Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of blogging lately! As some of you are probably aware, I have recently launched my own brand, www.rebellionfrase.co.uk, so that has kept me super busy. I now spend my days creating products, buying products, updating the website, tweeting, facebooking, Instagramming and sending out orders, It's just exhausting! I'm having a great time though and through creating my brand I was headhunted, by a company that basically puts together all the lovely branding you see in all of your favourite stores. Although its a lot of hard work its all very exciting!
Anyway onto the DIY Ombre.
I decided to have a go at ombreing my hair with a box dye kit, as its a lot cheaper than going to a salon and I was feeling brave. I used The Loreal Paris Extreme Ombre Kit for brunettes and I must say I was very impressed. The kit gave great results, was easy to apply and made next to no mess. The one downside was the smell of the product, It pretty much knocked me out, I ended up in my garden trying to catch my breath! However I know from previous experiences with bleach/peroxide type products that this is quite normal, so I didn't worry too much!
The best advice I could give when using this product is be patient and don't panic, looking back I should have left the product on for a bit longer, but I was worrying, when your sat with this stuff in your hair you tend to build up horrible scenarios of bad things that could happen in your head, for example
"I'm going to go blind"
"My hair is going to catch on fire"
"the dog might accidentally eat some of it and die"
"My hairs going to fall out"
Or my personal favourite " Oh dear god, get it off me, I'm going to die"
It's fairly likely that none of these scenarios will actually occur, so tell your brain to quit worrying and suck it up. Just keep an eye on it and you'll be fine and if you do fuck it up, go get a box dye in your natural colour and just dye over it. If it really really goes wrong, which it probably won't, just take yourself down to the hairdressers and get it fixed!
Let me know if you give it a go, I'd love to see your results!
Lots of love
