First of
all, I know, I know what you’re all thinking; you’re a bit late with the whole
ombré fashion. I realize I’m about two years late but I don’t care. I’m not the
most adventurous person when it comes to my hair so it’s taken me a while to go
for it.
Going to
the hair dressers wasn’t even an option as I’m trying to save as much money as
I can our trip to America so I looked at about a hundred reviews online from
different products and in the end I decided to go for the L’Oreal Paris Wild
Ombrés Kit as it was only 6.99 at Boots. I
got the 060 shade which is for medium to dark brown hair. (I apologize for the
bad quality photos, I’ve taken them with my phone!).
Right, so I
read a lot of reviews and most of them were good. There were some people with
thick dark brown hair saying it was perfect and a good buy and all that so I
thought it’d be great for me as my hair’s really thin and normally it catches
the colour quite well.
I started
by reading the instructions carefully and watching YouTube video tutorials. I
followed the instructions 100% but I must say I did not get the desired look.
While dying my hair I notice the really strong smell, it made my eyes cry!
After
washing and blow-drying my hair I could barely see any difference except a
couple of bits of my hair which looked quite orange and in a straight line
because of the brush that you’re given with the kit. It looked patchy and just
wrong.
I decided
not to panic and seeing that I still had plenty left in the bottle I decided to
re-apply it, this time with my hands instead of the brush to get a more uneven
look. I left it for another 45 minutes and washed it again.
This time
it turned out a little bit better. Still not the colour that says that you’ll
get in the box photos but so much better than the first time. I don’t recommend
dying your hair twice on the same day but I’m just ridiculously impatient and I
couldn’t wait a few days to finish it.
I ended up
having quite a mixture of colours from red to orange to ashy blonde. To be
honest, I don’t completely dislike it but it’s definitely not what it says in
the box. Would I recommend it? From now personal opinion, no, I wouldn’t. But
like I said, I read loads of reviews of people whom for them it has worked
perfectly so if you really want it, give it a try!
Have you ever tried this Ombré Kit? Did it work for you? What do you think of the final result?
Adiós amigas!
