my guide to healthy colored hair ❤️ FAQ & haircare routine 

when she said "really expensive I was expecting $200 but it's only $50 for that huge thing!!! so excited to try it out and not have lil hairs sticking out every where

As a hairstylist I love the way you explained everything from the perspective of a relatable client/ hair color experimenter if you will. You made it so easy to understand and all trustworthy advise thank you👏👏

For those with CURLY HAIR who want to dye their hair ❤️ (warning very long) I’ve had colored hair for mannny years and have gone both the at home route and professional route I’ve had blue, purple, gray, lavender, watermelon pink, and currently have school bus yellow hair Having curly hair is already more upkeep than those with straight hair so your already halfway there! If your nervous I always suggest to do it when else are you going to the only person stopping you is YOU! plus hair grows back if you don’t like it it can always be turned back At home: it can be tricky to do so I highly suggest doing lots of research using the wrong developers can ruin your hair, doing your roots is HARD 😤 you don’t want to overlap already proceed hair, miss places or have your hair develop unevenly, or be patchy Professional: after a year of doing my hair at home I switched to a salon and have been loyal to my stylist for years now. Need to know: your hair texture WILL change. Your curl pattern WILL change. BUT with the right products AND upkeep you can have beautiful unicorn healthy curly hair AVOID: parabens, sulfates, SILICONES Using deep conditioners, oils, and treatments (at home and at salon) will keep your hair alive I recommend briogeo deep conditioning mask (I use this as conditioner) Any natural oil will also help I.e. coconut, Marula, jojoba, caster, Etc. (Also apply oil when hair is went & when hair is dry before brushing it will help lessen breakage) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND olaplex no. 3 it’s an at home product that repairs the bonds in your hair use 15min-overnight Olaplex and B3 are in salon treatments that use bond building technology to realllly repair your hair

Finally I can dye my hair without it looking like straw >:)

Number one : having strong asian hair

Would you possibly be able to list the items in the description box?

from a recent cosmetology grad this is all very good solid advice! very easy to follow for people new to color

you look gorgeous with every color wowee kazowee

0:05 0:11 I think the grey and black-blue hair fits you best, it looks so gooood 😍

I didn't know that growing out your roots for more than 4-6 weeks could cause this fuzzy little hair situation I have fully bleached hair (I am blond) and I usually touch my roots up after something around 3 months, because my hair doesn't grow too fast but still, I always have these little hairs. In general I have really weird hair and even had some breakage around my roots when I didn't have bleached hair and always thought well, that's just the way my hair has always been but now I'm not too sure about that anymore

Just bleached my whole head 2 weeks ago and your hair always looks so good so.... I might have just bought everything you said was great on amazon hahaha Thanks a lot for sharing! 💕💕💕

Thanks Mei !! ive had blue hair for 2 years and want to go red and am transitioning with purple right now so I'm definitely gonna take your tips and also try out some products you recommended ♡ Glad to see you again 💕💕

DO NOT GET BLUE OR GREEN, it will freaking stick to your hair forever

Who would dislike this video😭 thanks for sharing girl!! I've learned SO much too over the years I've been blonde, my hair has come a longggg way!!! It's so healthy and long now and the steps are so simple but we just don't think about it, very grateful it's the way it is now✨🖤

My hair is just damaged I don’t dye it it’s just damaged

I wanna bleach my hair but im really scared that i will ruin my hair :(

I’m getting my hair dyed for the first time next Friday and I’m so nervous!!! I have Asian hair so I’m tryna watch as many videos as I can. Love you mei xx

I did the dumb mistake of dying my hair red and then just hopping straight to blue, so yeah that was wild experience lmao

I’ve been wanting to dye my hair and omg you are A GODSEND! Looking back at your photos is truly giving me some inspiration and courage to do it! 💕

I don't plan on bleaching my hair any time soon but you bet I watched this without skipping 😔🤙

Omg I loveeee this video. I’ve dyed my hair for many years now and people always say to me, “I wanna dye my hair, but I don’t want to ruin and damage my hair!” And I’m always like, dying your hair doesn’t mean you’re damaging it! So now if someone asks how to not damage their hair I’ll just tell them to watch this lol

Thank you a lot for this video! I usually don't even watch "beauty videos", but this one was great. It's nice to listen to you and I never heard about hair masks before. I do use oil daily, just like you, and I'll definitely try your oil next! Probably the hair mask too, and maybe even the wet brush lol. Your hair really looks great, especially for dying it for such a long time. I just went back to my natural colour after dying it for years, too. But I'll probably cut it short in hopes it'll recover better then.

