00:00I'm Chardonnay, and I want to know what are the best natural hairstyles for the summer?
00:07All right, Ellen, do you want to take this one some summer style?
00:11Well, what I find for the summer, most people don't want to do anything today.
00:14They want to be able to jump in and out of the water, the pool, or whatever.
00:17What do you mean, Ellen?
00:17So, that's one.
00:19Yes.
00:19Yours would definitely be one.
00:22Then, also, twists, braids, weaves.
00:25It depends on how you're doing.
00:26But most people look to go for a natural style in the summertime, but natural is a lot of work also.
00:33Yes.
00:33It's not easy.
00:34So, if you want easy, it's definitely going to be a braided or twisted style that, of course, done by the right person, not too tight.
00:41You know, something you can wear for the whole summer because you can get it done at the beginning of summer and not have to see anybody again in a salon for the whole summer.
00:47I'm sure there are salon owners everywhere appreciate that.
00:49Yeah, I know, but it's true.
00:50I mean, I tell my clients to come back and get washed and conditioned because people make a mistake.
00:54They think I have braids, I have a weave, I don't have to do anything.
00:56You have to condition your hair no matter what you have done to it.
01:00Really quickly, who do we have up next?
01:02Hi, my name is Tiara Simons from Brooklyn, New York, and I wanted to know if it's possible to dye dark colored hair pink or blue without the commitment of bleaching it.
01:13Anybody can take this question as a lot of color.
01:15It's hard.
01:16You've got to lighten it before you do it pink or blue.
01:18You have to lighten it, but you can lighten it without bleach.
01:22So, again, never am I suggesting anyone color their hair.
01:26Go find a hair color specialist.
01:28I used to be a hair color educator.
01:30So there are, I mean, I have a single process and bleach on top of my hair.
01:34And at one point, I also had a relaxer on top of all of that.
01:37It can all be done if it's done correctly and you treat it healthy.
01:41But you can definitely have your hair pre-lightened without bleach, a level or two higher than where you are naturally, and then those colors.
01:48But just know that you're not going to get like that vibrant, you're not going to get this beautiful color behind me.
01:52You're going to get this help my hair color down.
01:54Yeah, exactly.
