Colour B4 Results and Review

Well this is what I picked up today...
2 boxes of Colour B4 in extra-strength && John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew

So I took everything out of the box and read the instructions over and over, I really didn't want to make a mistake. The consistency of the liquid is very thin and it runs like hell. I tried using it with a tint bowl and brush but was getting it everywhere! So I decided just to take bits on my finger and run it through my hair
(obviously wearing gloves) It also said that you must work quick because the remover becomes less effective after a while.

It stinks so bad which is the only problem, imo. I opened both windows in my room, poowee.
 Once I had it all on my head I covered it in a plastic bag and used a hairdryer to warm it up.
I left it on for about 30minutes. I peeled back the bag and was like 'oh my gosh' I couldn't believe the results! Amazing! I hopped in the shower and rinsed off the mixture, and applied treatment C 2 times.

Colour B4 Results:



Eeeeee Very Happy! I'm Blonde again! Well its quite brassy but I don't really care, that's why I bought the John Frieda Purple Shampoo. Once my roots begin to come through I may just put a champagne dark blonde over, and then get highlights in the summer.

Oh yeh I forgot to mention I only used 1 box of the Colour B4!
Which is great since I do have very thick hair.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone.
It honestly does work wonders.

Change of Colour

So I'm pretty much bored of my red hair colour.
I will always revert back to blonde no matter what.
Its the colour I feel most comfortable in.
I told myself I wasn't going to bleach it all the way back to its original shade,
and that is when I stumbled across Colour B4.
I will be buying the extra strength one,
but the thing is I'm not sure whether I would need 2 boxes since I have insanely thick hair :[
I'm expecting it to turn a brassy blonde-ish colour (yikes!)
I would use a purple shampoo but I don't have the foggiest idea where I could buy a bottle!

The colour I am aiming for is a dark blonde, somewhat like my natural colour:


(Sourced from various tumblr accounts)

I think I might try this colour out! It's only £4.99 from Superdrug.

Wish Me Luck!
I don't want multi coloured hair :'[

Red Hair using L'Oréal Casting Crème Gloss Mahogany

Soooo, I wanted a change from my usual blonde hair since its basically winter. I loved the look of mahogany hair.

I bit the bullet and bought some L'oreal casting creme gloss in 550! But since I have REALLY thick hair I waited for my hairdressers to pop round so she could do it for me! She said if I had done it myself it would have gone streaky. Anyways to cut a long story short 1 box was not enough! fail... My dad had to run out and buy another! (tip: get 2 boxes to be on the safe side!) So the dye was whacked on my head and I waited about 45mins. In that time I played some WOW, a couple of BG's and the dye was ready to be washed out. So I had my head over the sink for what seemed like a lifetime, red dye is such a pain!


Result:
It's already fading but is leaving nice light reddish highlights behind!
Its a great colour and I would definitely recommend the L'oreal casting creme gloss :)
Oh and another thing, the colour looks totally different depending on what the lights like...
