Linen Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Color

I have always loved Ash Blonde Hair Color and have wanted it for the past two years, however I had never tried to dye my hair because my hair is naturally Dark brown and was affraid it wouldn't turn out and would end up costing more money then going to the salon to get it done.

Well with a bit of research and looking at reviews online I felt I had the knowledge and courage to finally try going blonde!

First I bleached my hair using "L'Oreal Perfect Blondissima Creme. After the time was up I washed it out and as I knew it would be my hair was bright orange.

For the next two days I washed my hair twice a day with a Shampoo toner called Paul Mitchell’s Platinum Blonde Shampoo. I noticed it dramatically toned down the bright orange in my hair to a light red color with some almost caramel looking peices in my hair which I think was from previous dye. I also deep conditioned it using catwalks peppermint mask to help prepare my hair for one for one more bleaching(I slept with it in as well to really let my hair soak it in). It really helped!

On the third day I bleached it using L'Oreal Perfect Blondissima Creme again but only using the product for half the time on the almost caramel color peices and the rest of my hair which was the red light color for the full time. When time was up I washed the bleach out using the same Paul Mitchell’s Platinum Blonde Shampoo toner as I had before and after my hair was dry it was a yellow blonde.

For the next week I used the shampoo toner and my hair grew lighter and lighter to an almost golden blonde shade and deep conditioned it every night.

When the conditioning week was up I used "Natural Instincts Semi Permanent Hair Color" In Linen (medium ash brown). After washing the product out as directed and blow drying it I started jumping up and down with joy because my hair was the shade oh ash blonde I had been dreaming of!

SO THRILLED WITH THIS PRODUCT! And I love how it isn't as harsh for my hair since its amonia free.
A wonderful product and I recommend it for sure!
