CALIFORNIANAS OMBRÉ HAIR

Damas y caballeros,

Hoy escribo sobre algo que me hice recientemente. No tengo muy claro si subir un vídeo a youtube o no... tal vez es miedo escénico. ja!



Hace mucho que voy informándome sobre cómo hacerme yo unas mechas californianas, o lo que viene siendo lo mismo, un degradado, y al final me armé de valor con una amiga y compramos potingues para un regimiento!

Bueno, no me matéis, pero no recuerdo exáctamente la marca de lo que utilizamos porque básicamente me dejé informar por la chica, que me aconsejaba l'Óreal pero al ser muy cara pedí una algo más baratita. No quería usar decolorante porque no queria castigar demasiado mi pelo, y al ser castaña tuve que decantarme por un tinte ultraaclarante.

TIP para CASTAÑAS: nuestro pelo tiende al naranja al no tener una base rubia, por lo que yo mezclé un tinte aclarante más amarillo con uno de rubios más cenizas.

Básicamente lo que se necesitan son:

- Fuerza de voluntad (jajeji)
- Tinte ultraaclarante (el mio tenía agua oxigenada y el tinte, ambos debían mezclarse)
- Pincel de mechas
- Toallas o ropas viejas
- Recipiente de plástico o cristal para mezclar

Entonces dividí mi cabello en tres capas, la de abajo de todo la teñí unas tres o cuatro veces, la del medio unas dos y las puntas tres, y la de arriba sólo le dí unos toques para que se difuminase bien con el resto y me hice algunos reflejos cerca del rostro.

Tardé bastante, pues después de cada tinte tienes que lavar y secar, y luego vuelta a empezar así que hay que armarse de paciencia!

Espero que os haya servido :) xox

Hey lovelies!

I want to talk about hair ombré, or californian highlits or whatever you call them. Actually I have been loving this hairstyle for a while, and finally I decided to do it. I now some of you don't like this hairstyle but... I do! :)

I didn't want to do it in the hairdresser's because here in Spain is sooo sooo expensive and if I don't like it I won't be able to change it... and I'll get mad and blah blah blah... Then, I took a friend of mine and she helped me during the process haha!

Just bought some dye super highlighting, one more yellowish and the other one more grey(ish?)... because I am brunette and my hair tends to go to more orange colours than blondes ones.

So, I mixed it up and started applying to my hair (I can't tell you the brand I used because I don't remember... so sorry for that. It was at first l'Óreal but then I changed to a cheapest one). I divided my hair into three sections, the lower one was dyed almost 3 or 4 times, the middle one 2 times and 3 times its tips, and for the more superficial section I just did some thin highlights near my face.

And that is it! :) Hope you find this helpful... you'll need some patience because it takes quite a long time... because you have to wash and blowdry your hair every time before you make an other dye.

About some random things.

Let's clarify something? I am not from the UK, I am not from the USA... so don't get mad at me if I say or write something kind of weird... I am trying to practice my English so... could you help me if I get something wrong? :)

Going back to the main theme... which is not that essential cause it is all about randomness :) So, if you want me to blab about something... just ask haha

I was wondering what to write about but... I am tired of all day... this is one of those days that are soooo long... but I wanted to start this as soon as possible because this is one of those things that if you don't jump into it, it won't ever happen, do you know what I mean?

One bad thing today: My useless behavior of let things overwhelm me too much
Two great things of today: He always make me smile... and laugh. (He is not that kind of HE you may think though! :) ) and... *thinking...* I started a new term?


Mmm... I guess that's it. xox
