foreign
welcome back to the channel um one thing
quickly and the reason I look like this
and sound like this is because I've
literally had a weekly exam so I am
absolutely shattered just and I can't be
asking my hair today so just just ignore
the fact that it's pinned back it's
because I can't be bothered so for
today's video it's kind of personal
because as some of you may probably know
I've had a lot of different hairstyles
over the years I've used a lot of
different dies I've tried a lot of
different things I can bleach my hair
I've dyed it red and I'm just gonna let
you know this now box Style just isn't
very good for your hair it isn't good so
I thought I would show you a way that
you can naturally dye your hair using
coffee before I actually show you how I
do it I just wanted to know a few things
because there is a few things that you
need to know about this before you get
started number one this isn't a miracle
cure this isn't going to drastically
change your hair color it's gonna make
it like one or two Shades Darker it's
also gonna work better if you have
lighter hair than dark hair if you
already have dark hair this isn't going
to like turn your hair black however the
actual one main advantage that I
actually wanted to talk about is the
fact that it is genuinely really good
for your scalp coffee is good for your
scalp it's good for your hair it's got
lots of nutrients and vitamins that I
genuinely really beneficial for it so at
the end of this if you don't get darker
hair at least you're gonna have a
happier and healthier scalp and yeah
pretty much recently I wanted dye my
hair a little bit darker and I thought
I'd just show you how you can do it
whilst I do it as well so yeah anyway so
the first thing you want to do is
literally just make a cup of coffee by
the way this is Tesco coffee because I'm
a student and I'm on a budget but if you
want to use espresso or something darker
than this then be my guest you know what
I mean also um fun facts about me is
that I'm actually allergic to coffee and
it makes me throw up so anyway so you
want to pull yourself a lot of generous
amount of coffee basically you want to
make yourself double the size of coffee
that you usually have so four
tablespoons is great I'm just gonna pour
it in because I don't know rough
measurements for the win I guess and
then obviously because we are literally
making a cup of coffee you need to boil
yourself some water by the way if you
are gonna do this I probably advise
doing it in a mug I'm just going to do
it in a glass so I can show you
hopefully it doesn't crack and you just
want to add enough water so that the
coffee dissolves then once you've left
all the coffee grindings to dissolve you
um surprisingly need to let this cool
because obviously you don't want to pour
boiling coffee on your head like um
probably not the best idea so yeah we're
gonna leave this to cool for a couple of
minutes so it's been five minutes though
the glass hasn't shattered which is a
win and it's also cooled down so it's
now time to add the conditioner just as
you would add to normal hair dye so
again I'm all the cheapest one from
Tesco's this was like one pound fifty
and pretty much we're just gonna add
like half the bottle
um anyway so that should be about enough
and then once again it's just back to
mixing it all up
oh you've got a paste like this it is
now time to add it to your hair um no
surprises there I guess and by the way
when you're adding it to your hair it
can get a little bit messy so if you
have got like a little cheap towel that
you can like drape around you and avoid
ruining your clothes
um I would I would recommend and then
yeah from here you just want to rub it
in your hair and this is kind of gross
and when you are applying it make sure
you apply a nice and even coat to all of
your hair because otherwise you're going
to get patches that are maybe a little
bit darker in patches that aren't so
yeah also by the way if you are going to
do this um your hair is going to smell
like coffee for a week and then yeah
once you look like you've dipped your
head in a festival toilet um it's time
to apply cling film because just like
you would dye your hair you apply clean
film right so pretty much if you've
never applied cling film to your hair
before it just helps development of the
color pretty much
so once you wrap your head and clean
film it just literally need to give
yourself time to let the dye in the
coffee set in your hair and while I wait
for half an hour for this side to set
I'm just going to finish my meal deal
that I started earlier I live off
milldale's at University by the way um I
probably should learn to cook anyways
and yeah I shall see you in half an hour
with hands hopefully a bit darker
so it's been about half an hour I have
now eaten my meal deal um it was very
nice actually and it's now time to take
the wrap off
um yeah and as you can now see my hair
is quite dark I mean it won't be this
dark when I wash it out by the way I
mean I hope it's not gonna be the stuff
I don't want my hair to be this dark
we're gonna go wash this out hopefully
when I come back my hair will be a
little bit darker so as you know see my
hair is wet um I have washed the coffee
out it's not as dark as it was it's also
not as orange which is nice
um we're now going to dry my hair
because that's the thing you do after
you wet your hair and then hopefully
I'll be able to show you the results
now look is my hair now brown no but is
it slightly More Auburn yeah I think so
I think it is I think it is a little bit
darker like maybe one or two shades
which is enough like I didn't want it to
change like drastically like if you want
your hair to change drastically then go
to hairdressers and look I mean compared
to the start I do think this hair is
generally darker so I I do hope this
tutorial is at least some help to you if
you are intending to like naturally try
and darken your hair because it's better
than using chemicals right but yeah as
