Review of Manic Panic Dye and new ones!

Hello everybody!

Once again I am sorry for the space between posts, I know, I suck!
But as much as I'd like to blog everyday, Im afraid I may run out of ideas or bore you all to death...
Por Examplé (whatever)
Today I washed my hair
with the usual stuff
Then I went the gym
Tomorrow I will be in work all day then sleep.

So yeah they may be far and few in between, but think of them as little gold nuggets you only find in every so often.

So the reason being for such a lengthy pause is basically.....I graduated in June, tried to get a job, got a job, quit before the first day (i was basically getting paid 3.75 per hour for 9 hours of work, pshk! yeah, right!). Worked my 2nd job a lot to get money to buy xmas prezzies.

So now I have a little more meeeee time, I thought I had better get cracking with this backlog.

So when I last left you I was raving to use the Manic Panic dyes as Holly Hagan kept promoting.
So for my monthly trip to the hairdressers I had the usual root lightener and then i showed her the dye and asked for her to slap it on instead of the usual Directions dye.
She kindly did so.
So where the issue starts:

• The dye was sooo runny! it was like watered down, and as the hairdresser accidentally dropped a blob off her brush it went 'SPLAT' and due to it being runny, it splatted to a radius of like 10inches! it was everywhere!! So after bleaching the floor and many apologies later.....
• When the dye was washed off (and most of it was) MY HAIR WAS ORANGE! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU CLASS AS 'PILLARBOX RED' MANIC PANIC? I CLASS THIS AS CARROT TOP!
• After 1 wash the trickle of what was left of the red was basically gone, leaving me an orange/pink/brown mix.

Me in Manchester and my ginger entirety 

Fantastic

So I gave up and had shit hair for weeks and sulked ALOT and had to put my trust in my wig collection for when I went Manchester (and to see 30 Seconds to Mars, fuck that I'm going to see them with shit hair!) So wigs + bobble hats it was. Needless to say I was sweltering after 1 hour and ended up ripping my purple one off in the toilets at Afflecks Palace and got grouchy.

So after weeks of searching and billions of reviews, recommendations and such, one name kept popping up on my screen....

PRAVANA CHROMA SILK

And its not just because I read reviews on it i chose it (like I did stupidly with Manic Panic), i watched YouTube sessions and also one of my woman crushes and all time I-want-to-look-like:

Pinup Doll Ashley Marie

WHY I NO LOOK LIKE THIS!?!? :(

I loves her very much!

Anyway back to reality...

So apparently she uses the Chroma Silk Vivids in a equal mix of 'Orange' and 'Red', so straight to Ebay and about £13 later they came. But being more skint than a dog I chose to go back to my old school self and D.I.Y!! ( I always get nervous doing it myself as I cant blame anyone if my hair drops out!)

RESULT:

Excuse the scribble faces, I didn't want to scare anyone with no makeup on

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

This stuff is AMAZEBALLS!

• Its thick like gel so stays on well and spreads evenly
• It lasts long and is in large bottles
• It can be all mixed together to create crazy colours
• Its soo creamyyy
• It has extracts of silk and protein in to fix and protect damaged hair
• It doesn't transfer onto clothing or bedding like Directions
• When it washes only a little comes out so no staining 

So all is amazing

However due to my hair having old bleach at the ends, ex-brunette in the middle and strawberry blonde roots (where it is lifted with toner), the orange has taken to the roots and brunette and the red has taken more to the brittle porous ends. After a few washes is this only visible.

So from now on I think I will just use the red.

Next stop
