How to Make Pastel Hair Last Longer | 5 Tips + DIY Color Conditioner

[@TxCrudeHauler]

As a colorist for 25+ years, I would suggest you put the color in a shampoo not the conditioner. The conditioner is designed to close down the cuticle of the hair meaning the color you add will just sit on the hair. On the other hand, with any shampoo out there, the products will actually cause the hair to swell a little bit and open the cuticle, allowing that color to actually penetrate the hair shaft just a little bit. So shampoo once with regular shampoo, then do a second one with the colored shampoo and leave on 5 min. rinse and then condition to close down the cuticle. You should find better results using this method.

[@JessTester]

That makes sense. I wonder why so many companies make colored daily conditioners and only a few make shampoos! I’ll definitely give that a try though; thanks for the tip!

[@sitnspin1819]

Thank you for your comment, Tx! I'm seriously considering going pastel pink and I'm looking at how to make these colours last as long as possible.

[@Supercocono6]

Thats interesting because I’ve tried making shampoos with strong pink in and it’s always washed out the dye already in my hair and not deposited anything but if I put a tiny bit of pink in my conditioner and leave it like a mask and rinse out I can see the difference. Am I doing something wrong? Is it because I’m using semi permanent dye?

[@Daiyvi]

I actually need to disagree the shampoo will 100% wash out what you already have and wont deposit any color. Besides shampoo opening up the cuticle shampoos main purpose is to get rid of oil and dirt thats what the surfactants in it do so it will also just wash out any color. I Just tried it last week ago and I basically turned back blonde. It works with Conditioner though! Thats what I did to get my pink back ^^

[@artsyfartsystuff4277]

but that is exactly why we like using conditioner lol. We want it temporary!!

[@LilDirt12]

You are spot on with explaining that the conditioner fills the hair cuticle and prevents dye from penetration. And what I do between shampooing is I use conditioner as my shampoo. And I don't use hot water when I do wash and rinse with cold water. Great vid. ❤

[@briarthambawita4617]

Hello! I recently dyed my hair to a rose gold pastel color. And after watching your DIY, lets just say it worked wonders to my hair. Thank you so much for the tip 👍🏽

[@JessTester]

No problem!! So glad it helped ❤

[@mariannescarfe6836]

I love my pink hair, love these tips! I’ve been buying pink conditioner so will definitely try this!

[@JessTester]

Yes, definitely give it a try! It's a good way to save some money :)

[@sonnyecho9195]

Genius thank you I have naturally grey hair since I am old but I am so looking forward to this as a color for this next year thank you again well done

[@KristenIngold]

I am going to attempt this. I have very dark hair but have been wanting to try this for awhile ;-)

[@crystalellinalollipop2006]

🌸 I have very dark hair too I can’t dye my hair pink for how my hair won’t take color my mom doesn’t have enough money to take me to the salon so it makes me sad how everyone is able to have colored hair & have the money 🌸

[@TheCityCatYT]

I'm planning to dye my hair pink and that conditioner hack sounds genius.

[@carolmundim6404]

i just tried painting some pastel pink highlights and the first time I washed it, I ended with no color at all. I was really desperate and I tried to search some videos in portuguese but couldn't find and while searching in english I found yours! This is helping me so much, thank you a lot, you're gorgeous

[@JessTester]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you found this video helpful 😊

[@alejandracastro8716]

Omg this the exact hair color I want it’s so pretty!!!!

[@guerita1245]

I want your pink hair so bad 💗💗

[@xo.Frenchie]

Those were great tips! Btw, pastel pink looks great on you 💖

[@JessTester]

Thank you so much!!

[@vickymacdonald1473]

My bleached is at least level 10 and im really wanting a pastal pink so im doing it sunday night thankyou for your tips

[@JessTester]

Ooh that’s exciting, good luck!

[@AmyButtafuoco3]

Verry clever! 3 questions: 1: could this be done with a mask instead of conditioner? 2: how long does the bottle stay good? 3: if you are tired of the color, do you do a bleach bath or..? I want to buy some arctic fox dye's and this would be a great way to keep it up.

[@JessTester]

I feel like it would work just as well with a hair mask! Not too sure how long the bottle stays good for because I use it all up pretty quickly. And, lastly, yes I do a bleach bath sometimes if I want to switch the color but it hasn't faded out enough.

[@iiAngelic]

Hey! I like all of these tips. How do you recommend from having hair turn orange?

[@sailinglemonade]

How about swimming? In summer days I swim every day. Do you know how salt water effect the pink hair color?

[@JessTester]

Swimming definitely makes the color fade faster! Maybe try using a swimming cap

[@goldiebumblebee6593]

Hi what were the Arctic Fox shades you used please?

