My extremely late Ombre hair lol x_x

Yep I finally did it. I went blonde. I must say it wasn't as easy as I would have thought. I dyed my extensions as I did not want to bleach my own hair.

The look I was going for:

THE PROCESS:

I left the bleach (used normal hair store bought powder bleach and 30% liquid developer) for 45 minutes in total on the hair. Started on the tips of the hair and left that for 5 minutes. Then I proceeded to place the rest of the bleach higher up but not up to halfway for about 20 minutes. At halfway up my hair exactly where I wanted it to fade I put the bleach there and left that for 20 minutes. I put the bleach in steps so that there would be a fading gradient effect.

THE RESULTS:

*This is what it looked after rinsing and conditioning. 

*NOTE: It is important to ALWAYS condition your hair after bleaching, as this strips your hair of it's essential oils and dry's it out, increasing breakage and shedding. I use a colour protect shampoo for damaged/bleached hair, olive oil conditioning mask and Moroccan argan oil.

                                                                                                           

Once straightened

CONCLUSION:

All in all I really love how it came out. I get alot of compliments with the occasional jab from a random individual about how I'm too dark-skinned to carry it off. But, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion....

Anyways here's some pics of me out and about with my new blonde do :).
