I was more impressed with the bleaching results than the actual colour in the end.

[hsu-hunghuang]

Kinda disappointing to see how dark she toned the hair as she really lifted the colour so much

[JuliaJuliaJuliaHey]

Wait why go through all that for patchy greyyyy

[itwasatuesday]

I’m sorry but this is not flattering. It’s purple, green and grey at the same time. It looks like an amateur did it.

[kazagirl]

I don't understand the point of bleaching her hair just to end up with another dark color. If I'm going to do that kind of damage to my hair, it's going to be for a much lighter hair color.

The process was so, so beautiful. I was stunned by how evenly her hair reached a blond tone, but unfortunately the end result was really disappointing. Wish she kept it blonde

[Chimpybimps]

Loved the explanation. I thought that the end result looked all patchy and I don't think the colour suits her.

[yvetterivers]

moral of the story: healthy hair + a professional = how to bleach without damage

[ShawnieSoSolo]

This was terrible. Her hair looks purple instead of grey

[NadjaNatasha]

I love how she really explained the logic and science behind the bleaching and toning process!

This video should be titled “How to bleach hair and bring it back to the same natural hair color as before”

[billyspi.]

She is so cute and pretty, but this coloring aged her.The coloring is uneven, with weird shading of goo green and weird purple;and the hair looks weaker.A video here a year ago, a asian also girl Nicole;why got her dark hair bleached on ice blond and it turned out beautyful, healthy looking.And it was a real ice blond.

So in a nutshell: go to a professional who knows what they are doing and don't just wing it at home

[crystaldiella]

Why was this edited like a suspense /scary movie?

[herpderpington]

I see the weird sound-fetishist mixer guy is back.

[eagletmars]

I feel like she would have looked so much better if she would have kept the blonde hair, but simply with a toner so that it took out the yellow tone. The gray was ok, but I liked how the blonde was looking on her😥

[sosomahmoud]

So you extremely bleached her hair to do this DARK color?! What's the point of so much lightening!

[barojo]

Is this actually what she was going for???? Looks like an oops diy. It's very uneven. She loved guess that's all that matters. I would have cried!!!

[aaryaask]

Me taking down notes so that I don't end up doing it wrong like my friends who bleached their hair at home during quarantine 😂
