Keep The Mane Thing The Main Thing |
For many years now I've been wanting to dip dye my hair. Pink, Blue, Purple, Red? I couldn't decide coz all of them look so super good. I never got the courage to do so but also because I've never wanted to spend a big sum of $$$ on the mane. Somehow, this year I felt I should do it because if I don't I'd be too old for it :D haha!
After few weeks of thinking, I've finally decided to cut and colour my hair. It was last Saturday after work, I went to Unique Essence (5 mins drive from my house). Until then I have not yet decided what colour to go with. I went there with 4 photos and let the hair stylist, Suki, pick. I never regretted since that decision was made. However, I'd like to share my experience that day. First, Suki cut my super long hair. I love the length and the shape! Then, her helper came to bleach the lower half of my hair. The bleaching process was one of the most torturing process ever! I sat for about 4 hours with very very minimal movement. My back was as stiff as a tree bark. I was in pain, still could not make any big movement to stretch. I tried to sleep but my position was uncomfortable to fall asleep in. When I finally see her coming to check my hair I was leaping in joy inside. So finally after the dread, the bottom half of my hair became dark yellow like this:
The moment I saw my hair looking like that, I actually thought of backing out. I was scared. This was the most drastic thing I've ever done to my hair! And the texture was so so rough it felt like my barbie doll's tangled hair D: But of course, I let them carry on...
So the next step was to make my hair look like this:

What a sacrifice... |
They sectioned my hair into 2 parts, the top layer was dyed in Ash Green and the lower part, Blue. And it resulted to this... You ready?
Oh, how nice! |
This was taken the day after when I was in church. |
The torturing 7-8 hours at this time, is worth it! I wasn't supposed to wash my hair until 48 hours but being me, I washed it the day after. Like 24 hours after. I regret doing so coz the colour did come off a little. And to maintain the colour I cannot wash my hair daily, which is such a torture. I guess this will be my first and last time. Oh, let me also share what shampoo I have to use. It's Schwarzkopf's Color Freeze which cost RM30.00 per bottle:
OK, so I am happy with the final product of my hair and I feel it looks really good now that the green colour is more obvious. It blends so well with the blue. And yes, I be honest. I feel chio and received so many compliments. The total cost was RM320. I am not sure if it was normal or over priced but I'm happy with this though I don't think I'd do it again mainly because I won't get to wash my hair daily. I hate oily looking hair ok? Ok, since I spent so much, let me post one more photo for your reading pleasure :P
Thank you for reading!
Love,
Sheryn
