Bleach London I Saw Red Dye and Wash Out

I love Bleach London hair dyes and have previously experimented with Rose and Awkward Peach. However the second I got in from work on the last day before Christmas break I knew I wanted to go bold - bright red! This is Bleach London - I Saw Red which was £5 from Boots.

I have naturally blonde hair, with some bleach highlights on the top layers and this is how it turned out. It was so bright! It also gave a really even colour and I loved it. However as always, I got a bit panicky and couldn't find any other reviews which showed how it washed out (or even if it ever did!) so I decided to document how it washes out. 

Each time I washed it I used Head and Shoulders shampoo to lather, rinse and repeat. I also used Aussie 3 Minute Miracle to condition and in the later, blonder stages, I used John Frieda Tone Correcting Shampoo and conditioner to neutralise brassier tones. 

Wash 1

After wash one, the colour changed from bright red to bright pink instantly. I wasn't upset - I love pink and was delighted to get another colour from the dye. The colour disappeared from my natural hair colour more quickly than the highlights, giving a dark root look but it was ok! 

Wash 2

On wash 2, my hair was a Barbie pink, faded from the bright pink but still consistently pink all over!

Wash 3 

This was probably my favourite stage - my hair was almost a rose gold colour, with natural blondes coming through and highlights remaining a light pink. 

Wash 4 

After wash 4, there was more blonde peeking through. I felt this was quite a light candifloss shade, maybe what I would have achieved with the Rose colour.

Wash 5

On Christmas Day my hair was a slight pink colour which was really cute! I felt like a fairy! 

Wash 6 - I didn't manage to get a good photo but my hair was barely, instagram-filter pink at this stage. 

Wash 7

New Years Eve and my hair is basically back to normal. It has a slight bit of warmth in which isn't really noticeable and I think looks nice for winter. I'm sure it will neutralise with purple shampoo. You can't really see any pink in it at all anymore so I would say it's basically washed out!
