00:00Hair makes me feel a little anxious, to be honest.
00:02I've only gotten my hair cut by one person,
00:05and it was a very bad experience.
00:07Letting somebody else touch my hair is kind of a big deal.
00:11My name is Erin, and today I'm going
00:13to transform this stick straight dry mess
00:15into some luscious, beautiful curls.
00:19I'm a mom from LA and a makeup artist.
00:21When I was younger, my mom used to do my hair
00:23until I was about 12 years old.
00:25She'd flat iron it every single weekend.
00:27My mom used to be really strict
00:29about me doing anything with my hair,
00:31but when I cut it up to my shoulders after it being waist length,
00:33she just saw me from a distance, and her mouth dropped,
00:36and she cried as though I just died.
00:38These days, I will straighten it sometimes,
00:40but I try not to too much because I don't want it
00:42to get more damaged, so when I do it curly,
00:43it'll last for like a couple of days.
00:45I've heard about the Olopex treatment before.
00:47I've never tried it, but I definitely need to
00:49because I just tried to bleach my own hair by mistake,
00:53and I really damaged it.
00:54It's been five years since I had my daughter,
00:56and I used to be the type of person
00:58that would change my hair color every month, maybe.
01:01I had every single color, and I haven't.
01:03It's just been black and plain for a long time,
01:05and I just lightened it, and I'm kind of like opening up
01:07to having a new style again, and out of all the millions
01:09of colors I've had, I've never done blonde.
01:11I've never had a curl treatment before,
01:13so I think this is going to be pretty awesome
01:15to have my hair look how it should look back
01:18to its natural state.
01:20I just want the world to know with this new hairstyle
01:22that I am a bad bitch.
01:26I'm Justin Anderson, and I'm a hair colorist here
01:28at the DP Hue house in Los Angeles, California.
01:31I'm also the co-founder of the DP Hue hair product line.
01:34Hey there, how's it going?
01:36Good, how are you?
01:37I'm Justin.
01:37Nice to meet you again.
01:38Good to meet you.
01:39Welcome to the DP Hue house.
01:41Thank you so much.
01:42I never let anybody do my hair or my makeup,
01:44and so it is a little bit nerve-wracking to trust someone else
01:47to get their fingers all up in this, but we'll see how it goes.
01:53All right, so I'm just going to kind of change up your color a bit.
01:55I'm going to keep you nice and light,
01:57but I'm going to make it as natural as possible,
01:59and I'm going to do that by keeping you kind of natural at the root
02:03and making the blonde pieces be everything that kind of frames your face.
02:06I don't want you to have like a solid line when it grows in,
02:09so months after seeing me, I still want it to look kind of believable,
02:13natural, so that you're not a slave to the salon.
02:25So right in here, I'm just kind of evening up where the color got a little blotchy before.
02:30It looks like there's kind of some panels in here that I'm just kind of going through
02:34and evening it out, and so this is kind of the lightening process,
02:38and then we'll go back through, and we will soften your base color.
02:49All right, so we got all the highlights in.
02:51Now we're going to go in between the foils and do the root color,
02:54and what that's going to do is just soften your natural color and kind of blend the highlights
02:59together before we go in and lighten up all those tips.
03:17This is the last time I remember touching my own hair again for the rest of my life.
03:20Okay, so we have the base color on in between the foils, kind of blending everything together,
03:26and now I'm going to go through and lighten up those ends to get those nice bright tips.
03:30So excited.
03:47Do I look like fat bitch?
03:49All right, so all the foils are in.
03:51We just put in these tips, so we're going to go ahead and heat up those ends with the diffuser
03:56on the blow dryer to get those to catch up to the top, and then everything will be rinsed out,
04:01and you'll get your final gloss.
04:02Yes, I can't wait to see it.
04:31Then, after we washed everything out, we glossed our hair all over to kind of seal in the color,
04:36add a bunch of extra shine.
04:37All right.
04:55Hey.
04:55Hey, how are you?
04:57I'm good.
04:57I'm Tiffy Shorter.
04:59Nice to meet you.
04:59Nice to meet you.
05:00So I'm going to cut and style, and I wanted to allow your hair to dry naturally so I can
05:05see what I'm
05:06cutting, and you see that like on this side, it's a little curlier, this side less curly,
05:10so I will compensate for that in the cuts.
05:23So we just established your shape.
05:25It looks amazing.
05:26So now I'm just going to wet you down, apply some product, diffuse, and finish.
05:46Oh my gosh, it's incredible.
05:49How beautiful.
05:51This is so good.
05:57Wow, this color is gorgeous.
05:59I've never had my curls be so perfect before.
06:02I can't believe it's healthier than when we started.
06:06Working with Erin was a lot of fun today.
06:08To be honest, her hair was a little bit close to being damaged, so I wanted to make sure to
06:12use
06:13really, really gentle products.
06:15Using Olaplex in the color really helped keep her hair super healthy, but still get it to the
06:21light color that I wanted it to be.
06:23Also, anytime you're going lighter with your blonde, you want to make sure to keep those
06:26brights really, really bright by using a product like the Cool Blonde shampoo and conditioner.
06:31That'll neutralize any yellow in your hair and make sure the blonde stays super, super bright.
06:36My experience was unbelievable, actually.
06:40Have you ever seen someone do a magic trick and it stumped you and haunted you for weeks, days, years?
06:48Justin.
06:49He's a magician.
06:50He's amazing.
06:51He's such a sweet person and, like, do you see what he did, right?
06:55I think this is the first time my hair has ever been amazing and it's a complete transformation.
07:00My curls actually look moisturized.
07:03They're the same everywhere.
07:05It's kind of remarkable.
07:07Nubar has been sad.
07:08I will never touch Box dye ever again.
07:10I swore to Justin.
