The other day I decided that I wanted to change my hair colour (yet again.) I've been ombré before, but I had a my natural gingery, brown, red hair with blonde tips. This time I wanted to try it again but have brown hair. So I said good-bye to my very faded Lavender hair and headed off to Superdrug to find suitable hair colours. I'd say I spent a good half and hour ummm-ing and ahhh-ing over the different shades of Brown, and thinking if did I really want to change my blonde hair? In the end i gave up and headed to Sainsburys, which is wear i came across their L'ORÉAL Préférence deal of 2 for £11. After texting the boyfriend about which Brown i should go for I settled on no7 Rimini and of course got the Wild Ombré kit for Dark Blondes.
I decided on doing this in two stages, the first stage being dying my hair Brown. I chose this light brown as I still wanted the option of going back to Blonde if I didn't like how it turned out (or if i grew tired of it and craved my Lavender hair again). I was expecting my hair to be a tad darker, but I should have known to get a slightly dark shade as my hair had been dyed a very Light Blonde.

I waited a few days before I attempted using the Wild Ombré dye box. It was interesting using a brush (which was provided) to help spread the colourant through my hair. As you should, I followed the instructions and it all seemed very smooth. Although I did notice some of the bleach not leaving the brush and just staying in the rivets. I left it to develop for about 30mins, washed it out and checked out how it looked.

Overall I think the product does what it says it will and i'm relatively happy with the end product (but this is down mainly to me wanting my "roots" to be darker). I probably won't buy it again though, not because I didn't like it, more because I find it easier without using the brush. I didn't like how some of the bleach stayed in the brush, I felt like I was being cheated out of bleach haha. Also there is a small section on my right side where there's a slight "coon tail" (please note this image is no way affiliated to me) where I must not have brushed enough dye on. Aside from that though, this is a good kit if your a beginner, scared or unsure of how to do Ombré.
(PLEASE NOTE: If you do buy this product be aware there are different boxes for different shades of hair e.g. Light Blonde to Blonde, Blonde to Dark Blonde etc)
Buy from:
Superdrug: £5.99
Boots: £6.00
Sainsburys: £6.99 (or 2 for £11)
Until next time....
