The instructions were clear and ease to understand.
The gloves were thick and sturdy which I liked as I have never used bleach before and was happy to know that the gloves wouldn't break and get bleach on my hands.
The process of putting together the ingredients was easy but the instructions stated that you shouldn't shake the application bottle too long as it may burst which had me worried as the instructions didn't actually state for how long to shake/rotate the bottle. I rotated and shook the bottle vigorously for only 30 seconds then unscrewed the lid straight away as per instructions.
Application of this product to my hair was very easy and non messy. The application brush was super easy to use and it didn't spill. My Hair didn't lighten as much as I thought it would have after the stated 25 minutes so I applied more and wrapped it in tin foil as I had been told that wrapping it in tin foil would add heat to the bleach which in turn helps to activate the bleach faster. The smell wasn't too over powering but I did get a few potent whiffs that made my eyes tear up so I made sure I had the windows open. I waited a further 15 minutes as the instructions stated to not leave the product in for more than 45 minutes and then washed it out.
the small bottle of shampoo/conditioner that came with it smelt delicious. I only needed a small amount therefore the bottle may last for up to three applications of washing. My hair actually felt very coarse and knotty afterwards so I ended up using some of my own conditioner as well. The bleach was easy to was out though and the next day my hair was very soft and shiny.
AFTERTHOUGHTS:My hair didn't lighten as much as I was hoping but I am defiantly NOT disappointed though, I love the new shades throughout my hair and am actually happy that it didn't turn blonde which I think had a lot to do with the fact that I have dyed my hair red for many years now so my Ombre colour has actually turned into a pinky/orange with tiny blonde streaks. I have received loads of positive comments on my hair and will and have recommended this product.
I was lucky to be chosen to review L'Oreal's wild ombré hair colour. I was excited to review this product as I miss my ombré style I had last year and wanted it back! I read the instructions on how to apply as it comes with a little brush which you use to brush the bleach through. I mixed the product and proceeded with excitement. At the start I found it weird/hard to use the brush especially at the back, my hair is quite thick and wavy so hard to run the brush through without my hair knotting and breaking. But I carried on using it as per instructions. 20mins later screw the brush and started to apply with my hands, running it threw my hair from around the ear down especially at the ends. It says to leave in for 25-45mins I left it in for 2 hours hoping for a dramatic results but no… I washed it out and blowdried my hair only to see the colour difference was maybe 2 shades lighter if that, What a let down. But there were some good points about this product, I found that the bleach didn't have a strong chemical smell like usual bleach kits (hence the lack of colour difference I guess) also after washing my lightened hair felt really soft and nice. So the results weren't sooo bad that I have to run to the supermarket for a quick box dye fix before the morning but I'll be surprised if someone notices that my hair has been lightened.
Tips: If you have curly or wavy hair straighten it first before applying, that brush will cause you trouble… or just risk it and don't use it at all.
