I'll post the extensive video below of my dye haul.
Anywho, I started with one of the boxes of de la Ritz ColorEazy dye in 3RV Medium Auburn from the Dollar Tree, just to experiment because I felt like being daring. ...but not too daring because I just used it for mainly the under layer.
During the process of dying it. I used snack-sized ziplock baggies to separate and hold the sections being dyed.
Mmm, so ~*sessy*~
One box contains 1.4 fl.oz. of the color cream and 1.4 fl. oz. of the developer. This was barely enough to cover the sections that I dyed, which was about a total of 1/4 of my hair. I forgot how long it said to leave on the dye but I think I left it on about 20 minutes longer than I was supposed to. *shrugs*
The result!
The color came out pretty good! It wasn't as vibrant red but what I dyed was darker hair. As for the texture, my hair didn't feel much different than it did before (I have thick, coarse hair). But it still wasn't quite the shade of red that I wanted so the next day I decided to go to Target (aaand see the 2nd video below). There I bought Revlon Colorsilk in 48 Burgundy. I was also hoping to find some sulfate-free shampoo but no luck so I bought some low-sulfate shampoo and conditioner. I used 2 boxes, with quite a little bit left over (which was great, even though I had an extra box just in case). Btw, there's 2 fl. oz. of color and 2 fl. oz. of developer in the Revlon Colorsilk, just fyi. The color turned out great! But it still wasn't what I wanted, which was expected. But this is what it looked like after 2 washings.
The blonde wants to break through and be freed!
Breaking Blonde.
I've since fixed and enhanced the color to more of what I really want but I don't have any pics for now. I'm going to try to get that together in my next post. :)
