How To Ruin Your Hair With a DIY Ombre At Home ! Hairdresser reacts to Hair Fails

[@ashleyelizabeth8119]

My hairstylist used to call DIY Ombré her “paycheck in a box” because it was always a fail and people ended up spending more money for her to fix it.

[@H3len50]

I lost 70% to 80% of my hair all over 2 years ago due to Covid and then Long Covid. I have always had long fine hair but I had a lot of it. It was devastating as I felt so ugly (my hubby was amazing), it has taken me all that time for it to run it's course. It's still very fine and fragile but I got my first hair cut last week after 2 plus years and even managed to get a fringe back. The freedom of not having to wear scarfs to hide it has lifted my spirits. I can't dye it as it is still so fragile so have to embrace the grey or as I like to call it tinsel. I will never take my hair for granted again, I would rather have grey hair than no hair. I do miss my prettier hair.

[@nimedhel09]

I'm so sorry you had to go through this, but the silver lining (ha, unintended pun?) is that grey hair is also gorgeous!

[@H3len50]

@@nimedhel09Thank you. It's still coming out, thanks to menopause now, oh joy.. 😂 . I wish it would go a lovely grey at the one time but getting the odd strand here and there. I have a feeling it will be long process. I prefer to call it my tinsel hair.. 😂. X

[@takohamoolsen2486]

Even I'm not daft enough to do my hair 3 hours before work. My granddaughter dyed my hair purple a week ago, she used fine sections and a dye brush. Budding hairdresser at age 9. And she loves Hair Buddha videos too.

[@sarcasticcat4982]

My husband was dying my hair for me last night." Okay." He said in this ACCENT. "I am starting at the back of the head. I am taking fine sections and doing the lengths first and then to the roots. I have started the first timer....." I started to laugh and the he suddenly said" This is special!" And I stopped laughing and began to worry.....😬😂 He did a really good job! Both channeling Hair Buddha and dying my hair! Thanks Hair Buddha! Lol!

It is so refreshing that Hair Buddha is just saying his professional view about things so directly without apologizing for it. I feel like we live in an era where even if i am right about something, for examble at work, I need to say it in an apologetical way as to not upset the people. It is so tiring and takes so much extra time. I am refreshed by Hair Buddha.

I recently applied Arctic Fox Sunset Orange without gloves, thinking my hands would be stained for a day or two, like when I used blue and green. My hands looked like they were covered with Cheeto dust for a couple days. Took a week before it stopped looking like I was bleeding around my nails. Crazy. My hair looks great, though.

​@Hair Buddha I have scalp psoriasis on the back of my scalp plus sensitive skin. I have no intentions of dying my hair. Mother Nature and my kids are doing that for me. But if someone with a scalp condition like psoriasis were to ask you about dying their hair, what would you say? What are your thoughts about it? I tell people that with my condition, I couldn't dye my hair. Could you make a video about hair dying and scalp problems? Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@avacadotoast5492]

Since I've been on my long hair journey I can't believe how poorly I used to treat my hair. I used to bleach highlights in my hair like 3 times a year and use heat on my hair everyday. That may not sound too crazy but it was so damaging and I will never do that again. It blows my mind that some of these ladies on KZbin are dying their hair multiple times A MONTH. Having long healthy hair is so much more important to me now than having blonde in my hair. My hair is so healthy now and down to my lower back and I am embracing my ginger color and feel so happy with my hair now😊

[@Tranquility32]

Back in the 80’s we played it safe. The trend was to bleach out just a small portion of our hair, in the area just behind our ears. Then we would dye just that strip any color we wanted.

[@ffyrestarr]

I like bleaching a piece either side of my fringe under the top most hair by the temple. Any colour I like. Then let grow out or dye over 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I have face framing layers so it's cut out pretty quick too.

[@cynsi7604]

AMEN!! And this is what I did whenever I got bored at the shop on a slow day. Hairdressers in the 80s we always had cool cause slow day equals funday!! 😎 ✌🏻

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

Oh, i used directions in the 90ies. Loved it. Used the bright pink, violet, blue - just one strand in the front. NEVER washed out. Never. Had to grow it out :-) of my natural very light hair at the time. It was the only companie with these bright colours avalible to me at the time.

[@lydiaspruhan6029]

I did the same. LaRiche Directions was the color to get back then. I bleached and dyed my bangs in high school. Fun times.

[@sweariefaerie9621]

Thank you for another fun video! Also, I'm happy to say that I'm finally at a very pale yellow that I can tone to white. It's taken about 4 months, and a lot of deep conditioning, but because you've helped me stay patient, my hair is largely healthy after several (spaced) rounds of bleach.

