I bought this from Ebay
HERE. It was $13.59. I went back and forth between this color and the Ash Champagne one for a while and finally settled on Natural Brown.
You mix the small bottle with the squeeze tube, put the cap on and shake! Included is a small packet of deep conditioning stuff that you use after rinsing the dye out of your hair.
I applied to my bottom half starting at the roots first. I have to wear contacts so that my glasses do not get in the way. I also recommend removing your earrings, which I forgot to do this time.
Scary during shot! Also right after this photo I have a plastic shower cap that I use just for hair dyes and I cover all my hair with it. The heat from your head helps develop the color. Other things you can use is saran wrap, and a plastic shopping bag.
Before. I have 2 day old hair here so please excuse the greasy roots.
Before in the back. I had not colored my hair in 8 months, so I had an ombre effect going on. My ends were much lighter than my roots.
Roots before.
Roots after.
Before. I didn't realize all my before shots cut the top of my head off, oops!
After. I was very happy with the results except for 1 thing. This does not cover gray hairs! I have some grays in my bangs that stood out easily, but I suppose they are less noticeable with lighter hair. But still. I wanted them gone. Oh well, live and learn. I would repurchase this if it covered grays. I don't think my hair turned out like the box but it is a very nice neutral brown without brassiness.
This is my first time using a Japanese brand hair dye and it worked really well. There was no brassy tones and I got my color with less process time. Before I always tried western brands like Loreal and Revlon box drugstore ones, Clairol and Ion from Sally Beauty Supply. Every single one of these left me with brassy hair, and I just accepted the fact that I had to buy a color additive to get rid of the orange/red tones.
I only needed 30 mins process time, as opposed to 45-60 mins. This did not damage my hair and leave it feeling like straw. I have very thick hair so this was a huge plus for me.
Overall I really liked this dye. The best I have used so far. I will have to try the other Japanese brands next time! I would highly recommend if you have thick dark hair like me.
Purchased with my own money.
