Today's Evil Beet Gossip

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em [Vlog]

OK. I dyed my hair black. I have an appointment to get bangs cut in on Wednesday, and I have made a note of every time I use the word “like,” just so you guys know I’m aware of it. Does that take care of all recent complaints and related hate-mail? I think yes. My goal in life is to make others happy, ya know?

Also: How do you get black hair dye off of white plaster walls? Just curious.

  • Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! It takes everything off walls, but don’t rub too hard, or the paint will start to come off.

      • Mine, too!

        I kept bitching about my new apartment, how filthy it was, how it needed to be painted, and everyone was like, dude, Magic Eraser. How right they were! I mean, cleaning has still taken a week, but whatevs, man.

    • They are right – magic eraser will totally get it off. P.S. Sasha – the hair looks good. I liked it all blown out like that – might not even need the bangs. Love you!

      • Sashaaa!

        You look gorgeous with your new hair! It suits you SO well.

        Keep it! And cant wait to see the bangs.
        Youre rockin already! :D

  • Sasha, I really honestly do like the new hair – it really suits you.

    Keep up the great work with Evil Beet and Zelda Lily – since stumbling across the Evil Beet about a year or so ago I’ve become an every-day reader!

    Best wishes from the UK, and hope the stains come out!

  • You look grrrrrrreat. Loving it! I recently went black as well and I really wasn’t sure, but now I feel happy :)

  • Girl, you are SO cute! And I’m loving the new hair (I did almost that same shade a coupla months ago – I found that a bleach-cleaner that you leave on the surface for a few hours works well for getting hair dye out. At least you didn’t go red – I’ve done that in the past and my bathroom has looked like a murder scene)

  • are you the one who write all these blogs?… id like to bang you… that mireee girls too you`re both hott

  • I look horrible with black hair, but you look cute!!! Also, from one foarhead to another, don’t get bangs just because of that! I like your current hairstyle.

    /unsolicited advice.

  • OHHHH!!! Love the hair. I’m personally getting strawberry blonde streaks in a couple of weeks and was considering getting bangs as well since I also have a disproportionately large forehead but decided against it in the end. My stylist said that because I have oily skin it would make me break out in pimples and my bangs would look greasy all the time. Oh well…you should post a before and after picture. I want to see what you look like with bangs!

  • jeeez beet you really like to talk, right? I’m guessing you could go on for hours and hours… XD
    I love the black hair on you and I would def. go for the side-swept bangs, don’t ask for a straight, curtain-y thing.

  • lol at your like counting

    your hair looks all nice and voluptuous here!
    and the black is nice..has it got a more red or blue tone to it? because in the sun if it’s brownyred toned then you’ll get a nice halo affect hehe
    once you go black it’s really troublesome to switch to anything else though..
    I’m with Jen on the bangs though..
    must be annoying getting people comment on your forehead but I think parting on the side and maybe some soft shorter parts at the front of your hair?
    look how many positive comments you got about the side pony! don’t do the bangs!

  • Dear Beet,

    Although the black hair looks lovely on you, I liked the red better! But you look cute either way. X

  • The black hair is absolutely gorgeous, and I definitely think the side swept bang will suit you.

    You’re too cute, Beet.

  • love the hair :)

    if you do get the bangs, DEF go for the side-swept ones rather than blunt. blunt will KILL your face, and you have such pretty bone structure.

    oh, and unless your apartment complex uses good latex paint (they never do), those really are forever stains :/ just ask your apt office for a little bit of touch-up paint- it’s a normal request after a move, as lots of people scratch the walls with furniture, etc.

    good luck!

  • yeah, looks great.

    you should ask adam lambert about this hair dye cleaning issue you’re having. something tells me it’s possible he’s run into that very same problem before.

  • I never realized so many people commented on your forehead. Kind of weird…but the black hair looks great and you’re gorgeous without bangs. I’m still excited about seeing how you’ll look with them though. :)

  • Okay, last time you posted a Vlog I said you sounded like Drew Barrymore…correction!!!! You sound like Bridget from The Girls Next Door, who I think is adorable :-p

    • Oh thank you I was trying to figure out who she sounded like and Bridget is totally right!

      Hair looks great babe! Though I ALWAYS like dark hair better

  • I really like the new hair..it completely give u a new look! And as of now, no hate bloggers have landed here………..yet. Is this a new record?

  • WOW. twenty six comments and not a single asshole hating on you…ON A VLOG POST. is this evil beet or siam? i am way impressed. i think this is the ultimate mark of success. you should be extremely proud of yourself :).

    on the hair: you look stunning. your eyebrows look so great also–i like them even better black. seriously, this is the prettiest i’ve ever seen you look in the six months i’ve been reading both of your blogs. you look INCREDIBLE. and i have no doubt that the bangs are going to look amazing.

    get it girl.

