Beautylabo Hair Color

Hello everyone!!

Kawaii Beauty Japan has recently started a new campaign with Hoyu. This time it's beautylabo, a hair color that comes in a variety made to be used at home.

-*-

I'm choosing the Natural Blonde.

This is the lightest shade of them all.

-*-




If you have dark hair, the blonde shade will appear minimal, and when you have light hair the blonde color with become the lightest. Same goes if you already bleach the hair prior coloring using Beautylabo.

-*-

All the details are given on the box, in front, behind and inside there's also a pamphlet.

-*-

Read everything thoroughly and it is important to do the allergy test 48 hours before coloring your hair. A serious allergic reaction can be avoided by a simple allergy test.

-*-

After making sure everything is well, no signs of allergy, not in menstrual period for women (since it does trigger sensitivity), and generally well or in healthy condition.

For me, I love to pamper my hair at least a week or two before coloring. Like having a regular hair mask, serums and put plenty of hair nourishment.

I never wash my hair before coloring around 1-2 days as well to help protecting the hair and scalp using 'natural' oil.

-*-



The package given by Beautylabo is pretty basic. A pair of plastic glove, cream colorant, cream developer and instruction. That's it.

-*-

The instruction and details are pretty clear, this is a simple product to be used by yourselves or with a friend's help.

-*-

Mixed the cream colorant on the sachet with the one in the bottle.

Shake vigorously up and down to make sure that everything is mixed well.

-*-

And then put the pointy lid, replacing the original cap after being mixed. This pointy tip helps us to apply directly from the bottle to the hair.

-*-

I'm doing things a bit different this time. Since I want a gradation of blondness. So I start from 1/5 of the ends of my hair. Divide them by sections and apply the hair colorant bit by bit. Wrapped them in a separate aluminum foil and wait around 15 minutes.

-*-



Opened the foil and move them upwards to around 1/3 of the hair and apply the hair colorant again. Close it again and wait another 15 minutes.

Finally open them and apply the rest until around 1/2 of the hair length from the end and wait for another 15 minutes and then rinse everything off.

-*-

How do I rinse it off, open the foils, add a bit of water and lather it a bit on the dyed parts. When they are loose enough, rinse everything thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Dry as usual.

-*-

At first, the lightness seems still dark, but on the next day, the lightness are seen better. Perhaps the 'product' still work inside the hair

-*-

Look at the differences between these images. The ends does appear lighter, it's not as bright as I want it too, but the result is more visible outdoor.

-*-

Since the hair colorant only provide the basic and not after coloring care or pre coloring treatment like some hair coloring products I know, I need to add a mask afterwards for added shine and protection.

The colorant itself does cause a bit of dryness and damage to the hair, it's like most hair colorant thou' so do take care the hair after hair coloring using the proper products for colored hair such as shampoo, conditioner and mask.

-*-

Thank you so much Kawaii Beauty Japan and Beautylabo for the product.
