Ten months after giving birth, I barely have any time for pampering myself. As you csn see on the picture below, my hair is already up to my waist (and that photo was from a few months back) and half of my hair is now black (which looks like "I-don't-have-time" to fix my hair or put on makeup or basically do anything). Honestly, exclusively breastfeeding, working at home, and taking care of chores is hardwork (however, my husband thinks otherwise).
So, I read a lot of blogs and watched a couple of videos in Youtube on how to color my own hair. Being a parent changes your life a lot. I've became super kuripot especially when I'm gonna spend the money in me. I'd rather spend it for my sweetie pie. Back to topic, I have very thin hair so even if I have very long hair, I didn't use as much hair coloring cream as I thought. Here is what I bought. (All products were purchased by me with my own money. This is not some endorsement review. All that I write here are my own opinion).
Here is what I did:
1. Comb your hair so it doesn't have any tangles. Don't shampoo your hair before dying it because it can remove the hair's natural oil and can leave it very dry after coloring it.
2. Divide your hair into 4 sections if you have thin hair like mine, or more, depending on the thickness of your hair. Clip all but one of the hair sections.
3. Start with coloring the first section (the one that you didn't clip) and work until you finish coloring all of it. I have short arms so I asked my husband to color the back part. Ask help if you need to.
4. Cover hair with a shower cap and leave it on as per the package instructions.
5. Wash it until water runs clear and condition, condition, condition your hair because it can dry your hair out.
Then, voila, new hair without spending thousands of pesos.
By the way ladies, when I bought the hair dyes from HBC, the cashier told me that they can color my hair for me since I went over Php 300.00. I, however, wasn't able to because the appointment was not til tomorrow noon and I have to go to a wedding. This is how my hair looks like now. (used Chestnut Brown by the way)