    • I was thinking the same thing. Maybe you need to post in the early mornings before the trolls wake up.

  • I had really long hair two weeks ago. Cut it off, and got bangs. I love you for doing this. Very brave!

  • Can you paint the walls? I am a hair stylist and most color fades off of anything with time… Mr Clean Eraser, Bleach Spray, Comet, that works on my tile, tub and floor.

    Side swept bangs!!! Your blog makes me laugh every single day, so thank you for that.

  • You look verreee pretty, Sasha!! My husband hadn’t seen you before and he thinks you’re pretty, too ;-) He’s a new reader and I suspect an avid one now.

  • You look great! I am soooo jealous of your great teeth!
    When you were pulling your hair to show the bangs impression you looked a little Jen Love Hewitt,But def in a good way ( I know you have past history with her!!)

  • WORD OF WARNING BEET!

    I dyed my hair black at home for about 7 years. I used Herbal Essences towards the end – and anything that was cheap before that.

    I went to get it a little lightened and IT ALL BURNT OFF. Its because the at home black hair dyes contain LEAD and it reacts when you are trying to get it off.

    May hair is shooooooooort now and I am still tying to grow it out.

    Good Luck!

    • black hair dye is kind of funky- if you keep home-dyeing it black, you’ll need to go to a pro when you decide to change your color so they can lift it. it looks so great, though- just talk to a pro about it someitme. they should be able to help you out when the time comes.

  • I love the black. Love.

    You look really young to begin with, but I have a feeling you could take five years off with the bangs (ftw.) And, I think they will drive the look home. I’m glad you’re doing the Black & Bangs so I do not have to; always wanted “that” look, but I am far too chicken-shit to try:)

    Btw, your teeth are perfect. Bitch.

  • Use a little bit of the the leftover dye on the stuff on the wall. It will reactivate the dye and allow you to simply wash it off!

  • I made a comment on your excessive use of “like”. I think you’re talented, quick witted, and have a terrific sense of humor. I could see you on an entertainment network interviewing celebrities because you’re very personable.
    Hope I didn’t hurt your feelings.
    PS-I dig the new color!

  • Love the dark hair, looks fab.

    Be careful with the bangs (we call it a fringe where I come from) because it looks like your hair might rebel and want to keep parting in the middle. Mine grows definitely and decidedly forward and when I tried to grow my fringe (bangs) out I kept ending up with a mouthful of hair. I gave up and am resigned to the fringe now.

  • Your hair looks great! The colour really suits you.

    And speaking as a girl with a big forehead, get the bangs. Side-swept will probably look the best, but straight-cut can look good, too.

  • ahhh you’re so pretty! I think your hair looks great already, but side swept bangs are really the way to go in my opinion… they look great when your hair is up or down.

    Good luck at the hairdresser and stick to your guns!!

  • It looks great, Sasha. The dye might thicken your hair enough to keep the bangs where they should be… Good luck in your whole new life… ^^

  • oh beet you look amazing! you have beautiful eyes and they look really nice when you emphasize them with eye liner and matching eye shadow. you’re much much prettier with black hair and i’m guessing layered bangs too. you have an oval shaped face so side swept layers and bangs will be gorgeous on you. =)

  • De-lurking to say that you look amazing.

    The darker hair really brings forward your pretty eyes, compliments the delicacy of your facial features and as many commentors have noted — your perfect, Crest-commercial-worthy teeth really pop!

    I always thought you were cute, but now? Hot damn!

    (And yes, sideswept bangs would be pretty… don’t do the Zooey D. heavy fringe, it will overpower your face.)

    Also, I noticed that TSS hasn’t commented yet. I think he probably spontaneously combusted when he saw this.

    Ok, back to lurker-ville.

  • I really like the darker shade on you. Black is rough shade to keep up, girl. Next time you dye it, I would recommend a dark dark brown so that you gradually get away from the starkness. I think the dark shade makes your hair look a lot thicker and bangs would look lovely!

    I also want your teeth.

  • Your hair looks good. I think you knew that already when you went in for this self-indulgent, fishing expedition rant on your hair. It would be fine on your other blog; it doesn’t belong here. It does not fit in at all with the gossip blog thing (Remember the thing in writing class about staying topical), and the pre-teen tone of it all detracts, once again, from the level of humor (which I used to believe was intelligent and very witty, albeit acerbic, but smartly so) that I originally loved about Beet. All good things have to come to an end, I guess.

