DIY Ombre

Hello Lovelies! So I had to create another blog because well, I forgot my email and password. Haha! Anywho, I always wanted to go for the ombre look, but never had the time or the money. (I mean in this economy who does?!) So I while I was at work looking around at the hair dyes and all that good stuff, I noticed the Loreal Paris Feria Wild Ombre box, before I even bought the box I wanted to see reviews and tutorials, and well I got convinced to buy it and try it myself! I purchased one box which was the 060 for medium to dark hair. Now let me tell you that my hair is a bunch of different colors already, so I was a little nervous to try it out. Also, one side of my hair for some reason has always been lighter than the other. Anyways I told my love that I was going to attempt doing the ombre look at his place, and so I began to prepare my work space. And this is what came in the box:
You get this cool comb that helps spread the color through your hair (I decided to wash it after I used it and keep it). So after opening everything and mixing them together (HEADS UP! The process for the pouring the powder in the bottle is difficult. TAKE YOUR TIME!) I used an old tshirt because in case this is your first time dying your hair, well it WILL get messy. I did my tips first and let that set for 3-5 minutes then finished coloring the rest of my hair. I went up at least 3-4 inches for all my layers. I parted my hair first just to make it easier. And so I waited 45 minutes. (ONLY wait up to 45 minutes, do not go for more than that, remember it's bleach, so it WILL damage your hair). Once that was done I washed my hair our with the shampoo conditioner they provided, but I also decided to use my Organix shampoo and conditioner just to help my ends come back to life. 
Overall I really like the color and quality of my hair. If you don't want to spend crazy amounts of money to get the ombre look, then I definitely recommend this product. I hope this was helpful for you guys! 

Here is my hair before attempting the ombre look (ignore the messy frizziness going on, I had work earlier haha!)

This was while I was waiting (about 20 minutes into the process)

 And this was the final result! 


Have a wonderful day loves!
