Blonde

My purple-silver hair doesn't last really long now it fades into blonde. Thinking of re-coloring my hair soon but I have to save my money first hahaha.

Trip to Bandung

I had a chance to visit Bandung last week (1st December). This is a vacation with my co-workers and all staf of my office too. We visited Ciater, De Ranch and Floating Market. I really want to go to Floating Market and De Ranch when I was college student but never be happened, now I finally have the opportunity to come here, Alhamdulillah :)

Had so much fun in Bandung before I have to deal with noryoku shiken (noken) or Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) hahaha. I stay in Bandung for about 4 days, the test was held on 4th December and I still have spare a time before that so I can hang out with my friends. Actually the vacation only held for one day but I decided to stay in my friend's place in Bandung until the test day. I'm glad can meet so many peoples I know from my university when the test was held.

See you again Bandung!

Dark Purple to Silver Brown (?)

It's review time! hehe.

I change my hair color hehehe. Its been several days already since I coloring my hair. I love my new hair color! Many people said that my hair color's nice too and fit with skin tone, yay Alhamdulillah haha, because actually there is a story behind my hair coloring hahaha.

Actually I want to change my hair color since couple months ago and after saving money for a long time finally I can bought the hair dye, etc. At first I want to buy Pravana hair color but ended up bought another brand. Its a local brand hair color and after did a research I decide to bought it (there is a promo too when I bought the hair color so lucky me! haha). Rambut Rainbow is the brand of the hair color I bought, you can check their IG. I want purple (lavender-ish) hair, so my choice is between Harley Series lavender or IWT Amethyst but I decide to bought the amethyst one. It looks nice and I think it fit with my skin tone too. It requires belaching level 10 so I have to bleach my hair of course.

First bleaching

I've been coloring my hair before when I was in college (it's been 2 years already since I coloring my hair). The last time I coloring my hair blue (ombre) and its makes hair damaged because I use cheap bleaching product. So, after that time I don't want to damaged my hair anymore with cheap product. I bought the hair color / hair dye along with bleaching set too (it's a package including hair dye, bleaching, hair elixir to prevent damage hair from bleaching process, silver shield shampoo and conditioner, brush for hair coloring, plastic bowl and plastic gloves). My friend help me did a bleaching process (thanks Dinda! :D), my first bleaching was on 19 November, it turns out orange and actually I'm not being surprised by that because it's natural after first bleaching from black hair. But I'm little worried about my parents if they see my bleaching hair and as I expected... my father's really shock (lebay haha) and always said my hair is strange. Even he called me "Belanda mabok" too -___-" everyone laughs after that -__-" (Ok, whatever you say dad..).

All in one package

This is my hair after first bleaching process:

Left: no flash, Right: with flash. Still have black hair in some part (lil bit fail)

Second Bleaching

If you have black hair and want to bleach your hair into level 10, you have to bleach it about 2/3 times but you can't bleach your hair 2/3 times a day, it will makes your hair really damaged so I'm waiting and did a second bleaching process on 25 November. Dinda can't help me did a second belaching (she have to go to Jogja) so I ask my mom hahaha thanks mom! It lil bit failed too because some part still black or just turn brown, but it's okay, it is a consequence you have to take if you bleach your hair at home hahaha. I'm using Hair Elixir Vanilla Dream from Rambut Rainbow before bleaching process and my hair is still healthy after the process! First bleaching my hair is lil bit rigid but after wash my hair using Silver Shampoo and Silver Conditioner from Rambut Rainbow my hair back to soft hair again. It's a really good product!

Second bleaching, the color is not much different from the first bleaching haha

Hair Coloring

I apply the hair dye the day after my second bleaching process. I did it by myself and of course it's uneven haha. The color turn into dark brown and kind of ash, and my back hair is still yellow *huft*. Then I apply the hair dye again for the second time and now it turn out dark purple and silver-ish hair. It's not amethyst at all but I still love it! xDD

First attempt:

Second attempt:

After a week my hair color change into light brown and silver (maybe because I use Silver Shield Shampoo and conditioner?) but I still love it hehe. Everyone love it and said that the color suits me :D

-For the bleaching product I give 4 out of 5 stars, it's nice but still makes my hair damaged lil bit (rigid hair).

-Hair Elixir 5 out of 5 stars, it is really a nice product! Prevent your hair from damaged!

-Silver Hair Shampoo and conditioner 5 out of 5 stars, It is makes your hair really soooffftt and have a nice smell. I love how this shampoo and conditioner suitable for my hair beacuse not all type / brand of shampoo suitable for me, sometimes it can makes my hair full of dandruff but this one is not :)

-Hair dye 4 out of 5, its have a nice smell and makes your hair so soft after wash it but yea, since the color did not turn out as I wanted I give it 4 stars. I know its because I'm not bleach my hair properly tho' hehe. The color change so fast after about a week too, I don't know if its because I'm using Silver shield shampoo or anything. So, yea 4 out of 5 stars.

After all I think Rambut Rainbow product is a nice product. You must try! :D

See you again!
