New Curly Long Gyaru-Style Wig! :3

I got my wig today! Well, haha, it was meant to be blonde but I was slightly hoping it was darker anyway cause I haven't seen myself with dark hair for years (^ω^)
It is made from a Japanese silk-fibre called kanekalon and feels just like real hair but softer!
The great thing about wigs made from kanekalon is that they can be straightened and styled with ease, they are really good for cosplays and cheaper than genuine-hair wigs. Also they don't have much of a fake-hair shine! Many people always think my wigs are my real hair. Even people who see me most often! (≧∇≦)
I might cut a fringe into it, though I'm a bit scared to!! Practice makes perfect I guess. And considering this was under £10.. ψ(`∇´)ψ
I will take more photos when My lashes and other bits arrive.
I would definately say it was worth its price >w<
 It's great for Lolita or Gyaru styles.
Purchased from eBay if you were wondering! :3

Hair Repair Advice for Heat-Damaged/Bleached Hair.

I sometimes use the John Frieda Sheer Blonde for Platinum hair range to care for my hair when it is damaged! 
 or regularly;
Tressemme thermal recovery I find works wonders for your hair - also lasts a very long time! Their Keratin smooth range is pretty good too. Though my hairdresser-friend said Tressemme contains silicone & that's why it really makes your hair silky :o I'm not really bothered about that.. If you are, salon products are recommendable. Or from a supplier. Expensive but if you don't mind forking out for your hair there's no problem! My guides based on affordable products which work for me!
If you don't like to spend too much on shampoos this is also not bad
schwarzkopf gliss shampoo range is alright! I have 5 bottles. lol
If your hair is like staw or a bit cheesestringy, I would recommend using mayonaisse on your hair! It has worked magic on my hair :D & yes, that's REAL mayonaisse!
Alternatively, if you don't like the smell, you might be able to find this stuff online I discovered recently!

It smells so lovely! Looks partially like an egg-mixture though..don't let it put you off, haha.

Other recommendations is to make sure you always get your split ends trimmed off!
My hair has been amazingly softer since I've had regular cuts. It's actually soft beyond my liking as its in too much good care to back-combe (*`へ´*) I'm sure it will be easier to destroy my hair then to replenish though. Haha!

~~~Hope this helps you dears!~~~

How to get White/Blonde hair.

A lot of people ask me how i got my hair white and my hair is naturally really dark so i'll just post here if it helps anyone! :3

Right! to lighten my hair first i used this:
there is a lot in this bottle so if you got long hair it should be OK!
It's one of the less damaging lighteners I've ever tried on my hair, (I've tried pretty much every lightener sold in stores in the UK can think of :O) it doesn't smell so bad either. It is pretty fast at working and makes your hair a good few shades lighter!
 I originally had enough left over for another two full-head applications, my hair was pretty short at this time!  

First-time it went to a nice light/medium-blonde colour :)
(It was red/brown before this but I can't find pictures =.=)
Then I lightened it again with this to get it even lighter:
 This dye is a little smelly haha! The bottle inside is also very small now :( it used to be a fair size. So you will probably need two if you've got long hair.
It also will make your hair pretty yellow. But thats normal without toned hair.
To get rid of yellow I used this:
This made my hair very silver/grey though :o
like this:
But it is simpiler to use a toner like Directions ^_^
you can also use Directions Lilac to tone it a bit :) it should look this colour:
I love this colour personally! Lilac is a favorite of mine.

The Directions White Toner is really great! It made my hair a little bit violety/grey in places as my hair is so light though. But that fades out after a while.

And there you have it :) hope i helped!
Next post i will write about how I maintain my bleached hair! :)
