He had to &#8220;be robotic&#8221; as a messenger for those brands, and he quickly realized it didn&#8217;t make him happy. That&#8217;s when he started his YouTube channel, so he could speak to people in the hair color community the way he wanted to. A large part of Guy&#8217;s work involves educating others on his coloring techniques, and even for seasoned professionals, nailing his formula can be tricky.<\/p>\n<div id=\"video-ad-player-container\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Before, I felt like I had to mix a bunch of different shades together,&#8221; he told us. &#8220;A little dot of red hair, a little dot of black to this blonde, and let&#8217;s see if it makes this smokey color. For me, I understand it. But to give someone that formula, they get carried away, put too much black in, and then all of a sudden they turn the hair black. It was hard for them to reformulate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, clients and professionals don&#8217;t have to worry about not getting the hair color they&#8217;re anticipating. Guy is launching his own line called Mydentity. The collection includes several of his signature shades, like Dusty Lavender, Silver Smoke, Rose Gold, Arctic Blue, Charcoal, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The offering also includes a creme lightener, demi-permanent developer, and 10-40 volume permanent developers, all in the $5-$8 range. A nice bonus? He scented the color with his favorite lavender fragrance, so it actually smells nice, too.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12753\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/f60ef09571ce7172_IMG_5665.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/f60ef09571ce7172_IMG_5665.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/f60ef09571ce7172_IMG_5665-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/f60ef09571ce7172_IMG_5665-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/f60ef09571ce7172_IMG_5665-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For Guy, this color line fills a two large voids in the color community: the ability to be creative with color and having a support group. &#8220;It has certain pre-blended colors that I customized, and it fills the void of these colors that are in demand, like rose gold and lavenders,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also launched this in part to give his community of followers a new creative outlet. &#8220;Also, as artists, we&#8217;re driven by our emotions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;re human. Everything we do comes from a place that&#8217;s really deep. We&#8217;re vulnerable to falling, and sometimes there&#8217;s no one there to help you up. So what I like to do for the Hair Besties community is help them up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mydentity launched online today and is available for purchase now.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12754\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334-768x785.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334-1002x1024.jpg 1002w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334-300x306.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/3461c6ab21fb22b8_IMG_5334-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re not already following him as part of his legions of &#8220;Hair Besties,&#8221; you&#8217;ve most definitely seen Guy Tang&#8217;s work on Instagram&#8217;s popular page.
