Hiya Beautiful People!
I've had some lovely comments on previous posts about my hair, so I thought I'd show you guys how I gave my hair an ombre makeover!
Who doesn't know the ombre trend? It's still hot this summer, and so easy to do, loads of celebrities are showing off their results, the three above are some of my favourites.
I'm personally not a fan of the too drastic dark hair to bright blonde, I opted to try a more subtle look, it blends alot better and looks more natural
On a side note: I have only bleached my hair extensions, bleach is really strong and can be dangerous. Please don't bleach your hair yourself, ask your hairdresser :)
So let's begin....
I used L'Oreal Perfect Blonde Creme Maximum, it lightens your hair up to six shades, so its strong stuff
I also bought a brush from Boots for £1.99, to blend the dye more easy
I brushed my extensions, and lay them out on a very old towel!
The dye was easy to mix, (make sure your wearing the gloves provided!) I focused on the ends, as they were what I wanted to lighten most, then used the dye brush to brush the dye in upward strokes for a more blended effect
After about 25 minutes or so, I could see the golden colour I wanted coming through, you could always leave it on for up to 45 minutes if you want blonder, just remember to keep an eye on it as it can change quickly
After I washed my extensions and applied the conditioner, I let them dry naturally then styled, here's the result:
What do you think? Love it or loathe it? I love the sunkissed summer vibe it has, and also not touching my hair is a bonus, maybe could have left the dye on longer, but I didn't want to ruin the tutorial for you guys! Lol
They were really old extensions I used, so when I come to purchase more soon I think I'll ombre them too, now I know it'll turn out! I can always dye the ends back!
Hope you enjoyed :) Please comment/subscribe, it means so much to me!
Lets all get on trend!