In this video she looks so much like jungyeon from twice! Both of them are absolutely gorgeous

I'm Asian and I bleached my hair myself. It looks good but you can imagine the damage 😂 I ordered the wetbrush but I never thought it would work so well ! Thank you so much !!

This was super helpful. I have dyed my hair quite a few times and every time I bleach my hair. It causes a lot of breakage and my hair feels so dry. I have been trying a bunch of different products and hair routines that just haven’t worked. So, thank you so much!

oh my god i love the wet brush its literally the best i've been using one for about 2 years now and its so great

***MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS AN ALT COLORED HAIR PERSON, LONG POST(?)*** coming from someone who's had blue hair for i think about three years? i started off bleaching my hair DIY when i was in high school using a mixture of baking soda and peroxide. i didn't have a job, too young lol and was very antsy to have colored hair someday. i have very dark hair and it slowly lightened through all the levels of blonde until i had a dirty orangey blonde. eventually my roots were too long and i got my hair professionally bleached~ and then to save money i would bleach my roots myself every 8 weeks and also color it. however, i had a goal of wanting to have very long hair as well. ive been growing my hair out from a pixie cut (it's now bra strap level lol yay me) HOWEVER it is so damn hard bleaching your roots yall~~ and it's never any less stressful. i have first hand experienced hair falling out for days, by using the wrong level of bleach developer and over processing it. painful scalp. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE ALL OF MY HAIR GUYS. scary experience. you will _always_ get breakage no matter how careful you are, or experienced. also my hair processes fast, so i will never achieve it being even all the way around my scalp. also sometimes i work 2 jobs at a time, i aint got time for that lmao. i've now switched to getting my roots done professionally, but i do the coloring myself to save money, and because it's my favorite part:) you don't want bleach overlap trust me!! you want to minimize damage to have beautiful hair. 70 bucks isn't bad of a commitment, and maybe in your area you're lucky and have cheaper prices than i do!! take care i hope i helped somebody lmao

Currently going through breakage because I too waited too long to bleach my roots 😭 I’m going to go for a more low maintenance look now haha. Thanks for keeping it realistic and actually giving out good hair information!

I used to let my mum dye my hair and it looked like a mess, so after a long time i decided to go to a Salon to dye my hair, and it was lifechanging I am so happy with my hair now, and they used really good products that didn't damage my hair much If there is a really good salon around, i'd say its totally worth the money but always remember to take care of your hair too

Do not only use a bond repairing treatment. You need to use moisture treatments as well. Bond repairing can only do so much on its own and moisturizing can only do so much on its own. Best advice is cycle through bond repair, protein, and moisture so there's balance. You also do not need to splurge on colored conditioners/treatments like overtone because as long as it's a direct dye you can mix your own with your preferred conditioner/mask and exact color you used on your hair. Avoiding heat styling helps. For after washing hair, do a mix of water based products and a fatty product over to lock in moisture as well(this depends on texture and density of hair though. My hair is pretty thin and a little wavy so i dont put a lot of products in after washing but a little def helps). Avoid sulfates and silicones in your hair too. Your hair has nice even color but looks so stiff in a lot of videos (which honestly cant be helped because bleach is a bitch no matter how much before and after care you do 😥)

Thank you sfm for sharing your tips with us! I've had longglonglong virgin hair my 24 years of life and just recently decided to bleach and dye the bottom half end purple! For years I've been getting broken ends and brushing my tangled hair to death and now that it's bleached I've been searching for what to use to upkeep my color and basically how to rejuvenate it as it's been fading! So again- THANK YOU💕 Im really dying to try out the hair masks and hair oils!!

You don’t even know how bad I needed this video

I’m so glad I found this video since we have the same hair type and your hair is so pretty and healthy looking

I really want to dye my hair for the first time, so thank you a lot!

Yeaaay, been dyeing hair for a couple of months now. This is very insightful! I have faded blue, its almost gone now and Im planning to have pink hair cause of you hahaha luv u 💞

I just got my hair done and chose a dove gray color (ash with blue tones) and surprisingly, not much of my hair fell off from the bleaching process 😂 the hairstylist told me that Im lucky since my hair is healthy 😂

I really want to dye my hair pink but I'll have to bleach it first and i dont want to ruin my hair :( Thanks a lot for sharing this video! It was really helpful

I loved this video so much! It was so informative to me bc I love to dye my hair and have made mistakes like those but I'm slowing learning. I'm starting to plan hair styles in advanced, added oils (I use Moroccan Oil) to my routine, started using hair masks (I use Overtone The Remedy which I would love for you to test), and I bought Wet Brushes. I definitely am going to try what you suggested! I remember when my hair was so damage I got out of the shower and my hair when it dried a little would feel sticky and soft and would stick to my hand if I pressed it against it. I think that's what you experienced too. Love this video again! I hope to see more videos bc I love you so much!

