The video was a great success.

So after many requests to continue the series about dyeing my hair using 16 different types of hair dye, today's video I will be dyeing my best friend's hair using 16 different blue hair dyes.

Now why am I not dyeing my own hair you ask?

Well you see, my hair takes a very very long time to grow and in my experience, or at least from what I've seen from my friends, blue hair dye takes a very long time to wash out.

It normally will go from blue to green and then it just won't change after that point and I'm not quite ready for that commitment just yet because I do want to experiment with some other colours and if the green won't come out, I can't go pink again.

So with that being said, my best friend Sam, well he's been growing his hair for a little while and he's very eager to shave it all off.

So I said to him, please, please kind sir, before you shave off your hair, please let me dye it blue.

With that, I have here in front of me 16 different blue hair dyes.

Now there's some popular brands here, there's some brands that people may not have heard of before.

I have a selection of light blue, dark blue and turquoise.

Samuel!

Please, join me.

Hey!

At what point did I say I wanted to shave it off?

Well, I mean not shave it completely but...

We fibbies, she be tellin'.

We fibbies.

Sam's hair is nice and luscious and long.

He looks like a Walmart version of Legolas.

So we're going to divide...

Please, thrift shop version of Legolas.

How am I going to do this?

Craigslist version of Legolas.

I hope that you've enjoyed looking like Gilderoy Lockhart for all these months because you're about to look like Ninja.

Okay.

Like, fight crime, stop darkness.

Not that sort of Ninja.

I mean the type that sits and plays games.

Let's have a quick look at these brands, I'll tell you what we've got.

So, to begin we have L'Oreal Colorista in Denim, Pastel Blue and Turquoise.

We have Bright Organics in Blue, Pastel Blue and Turquoise.

We have Dare in Blueberry Bomb and Blue Ice.

We have Schwarzkopf Ultra Brights in Electric Blue and Turquoise Temptation.

We have Manic Panic in Rockabilly Blue, Atomic Turquoise and Bad Boy Blue.

We have Revolution in True Blue and we have Keracolor in Blue and in Turquoise.

So, are you ready?

I've never been ready for anything in my life, but it hasn't let me down yet.

So let's do it.

Now obviously buying 16 different blue hair dyes was not going to be cheap.

So thank you so much to ExpressVPN for sponsoring today's video.

But did you know that most of our favorite streaming services have different catalogs for each region?

Well thanks to today's sponsor ExpressVPN, I can change my online location to access geographically blocked content with 94 countries to choose from.

This might come as a surprise to some of you, but I've never watched Grey's Anatomy.

It's literally not available on Australian Netflix, hence why I kept referring to this guy as the dad from Euphoria and not McDreamy.

I've also been deprived of Breaking Bad, which is only available on Netflix UK, US and Canada.

But hey, it's not all doom and gloom over here on Australian Netflix because we do have access to a bunch of Studio Ghibli films, which are only accessible on Netflix Australia,

UK and Canada.

And with that, let's get on with the video.

I have here my little hair map.

I don't know if you can see this, but what I've decided to do is divide his head.

Gently divide my head, please.

Let's not have any long lasting injuries with an axe.

What I'm going to be doing is from the nose, we're going to divide in half.

Then we're going to take each half like this, and then we're going to divide directly in the center of the ear.

And then we're going to go each one of those in half again.

Each strand like this is going to have a darker blue going to a lighter blue like a gradient.

I know that sounds a little bit confusing.

I couldn't think of a better way to do it.

If you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments below.

And if your only feedback is get a professional to do it, keep that to yourself.

Wow, Sam, you look beautiful.

Strand number one.

We're starting off with Manic Panic's Bad Boy Blue transitioning into Colorista by L'Oreal in turquoise.

Wait, is my shirt in danger?

You should remove it.

You can do this.

I can't do this.

You can do this.

You got this, girl.

Was that enough of a motivational talk for you?

What did you do?

Nothing.

How do you feel?

I feel like I'm in danger.

You feel blue bubble de-bubble died?

What type is the superior Pokemon?

What?

You have electric type?

That's not allowed.

No, Gyarados.

Magikarp used Splash.

I can't believe I lost this battle.

Next combo is Revolution in True Blue and Bright in Turquoise.

Oh boy, this is so dark.

Oh shit.

I thought you just went and put that in your mouth.

Wait, does it smell good?

Why the fuck does it smell like berries?

Oh, this one's quite different.

In a good way?

Well, in a darker way.

Oh my god, it's like the same colour as the comb.

The comb is a purple comb.

It's called True Blue, so it's either Aussie as fuck.

Or...

It's got nothing to do with the colour, it's just...

Yeah, it's just made in Australia.

It's just True Blue.

Here's to Samuel, he's True Blue.

