Beautylabo's Caramel Custard,

ANYEONG!

Okay so as you guys know, I had a stress relief dyeing my hair session ^^

And just to show you the process! I have dyed my hair using DIY hair dyes 3 times in my years

And I have never had a problem with it, either the dye is really good or my hair can withstand alot of chemicals Lolol. So if you're interested in doing it, ALWAYS test whether you have an allergic reaction towards the hairdye. The instructions inside the box will show you how :) I have used Liese once, and two others were cheap dyes to dye it back to black so I don't get kicked out of school ^^ I used Marshmallow brown if I'm not wrong... and the colour came out really even! And lasted a long time, I should know... 2 black hair dyes couldn't dye it back to my normal colour! 

Liese is a great hair dye. That's why it's so popular! :D

1. The dye is in foam form. So when you put it on your hair, it's kind of like taking a bath. Lol it's foamy with bubbles and it's formulated that way so the dye can spread evenly! 
2. The hair dye doesn't smell TOO bad.. I mean got ammonia smell lah, but what's a little smell if you can get nice colour right. Hahaha
3. It didn't sting. The bleaching (if any) in the hair dye is really gentle and doesn't hurt your scalp. But this is from my experience because the effects differ on different people!
4. The colour came out really niceeeeeee! And ALMOST the same colour as what they said on the box. The colour differs based on how light or how bleached your hair colour was before you dye it. Mine was "virgin" hair. Lol.. so understandable! :D But still really nice colour!
5. The rinsing part was very easy, and my hair colour was even throughout and the roots were brown too!
6. They give you hair treatment inside the box. HAHAHA, so your hair won't be so damaged after dyeing with it
7. Hair. not. damaged ~ Didn't really dry out my hair. But then again, it's from my experience :)

Although Liese is a great hair dye. SERIOUSLY GREAT

But I thought that the colour was abit too gentle. The colour wasn't so sharp. So I went to SASA and asked the sales lady for her opinion, and she said that there was a new line called Beautylabo. Apparently she said this hair dye gives you a sharper and really pretty colour! The packaging was cute too so I got sucked in. Lol . Price wise - Slightly cheaper than Liese's bubble hair dye. 1rm cheaper :D I bought it in CARAMEL CUSTARD. This colour was one of the lightest in its whole range, and my hair was unvirgined virgin hair because my roots grew out Lolol, so I bought it. I kinda had second thoughts dyeing my hair because after seeing the reviews online of the colour on other people, I was quite scared. It came out abitt of a yellow tint? So I was like. OMGGGGGGG HOW LAH, SHOULD I SHOULD I. 

So girls.. do your research before you buy!! HAHAHAH. But my sister said aiya, if you don't like it also you can always dye it in Mocha Orange from liese ( which was the colour I originally wanted). And the colour will come out nicer because your hair will already be bleached. So I agreed and went for it!

I had to keep my hair unwashed for 3 days so the natural oil can protect my scalp from the harsh chemicals inside the hair dye itself. So let's start! ^^

Before dye, lol look at them oilsss~ Hehe

It's Do it yourself hairdye, but I always get my sister to do it for me AHAHHA. Which is recommended so that the hair dye is more evenly spread in your hair because they can see whether the hair dye is put on every part of your head! ESPECIALLY the roots, you don't want to tie your hair and can see dark roots TT 

So not chio!

READDD THE INSTRUCTIONS

The hair dye. Inside is like some powder which you have to pour in with the colour developer which is in the box too! They give you the rubber gloves too. Make sure you wear it if you're doing it yourself. And remove any of the hair dye if it touches your skin!

After shaking ~

LIKE THIS! Looks like milkshake right! But trust me.. it doesn't smell like it AHAHA

 When I saw it I was like Oh niu..confirm blonde la

BYE BYE HAIR

I was blinking Lulul.

My sister kept telling me it looked like I was turning into Homer Simpson.

The process of putting the hair dye in should be 10 minutes, and 30 minutes would be the waiting time!

Do not go over 30 minutes thinking that "oh if i put longer my hair will be brighter!"

NO, it's formulated in a way that the colour will remain that colour no matter how long you put it.

So you'll just come out with dry and damaged hair

Going to wash it. My expression was D: when I took a picture. 

Not that bad! Not blonde! HAHAHAHA

All pictures just brightened and contrasted a bit

I went out after I dyed my hair, so I just took the after dye picture a day after :)

You can see the roots are all dyed and even!

It might not look so evenly spread here, but in real life, it is really even. Trust me!

The front part is abit lighter than the rest of the hair but it always is.. because you have to start from the hairline when you dye your hair, so I guess it had more time to develop? But either way still happy with the results ^^ It's like a brown with orange tint!

No flash!

 With flash!

Okay Beautylabo's Caramel Custard was a success!! My opinion of it

1. Compared to Liese, in my AND my sister's opinion, Beautylabo's was easier in the dyeing process, because you basically have to scoop it out of the milkshake shaker thingy and slap it on  your hair.. You don't have to squeeze it out like you have to do for Liese's. But still, both are not that inconvenient!
2. The smell though... It was okay.. bearable. But stronger than Liese's. I guess the chemicals are stronger? Idk. But before my sister helped me out, she had a running nose.. So while she did it, she had to suck in because she couldn't rub her nose and she would suck in the ammonia smell with it HAHAHAHAH IT WAS SO FUNNY, I wasn't so affected. It was the person doing it that had to suffer. LOLOL. AHAHAHHA
3. While waiting, and during the process of dyeing my hair, my scalp started to tingle and kinda stung. The pain was bearable, but it was uncomfortable. BUT BEAUTY IS PAIN. SO SUCK IT UP AND BE A... WO-MAN.
4. The discomfort was worth it, because I loved the colourrr! The colour IS sharper and quite bright. So I'm a satisfied consumer :')
5. They also included a after dye hair treatment serum. So make sure you use it! Hair feels super soft after it~

That was my view on Beautylabo Caramel Custard! The most important part of using the hair dye and if you really love the colour.. is maintaining the colour. So make sure you love your hair, USE shampoo and conditioner that are made specially for coloured hair - generally because they actually have more nutrients in them to nourish damaged hair and also chemicals to maintain the colour of the hair ( I actually use them even without coloured hair) Lol, they are good! :D , Go for hair treatments if you can afford it or buy those hair masks from the counter, always use heat protector before straightening or curling your hair to avoid it from being even MORE damaged. I can assure you your hair will be healthy and happy ^^ The colour will be maintained too! 

I really love the colour, but I'm contemplating redyeing it. Hahah, because it's bright! But I wanted it slightly brighter, if you have any opinions about a lighter coloured hair dye, let me know! :D 

Or tweet me at @amandamoa

Hope you guys were more informed about this product and I will update soon :D

Love, biffle xx.
