New Hair Colour - Palty Honey Macaron

I've been dying to use Japanese hair dye Palty for a long time. Palty is a hair dye especially made for dark haired girlies like myself. It allows you to lighten your hair without the need for pre bleaching. So i ordered it from Ebay and it arrved just 5 days after i ordered it, all the way from Hong Kong. Speedy!

I opted for this shade - Honey Macaron

Here is what came in the pack:

This is what my hair colour looked like before dyeing!

Excuse my messy hair!

And here is the finished result once it's been dried and straightened.

I really loved using the Palty hair dye. I love the resulting shade and managed to go quite a few shades lighter without any harm to my hair. If anything my hair feels softer and more manageable since I dyed it. It's very easy to use and the foam makes application less messy as it doesn't drip. I also loved the inclusion of the cup and the paddle. I wish western hair bleach would use these instead of the cheap, flimsy mixing trays and tiny mixing tools that are so often included. All in all i'm really pleased with Palty hair dyes and I will definitely be using them again. Although a word of warning - Japanese women tend to have quite thick hair so if your hair is thin proceed with caution!

I've yet to discover a hair dye in the UK that will significantly lighten my hair without the need for pre-bleaching. Once again the Asian beauty brands are streets ahead of western brands. It's not surprising that I'm such a fan of Korean and Japanese beauty brands!
