It's Daisy, yesterday night I dip dyed my hair turquoise and I love it so much I just had to share it with you. Last year both Holly and I dip dyed our hair; Holly was originally going to bleach her's and add a colour but she liked it so much bleached she didn't, while I dyed mine a dark purple but unfortunately it faded into a brown.
This time I did a bit more research than just buying some dye and winging it; I order 'Le Riche, Direction - Turquoise' from Amazon, I order 2 tubs for £6.50 as 1 tub was £4.00 and it made sense to buy the 2 because it's the same cost as dyes from 'L'oreal' and 'Garnier' but I get twice as much. Anyway, I ordered the turquoise because it complimented my complexion better than the other colours. I also order a pack of 3 hair tint brushes and a bowl but I was disappointed by Amazon because it only arrived today (a week later than the dye) and I was too impatient to wait for them so I did it with a comb, but in the future I would recommend to everybody to get at least some tint brushes because you can easily use a plastic bowl for mixing.
The colour you see on the tub is what the dye looks like inside, it's a very intense, dark blue but it comes out so much lighter so don't panic if you've got dye that looks dark. I would strongly recommend that if you're planning on dying your hair go to a professional hair dressers unless you don't mind that you might mess up, but here's how I dyed my hair. If you plan on diluting the dye use white conditioner and mix into a bowl, you should apply the diluted solution on bleached hair for the best results, especially if you have dark hair. Wear some scruffy clothes because you will get dye on them and rub your hands in olive oil so they can't get stained; I then dipped by comb into the tub and brushed the dye it into the tips of my hair (you can do the same with the brushes) make sure you dye both sides of your hair so there isn't any natural hair showing. Finally I dipped my fingers into the dye for extra colour and rubbed it in. After I had to wait 15 minutes, then wash the colour out with warm water until it ran clear; but straight after the dying process I wrapped my hair in cling film which kept the hair hotter for the dye to work better.
This is my end result.
I hope this has given you some good tips if you're plan on dying your hair and I would recommend using 'Directions' because I've been really impressed and they have such a wide range of colours.
Over the holiday I'll be topping up the colour so it doesn't fade but I obviously can't keep my hair like this for school so I'll be researching ways of how to get rid of the colour without going to the hairdressers because I really hate going, and I'll post how I did it for you guys.
Love Holly and Daisy x
