turquoise days are here
what’s been up? 😀
oh nothing much, just that i…
…got myself turquoise hair! *sparkly eyes* hahaha. I LOVE IT TO BITS! love love love turquoise.
wondering how I did it? nope i did not go to the salon. did it myself! had to bleach my hair first.
i used La Riche Directions Hair Lightening Kit 30% Vol. had to bleach 3 times and about 1-2hrs each to achieve this. and some parts are not lightened enough because the bleach ran out. haha. so.. for people with dark hair like mine, i’d suggest for you to get 40%vol (so that you won’t have to bleach so many times), and 2-3 kits if you want to do a full head with long hair. the best part is that my hair remained so silky even after bleaching! my hair isn’t in the best condition to start with, but i swear the bleach did not make it worse at all! it was still the same 😀 and i did not follow the instructions given! applied heat even though the instructions said not to. ;P i went ahead with that because during the strand test i realised that the heat did not do any damage to my hair at all. the strand test is very important. please do it if you’re intending to bleach your hair. 🙂
as for the dye, i used Turquoise and Alpine Green by La Riche Directions! hahaha i’m a big fan of them now. 🙂
to prevent the colour from fading so soon, i’m using Bedhead Colour Combat Colour Goddess Shampoo! Sulphate free.
also, to maintain the turquoise colour, i’m going to buy Joico Color Endure Violet Shampoo. It gets rid of yellow tones, thus preventing the colour from turning too green.
yep. so that’s it! 😀
