DIY | Ombré Your Hair -Helpful Tips

Hi! So yesterday, i made a change to my hair, which hasn't happened for quite a while now... i used to colour my hair like every day... it got a bit out of hand. But i haven't really changed it for a couple of years now, so i thought it was time to have a bit of a change, so i ombre'd my hair!

SOURCE

I didn't know how to go about it... so i read up on dyes and things and techniques on how to do it, until i felt i was prepared enough to go out and buy the bleach. Stupidly i didn't take a picture of the box myself. But it's up there ^^^

BEFORE

AFTER

It is Jerome Russel's BBlonde Maximum Lift bleach. I've used this brand before, and it has worked the best and took to my hair the best in the past. So i decided to go for it. I got my sister to help me, because you can't see the back of your hair and don't want a weird uneven bit at the back... so to be on the safe side she helped me... and she did a great job! I absolutely love my ombré hair... I'm going to keep this for a long time. When my hair gets longer I'll just go a bit further up.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR OMBRE'ING HAIR

• Backcomb different sections so they are at different lengths when you ombre your hair 
• Definitely use a dying brush... so it doesn't turn out patchy
• use BLEACH
• Make sure you get a gradient, don't dye the top of the section you want to dye until 10-15 ish minutes have passed... so it is definitely darker than the rest.
• Start dying the bottom and work your way up further
• Get someone to help you (It still counts as DIY!!!!)

Back of my head, can see the gradient here

Ombre'ing my hair was an amazinggggg decision. I absolutely love the change I've made and i just think it makes me look more interesting. So if you're debating whether to do it or not. Just do it!

I have done a YouTube video on this! Check it out HERE or watch it below! 

The bleach i used was £5.99 from Superdrug. You can purchase it HERE (although check if they have it for cheaper if you have and Home Bargain near you... they do cheap hair dye)

I hope you had/are having/are about to have a wonderful day!

Lots of love,
