My ENTIRE Hair Routine (dyeing, curling, brushout!) 

Hi all!!!!! Number one, I MISSED YOU. Second, I will edit the auto-captions first thing tomorrow! Have been editing this video for a good 12 hours now, so I'm pretty sleepy :''') (Also I'm sorry if auto-captions aren't up right away, should be up soon! It takes a bit for RU-vid to make them)

people get so mad when other people who aren’t stylists do their own hair and i will never understand. it’s so much fun cutting my bangs at 3 am and dying it neon peach. does it look good? no. did i satisfy my need to become an entirely new person? yes.

Am I the only one who wants Rachel to do a human version of Lady from "Lady and the Tramp" because of the cocker spaniel comment now?

As someone with very fine naturally blonde(ish) who has used henna exclusively for 12 years (& didn't quite get the hang of it until a good 3-4 years in), I think I might know why you have such a hard time getting your roots to take. Henna needs heat to really cure & bring out those vibrant colors, so: - Use boiling water to mix the henna so it stays hot longer - Use a thick ceramic bowl for mixing, like the kind you might use for baking (again, something that's gonna retain heat longer) & cover it with a towel while it cures to trap heat in - Let it cure in the bowl for no less than 2 hrs (but no more than 4) before you put it on I know it sounds like a lot of hassle but it 100% is not once you're in the habit. My hair is so uniformly red now that I've even fooled anesthesiologists who nervously asked me if I ever had issues coming out of general anesthesia because "that is often an issue for redheads". Give it a shot!

I have naturally really curly and frizzy hair, watching someone put so much effort to get that kind of look is doing SO much for my self esteem right now

Frodo’s post bath side eye is epic.

“whole. ass. hair routine. note the punctuation here. not that kinda video” RACHEL I WASNT EVEN THINKING THAT UNTIL U SAID IT AND NOW I CANT STOP LAUGHING THINKING OF SOMEONE MAKING AN ASS HAIR STYLING TUTORIAL

Me, a real ginger with curly hair: ah, so this is how it works

My daughter wanted to watch you to get inspired.(She's 11) I couldn't remember your last name.I told her to search Rachel vintage hobbit! Success!!

First time I used henna, I didn't warn my partner and he thought I'd smeared poop in my hair. I was also wearing nothing but grocery bags on my arms and wrists. He was frightened.

Me, a ginger with curly hair: Aah, so that's how to become a ginger with curly hair.

I want you to know that it’s completely your fault that I dyed my hair red, bought a sewing machine and am currently riding the struggle bus all the way through making a green pinafore right now! So thank you for inspiring me and damn you for all the red hair dye on my pillow case and the countless straight pin stab wounds on my fingers

As an ancestral henna user, may I recommend you a few tips? Try real leaves, do not mix lemon, do not shampoo or conditioner after rinsing, instead try drying it gritty af and oil it with warm coconut oil and shampoo and condition the next day.

I love Editing Rachel. She’s a totally different person.

I really do appreciate voiceover Rachel, she is very entertaining

Heya!! at the risk of adding to the ton of advice you may already have had to plow through, I’ll just say this. Henna meant for body art is treated in a way to enhance the dark (near black) colour that’s preferred in henna tattoos. For hair, please opt for an organic henna hair mask-it should be ground henna leaves, free from chemicals. It’ll still give you the same rich red, coz that’s the colour of natural henna. And...a metal pan (cast iron) is actually advisable-it makes the colour richer! And, with that, I’ll rest my case. Absolutely love your channel. 💕💕 -from India 🇮🇳

American: *dyes hair ginger to avoid being teased with blonde jokes* Me, an English red head: *laughs in bullying redheads being a national tradition "say sike right now-"*

The hair giraffe is honestly the most stunning piece of art I've ever seen 🤣

As a Moroccan, seeing other people use henna for their hair like my mother does makes me so happy

I found it very bizarre that red hair was called ginger, because ginger is NOT RED OR ORANGE. It's damn pale yellow and I can't stop thinking about this every time someone called red hair "ginger"

Rachel: consistency of a newborns poo Me (someone who works in child care): this is accurate

Rachel brushes curls out: looks absolutely fabulous Me, naturally curly brushing my curls out: look like a ball of hay

As someone who dyes their hair magenta, I can relate to the bathroom massacre. My tub always looks like I've been murdering Muppets.

