No more roots! Yay! It's been a year since I dyed my hair and I let my roots grow to, like, almost my ears because I'm just lazy as fuck but never fear because things are all good now. This is the result of my box hair dye job that I did yesterday (with the help of my sister) and I think I did all right if I must say so myself! Hehe.
I used Dariya Palty's Caramel Brown hair dye. I was debating on whether or not I'm going to do a review-type of a post but whatever. I'll just go with the flow.
This is the second time I've ever dyed my hair, and I had used Palty last time I dyed it too, in the same colour. My friend told me about Palty last summer and after doing a whole lot of reading about it, I really wanted to try it out myself! What I love about Palty is that it actually dyes Asian hair. Like, my sister once used I think L'Oreal or some brand like that to dye her hair and the colour barely showed up. But compared to brands like L'Oreal, Palty has less hair dye in the box, and so I had to use 2 boxes. I think I bought them at around $13 per box. You can find them at the beauty section of T&T Supermarket, or go to one of those Asian beauty stores (considering I live in Vancouver, there's a lot of those around here, especially in Richmond).
The first time I used it, it was much much easier dyeing it considering my hair was even in terms of colour. The box comes with instructions (of course), a bottle of developer, a tube of hair colour, a comb applicator, a pair of gloves, and conditioner. You squeeze the hair colour into the bottle of developer and shake it (well actually, I just read that you should just roll the bottle.. but I shook it) until it is mixed thoroughly. Then screw on the comb applicator and apply it to your hair. The instructions are all in Japanese, but you can find pictures of English translated instructions by googling it. The instructions say to apply the dye starting from the back section of your hair to the front, and from the tips to the roots. The instructions then say to leave the dye in your hair for 20 minutes, but on a lot of reviews people did on Palty, they left it in for 40 minutes, so that's what I did too. After that, wash your hair (I washed it in cold water) until the water runs clear and then apply the conditioner that is provided.
This time, since I had roots, I applied the dye to my hair from the back to the front, doing my roots first. Then I waited 5 minutes (as the instructions said), and then applied the rest of the dye from the tips to where I left off from the roots. After I applied all of it, I left it in for I think 30 minutes. Then I washed it off like last time and applied the conditioner.
The colour of my roots matched the rest of my hair really well, but it is a little bit darker in this area in the middle of my hair. I think because I was running out of dye and that was the last place where I was applying it. But overall, it turned out pretty nice!
Next time, I'm thinking about going a little bit lighter, but I'm not entirely sure yet. But yay, I'm happy, and since I dyed my hair, I actually kind of like my hair again, since I hated it after I cut it. Hehe.
