with loom bands or just small bobbins.It works better if you do it the night before tho

[@CaveWomen88]

Love your hair. Do you bleach your own roots? If so how many weeks do you wait?

[@spazzrazkid1117]

I’ve been havin a bitch of a time tryin to keep my silver hair silver, it turns yellow/brassy so fast. I may try some of your tips! Or I may just dye is a different color cause it may be a bit too high maintenance for me lmao

[@Abigaelle23]

I am not sure if you’ll see this as this video is more than a year old, but when you freshen you hair colour with the dove hair dye, do you do it on wet or dry hair?

[@Hivdghn]

You can do it on either! It may be easier to get even coverage on dry hair, but you'll use less product on wet

[@coydogbb]

your hair is a color i would describe as...chinchilla

[@ailen5989]

Hello

[@HolldollMcG]

Coming here from the ASMR channel and what a surprise to hear your "outside voice"! Lol

[@LittleLoLo7]

I love the way you talk....cutesy yet intelligent 🤓

[@savannahhocter5313]

I was told that if you have silver hair you shouldn’t use purple shampoo because it’s meant to strip out any impurities so it mistakes the silver dye as a bad contribution. It could be totally wrong but that’s what my stylist said. Thanks for these tips! :)

[@bonesfortniteblevins8186]

purple shampoo specifically doesn't strip impurities. shampoo can strip impurities, and will fade any hair dye, but adding purple or any pigment to a shampoo or conditioner will not change it's affect, other than color correction / coloring the hair itself. that being said, some brands of purple shampoo strip more / less color than others, as some shampoos in general have formulas that don't work well with colored hair / toned hair.

[@maddox9691]

I have never heard you not whispering and it was so weird but this video is super helpful thank you

[@meganzoor2]

Sorry if this is in one of your other videos but do you have any tips for heat-free styling?

[@wtv12345678]

Hot tools are bad but if you use your hairdryer on a warm almost room temperature setting is that still as damaging? Sorry to ask here but I've always been curious and maybe some of you know :')

[@shutupchaela3808]

wtv12345678 the heat is still damaging. You should try to let it air dry whenever possible or have your dryer on cool

[@wtv12345678]

Thank you! Is it not damaging on cool then?

[@tonymacaroni7020]

So if I want cloud white hair...I dye it blue first?..

[@LunarCupcake]

Thank you beauty queen 💖

[@CA-cx3pz]

Could you share what colour it Was from manic Panic?

[@Rainiepie]

Yes!! I have been waiting!! Thank you so much!!

[@april5706]

How did you curl your hair in this video? did you use hot tools? it looks great ;o

[@albinwonderland]

This is a veeeery brushed out wet-set pincurl!

[@FknNefFy]

How do you keep your skin pastel purple too???🧐

[@alicat9791]

It sucks that hot tools take out color because my hair always looks terrible and is always super tangly if I let it air dry 😩

[@MusclesandBooks]

I finally had to give up on pastel hair - the bleaching process was too harsh on my very dark hair and as a triathlete the pool just kept stripping it too quickly (not to mention increased the damage from bleaching.) Also, is it me or is the color on the video off? You (including your face) look purple!

[@andromedaborealis]

[@carik8170]

“im not a real doctor, i just play one on tv” wHO ELSE CAUGHT THAT REFERENCE

[@Queenkirlia]

totally off topic, but what lip color is that? (Also, I wouldn't think the word you should use is 'thrifty'... that sounds too sketchy-- think "frugal" 😊)

[@miimsouyeu]

[@sinlobo84]

It's ok if you change the color for the winter, it's ok if you change it no matter what It's your hair! 😃

[@olawie4968]

I know this isn't even close to the topic of the video but girl, where did you get this sweet pusheen t-shirt?

[@atorreserica]

Love ya!

[@julescollins521]

AH ANG! YOU'RE SO CUTE AND THIS IS SO INFORMING!

[@DawnlessSkys]

the reason why hot tools fade color faster is that heat breaks the hydrogen bonds in your hair and opens the cuticle so when you have a semi permanent color which sits on the outside of the hair shaft it disperses and breaks down the color sitting there causing it to fade

[@AnimeGalxoxo]

Ya know, you remind me of Elle (Reese Witherspoon) from Legally Blonde (Love that move)

[@Pieandpunch7]

💚

[@Charginasaur]

The word you were looking for is frugal. Great video though, thank you!
