Just to start off with I thought I filmed all of the dying process and thinning my hair out for you guys but obviously not haha, so I didn't have the footage that I wanted so I'm going to try and run you through as easy as possible through my blog :)
A little disclaimer too : dye at your own risk! I've dyed my hair at home for years and I know my hair well enough to know it can with stand some bad treatment, also the colour will depend on your hair texture, colour and condition.
Dyes I used :
Olia (3.6 Deep Cherry)
Slaon Radiance (66.46 Mahogany Brown)
First of all I thinned out any bulkiness and trimmed my split ends to give for an easy application of the Olia dye, this was my 'fill' colour (how to thin your hair at home post will be up soon as possible). A fill colour is what you need when you are going from a light hair colour such as blonde to a red tone or purple tone hair colour so that the colour will last longer and won't be so bright when you put your desired colour on top. I used the Olia 3.6 deep cherry first which as you can see in the images below turned out very patchy and uneven ( thank goodness this was just the fill colour!) I sectioned my hair straight down the middle and then 3 further division on either sides creating 6 sections, starting at the mid lengths and working down (leaving your roots as the hair is virgin so the colour will be very vibrant.) Working with the bottom layers and moving up my head. Only rinse your hair with cold water as the red pigment will be stripped more by warm/hot water, only condition as shampoo will do the same.
I then waited to let my hair air dye , can't be too damaging haha!
After this time I saturated my hair with the Salon Radiance 66.46 mahogany brown, starting at the roots, I know you shouldn't start at the roots but this was where I had to focus the colour. Starting with the top sections of my head first and working down the the underneath layers of my hair, opposite to how I dyed my hair the first time, but using the same sectioning technique.
Once my hair was completely soaked in the dye I let it sit for the time given in the instructions, (check instructions before application) Once the process was finished I rinsed my hair with cold water as before and only condition, adding a leave in conditioner and let your hair air dry as before.
Final Result
Bow is from New Look (was in the Christmas sales.)
I hope that this was easy for you to understand and I didn't complicate it any further, obviously if you have any questions just send me an email or contact me through any of my social media.
Also Im not sure whether to go a little bit darker, let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for being patient guys and I'll have that 'How to thin your hair at home' post up really soon!
Lots of love xo
