L'Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach, Ombre

Its okay

Buen decolorante

Llegó unos días antes, el producto está excelente, me dejó el cabello muy lindo y no lo maltrató, lo volvería a comprar sin duda

The product came in perfect condition, the application is easy, I just didn't like how my hair looked after I applied it, it was super hard

I have medium brown hair that has a red undertone, so I knew bleaching it with any bleach would make it brassy. The kit comes with a specific brush to use and it made it so easy! The brush makes the ombre have a subtle transition. I found that combing it with the bleach comb and then grabbing the very ends with my hands and working the product in only at the very tips helped with the smooth transition of colour - making the tips lightest and it made less of a mess because my hair was sort of stuck in one place with the paste. I left it in for 35 minutes, the directions said 25-45 minutes, but I didn't want to go too light, it's hard to tell how light it's getting because the paste is obviously white and it makes your hair seem lighter than it is

DO STRAND TEST FIRST. I have natural BLACK straight thick hair with slight wave. I'm almost retired, mixed race (latin, asian, white). This info might help others for hair type, porous & texture). I'm hoping the photo I uploaded is clear for viewers. I couldn't find too many that were clear enough for me. It might be time consuming & cumbersome but worth it to do strand tests. You can get a better idea of what works best for you. From right to left.. This is my natural black hair. Next is the results of 30 min. ... Next is for 45 minutes. The "45 min" strand was a thicker amount. Therefore after the results (rinsed & dried), I split it and used half (of the pretreated 45min strand) to treat with L'oreal B61 (downtown brown) multi-faceted shimmering for dark hair. (SIDE NOTE: I strand tested using this L'oreal B61 "alone" & it had ZERO effect on my hair..my hair remained black) But as you can see with the Far LEFT end strand test in the photo.. the results are the lightest. As for hair texture. There was only a slight difference in the semi-dry feel that comes with bleach treated feel. It graduate from not much of a difference to my natural hair softness to a slight a semi-soft. Not as bad as I expected. I'm thankful that the product is not as damaging to my hair as some bleaches are. It's still soft. I realize the box shows results of Medium Brown hair becoming blonde. But disappointing that it did not lighten it a little more with my natural black with mixed dark brown strands. In different lights the results of the 45 & 30 minute lean towards orange/rust shade. The 30 actually changes according to lighting to a sort of wine shade. The results of the two step treatment (some won't recommend) of this product, followed with Loreal Shimmer came out to be closer to my desired look. I hope my review helps. :-)