As someone who does henna for like...20 years probably I can give small tips : - remove your bathroom rug and put a very old and ugly towel instead. And I remove any towel or washcloth of the area to avoid being tempted to grab it, just in case 😂😂 - do your hair dye wearing only panties, black being the better choice, so when you're done, you can get into the shower to rinse the henna that fell into your skin and avoid to have orange spots that will stay for days in the worst case scenario. Prepare black clothes for after the shower. For the upper body, best would be a tank top stretchable enough to be put on by the legs to avoid any risk of putting henna on it, because dry henna crumbs get everywhere.... - like said in the video, the longer the henna stays on your head, the better it dyes your hair and stays afterwards. I leave it on for at least 2 hours. - rinse your hair in a bucket. Henna is very difficult to rinse and it uses a lot of water. I found that using a bucket is way less messier, more efficient and eco-friendly. The biggest issues would be if you're scared of putting your head in the water and you'll probably have a bit of henna in your ears...but it doesn't stay. I fill up and empty my bucket twice and then finish with the shower head. - Everyone does whatever they want, but I always bought henna or natural hair dye that recommend avoiding shampoo at all cost for 18 to 24h, so the color stays better on your hair. I found it to be true but maybe I'm influenced. To get rid of any henna crumbs, put some conditonner or hair mask and leave it on your hair for 5 mn at least. And I'll end up saying it's not a real tips but I'm very lazy when it comes to take care of my hair so I never miss the occasion to put any oil or essential oil or any product that is good for the hair because it will stay on for at least 2 hours :) Anyways, loved the video and (and the fabulous hair color 😍😍😍) the content of the channel all together, very nice feeling of vintage and a lot of fun that I love 😍😍😍😍. And please excuse my english it's not my native language.

Your hair is so gorgeous! I'm middle eastern and have been using henna all my life, a good trick is to mix it with conditioner and hot water (instead of yoghurt), it'll leave your hair way softer! And sitting under the sun or under direct heat helps to speed the process. 30 mins to 1 hour should be enough to dye your hair, but leaving it for longer than that will help strengthen your hair so it's better if you've got the time!

My hair stylist once told me, “A lady doesn’t DYE her hair. She colors it.” It has stuck with me.

Dressed up Rachel is the girl I’d admire from afar, but way too intimidated to befriend. Editing Rachel would be the first person I approach in class to befriend.

Forget the hairdryer, I'm going to lead by Frodo's example and start drying my hair with post-shower zoomies 🤣

me, with an undyed pixie cut who's just really nosy: ooh, rachel's ENTIRE hair routine!!

Rachel: here's a video Me, grabbing my snacks and a blanket: oh?

You need to get yourself some sheer curtains. They add privacy whilst still letting in the light:)

As someone that's been cutting her own bangs and giving herself an undercut since about May of 2020, cutting your own hair definitely gets a lot of unnecessary judgment! You keep rocking your adorable hair tho

Future video suggestion: an interview with Editing Rachel. She seems like an interesting character.

Rachel: *doesn't want to send you on a scavenger hunt Also Rachel: *most videos sponsored by scavenger hunt game Me Watching: *has no hair

when she said “cocker spaniel” i realized how much she looks like lady-

I've been using henna for 5 years now and I love it! I'm a natural brunette and my hair comes out as auburn with the henna. Thanks to henna, I can get away with looking like I just got out high school and fool everyone into thinking that I am not a millennial.

please make a thirty minute asmr montage of you doing your hair on multiple occasions because it is SO beautiful when you brush it out and move it and ugh

Rachel: “Now you can wrap your head like a bowl of guacamole that you’re bringing to a friend’s party knowing full well its gonna turn brown” Me: “But You added lemon!” My favorite thing about this video is all the similies!

I really felt that “never dries. EVER” I felt it in my s o u l

*Rachel being displeased with her bangs* *me crying at how pretty they are*

I’m a hairstylist and I didn’t find any part of this offensive. Would love to try those long rollers. 💛

The look of betrayal on Frodo's face after his bath is a mood. And I love the term "hair noodles"😆

“are all of those chemicals good for my hair? probably not. should i go visit a salon? probably yes. will i do so? absolutely not” is maybe the most me thing anyone has ever said and i legit snorted

This is one of my comfort videos I always turn back to, (especially when I’m dying my hair with henna), it’s like a warm hug!

As a brown girl I second this. My grandmother does this! Also I love the smell of henna

Have we discovered the elusive fourth Rachel?? Normal Rachel, Sponsorship Rachel, Editing Rachel, and now Voiceover Rachel??

I REQUIRED the L’Oréal shampoo when I was little, every other shampoo was bullshit to me bc they weren’t fish shaped

*has natural curls and no intention of dyeing my hair... ...still watches 20+ min video on hair routine because it’s Rachel* 😂💕

Add ginger and cardamom to neutralize the smell. I use a tbsp of each for 300g

That "blonde jokes are just degrading" hit some deep notes there. Glad you're back!

I love that we're seeing all three versions of Rachel in this one video

I've wanted red hair ever since I read Anne of Green Gables as a kid. Your hair is goals. Keep doing what you're doing!

