Gem and Jo Take on Hair Dye.

Last night we decided to dip dye our hair!! We bought two different brands of dye, because we wanted different colours and we figured it would be a good idea to sample each brand so we could tell you guys which is best! 

The amazing thing about these dyes was that we were able colour our hair without, (yes without!) the use of bleach. We definitely didn't want to use that nasty stuff so we searched for ages to find brands that didn't use it and allowed bright colours to show in dark hair. 

Here are the two products we bought:
Gemma used the Schwarzkopf Live colour XXL in the colour L76, Ultra Violet.It is part of the HD Luminance range which is designed for dying dark hair. €7.50

Johannah used L'Oreal Paris Féria Extreme ombré in the colour EO3, Extreme Flame Red. €7.99

 Both products where inexpensive and were easy enough to come by, being sold in most Boots stores in Dublin.

The Schwarzkopf box contained all the products seen in the picture above. 

1. Instruction leaflet and gloves. 

2. Application bottle and developer lotion 

3. After colour treatment

4. tube of live colour cream 

The L'Oreal Box contained all the products seen in the picture above

1. set of gloves 

2. applicator brush 

3. applicator bottle and developer cream 

4. créme colourant 

5. after colour treatment (contains enough for 7 washes)  

6. Instruction leaflet. 

Although slightly more expensive, the L'Oreal box contained much better items than the Schwarzkopf. The applicator brush was very useful and we used it for both of our hair to ensure no straight lines of dye were applied. L'Oreal also give you more moisturizing conditioner for after the dye is applied, enough for up to 7 washes, whereas Schwarzkopf had only enough for one.
L'Oreal's gloves are also of a much higher standard, they didn't rip or let any dye inside them, however they are a very small fit, even for us!

Here are the before and after pictures we took!!
