00:00I'm a little bit nervous on however my hair is gonna lay.
00:04It's got a mind of its own,
00:05so I'm just worried how it's gonna take to the cut.
00:07Hi, I'm Sydney,
00:08and today I'm getting a pink hair color correction.
00:10Before you see my transformation, subscribe below.
00:13I would like my hair color corrected
00:14because I am tired of it looking
00:16like I had a mental breakdown in quarantine.
00:19I dyed my hair pink
00:20because I was growing out my blonde hair
00:24that I dyed last year.
00:25I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and got a pink tube of dye.
00:31I loved the bright pink at first.
00:34It was really fun.
00:35It's something I always wanted to try,
00:37and it was great while it lasted,
00:39but it didn't last very long,
00:40and now I'm ready for another change.
00:42Hi, I'm Khanna.
00:44I'll be your hairstylist today.
00:47Awesome.
00:47I've been doing hair for 18 years.
00:50My specialty is color correction and balayage.
00:54I want a little more natural look
00:56and redo the whole thing, go a little bit darker.
00:59Okay, so basically just like a whole hair transformation.
01:03Yeah.
01:05All right, let's get started.
01:06Okay.
01:08I used Olaplex to protect her porous ends,
01:14and also I used the Red Can Bleach Recovery Oil.
01:19So first, I added the highlights with foils,
01:23and used a different formula for the part already bleached
01:27to protect from overlapping and over-damaging.
01:31I am very excited to see a professional
01:34for my hair transformation.
01:36I definitely shouldn't be doing my own hair.
01:40Yeah, please just get a hair done by professionals.
01:45I toned the roots between foils.
01:48I used semi-permanent color for that
01:51since she wants to go darker than her natural level.
01:55It takes longer to deposit the pigment
01:58on healthy new regrowth,
01:59so I left it for 15 minutes first,
02:02and then put the color through to the ends
02:05and left it for another 10 minutes
02:07because porous ends always grab the pigment right away.
02:11Once the highlights process done,
02:13I washed her hair,
02:15but I still see little pink on the ends.
02:18So I used different toner to cancel out the pink tone,
02:23and it took me another 20 minutes.
02:26And then also another toner to tone all over the hair.
02:32For the haircut, since she doesn't want to change the length,
02:35I just trimmed the dead ends on the bottom
02:38and then added lots of layers to give it more body and movement.
02:42I also did a pointing cut technique to give extra textures
02:46to make it easy to style as her natural wavy hair.
02:52I have definitely thought about getting a shag for a while.
02:56I just think it's a really cool, like, punk look.
03:00I'm also excited about getting a fringe again.
03:03I've had them done before, like, above the eyebrow,
03:07but I'm liking a longer bang,
03:09so I'm just excited to get longer bangs again.
03:17She actually has a beautiful natural wavy.
03:20She can totally let it air dry
03:22and no need to style with brush and irons,
03:26but I just use the curling irons to give a little beachy wave on it.
03:34You ready?
03:35Yeah.
03:38Oh my god!
03:40Oh my god!
03:42It looks so cute!
03:46Wow!
03:47And, like, that's so cool.
03:48Yeah, the little highlights.
03:49Yeah, so it's still, like, dimensional.
03:52No more pink.
03:53No more pink!
03:54Yeah, so cute.
03:57I'm just so happy that the pink is gone,
03:59and it, like, feels so nice,
04:00and I'm excited to just not have to have, like, a huge routine
04:05or just throw my hair in a clip because I hate how it looks
04:07because I love how it looks now and feels.
04:10It's just, it's great.
04:11Seeing her face in the mirror for a reveal,
04:15she looks so happy,
04:16and then, like, she can't stop touching her hair,
04:19and that makes me happy.
04:21She was so sweet and nice,
04:23and then even, like, the color correction is always, like, hard work for the stylist,
04:29but she actually made it easy to work on it.
04:33Working with Kana was a dream.
04:35She's so sweet and fun and has such great attention to detail.
04:40The texture of my hair, it's just, like, so nice and smooth.
04:43All of, like, the fried pink bits are gone.
04:46I'm going to maintain this look by keeping it clean and air drying it
04:51because it's just gonna, my natural waves are just gonna, like, pop, I think.
04:57My current hair makes me feel great.
04:59It looks like a million bucks.
05:02I will not be doing my hair at home again.
05:04I'm gonna trust the professionals.
05:06I'm so happy with it.
05:07It couldn't be more me.
