Nice 'N Easy | Natural Dark Brown



I transitioned from blonde to brunette back in October and have only just realised that I never did a post showing you guys what colour I went or how I did it. Considering that Hair dye posts seem to be my most popular I thought I would belatedly tell you all about it.

Before I dyed my hair brown I had the faded out remnants of my Harley Quinn hair, so I knew I'd have to do something pretty drastic to get rid of the blue from the ends. As autumn was approaching I thought it would be the perfect time to give dark hair a go, since I hadn't been brunette since I was 17. With a drastic colour change came a drastic style change I cut off half the length (which at that point was pure dead hair - don't wait 2 years for a hair cut!) and got a fringe. 

BEFORE 





As you can see my hair was quite a bright bleached blonde, thanks a lot South American sunshine, and as a result was quite frazzled. 

Obviously I did not cut my hair myself, I definitely do not have that level of skill or steady enough hands to not botch up a fringe. I did however dye my hair myself, the colour I used was Nice'n Easy in 4 (former 120) Natural Dark Brown. 

I've always been a fan of Nice'n Easy hair dyes, they're cost effective, easy to use and aren't that damaging to your hair. I also find them to be a pretty perfect match colour wise. 

I left my hair dye on for an extra 5 minutes than what it said on the instructions, just because I wanted the colour to be especially dark. 

AFTER 



I am still so happy with how the colour came out, it's the perfect deep brown, but not too dark that it washes me out, which is a problem I've had with dark shades in the past. 

I would thoroughly recommend this colour for anyone looking to try something a bit different, or even as just a top up for already brunette hair.

Nice'n Easy | Natural Pale Blonde


Today I'm going back to my roots (tee hee) and doing a hair dye post. These kind of posts were one of my main inspirations behind starting my blog, its in the name for goodness sake; and as they seem to be my more popular posts I thought lets have a little blog throwback. Plus I REALLY needed to dye my hair. 



BEFORE - HEY MINGING ROOTS

I'm quite up in the air at the minute about what colour I want to dye my hair, I'm very tempted by 3 drastic hair makeovers but have yet to make a decision. Whilst my indecision takes over my brain I decided to just dye my hair a standard blonde just to sort out my roots, because 6 months worth of roots are just not okay.

I used Nice'n Easy Natural Pale blonde to achieve my current look, I decided to use this one because Nice'n Easy is a brand I'm accustomed to using so I know that they're dyes always turn out well. I chose natural pale blonde because it matched the current colour of my hair and so wouldn't cause me too much trouble when trying to cover my roots.


AFTER - HEY POSEY GIRL

I'm really happy with how the colour turned out, it looks very natural and healthy, which after 3 months of travelling and sun damage is something it very much needed. I'm a huge fan of the conditioner that comes with Nice'n Easy hair dyes, it smells amazing and always leaves my hair in amazing condition, considering that its just been dyed.

I hope you enjoyed this blast from the past kind of post, and I will definitely be doing more of these when I make the decision about what hair adventure I want to undergo next.
