1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,840 A: Okay, so when I want to dye my hair, I first think about which color I want. 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:12,400 A: For example, if I want to have red hair I have to think about whether light red or dark red would suit me better. 3 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,360 A: Or if maybe blond would be a better fit. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:14,760 A: Look/ 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,620 A: For example, it’ll be summer soon. You get a tan and with that, blond hair looks even brighter and shinier. That looks pretty. That fits. 6 00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:22,740 A: So I’d rather buy blond dye. I have thought about it and I think that’ll look better. 7 00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:24,800 A: Then I go to a store to buy it. 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,400 A: I go to DM or Rossmann or Schlecker [names of German drug store chains] and compare where the dye is cheaper or which brands they have and which is the best. 9 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,600 A: For example there is L-O-R-E-A-L or, what else is there? 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,000 A: Wait, Schwarz, no. 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,660 A: Schwarzpunkt? Is it called Schwarzpunkt? 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,100 C: Schwarzkopf. 13 00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:41,700 A: [Towards M] Ah, that’s right. How embarrassing. Yes, Schwarzkopf. 14 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:43,740 A: So you know your way around ladies’ cosmetics, good! 15 00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:46,160 A: [Towards B] He knows his way around ladies’ cosmetics. 16 00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:45,980 B: Maybe he secretly uses that. 17 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,940 A: Probably he picked it up watching his wife. 18 00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:52,540 A: So that would be Schwarzkopf. Then there also is G-A-R-N-I-E-R. 19 00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:54,980 A: That brand is widely known. Well, doesn’t matter. 20 00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:57,200 A: So I choose the best of these. 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,120 A: I also ask my friends and get their opinion on which dye is good for the hair and what would suit me best. 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,360 A: Another question is whether I want a dye that lasts and is strong, or a tint - and which is which, because I’m not always sure of that. 23 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,780 A: I have to think about that beforehand, whether the coloring should last or I’d rather use a tint that will wash out after about eight shampoos. 24 00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:12,780 A: But I prefer a dye, it lasts, that’s better. 25 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:15,680 A: With a tint you have to do it again and again, that’s a lot of work and effort. 26 00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:23,820 A: Okay, then I go to a store. Or, I could just look at a brochure. If they have it on A-N [intends German word Angebot; offer], on sale, then I could get that. 27 00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:28,860 A: So, I go to a store, decide on a color and buy the dye. Blond, for example. 28 00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:33,460 A: For light blond, I get two boxes. For example, if you have long hair, you need two boxes, for short hair, one. 29 00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:37,460 A: For thick hair, you also better take two boxes. If you have thick or long hair, you need two. That’s how it is. 30 00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:39,880 A: You have to accept that and pay for it. It’s more expensive but you just have to pay more. 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,280 A: When I have paid, I take the boxes and also the receipt with me, just to be safe. 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,380 A: If you take the receipt with you, you can return or exchange what you bought if something is wrong with it. So I take the receipt with me just to be on the safe side. 33 00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:47,380 B: That’s not a thing. 34 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:51,580 A: Whatever, it doesn’t matter. I’m not got do that anyway, but, whatever. 35 00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:53,080 A: I’m just talking nonsense. Anyway. 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,400 A: So, I bag everything and go home. Okay. 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,020 A: Then I open the box and take everything out. 38 00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:02,260 A: Next, I read the instructions to see what I need to do. 39 00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:08,400 A: I also check if everything is there, that is gloves, the dye and so on. And the stuff you use after you have applied the dye. 40 00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:09,780 B: That’s the Frischepflege [lit. freshness care, probably means hair conditioner]. 41 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,980 A: You apply it to your hair after dyeing it. During the first wash, you put in the product and leave it in for two minutes, then rinse it off. 42 00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:13,440 A: It’s very sticky when you touch it. 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,560 A: When I have read the instructions and everything is there, it’s good. If something is missing, I have to exchange the product. But most of the time, everything is fine. 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,560 A: I have never experienced that, but just to be on the safe side. 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,220 A: When I have read the instructions, then/ 46 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:29,680 A: Then I change into a spare shirt, for dying my hair. 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,760 A: I take out my earrings and take my glasses off. Of course I take my glasses off. 48 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,100 A: Then I go dye my hair. I open the bottle. Typically it’s a tall, narrow bottle. First, I remove the lid. 49 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:45,100 A: Then I take the tube containing the dye. I unscrew it and have to use the spike on top of the lid to pierce the tube seal open. Then I squeeze the content of the tube into the bottle. 50 00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:51,460 A: When everything is out of the tube, I close the bottle and shake it vigorously. 51 00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:57,960 A: Then I go to the bathroom and apply the dye. First, I make a center parting and apply the dye there. From there, I spread it out evenly all throughout my hair. 52 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,760 A: After I apply the dye, I leave it in for, um, 20 minutes/ 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320 B: Half an hour, right? Yes. 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,880 A: About 20 minutes. 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,980 A: Yes, about half an hour or 20 minutes. That’s how long the dye stays in and I have to wait. 56 00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:13,880 A: When the time is up, I rinse out the dye. I have to rinse it out completely, until the water is clear. 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,180 A: When the dye is all rinsed out, I take the little container, the deep conditioner, and work it into my hair. 58 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:22,060 A: You have to leave it on for two minutes. I always leave it on longer, just to be safe, because I want to treat my hair well. 59 00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:26,000 A: After five minutes, I rinse out the conditioner as well and then I wash my hair with regular shampoo. 60 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,140 A: When everything is rinsed out, I blow-dry my hair and am done. 61 00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:32,880 A: Then my hair is freshly dyed and I look great. 62 00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:32,880 B: Then you look radiant. 63 00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:34,460 C: [Towards A] So next you’ll go to a tanning booth then? 64 00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:36,440 A: No. 65 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,380 C: Good.
