Pastel hair craze

Firstly you need to bleach your hair, yes bleach on the scalp all over to achieve the clean white fresh look needed to achieve an even pastel shade.

if you have high-lights the pastel shades will not take to the hair on darker areas so you will be left with a striped effect.

This bleach is easy to use and is only £7! Follow instructions and don't be tempted to leave it in longer than the recommendaed time. 

Remember it's all in the preparation, so if you don't have a bright clean white/blonde base the pastel shades you apply over the top will look dirty and dull.

Now shampoo with bleach London silver shampoo (follow with silver conditioner to remove yellow tones if you are not directly applying a pastel shade). £5 each.

Now choose your favourite colour, mine is the rose £5.

this gives a brighter shade of pastel pink to start and after a couple of washes fades too a marshmallow pink tone which looks soft and randomly natural! 

These only need to be applied to towel dried hair for 15mins and leave your hair silky soft so if colour fades too quickly as it does on my hair you don't have too much of a chore to re-apply weekly. There's so many colours to chose from you could have a new one every week! 

 I tried this colour too but it was very subtle and faded to a light blue Hue, applying the rose as a corrector turned the blue a soft lilac which looked great, don't be afraid to mix and experiment as they will wash out. All bleach London products are available at boots from just £5, they have 3 for 2 offer on at the moment too.

This is a new make available in super drug, the pasteliser and colour are both £6.99 each and will last quiet a few applications as you only need 1 part colour to 20 parts pastiliser, the colour came out a light purple and is great you can adjust colour mix to exact shade you want, but again on my hair it faded to a blue after just 2washes.

This is definitely a high maintenance look so maybe best for nights out or festival season.
