"Still show off the less perfect versions of ourselves." I LOVE that. Thank you Stella! Just did a color removal and tried to fill it. It was my first major eff up lmao. Hearing that phrase made me feel better about it. ❤️ Enjoy them chicken wings!

You can't expect a direct dye remover to take away a developer/oxidized black dye. The chemical composition is different and they are different in the way the color is developed onto your hair.

Direct dye is just that, a dye that uses no developer and simply sits on the top of your hair shaft like a stain does on clothing. With these dyes what you see is what you get. The color of the dye is what your end result will be in your hair. They are always semi permanent and tend to fade considerably within a few washes. They are usually the odd colors you can't find in a permanent form like blue, pink or green. The only variable is the level of the hair when it is applied. If you want bright primary blue hair you need a light blond nearly white head of hair. If you want a muddy tone of blue you can get away with a dark blond to very light brown and on anything darker then that it will just appear as a highlight in the sun. Colors like that are best removed by using a remover like "Malibu CPR" made specifically for direct dyes.

A "developed" or oxidized dye uses the developer to make the dye molecules and your hairs cortex to swell and deposit them permanently into the hair. These colors are very light when first mixed but get darker and turn into the final color result over time. Products like "Color Oops" work on those types of dyes but they only typically remove one or two layers of dye at a time. You mentioned dying your hair dark multiple times so you will need to use it at least 2 and possibly more times to remove all the permanent dye. They do work though. I go from black every Winter/Fall to platinum blonde every Spring/Summer so I can dye my hair fun crazy colors. Without them I would be bald from bleaching so many times. Sorry for the long post but so few people know the difference of dyes and it really helps to know what your doing and use the right products for the result you are looking for.

Also, the powder/crystal sachets are not a marketing ploy to make you feel like you are contributing more. The chemicals used have a very short shelf life when they are mixed. Most are only about an hour and they will no longer work properly because they lose their strength. This is the first time I have watched one of your videos and I just clicked out of curiosity because you came up in a related video search. I know I am about a year late with this information. GAH! I will keep watching your videos though because you are unique and delightful. 😃💟

I was literally getting caught up on your videos today during my break, and then you upload right when I'm relaxing again??? It's fate. Love this! 💖

That orange/copper colour is what it is supposed to lift to. The colour remover does not replace bleach, and you will always have to bleach it after removing the colour. I work at a hair salon and you use colour remover to make your lightening process easier so you don't have to bleach the black out, especially with box dye. Hope this helps :)

Black dye is roughhhh, it really does just stick around forever. When I decided to start doing vivids on the entire top section of my head, I had been dying my hair black, sometimes with box dye, for 10 years. I was only ever able to lift that section to a gingery color, at which point I decided I would do dark colored vivids/a light color transitioning to a darker one until it grew out. Like 2 years later and that entire section has mostly grown out, but it has been a journey lol.

I know you do pretty much only hair content but i’d love to see a makeup video. Your makeup is always so good and unique!

[GosiaPio]

I love the fact that you were so honest about the outcome and that it was not perfect! I think I was missing that in some of your videos where you didn't look happy with the result but you were saying it's amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next :) Keep it real always <3

stella, i growing out my pixie cut since 2020, and when my hair grows a little bit i immediately bleach and dye pink, purple, blue or some bright colors which i love. but after 3 years my hair length is like my shoulder size. that because i had to cut my ends very often because of bleach damage. now 3 year of bleach i stopped. my hair is dark brown rn and its never been healtier. dont listen anybody if you wanna grow your hair because anytime you bleach your hair, ends will be dry and crispy. if you wanna share videos, share about your haircare routine, haircare tips etc. unless you never have loong long hair again. (its okay if you don’t) but im following you for a long time and you dont look happy. dont listen people. be happy please ❤️

I went from blue to pink in 2 days. It was rough, I’m telling you!
Y’all, if you ever want blue hair, be prepared to fight to get that blue hair dye out. It’ll be a long fight, too. Took 2 rounds of direct dye remover, a bleach wash, and 3 bleaches with 6% (20 volume) developer. I’m never using blue or ANYTHING with even so much as a blue undertone *E V E R* again. Had to cut off a bunch due to the bleaches, but I got my desired colour. Just gotta rock a short bob for a while. 💖

Stella i don’t care what you do to your hair it is always amazing!

[ashcybil]

Can I just say I actually love the way it turned out? LOL a lot of people hate the way their hair comes out right after bleach where the roots are lighter and the ends are darker. I wouldn't say it's my favorite hair color, but I think you could totally pull it off until you actually find something to fix it. Idk it kind of has this firey ombre effect that I like.

[irinuca_sv]

This was so satisfying to watch, honestly I like the outcome, you're beautiful as always 😍

[zx-lixf]

i dont' care stella, do whatever you want i will always watch your videos . Your videos are so relaxingg 😍

[mollycatrin]

I can so see a blood red on you, with it styled like a pixie cut 😍

Girl i box dyed my hair black for 2 and a half years every month and i color removed it twice with the color remover you always use back in September and my ends turned pumpkin orange and my roots turned yellow blonde so idk why it wouldn’t work on you. Plus i used to overlap the black dye. Okay i watched the video and your hair looks exactly how my hair looked like 4 months ago when i color removed it twice with Schwarzkopf bond enforcing color remover. Now my hair is mainly blonde or silver (when i use purple shampoo) and i still have like 5 centimeters of very very light orange (it faded alot) left on the top layer of my hair. The rest is all silver now.

Love that smile of yours when you think "oh my gosh what a mess"❤❤
The patchy back surprised me. I don't recall you ever having a patchy part

[Jules..]

Honestly, I love this just as much as I love all of your transformations! I love the light roots with the dark ends and the unevenness of the color on the back of the head. It looks beautifully imperfect! Definitely a vibe. I

[peachdreams]

Stella you need to use an actual colour remover (ColourB4 is my classic go to I've used countless times to remove everything from permanent red and brown to fun colours, and I always get my hair up to at least yellow, and with zero lift to my natural (a true colour remover would not lift your natural virgin hair and should not contain peroxide). The process takes a long time with the wash out stage, which is very important (this is where you wash out the shrunken colour molecules from the hair shaft, if you don't rinse out properly you will just be undoing the colour removal if you bleach or dye it in future. P.s Pink would look cute as always :)

[shade]

Utilize the bright roots and do a neon color root again? ❤

[moriyaamsili]

The eyebrows looks *amazing* in this video idk what's different but OMG
