This is my second attempt at trying to remove Arctic Fox Transylvania black hair dye without bleach!!! Last episode I used Vitamin C and clarifying shampoo which faded the back hair dye to a dark shade of blue, and after seeing all your comments recommending I try Color Oops, I decided to give it a go! What do you think of the results? I'm so excited to go back to red hair from here!!!

You used to be an extreme anti-cager for Archie, and now, I never see him flying about, out, or in your videos on you :(
i've had to respond to this hundreds of times so I might have to start putting a disclaimer in my videos. Archie is going through parrot puberty right now and is extremely aggressive. I'm covered in scars from where he's taken chunks out of my skin. Our vets advice was to limit our physical contact with him during this hormonal period so as not to trigger the aggression. Birds are complicated animals, and anyone that's owned a large parrot like Archie knows exactly what we're going through right now. He does come out of his cage, but we have to be on the other side of the room to him when he's out, or else he will lunge at us. He's almost taken out my eye a few times in the last few months. You literally have no idea how painful it is for me to own a pet I love so dearly, that acts so sweetly when he's inside his cage, to just suddenly turn on a dime and become murderous. He growls, screams, scratches, lunges, takes huge chunks out of my skin leaving me bleeding for hours. Being a parrot owner isn't all fun and games, and it really hurts my feelings when I read comments like this.
@@PrettyPastelPlease I knew it had to be something! You were always such a good bird mommy!
@@PrettyPastelPlease I didn't mean to hurt your feelings though. I'm sorry
@@PrettyPastelPlease Might have to educate us with a video. I hope people aren't being too harsh
Kaili Meguire people are being horrible, I’ve read that many comments saying I’m an animal abuser, they say “she got the bird and then got bored of it so threw it in a cage and never touched it again”. People even leave comments speculating I’ve killed him and that’s why he’s not in my videos any more. It really does my head in 😪
Here's the thing about all these "one application" products... You can't save it for later once it's mixed, but you can measure out portions of it and mix it in a separate container to use some and save the rest for later, particularly if you have very short or very thin hair, or are doing streaks or highlights, and don't need to use it all.
yes! ive done this exact thing before. i was trying to ombre my hair so i bought a brown for the top and blonde for the bottom. my hair is just past my shoulders but very thin so 1 bottle total would be plenty. i mixed up half of each color in separate bowls so i could save the other half for another time. otherwise i would of been throwing away a lot of unused product.
@Tianna Elizalde The box instructions try to explicitly make you think you can't do this so that you waste product and have to buy more, so it isn't your fault at all
The reason it didn’t work on Archie’s feathers is because blue/green color in animals is almost always a structural color, so no color molecules so shrink and wash out!
was just about to write exactly that and now I don't have to 🙇🏻♀️
Was coming to say this 👆😁 glad in not the only one who thought of it
Archie's almost perfect mimicry of Alex's voice saying hello in her clear Aussie accent is a mood. I love it. A good reminder of how amazing the current dinosaurs are 🥰
I was thinking the same!
8:20 "mummy's not crazy, she's just alittle unwell"..
Gosh Alex your videos make my day
Make sure the smell is completely out of your hair before you dye it because it can go darker if you use developer. I’ve had my hair turn black from blonde so be careful and use clarifying shampoo or Malibu C clarifying crystals to get that product completely out of your hair before you dye it 💕
I used color oops and then tried to bleach my hair and it turned black 🤣
Not true, you just need to follow the instructions to the letter and do all of the shampooing/rinsing they tell you to. What it does is open the hair follicle and swell the dye molecules so they can slip out of the hair. The rinsing and washing ensures that they are all removed before you finish and the hair closes back up.
@@AriannaGi k(kkkkkkk(
@@jessicawilson8240 that is how it works but color oops is the worst color remover you could use imo. It never fully rinses out no matter how long or how hot the water is. If your options are bleach or color oops you should honestly just bleach it.
Hairdresser here! Malibu C is amazing! Good job!
