I've Had The Most Convenient Way Of Coloring My Hair ft. Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color

Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color in Golden Brown and Bronze Brown

Bought for: Free | SRP: P419/each

From: Liese Philippines

I have always wanted to dye my hair but rather than spending thousands in hair salons, I would prefer doing it myself. Not just I get to save some cash but I could also learn from it, right? I have been planning to dye my hair and miracle just happened when Liese Philippines reached out to me and said that they would love to send something over for me to try. Well, it was a beautiful PR package, is it not? Liese has been making the rounds now in social media and a lot of fellow bloggers has been talking about them lately. Just what an overwhelming surprise it is to be chosen as one of the reviewers by Japan's #1 Hair Coloring Brand, right? Having received two timeless shades of hair dyes, I just couldn't wait to share my experience with you! Moving forward, here's my thoughts after trying out the one in Golden Brown!

Claims

An easy-to-use, fuss-free hair dye kit that quickly transforms gray to trendy hair color. Non-drip foam turns to cream and enables complete coverage of strands; pigment-rich colorant transforms gray strands to trendy hair color; lets you achieve rich, lasting tints; replenishes moisture with royal jelly extract to give hair a healthy, bouncy look; “low-smell” formula won’t sting.

Shades

The Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color line is designed to entirely cover gray hair which I don't mind playing with. So I was sent two (2) shades to review among the four (4) shades from the Basic Brown series--Golden Brown, Bronze Brown, Brown and Black Brown. There's a few more color variety to choose from like Red/Pink, Warm Brown and Ash Brown Series. One item from the PR package I got is Golden Brown which appears to be more vibrant than the Bronze Brown. Since I have uncolored hair prior to application, I opted for the one that promises a more vibrant shade based on the color guide provided.

Packaging

To be honest, your mind won't go blank because there are lots of precautions and directions that are found in one kit. The box itself displays all (or even more) necessary information you will ever need for a safe, hassle-free application. You really have to read over because there are really important notes that you will need to follow. One mistake and you might not like what you will eventually get.

What's included in the kit? And what you will be needing...

Basically, there's solution 1 (black bottle) and solution 2 (white bottle) that you have to mix together. The solution in the white bottle has a milky color while the one in black has a clear color. Both are liquidy. Once you mix them together, they will turn a fuzzy shade of grayish brown which I believe what would give the hair the tint it needs. There's also this pink foaming device that you have to switch over with the cap from the white bottle. I really do appreciate that you can find a rinse-off treatment in this kit to save your hair mainly from dyeing. Set that pink aluminum sachet aside for now, you won't need that until you rinse the foam off your hair. There's two gloves provided to avoid staining your hands while you are on the process.

And just what did I tell you about too much information? I'm quite surprise that this product also includes a huge manual that displays all the information you have to know about the product. There's both Japanese (I think it's Japanese because Liese is a Japanese brand, right? Correct me if I'm wrong!) and English translation so no worries, you will catch up!

Before I forget, you will also need a towel, oil-based creams to avoid staining your skin and easy removal of dyes, and basically anything to protect the things around you (floor, tables, etc) from staining.

Directions For Use

The manual is very user-friendly so you won't have troubles following what it's saying. Make sure that your hair is clean and dry prior to application and wear clothes that you don't mind staining. Apply a generous amount of oil based creams on any areas of your skin that you think might accidentally get stained like ears, forehead, and nape.

Basically, you just have to pour Solution 1 to the bottle of Solution 2  Mix them by turning the bottle upside down for 5 times and make sure not to shake! Replace the white cap with the pink foaming device, wear your gloves and start squeezing away to create foam. Disperse it on your hair as quick as you could and remember that the solution is only good for about 60 minutes/1 hour after mixing both solutions together. You don't have to have any skills in applying the foam just as long as you make sure that every strands are coated. It's basically like how you shampoo your hair.

You have to leave it on for about 20 minutes or more depends on how quick you think your hair would absorb the tint. I left mine for about 30 minutes after covering my head with foam. It was noted the one kit would suffice a shoulder-length hair, mines not long enough but definitely longer and thicker so I'm quite hesitant with the ratio. Still, I let it go.

Performance

I was really satisfied with the outcome because it gave me an even color that does not look like I just did it myself. It gave me a coppery shade of brown I love and the color was so vibrant that even my colleagues told me how I look so 'blooming'. Given that I have black hair, one kit gave me a whole new look and the color was distinguishable enough even from afar. The whole process was super easy and it barely took me 2 hours to have everything done. Thanks to the non-drip formula, I don't have to tire myself up for cleaning out mess and stains. Everything about is is absolutely true, though I'm still kind of irritated with the funky strong scent of dyes, I appreciate that it wasn't too strong at all.

For those who are asking, Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color dried my hair just a teeny bit but it's nothing the rinse-off treatment and maintenance conditioners wouldn't get rid of. Overall, I'm just so satisfied with this product, I'm so happy I tried it, and looking forward to try Bronze Brown maybe next month! Have you tried self-hair-coloring?

Hair dyeing made more fun by Novellina!

Who's looking forward to getting a new hair color for this new year? I do!!! *clap clap

But the saddest thing about dyeing my hair right now is that I had my hair dyed last November (just a couple months ago!). Meaning, I should not get another dyeing session for the next few months or else I will have my hair damaged. Yeah, right, prevention is better than cure. Nobody told me when should I dye my hair next, but given the fact that it can cause dryness and coarseness, oh boy, just thinking about it makes me say no when it has been a blessing to have an 'OK' hair, meaning I have already received few compliments about its look.

However, there are really times when I can't help but get naughty that I color my hair again when I notice my original hair color starts to appear from the top. Ombre does not look good that way especially when it looks uneven, right? 

Anyway, I think the culprit for dryness that you can get with hair dyeing is pointed to the harmful chemicals there are on commercial hair dyes. Good thing, I have found Novellina Hair Colors that are free of dreaded ammonia, hydrogen peroxide (known for bleaching) and has conditioning agents and Japanese 3D formula.

Not just that, because they send me samples of their products for me to use to my hair! Thanks for being so generous, guys!

They sent me seven boxes to try. Believe me, I' tempted to use all of these but my inner instinct won't approve. Anyhow, these boxes would be a cheaper alternative to salon visits for, uhm, say, years? Good things a box expires after five years from the manufacturing date!

The hair dyes that Novellina sent me are in the shades of Golden Brown, Brown, Chestnut Brown and Black. I think I'll be sporting black hair in a few months and give the other browns to my friends so we can have some fun dyeing sessions! My family could even use some and there would still shades left for me! My friends are already thanking you, guys for your generosity!

This one is in the shade of brown and has six sachets inside. One mane could use two-three sachets per session, I guess? Depends on the thickness and length of the hair.

This one is in brown too. I love that it has these bottles, it made me think like I'm gonna have salon-level dyeing.

This is the smallest box and has this cute amber glass with powder hair color inside. I don't think I will ever use the applicator though as it's very small for our hair but I'm keeping it so when my brothers think of dyeing their hair, they could have it. Lol.

These boxes are in shade of brown and the other one is in black. One box has two sachets inside and a bottle to mix everything in. I love how Novellina created this in different shades, catering to every girl's color preference, thus making hair compliment any outfits, complexion and features!

These two big boxes are in the shades of Golden Brown. All the products seen in the flat lay were contained in one box, meaning a box has all of these as contents! It looks like it's for professional hair coloring so I'm really excited to try this one out!

If you read my previous posts, I have used a Novellina Hair Color before in the shade dark brown. The sachet was but so small yet enough to color my entire mane although I don't like the shade that it has given me because my hair turned a shade darker that's because my hair is dark in the first place. But that's how Novellina Hair Color works, concealing your crowns of glory and giving you a newly perfect colored hair! Can't wait to dye my hair! I'll be updating soon about this products!

The products were manufactured by Novellina Cosmetics and is imported and distributed by Tritan Ventures Inc.

Tritan Ventures, Inc. was incorporated in 1994 as YHK Company, Inc. as a trading company primarily interested in the production and / or distribution of cosmetic products for both the local and export markets. It then spent the next few years in pre-operational mode, developing its products and its market.

REVIEW: Novelina Zeelke Powder Hair Color in Dark Brown

A couple of weeks ago, my mom brought home a sample of Novelina Zeelke Powder Hair Color. I have no idea whether it's an international or local product as I haven't yet encountered its brand name before (not until my mom gave it to me). It was just a free item which was given to her while she was walking along Makati, according to her. I badly wanted to color my hair for weeks now and there's no one in the household who dared to use the product, so might as well it be me.

According to the product, it's easy and fast to use. I think it's just as hard as any hair dyeing process especially when you're doing the coloring all by yourself. It's long-lasting? Let me see. And it looks natural. On that I have to agree but in a bad way. It just makes my hair look closer to how my hair color looks like (without any dye).

First of all, the powdered hair dye is herbal and is free from ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, so there's no way I'm gonna get scared applying it as there would be lesser possibility of it damaging my hair. My mom got the dark brown but I wanted a lighter hair dye. Anyway, it's for free naman and I think there's no harm in trying.

I really have no idea where to purchase it. And it's not bothering me at all. There's no way I'm gonna purchase another one of these. Why? Because I'm quite disappointed with the product while it looks promising. I'm so sorry I forgot to take some pictures when I mixed the products and when I applied it on my hair. If it makes any difference, I can't say much. It just makes my hair darker like close to jet black when I'm expecting some sort of mahogany brown tone for my hair.

For the application, I follow the directions. I just have to add 6 teaspoons of water to the powder. Quite easy, right? Upon opening, I already catch a whiff of the product and it smells worse compared to hair dyes with ammonia! The powder can easily be compared to crushed charcoals while the description says it's in dark brown! When I mix the water, the texture turned like a loose paste and as black as the canal! No exaggeration here.

I really had to pull some guts to apply the formula in my hair. The smell was unbearably awful that I had to seriously resist from breathing for seconds.

All in all, I am not satisfied with this product. Although it did not cause me any irritation at all, I am still not going to repurchase. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures of my hair before and after. But believe me, this product just turned them darker. Anyway, still thanks to this, I just read some memo from my school just now that hair dyeing will be banned for both gender starting tomorrow. XD

Color Your Hair Brown Using Glam Works Permanent Hair Dye Color!

Yesterday, I mentioned on my blog post that I bought two packets of Glam Works Hair Dye Color in Light Brown. I am just so excited to try this product out since it would be the first time for me to do a diy hair coloring. Tell you what, I enjoyed it! I bought the one which colors hair in light brown because I really wanted a lighter hair for a long time now. Glam Works Permanent Hair Dye Color comes in four (4) shades: Light Brown, Medium Brown, Burgundy and Black. Among the four shades, I wanted the lightest color payoff, and it's the light brown. And I also think that when I buy the other three shades, I would end up regretting since the color wouldn't be that obvious. And you know, I wanted a hair that shouts "Brown!" even in dim places.

Glam Works Permanent Hair Dye Color, P49/ea

According to Glam Works, the hair dye is "made of natural herbal essences and can change the hair color in just one hair washing. It lasts up to 8 weeks, turning the hair naturally bright, and conceals your gray hair naturally. Admittedly, I didn't expect a lot from this product especially one pack is just quite cheap. But I read good reviews about it on other blogs so it increased my hope of getting better results. Anyways, you can't go wrong it naman given the price...

Another thing I like about it is the smell. I am really not that very particular when it comes to the fragrance of a certain product, but who loves the smell of ammonia!? I hate it every time I go to salon and I always have to catch a whiff of those urine-smelling chemicals that can be found on hair dyes and such. I am not saying that the scent is light but it's not that stinky smelling as well compared to other hair dyes. Actually, after rinsing, you can still smell the fragrance of the dye and it's not that strong, so for me, it's no biggie.

Of course I had to follow the instructions. I am very cautious with that because I don't want anything to get wrong on the first time I use a product. So I had to wash my hair first, making sure it's clean because I believe that the dye would stick that much longer than when your hair is covered with dusts and oil. Then I had to wring out my hair to remove excess water.

Upon cutting the edge of the sachet, you will notice this:

You have to mix them both before applying it to your hair. Since I use two sachets for my below-the-shoulder-length hair, I preferred to put the contents first onto a small bowl since I can't hold them all with my two teeny tiny hands. Hahah!

After mixing them, I just applied it on my hair the same way I apply shampoo. And you will notice bubbles! You're just like shampooing while leaving dyes on your hair! But don't forget to use the gloves if you don't want to stain your hands! The sachet has an attached disposable plastic gloves with it anyways.

Then leave your hair for 25 minutes or longer! To avoid staining my white shirt, I had to use my old shower cap that I don't mind to get stained.

Rinse it after 30 minutes! And voila! Just don't forget to apply conditioner afterwards because the chemicals on dyes can make your hair dry! This is what I've noticed upon rinsing. I'm not a fan of conditioners because they make my hair a lot more prone to hairfall but this time is an exception!

The results?

From black to brown!

All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the results (given the price)! Although the color payoff does not completely satisfy my desire for a much lighter hair and even color, I just had to keep in mind that I just paid a hundred bucks for this than thousands if I go to salon!

So girls (and guys), have you tried Glam Works Permanent Hair Dye Color yet? Share it here with me! Happy blogging!
