From black hair to purple hair

Just wanna share about how i dyed my hair purple last month.

After accepting the fact that i couldn't have purple hair without having to bleach it, i decided to just go for it. 

So i went to boots to get this bleaching kit from Bleach London:

It comes with a reincarnation mask which is incredible. 

This is my hair color before bleaching it. My hair condition wasn't really good to start with, after numerous chemical products.





At first i had no guts to bleach all of it so i bleached just the half of it. Was quite happy with the outcome so i felt that i should just bleach all of it.  

I bought another box of bleach for that. This time i used the high lift bleaching powder from Jerome Russell and its developer. Worst decision ever. Not saying that it is not good at all. In fact, it lightens my hair more than Bleach London but dear all, you should never use different brands of bleach for your hair. I was so stupid, so learn from my mistake. Stupid mistake. You would understand what i am saying from the following pictures. 

You can see that different brands have different bleaching power (is that what you call it?). When you are not sure of the outcome, don't risk it. Again, i wasn't thinking straight from switching brands for different parts of my hair. I looked like a mushroom for a day.

Within three days, i bleached my hair thrice. I know, huge mistake, but i am never a person with much patience. I couldn't even look into the mirror when my hair was this golden and orangey and patchy. So i bleached strands of my hair again, with the hope to blend them in a little bit. Sadly, it didn't make much difference. 

After that i dyed my hair with La Riche's plum and violet, got it from bluebanana

The purple sadly, did not last long. It faded after a few days, maybe 4 washes. Ridiculous, i know. I have never had this problem with La Riche before. I used Flamingo pink last time and i lasted for months. So now it has faded to green. It did not go back to the fugly gold, fortunately. 

Alright, end of my hair story, and a big fat thanks to my love who had helped me through the whole hair dying process. I wouldn't have done it without u. 

Just the studded cap and the pink studded shoes and the pink highlights

Got them as gifts and i really love them. Like, really really.

Some bleach and pink dye

Sil did this for me a week ago. Love the pink! but the color faded real quick! Maybe it is because of the salty sea water and too much shampooing =(

Review - Liese Raspberry Brown

Have never really done a review before.

Since i couldn't find many blogs featuring raspberry brown, i thought i could try.

Time to give back after reading so many reviews online =D
Thankful for everyone who is willing to share..so i wanna be one of them whenever possible!

Think this was my fourth time using liese. I've tried platinum beige, milk tea brown and ash brown before. 

Chose a 2 stars colour this time because i don't wanna worry about the dark roots coming out :X

1: Before color

2: One day after

3: Few days after

I really love the color of picture 2. The dye actually made my hair darker, with a slight tint of dark purple. My original hair colour is always a bit brownish, hence it looks bit unhealthy and dry sometime. =(

It has been few weeks now (dyed in august) and the color has gotten more brownish. No one asked me about the change of my hair color so i assumed it was subtle enough. Mum did not nag me too, which was even better. 

I am super satisfied with the color <3 <3 my favourite so far, of all the lieses that i've used.

It would be good if it's a bit darker, so i guess i would choose 1 star colour if there is a next time.

Viv and I used the same colour and this is the outcome. Can u see the difference? Her hair does not take up the colour as much as mine do but there is also a change in the color, from black to dark purple to dark brown. I guess she just needs to use more of the dye.

By the way, we shared two boxes of the dye among three people.
