Japanese Hair Dye Review: Freshlight "Mirror Ash"

Hey guys!

I've decided to dye my bleached hair at home because I learned that bleaching your hair puts little "holes" in your hair, making it prone to breakage and being brittle, and that dying it can "fill" those holes in so I've decided to give that a go! My hair color was ridiculous anyway. I LOOKED LIKE A CLOWN!

So, instructions were pretty basic and simple.Total application time was about 40 minutes give or take (I left it in a few minutes longer to make sure I got the color all the way in). I had my mom help me out!

With hair dye 

After

I give this product a 9 out of 10. The smell wasn't bad at all and in fact, I liked it. It didn't feel like it was doing any damage to my hair and it actually made it really soft and shiny. The only thing I wasn't expecting was that it bleached my roots (the black) part of my hair and it became like a weird red color. It's not that noticeable so it isn't so bad, but I'm now wondering if I should do anything about that. Probably not? But I'm REALLY satisfied with the rest of my hair. It's this strange blonde-but-not-really color with a hint of..green? It's like a dirty blonde with a slight green tint. I guess that's what ash is? Not sure what the mirror in "mirror ash" is supposed to mean though. But this is my new favorite hair color, but as I'm trying to keep my hair healthy hopefully it doesn't fade as fast. I wash my hair once a week so hopefully that'll help keep the color long. Does anyone know another way to keep hair color from fading fast? Would love to hear from you guys.

Thanks for reading!