[@theresafeeney2756]

Ombré is very pretty when it’s done right by a professional! Why do people think they can do it alone?

[@SB-ez3dw]

All I can think of is how hard it must be on your hair to brush bleach through your hair. It’s a BRUSH.

[@yolnow4ever515]

I've managed to do a very good job on my daughter's mane, but it was a long process and a lot of product! And got a real ombre by starting with the tips and ligther strands around the face and worked my way up! There were hand painted strands and very well saturated and blended. This gave the time for the ends and first ones to be much ligther with a nice shading 😁 Thanks Hair Buddha! 🤗

[@lisahardie6784]

Have these ladies ever seen a hair stylist just gobbed out the color with bare hands and just slapped it in hair??? So why do they think that's ok to do?!?! 🙄

[@aprildegele1510]

On blonde hair, there is no such thing as "temporary color", especially with these colors. My advice (having done my son's hair and then having had mine professionally done), pick a temporary color that fades out well.

[@afiiik1]

My husband's ex-wife asked me to put "pink pop" colour refresh in her hair as an ombre. That woman is fearless 😂 Anyway, I told her it would take months to wash out, that it would turn more copper than pink with time, that I'm not a professional and she still insinted... But overall it turned out pretty good, I used a comb, backcombed, did streaks, did thin sections.... But again, that woman has balls😅

I have used only Directions for the past 10 years for my pink and blue and they've always been great! They're very pigmented, last as long as you'd expct semi permanent to last(fairly long tbh!) I use it on bleached hair and my niece has just started using the darker colours on her unbleached hair (she is 11) and they often come ot lovely too! Obviously not as vibrant and it fades very quick but it was never going to be a fair comparison with my pourus bleached hair lol. it's also about a 5th of the price of manic panic and has roughly the same amount of ml in a botle, we don't get arctic fox so easily here in the UK

Edited to add: My college grad photo nightmare… I had waist-long hair and wanted a spiral perm. My sis was doing it and she looked so pretty. So I went to MY salon and the guy used regular perm rollers and said it gives the same effect. My light brown hair wound up completely frizzed and was orange. He didn’t charge me. I went back and he dyed it back brown, chopped it off and gave me a nice layered look. But what a DISASTER!

Hello Hair Buddha I stumbled upon your video a few weeks ago and subscribed to your channel on KZbin. I saw your video where you said people had commented that you talk too much. In my opinion, your videos would be nothing without your great mannerisms, and especially without your great facial expressions. Anyway, keep up the good work, you give people good tips and you also have compassion for people when someone has a nasty accident with their hair. I'm sorry that I can't write English properly, so I use google translator, so I'm already sorry if there are some typos in the translation. Really good continuation and comment on more people's posts. 😊😊

Honestly, since I enjoy bleaching and changing my hair color often I've given up on having long hair. I like my hair short. It's rather fine and I don't like dealing with extensions either, so I'll just keep it short.

[@charityfrazier8639]

Same here. I been growing mine out and now it's a little longer than shoulder length and I HATE it. I am used to having it chopped pretty short and I'm very close to going and having it cut again. I wanna dye it so bad I can't stand it but I am trying to let it get healthy again. I am hoping a haircut will help get rid of some of the damaged hair and help with that too.

[@hells_shells]

@charityfrazier8639 I was going to get a chealsea cut until one of my friends told me that style is associated with skin heads, so I got a similar cut but it looks different enough so I won't get associated with that subculture. My hair is naturally dark brown, almost black, so it's a lot of work to keep it a level 10 so I can keep doing light pastel colors

[@michelechesney3599]

I really hope you answer this question Hair Buddy or any professional or someone who may know. I have an old grown out balayage. I have light to medium brown hair and the blonde is about a level 7 or 8. I really want color in my hair and I thought about using Arctic Fox or any direct pigment color in purple or magenta but a darker bright color. Can I apply these direct pigments on my old balayage? My hair is past my just shoulders and the blonde goes up to about my chin maybe to my lips in some places. I just want the bright color on the ends would this work or look stupid? The top of 1/2 of my hair is virgin & it’s been 8 months since I had it bleached. Any input on if this would work I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks in advance!

Oh yeah nah that girl using La Riché Directions? It's not coming off for months. The ones I use have stayed for 3+ months, fading to still pigmented but less vibrant colours and that's on dark hair too! And I think for her application, perhaps, on way she could have had a more melted ombré effect would have been to apply conditioner or a mask on the parts she did not want that much colour and blended the pink into those sections, taking her time and using sections, which is kind of easy with longer hair? I cut my hair off, and let me tell you that sectioning for doing an ombré was not easy on my bob cut compared to when it was to my waist lol.
