Dip Dye Short Hair

It was 6 weeks of crazy attention-seeking blue hair. Though the royal blue (hair color) had faded to a much lighter hue, people still have nothing but compliments for my unique hair color. 


As much as I love the blues, it was time to say goodbye...

BYE-BYEEE~


And so, here's how my faded blue hair looks... with the black roots showing. It seemed that my hair is not growing out fast yea? Hmm...

Anyway, I showed Chisato the hair color I wanted (not the hairstyle).

I am now trying my best to grow out my fringe and hair. That's why I have not had my hair cut for close to 4 months already.


To achieve my desired ash brown color, I had to go through one-time bleaching to get rid of the blue dye.


After the bleaching, the blue part became light pastel green and the purple streaks became neon pink! What a funky combination! I was really fascinated when I saw this interim hair color mix. Nice right? heehee~ :P

Chisato and Alice analyzing my hair...

They did the dip dye part (indigo) first...


... then the base (ash brown). Ooo... looks like squid ink pasta? :X


After 3 hours, here's my dip dye hair color (dark ash brown + indigo)! I was really happy with the results... see my satisfied face :P

Well, my base hair color was quite dark, but not black. Any lighter, the color would turn out weird due to my previous blue hair. I was told that after few times of shampooing, my hair color will gradually fade to a lighter shade of ash brown. It has been almost 2 weeks since I did my hair color. Now, my hair looks something like Alice's! Nice right?! 

I will like to take this opportunity to thank these two lovely ladies (Chisato & Alice) for creating the dip dye effect I want! Thank you so much ♥


Here's a closer look at my dip dye hair color. 


If you wanna have fun colors in a subtler way, you can do something like mine (:


Lovin' this hair color sooo much! You know where to head to if you want an awesome hair makeover *wink-wink*


I shall end off this post with this photo with the ABTM (Ah Boys to Men) cast - Tosh Zhang (!!), Maxi Lim and Noah Yap. It was the day after I did my hair color. Super like this photo ♥

Back to Loud Colors - Blue (& Purple)

I am offically back to loud colors, blue (& purple). If you've been following me on IG or twitter, you would have seen my current hair color. Having primarily blue hair was never on my agenda. Well, this has gotta be the craziest decision ever. 

My previous orange-red hair had faded to a copperish brown. For my hair to look blue, bleaching is required. A light blonde to be exact. Let's say... if my hair were to be a yellowish blonde, it will result in green or teal instead of blue. 

And so, my hair was bleached twice. I quite like the blonde look actually... but I don't think I would go blonde? heh.

Here's my newly appointed hairstylist, Chisato, from Tokyo Japan! She has 8 years of hairdressing experience from Shibuya, Tokyo's most colorful and stylish district. 

She's very-very friendly! If you love trendy and beautiful hairstyles, do look for Chisato!


I thought my hair would look like hay after going through all the bleaching and coloring. Not at all! My hair was so soft and smooth!


I love the varying tones in my hair!


Some haircare tips that I learnt...

• It is advisable to apply a leave-in conditioner daily on completely blow-dried hair. Do not apply it on slightly damp hair as it will create a sticky mess.
• Try not to shampoo your hair daily. Every 2 to 3 days perhaps. Use cold water to prevent fading. The hair color will last longer.

A week later, I went back to the salon to touch up my roots and darken the hair color. 

BEFORE...

AFTER...

I love this royal blue color on me, as it makes my skin look fairer and brighter ♥ 


My blue hair has been grabbing attention everywhere I go. Not to mention, getting lots of compliments :P


It is quite fun to have blue hair. I'm lovin' how my hair stands out in photos ♥

Thank you, Chisato for my awesome blue-blue hair!
