A couple of weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and dye my hair for the very first time! So I didn't go all the way and do my whole head, however I did dye the ends bright purple and I love it! I work in education and that means I'm currently on a six week holiday,whoop! I thought with all the time I would have to wash it out if it went wrong, that now was a great time to experiment. I decided to use the Schwarzkopf Live Colour or as the box says "color" in Purple Punk. Schwarzkopf have some other crazy colours I would love to try like the electric blue but this time I stuck with the purple.
I roped in my mum to give me a hand, and after watching some YouTube video's I found the best way to apply was to part my hair into sections, add the colour and then wrap it in foil. I left it on the ends of my hair for the suggested 20 minutes and then got my mum to wash my head over the bath. I have to say I am super happy with results and can't wait for the Christmas holidays and the chance to do it all over again!
Here's a picture of the finished hair do.....
It's so exciting dying your hair! Yours looks fab! I've dyed mine a candyfloss pink before and most recently a shockingly bright pink! You can see my review here: http://crazyblondegal.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/ion-colour-flash-hot-pink.html Also check out my "About Me" section for a pink picture! I do miss having bright coloured hair, but plan to redye it again in the next couple of months!

Hi Frances, I tried to dye my hair candy floss pink before I dyed it the purple/pink but it didn't take as my hair is too dark! I'll check out your hair colour ASAP. Thanks for leaving a comment!

Your hair looks amazing!! I literally just got my curly hair dip dyed with purple, but went on a ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach which I think soaked my hair and made it green... oops! Think I may have to invest in the colour your using here to re-dye my hair once the semi-permanent stuff comes out - thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean, Thanks for leaving a comment! I can't believe your hair went green, maybe the water had chlorine in it? You should def try out the brand used, it worked really well!

Hi Rachel, I didn't have the guts until very recently, but so glad I did-get a semi dye and then it won't last too many hair washes! Thanks for leaving a comment.

This looks lovely! And it's a great way to test out new colours if you don't want to do your whole head. I've had so many different colours. Bright blue hair was definitely a favourite! :) I've also had purple, pink, red and white blonde. :)

Your hair looks amazing! I've toyed with dying my hair a shade of copper for the last few years (all my cousins have gingery-red hair and I have the skin tone but am an oddity with dark brown hair). Just need to get round to actually doing it! :-) x
ReplyDeleteWow your hair looks gorgeous! I wish I was brave enough to go crazy colours these days, I've been every colour under the sun but I'm back to natural brown now... booo! Lovely blog :) xx
