DIY: Dyeing your hair in different colours! Pink and purpleeeee

This is super outdated now that my hair has faded :(

As you know, my hair has undergone several changes in the short 5 months.





To this! Which I didn't blog about :(
It's actually a pastel purple, I just mixed one whole lot of conditioner with a drop of dye. haha. 
Faded in a week because it was pastel :(
I used La Riche Directions Plum btw :)

 So now I'm going to teach you how I got my hair to this awesome range of colours!


Pretty hor? <3

Well. It's pretty simple, you can save loads of money and get more clothes!

Step 1: Make sure your hair is clean, wash it with shampoo and DO NOT CONDITION. The oil will prevent the hair dye from getting absorbed into your hair!

Step 2: Put on your gloves, open the tub of dye. (prevents you from fumbling later) Segment out the portion of hair that you want to dye.

Step 3: Put a piece of aluminium foil below the portion of hair that you have sectioned out. 

Step 4: Slab on the dye!! Make sure it is evenly spread out and coats every strand of your hair. 

Step 5: Fold the aluminium foil up nicely.

Step 6: You can choose to leave it or take off your gloves and put plastic bags over the aluminium foil. (I did this because my aluminium foil got dye on the outside, so I didn't want to dirty myself while I went to do other stuff. So yeap! Optional though!

Step 7: Carry on with whatever you have to do! Leave it on for as long as you want to. La Riche is a semi permanent dye, it won't harm your hair as much as permanent dyes would :)

Step 8: Once you think you've left the dye on for a long enough time, you can rinse it off! Rinse with cold water :)

AND TADAA~~


I'm so in love with this colour combination!! Mega love! However... Colours fade. Especially with bleached ends.
P.S. I used La Riche Directions Plum and Carnation Pink ^^


Now, the purple portion looks greyish. The pink part is still see-able though. haha!
I'm crying buckets thinking about how my hair colour faded :'(

But it's ok! I'm planning to try out La Riche Directions Plum and Turquoise next! Same style! Maybe this time, I'll post more in between photos? :)