If you color your hair the same day you remove the color oops your hair will redarken because the developer will enlarge the color molecules that are still left in your hair. I would highly recommend waiting two days and washing it twice each day and then doing it for you to get the shade that is on the box of hair dye. This is coming from a girl who has been on a similar journey to you and has used color oops many times. 💞💞💞
yes this!! or just use a semi-permanent dye or toner on top of what you've got. any chemical process including developer runs the risk of displaying the color molecules remaining again.
But that only applies to permanent hair color
Semi permanent hair color doesn't go into your hair folicule it's only on top of it so...
So here’s the thing! The hair that’s coming back to your natural red is the hair that hasn’t been lightened before. The bit of blue/green that’s left is left on the ends is the parts that were originally processed with the lightener, hence why it looks blond with certain angles. It looks amazing and you can DEFF see the healthy parts of your hair and the overly porous ends that have been overly processed. Looks amazing but I am excited to see what you do next☺️
If you can buy Schwarzkopf in Australia, I HIGHLY recommend trying their colour remover too, if you can’t get your hands on colour oops. It has bond builder (like olaplex) built in and counteracts the low level developer (have to buy that separately)
You can buy the colour remover in a pack of 5 - that’s what I got cuz I have a ton of hair… and I used 3 of the packs.
But isnt it bleach based?
So you can use Schwarzkopf bleach instead like a bleach wash ?
loving the fact that Archie has an Australian accent and his responses are always perfect
I was just going to say that. Hilarious
I was thinking the same thing! 😂
Hellurh
This... My thoughts exactly!
I would love to see Alex try a gelled down, slicked back look with the short hair! I remember Emma Watson & Kristen Stewart had the style a few years back and think Alex would look amazing! Plus, if she hates it she can just wash it out lol
It would be really fun to try some hairstyles like the singer from La Roux! They already look really similar!
Charlize Theron did it too and it’s beautiful on them
Maybe finger curls too!
Yesss was thinking the same thing! When she had de product in. She is so gorgous.❤️
Yesssss
Alex, where are you?? I went from seeing you every day to nothing for two weeks that I've seen? I'm getting very worried about you.
I've been binge watching your hair video playlist and I love it. Your carefree attitude and sense of humor is refreshing. Thank you for your entertaining content.
This saga has almost been mythic in the amount of changes that we have passed through on this journey. I am not sure if it is Midi-chlorians, genetics or just plain luck, but Alex still has her hair and that makes me happy.
agreed 👍
the force is strong with this one!
All these rude people berating you for spending that much on the product either didn't listen to what you were saying, or they've never needed color corrective services. I've had color go wrong and I'd have paid twice as much to get it looking good again. Honestly, I didn't expect it to work at all and I'm shocked but happy that it did as much as it did!
the thing is though there are similar products here in Australia... Just obviously her largely American fanbase recommend what they know. Then this happens. X3
I think a lot of people have a bit of protagonist syndrome thinking that everything exist in their bubble and it's preposterous to think that things don't always work the way they've experienced it.
One thing I will say is that I guarantee she will make the money back and then some with this video alone so I don't know why people feel entitled to tell people how to spend her money. I also think people forget that places exist outside of America and what we find common here may not be other places ect. Especially about currency because people flip out about prices there and forget it's a totally different currency lol
@@bloodirose but… why are people mad because she bought the product? Yes it was more expensive, but it’s her money. I’d get people being sad that she had to pay the inflated price, but it worked! And she’s clearly super happy :)
Ya there is really no need for the hate. It does nothing for anyone. Just sad ppl in their own lives.
I’m SO glad you used the color oops!! It worked incredibly well! You’re in the perfect place to put a color on top that is close to your natural color!
Im so excited to see your hair red again. I think you are beautiful with any color hair but I especially love your red hair💜
I appreciate Archie being in the intro, in his cage, so we can see him even though he has been hormonal a bit. Also love seeing you having fun with your hair
I'm a bird mom of 8 and I can confirm, we do collect our babies feathers lol. I have two boxes full and they're both SUPER heavy 😀 it's a problem.
Feather pillows maybe?