I don’t work in a salon anymore, but I’m a cosmetologist and I’ve never seen anyone add yogurt to henna and that is so smart!! Part of why I don’t work in a salon anymore is because I developed a really bad allergy to PPD which then evolved to being allergic to almost all hair dye. So to anyone trying this very cool idea, do a patch test 24 hours before trying a new hair color.

Incredibly high levels of both cosiness and chaos in this video A true Rachel ✨classic✨

Rachel: I started doing it this way because it kind of mimics the curling iron... me: barrel? Rachel: SHAFT me: oh

love the whole “filming urself narrating” it’s a fun new perspective

Always love your videos, thank you! Just thought I’d share (re: “no tears” kid shampoo) that one of my friend’s sisters thought that “no tears” shampoo meant that if she put it in her eyes, she would never cry again...

Why am I, a natural ginger, considering dying my hair with henna? You can never be too ginger

Desk Rachel seems to be a treasure we haven’t experienced in full yet. I love it!😂

Also, I really love the little touches in the editing in this video, especially the narration style and cutaways to narrating/editing Rachel! It was really fun and entertaining to watch and I appreciated it!

I haven’t heard the word “futz” in FOREVER!!!! This made me so happy!!!!

When I used to die my hair with henna I realised using a whisk or even better an electrical mixer makes it less clumpy/much smoother :) also mixing it with hot black tea and then letting it cool down a little bit before applying intensified the colour

Me: *Sees Rachel's long, luscious hair and bouncy curls* Also me: *Screams in quarantine mullet that's too short for rollers*

Hey Rachel! Just wanted to let you know that you have helped me so much on my vintage journey. I was a filthy casual when I first ran into you, and you helped me out with the silhouette! Though my color palette may be different, you’ve helped so much, and I enjoy watching your videos ☺️

your hairs so gorgous im actually tearing up like STOP BEING A VINTAGE MOVIE QUEEN 😡 edit: THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING OFFFF her hair looks like sleeping beautys except even prettier 🌸

As someone with naturally curly hair, and has never used curlers, watching her brush it out STRESSED me out. I just... the horror... the frizz that dry brushing my hair causes.

I love that Editing Rachel™ now gets an entire screen for her snarky shenanigans! And the handwritten, (digitally written? digitally-by-hand-written?), annotations are absolutely choice. So glad to have you back

This has become a comfort video for me 💖

thank you so much for this! Those cozy rollers look waaaaay comfier. I have been such a fan of yours (and your hair) for a long time! Sending lots of happy thoughts

Rachel: And now that the henna is looking like the Bog of Eternal Stench... Me, who gets the reference, knowing that it's not the first time she has referenced Labyrinth: ... who are you that is so wise in the ways of movies?

Rachel: Hair routine aesthetic Me: leaves hair alone to do it OWN THING

Thank you Rachel for including Frodo’s hair routine, it made my morning.

The final color is perfect. No one can't tell apart ❤️I'm about to follow this routine as I've been wanting to dye my hair this ginger color for long now! 😀

That Labyrinth reference was *chef's kiss*, and as a fan of the movie, I thank you for your service ✨👏😩

I cant be the only one who thought her hair was natural at first xD Edit: thanks for all the likes 😳😳

I live for your hair routine videos. You have the only beautiful "orange" hair I'm always trying to achieve. I also can't wait to try these large foam curlers. Keep doing what you do, you are amazing!

You aesthetic is EVERYTHING. You inspire me to be myself, and to enjoy fashion. Thank you for your content!

As a hairstylist who is a natural light blonde, and had my hair colored red for 5 years, I thoroughly support your Henna journey ;) remember what you put in when you mix will affect the final color... I always wanted my more red than orange, I mixed in red wine, warm water and even some redirect dye... I never had issues with it clinging to the roots ( I have other colors that won’t stick like Elumen). Those overtone color conditioners ( or other color conditioners) work like a charm when the glow goes of the hair, and prolonge the color... maybe you could even get away with only coloring you roots and using overtone on your lenghts... I have a tip for your rollers... if you hate those plastic clips ( in my hair they always left with marks from the plastic) just cut them outs use a bit of cabbage and stick it through the hole - so next time you just tie the fabric and bye bye to those pesky marks on the roots ;) And I always support my clients cutting their own bangsand try to teach them doing it on their own....... and I only have one tip.... if you switch up where you cut, and start with a little at a time, it should work better.... I love that you cut them with thinning shears, it gives a softer tip... but other than that... cut on the underside of the fingers, that gives you more control over where you cut and how short it gets! If you want more tips, I can give you one more.... start with a small section about an inch wide, right where your part line is, or if you switch it up, tight in the middle.... let that section fall down and find out where you want the shortest length to fall, and cut either with your thinning shears, or point cut vertical with the tip of a normal pair of shears.... that gives you a guide to work from.... now you take a section of your sidebangs and do the same thing... if you do one side at a time you can take the cut side and the uncut side, pull it out right in front of you face, meeting in the middle, and that gives you a guide for the other sidebang.... finally you just connect the to guides through the rest of your bang, one side at a time.. A pro tip - always cut less off than you think in the first go.... as you discovered, it’s easier to cut more later ;)