[@JessTester]

I used Virgin Pink with conditioner

[@sophie_dang]

Thank you for this! You’re so well-spoken :) going to dye my hair pastel pink from really dark hair and I heard it was a really high maintenance!

[@JessTester]

No problem! Glad it was helpful 😊

[@saltyriz7734]

Can we make pink shampoo?

[@kassidydietz3504]

How do you apply it to your hair? I notice that I tend to miss some spots it looks a little patchy at times.

[@JessTester]

I have a quite a few videos on my channel where I show myself applying the hair dye, if you'd like to check that out. Basically, you just have to apply it to small sections!

[@adrianamrf1161]

Hi! I have pastel purple hair and I want to do the diy conditioner tip but I was wondering. Have you noticed if it stains your shower? I live with roommates and I think they wouldn’t like that. Thais for the video! It was super helpful.

[@JessTester]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! I have not had any issues with stains in the shower and my bathroom is completely white 😊

[@Deaty1990]

Good day! i stumbled upon your channel as i was trying to find means to maintain my newly dyed champagne pink bottom half hair and darker shade on the upper half part.. could you help a sister out.. i have no clue what color combination do i put on the conditioner to get “light champagne coral pink” color deposit weekly treatment? heeelp 😢❤ i would like to maintain it but scared to buy the wrong color creme combination

[@KK-vh7jt]

I just got the same done, pink and orange (but a tiiiiiiny bit of both into a lot of white conditioner) to make a peachy tone

[@xposuremedicinehat5937]

What about developer? Does your hair dye not need developer?

[@JessTester]

Nope! I only use developer when I bleach my roots

[@jeanqnguyen4542]

I love your pastel shade

[@kclittle3856]

Also, could you put dye in a hair mask and apply whilst your hair is dry?

[@JessTester]

You can! That would basically just be like dyeing your hair

[@Katrinalopez71]

My hair is dark brown and I want to dye my hair red but with mixing it with henna, would I still get the color?

[@JessTester]

I have no idea. I’ve never used henna!

[@Katrinalopez71]

@@JessTester alright thanks

[@JossyL.]

How often do you color it? Sorry if I missed that part. 😅

[@JessTester]

0:55 😊

[@marykidney5578]

When your dying your hair after 6 weeks and it has been mixed with conditioner to get the lighter pink . how much time do u leave it on for

[@JessTester]

For about a hour

[@kclittle3856]

How long have you had your pink hair for and how long do you wanna keep it for?

[@JessTester]

It's been a year and a half since I first dyed it pink but I've changed up my hair color during that time. I always end up going back to pink though so I'll probably keep it for a long time!

[@kclittle3856]

@@JessTester I dyed my hair pink because of this video and now I’m definitely not going back to normal colours pahahaha, you look amazing with pink hair!

[@lilamontoya5609]

Amazon sells a pink conditioner that dyes your hair in between really doing your hair I love it, i haven't redyed it in 6 months

[@JessTester]

Yeah, a few brands make those, which is why I wanted to show how to make it yourself :)

[@Mrsjam96]

I get my pink conditioner from Sally Beauty. It is too dark so I mix it with white conditioner. The bottle is only $10 and it lasts a looong time because I am diluting it. I do not dye my pink hair at all! Just the pink conditioner.

[@yukiewho8244]

I want to know is the conditioner that u use to dilute is silicone-free? I heard for pastel color silicone-free conditioner works best but around my area it's really hard to find one. Btw, I freaking love the color of your hair

[@JessTester]

I've also heard that silicone-free works best but I just use whatever I can find, which usually has silicone.

[@fo3947]

It looks so pretty 😍

[@MooseCall]

Oooh I'm going to try the conditioner. No way am I paying for a pink conditioner.

[@JessTester]

Right? It's such a waste of money if you can just make your own!

[@hawrajaber1392]

Thank you😍

[@nellsbells1212]

Do you tone your roots before applying the pink dye? :)

[@JessTester]

I don't but if my roots are too yellow, I'll wash them with purple shampoo

[@tatilati7963]

Why would you put a conditioner in the dye 🤔

[@JessTester]

To make the color lighter

[@MrFlap0]

Do you mostly apply the conditioner to the tips or do you do your roots too? If you do apply it to your head, do you find that it gets oily more easily? P.s. love your hair, you’re so pretty

[@JessTester]

Thanks! I apply it everywhere! I naturally have very oily hair but since it's now bleached, I'm able to apply conditioner to my roots without it getting oily

Hello! Can I use pantene conditioner?

[@JessTester]

Any conditioner will work as long as it's white (so you have a better idea of how the color will turn out)

What is your process of redying your hair at that 6 weeks?
