Before the year ends, I told myself it's time to change things up for 2016. I made a big change with my hair color and I have no regrets. I feel more confident about my hair and my style. It really changes the way I see things. I am loving fashion more and more and my weirdness. I don't want to go with the waves, I want to go against it. Especially in the Philippines because some people can really judge you with the way you look, the way you dress up and etc so some people are afraid to take the risk of showing who they really are. What I realized when I changed my hair is how I love fashion and how other people do not appreciate it.
So, if you are like me go for a change! #BeYouBeDifferent
For sure you can still see my yellow tones because those are my past hair colors and I've been really struggling bleaching them off but I learned you can correct these yellow tones by using Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo. You can order from DIY BEAUTY SHOP. This protein-enriched conditioning formula tone down brassiness on blonde and silver hair. It shampoos away yellow, and refreshes faded highlights.
Before you settle on your gray hair, you have to be mentally prepared that you are willing to put your hair through the potential damage from bleach and dye. Second, you have to know how to take care of your hair after.
Once you have fully decided, I'll guide you through the process.
1.) Bleach your hair
Warning. This will take awhile. Mine took 5 hours to make my black asian hair this bright. Gray dye on top of light blonde hair results in the gray hair color. It took me three processes because I dyed my hair brown black before. If you are planning to bleach your hair, do not dye your hair black, brown and red. These are the colors that you should stay away from if you're planning to achieve this look. Yes, it will look crispy and dry but I'll share to you later the home treatment that you can use so it won't cost you a lot for salon hair treatments.
2.) Apply Gray Dye
Separate your hair into 4-6 sections depending on how thick or long your hair is. This will make it easier for you to apply the gray dye.
Apply Vaseline or lotion around your entire hairline from forehead to the nape of your neck so the hair dye won't stick to your skin.
Then start applying the grey hair dye evenly through each section of hair until hair is all covered up. Make sure to start from the roots. Leave the dye on your hair for approximately 30-45 minutes.
3.) Wash your hair
After 30-45 minutes, rinse the dye out of your hair. Make sure to use a color-safe shampoo to wash your hair followed by color-safe conditioner. Blow dry to see results and style it whatever you want. I personally use Morocco Argan oil to make it shinier and softer that I got from CYNOS INSIDE HAIRCARE.
How to Make Hair Color Last?
1.) Use Sulfate-free Shampoo
When shopping for shampoo, always look for "Sulfate-free" or "Non-sulfate" Shampoo and Conditioner for your hair. I had one question: What are sulfate, anyway? Sulfates, essentially, are what make shampoos turn into a thick lather in the shower. This ingredient, which is standard for most shampoo products has additionally come under attack for causing frizziness and damaging colored hair. Even after getting Keratin or Brazilian Blowout, hair stylists will recommend sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain the style. I personally use Matrix Biolage. Whenever I don't use these two, my hair is all over the place.
2.) Get a Hair Treatment
You don't have to go to the salon to get your hair treated. You can use Skala Argan Marroquino Hair Treatment Conditioning Cream. It deeply restored, nourished and revitalized hair. Your hair will have its natural shine and silkiness. Bye bye dry and dull hair! I got this from DIY BEAUTY SHOP.
What products did I use?
Wella 050 (Cooling Violet - Silver) Hair Dye, Skala Hair Treatment from DIY BEAUTY SHOP
Matrix Biolage Shampoo & Conditioner from MATRIX PHILIPPINES
I love my new hair. I think it's really fun to experiment and try different colors, so I'm probably going to dye it blue or something else. Because why not? #BeYouBeDifferent
