If you know me well enough (or if you’re taller than me, for that matter), you’d probably discover that I’ve got grey hair. It’s hereditary unfortunately and I’ve had them since secondary school. I think it was triggered by stress?

Anyway, since I discovered hair colouring eons ago, I’ve alternated between going to the hair salon, home hair colouring kits and home salons. I’ve tried a whole range of services and yet failed to find the most cost-efficient and effective way of getting rid of my greys.

Salon wise, I’ve got to say that Shunji Matsuo at Heeren does a fantastic job. Except, the toll on my wallet ends up in hundreds! ^^;

I don’t do well with most hair colouring kits because it doesn’t seem to get everywhere and I’d inadvertently miss a patch (thankfully, not at the top of my head). Until I tried this product. Behold, the miraculous Japanese innovation: Liese Bubble Hair Colour.

L looks mighty pleased to meet Sweet Pink. ^^;

I bought two colours, Classic Chocolat and Sweet Pink. The former, as the box clearly prints at the bottom, for covering grey and the latter for a funkier hair colour. How did I know I could successfully do this? Well, my stylist at Shunji Matsuo said that if I wanted a light hair colour, I’d have to cover grey first. So I realized doing two rounds of hair colouring was possible.

Back of the box with clear instructions.

What’s in the box. I do apologise for the wrinkly bed sheet backdrop. >_<

Each box comes with the hair colour concentrate, developer, nozzle, gloves and a leave-in conditioner. And tons of instructions.

Putting on the gloves. Don’t want to get my hands stained brown!

Pour colour concentrate into the developer bottle.

Follow the instructions. Just tilt left and right to mix. You don’t have to shake it vigorously at all.

Mixes just fine. This is probably due to the colour concentrate being in a smooth liquid form, unlike the others in the market which come in viscous creams.

Attach the nozzle. Stupid me tried to pump the nozzle. ^^;

Just squeeze the bottle to dispense the foam. It doesn’t look like it’s coloured right now, but give it some time. As you apply it, the foam begins to change colour. Eventually, it’ll look like what  you expect it to.

At this stage, I went to the loo and slopped it on. I tried to be as haphazard as possible (and I usually am when doing this). It’s just so difficult to get it wrong. That small bottle dispensed enough for my whole head of hair and I have very thick hair too. After I got it on as evenly as could and covered as much ground as possible, I massaged the foam into my hair. That made the foam thicker. After I was done, I twirled my hair and left it on my head.

No drips at all! And hair stayed up without clips! It’s magic foam!

After that, just wash it off, shampoo and condition as usual. Towel dry your hair and then add the leave-in conditioner. It works wonders on your hair, so don’t omit this step!

I was supposed to wait two weeks until the next colour (as I was told by others). But…

I just had to do it.

I don’t particularly enjoy having chocolate hair. The sweet pink turned out more brown than pink, although under sunlight there were pinkish undertones. Overall, a nice colour.

I might go even lighter next! And soon! Because now, I can afford it. The total cost was less than S$40. That’s like an eighth of what it would cost in a salon. And it was so easy!

Try it yourself and see.