You should make them bedding ☺️
I have a vase full of mine. I'm going to need to start a new vase I think. 😄
I don't even have a bird, but I'm still very happy to find one of the green feathers the parrots outside my building drop
I haven’t had a bird since I was 13 (16 years ago at this point) and I still have a box of feathers from my babies! 🐦
Throwing this out there for someone who may not know. If a color says “semi permanent” technically yes, what is in the bottle is semi permanent. BUT if you have to pre lighten it (bleach) it makes it more “permanent”. The only way color can truly be semi permanent is if it’s on “virgin” hair. Bleach is opening the cuticle that an alkaline that is In permanent color would do. Allowing the other color to penetrate deeper but also be more vibrant.
Trick with “color remover” (not bleach) is when rinsing use as hot of water as possible to handle and rinse until there is NO smell. Always to the test after with a color developer to make sure it has taken and won’t go back to the color you were trying to get rid of. Darn color molecules! Can be such a pain! Even after almost 26 years doing hair there are times it may not work (always depends on how many layers if color, how healthy or porous the hair is). 🇨🇦❤️
Good to know!!
This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your expertise! One quick question...how does one perform a developer test?
@@catfeatherss take a piece of hair that can be hidden (avoid hairline or fringe area). Then take developer (20vol preferably) and apply it straight from bottle to small piece of hair. If hair does NOT darken, you are good. If it goes back to the color it was prior to color remover being applied, you could try again, but most likely won’t work. That is when lightener would be used (safely and gently). Cheers!
@@gracieshepardtothemax1743 you're the best! Thanks again for all the wisdom!!
Is this a damaging product? That’s what I’m very nervous about and I keep hearing different things and don’t want my hair to break off
Omg I've loved seeing you with all the colours but I'm so happy to see you ginger again 😍
The blue is cuticle staining! It won't come out, the best you can do is neutralise it with a temporary orange to turn it brown, and dye over that with a copper like cinnamon or French cognac from Adore ❤
Myself and my daughter have used Arctic fox blue dye several times. My daughter kept hers blue for about a year. And with both of us all it took was a bleach wash (lightening powder, small amount of developer, mixed with shampoo) to get it out completely. And it was not damaging to the hair either. We may have just gotten lucky lol. But it worked. My hair went back to a very pale almost white blonde by doing this. No blue was left at all.
@@ashleygray4034 Yes, you have been very lucky 😊 Had blue in my hair for a year after one application, tried everything on the internet. Even the hairdresser couldnt get rid of it. So we colored it a darker redish brown to cover it🤷🏼♀️
I must confess that, as a person who is way too scared to dye her hair, I deeply enjoy this there and back again hair journey :)
aleeeeexx, it’s been 13 days, where is the dying hair video?? i’m too excited!
Loved seeing Archie! Your interactions with him had me laughing all the way through the video 😂 I've watched you since the beginning and know that Archie is part of your family 🥰 No relationship that is worth having is always an easy ride, even with "pets"!
Hey Alex, just for future reference Color Oops looks very similar to a product we have in the UK called ColourB4 (it also stinks of rotton egg so I bet it is the same product), if you ever want / need to do this again it might be worth checking that one out instead, I'd be surprised if Australia didn't have some version of this product under another name.
You got some impressive results though! Speaking as someone whose been dying her hair with funky colours for years, blue is easily the most stubborn and pain in the arse colour to get rid of.
I swear by Jo Baz Colour Remover. I’ve found it to be much better than ColourB4. I really recommend it x
I’m in NZ and have bought a colour remover from my local supermarket for $40 so surely there will be something similar available in Aussie!
We have Colorless Max and Scott Cornwall in the local supermarket. I had an allergic reaction to the scott cornwall colour stripper so I use colourless.
Really? Blue came outta my hair relatively easy the one n only time I've bleached it
Ya you think blue is the hardest to remove till you’ve tried SPLAT pink 😭😐🙈
I’m only a few minutes into this video and I just want to say THIS LENGTH IS SO CUTE ON YOU!!! I’m in love with it! It’s so perfect for your face shape and somehow perfectly matches your personality 💚
Yay!! It worked!! Love this hairstyle on you and can’t wait to see the ginger make a comeback!!
I love how Archie sounds just like you, accent and inflections and all. It's so cute.
