My New Hair Colour!

Left; Before with natural brown.
Right; New colour 'Intense Red'.

I finally got off my butt and dyed my hair after threatening to do it for about a month now. I was pretty sure I wanted to go this shade of red more or less but hadn't come across a dye that I liked the look of enough to use.

The new Olia range by Garnier (Permanent Hair Colour) caught my attention as it is ammonia free and oil based which is unusual for permanent colours and I definitely wanted to go permanent as semi's just rinse out of my fine hair so flippin' quickly!

I've been red on & off tonnes of times since I started dying my hair as a teenager and am always happy to go back.

I picked up the dye in Tesco as it was on special offer for less than €9.00.

I wasn't hugely overjoyed with the results the night I dyed it, mainly because it was night time and I didn't have the light to show up the red shine and my hair looked soooo much darker than the box results.....

My befores and afters from the night of, the after results are quite dark.....

The next day though when I got into the light of day it really showed up the colour and I was way happier with the final result.

Over all it's a really easy system to use and it left my hair in the same healthy feeling condition as it was pre-dye.

Knowing just how quickly red can fade and go dull I plan on using the new Semi-Permanent (6 to 8 washes) Live Color XXL by Schwarzkopf in 'Pillar Box Red' that I also picked up from Tesco on sale last month for inbetween touching up my roots and colour.
