Ombre is so global that I thought of following the trend. Although I use to tie my hair up, I feel like I want to give it a try. But since I'm a mum of a clingy adorable boy, I can't go to a salon to get it done.
Can you imagine a mama breastfeeding in a salon while she's getting her ombre hair?? a baby crying because he can't move that much as he needs to sit down with mama? Destroying other customer's "pamper day"? I'm pretty sure I'll get nagged by auntie's for doing that..naaah.. bad idea!
So... I decided to do it at home! yes! DIY
I did my homework,watch video tutorials on youtube,read blog posts and search for cheap good brands of hair dye. I found a bleach powder for hair at 3.90 sgd at a shop near my block. my hair color before I use the bleach powder is chestnut brown. After bleaching, it turn out like this...

Since I want an ombre, I just dye half of my hair ends. And looked like this.
I just let the dye stayed on my hair for 20mins since I'm afraid it damage my hair. Its ok but not satisfied with the result. So... after a week, I tried another one, this time just a regular cheap dye,(no bleach,no peroxide).
I got it for 4sgd too. I was like, if you go to the salon and dye your hair, It'll be damaged, If you do it at home, it'll be damaged too. So why not do it the cheap way?? Less heart ache for you money loss...and/or hair loss. lol
So yeah, waited a week and try it again. Steps are in the packaging. Like all the others...blah..blah..blah..
I tried it and leave on mh hair for 3pmins this time. And these are the results.