Crazy bird person here! I understand and approve! Archie is so funny and cute it make my heart melt. And congratulations on finally going back to red! It's been fun and entertaining watching you experiment with your hair. Wishing you good luck on your journey towards the magnificent red hair.
I collected my birds feathers too 🪶
Alex, I still think it was worth the 70 bucks. Ok, it’s very expensive but think of all the vitamin C tablets you’ve spent your money on, not to mention the time! It looks much better than before! You got so much of the color out!
im really glad the Color Oops worked for you, i knew it would! even after the first go i would've been happy with the outcome. i mean your hair was freshly BLACK & now it's so light. i cannot wait to see long, red haired Alex again! it's going to be so cool to see you go full circle. 💜
Ok now I'm digging the cut on you... honestly red/blonde tones just look best with your coloring!! Can't wait for the next video!!
My heart almost STOPPED when I realized y'all don't have Color Oops out there. 70 bucks? That's insane!! But definitely worked. Can't wait to see how the red color comes out!
We do have hair colour removers, or Colour Oops alternatives in Australia, that are A LOT cheaper. Alex obviously wasn't aware of any and just went with the recommendation.
Also, I think it was totally worth the $70! It actually worked! I'd pay that much for those results 🙌
Dear Alex! Since there are massive floods in Australia and you have not posted for a while, I am now worried, you might be also currently in that danger situation. Hope you and you family and friends are fine!
The short hair is really so gorgeous on you, no matter the color! The blue-green mess didn’t even look that bad. Also, the way Archie sounds EXACTLY like you when he’s talking is so adorable!
I'm SO glad if worked out well for you. I mean, I was like 93% positive it would, but there was still that little part of me that was like, "oh god, what if I gave Alex bad advice despite all evidence to the contrary???" Now you should just wash it really well with clarifying shampoo. I can't wait to see you fully ginger again! I was going to say I would be your Color Oops hook-up, but then I looked up shipping cost, and it comes out to almost the same price AUD ~$63 and probably wouldn't be 2-day shipping. Lol So...maybe you just need to get sponsored by them. 😂 Petition to get Color Oops in Australia! I adore you and Archie and Dan, and I'm always thrilled when I get a notification for new uploads. 💜💜💜
I love the supportive 'no' archer was serving in the background like no ma'am hahaha when you were talking about the box of the packaging
Oh my God, Archie's speech is getting so clear!! Love him so much
I love that your mom got to pick the shade of red. I remember you saying she didn’t want you to dye it black. I’ve loved your hair colour journey and even if you’re a redhead again you’ll still be this new happier Alex!
When I read the title saying $70 I thought you had bought like 4 or 5 boxes or something! 😱
Me too until she explained why😳
It's so cute how Archie perfectly mimics your accent too!! Hellooo 🦜
I love it when Archie whispered his name all delicately! Adorable!!!😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
That section with Archie and the hairdryer completely MADE MY WEEK. And it's only Sunday! What a beautiful boy 💚
I honestly think that hair style looks SO stunning on you!! The volume you have in your hair from your curly texture (I assume, since I have a similar texture and length myself?) makes it look so flattering with your face shape, I'm so excited to see what it'll look like when you're red again! Thanks for the super entertaining content as always xx
I've just gotta say, this length looks sooo sweet on you! Your bone structure is light like a fairy, this length suits you incredibly well! 🥺 I love it
that color oops is some miracle stuff. hair cut looks very good on you Alice!
How is Archie talking with perfect context 🤯😂
Hearing you say you were told rude things because of your hair made me think of my brother...He's a natural red head and him and my family always used to make fun of him (usually just me) for his hair. The reason I would do that is because I was so incredibly jealous of him. His hair was absolutely beautiful and I was so sad and angry that he was the one that had inherited that trait. He would also get told how beautiful his hair was and get all the attention from our relatives . It's crazy to me how someone could feel bad and ashamed of their hair color. I just wanted to let you know that you are absolutely stunning no matter what your hair color is
This lenght for Alex is my favorite! You look stunning! ❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVE your hair this length. It suits you so so much and you look magical
Archie coming in clutch with the reactions today. Also everyone in America is definitely checking to see how much it would cost to ship color oops to you instead...
