It's happening! Lilac/Silver Hair!

So I've been building up to this moment for a few months now!! And finally it's time!! lilac hairrrr!

So this is the dye I've mixed myself. It includes Directions Lilac, and a load of cheap conditioner!

Next week I'll put up directions how to get it to this colour, and include photos of my 'journey' (if you want to call it that) to lilac/silver hair. When I was researching how to get it this colour I found there was lots of information, but no pictures. Lot of websites were telling you to have "pale yellow hair before applying toner "... Ummm, how pale is pale exactly!? So I took photos during and after every dye I applied!

Fingers crossed it helps people who are wanting to achieve that hair colour!

For people who are wanting to know my hair colour before I began to try get it lilac/silver..
I had two colours in my hair. Medium colour blonde, and black.  The black took up a big chunk of my hair though, so It has taken a few good bleachings to remove it and the ginger tones from my hair!

My Hair Saviors!

Over the last 2 months i've been gradually making my hair a pale pale pale pale pale silver/lilac colour! So as you can imagine, a lot of bleach and dying has been involved! My hair was in amazing condition before this all began, so i've tried SO hard to keep that, which meant spending like £30/£40 on hair care products.

I came across 2 products which I have been lurrrving.

Let me introduce them to you...

This is the L'Oreal Elvive Damage Care Repair Shampoo! I stumbled across this in Boots when searching for a repair shampoo! It comes obviously with a million other products, and they all say the usual - " use this shampoo with the damage care condition "... I don't do this at all. But it really has been saving my hair! Before I was my hair I can feel how dry it is due to the bleach i've used, and after i feel how soft it feels. It is designed to target the damaged areas and fill in the gaps and seal them. After using this, my hair feels sooooooooooooooo soft and once i've dried it, it is super shiny! and not greasy shiny like some shampoo makes you have, it gives you genuine shine! WAHOO!
You can pick this up in the UK at places like Boots, Superdrug, Tesco etc. It is roughly £4.00, so not expensive at all!

Introducing my second savior! Boots Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Mask!
So when I was buying hair dye, I spotted this! I had barely any money left at the time, and as this is only £1.99, I thought BARGAIN i'll get that now. I wasn't expecting much from it as it was so cheap, I just bought it because I figured it would help a little. Turned out to help a lot. You leave it in for 5 minutes, and after that when washing it out, you can really feel the difference. Also when i style my hair after using this, it styles so much easier 'cause of how smooth it makes my hair! For £1.99 not only do you get a great product, you get a sh*t load of it as well! the tub is pretty big! and you only use a little each time so it last foreverrrr and everrrr!   You can obviously only get this from Boots. I'll put the link below!   One thing I disliked about it though was the scent. It lied!!! It does not smell like coconut or almond. I can't even tell you what it smells like, because I have no idea. But it ain't coconut or almond! But other than that, it is super duper!
