*warning:IMAGE-HEAVY*
I'm dyeing my hair today with KAO's Liese Prettia! So will my sister. She will be using 'Royal Brown' (1st box) while I'll be using 'Natural Ash' (2nd box).
I thought I might as well do a review for especially for those who are using the products on virgin black hair. We only want subtle changes so we did not bleach our before coloring our hairs.
KAO's Liese Prettia is Japanese brand and it's new type of permanent hair coloring which uses foam instead of tradition liquid dye. The ones I bought are from ebay and they are the Japanese version so it's all in Japanese.
I seriously love their package. It's looks so pretty, but when thinking about it. The Caucasian models on normal hair dye packages are pretty too, but it's just that I'm not used to seeing Asian models on the hair dye products ^.^ Other than that, I also think that it looks so cute~ The roundish Japanese font, then the feminine font and flowers. Damn, Japan has everything T_T They just know how to make everything cute and pretty.
So I opened the box and it contains: the hair dye, bottle with the activator, pump for the bottle, hair conditioner and lastly the instructions.
In the instructions, I found a piece of paper with a circle on which you're supposed to use for the allergy-test (which we didn't do). You mix some from bottle 1 and 2 on the circle and then put on your skin. I think you have to do this 48 hours before coloring your hair.
On with the disposable gloves and we just followed the instructions- putting (1) into (2):
Super easy to do that and the smell from the bottle smells really good. Like sweet gummy-bears ^.^
The tricky part though is the inverting the bottle instead of shaking it. I think some make that mistake and they don't end up with no foam..
Finished both heads. Our hair was not nearly as foamy as the model's heheh, but when we massage it, it becomes a bit more foamy.. Also the smell is pretty strong lol not smelling like gummy-bears anymore ^.^
Then I waited for 50 minutes and washed mine off and Sandy waited for over an hour and washed hers off. The dye came with this incredibly lovely conditioner!
It smelled really good, but I don't think it was enough our hair.
When I had washed it, my hair was so light. I didn't really like it at first because I thought it became too light especially at my hair line and roots, but after drying it I thought it became less light and it's actually a very nice. My sister thinks it did a great job because my hair looks like the box, but when it dried it became darker (or just maybe me who's getting used to the color) and now it's like a medium ash brown.
My sisters hair also changed a bit of color, but it's really minimal so it's barely noticeable. We already have brown hair so I'm not sure if her's came out so much different. I'm thinking maybe a couple of washes and it will show up better. It's like her normal 'indoors' hair has become like her hair in the sun and now in the sun it's brighter.. lol not sure if that made sense..

We were so nervous when we started to invert the bottle and my sister didn't dare to squeeze the bottle because she thought it was a pump.
It came out all right though.

Before & After. Picture differ from real life, but you can see a difference! I can't get it 100 % right :/
FINAL THOUGHTS
Natural Ash: I'd describe my hair as medium ash brown. It's very much like on the box (not model's hair) but maybe darker. I'm satisfied. It takes a little time to get used to. In real life it looks very much like this, but in when it's dark I think it looks the same...... but it's obviously lighter lol
Royal Brown: It's very discreet and natural. Her hair is now lighter like when her hair is out in the sun, but it could be really nice if it was a bit lighter. It's not really noticeable because it looks natural, but she likes that. Compared to the box, it's also darker than the box, but her hair is indeed brown now.
Color? ✿✿✿/5 - We're satisfied, but it could be lighter so it's more alike the box. maybe best to strip some color to achieve it? It's like the dye is very translucent and doesn't really change your hair from like black → blonde. More like black, but your hair can look blond in some light and then normal in others?
Easy to use? ✿✿✿✿✿/5 - So easy! If you have long hair as me or thick hair like my sister then don't worry! One bottle is really enough for your hair. The foam makes it so easy to apply.
Price? ✿✿✿/5 - It's pricy, but compared to prices here in DK it's alright
Fun? ✿✿✿✿✿/5 - So much fun with the foam! lol
Overall: ✿✿✿✿/5!
Really fun and easy. The hair changes color as it should, but you can't expect a 100% same color. Also natural colors show up--- well very natural so it's not so noticeable, but the colors do show. I'd choose a lighter color when you want something specific. Also it didn't damage our hair and it works on virgin dark brown hair.
UPDATE - My sister's hair is really brown now ;) Mine is always still ash brown, but lighter than hers.
