Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Color Cream in Milky Blonde (Hair Experiment Part 3)

Hello guys! Happy weekend!!

How are you guys?

Sorry for only blogging part 3 now and I apologize for taking so long to update!

It has been a very busy and lazy week followed by LSG Girls' and I's birthdays.

It's tough when you and your friends, especially best friends, celebrate birthdays the next day after another for two weeks!

Plus I had to watermark my photos this time because it's a bit HD-er for the first time.

I didn't want it to be posted on other sites without my credits but I'm also too lazy to put them lol

So, anyway..

After bleaching my hair ombre on my Hair Experiment Part 2, my hair got brassy and orange,

I noticed the individual tips were flying away a bit and I guess that's my fault lol.

So I decided to wait and let it rest a week or two before dyeing my hair again to help it become a bit healthier.

I continued Hair Experiment Part 3 afterwards with the Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Color Cream in Milky Blonde from my Tony Moly Haul.





For the third and last part (for now) my Hair Experiment, I dyed my hair with this Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Color Cream in Milky Blonde shade.

I bought it for 328php, I think. I got it from SM Megamall Branch of Tony Moly Philippines.


It says it contains 1L of colorant in Milky Blonde Shade.


On the back of the box there's Korean instructions of the product.

The product contains berry extracts from reaspberry and mulberry to help protect the hair from further damage from the colorant.



Aw, it got blurred I didn't notice, sorry. T^T

This side of the box contains the instructions in English and the ingredients of the stuff that's in it in English.



This side shows the effects of the dye before and after when applied on hair.

I guess mine's on the "blonde shade" //yessssss dream of getting a patch of blonde on my hair came true lol lol

It seemed to me that it will tame/tone down bright hair.

And the Korean version of the opposite side of the box.



These are the contents of the box when you open it.


MY box contained the instructions manual which is in Korean, the Cream Colorant and the Cream Developer and a plastic with the plastic gloves & cape inside.

Something's wrong, I thought.

MY box didn't contain the Hair Treatment supposed to be inside with the others.

I don't know if I lost it, which I doubt.

It was such a waste but I guess it's ok because luckily I have my own collection of hair treatments.

So check the contents of the box before purchasing, it's not sealed anyway~



Front part of the instructions / warnings manual. Yes, it's only available in Korean.



The back of the paper is a continuation of the contents on the front.

Still, using box colorants are easy enough right?

And I supposed you already know how to color hair on your own if you pick a shade like this.



The 1st one, the cream colorant, and the 2nd one, the creme developer, comes in packages like this.


The cream colorant is sealed in with a thin foil and you're supposed to open it with the pointed thingy on the cap.

The cream developer has a cap on it's tip so it won't spill when you shake and mix the products together.


What you'll need..

1. You Hair Coloring Kit i.e. Your Tony Moly Hair Color Cream

2. Petroleum Jelly, to prevent accidental dye stain on skin.

3. An old shirt, or a longer cape if your hair is long.

4. Wide toothed comb to even out the color,

5. Plastic Wrap / Shower Cap (optional)

Steps..

1. Part your hair into four sections to make application easier and faster.

2. Put Petroleum Jelly on part like the back and front of you ear, your nape and parts of the skin that might get in contact with the dye.

3. Take the gloves and cape inside the box and wear them.

4. Take your hair colorant (1제) and pour it inside the creme developer (2제) bottle.

5. Shake the mixture well to mix the dye evenly.

6. Apply the dye from roots to tips evenly and comb it out.

7. You can put on your shower cap or wrap your hair in plastic wrap so the dye sets in better.

8. Leave on for 20-30 minutes. Or if you have hella thick hair like I do, you can extend up to 40-45 minutes.

9. Wash with lukewarm water and then shampoo and conditioner.

10. Towel dry your hair. (lol)

TIP: If the product starts to be unbearably itch/sting, wash off immediately.

And also, before I used it on my whole head, I tested it out first on a strand of my ombre hair..

Guess what happened? It got dark. So I myself don't advice this dye if you want like light ashy blonde hair.


So, what I originally planned was turn the brassiness down a bit without a toner because that thing is so hard to find here.

