Fading Hair - Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

-
The first thing I tried to fade my hair was anti-dandruff shampoo. I have heard that this works wonders and really fades fashion hair dyes. I only had the cheap one on hand, so did not use Head & Shoulders. I don't want to rush into going blonde, I want to take it slow. Previously I have just bleached my hair and then bleached it again and as you may know that destroys your hair.

This is my hair before I used the anti-dandruff shampoo. It was still very bright and very blue. I only have a few weeks to try and fade my hair to a decent colour that will make it easy for me to go blonde. I used a small amount of the shampoo and massaged it into my head. I made sure to scrub it in so I could to try and really get it into my hair. I only left it on for about 20 minutes because my hair started to feel really dry. If I try this again then I might leave it on for a little bit longer.

As you may be able to make out, the dye started to run from my hair really quickly. Luckily when the dye ran it didn't stain my skin, which I've found a lot of dyes do. The other picture is how my hair looks now. As you can see it is a lot lighter than before and not so bright. It is still a really nice colour and has faded to more of a baby blue. In natural light it still looks a little bright but not as much as it did before. I put conditioner on afterwards and left it on for another 20 minutes so my hair still felt soft when it dried.

I will definitley be using this again to fade my hair, but I will probably try some other methods too. Next I will be trying baking soda and fairy liquid. I've tried to find reviews or tutorials on how much I should mix but it has been difficult to find, so I think I will just wing it and hope for the best.

I will post another update soon!

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...
