Schwarzkopf Natural and Easy Hair Dye 522


I decided to change my hair colour again. 

For those of you that don't already know, I love playing around with my hair. I'm constantly changing the cut, the colour, or both.

Having experimented with going blonde last year, at the start of this year I decided to go red and then mid brown. Well, I've now decided to want to be blonde again. I know, I know... 

I have decided to be a bit more gentle about it this time round though. Last year I fried my hair with bleaching multiple times. I was going from black to platinum blonde though so it was a necessary step... just probably should have done it gradually over several months and not over a couple of weeks. Oops!

Anyway, I decided that this time I'd try a different approach. As my starting colour this time round was brown I figured it was worth giving just the box dye a try in the hopes of skipping the bleaching and hopefully therefore causing less damage to my still recovering hair.

I chose the Schwarzkopf Natural and Easy Hair Dye 522 as the box promised it could take me from dark blonde to light blonde. My starting colour was not too different from the darkest shade shown on the box.

Review


Having previously used Schwarzkopf Natural and Easy Hair Dye and had great results I figured this was worth a try. 

It was super easy to use and one box dye was enough to cover my hair. If I grow my hair any longer I'll probably need two boxes to get good coverage though.

After using it my hair was also significantly softer, shinier, and less dry in general. Unfortunately it didn't make my hair blonde or cover my white ones. 

When I choose this hair dye I knew it was a long shot as going from a darker shade to a lighter one with bleach is not easy. That said I'd done some research and found videos of other people who had managed to make this work on their hair. Maybe their hair wasn't previously dyed and it was their natural hair colour? 

Whatever the reason, it just didn't work on my hair. It did make it several shades lighter but not the light blonde on the box. 

The thing that surprised me the most was that it didn't cover the grey. Past dyes I've used in this range did a good job covering my grey hair (the box says 100% and whilst that might not always be the case it usually gets most of them). This time was definitely more miss than hit.