And  at first when i noticed the strand went dark, I just put it on the middle part of my hair which i wanted lighter.

But after 30 minutes of setting it on my hair, leaving out the ombre..

I went like, meh whatever, then dyed it.

YES it went a bit dark and my heart died a little lol

It turns out the brassiness was the one that made my hair look really light.

And this dye really took care of most of that.

At first I really hated it but I have learned to accept it and love it from all the compliments I'm getting lol

Everyone says I look fairer and I think it's probably because of my hair color.

Or maybe it's the fact that I only go out once a month and when I do, it's on the evening.



Whew, I really dislike editing pictures before posting them, but really shoganainaaaaa~

Tomorrow I'll blog about my birthdayyyyyy which was on March 6th and thank you for all of your greetings/gifts and messages  I'm really touched. ♥

ALSO, BY THE END OF THE MONTH, FIRST WEEK OF APRIL, EXPECT ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF POSTSSSSSSS~ YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH~ ♥

And, I have no kissy kissy pictures for now so, here's my drawing of MikuMiku (Hatsune Miku) via my galaxy note 3's S Note. ♥


Sekai deeee~ ichiban o hi me sa maaaaaaaaaaaaa~~ ♫

Lol, so that's it for now, I'll try to update as much more as I can.

It's been a long post, thank you for reading even up to here, I really appreciate it~ ^^

Hope you have a nice day/weekend !!

Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Bleach (Hair Experiment Part 2 - Bleaching / Ombre Hair Tutorial)

Hello! So, I continued my hair experiment. I used the Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Bleach from my Tony Moly Haul to bleach my hair.

My hair was in "50 shades of autumn" which basically looked like.. roots= light brown, middle part = red, tips= dark brown.

I tried stripping the red with vitamin c in my Hair Experiment Part 1.

But it only made the red slightly brighter and the dark brown.. well, it felt like it stripped every dye on it and made it in my natural black hair color.

I decided to bleach it so it goes as light as my roots but I ran out of bleach and didn't reach the red middle part.

I didn't plan on going ombre but I thought, meh, it's just the roots, I could cut it off if they pester me.

So here's what I did and what it looked like..




For the second part of my hair experiment, I bleached my tips with the Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Bleach from my Tony Moly Haul. I bought it for about 148php on SM Megamall branch of Tony Moly/


It's contains Berry Complex to minimize damage to hair and is easy to use!

Inside the box contains a 10g sachet of blue toned powder bleach, a 30ml sachet of lotion and another small sachet of Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Treatment.

It also has a leaflet for instructions in korean, but to those who doesn't understand korean, inside the box there is also an english instruction, just rip it open.

This bleach is ideal for bleaching small portions of your hair, like for Highlights and Ombre which I did.

From black asian hair, here is the transition of colors depending on how long you leave it in your hair.




What you'll need..

1. A cape, because this stains clothes.

2. Gloves, bleach can sting / burn your skin.

3. Plastic bowl and plastic cup, no metal because the mixture is going to heat/warm up.

4. Petroleum Jelly, to protect your skin from accidental dye stain.

5. Wide toothed hair comb, to even out the color.


Steps..

1. Part your hair into section you're going to bleach.

2. Put Petroleum Jelly on part like the back and front of you ear, your nape and parts of the skin that might get in contact with the dye.

3. Wear your gloves and cape.

4. Take the powder bleach and the lotion and place it in a plastic bowl.

5. Stir with the plastic spoon and mix well. If you feel the mixture getting warm, it means it's ready to use.

6. Apply to the parts of hair you'd like to dye from tips going up and brush with a comb.

If you're going for ombre, using your hands with gloves on is better to prevent leaving a harsh straight line.

7. Cover parts with plastic or tin foil for best results.

8. Check after 30 minutes, take a very small portion of hair and take the dye off and see if it can still take it or light enough for your liking.

9. If it's still a bit dark you can leave it in fro 10-15 minutes more.

10. Rinse with tap water, then shampoo and condition.

Tip: DO NOT LEAVE THE BLEACH IN FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR AS IT MAY CAUSE YOUR HAIR TO START GETTING FRIZZY / FALLING OFF.

