Directions Hair Dye

Hello there,

In today's blog I'd like to review something I am currently loving.

It is the La Riche Directions Semi Permanent Hair Dye.

As I currently have bright red hair, I am finding this stuff is amaaaaaaazing!!! I am currently using the colour 'Poppy Red', though I have used 'Flamingo Pink' when I used to have pink flashes.

What I find great about it is:

• It's really inexpensive, I purchase mine from my local shopping centre, for about £5 per tub
• It's not damaging! There is no peroxides or nastiness, it is basically plant extracts, it is in fact conditioning (even says so on the tub) Which is a super plus for me, as I had a bleaching incident a year ago and my hair went really really dry, but alas it is fixed now and we shall never return to that awful place again haha. 
• It works super fast, I leave mine on for about 20 mins, wash it out and away I go. Though you can leave on for as long as you like 'cause it's not damaging. 
• What's awesome too is you don't need to mix it with ANYTHING, it's basically straight out of the tub to your head! 
• There's no nasty chemical smell, it smells sort of like paint haha. 
• I get about 1-2 full head treatments out of it, depending on how long and thick my hair is. 
• It extends colour time before needing to go to the salon! I have super thick mid length hair that grows really quick, so I try and not break the bank at the salon as much as I can and with this beauty it does just that! I apply it on my mousey brown roots and overall for a bright boost. 
• If you mix a small amount of conditioner in with the colour and apply after you've washed your hair, you'll have lovely conditioned hair, but will also have the pigment in there to fight the fade. You can also dilute the colours with conditioner, which is going to give you a not so bright colour, perhaps if you wanted a more pastel shade. I'm loving Kelly Osbourne's Lilac colour at the minute. Plus mixing with conditioner will act as a nourishing treat for your hair too.  

So overall I think it's fab and will continue to use it throughout my journey of colours. Let me know how you get on if you try it!

Introduction!

Hello there and welcome to my blog, Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out! I'm Caroline and I'm from a small town in Lancashire in England (Uk),I currently work full time in the Customer Services industry, though I am a fully qualified Beauty Therapist and Nail technician. I love all things girly, creative, beauty, quirky, different, funny and everything inbetween. In my spare time I can normally be found reading other blogs, browsing Youtube, slobbing in front of my TV/PS3. I love discovering new things and trying stuff out! I had been meaning to set up a blog for some time, but it was just having the time to set down and write on a regular basis, as I love to share things. What also gave me the extra encouragement was from reading other peoples blogs, such as MsBudgetBeauty and Kandee Johnson, both these bloggers and others have been a big inspiration for me to do this, I enjoy reading their blogs so much, that I thought I would give it a try. What you can expect from this blog, is a little bit of everything, from sharing news from my everyday life, to beauty related posts, to reviews on anything I think would be worth sharing. I apologise if my blog doesn't look as creative and fancy as others, but I am still getting used to Blogger and playing about with different buttons to see what happens, haha. So there's a little bit about lil' ol' me, I hope you enjoy reading and I will try and post at least on a weekly basis. Thaks again and I hope you have a great day! :)
