New Hair

If you read my blog regularly, you probably know that I'm a fan of pastel colours and have previously dyed my hair lilac and pink, however the colour faded so easily and I decided to give it another go! I loved my blonde hair, but the reason I had bleached it originally was to go lilac. Here's another attempt!

I used the Bleach London bleach on my hair and it worked really well. My hair went from this: 

To this:

I then used the Bleach London 'Violet Skies' semi-permanent colour, and it turned the top of my hair a lovely lilac shade, but the ends were only toned! I've used the Bleach London colours before and for me they've only lasted one wash, which is a massive shame as they do some amazing colours. I didn't actually get a photo at this point as I knew I was going to re-do it with something else.

I ended up finding this Schwarzkopf bright pink / purple colour, and since I didn't want a colour this bright, I mixed it with white conditioner before applying it to my hair.

I needed a white conditioner to mix the dye with, so I used this one by John Freida. If the conditioner you mix the dye with isn't white, you won't have a good indication of the colour the dye will turn out. I gradually mixed tiny amounts of the dye into the conditioner with a spoon until I achieved the colour I wanted.

I love my hair now! Hopefully this dye will stay longer than ones I've used previously, but if it doesn't I still have 90% of the dye tube left since it takes so little to achieve a light colour.
