4 | Changing Hair Colour

Hahahha I place in all the photos first and it make me feel like this is all about qilian-ing....
But the aim is not my face but my hair...
Lets start wayyy back.
About May 2 years ago, I wanted to go crazy with my hair color. But after bleaching it, I was kinda grooving being 'kinda' a blondy. I do miss those days... So anybody who tried to lighten their hair by more than 2-3 shades, you would understand the issue of ROOTS!hHAhahaa so I got fed up with touching up my roots so I decided to buy hair dye with a shade between my blonde and black locks resulting in the ombre effect(On a side note I have been dying and bleaching my hair by my lonesome, other than the original one which my sister helped and the pink one which my mom got her saloon friends to dye - but I bought the dye)....

I let that grow for a about a year and the half. And thus we're at the first photo. That's Christmas 2014
By about that time I was totally in loved with ombre hair! They are so low maintainance, hahaha and I'm a low maintaince kinda girl



But I was getting bored with my hair color and since I was graduating later in 2015, I decided I should dye my hair some funky colour before graduating. That resulted in the 2nd photo! Me rocking out pinkish-purplish hair... which now that I stare at it, I'm missing. Hahah I bought kinda wrong colors but they look okay and cool[:

The next pic shows my hair as the color begin to fade....So sad right?Hahaha so it faded to a more orangey kinda tone as you can see, basically not some bright color...
Then 1 fine friday night coming home from prayer meet, I decided it was time for a change. By this point i already had ( blue, maroon, violet dyes and bleach prep at home. [: )

SO I bleached my hair again -.-


But to make the ombre effect stay, I spammed a lot more bleach on the ends. And i obviouly started around the area that my hair was already coloured...
Resulting in this photo.. At the end of the process I was loving the almost plat tips i had, so i kept this supposed inbetween hair for 2 weeks.....
At which point i decided let's go ahead with the plan ! Originally i wanted to do a blue to purple fade, but i got lazy. so i took the blue dye and just dyed my hair....

Resulting in the mermaid-ie green blue effect...
Hahaha it's mainly becaused of my more yellow hair (you can see the previous shot) that resulted in this green-ish effect.
Soo overall that is the journey my hair have taken over the past 4 months or so...

And now into what really got me into this post.
So when i first wanted to dye my hair, I bought some La Riche Direction color protecting shampoo. Which I'm totally amazed by. Why?
On my first wash after dying i used this shampoo and everything was normal, the foam was white. The next time i washed my hair, i was a bit lazy and i used my normal shampoo. Guesses what the foam was blue! So the color protecting shampoo do work.
I think this is especially important to note when you're dying your hair with dye that are blue based, because our hairs' natural pigments are yellow...
thats why people always say blue and purple dye last the shortest amount of time....
So yeah just wanted to talk about the color protecting shampoo. and it was kinda nice to see the progression of my hair in a list like this[:
