l’oreal

I like to tell people that I’m going through my teenage rebellion in my early 20’s, hence the reason for my ever-changing hair colours. I keep telling myself I’ll let the colour grown out and chop it off and stick to being a brunette. And then next thing I know, I’m at the drugstore with a box of bleach and some new funky colour in hand. My latest purchase included the new L’Oréal Colorista in the shade #INDIGO500.

 
Now listen to me loud and clear:
I 👏 am 👏 not 👏 a 👏 hairdresser 👏
Never have been, probably never will be. I like changing up my hair colour and understand that there are consequences to colouring your hair at home.

Either way, I decided to take the risk and try something new. The kit came with the colour tube, a ton of gloves, a brush and the instructions.

The application was easier than I thought it would be. The tube made it easy to get as much colour as I wanted, and the thick formula made it so that I only got hair dye on half the things in my bathroom (trust me, that’s actually a win). I left the colour in for about an hour and then hopped into the shower, excited to see how it would look.

Quite a few colours ended up rinsing out. There was pink, blue, a wee bit of purple. Although I do not believe I got my hair light enough before colouring it, once it was blow dried, the indigo looked pretty awesome.

And then, it was time to wash my hair again. I get that colours fade, but my hair quickly went from indigo to aqua. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the colour and told myself I would let it fade and then cut it off.

Spoiler alert: that did not happen. I ended up buying the #TEAL10 shade and I think I have found my new go-to colour. Seriously, I feel like a pretty little land mermaid with my turquoise hair. Unlike the indigo shade, I find the teal fades less and doesn’t need to be touched up as often.

If you’re looking to change up your hair for summer, I definitely recommend giving the Colorista shades a try. Although you have been warned, you may get addicted!