I left mine for an hour and 15 minutes  bc my hair was so thick but I wish I hadn't.

It dried out a bit and considering I had multiple times dyed hair and it wasn't really healthy, it needed tender loving conditioner and oils to manage easily.




 My 50 Shades of Autumn Hair <3
using my catchu wink tony tint in orange cha cha~ ♥
Here's how it turned out on me ^^ See the light brown roots, red middle part and dark brown and finally, the ombre.

It looks brassy and orange-y but I quite like it. I'm still gonna use the Tony Moly Milky Blonde on it so wait for Hair Experiment Part 3! ♥

I hope it turns put well for you guys and thank you for reading up to here. It really means ALOT! ^o^

Tony Moly Haul and Hair experiment (Part 1 Stripping Hair Dye Tutorial)

Hi guys!

Yesterday upon impulse, I bought Tony Moly products for the SJ Calendar.

You need 1,000php worth of Tony Moly products to get the calendar plus a membership card.



I bought Catchu Wink Tony Tint in Orange bc it's the only one left in stock and I badly wanted one.

Cats Wink Foundation in light shade bc it's really smooth on my skin lol.

Berry Trendy Hair Bleach bc I wanted to make my hair lighter. Maybe go ombre? Dunno yet. 

Berry Trendy Hair Color Cream in Milky Blonde bc I figured I wanted to dye it after I bleach it.




I don't really want to bleach my whole head neither do I have the money and time and courage to do so.

Bleaching your tips is easy bc you can trim them if they go wrong but bleaching your whole head? Another story of scary shit.

I am still waiting for it to grow so I can get my long red wine hair.

I am starting the process to go lighter bc I want to experience blonde hair before I go red. 

They say you can't go blonde anymore if you have red hair.

As you know I dyed my red dyed hair with my stylist in Silver Color.

But that turned out ash brown of course. Specially on my roots *.*

The red dye just got... re-vamped. Srsly they went redder.

So i ended up with ash brown roots, red middle portion and chestnut brown tips. WTF.

So today I'm stripping the red hair out of my 50 shades of Autumn hair lol.

I've done this before because I dyed my hair black from light ash brown in 2012.

I wanted to go red so I stripped the black out.

This time, hope it doesn't take off my browns too much. 

I think it will turn brown or back to my black (normal hair color).

Both is fine, I just want the bleach and dye to work.




DIY Hair Dye Stripper>>

What you need..

1. 10 or more Vitamin C Tablets depending on how thick/long your hair is

2. Shampoo

3. Mortar and Pestle or a Zip Lock and a spoon.

4. Plastic bowl 

4. Gloves

5. Blow dryer (optional)

6. Conditioner


First..

Get your Vitamin C tablets and crush them with a mortar and pestle or inside a ziplock with a spoon until it becomes powder-y.



photo credits to owner

Transfer powdered vitamin C in a plastic bowl and add the shampoo and mix until it looks like the picture above.





Lather mixture onto hair evenly while using gloves (your nails might turn yellow and vitamin c is a type of acid so it might burn your skin, it itches on spots they stain :<)




Blow dry your hair to speed up the process. Or if you want you can go sun bathing for about 30 minutes outside, it's supposed to have the same effects. 

I kinda wanted to just go under the sun.

I hate blow drying or putting my hair under any heating device.

But it was too damn cloudy today that I got no choice to just blow dried it.

Now, just leave it on for an hour or so and wash off with conditioner and you're good to go.

Also if you're planning to dye your hair afterwards, DO NOT use any oily conditioners/treatments as it would have an effect to the dyeing process.



That's about this for part one :) 

Tomorrow I will bleach my hair.

Still going to think about if I'm gonna do all of my head thought.

I hope this helps. If you've got questions, more tips, feel free to comment ^^

The pictures are back but I still feel lazy to take more of them lol.

I hope I get the strength to blog more fervently and I want to post less rants~

So, thank you for reading up to here! I really appreciate it with all my heart. ♥

Kissy kissy :*
