Hairs to protection

This might sound a bit dur but I don’t think people actually use heat protection on their hair unless they are using hair straightener or hair dryer… You should use some sort of heat protection on you hair even when your not using heat… Just like you should wear sun block everyday… Like I said it might sound obvious but if there a sun in the sky you should protect yourself from any harmful rays.

she’s just a cosmic girl or not

The last time I dyed my hair was around december, I used Preference wild ombre which because my hair is quite dark didn’t work very well :(…
I wanted to try a colour I hadn’t tried before so I was really exited to try this Superdrug Colour Vibrance in Cosmic Purple this would have been £4.09 but its on offer for 2 for £5.
So my hair is naturally dark dark brown so by looking at the colour indication chart my hair was supposed to go deep cosmic purple.
Firstly you need to squeeze the creme colour into the creme developer make sure you mix it well, make sure you remove the nozzle tip.
by looking at how much dye was in the bottle I could tell it wouldn’t be enough so if you have hair past your shoulders I’d say buy two boxes if you want a full complete coverage, but if you just want to use this as a touch up one box will be enough.
put protective gloves on which are provided in the box, make sure you are wearing a old t-shirt or  place a plastic bag or towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing.
Get rid of all the knots in your hair using a wide toothed comb.
The first thing I usually notice is the smell, I thought that it would have a strong chemical smell but surprisingly it wasn’t that bad.
Apply the mixture to your roots then add the rest of the dye trough your hair. If you have any dye left over then squeeze the remainder all over your hair and give yourself a little head massage.
Leave the dye to develop for 30mins… I tend to dance about or watch youtube videos to pass time.
Once you have danced your 30mins away add a lil water and work the colour through your hair then jump in the shower and rinse your hair with warm water until the water runs clear this will take a while so be patient.
shampoo your hair ensuring all dye has been removed, apply the intensive colour conditioner and leave for about 2mins then rinse. The conditioner definitely puts the moisture back into your hair and leaves it feeling nice a smooth.
This was a really simple process all you need is common sense I guess.
I was quite disappointed with the outcome of this hair dye my hair went more of a reddish brown not at all purple this was probably because I didn’t have enough product. I’m not going to say I wont try this product again I am willing to give it another go just because the colour on the box is sooooo beautiful.
