Hair that's...well... hairy - The results!

WOOOOOOOOOP WOOOOOOOOOOP!

Well, after taking a whole evening of me and my mum both trying to bleach and colour the ends of my hair, it finally came out blue!

But, the thing is, the packet said "electric" blue. And although I love and prefer the way it came out to the colour on the packet, it didn't come out that bright. It actually came out "sea" blue, so I look like a mermaid! I think it looks awesome! I've had loads of compliments about it already, so it must have come out well!

As I promised yesterday, here are some before and after photos:

So, as you can see, it came out more of a light bluey green as opposed to a bright blue. On the photos it looks lighter and more grey than it is in real life. But i'm really happy with the results, and that's all that matters! (By the way, I got both the highlighting kit and the dye from Superdrug)

Hair that's... well... hairy

Helloooo!

I know I haven't posted in what seems like forever, but I've been so busy! It's the summer hols now though, so hopefully I will have more time.

I don't have any tutorials to show you lovely lot at the moment, but there is something I'm going to review for you all.

Since it's the summer I decided to do something with my hair, so I decided to dip dye the ends. I'm not allowed "un-natural hair colour" at my school so just before I go back to school I'm going to have a hair cut so they can chop off the dyed bits. Now, I've never dyed my hair before so I'm hoping it goes well! Lots of my friends have had it done; mostly pink, purple, red or blonde. I'm a brunette and I decided to dip dye mine electric blue! I'm so excited, I hope it comes out right!

I'm going to be bleaching the ends first so the colour comes out brighter and that means that even if the blue colour doesn't show up, i'll still have blonde dip dyed ends!

What i'm going to do is review the products I will use. I'm dying it tonight when my dad's gone out, so then my mum can help me with it with no interruptions.

The bleach i'm using is part of a highlighting kit, just because it was easier using the bleach from that than buying some seperate.  The kit is called "Perfect Blonde (Créme) Highlight Kit" by Lóréal Paris.


The blue i'm going to use is "Smart Colour Electic Blue Semi-Permanent Hair Colour" By Smart Beauty.

I'll post back later with the results and a before and after! Really excited now!
