L'Oréal Paris Préférence Wild Ombré Shade 2 Brown to Blonde Review

Okay so I got this because I was a teeeeeny weeeeny bit jealous of all the awesome pics I saw popping up from girls who got to trial this, and I wanted it for myself; so I had to get it lol. I got Shade #2 on special at the supermarket for $15.50. Score!

The box itself is screams stylish and chic, yet wiiiiild. You get everything you need to ombrè your hair including detailed instructions and pictures. I opted to search youtube for a tutorial and found that much more helpful. It definitely set my mind at ease.

The gloves were probably my only disappointment with this kit. I have long fingers and the gloves were made for tiny hands. I actually ripped the gloves trying to put them on. I gave up and used a pair of disposable gloves of my own. The brush you get with the kit is what makes ombrè -ing your hair so easy; I literally put the crème on the brush and combed it through my ends.

My hair colour is dark brown. It is thin and fine, yet frizzy/wavy (unless straightened). It is also layered.

I found I had to leave the crème in my hair for a little longer than recommended in order to achieve the colour I was after (keep in mind my hair is DARK brown and this kit is intended for lighter brown hair).

The conditioner that came with the kit is a very generous 40ml. It has a nice soapy smell but I found once I washed it out of my hair, it left my hair feeling soft but smelling slightly of plastic (not sure if that was the conditioner of because of the bleach?)

The resulting colour of my ombrè hair is a light brown. And it looks brushed in and natural, not fake like in a straight line across the hair (if that makes sense?). I am also considering buying another kit and maybe adding more to get a lighter and streaky effect.

Overall my impression of this kit is TOTALLY AWESOME! For the price, the ease of use and the result, you really can’t go wrong! I love it and would totally recommend to anyone thinking of doing it.
