Transcript
00:00Just from having all these funky, vibrant colors, I just started loving myself and building
00:04that confidence.
00:05My hair defines me.
00:07It's my crown.
00:10Hi, my name is Cherry.
00:11I'm an entrepreneur in New York City and this is Hair Me Out.
00:14I'm taking my colored hair that's a bit damaged and going for an all over red.
00:18Before we get into this transformation, please subscribe below.
00:22My current hair makes me feel strong, vibrant, sexy.
00:26Just being a black woman, having purple hair, it's very out of the norm, but I love it and
00:33I feel supreme.
00:35Last year was the first time I've dyed my hair ever.
00:38I went from blonde to pink, orange, green, blue, now purple.
00:44I do feel like my hair is a bit damaged because my curls used to be more intact and bouncy
00:50and
00:51flowy.
00:51Now it just gets a little flat here and there, but I'm excited for this transformation because
00:57I'm finally getting my hair professionally done so I can keep dyeing my hair in the future.
01:04Red hair.
01:05My name is Cherry.
01:06Do you see this outfit?
01:07I'm so ready for this transformation.
01:10So Cherry, are you excited about going red?
01:12Yes.
01:13Any concerns?
01:14I've been just dyeing my hair for about a year now, so I just want to really take care
01:19of my girl.
01:20We'll definitely take care of that, so don't worry.
01:23Okay, so we're going to start with a single process, okay?
01:25Since you have regrowth and then the ends are quite light, we're going to do a gloss on top
01:32of it after.
01:33It's just going to seal the color in and then we're going to add in Cara Fix Cheap.
01:37Your curls are going to be beautiful and bouncy.
01:40It's definitely going to reflect your personality.
01:41I'm really excited about this transformation.
01:44Let's get started!
01:46Yes!
01:55We're going to put it all over and I'm going to try to even out your color since you have
01:59two different colors going.
02:01My mom will be very excited about this red.
02:03She's been nagging me about going back to a natural color, so I hope she really likes it.
02:08I feel like black and brown wouldn't compliment my style and my personality, and red would
02:14be fitting for Cherry, my nickname.
02:16So we're going to let this process for 30 minutes, and then after that it will be ready
02:22to be rinsed.
02:23I feel like I got a lot of stares and looks when I first started dying my hair, and at
02:28first I felt a little isolated and weird, but after that I just started loving myself
02:34and building that confidence like, hey, I'm Cherry, this is me, I have colored hair.
02:38My confidence translated, so now I don't need these vibrant, different, funky colors, so
02:43now I can tone it down and still have that confidence.
02:46So it's best to use shampoo and conditioner designed for color damaged hair to help strengthen
02:52hair and keep its color vibrant for longer.
02:59Alright, so I think we should put some lighter pieces on top and a few in the back just to
03:05kind of balance your ends out.
03:07We're going to do foilage, which is kind of like balayage but in foils.
03:11It's a really cool technique.
03:13I think you're going to really like this.
03:15Since your hair is pretty damaged from continuous bleaching, I don't want to bleach it too much.
03:21That's why I'm using foilage to create depth to add pop and shine.
03:26Honestly, I don't even know what my friends are going to say, but I know they're going to love it.
03:30I'm still going to feel like me after this transformation.
03:33Fun, sexy, edgy, so this hair is just going to add more to that.
03:38My hair is already damaged from all the coloring in the past, so I'm excited because they will
03:43take care of my hair so I can keep dyeing it in the future.
03:47So now, Cherry, I'm going to apply the gloss.
03:51This will give you more pop to your hair color.
03:56So, Cherry, I just finished with the gloss. It looks amazing.
04:00And Roslyn will take care of you.
04:02Hi, Cherry.
04:03So, now I'm just going to give you the deconditioning Carefix mask.
04:06And what it does, it helps make your hair stronger.
04:08And usually, you leave it in for about 10 minutes.
04:24Our Carefix treatment, it helps build your hair back up.
04:27It helps with the bonds and make your hair stronger.
04:30Because every day we lose protein, so it's just going to help build it back up.
04:43Hi, Cherry. I'm Emily. I'm going to be styling your hair today.
04:46Great.
04:47The color is amazing.
04:48Oh, my God. Thank you.
04:50So, talk to me. What are you looking to get done today?
04:53So, I still want to keep the same form.
04:56Just want to, like, volumize it because that was one thing I was concerned about with the new color.
05:01We can cut more layers on top just to give you some more of that volume.
05:04And just reshape everything, but just keep it in the same realm.
05:07Great. Sound good?
05:08Yes.
05:22All right, Cherry. Are you ready to see your new hair?
05:24Yes. I'm so excited.
05:28Oh, my God. What?
05:33Wow.
05:35Oh, this looks so good.
05:36And it looks healthy. Like, my curl pattern is back.
05:40It's not damaged. Brand new woman.
05:43All right, so I have two more people who really want to see this. Are you ready?
05:46Yes. Are they ready?
05:48All right, guys.
05:50Oh, my God.
05:50Cherry, that looks amazing.
05:53It's so good.
05:53You guys did that. Yes. I love it.
05:56I want the outcome of this transformation to show little girls that you can color your hair any color and
06:02not be judged.
06:03Just love yourself, own it, work it, and be strong.
06:09Bye.
06:10Bye.
