Hair Dye Experience and Liese Foam Hair Color review

Last November, I had my hair dyed and choosing a light chestnut hair, I loved it totally. My cousin in Hong Kong knew exactly the colour blend and with no bleaching required, she managed to dye my  hair beautifully.  However my hair is growing fast and I can my dark black roots.

I had always had my hair dyed at a hair salon, never ever done a home kit hair dye before. Anyway I knew I wasn't going to want to go to a hair salon in UK to dye my hair. I had an awful experience where the colour hardly showed and the stylist insisted it was great! I was like, OK, whatever, I am not doing that again!
Anyway I decided to look for a home kit and properly a good Japanese hair dye kit to help me have my colour till I went back to see my cousin again.

I came across Liese Foam Hair Dye through YouTube. Reading about it, its claims to be very easy to use and have a range of colour which is very suitable for those wanting a Korean or Japanese girly look. The range of browns they have are really nice. I decided to give it a go by buying a kit. I went for the Milk Tea Brown.

I was very nervous and excited to use this kit. Opening the kit it came with everything you need:

• Instructions in Chinese, Japanese and English.
• A bottle of oil solition
• A little bottle of dye
• A foam pout for the oil solution
• A packet of hair treatment
• A pair of gloves.

This is what I did. I put on a towel around my shoulder, brushed through my hair and then put on the gloves. Next I opened the oil solution and dipped my finger in and put it on my hair line and around the ears. Then I tie up half of my hair horizontally. I then poured the contents of the dye bottle into the oil solution. The instructions states that you should not shake the bottle. After putting on the bottle top onto the oil solution, I gently tipped this bottle upside down 6 times. Then starting with my bottom half of my hair, I squeezed the contents out. It came out as a foam and there was a strong dye smell. I advise that you open a window or have some ventilation fan on. I did split my hair into two sections and made sure the foam covered the whole lot. It did take a while to build up the foam on the whole of my head. I used the whole bottle and the top of my head was totally white and covered.

One tip which my cousin taught me which is use cling film to wrapped around your head so the heat of your scalp helps the dye work even better. Anyway I ended up using a disposable shower cap which I had from my holidays and I took from hotels. I put this on my head and then used the towel clean my hairline.

The wait was around 30 minutes. Then I rinsed out the foam till the water became clear. Then using my usual colourant shampoo, I lathered my hair like normal and rinsed thoroughly. Then I opened the packet of treatment which was very hard looking cream, a bit like vaseline. Made sure that my hair had the treatment all rubbed through before another rinse. Then towel dry and blow dry. This is the results

Before...                                                                      After...

The colour is fantastic, it was not too light or dark, as you can see, my roots are well dyed and the texture after I blowed dyed my hair felt soft, moisturise and smooth. I am so happy at the results! Love this hair colour, it looks definitely like milk tea! Nice one! I think I will buy more and may venture into other tones.
