The only issue is that my hair is not dye friendly, luckily, Morgan has hair to spare and volunteered some of her tresses for this experiment when we were all together in Louisville, KY last month (https://youtu.be/vOkN47KmhTI) From making the dye, to actually dying Morgan's hair, this has probably been one of the more disgusting ventures I've ever done. (give my 18th-century pomade from sheep and pig fat any day of the week...) and I hope you all enjoy ✨ the journey ✨ 00:00 - 03:42 mmmm historic hair dye 03:43 - 10:53 Making the black hair dye 10:54 - 19:23 Dying Morgan's hair & results 19:24 - 2