That interlude for Frodo’s hair routine is one of the best things I’ve seen

First time watching you, but I subscribed right away because you're a natural on camera and have great comedic timing. Your personality also seems so genuine, which is like finding a unicorn on RU-vid these days.

Why do all dogs get the zoomies immediately after having a bath? Does the water short circuit something in their little doggie brains, or is it just that they've been made to sit still and now all the energy has built up like a hyperactive toddler?

just adding this as another voucher for henna: been dyeing my hair with it for 8 years. i also use box dye first to lift my roots bc my hair is naturally medium brown, but i just use a nondescript dark blonde for that, bc i like my red to be a shade or two darker than rachel’s. i prepare my henna with only warm water (apparently letting it simmer can destroy the pigments, so i’m always careful abt that), then i use one of those electric hand mixers to make it real smooth bc i does tend to clump. then i just let it sit for a bit and periodically test it by putting a little on my hand and waiting a couple minutes-if it leaves a very orange stain, it’s good to go. i apply it to dry hair just to make it easier to see where i’m putting it, wrap it and sleep in it. then wash in the morning and voilà. that has never damaged my hair, on the contrary. HOWEVER, i can’t stress enough that it is permanent. like “forever” type of permanent. no bleach will get rid of it and it *will* destroy your hair to try it. believe me, i’ve tried. oh, and to me henna just smells like herbal tea. ☺️ i’ve definitely smelled worse hair things. lol

I bought Overtone rose gold, and orange just recently and totally thought of you and your gorgeous hair...So funny to see it in this video as I watch it. ...Thank you for being the guiding star I never knew I needed🌟❤️

Yeeeey, so happy you’re back! And your bangs look perfectly fine, don’t worry 🧡✨

This video is EXTREMELY meta for the Rachel Maksy canon!!!😂

the clips of your narration is my new favorite thing

I love the new editing style for voice overs, frankly this whole video was A+ hilarity. Happy new year!

The sleek waves you started doing are absolutely gorgeous! Wow! Also the hair art speaks to me.

Rachel: *talking about how cutting her own hair gives her a sense of control.* Me: A Mood.

My partner, who couldn’t care less about anything beauty related watched this entire video because you are so entertaining.

after seeing how cute your curls came out I found some rollers some one gave me and tried to install them (with a lot of help from my mom); can't wait to see how they turn out!

Seeing the outtakes of you recording your narrations in different tones is honestly so validating because any time I’ve tried to record myself I just get to embarrassed and the cringe factor makes me stop. I would love if you did a bts on your video making process one day.

It's funny, everyone talks about how messy henna is, but IME it's *much* less messy than direct dyes (type Arctic Fox, Manic Panic etc.)! They really stain everything immediately, whereas henna doesn't. I *love* henna, also the smell, to me it smells like black tea more than anytihing else :) (I'd buy a henna perfume if someone made it!) But don't use it anymore as the colour is not the most flattering for me, as I'm naturally cooler toned, so orange hair isn't really the best for me. Also, my hair doesn't hold curl at all if hennaed...

The voiceover Rachel brought me an outrageous amount of joy

You are a breath of fresh air girl! I'm fixing to do Henna for the first time at 50. I'm going for that Beautful red orange or orange red I can't decide.

You are one of the RU-vidrs who inspired me in 2020 to begin (re)growing my hair out so I can do awesome vintage and braided hairstyles--I did have to give up the fake ginger life because it was wrecking my scalp after 5 years, but I'm learning to appreciate my natural hair color. Thank you for all the content during the dumpster fire of the past year, and onward to better days!

The “whole ass hair routine” joke caught me by surprise, so I laughed with a mouth full of pretzels and nearly choked. 😂

guys is a gender neutral/ fluid term, don't feel bad using it! ♡

I really like how the bangs turned out, actually! They're perkier when you curl them, and the "sexy cool rachel" vibes are definitely there :^)

I - We do understand Rachel. When I talk to people personally or through Zoom I need my hands and arms free so that I can talk and express better, too. And I definitely enjoyed this whole hair dying tutorial, I love your sense of humor, and Frodo's bath and hair redo and his sense of humor. I am glad to see you so happy! I hope all is well and happy New Year to you and your small family! 💖💖💖💖