He's a pisspot through and through.

The Americans are very confused.

He's a bastard, so they say.

I don't know the rest of it.

Does anyone know the rest of it?

Like, every time I'm at a birthday party and we get to that point...

But he went the other way?

He went to go to heaven, but he went the other way?

Drink, drink, drink!

No, no, he went down, down, and then you tell them down, down, and they're meant to like down their drink.

Oh, is that it?

Yeah, look, I've never really...

I'm so un-Australian.

I've never engaged in it.

The only time I ever engaged in it was when they were singing that at My 21st, and I had to just like...

And I knew enough to know to skull my beverage.

Whoa, whoa!

You don't even know what you're...

So this one's True Blue mixed with...

This is Revolution True Blue mixed with Bright Organics in Turquoise.

All right, so I'm really, really liking this Dark Revolution, and also this Bright Organics in Turquoise looks really pretty.

Now, I liked Bright Organics last time when I did the pink hair dye video.

I felt that the Bright Organics lasted a long time, so I hope that this one...

Because this is a really nice color.

I hope this lasts a long time too, but also this color transition between the Revolution and the Turquoise,

I think it looks really nice.

Okay, the next combination is Manic Panic in Rockabilly Blue going into Atomic Turquoise.

Ooh, definitely a runnier texture, and I feel like it's coating each individual hair a little bit easier.

I don't need to work as hard to get each of the hairs covered.

It's like basically covered everything.

So let me get this straight, Alex.

This video, we do all of this in the individual strands, but just because, you know, we hate our hair, we mix them all together at the end, right?

All of it together to make one Mega Blue.

Okay, Mega Blue it is.

Mega Blue sounds like it could be like some Australian teenage drama.

Oh my god, okay, this stained the gloves so much worse than all the others.

Wow, this is crazy.

So that is a good sign for long-lasting color.

Yeah, I reckon this one won't wash out anytime soon.

Ooh, I like this.

As far as just first impressions from the application,

Manic Panic is probably my favorite so far.

This is, oh, it's applying so well and the colors look really nice and they look very true to the colors in the bottle as well.

Ooh, I like this combination too.

This looks really cool.

Rockabilly Blue and Atomic Turquoise.

Guys, tell me, have you seen the Marvelous Redfish?

It's like an inverse sandwich.

I don't think anyone watching this video would understand that reference.

Surely they must.

Like, for example, if I mentioned I like rusty spoons, surely 90% of people know exactly what I'm talking about.

I don't know.

They'd have to.

All right, next up, we're doing Schwarzkopf Live Ultra Brights.

We have Electric Blue fading into Turquoise Temptation.

This one also smells delightful.

Oh, okay, it's so weird how the Schwarzkopf Live is literally a mousse.

It's so thick.

It just looks edible.

Like, as you're using it, you just want to scoop it on a muffin and eat it.

In the pictures on the box, it looked kind of neon, but this doesn't look like it's going to become neon to me.

Oh, I really like that gradient.

That looks awesome.

So this Schwarzkopf Live Turquoise is having a little bit of a hard time coloring the sort of brassy yellow tones of his bleach blonde hair.

It doesn't seem to be covering it anywhere near as well as these turquoise colors did.

All right, so the next colors are these Keracolor Color Clanditioner.

Now, the awkward thing is that when we were in Hair House Warehouse, we were led to believe that these were hair dyes.

On the back here, it says that it starts off lightened.

After one wash, it looks like this.

Two washes looks like this.

Three washes looks like this.

So obviously, we're only going to be doing the first one.

The strands on this side of your head are a little bit thinner to what they were on the other side, so I don't know how this is actually going to turn out.

What the fuck?

Sorry, everything's fine.

I'm just turning you into an avatar cosplaying.

I was going to ask, do I need to worry about my jeans?

No, they're beautiful.

But I was like, I don't need to ask that.

Why would my jeans be in danger?

Surely.

All right, so this definitely does apply like a conditioner.

I almost feel like this product is a little bit pointless, purely based on the fact that it seems to be just a conditioner with blue in it.

And you could just buy any blue, add it to a bottle of conditioner, and you would have the same thing.

But this was really expensive.

This was like $35 a bottle.

So am I starting to look beautiful, Alex?

Oh, Sam, you always look beautiful.

Thank you.

Moving on to Dare now.

We're doing blueberry bomb fading into blue ice.

Oh, this looks purple.

Yeah, the revolution one looks purple.

All right, so this light blue is having a little bit of a hard time getting into your hair.

It just doesn't want to take at all.

This is the first one that this has happened.

It just, it is not taking.

Like I'm running it over, over and over and over.

And it's just, nothing's happening.

I mean, yeah, like a little bit of something's happening, but you can see a really big difference between this and this.

It's just not taking.
