When we filmed this at the end of 2020, I was feeling very reckless and decided that dying Sams hair with 16 different blue hair dyes was the best way for me to find the PERFECT shade of blue. Of course, once we did that and saw how it all washed out, we HAD to mix together all 16 shades to make one MEGA BLUE, and then dye his hair with that. Come back for part 2 tomorrow!!!
I bought most of these colours from Priceline, Hair House Warehouse and Beserk (I used their Blue Hair Dye page www.beserk.com...)

Your file preservation is just so in depth. No words. Queen of digital hoarding and actually using it

[@e11eohe11e]

Lol I was wondering why her hair was long lol. That makes sense!

[@agnieszkabattrick2460]

Just when I wondered what Alex has been up to lately, she posts a video! And it's a hair dying video!!! Got my popcorn, got my wine, got my Pretty Pastel and Sam!!!!!! ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jaimeluciani-fox2451]

From 2 years ago.

[@Druidkitten]

Please remember that no matter how many negative comments you get there are more of us who love you and appreciate any video you upload for us. I do not care if it is footage that you filmed years ago. It is a video you took time to film and I'm happy to watch it. Thank you!

[@kurenaiketsueki2]

For blues, it’s best to tone your hair to get as much of the yellow out of the hair. It will help get some of the greener colors closer to a true turquoise

[@MoonMagickMayhem]

I do this by adding a violet/neutral purple to the blue. Not enough to change the blue to look purple, just enough to help cancel out any yellow or orange base colors left from bleaching.

[@JoyceDawn100]

IMAGINE GIVING YOUR BEST FRIEND PERMISSION TO DO YOUR HAIR ANY WAY THEY WISH TO DO. This = unconditional friendship.

[@lolofunslayer4953]

I think a lot of those blues were more purple to avoid going green since bleached hair is usually a bit yellow.

[@wingedyera]

That absolutely makes sense to me

[@EmEm78]

Agreed

[@mis_chie_vous]

Alex! I've missed you so much! Hope all is well with Dan, the family, friends, and the furry and feathered ones. I just finished my very last class of my degree today and what perfect timing that a new video comes out! So excited to see all 16 mixed together in the next video! I truly admire your backlog of footage. If anything it just makes me feel like you put your all into your videos even more! Love you lots! edit: spelling

[@Lavendarsblue]

Congrats on your degree! Done with school!

[@mis_chie_vous]

@@Lavendarsblue i dont know how i missed this! Thank you so much!!!!

[@centurycountess4949]

This was a fun experiment. Manic panic is an old time favorite of mine. It has a color called virgin snow I think its called. Its really good for bleach hair that turned out more yellow. The virgin snow lightens it up more and gives it a frosted to lighter tone making it easier for other hair colors to take. I chose it out of curiosity and it didn't make my hair white but it did correct the yellow and make it platinum.

[@marikotrue3488]

Just when I thought there would be no more hair being dyed on this channel for a while! Even if it is part of "historical records" I know it will be fun. In the beginning, I was one of those who said oh no, Alex. Now I am totally for the colorful changes. It has even encouraged me to take the plunge. However currently my rose gold hair has de-evolved to 50% muddy brown and 50% faded gold-ish brown so if I can save up the coin I need to get a professional's help asap. Nice to see Alex and Sam again.❤️

[@brianna1638]

You should try curly girl method on Sam's hair when/ if it's long enough. You could even compare the method with someone with very straight hair !

[@bellakamens4350]

The clenditioners are used to upkeep colored hair! But I’ve used it to dye my hair and it lasts longer than hair dye !

[@Babycat42069]

This!! It makes existing long lasting hair dye colors last way longer but also works great as a tint to blonde hair.

