L'Oreal Colorista Indigo Review

-
This week I will be reviewing L'Oreal Colorista. This is one of the very few hair dyes I have never used before, so I was slightly worried that it wouldn't agree with my hair as I have weird hair so certain dyes don't take.

Colorista has so many colours to chose from and if I had tried it a few weeks ago I definitely wouldn't have chosen Indigo, but since I am obsessed with blue hair at the moment I saw this colour in the shop and fell in love!
The instructions say to put the dye on hair that has just been shampooed and dried, which I found weird as most dyes instruct you to put it on dirty hair or wet hair. The dye itself goes on really nicely and the consistency is great as it's not to runny. The only problem I found was that once you put the dye on it doesn't look like it's covering. I ended up using way too much since it looked like it wasn't taking and I could see my old hair colour coming through.

I left the dye on for around 45 minutes since I wanted to make sure it really took and I usually leave hair dye on much longer than it suggests. My hair was so soft when I washed the dye out, which is weird since my hair is usually dry after dying my hair. Whenever I dye or wash my hair I use argan oil and heat protection spray before I dry my hair, but I didn't have any at the time. My hair has never been this soft after dying it, so that is a surprising bonus from this dye.
 

The dye took really well to my hair and looks amazing. It's more purple than it is blue but as you can see it looks purple in some light and blue in others. My hair feels really soft and the colour is beautiful. At the moment, before I've washed it, I think this dye is great, in some lights the colour looks exactly the same as it does on the box and the purple colour is lovely. I've had purple hair before and I hated how I looked because purple hair doesn't usually suit me.

I only dyed my hair yesterday, so I will post an update after the first wash and then again after a few washes, but for now, I love this dye and think it is definitley worth the money!

I would like to thank my amazing cousin for helping me dye my hair!

L'Oreal Colorista Indigo, 10 Wash Update

-
Image
So, It has now been 10 washes! On the packaging L'Oreal Colorista claims that it will completely wash out after 10 washes, so that's why I waited till now to give an update.   This is the colour now, it has faded quite a bit! The colour is still very vibrant and blue, it hasn't become dull like most dyes. The dye washes out nicely, it fades to a lighter blue which is great. I've not noticed too much fading over the last weeks, it stayed dark blue/purple for quite a while.   The first picture is the colour my hair was before I used the hair dye and the second picture is how it looks now. As you can see it is so close to being the colour it was, maybe with another wash the it will be exactly the same as before. I just want to add, I wash my hair in hot water as I like my hot bath's and am too lazy to wash my hair in cold water afterwards. As some of you may know, washing your hair in cold water keeps the colour lasting longer, so I would guess that if...

Jerome Russell B Blonde Bleach Review

-
Image
Since I dye my hair constantly and I am always changing the colour, I obviously bleach my hair. I have used a lot of different bleaches before but the Jerome Russell B Blonde Bleach is the one I have used every time I've bleached my hair over the last year. Like most bleaches, it does leave your hair dry and has caused my hair to break, so far I have not found that miracle bleach that doesn't damage your hair. The reason I like this bleach is because it really does lift the colour. Recently I have only been using it to bleach my roots as I am happy with blue hair, at the moment. The last time I bleached all of my hair was just before I went blue. The colour I had before was pastel pink, so I didn't have to get rid of a stubborn dark colour. I have used this dye on black hair and it did lift really well. Since I had pastel pink hair before I bleached it, I was left with mostly blonde hair with some parts of my hair remaining a sort of coral colour. This was not a prob...

Trying Something New

-
So all my posts until now have been about hair dye, bleach and the things I use to keep my hair healthy. I am now planning on going blonde and keeping the blonde for a while, probably over Christmas and into the new year. This means that I won't be dying my hair crazy colours and won't have any reviews to put up. I still want to update my blog and keep posting, so I have an idea. I am going to try and remove the blue while keeping the hair damage to a minimum. So I will be trying things like Vitamin C and Shampoo, Baking Soda, Blonde Shampoos, Toner and other methods to remove as much blue as I can. So I thought that for the next few posts I could review how well this goes and which methods I think work more. I will also be posting about the dye I use to go blonde, if I use bleach or Colour B4 then I will review those as well.  If you think that is a good idea then let me know! If you would like me to upload different posts, maybe about University, Life, Make-up, Music or...
