00:00I know everyone's gonna be like,
00:02girl, this is a wig.
00:03You should be comfortable with doing whatever to it,
00:05but this is a very expensive unit.
00:07I love the fact that it's blonde,
00:09but also it's virgin hair.
00:11It's sourced from one head.
00:13I can't believe I'm about to dye it blue.
00:17My name is Destiny Taylor,
00:19and I'm gonna get my hair transformed into Cardi B blue.
00:24Before I go through my hair transformation,
00:26don't forget to subscribe below.
00:27I'm a creative hustler from Indiana,
00:31living in sunny California.
00:33Growing up, I had three sisters,
00:36and we always just did our own hair.
00:39I'm most nervous about trusting someone else with my hair.
00:43I had this horrible experience in high school
00:46where I actually bleached it and I colored it orange.
00:49After that color, my hair was this short.
00:52So I've been really indulging in just the privilege
00:56to be able to transform myself into whoever I want to be
01:00with wigs and extensions.
01:03I'm excited for this transformation for two reasons.
01:07One, I love Cardi's first and second mixtape.
01:11Gangsta Bitch Volume 1 and 2 is my ish.
01:14But also just who she represents.
01:16She just popped out a baby.
01:18She's back on stage, back in the studio with blue hair.
01:21It represents my alter ego that I push to bring out every day.
01:26It's bold, it's energetic, and it's so vibrant and strong.
01:30I'm going to feel that newness that I've been longing for.
01:33My name is Daniel Moon, and I own Hair Vest Salon in downtown Los Angeles.
01:42Hey, hey.
01:43Hello.
01:45Go on in.
01:46Wow, this is such a cool space.
01:48I'm always excited to work with a wig,
01:50because the challenge is always to make it not look like a wig.
01:53I'm just nervous with the bleach that it'll get over processed.
01:57Again, I had that horrible situation with my natural hair,
02:00so I would hate for that to happen to this very expensive wig.
02:04All right.
02:04I hear you want to go Cardi B blue.
02:06Yes.
02:07Yes, yes.
02:08That's my favorite blue right now, actually.
02:09Yes.
02:10I just want to be bold and fearless like Cardi.
02:13All right.
02:13So what we're going to do is we're going to change it up for you.
02:16We're going to open up your face a little bit more and lock in your eyes to keep it nice
02:20and flirty and sexy.
02:22Nice.
02:22I've never had bangs before, so this should be interesting.
02:25Well, get ready for it.
02:26Here we go.
02:27I'm ready.
02:31So I've got four different shades for you.
02:34I like to give it a little bit of movement and contrast, so you have a lot of dimension
02:38in there.
02:43All right, Destiny, now that we've got your blue base on, we're going to get to the fun
02:46part with the three blues, and we're going to get that electric magic in.
02:53During the process, I felt like I needed a little bit more pizzazz, a little bit more electricity,
02:58so I created my own custom blues, a Bowie blue, and then a Dodger blue for Los Angeles,
03:03baby.
03:09Voila.
03:18I can't wait to see how it looks once it's dry.
03:21You think it looks good now?
03:23Just wait.
03:24I've never had my hair blue before.
03:26I'm hoping it really complements my melanin.
03:35This color is amazing.
03:39Now that we're nice and dry, now we can get to the fun stuff.
03:46Are we going to do them like really thick and fringy, or are we doing something thinner?
03:51Let's just say it's going to be a surprise.
03:54Oh, God.
03:58Oh, my God!
04:00I look like a little Barbie doll!
04:03Yes, you do.
04:04Oh, my God!
04:05Straight from the moon.
04:06Straight from the moon.
04:06I love this so much!
04:11This hair, it makes me feel very sassy, a lot of spunk.
04:18What's so cool about black hair and the culture of it is just how prominent extensions and
04:26weaves are in it.
04:27We can transform our hair and become who we want at any moment, whenever.
04:34I'm always excited to see a wig absorb the color exactly how we mixed it.
04:38I haven't had anyone other than me put their hands in my head in like eight years, and
04:45Daniel did an amazing job.
04:47He's the first person I trusted with my hair, and he's great.
04:50The way that I help my clients maintain their brightly colored hair is I make them custom
04:54colored conditioners so you can maintain it at home.
04:59I hope that every single person in the world wakes up knowing that the love that they receive
05:04is only the love that they put out.
