Ombre Hair

I know, I know, this is like the oldest blog post in the book.

But just last weekend, I finally got around to ombré-ing (?) my hair, and though the result is not quite as light as I originally wanted, I am really happy with how it came out.

(I may dye over it again soon, but then again I don't want to end up bald..)

Anyway,

I used some sort of Garnier Nutrisse blonde dye (cannot remember which shade, but it was one of the lighter blondes!)

To achieve this colour, I had to dye over the hair four times, as my hair is naturally quite a dark brown.)

So, here goes;

I know that these pictures really aren't that great, but I'm sure you'll all get to see it properly next time I do an outfit post (which will be this weekend).

It really was the easiest thing to do; I have absolutely no experience with hair dye.

Literally all I did was mix up the dye and apply it to the ends of my hair. I used the gloves to blend the dye up a little bit further in an attempt to achieve the fading effect.

Hope you like it!

Here were some of the pictures I used for inspiration;

(I realise mine has a long way to go to become this extreme.)

Also, I absolutely loved Ailbhe of soooali.com's video on ombré hair which you can all find here.

BLEACH Hair Salon.

As you all know, I'd been looking to dip-dye my hair for some time before I finally did it last month.

(It's not as dark as I would like, but that's another story..)

Before I did my hair, I scoured the internet for pictures to pinpoint exactly what I wanted.

Because they were mentioned in so many magazines, and had loyal celebrity clients such as Pixie Geldof, Sienna Miller and Alice Dellal, my first stop was Bleach London's Tumblr site.

Ever since, I've been visiting the site non-stop looking at pictures of their work, and their quirky inspiration pictures.

It is amazing, and well worth checking out here.

Originally located in Dalston, Bleach now has another salon in Topshop, Oxford St. With colours like "Cheeky Vimto", "Berocca Rinse" and "De Ja Blue" on offer, Bleach (which was named after the Nirvana album), certainly boasts originality above all else.
With colour from just £50, out-of-this-world results and a trip to London already booked for next month, I could definitely be tempted..
