I recently dyed my hair ombre peach, using Bleach London products. I hadn't heard anything about the product and happened to stumble across it whilst looking for other products in Boots. A lot of people on tumblr have been asking me how I managed to do my hair, so I thought i'd start off by giving you a step by step guide and some advice when dying your hair yourself. This was my first time dying my hair myself, and semi permanents are great, because if you don't like it, it will wash out.
Which takes me to Bleach London. I would recommend you use these products. They are cheap, have a variety of amazing colours and last for a long time. Unlike a lot of semi-permanents, Bleach London eventually washes out completely. I used the Awkward Peach colour on my hair and although it was fun, it washed out a gingery colour. I used touch of silver hair shampoo to fade the colour and my hair was perfect after this.
Be careful which semi-permanents you use! Bleach London and Fudge Box are great if you want a log lasting colour, but can easily be washed out/ colour ca be changed at last minute. Bleach London also have a great washing out liquid. Although it isn't magic ad touch of silver completely took the colour out, the Bleach London washing out liquid is great for fading a colour. Bleach London have a lot of dark blues and purple colours, and the Washing Out liquid makes these fade to beautiful pastel colours eventually.
This is the colour I achieved when using Awkward Peach.
Step by step
First off, I would recommend researching hair salons in your area for colour specialists to dye your hair either ombre blonde or white. I would not recommend doing this yourself. The colour technician should back comb the blonde or white dye into your hair, which will create the ombre effect. If the colour technician does not do this, it may create a harsh line, creating a colour block instead of ombre, so make sure to search for a good salon! I only paid £25 for mine and although cheap store bought dyes may seem tempting, in the long run it's worth it.
Next is finding the semi permanent for you! Bleach London has a variety of colours, as does Fudge Box. Choose the colour of your choice and separate your hair so both sides lay equally on your shoulders, like it sits in the picture above!
You may want a towel or an old shirt for the next bit! Put small blobs of the hair dye in your hand, rub your hands together and lather through small sections of your hair. Your hair MUST be dry and you must have shampooed and conditioned it before for the best results. Bleach London is great, because it doesn't come out patchy at all.
Repeat this process until your hair is equally covered over your blonde or white ombre. It doesn't matter if you get some in your brown hair, it won't show up, which is why it blends so nicely into your ombre!
Leave on for 15 minutes. If you have a dark purple, blue, pink or any colour and you would prefer a pastel colour, you can either keep the hair dye on for only 3-6 minutes or keep the dye on for 15 minutes and use either a washing out liquid or head and shoulders shampoo to fade the colours to a pastel colour.
Wash off with luke warm water.
Your results should look as good as me did!
If you would like your hair colour to stay for as long as possible, Bleach London have a colour preserving shampoo and conditioner!