[@jack.e_bee]

for anyone new to fashion colors, ALL semi-permanent dyes are literally just pigment combined with what is essentially conditioner. because of this, you can combine them with any conditioner to dilute the color and pastelize it - using white conditioner is best to give the most accurate idea of the resulting dye color

[@jasminepreen4125]

God, I miss her so much. RIP One of the underrated greats of KZbin ❤

[@ourdearlydeparteddoll]

Most blue hair dyes run very purple so they can cancel out the yellow in the hair strand. Without the purple your hair would come out teal. But teal hair dyes apply blue because your hairs yellow base gives it the yellow it needs to be a nice teal :)

[@JennyPenny1980-]

The Dad from Euphoria is actually McSteamy, Mark Sloan. McDreamy is Derrick Shepard. I love blue hair the most next to mint hair but because I have tons of pink undertone and am very ivory white despite my Italian and Metis DNA (Irish and Scottish prevail) anytime I do blue I am happy for a day then have to start the process to get it out again and it is the hardest to get out next to black unless you use copper and pinks with reds in it. Anyway, I am happy you uploaded a video even if it is from a long time ago.

[@Liquidating]

didnt ask :D /j

[@Babycat42069]

The klenditioner is actually really good if you use it every few showers to maintain hair color. You are meant to leave it in for like 15 minutes to let the color soak in and give your hair a deep condition. I've used the light pink and purple. The purple covered everything very consistently in a pretty purple in a couple washes and the pink tinted my hair pink very pleasantly over 3 or 4

[@volucellabombylans2892]

The "pastel" blues are swampy greenish because his hair is yellow at the start. It has to be absolutely white for those light blue tones

[@slytherinsky]

Yay I can’t believe you’re back on I’m so excited!!! And I love those three manic panic colors they work so well and they’re so vivid.

[@aictopus]

True pastel dyes will only work well on level 10 or higher, depending on the color. Especially with pastel blue, any yellow tone left in the hair of course will pull it towards green. Your hair needs to be basically white to get a true true pastel blue.

[@Aitherea]

perfect timing cuz I am looking for some blue dyes :D

[@lillianfredriksson1890]

Ahhhhhh. i have missed you. This looks like an oldie but goody.

[@ellaaa1498]

Oh my gosh I love this video. It makes me miss my blue hair so much. Thank you for uploading an older one, I’ll happily watch anything you upload 💙 they also help my anxiety too.

[@kristyfarmer8413]

When my daughter was in third grade I introduced her to the Great video about some thing that loved rusty spoons and was weird and silly and somehow made your mood, if it was down, definitely get lifted. Anyways that was quite some time ago she is now a junior in high school and honest to God she brought it up and it made me so happy. It's just something silly and fun that's a memory in both of our minds. If it wasn't for salad fingers rusty spoon and KZbin that never would have happened. Your videos is for sure in my playlist of cheery lighthearted and creative content that is so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for your light that you shine on this platform that can be very dark sometimes. ❤️😘

[@bubblebrainbow]

Alex I was legitimately JUST thinking about you. 💙 I had blue hair once and it was so tragic to wash out I swear I will never do it again.😅

[@rosalie.levesque]

I swore the same thing, but then did it again a few months later... Still as much horrible to wash, but I just accepted the fact that my shower, towels, collar of my shirts and pillowcases will be blue

[@FrolleinMiez]

Blue is so hard to get out. Weird green will stay forever What I found works best is put some red over it. That is if you are willing to have some kind of redish hair for a while. But the red counters the green and fades into blonde again. Depending on the red colour it goes out in a pastel pink or more of a light grey. I used some of the pinky red directions colours before that worked so well.

[@ttmoore8750]

Loved all the blues used and I have a blue & green colour in my room.

[@Art3misSky]

Miss you and the marshmallow girls..hope you all are doing well in Aussie land. Hope to see present day content again someday! ❤️

[@valkyriedarquese]

I was just thinking about how you haven't uploaded in a while, I missed you! Great to see you back

[@ArtOfChem]

Dude what!!! Im literally dying my hair blue tomorrow! Thank you for this 💕💕💕🙌

[@apriladelewhyte]

I have missed your videos lately! So happy to see another one even if it is an older one. ❤️

[@ladyleix]

The queen is back!!!!

[@eddieishernickname]

Alex I just wanted to let you know that you are absolutely stunning. Truly ❤️

[@nova_beam]

I love the breakdown of how long all of theses color last. It’s really surprising what continue to hold on to the hair and what washed clean. It is hard to get a true color with some of these dyes because they are being placed over a very yellow base. Blue and yellow make green, so some will definitely pull a more green tone than if done on less yellow hair. Pastels are especially tricky if you’re hair is not platinum blond or close to it. This is alot of fun and gives you a better idea of which of the dyes packs a pigment punch.

