Japan - Day 3

Wow I'm on a roll, I did not neglect this entry, pushing it till next month kudos to me!

So this is about my third day in Japan when we headed to both Akihabara and Shibuya. Unfortunately we ended up just walking around in circles for hours in Akihabara since we couldn't find a particular shop that we then found out had closed... It made me so sad since it was one of my absolute favourite shops to go to... Oh well.

That day I dyed my hair grey, I felt that it was time for something new and I don't regret it one bit! Dyeing my hair felt like a fresh start that I needed badly.

Wore my new Ghost of Harlem stuff that I bought the day before and I felt fab ~! Even though it was a quite simple outfit it's still one of my favourites I've worn.

After wandering around in Akihabara for hours we headed to Shibuya to meet up with our friends to shop and eat. Shibuya is really cool and I love going there after dark since it really comes a life then, all the signs and lights makes it look so cool.

Cutie Amanda who I thought looked like Usagi that day ~

When we arrived in Shibuya it was still a while left before we were supposed to meet up with the others so we stopped for some yummy halloween donuts at Krispy Kreme.

They had special halloween donuts since it was halloween haha so we decided to split a big box and no regrets. They were so tasty and I couldn't even finish mine but I wanted to so we took the ones we didn't eat back to the hotel.

Yummy yummy!

This describes my love for those donuts.

Oh yeah! We were super lucky and ran into none other than Kurebayashi!!! Wah she was so cute and nice and she even put us on her twitter and aifhjdafhkjhfa!!! I'm so happy we managed to meet and talk to her (thank you Marijela for translating for us ꒰♡ˊ͈ ु꒳ ूˋ͈꒱.⑅*♡)

 When we were shopping in 109 Jözz found her dream man hehe.

After we were done shopping Marijela showed us a place to eat tapas and have some drinks, it was super cozy ~!

So since we couldn't sleep during the night we decided to do one of my favourite things, go shopping at Shin-Okubo's Donki in the middle of the night and laugh at hosts and their girlfriends hahaha.

I love Donki ok.

Sayariins mindplace

Day 3

"Yes boys in Shibuya, you better think I'm motherfucking kawaii, it took me forever to do my makeup today due to freaking jetlag. HA!

Grey Hair - How to obtain and maintain it

Long time no see? I've been quite busy these past weeks but today I decided to take some time off to blog. I recently dyed my hair gray and well why not make a quick guide on how to obtain grey hair!

Before I began I had platina blonde hair which I recommend anyone who wants to obtain grey hair to have, if it's too yellow or darker the color won't come out right. I used silver shampoo at first and left it in until most of the yellow tones had turned more blue/purple. This makes sure that once the color starts to fade it won't look dirty or yellow.

This is the color I recommend, it's called Berina hair color cream - light grey color A21. I have tried another permanent dye and toners but this is the one that has worked the best. You can find this color really easily on ebay just by searching the name I've written above. This is a permanent dye not a toner so it will damage your hair slightly like all permanent dyes, but with this dye I barely noticed it.

The dyeing process

The dye doesn't come with any obvious instructions, it does have a few on the inside of the box but they weren't that helpful so I took matters into my own hands.

1. Put on a pair of plastic/silicon gloves then grab a small bowl and a spoon, you will need these to mix the dye. Pour the whole tube and the liquid in the flask into the bowl and mix it thoroughly, keep mixing it until it's smooth and you can't tell the difference between the two things. 
2. Wet your hair and towel dry it. Now before you apply the dye to your entire hair I would suggest that you try it on a small strand of hair to see how it reacts. The recommended time to leave this dye in before rinsing it is around 20-40 min, so during that time check the hair on a regular basis by taking a little bit of water on your fingers and rub a small area of the dyed hair gently, by doing so you will be able to see what the dye looks like underneath. If the color looks nice you can continue to step 3.
3. In this step we will start by rinsing the color out of the small area that you've already applied dye to, then we can start dyeing the whole hair or the particular areas that you want grey. Start by applying it by your roots and work your way out, using either an application brush or your hands (I would recommend the brush at first). Remember that the furthest parts of your hair will probably take more dye since it's been treated more than the area near your roots, that's why you should start with the roots and work your way out.
4. Once you've applied the dye to your whole hair you wait, now this is the tricky part. This dye have a lot of blue tones so if you aren't careful your hair might end up looking blue, and that's not what you want. I only had this dye in for 15 minutes which is 5 minutes less than the recommended minimum time and my hair almost turned blue. This time will vary though depending on the quality and color of your hair before you used this dye, so remember to check your hair on a short regular basis during the entire dyeing process (you can use the same technique that you used earlier!).
5. Once you think the dye has been in long enough and you think the color looks good rinse it out using shampoo and a lot of conditioner, then you're done! Hopefully your hair will look great and you'll be ready to rock that grey hair like there is no tomorrow!

Maintaining the color

So grey is a really hard color to keep in your hair since it will fade out very quickly, so here's my tip on how to maintain it properly. You will need directions silver toner and a good silver shampoo. You can get the directions toner off ebay and I would suggest you ask your hairdresser or go to a proper haircare store for tips on what silver shampoo you should use.

1. Use the silver shampoo when you wash your hair (but not every time since your hair will become dry then!) to avoid it turning yellowish, just remember to not leave it in for too long or else it will turn purple/blue.
2. Every now and then after you've washed your hair you will notice how it might start to get yellowish in certain areas or that the color has faded but it still haven't reached that point where you want to dye it with the permanent dye again. This is when you use the the silver toner from directions! Apply it after you've washed and towel dried your hair using your hands, rub it in at the yellow areas or in your entire hair, remember that this color is a toner so it won't hurt your hair and the longer you keep it in the better the color will stick. Then just wash your hair like you did before and then you're done!

This is what I do to dye and maintain the color, I hope it has helped at least a little!

GOOD LUCK!