Bird person here! Can confirm that Alex isn't crazy, I collect all of the feathers I find outside that aren't in bad condition, give them a wash and keep them!
I have enjoyed watching your hair journey, but I have to admit…I am excited to see red-headed Alex again!!!! I still think this hair cut looks absolutely FANTASTIC on you!
So glad you had Archie in this video, i needed cheering up, love him
I am completely floored - I've never heard Archie talk this much!! It's absolutely amazing! 🙌🏻🙌🏻😍
He has perfected imitating your voice/tone and definitely has the same Australian accent that you have. Absolutely adorable! 😍😍❤ So freaking cute!!!
Color oops has a tiny amount of developer in it, it will lighten and damage your hair a small amount, but the benefits of it to anything that’ll give you similar results are worth it.
Haha Archie has become so talkative since I started follow ur channel, I love you both!
A+ choice in podcasts! James and Jimmie are my absolute favorite podcast hosts.
I’m not usually super into the hair dying videos. LOVE the thrifting for home decor videos and enjoy the clothing hauls and the collection videos. But this video is quite entertaining. Love how much you included Archie and your hair turned out quite nice!
Archie's Aussie accent is precious.
It's almost 11pm on a Sunday. I was looking for an asmr sleep video, but look what's here.
I'm too invested not to watch.
I also absolutely loved the blue and the cut on you, made your eyes look amazing.
Hi Alax
So happy to see you with your makeup. Yea turning back to beautiful red. Can’t wait to c it. ♥️ Seeing Archie was hilarious♥️Him.
I haven't watched this video yet but I'm hoping that when you use the Color Oops you put a heating pad on top of it and then a towel over the heating pad to trap the Heat... It works so much better
This cut/style is so cute on you!!! I love it! I’m glad to see moody, hormonal teenage Archie is being nice to you 😹!! Sephora just came out with a color remover that is non-bleach (same as Malibu C) if you want to try that. Maybe it’s available in AU. You’re just looking so lovely, your hair, your skin, just glowing! Also I literally keep random feathers I find in the wild, so keeping the feathers of your loved bird doesn’t seem so weird! I’d love to see a video of you showing your three favorite home decor items in each decorated room.
I LOVE short hair on you! Such a vibe 💖
I haven't been able to keep up with your Videos due to life, so this was my first time seeing you with the short hair and it looks stunning! It suits you so well and you looks amazing!!
It likely processed better near your roots because of the heat of your head! I would put some deep conditioning products on your hair because color oops can dry it out. Your hair has looked amazing in every color you have tried including your natural color too! ☺️☺️❣️
why am I so shocked that Archie said "no" with an Australian accent lol
Glad you had great results! Can’t wait to see the next video!
AHHH ALEX IM SO READY FOR RED🍓
*waits excitedly for next video*
Hi Alex, just want to let you know you are an amazing bird mommy and you don't need to explain yourself to ANYONE 👏🏼❤️
I used schwarzkopf color remover with Bond building thingy. Get 5 uses out of it and only used two on my level 3 hair. Maybe that's an alternative that's easier to find? Obviously all is done BUT if anyone sees this, It's worth it ❤❤
Seconded, also comes highly recommended by aka aislinn!
Archie is fantastic. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you Alex!!!!!
I can't believe how well the product worked! I'm excited to see what happens next in your hair journey!
AHHHH!!! I knew it would work!! 😍 I recommended color oops on the last video, but I was terrified there was a slight chance it wouldn’t work, and I would’ve been so sad for you, but YAY, we love the results !! I love color oops! It’s so stinky, but sooo worth it
When Archie said What’s wrong? I could have just died he loves his momma so much!!
Thank you for sharing. Good to know. You are living beautifully. And your husband's hair is gorgeous and your natural hair was very pretty, too.
Alex I love your content and personality a lot and going on this journey with you has been great especially when i need to relax and do something solely because I enjoy it I wish a safe and speedy journey back to your gorgeous natural red ( although you've looked amazing with every single hair color/style you've had) but archie was my favorite part of this video i feel like its been a while since we've hung out with him this much and he is always such a joy
It’s been a few weeks since this post ✅ hope all is well and hopefully we will here from you soon 🙏👍
I still really love her short hair, and I'm glad she was able to get out almost all of the dye out. Congrats Alex.
