How to dip dye your hair without damaging it..

Hey guys,

Today I thought I would share with you some advice on how to dip dye your hair without damaging it. As many of you know, if you want to achieve the dip dyed look you are most probably going to have to use bleach on the length of your hair, or at least a high lift dye with strong peroxide. Neither of which are particularly good for the condition of your hair.

I've been rockin' the dip dye look for some time now, but if i'm honest the maintenance of my style is an outright pain in the ass!

My hair is red at the top and fading to an orange/strawberry blonde.  To achieve this look I had to bleach the ends of my hair twice with bleach and 30 vol peroxide. 

From doing this the ends of my hair are now frizzy, damaged and tangle very easily (they look a bit straw like in the picture above). I've had to use deep conditioning treatments twice a week and even still the condition still isn't great. 

I also need to touch up my roots every 6 weeks and the red runs into the blonde and stains it a different colour every time I wash my hair.

So, you might be wondering that the solution is to having healthy hair and still be bang on trend? Check this out!.. (P.S I can't believe how cheap these are! Take a look at the link below)

Seriously, this is my exact hair colour.. I NEED to get me some of these!

I honestly can't believe how cool these are. I'm going to dye my hair all back to one colour and just buy some of these clip ins. It will save me so much hassle and hopefully I'll be able to get my hair back to good condition again.

If you want some decent, affordable extensions check out http://www.buyhair.co.uk too.

What do you think of this style? Are you loving these clip ins as much as me? Leave me a comment below :)

Until next time...

My Hair Obsessions Right Now..

Hi guys,

Today I thought I would write a quick post today about some hair things I am LOVING at the moment. The first thing is pretty popular and i'm sure a lot of you are rockin' this dooo.

1. Ombre / Dip Dye Hair

I have dark red hair at the moment and I decided to bleach my ends to blonde. Well they came out orange which I knew they would anyway but it actually looks pretty cool so I decided to keep the red to orange look. Some people said it looked like flames which I liked :) Here's a pic..

2. Tresemme Hair Wand

I had to get myself a TRESemme 2804BU Volume Curl Wand after borrowing one from a friend to use on a client. I was in love from the first curl! I really like this wand because it's pink, it's comfortable to hold and it looks professional and expensive! Here is the look I achieved from using this wand..

Here is a picture of the wand, not a great pic but you get the idea! :)

3. VO5 High Volume Hairspray

This hairspray is FAN-TABBY-TASTIC! I'm sorry I had to write that in capitals because that's how much I love this hairspray! It's not sticky, it doesn't make your hair like straw. It's a nice fine mist and you can spray it into your roots for some lovely volume. Another thing I love about this hairspray is that it smells amazing.. some hairsprays can smell of well, grannies perfume and if i'm honest I hate smelling like an old person whenever the wind blows through my hair! This is a really nice sort of sweet smell, it's more like a nice perfume than a hairspray.

So there you have it guys, things I'm loving for my hair at the moment. Have you tried any of these things? What are you loving for your hair at the moment?

With Love,

Carly
