L38 Radient Red Review

So...

I dyed my hair!

I sort of miss my silver hair... but ehh at the same time was desperate to be a red head because they look sooooooo cute >_<

Originally I was going to avoid using box dyes but was at my budget so what the hell.

I have been red before when I was around 14. However, because I had no clue how to hair care back then, my one-day-red hair would turn brown :|

So I prepared myself with colour care shampoos (non sulphate) and a toner for when it's washed out.

The product I used was Schwarzkopf LIVE Color XXL Luminace L38 Radiant Red:

The product itself claims to lighten dark hair into the desired hair colour....

Which is bullshit. 

You want bright hair? Gonna need to lighten that shizz.

Before I dyed my hair, I prelightened my hair (avoiding the silver hair) with 75ml of 30 vol Peroxide + 25g of Blue Powder Bleach. After 30 mins, my hair turned orange.

Applied the dye onto my hair, left it on for 30mins and here are the results:

 A reminder to never ever use their provided conditoner. Turned my hair.... into a crusty feel? Obvs will revert back to my usual conditoner.

It's not clear in the photos but the back of my hair is more of a blood red compared to the front, the dye turned my silver hair into a more pink hue compared to the rest?

I was hopeing to have a Mikoshiba hair colour but instead I ended up with a Matsuoka?

The Mikoshiba

The Matsuoka

Although I'm not really complaining... I almost like this mistake LOL.

Overall vedict:

Overall application was easy. However, if used on bleach hair (orange), it'll give off a pink hue. Hardly any ... like... blood red?

I suggest you all check out Nicoletta's review and see what you think?

Although next time, I think I'll try their other products (like scandalous scarlet or real red) if I want to stay red.. or go for a more deeper. IDK we'll see.

P.S I purchased SuperDrug's Colour Effects 6:45 Burgundy Red to apply to my hair for when the colour fades, I'll review in a few weeks time.
