Dyed my hair black with John Freida Precision Foam Hair Dye

I dyed my hair again!  My roots were growing out so I decided to go back to my original colour..to an extent..I dyed it blue black and used John Freida's Precision Foam Colour.  I actually did it during my stay in Seattle in the hotel! I loved the hotel (Hotel 1000) I stayed at...the bathroom was awesome and so convenient to dye my hair as my own bathroom is super small!

Here are the pictures of the bathroom, the tub is free standing and the water comes from the ceiling!  There is a separate shower too.

such a beautiful tub
So back to the hair dye, it's almost exactly like the Prettia hair dye!  Same method and everything, the difference is that it has a strong hair dye smell.  It did come with fancy black gloves..lol...but everything else looked the same as Prettia.  I actually like this John Frieda one better than Prettia in the sense it feels like there is more product in it than the Prettia dyes.   I bought this hair dye at Walmart in the states and it is around $12.00USD.

I dont have an official picture of me modelling my new hair...only of me eating my clam chowder with the new hair colour.
TADA..blue black..super dark!
I do recommend this hair dye, it was very easy to work with and it was inexpensive.

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.

Japanese Hair Dyes- Prettia & Palty

Going to dye my hair over this weekend to a light brown...perhaps even considered a blonde look...I wonder how that will go?  I will be using the Prettia foam dye first and if it's not the colour I like..I will try the Palty..

I will review 3 hair dyes in the process.  Well..I will dye it black if the brown hair fails me.  I know this is going to damage my hair quite a bit but what the hell...I have always wanted to be blonde...not the blonde in high school grade 12 blonde..but more of a full head greenish blonde.

The Prettia and the Palty are supposedly "less damaging'' than the American brands.  I have tried both before and yes, I agree it smells and feels less damaging.  There isn't the disgusting toxic smell after you wash out your hair.  I personally remember that I enjoyed the Palty more because of the scent during the dyeing process...it smells pleasant...*I know I am not supposed to be inhaling the stuff*  I remember the Prettia smelling more strong and unpleasant compared to the Palty...

I did google the brands and found people have reviewed both products after trying them...their reviews seems the opposite of what I remember...I will try them this weekend and then re-blog the results.

The 3 hair dyes I have purchased:
1.Liese Prettia- high bleach -Foam based
2.Palty- milk tea brown - Normal hair dye
3.Loreal sublime Mousse -natural black - Foam based
