My hair- BLEACHED x 2 and re-dyed x2

As I blogged before..I dyed my hair and it messed up..

After a lot of consideration and reading online what to do I decided to bleach my hair and redye it altogether.  I bought the Loreal Perfect Blondissima as I have read good reviews on it from makeupalley
http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=105277/Blondissima/LOreal/Hair_Color

After bleaching I would need to dye a colour over top to cover the orange/brassy colour.  I chose Palty the foam one.

I dyed my hair again last Thursday, February 23, 2012 with the assistant of my friend(s).
Loreal Perfect Blondissima and Palty Caramel Beige

Swatches of Loreal Blondissima
Palty Foam Caramel Beige

We bleached it twice...because certain sections were darker, she had to be strategic in doing it.  It took from 7:00pm to 11:00pm...and I turned out.....weird...LOL...

Here are some pictures of our night!

Me staining my friends shirt she lent me
After first bleach session..everything looked evened out!
Second bleach session- we did my whole head..look! T&T bag!
She un-bagged my head because the bleach was working faster on my roots
The Palty dye taken out of box- apparently its a almost like whip cream with the spatula and cup

The tube of dye is in the cup..looks like noodles
My other friend is whipping up the Palty foam

The Palty Foam is ready!
My 2 friends are helping me distribute the Palty in my hair
The dye is in my hair...looks alright for now
Sorry for my expression- Superstore bags now!
This is what happened after I dried my hair after Palty! GAH!!!
My hair before I redyed it brown- I went to work like this.. :/
I couldn't survive with this hair...it reminded me of a fire Pokemon...LOL..I went to work with a hood on and immediately after work I went home and redyed it with brown.  I used Palty(normal version, not foam) natural brown and everything is alright.  Even though it is not an even dye job, it is still much better than walking around looking like a fire Pokemon!

Pictures!
I'm a nerd!!  Brown hair YAY..no more Pokemon hair!
Learning to smile...I guess its a fail..haha

My Hair..Aghh MY HAIR!!


I dyed my hair today.  First with Liese Prettia-High bleach and then after with Palty-Milk Tea Brown.

So it turns out I screwed up my hair..LOL..it turned out like a gradient effect in which I have brown hair at my roots and then dark brown/black on my ends. At least it looks like I could have done this look on purpose...it's gradual fading into a darker colour.

 I will wait one week and decide if I want to bleach my hair completely and then re-dye it some sort of blonde.  I want to be blonde!

I looked at my hair again and I feel it's lighter...WTF..is it just me?  When I tie up my hair it looks normal..LOL that is because you cant see the brown/black...I tried to pull my hair into a bun..the asian bun where the bun is on top of the head and it looks so weird!  My bun is brown/black and the other part is light brown..  -___-  It looks so fake!

I know what happened though....this happened because I had previously dyed my hair black several months back and the new dye is not penetrating through the black dye.  I must bleach....OH and Prettia-High bleach is not a real bleach...LOL it is just called "high-bleach"

Review: Liese Prettia-High Bleach
Definitely works on natural Asian black hair. The outcome is not super far off from the box and the smell isn't bad at all.  I take back what I previously said about it being smelly in comparison to Palty.  Palty definitely smells worse.  My hair still feels soft after dyeing with this brand.  I choose this brand over Palty.  I didnt like the foam aspect of this product, I wasn't use to slathering foam into my hair...there was no comb or thingy to put it in my hair.  I also didnt know how much to slather on because the texture is very unfamiliar to me in regards to it being a hair dye.  Was I suppose to rub it in like shampoo?
Rating: 4.5/5 (Good buy)
Pros: smells pleasant, not very damaging, colour payoff is similar to box
Cons: pricey for DIY hair dye ($16CAD +), the foam is weird, limited colour options

Review: Palty- Milk Tea Brown
I think the colour payoff is again very similar to the box.  The smell is a little stronger than the Prettia brand.  There are LOTS of colours to choose from and it is cheaper than Prettia BUT still costs more than American hair dyes.  I like the fact that this is creme and that it is familiar...it looks white when you coat your head thus I knew where and how much I was putting on my head.  The comb attachment was helpful too as I used that to comb it through my hair.
Rating: 4.5/5 (Good buy)
Pros: smells okay(better than American brands), not very damaging, colour payoff similar to box, inexpensive for the colour payoff, the comb attachment
Cons:  the smell is not as good as Prettia

Picture time!

These after pictures are not justifying the colour on my head...it's actually lighter..I will take some other pictures in the next few days..perhaps in sunlight...when the sun comes out.