When you were washing your hair out, I got so excited when I heard the small town murder tune 😂😂 love Jimmie and James
You and your bird are iconic Lovin the vibes!
This has honestly made me feel better about the fact my hair is a deep midnight blue right now--so thank you, Alex, for taking us along on this journey with you! (And paying the Australia tax, to boot.)
My color was an actual oops due to the packaging being a lie. (I was shown a silvery indigo, which started on a light brown base according to the box; I started with a lighter, greyer-range ash blonde, and wound up with a very, very true blue with no warmth and no sign of the silvery undertone I was shown.) I had contented myself with letting it grow out (advantages of my hair being in a men's cut--woo!), but now....
I'm definitely going to embrace the blue a little longer, but I might just take another stab at silver sometime soon, haha.
very entertaining as usual, thank you alex 💖 also chaotic lol
I need more Alex videos. Every day I log in hoping I might have missed a notification of a new video, but alas I must keep waiting. You definitely get me through this tough pandemic and general every day stress! I love all of your content, watching your youtube journey from the beginning.
There’s something sooooooo satisfying about going back to your natural color after a long run of fashion colors
Mate I love your vids so much. I feel like you're my irl pal. The hair dye adventures are brilliant. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel once your hair is back to its natural state 😱. Ill probs still love your vids. Your a fantastic content creator. If I were rich you would have all my patron etc money. Please keep doing what you're doing xxx
I did the same thing last year, I was able to dye mine back to my natural color, which is similar to yours. I used ion color brilliance and a 20 volume developer to really get it in there. (You could probably make due with 10volume cause your hair is fairly light)
i dod 75% 8RC, 20% 8G and 5% 8N with the ion color brilliance permanent cream hair color
the 8g will add some gold tones, and the 8N will cool down SOME of the coppery red so it’s not as vibrant and a little more natural. Can’t wait to see the wig haul!
I’ve never really been around birds, never knew much about them either and I’m so fascinated by Archie. You two are so sweet! Hair looks like it did good! Excited to see the red.
Your relationship with Archie is absolutely precious. Because of your videos I’ve really been wanting a bird, but because of my mental health problems I don’t think I would be a good enough birb mom. I also really want a cat so I guess I’ll probably never have a bird. But I have to say that it warms my heart to see you two interact.
I can’t believe it’s $70 there! It’s $9 and has been saving my hair from stupid mistakes since 2009! Haha! If it was $70 I would probably make better hair decisions knowing that nothing cheap is effective at getting out shit hair color lol
It’s so much because she’s buying a product that’s not available here.
There are pretty much the same type of products you can buy here, however. The difference is. It’s not the brand everyone was telling her to use. It’s brands that are available here in Australia. 🤷♀️
I love that haircut on you so much. My hair is curly, so it doesn't take bleach or color well, so I have to live vicariously through you!
Also, I just realized that little Archie also has an Australian accent. 😆
i've never heard of hair texture being a barrier to hair coloring. alex had natural ringlets originally. sounds like you've just had some colorists who didn't know what they were doing!
Yes, like the other person said, curly hair doesn’t stop hair color from working. My daughter has naturally curly and course hair, and I’ve never had an issue coloring it. If it’s something you want to do, go for it!
i love that archie speaking sounds like your voice. birds are amazing
This is absolutely my fav hair cut you have had!! It fits your face so well!
Actually turned out really good! My first thought was a "Shein Wig Try On Haul" so I'm excited that you already thought of that
When I first saw you mixing I thought, "don't mix everything, just do half of each botle, your hair is short your going to have a lot of left over", but I'm glad everything work out.
That final blonde is so cute on you! And I honestly love the look of it short and without much styling (though it looks fab in all the styles you do). It looks like something a cottage core queen would have.
Been a few weeks, hope you're doing well and that we get to see your hair go back to beautiful ginger soon! So much love for you Alex 💗
