Years ago I dyed my hair with box dye, once I started going to the salon I never stopped. Well Covid happened and I went to Sally’s and did it myself. I remember my friend using this on my hair (she’s a stylist) when she would coke to my house during the pandemic

Oh my god. Wella Koleston where have you been all my life?! I tend to stick to things from Shopper's but being the type of girl who digs things out from the depths of the Internet, I came across the Koleston line out of a blog review. I was tempted to try it out but of course with it being available only to professionals I went on eBay and decided on 12/81 aka special blond pearl. I first bleached my growth and then mixed this with 20 developer and a cup of water to dilute the dye as it lifts, and I no longer wanted a lift but just color deposit. After about 15 minutes I washed it off and I was left with the most beautiful shade of ash blonde I had yet seen. Not only that, but the color adds shine to the hair giving it an amazing look that screams out "touch me!"