Perfect timing ive been needing a color change but its already been bleached but I need it to chaaaaaangeeee so happy to see you post ofc lysm!!~ 💕

just realized that your P.o. box is in city of industry and that we both go to mindy for our hair >.< she’s really the best 💖 also i’m so glad i watched this video bc i almost decided to go for an electric blue in my next session!!

Planning to dye my hair again💖 thanks for this guide mei♡

we seem to have a similar hair type which makes me happy bc it's so hard to find videos for hair care for my specific hair 0v0

It's a good thing I only want the lower half of my hair dyed red. I have straight, thick, coarse black Chinese hair and I couldn't handle the upkeep of a full bleach/color. I travel a lot and hate having to go in all the time XD

Thanks for talking about this! I have grown out all of my bleached hair, but I will go back to a unnatural color this year around, so this video came just at the right time!

thank you for making this video!! I really want to dye my hair so it was helpful!

could you tell me more about how you went to orange to pink? i had orange hair and it was almost impossible for me to get pink hair (it is kinda pink, but i never got to the pastel pink color that i wanted because my hair is always in a orange hue) and i really wanted to know how you did it, you’re amazing and this video really helped me, unfortunately i won’t be able to get the products, but thanks for sharing ❤️

I’m dying my hair purple for the first time in a few weeks, and this video was really helpful! I have thin hair that gets greasy easily so I wash it everyday, but I know that’s only making my hair produce more oil. I also sweat a lot, so I'm hoping that by getting an ombre it will help me maintain the color for longer. I also think I might out try some hair oil even though it sounds kind of counter productive lol.

Thank you so much for this~! Dying your hair isn't going to absolutely, positively destroy it, lol. It's all about making sure that you know your limitations when it comes to doing the job yourself. Always conduct your own personal research, and really make sure that you know your own hair!

I know this is out of topic but, DANG you’re pretty ;0;

7:50 color mask 10:04 1-aura therapy diamante pura regenerating fluid 2-hbl treatment oil {cheaper but yellow}

This makes me really miss the years i had unnatural hair colors but sadly i cant financially maintain that anymore 💔 i think about at least dying my hair jet black with a blue ombre but i still dont think i could feasibly maintain that hairstyle still 💔 alsoo for those who want this lifestyle of colored hair...realistically and speaking from my own experience: your hair WILL be damaged. It is completely unavoidable. Yes you can nurture and care for it with the tips from the video but your hair WILL be processed, dry and overall unhealthy despite your best efforts. Its a lie to believe it will be suuuuuper healthy after bleach. Sorry to say this but its a reality check.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't use conditioner, and my natural hair is very dry hair masks and hair oil saved my hair, conditioner is too weak for me

you look so much like suwa nanaka omg you're so beautiful and so is your hair

You are so gorgeous i love your hair!!!

Random vid request: If you are willing and ready, can you show us your new home? Even just your room is fine, I am very curious to see how you decorated your place ^^

I went full pink 2 years ago and with my life style it was hard to keep up with retouching, so I’m resetting my hair now. Plan on going for an ombré into ashy silver. Dark Asian hair is a struggle

thank you so much i've been dying these past days because of how borken and damaged my hair is and you might just have saved my life!

Thank you so much!!! I bleached my hair at a top salon but i have really bad breakage... So i hope that those products will help even just a little😍😍❤️

Watching this even though i have an Afro with fine strands and would never go near bleach 🤣🤣 Just love your voice Also the way your hair behaves bleached(dry and breaking. Needs hair masks and hair oils) is how my hair behaves on a normal day 😂

I want to just explain what Mei was talking about further when she said when you bleach your hair or get it professionally done you need to realize what that means. Once you bleach your hair your base color is always gonna be platinum, light blonde, or brassy blonde (depending on how well you bleach and tone your hair at home) mixed with whatever color you put on top of that bleached hair and after a few washes, eventually that color will have a faded look even if you do protect the color. On top of this, if you color your hair an unnatural color and then decide to go back to a more natural color, that natural color will fade and not look as good at you root hair color. Your hair will never look even until you cut off the bleached parts of your hair. I also want to express the bleaching process is the most important process to getting nice even colored hair. You cannot have patchy blonde hair or brassy/orange tones in your hair or else when you color your hair purple, blue, green, etc. it will come out patchy and not as vibrant not only that but you may not get the color you desired if you don't take out all the orange and very yellow tones. If your doing bleaching at home (which I don't recommend honestly because it never comes out great your first time) PLEASE be prepared to maybe bleach your hair twice if the first bleaching didn't take out the orange tones. I also don't recommend bleaching your hair twice in the same session. Wait at least one or two hair washing cycles. Make sure your hair is as dirty as you can possibly handle before you bleach. One thing that has personally helped with preventing hair damage when bleaching is Olaplex or something equivalent to Olaplex. Just ask a beauty store for it, they should know what you're talking about. Put this in the bleach before you bleach your hair and it will maintain the integrity of your hair. BUT even better is to just get it professionally done because your hair will most likely never have that salon quality look. At least let a professional bleach your hair.

