Ombré

Anyhow, this week is the long awaited recess week (although we all know recess week isn't quite all play and no work). I've really got to work on my french! We had midterms on thursday and there was this portion where we're required to create a dialogue between two people. My vocabulary was so pathetic I ended up writing "Visite mon maison s'il vous plait! Nous can regarder la télévision together (Please visit my house! We can watch tv together)" hahahaha omg prof is going to have a heart attack reading my paper. It actually is incredibly difficult learning a language from scratch.

I've been actively tweeting about this but I'd do it here again anyway. I've finally managed to ombré my hair! I saw it a really long time ago online and thought it was so pretty but only really wanted to do it on myself after I saw it on her.



Her blog is a gem, and she dresses very well. Most of her posts are OOTDs and I can spend hours on her blog. Damn, she even got the same river island clutch I was eyeing from asos. I like her ombre hair the most, amongst other bloggers like rumi neely or even alexa chung.


Of course I had my fair share of apprehension since bleaching was involved and I was afraid I'd fry my hair.  Finding suitable products was another issue since most of the tutorials online were done in the US and they use blond highlighting kits which you can't find here.

I did it the first time using Palty but it didn't work out. Didn't work out as in I didn't get the ombre effect but it definitely fried my hair! My ends were drier than before but luckily for me I went to get a haircut to get some layers in my hair and so some of the ends were snipped off.

I let the hair rest for about a week before I tried a second time with another kit this time from Gatsby. I had to do it in two separate rounds - the first time putting the dye relatively high, washing it off and then drying it, and doing it a second time, this time focusing on only the part which I wanted it to be lightest.

Et voilà! It isn't as obvious as say, Rumi's (her lightest is blond) cause my lightest is only a light golden brown, but I think its the lightest my hair can go and it has a subtle ombré effect, which is great. The best part? Not a lot of people, especially in sg, have ombréd hair so its something different! It was difficult to capture the colors on camera but my friend wanted to see it so here goes -


Its actually a really fun and easy process cause all you need to do is bleach your ends! Beats dyeing the whole head, imo. My mum said it the light part is too light and she doesn't like it but heck, I've gotten more compliments from my friends who liked it. Side effects wise the drying wasn't actually that horrible, since I put effort into moisturizing products for dry hair (and my hair has this amazing ability to still look glossy when its actually really dry). Definitely wasn't as bad as what I feared, and I really like the gradation! Happy me : >

Love her earrings in this and her hair and her dress/top, I can't tell. She looks a little like blake lively with short hair, no? So damn gorgeous x
