00:00I know everyone's gonna be like,
00:02girl, this is a wig.
00:03You should be comfortable with doing whatever to it,
00:05but this is a very expensive unit.
00:07I love the fact that it's blonde,
00:09but also it's virgin hair.
00:11It's sourced from one head.
00:13I can't believe I'm about to dye it blue.
00:17My name is Destiny Taylor,
00:19and I'm gonna get my hair transformed into Cardi B blue.
00:24I'm a creative hustler from Indiana,
00:26living in sunny California.
00:29Growing up, I had three sisters,
00:31and we always just did our own hair.
00:34I'm most nervous about trusting someone else with my hair.
00:39I had this horrible experience in high school
00:41where I actually bleached it, and I colored it orange.
00:45After that color, my hair was this short.
00:48So I've been really indulging in just the privilege
00:52to be able to transform myself
00:54into whoever I want to be with wigs and extensions.
00:59I'm excited for this transformation for two reasons.
01:02One, I love Cardi's first and second mixtape.
01:06Gangsta Bitch, volume one and two is my ish.
01:09But also just who she represents.
01:11She just popped out a baby.
01:13She's back on stage, back in the studio with blue hair.
01:16It represents my alter ego that I push to bring out every day.
01:21It's bold, it's energetic, and it's so vibrant and strong.
01:25I'm gonna feel that newness that I've been longing for.
01:29My name is Daniel Moon, and I own Hair, Vest Salon, in downtown Los Angeles.
01:38Hey, hey, welcome there.
01:40Hello, thank you.
01:41Go on in.
01:41Wow, this is such a cool space.
01:44I'm always excited to work with a wig,
01:46because the challenge is always to make it not look like a wig.
01:49I'm just nervous with the bleach that it'll get over-processed.
01:52Again, I had that horrible situation with my natural hair,
01:56so I would hate for that to happen.
01:57This is a very expensive wig.
01:59All right, I hear you want to go Cardi B blue.
02:02Yes, yes, yes.
02:03That's my favorite blue right now, actually.
02:05Yes, I just want to be bold and fearless like Cardi.
02:08All right, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna change it up for you.
02:11We're gonna open up your face a little bit more,
02:14and lock in your eyes to keep them nice and flirty and sexy.
02:17Nice, I've never had bangs before, so this should be interesting.
02:20Well, get ready for it.
02:21Here we go.
02:22I'm ready.
02:26So I got four different shades for you.
02:29I like to give it a little bit of movement and contrast,
02:32so you have a lot of dimension in there.
02:38All right, Destiny, now we got your blue bass on.
02:41We're gonna get to the fun part with the three blues,
02:43and we're gonna get the electric magic in.
02:49And then, we're gonna do the blue one.
02:49During the process, I felt like I needed a little bit more pizzazz,
02:53a little bit more electricity, so I created my own custom blues.
02:56Bowie blue, and then a Dodger blue for Los Angeles, baby.
03:04Voila.
03:13I can't wait to see how it looks once it's dry.
03:17You think it looks good now?
03:19Just wait.
03:20I've never had my hair blue before.
03:22I'm hoping it really complements my melanin.
03:31This color is amazing.
03:34Now that we're nice and dry, now we can get to the fun stuff.
03:41Are we going to do them like really thick and fringy or are we doing something thinner?
03:47Let's just say it's going to be a surprise.
03:50Oh god.
03:54Oh my god.
03:56I look like a little Barbie doll.
03:58Yes, you do.
04:00Oh my god.
04:01Straight from the moon.
04:02I love this so much.
04:07This hair, it makes me feel very sassy.
04:11A lot of spunk.
04:13What's so cool about black hair and the culture of it is just how prominent extensions and
04:21weaves are in it.
04:23We can transform my hair and become who we want at any moment, whenever.
04:28I'm always excited to see a wig absorb the color exactly how we mixed it.
04:34I haven't had anyone other than me put their hands in my head in like eight years and Daniel
04:41did an amazing job.
04:42He's the first person I trusted with my hair and he's great.
04:45The way that I help my clients maintain their brightly colored hair is I make them custom
04:50colored conditioners so you can maintain it at home.
04:54I hope that every single person in the world wakes up knowing that the love that they receive
04:59is only the love that they put out.
05:02And I hope that I'll teach you now.
05:05I'll see you soon.
05:06Bye, bye.
05:06Bye, bye.
05:06You