This is the video I've been waiting for!

Very informative!!! You are so pretty btw and I love your hair 🤩

I'm going pink tomorrow and I'm terrified but also very excited. It's my first time playing with color and I'm just hoping all goes well :' )

I missed seeing her piercings HAHA

you should try homemade/natural hair masks! like an avocado or egg yolk mask :P it doesn’t sound that good but it works!!

Your hair is amazing!!

this is what i was looking for! Thank you!

this is what I needed!! My hair would always get into knots and feel so dead

this was SUCHH a helpful video, thx for sharing :) x

i reallyyy want to dye my hair half black/half blonde, but idk if i should do it? hmmm

The video I've been waiting for☺

I got a shampoo brush for the shower, cost a $1 at the dollar store and all my hair stopped falling out in the shower I thought it was the hair dye! My hair is baby pink like yours in this video and it grows faster too since I started using a shampoo brush.

Hi! I want to know if bleach will in any way affect the colour of your roots

yes you talked about everything that i would have said!! people always expect blue hair to fade very quick and are confused when it turns green but i mean ??? isn't that obvious!? anyways thank you for sharing this xx

also what happened to your lip piercing??

This is also a life-saving video for me☺😍 thank you so much😍💕💖

this was super helpful!!

GUYS GUYS THE HAIR STUFF SHE MENTIONED IS ON SALE FOR 19$$$ RN :000

i wish i saw this video earlier. i waited for months and let my roots grow really long so i now i have a lot of breakage, my hair falling out. do you think i should continue to bleach my roots then or should i stop completely because i dont want to end up losing all my hair

thank you!! this was so informative ♥️

I want purple ombre hair highlights.

I dont't know if this video will help cause i will dye my hair pink (Sukuna) on my bday and i know all hairs are different, and i wanna know how to take care of it throughly and what products to use specifically and ETC.

do you have any salon recommendations you go to in la?

So what I've heard is changing colour, is to follow the colour wheel. Hope that helps

you should do an updated piercing video!

so when you bleach all of your hair, you cant go back to the original hair bc you need to retouch the roots all the time? sorry i dont get it😭

MY question: My was a professional hair stylist at a salon before she moved to America. Should SHE dye my hair this summer?

Good I like the grunge aesthetic 😂

your voice is so soothing uwu

When I want to switch from blue I add pink to make it purple (light purple). For some reason purple fades a lot. I'm constantly redoing my hair. I don't do anything with yellow undertones because that is sooo hard to get out. Thanks for the tips on softer hair.

Is black hair supposed to be able to be bleached to blonde in one sitting? I've gotten my hair bleached twice now and it's still a medium to dark brown and I can't do anything with it. Should I ask my stylist next time to use the strongest bleach/developer she has

lol im watching this video after leaving toner in my hair for too long :^( now i look like trunks from dbz with blue-silver hair 💙💙💙

I had very dark black hair and I went bleach blonde but for the longest time I wanted to do pastel pink so I did it and ever since I colored my hair pink I started seeing so much more damage than I did with the blonde so I’m just going to suck it up and buy everything you just recommended because the split and dried hair and breakage everywhere got so bad this past month. 😭 my left side of my hair from the front is so much shorter than the right side (uneven) and the layers 😢 I’m so embarrassed but I still want pink !

best video on youtube

What dye do you/your salon use to get this pink coral colour i love it so much!

I'm gonna dye my hair peekaboo style, which is gonna be up to the root. But i'm not planning to do touchup so should i still be worried about the breakage? (My hair is not dyed at the moment, except for 1 small streak of 6 months old blonde)

I'm thinking about buying the fanola diamante oil but I'm not too worried about a yellow tint with the hbl oil since I have olive green / yellow hair. Is there a significant difference between them ? :)

Do you have tips how can I get a lot of volume on my colored hair without heat and products ? Because I used many products and heat protections but nothing helped

Love u mei 💝