[@megand8148]

I found my perfect blue by mixing Crazy Color Capri Blue and Peacock Blue together. I feel that if you mixed the two Manic Panic Rockabilly Blue and Atomic Turquoise together you'd get something similar :)

[@ShelbyZealand]

Thank you from all of us for the shirtless suggestion right up front, Alex.

[@Rachel_Lloyd95]

I was excited to wake up this morning and see you uploaded!! 🥰 No matter if the video is from two years ago, it’s still content!!

[@meggancox3320]

Fun to see these products. Directions and Punkys are my go to for bright colors. To make them last leave in for 5 hours.

[@nekomatapew3303]

A lot of people say this but i really don't think it'd be any different by leaving it an hour compared to 5

[@meggancox3320]

@@nekomatapew3303 I might have to see the difference when I color mine next. I know shampoo with no sulphates is better to keep the color in and the brand of hair stain definitely matters. Red and green didn't stick well regardless of leaving it in longer so it may not.

[@nekomatapew3303]

@@meggancox3320 red and green?? woow those actually tend to stain the most :OO And yeah, the no sulphate shampoo or color treating shampoo is actually a game changer. Didn't quite believe it 'till I tried it

[@kiliesmom]

Did rinsing it all at once cause some bleeding of upper colors to lower colors? I feel like that might explain some of the spots where they aren't that different

[@amandajackson6936]

Oh my god your back!! I miss your videos thay just bring me joy 😊

[@colecerys123]

Salad fingers haha I love this the gradient looks really nice!

[@natasja1977]

I'm not surprised that alot turned green because his hair was pretty yellow to begin with. Because there semi permanent hairdye they should wash out pretty quickly when you dye your hair more often with the same color it lasts longer

[@WolfieSilveira]

I just went by your channel yesterday looking for content, and then a few hours later, there was some new :D you cant let us wait this long ❤️

[@peridot_179]

Love your videos so much! Thank you! Its always like having a friend in the room when listening to you :)

[@loganlemonslice6911]

Manic panic voodoo blue, my fav!!

[@exit0629]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="950">15:50</a> just a suggestion: wrap cling film (plastic wrap/saran rap/idkenglishisnotmyfirstlanguage) around the side pieces of the glasses and use an old hairband or something to keep the hair back from getting on the glass part. I'm frequently dying my hair green and always use that bc without glasses I'm kinda blind lol

[@skyywriting]

I used the L'Oréal Demin before and it was honestly the longest lasting blue I've ever used. It lasted for months as a super vibrant blue. Hardly faded for weeks. Downside was it stained like crazy. After many washes it still stained the shower and towels.

[@gizzygibbs]

Sam’s hair looks amazing! 😄

[@amandajackson2827]

The cleanditioners are for after you color your hair and it starts fading after a couple of washes. They just kind of replenish/upkeep the color.

[@meganjuliabennett8905]

Salad fingers is the memory I never needed to remember

[@carendejonghe3073]

I was just wondering... it's been a while since we saw Alex... and well thadaaa ... here she is 😁😁

[@karenhickey1131]

Hey Alex absolutely loved the video, was so excited to see you back 🥰 Was just thinking, possibly if you try this experiment again with other colours, maybe to dye Sam’s hair all blonde first (so you’ve got an even base to work with), then put the lighter colour dyes on top, and darker ones on the bottom of his hair…you would have had a fair bit of bleeding from the darker colours running into the lighter colours, which would have dodgied up your result a bit, all good, was still awesome results 😆 Can’t wait to watch tomorrows vid, with all 16 colours mixed together 😁❤️

[@tarynriver]

I love this soooo much cause it shows you what shades you’d want to put together The best part about the girl who does my hair she mixes colors together shows me on a paper towel till she gets the right shade then applies it to my hair to get the turquoise I have in my hair she mixed like 4 different dyes and it reminds me of how she probably figured out what to mix cause she’s worked with all the shades

[@ItsAndie]

I was watching your old videos during the afternoon thinking "Man, I miss this girl" and here you are 💕

[@Beyond-Random]

The salad fingers reference brought me back 12 years to being horrified and also intrigued at a green internet animation, so thank you for that lol
