Tesco Value Conditioner - AMAZING?!

Deep Conditioning, I love it and need it.

 With all the bleach, dye and other damaging stuff I do to my hair and my hair extensions, they need a lot of care. So when I was browsing the hair aisle in Tesco for a new deep conditioner, I spotted the Tesco Smooth Conditioner in Coconut and thought 'why not? Its only 88p' and I'm so glad I did!

I love this conditioner as it really conditions my dry ends and makes my hair so silky, soft and manageable. I have also noticed a reduced amount of frizz, as sometimes if I leave my extensions to dry without a serum or hair oil, the ends can go frizzy. 

Like I said it was only 88p, so I had nothing to lose when I first picked it up. The bottle is massive so it has lasted me a very long time. The scent is a very mild coconut, not in your face or anything.

I always put the conditioner on my dry hair, as if I'm doing a deep treatment as I think it just works better. I focus the conditioner on on the very ends of my extensions as they are the driest part of my hair and then comb through my hair with a wide tooth comb, making sure there are no tangles. I put them in a plastic bag and leave it to do the job.

I leave the conditioner on for up to 24 hours, however most of the time I leave it on for 8/10 hours as I am very impatient and want to wear my extensions!

I put my hair dying towel behind it, in case I get stains on the radiator

I then wash it out with icy cold water, then leave it to dry on my radiator.

The next day my hair is left soft and shiny. Perfect for 88p! 

You should all try this, or at least give cheaper brands ago.

Part 2; Dip Dying - Magenta Tips

Hey everyone! 

Today I'm going to be showing you how I dip-dye the ends of my extensions! The bleach from my hair journey part one, read here, made the ends coppery blonde/light brown colour. Now I did like it, but the ends looked frazzled and dry :( So I decided to dye them a deep pinky/purpley colour which I later found was called Magenta.

I chose two dyes as I wasn't certain on the colour, I bought Loreal Casting Creme Gloss in 316 Plum and Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL in L76 Ultra Violet. 

I ended up using the Schwarzkopf one, as I decided it was lighter and could be dyed over with the plum colour if I hated it! (Luckily I don't)

I mixed up the dye, then slathered it on to my hair, where the copper/blonde bit was. The dye took very quickly and one box was enough to do the full of the bleached bit.

Again put on tin foil to reduce mess.

I must warn you to wear gloves as it's pretty messy, but also the mix dyed my baby hand hairs when I stupidly took the gloves off, then decided to apply more dye. 

I let the dye stay on my hair for about 35 minutes, as it was clear the dye was done and every bit covered.

I didn't shampoo the ends, just washed them in ice cold water and liberally applied conditioner. I left the conditioner on for 5/6 hours, then washed off again with very cold water. 

And ta-da, this is what I ended up with!

I think the dip dying trend is so pretty, and I really love the way it ended up!

You cant really tell on this picture, the lighting was really dark :( 

I'm super happy with it! It was kind of cloudy when I took these pictures, but in real life it's

jet black with magenta tips.
