Update Schwarzkopf and L'Oreal Colorista Review

-
It has been almost 4 weeks since I dyed my hair and my hair has now faded quite a bit. I have done updates on the Indigo hair dye and how it washes out up to 10 washes after dying it, so if you would like to know more about how that dye fades then check it out here.


Here is my hair the day after I dyed it and then 1 wash later. As you can see it hardly faded which is great. I know there are some dyes that fade a lot after just 1 wash. The Colorista is really good when it comes to fading as it doesn't fade much until around 4/5 washes. Surprisingly (to me) the Schwarzkopf didn't fade at all after the first wash and became more visible.


The picture on the left is my hair a week after I dyed it, so around 3/4 washes later. As you can see it has faded quite a bit, but is still very blue and very dark. I noticed that in natural light the Schwarzkopf lasted much longer than the Colorista. After dying my hair, both colours blended in together and it looked like I had only put 1 colour on my hair, but after a couple of washes you could see the difference. The picture on the right is around 2 weeks after I dyed it. As you can see it is no longer a dark blue and is now more vibrant and bright. This surprises me from these hair dyes as the colour is much more bright after washing it a few times and doesn't go flat like others.


This is my hair now, after 3-4 weeks. It has faded quite a bit and the Schwarzkopf has faded a lot too. It is still quite bright which is great, but the ends are starting to fade into a lighter blue. The colour is still vibrant and is a really nice blue. I expected the Schwarzkopf to fade a lot quicker than the Colorista as I have had bad experiences with it before, but it lasted really well. I think I may give Schwarzkopf another try at some point, maybe try the turquoise.

I knew how the Colorista would fade as I have used it before and loved it. The Schwarzkopf was surprisingly great at lasting, I've had trouble with it before. The colours started off looking the same and after a couple of washes I started o notice the difference, but after a few more washes they blended again to look like it was one colour. I really do not like the thickness of Schwarzkopf and the fact that one tube does not go very far, but how it fades is great. I will probably try another colour at some point, but it will not be on my regular list of dyes to use.

Hope this review helps. As I said I knew I would like Colorista, so tried to keep this review mainly about Schwarzkopf.

L'Oreal Colorista Indigo, 10 Wash Update

-

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...
