I bought myself some Directions lilac hair dye about almost 2 months ago as I wanted to give it a try as I had never done anything like that with my hair before and fancied having a go.
I planned for a while to ombre my hair first and then go lilac/purple straight after.
The process didn't take as long as the ombre dye. I used the left over comb that you get with the ombre hair kit to brush the lilac dye into my hair and then left it to soak in for 30 mins.
I must admit for the final result I was hoping for the color to turn out extremely in-your-face bright but as you can see it didn't go that way at all so I was a little disappointed but I tried it out. The upside to it all was that it doesn't take as long as ombre. At least now I know that I prefer the ombre dip dye so will probably go back to that later on in the week :)
