Red Hair Update… Directions Pillarbox Red

After dyeing my sisters hair less than a week ago she wasn't happy with the colour and that it wasn't 'red' enough. Read the post here…

Instead of using another permanent hair dye on top of her current hair dye, I decided to use a semi permanent hair colour from Directions in the colour Pillarbox Red.

As you can see from the picture it is super bright and very red. 

Even once I mixed it with conditioner, the colour remained the same intensity. I used an equal amount of the hair dye with an equal amount of white conditioner. 

She applied the whole amount to her hair and left it on for 2 hours.

Garnier Olia Deep Red - Review + Before & After...

A couple of weeks ago my sister decided to dye her hair red, we went to superdrug looking out for any offers, as my sister has incredibly thick hair which requires 2-3 boxes of dye. 

Being a reasonably new dye she bought Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Colour in Deep Red 4.6. 

Inside the box there is, instructions, gloves, an applicator bottle, cream developer, cream colourant and silk & shine conditioner.

I put on the gloves and mixed the cream developer and colourant together. I did notice that there was no chemical smell that there usually is with hair dye and it actually smelt quite pleasant. While applying it through her hair I found that it was quite hard to spread as the consistency is quite thick. 

She left it in her hair for 30minutes and rinsed it out using the conditioner.

About a month later it is still as vibrant as when it was first coloured and hasn't faded at all.
