Ombre Take Two + D.I.Y

Ahh! It's literally been a while since my last post on this blog. The reason for my absence lately is due to everyone in my house getting sick.. *whoopie Put that together with my hectic schedule and you'll get the worse cold ever! I drowned myself in blankets and tissues most of the time, but had that burning urge to just get outside and take pictures. Of course that wasn't gonna happen with my mom nagging me to stay in bed.. Which is  the reason why I kind of disappeared. But I can tell you, it was nice to lay on my bed and catch up on missed shows and check my favorite blogs for once.

Anyways, on to the actual post or else it would just be ongoing rambles. Aha.  As you guys may know from my instagram (if you have checked..) I've recently gotten my hair ombre'd but with time the dye eventually faded and just looked rachet. So I've been recently contemplating on either getting it profesionally redone to having it done at home. And since I've been getting alot alot of compliments and questions on how my friend did it.. I decided to recreate it myself. 

This kit was really inexpensive; I believe it was roughly $11.00 at my local drugstore. I do recommend buying the Medium to Dark Brown Hair First and than going ahead and get the Blonde to Light Brown Kit for better results.

(*Note; Ombre-ing your hair is very damaging so make sure to buy a good deep conditioner!

Also, Don't forget the aluminum foil

Make sure you read and follow the instructions on the box when mixing up the dyes, and be sure to use gloves when directly applying the peroxide to the hair! If your worried about the fade line, Do what I did and apply the highlighting solution twice. Personally I think this is what gave it the fully faded look.

Ombre Instructions:

The first step is to divide four sections of your hair on each side of your head.

First first round of bleaching should start on your very tips and make your way up atleast 4 inches (cover the sections with the foil) - wait 30 minutes

• rinse and blow dry your hair

Second round of bleaching (after removing the foil and drying first round) make your way up to chin / jawbone area to achieve some sort of gradiant - 40 minutes with foil wrapped round it

Rinse and Apply with the Shampoo + Conditioner provided

 SUCCESS!!! + More hair pics coming up!

I really love how messy and beachy it turned out. Knowing me I'll probably opt' to make it lighter in the near future. Alot of you may be thinking "Been there done that" but I love the texture it adds to just plain hair.. also I lalalove how dip dyes look overall.

On the side note, I'm currently editing my blog's background and layout. As well as making up the days I've missed blogging. 

See you all soon! & Goodluck
