Effortless Hair Coloring

Aku sering banget ditanyain sama teman-teman dan kerabat dekat, biasanya kalau mewarnai rambut di mana? Mungkin karena aku kelihatan sering banget mewarnai rambut dan sudah hampir beberapa tahun ini nggak pernah berambut hitam lagi ya hehehe. Sejak pertama kali mewarnai rambut, aku memang jadi keranjingan banget mencoba berbagai jenis warna rambut, terutama warna-warna fashion yang terang.

Garnier Hair Color Natural Review

I always love to dye my hair lighter and lighter. Why? Simply because it is easier for me to change my hair color according to my mood. Various hair color are easier to apply on lighter hair color. On the other side, you need regular touch up for your roots and so on which sometimes could be really annoying. That's why I was thinking to tone down my hair color a little bit darker for now. Think about give some rest to my hair which previously bleached and colored.

Lucky me that earlier last month, Garnier sent me a whole set of Garnier Color Natural. So what's inside the box? Let's take a look.

There are five boxes of Garnier Color Natural, each are in different color which are all available in Indonesia. 

1.0 Black

2. Dark Brown

3.14 Burgundy

3. Brown

5 Light Brown.

Garnier Color Natural are formulated to achieve natural hair color and help to cover gray hair perfectly. A good selection for those who are new into hair coloring and wanna achieve a natural hair color or for elders who wanna get rid of gray hair. 

Coming to my surprise, apparently my mom always use Garnier Color Natural 3.16 Burgundy. She said the color is really nice and cover her gray hair perfectly. She never experienced with dry or damaged hair so far so I think there is no doubt that Garnier Color Natural is safe and less damaging for your hair. Garnier Color Natural is also enriched with Olive Oil which helps to protect and moisture your hair.

Not used to dye your hair or is it your first time using hair color cream? No worries. Here's an easy step-by-step.

1. Put on the plastic gloves on. You will also need unused towel or big plastic sheets as a cape so the hair dye will not stain your clothes, especially if your hair is long. 

2. Here's the basic thing about hair coloring mixture. You'll always find the hair color cream and developer together in the box. All you need is mix them together in a non-metallic bowl. 

4. This is optional but sometimes hair color cream are all over your skin while coloring. People usually use vaseline or any kind of thick cream. It is just way too greasy for me so I prefer to use lipbalm instead. Pour over your lipbalm around this area, such as along the hairline. 

5. Have fun and some patience in coloring your hair. If your hair is thick, you need to do your hair in batch. Make sure to use the special comb for hair coloring and spread the hair color cream evenly.

6. When you're done, wait for 30 minutes and rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo. 

Nowadays it is very easy to dye your hair at home, although long hair like mine may need assistance to apply the hair coloring cream evenly. Please also note that long hair might need two boxes as I only use one box and it is not enough to cover the entire hair. 

I choose Light Brown to tone down my hair color as the upper part is pitch black now and doesn't blend really well with the lower part. Let's take a look the before -after.

It does lighten up the upper part nicely and create a nice color gradation from upper to lower part. I thought the color will hardly show up as my virgin hair color is totally pitch black. As for the lower part, I run out of the hair dye so it doesn't cover most of the lower part. No need to question why it has no significant color changes. I was thinking to use two boxes in different color but I think it will be hard for you to notice the changes so I stick to one box only.

I can also feel that my hair is smooth and not dry at all after coloring process. No itchy feelings whatsoever and now I understand why my mom sticks to Garnier Color Natural. 

Talking about price, it is very affordable. I had visited several drugstores and hypermarket to compare the prices. The price will vary depends on the store but most of them are below Rp 50.000,00 which is a pretty good deal for me.

Red Hair Makeover with Makarizo Concept Ultimax

Hello everyone! It's been a while and by the way if you follow my Instagram, you had probably known that I had my hair dyed in red again. :9 curious or not?

When Makarizo Team asked me to do a hair makeover, I suddenly had this crazy idea in my mind. Therefore, I browse through many hair colors and I ended up with this hair style.

Review Fresh Light in Lemon Blond

Hello everyone. I was in the mood of changing my hair color lately. I bought this hair dye months ago when it was on special promotion so I got it for a cheaper price. But I have to wait until I finish my thesis and graduation preparation is done before I dye my hair. Just in case if the coloring process is fail and make my hair color very 'unusual'.

I picked up Fresh Light Hair Bubble in Lemon Blond. I chose the lightest color because I lighten my hair color without bleaching. These are the available color in Indonesia. Actually, there are plenty of beautiful color that aren't available here.

The white box is the foam/bubble type and the yellow box is the cream type. So make sure you don't pick the wrong product. The price vary around Rp 110.000,00, and when it was on sale, it's only around Rp 60.000,00 - Rp 80.000,00. You can easily find them at stores like Guardian and Watsons. Most of promotion that I saw was at Watsons. So you can check it out there.

Reason why I chose bubble hair dye is because I know I was super careless and I will not make it even if I use any cream hair dye. Moreover, I was too lazy to go to salon. 

One box contains these items

Here it comes the interesting part...

There is a hidden hole on the box. o.o Just kidding la, actually they designed the box that way so you can mix the liquid without any mess.

See? Perfectly in.

Then you can start pour the liquid in the black bottle (Hair Color 1) into the white bottle (Developer 2).

After that you can close the bottle with the provided pump.

 Gently shake the bottle in sidewards motion like this

and..Voila! You'd created this nice foam already

Don't forget to use the gloves to protect your hand, unused towels to protect your body from any spilled products, and if you're afraid it will staining your face you can put a little bit of baby oil or moisturizer on the hairline. I was too lazy to dig out any of those items and just use my lipbalm instead LOL. 

It's really easy. Everything foam related kinda make me happy LOL. You can easily spread it all over your hair just like when you're shampoo-ing your hair. You might want to divide you hair into several section if you have super thick hair. And one bottle is more than enough for me! Just make sure that you apply enough hair dye to make sure the color is evenly spread. 

It is said to let it set for 40 minutes, but I left it for 1.5 hours. Because I was kinda not sure and I don't see any difference in the first 40 minutes. After that you can start washing your hair and don't forget to apply the conditioner unless you want to make your hair looks like a broom. 

Now let's see how good it is on my hair...

This is my hair before. 

Super long and ugly roots. Like I haven't dyed it in years! I'm actually still love the reddish tone from the last coloring. Even after months, the color still looks good for me. 

And this is after 

I could tell that the red tone had become more yellowish. I cannot blame the hair dye though the color is not as intense as the previous color.I think it's normal because I achieve the previous color through professionals.But you can see my roots are enlighten a little bit in the right photo. So don't be afraid to pick the lightest color if your hair color is still dark. It would be good to color the whole hair but I don't think it's good enough to touch up your roots, especially if your hair color is quite light already. 

The only downside of this product is the super strong ammonia scent that could make me faint at the moment. Sometimes it's smells really strong and then it disappear. I was doing the whole process outside because I don't think I could handle it if I do it inside my room. 

WHAT I LOVE

- Quite affordable

- Easy to use

- Wide color range selection

WHAT I DON'T REALLY LOVE

-Strong ammonia scent

-Drying

I still have two boxes of Fresh Light (cream type) and I will dye my hair soon with them because I'm not really satisfied with this color. ;) Hopefully it will turn out better than this.

So have you tried this bubble hair dye?
