L'oreal Preferences Wild Ombre - Review

By -
taken from google images
For about 2 years now I have wanted to have dip dye/ombre hair and I have finally done it (a little late I know). I decided to use L'oréal preference wild ombres in shade 2 for medium blonde to brown hair. I wasn't totally sure what shade to use because, if you have ever noticed, there is never a recommended shade for gingers (can you class that as racist?). 
I forgot to take pictures of the process so you will just have to use your imagination.
  • Firstly, you must put the lightening powder and lightening cream into bottle 1 and shake lots.
  • Then you put it onto the little brush and brush it evenly onto your hair where you want it
  • Then leave it for up to 45 minutes depending on how light you want it. 
  • Rinse it off and use the special shampoo


    • Before and after shots:
    before
after
the after shot isn't fabulous because my hair is still a little bit wet and it does now look a bit lighter.
I think this picture shows you it a bit better
I totally recommend this product as it's so easy to use and the results are quite good. However if your hair is similar to mine (ginger!!!) then you might want to use the one for darker hair so it shows up a bit better or just leave it on for longer than 45 minutes. I will probably use a lightening shampoo to make it a bit brighter! 
I am really pleased with the results although it did turn my blonde highlights, that I got over a year ago, bright blonde!!! oh well!

      You should try it! I recommend using the one for darker hair though to make it brighter because mine is very very subtle! xx

    Is it really easy to use? I'm a bit clumsy and worried how it will turn out!

An Ode to My Former Wardrobe

By -

14 months ago I hopped on a plane (or two) to sunny New Zealand, leaving most of my wardrobe behind. I packed my favourite items into my backpack and off I went. Not long after starting my trip I declared that I would try not to purchase any new clothes for a whole year to keep my wardrobe sustainable (and it went pretty well ). After 14 months of wearing the same pieces, I have to admit I am getting quite bored. Most of my capsule wardrobe consists of 3 colours: black, white, rusty orange so it's fairly easy to mix and match my pieces but I am longing for some change, particularly as my style continues to evolve.  I miss my pink cords, my favourite blue denim jeans that I wore constantly. I want my abundance of oat coloured jumpers  and my favourite customised blazer. I have developed a real appreciation for the wardrobe that I left behind and find myself styling outfits that I will wear when I return home. I am so used to wearing the same outfits that some of my old

What's In My Clothes?

It's Fashion Revolution Week and this year we are not only asking "who made my clothes?" but we are also questioning fast fashion brands on what's in my clothes. We all know that fast fashion is killing our planet with excessive water use, harmful chemicals and a shed load of plastic that ultimately end up in water systems and the ocean. Only 5% of the raw materials used to make a garment are actually contained in the final product. The other 95% is often left unconsidered when in reality it's also having an impact on our planet. What's in My Clothes? So what is in our clothes? Many clothes today are made from plastic based fibres, including plyester, nylon and acrylic. When we wash our clothes microfibers are released and end up in our water systems and in the sea. As well as this, there's also lots of harmful chemicals that go into our clothes, particularly in the dying and finishing processes. These chemicals are harmful for garment wor

Environmental racism is a relatively new concept for me and something I am learning more about everyday. Environmental racism refers to the way in which Black people, indigenous people and people of colour are disproportionately effected by the climate crisis. Since this is something that I am learning about, I wanted to share some resources with you that I have found useful and that can explain it much better than I can. So What is Environmental Racism? Let's start with some definitions... "Environmental racism refers to public policies and industry practices disproportionately placing the burden of pollution, waste and the climate crisis on Black people, indigenous people and people of colour" - Waste Free Marie " Environmental racism refers to the way in which minority group neighbourhoods (populated primarily by people of color and members of low socioeconomic groups) are burdened with a disproportionate number of hazards, including toxic waste facilities, garbag
