Going Red Red! with Loreal Excellence Fashion

Hey hey hey~!

After 1 year of not DIY-ing my own hair colour, I feel so damn rusty. Lol. Anyways, finally get to change my (eww) bleached fringe to awesome spicy red. Well, I dyed 2 colours with Loreal Excellence Fashion - Intensive Spicy Red and Intensive Copper Red .




What's inside? : 



Extra materials that I used:



[Methods on how I do it for my hair]

Step 1: Apply the protective serum on dry/damaged hair(mostly at the end of the roots).
Step 2: Mix and stir creme colorant and creme developer in a plastic/ceramic bowl(DO NOT use metal bowl)
Step 3: Wear gloves. (Its a must!)
Step 4: Apply hair dye onto your roots that are more visible first. Then, apply to the rest of your hair, starting from the bottom. 
Step 5: Wrapped your hair with plastic cling wrap to trap the heat emitting from your head.(so that the hair dye would evenly spread out)


Step 6: Patience. Wait for 40-45 minutes.
 Step 7: Rinse your hair THOROUGHLY so that all excessive hair dye are washed out.
Step 8: Apply conditioner and leave-in for 2 minutes before rinsing your hair again.

 

FINALLY: Towel dry, blow dry/naturally dry it and its done!

DO'S:
1.Wear an old shirt or a shirt that you confirm plus chop won't wear outside.
2. Rub Vaseline/Moisturizer around your forehead, back of your ears, around your neck or any other areas that you feel might get stain during the hair dye process. OR
3. Prepare a bowl of water and cotton so that you could rub it off ASAP when your skin got stained.
4. Wrapped a towel(that you don't mind it getting stain) around your neck. 

DONT'S:
1. Do not keep leftover hair dye. Dispose it immediately.
2. Do not use your bath towel that you regularly use for towel drying your hair as it might get stained(unless you don't mind getting it stained).
3. Do not wear white clothings until you're sure(120% SURE) that you've completely rinse your hair till there's no excessive hair dye left.
4. Do not wear your precious accessories(earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces) while dyeing your hair unless you've something to protect it.  



What do you guys think? Red enough? ^^ Haha.
Rate: 8.5/10
Would I recommend: YES! If your hair color is dark, don't fret. It will give off the 'red shine'. It won't be bright bright red, but under sunlight, it totally shows that its red. ^-^








THANK YOU(^O^)/
