Okay so, I had been wanting to try out the Ombre hair for a few months now but since last year I made the brilliant decision to dye my hair off-black, every time I would go to a hair salon to ask about it they look at me like I'm crazy and say my hair won't get any lighter PERIOD! My response to that was always "Well, I don't want it that much lighter than my hair color anyway, can't we just try it out." NO? Really? Okay, bye!
I know, I know, it's their job to tell me that, and I know I'm not a hair dresser and I know NOTHING about hair coloring, but really, no one can try it and see how it goes? I know the terms and I'm not the type of person that would refuse to pay for a service I already received.
Anyhow, I decided I'm going to do it myself. - Yeah!
With everything in mind and like I said I didn't know anything about hair bleaching/coloring I went into a research frenzy. I wanted to find out what I needed to do, what products to use, what brand was best to try, what's more accessible, what store to go to, should I order it online, what's the actual process like, etc. I turned to YouTube and watched at least 50 videos about hair bleaching, and Ombre hair. They were some great ones I must add! While I was researching all that I heard about products called color correctors which could basically remove permanent dye from your hair in order to make it easier to bleach it. I came across one from Sally's Beauty Supple store, which was the easiest since I have a Sally's in my area.
This is the product I used
Ion Color Brilliance Color Corrector
The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell, it wasn't that bad right out of the box, however, once I mixed the two products together and let it sit a few minutes it smelled HORRIBLE!
Like I said, I let it sit for a few minutes while I got some other stuff done around the house and when I came back to my room I noticed that something smelled like rotten eggs. As I sniffed around to see where the rotten smell was coming from I noticed that it was this color corrector. Even after debating to put that in my hair for a few minutes I decided that because of the strength of the smell that it would probably take a few washes to get that out of my hair I dumped it in a trash bag and took it to the trash can outside immediately.
Because of this I'm not able to fully review this product. However, if after this warning you are braver than I am and do decide to try out this product please let me know what you think and send me a comment.
Thanks!
