Hello Everyone!
I've got a confession to make...
As I'm not really a Winter-gal, I spend most of January/February dreaming of spring, (aka the season of pastels, rose gold, flowers and sunshine).
Whenever I get like this, I like to turn to Pinterest, make a new pin board and get pinning, so that's just what I did!
I came across several pictures of pastel-coloured hair and whilst I gazed longingly at images of delicate pastel curls, it suddenly dawned on me:
I am a hairdresser...
I have blonde hair...
I could make my hair pastel coloured if I wanted...
For the Readers that are Hairdressers
To achieve this colour, I used Wella Koleston Perfect- 10/0 and Wella Mix Tone- 0/65
I mixed 60ml 10/0 and 5cm 0/65 with 60ml 6% peroxide.
I applied the mixture onto my hair which was a base 10 previously (lightened with bleach).
My natural hair is a base 6.
My natural hair is a base 6.
I left the mixture on for 35 minutes (no heat) and voila! This was the result...
For the Readers who are not Hairdressers
To colour/dye hair to a pastel pink (or any colour of pastel), the hair needs to be light to begin with. This could mean naturally blonde or bleached blonde. As a rule of thumb, the lighter the blonde, the more vibrant the pastel.
I would not recommend that you use a box dye but I understand that many people are on a budget and can't afford a trip to the salon, if this is you, I have the perfect alternative.
Bleach London Rose Shampoo
This shampoo is great for maintaining pastel pink hair. It's also fab for gradually building up pink hair. If your hair is already light blonde, I'd highly recommend it. In my experience, the colour lasts for around 4-6 washes before fading but of course, this can vary from person to person.
Question: If you could do ANYTHING with your hair, what would it be?
