Hair Colouring With Hoyu Beauteen's "Sweet Milk Tea"

February 4, 2011 8:45 pm · 836 Views · Posted by Regis

I initially wasn't gonna publish this post as the dye job was done 1.5 months back and there wasn't any drastic changes in my hair colour. My previous hair colour was already quite bright (amazing results from the Rodica Hristu colouring workshop) so this dye job was done just to refresh the colour and lighten my roots.

Before pictures:

Omg at my fuggly roots! :O

But thanks to my mom's powerful DIY hair dyeing skills and this:

I covered up my roots nicely and got this:

Be prepared to be blinded by my shiny bright hair, ho ho ho!

Ha ha ha, very bright right?

But it's not that bad in normal room lighting...

..and under the sunlight.

(Gawd how I love root-less coloured hair QAQ)

The Hoyu Beauteen hair dyes are still the DIY dye of choice I'll turn too, because it works beautifully and it's really cheap (S$8.90 at Watsons). But for people with more sensitive scalp, you might wanna be more cautious and do a patch test before hand, cos most of the dyes contains bleach inside, so it can be a bit harsh. Personally, all I felt was a slight stinging as the bleach worked on my hair, and that's because I tend to go for the very light colours (thus higher % of bleach).

That's just my 2-cents worth of hair dye experience. And I love blinding you guys with my flashing hair halo~ Ha ha, love you all, tootles!!!

I hate ugly roots too!! :DD the colour suits you well Smiling)

I recently dyed my hair to dark chocolate (from cassis berry) but it's weird because after a while, the crown of my head has orange patch while the bottom of it is dark... -_- my hair becomes funny...

@ Claire: No problem, sweets~ Smiling

@ Noppi: Ohh, that sounds weird... Hmm, maybe the dark chocolate dye washed off? Was it by Hoyu Beauteen too? So far I haven't had this problem because I haven't dyed my hair dark. My lighter colour just fades away (as per normal when we wash our hair). Anyway, thansk for the compliment~

I love how it turned out!
I somehow always failed at DIY..
The colour doesn't come out although last when I went to a hair colouring session,the lady told me that my hair absorbs colour easily. ><

@ Zaleha: Thanks! Laughing out loud Hmm, have you tried Jap/asian brand hair dyes? I've always found they work much better than the western ones, cos they're catered towards our stubborn asian hair. Also helps to leave the dye on longer (I left mine on for 50 mins instead of 30 mins). :] Just my tips to share with you lah~

@ Zaleha: Yep, this colour is more elusive, I think because it's one of the more recent additions to the colour range. Juts keep looking though, cos quite a number of Watsons and Guardian outlets do carry it. I've also tried the "Milk Tea Beige" one, but the colour wasn't as obvious as this one. This really lightened my hair a lot.

@ Jones: Ha ha, sure! Provided that I still can keep this colour, it seems to be fading and my roots are re-appearing again! >:O It's time for me to buy another hair dye and experiment with another colour, once I cannot take the sight of the roots, heh~ Jones, do post up your results with the Palty one ok? I've always wanted to try that brand, heard many good things about it.

Ahh~ Just when we are talking about hair dyeing stuffs.. I'm actually trying out the Palty Mist Bleach, had used 4 times and my hair colour already lightened by alot (which is now like about your current shade). And i received a call just 2 days ago to go for a hair show.. So I guess I can't try Palty anymore.. =/ I might only be reviewing the Mist bleach after my 5th/6th application.
At first I tot I wanted to use 10 times so to see the difference before and after. Haix.. duno is to happy or to sad.. hahax~

Oh ya Regis, r u interested to cosplay? I want to look for someone to cos Kpop with me.. hehehxx~ But NO NO Its not Shinee hor. XD PM me k!!~ if u interested. =p

@ Jones: Ai yah, never mind, there's always a next time for the Palty hair dye. Keep it at home first lor~ Sticking out tongue So lucky you got called for a hair show, cos you get fantastic hair when you go for one, ha ha! Can't wait to see your result from it!

Gosh, I've always been interested in cosplay but judging from the time and money required, I end up not doing it. When I see Charmaine splurging on her cosplay stuff, my face is like --> QAQ Plus for a good reason this month, I'm trying to save as money as I can (if it comes true, can tell you guys >_o). Just curious, who are you planning to cosplay this time? Laughing out loud

Hahax~ thanks. Infact now then I got to know I'm going to have black blue hair!! >o<
so palty used 5times and wasted!! OTL|||

Uh yah, for the cosplay I pm u later!~ well we r not deciding to do it that early yet.. Probably nearer end of the year Eye-wink so we can still slowly get the materials, split the spendings into separate months so won't feel the pain. Hehex..Sticking out tongue

hi there. stumbled by your post accidentally. hmm, your hair turned out really nice. i'm thinking of dyeing my hair (i've not dyed it before) either milk tea beige or sweet milk tea but didn't know which color would turn out better. hmm, how did milk tea beige turn out on your hair? ^_^ i'm quite a noob in doing hair; haha planning to cut and dye my hair since my hair's not been cut for quite a while. Smiling

@ xinhui shahirah: Og my gosh, sorry for the late reply. I had been swamped with work! =x I had blogged about dyeing my virgin dark brown hair with "Milk Tea Beige" around May last year (link is http://regis.onsugar.com/Ive-Gone-Coppery-Brunette-8546645) and I thought the colour came out not too bad. Of course it wasn't as blond as the girl depicted on the box, but the colour was still obvious. But I'd have to say, Sweet Milk Tea has more bleaching power, so the colour is even more obvious than Milk tea Beige's. See if you want something which is more natural or something brighter. Smiling
