It’s been years since i’ve used DIY hair dyes. After few failed attempts at dying my hair years ago i’ve resign to having it done at the hair salon instead. I remember feeling so miserable after washing off the DIY dyes and saw that the color was all patchy and my hair became so brittle and dry afterwards.

But alas we all know dying hair at the hair salon could cost a bomb. So in conjunction of the CNY celebration this year i had decided to try Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color instead. Unfortunately i forgot to take any photos of the hair color or even my hair (before or after). So, i’ll just borrow some photos from other blogs.

Anyways, it’s a Japanese brand and unlike the conventional hair dye on the shelves, you do not need to tediously comb in the color onto your hair. Instead, with Liese it’s just like shampooing the hair.

The box of hair color comes with 2 solutions which you need to combine in a special bottle. Once you gently mix the 2 solution, all you need to do is to squeeze the middle of the bottle and foams will come out from the nozzle.

Massage the foam onto your dry (unwashed) hair just like what you do when you shampoo your hair. Make sure every inch of the hair is covered and leave it for 20-30mins. Rinse it thoroughly and shampoo the hair like usual. Lastly just apply the leave-on conditioner which is also provided in the box.

I love the fact that it’s easy to apply even by your own. The hair color doesn’t smell as pungent as conventional hair color so it’s another brownie point from me. The hair color really does cover the hair evenly without being patchy. Plus my hair does not seem too dry after using it which is super great!

The result is exactly as shown on the box. Unfortunately it tends to fade or get brighter after a few wash but i’m ok with that since i choose Dark Chocolate which is a tad too dark at first.
