Beautylabo Whip Hair Color in Lucent Ash Review

I dyed again! This time it's with Beautylabo Whip Hair Color in Lucent Ash. I guess there's been quite a hype about this hair color recently. I guess the whip hair color line is revamped or strongly marketed here in the Philippines. Though I'm not very sure. There's a lot of reviews and demos out there that have been recently uploaded. So, it's exciting to see a lot Beauty Labo Whip around social media.

If you've been following my blog, I've been DIY hair-dyeing around 2012. Recently, Beauty Labo is my go to brand for hair dyes. A box is very affordable, can cover short to shoulder-length hair, and the color lasts pretty well up to four months. It also covers my gray hairs very well and doesn't become too brassy which I really love.

Previously, I used the Beauty Labo Hair Dye in Candy Apricot, which is in a cream-type dye. It was quite a bright shade of like reddish brown. My hair faded pretty well and wasn't too brassy. This time, I used the whip color hair dye in Lucent Ash.

What I like:

• Very easy to use! I've seen in demos and reviews posted a year ago that it did not come with English instructions. My box had two instructions. And even if I only had the Japanese instructions, it's pretty straight forward and understandable because it has images in them
• Very easy to apply! It's foamier than the Liese
• Doesn't smell really bad. It may sting if you're sensitive. And don't smell the chemicals right off the bottle because I did that and lessoned learned. LOL

What I'm neutral:

• Hair became really stiff when I was done rinsing off the hair foam dye. You need to use a separate conditioner. The box doesn't come with but there's a leave-on conditioner which you can use when your hair dry

Let's hope that the color will turn out nicely as it fades and as my hair grows. The shade on me turned out quite well. Don't you agree?

Beauty Labo Hair Dye in Candy Apricot Before and After Review

Four months ago, I tried Beauty Labo Hair Dye in Candy Apricot. Now, it has faded into a bit of a brown colour. Not very brassy but a tolerable copper colour. Perhaps the shampoo that I have been using also helped with how it managed my hair.

Four months ago

Look how bright the colour is! These pictures were taken at the office. My station is right under the fluorescent lights, that is how bright Candy Apricot can be. Take note that my hair was previously coloured but my roots were already showing. Definitely, it covered the roots effectively.

I just realized that I think I wasn't able to do my hair colouring properly.
However, definitely covered those growing greys.

Freshly coloured roots! The red is so intense.

Current hair

After four months, this is what my hair has come to be. It became brown. I'd rather not say it has become brassy. It faded nicely. I believe the shampoo that I'm using currently using contributed to how it looks like. It's not frizzy, too.

The colour is still vibrantly brown and not discoloured badly.
I like how Beauty Labo Hair Dye fades this way.

The roots are already showing and grey hairs are popping, too.
I like that it does not make a line from the roots and the part that has still colour on it.
It faded well. 

Will I try this colour again? I think not. It was a fun adventure with such a striking colour. I think I'll go back to my previous hair colour. That would be either Creamy Ash or Pure Beige. What do you think? If you'd like to now more about my experience with those two hair colours, check out Beautylabo Hair Dye in Creamy Ash and Pure Beige Review.

Beautylabo Hair Dye in Creamy Ash and Pure Beige Review

In my last hair dye post, I used Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color in Brown. It is an easy DIY hair color and I have no problems with it.

Apparently my hair grow fast, thus, roots show up real quick. After five months, color has already faded with roots showing

I was thinking very hard to repurchase Liese Blaune or try another hair dye. I wanted something a little lighter and cheaper. It took me awhile to decide, which brand and hair color. The Watsons sales attendant at the time suggested Creamy Ash when I was contemplating in front of the Beauty Labo hair dye boxes. She thought it was the closest to my hair color. So last October, I decided to color my hair with Beautylabo Hair Dye in Creamy Ash.

The color on me faded after a couple of months with dignity, in fairness. Last December, I decided to color my hair again with the same brand but in Pure Beige. It successfully covered my hair without any explicit difference from the previous color.

This photo was taken in natural lighting, though it was a little bit cloudy.
It covered my gray hairs completely.
The color is just a little bit lighter than the Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color in Brown.
I must say the SA suggested well. ^o^

Beautylabo Hair Dye in Pure Beige
I have to pixelate my face in this photo because I look awkward on this one. ^o^
This photo was taken under fluorescent lighting.
The hair color is lighter than Creamy Ash but it's not over-the-top light.
It looks brown black under normal /  natural lighting or if you are under a shade.
It just looks lighter under intense lighting but not brassy.

What I like:

• Very affordable! Just priced between Php 200 - 250.
• Easy to apply.
• Smell is tolerable but be sure to dye in a well ventilated space.
• Does not fade into a brassy tone (at least for me).

What I don't like:

• Does not include hair treatment. Although, hair is not that hard to rinse.

Will I repurchase?

Yes! Well, I actually repurchased from my first use, right? You can't beat the affordability and the effectiveness.