    • I agree to a certain extent that this sort of post is what SiaM is for, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.

    • aah Sheila! may I call ya Shazza?While your comment may be direct and honest, did you not notice how many people comment on EB about Sasha regarding personal subjects? you seem to have your head screwed on right but imagine the pressure of people telling you daily you are fecking wonderful or awful!
      the above mentioned people i guess made a statement of sorts necessary to shut it

      peace to you oh stressed one (not being sarcastic)

    • Oh, yes. Beet is brilliant and she will tell you so. Read SIAM. It’s all about the fabulously insecure.

  • It looks good. I hope you do love it because it will never come out. Use a magic eraser on the color on the wall or windex

  • You’re FUCKING HOT!!! This dark hair looks *so much better* on you than your previous color. I swear, I wanna do you, and I’m not even a guy :)
    *wink*

  • The black hair looks awesome on you…I think your face compliments a look like Megan Fox…you look great!

  • you look amazing! love the new black do.

    i know this is kind of obvious but why not just paint the walls? i know it’s alot of work for just a few black marks but at least you wont have to look at them.

  • you remind me a kara dioguardi the way you talk. the hair looks great. nail polish remover always worked for me on tile and laminate flooring. dont know about plaster though

    • That is so simple & brilliant. Does that really work? If so, I’m going home to paint my tile grout. Well, not tonight, because it’s my birthday, but maybe tomorrow.

  • Make a paste with white vinegar and baking soda. It should be a little less thick than toothpates.

    Spread it over the stains and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

    Scrub it off with a stiff brush and rinse with hot water.

    It SHOULD work.

  • the only thing I’ve ever gotten to work was one of those cleaning sponges that are half white/half blue. I forget what they’re called but the white side cleans up about anything! …sometimes fingernail polish remover works also.

  • Nail polish remover (or just plain acetone, which you can buy from any beauty supply store) usually does the trick. Welcome to the black hair club! :) It looks really cute.

  • Stunning! As for the bangs….start out with longer side bangs…and if you like, go shorter a little at a time. It will still be a nice change, but less commitment..

  • You look fantastic!!! I love the black on you, it really does make a difference, now we can see your blue eyes! You look terrific, i absolutely love it. And the bangs are gonna look awesome too, im sure. Bangs are always good.. lol i love them.

    Thanks for sharing this with us.

  • The hair looks fab.
    Try a Mr Clean: Magic Eraser. I don’t have experience cleaning hair dye specifically but they really are magic, I promise.

  • do NOT get bangs. only girls think bangs are “cute”. us guys KNOW they are horrendous.

  • I was worried at 1st because I didn’t think I’d like it, but just like everyone has said, it really does looks fantastic.
    I’m also on the fence about the bangs. I think that they will probable look great because you are such a cutie pie but they are a pain to train at 1st. (especially side swept one’s) So I hope you have the patience, I didn’t.
    Good luck! ;-)

  • You look stunning! I loved this VLOG! Ignore rude people that have nothing better to do except be hateful.

    Love the hair! Can’t wait to see how you get your bangs cut! More VLOG’s in the future please, so fun!

  • No matter what others have to say, I think it looks great! If you put it on here, and needed feedback to find out if you had screwed up…so what! You didn’t. It rocks!

  • the hair color looks fantastic on you! how short will you be cutting the bangs?.. i say, go for the side sweep long bangs first to see how much you’ll like it :)

  • Zap primer, the dye may bleed through plain white paint. If you cannot find zap, ask someone in the paint section for something that will work just as well. Like the black hair, looks good with your skin color, not sure about bangs though.. you may want to think about it a bit more first. Post a follow up if you do. GL

  • > My goal in life is to make others happy, ya know?

    Much better on my last complaint about too much clothes!

    Hopefully with the hair cut was can see me skin ;)

  • I think i’ve always liked the fact that you keep it real. You know you have flaws and previously seemed to bask in the glory of them. now however you like to look at yourself. You see you did good and are posting a vid to prove that to the world. You are worse than lilo on her funny or die. do your make up better, don’t cut bangs and get over yourself

  • I know that you’re smart, but you sound like an idiot here. Also, if you insist on blogging about your looks, try not to constantly look at yourself while making a video, it shows just how vain you really are. I used to enjoy you, but you are progressively getting more and more irritating and self-absorbed (for no reason, might I add). I concur with a previous comment: Get. Over. Yourself.

  • You look cute! You sound a bit like Britney Spears and I think it’s adorable *pinches your cheeks*!! Sorry can’t help you with walls thing.. if it’s just a plain wall and not tile or shower stall plastic then just paint over it a few times.
