DIY: Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Sweet Orange

Raindrops Despite the rains these past few days, it did not stop me from thinking about this SUMMER! I went to the mall and have the urge to color my hair. I immediately visited Etude House Southmall Branch to grab one of their Bubble Hair Coloring for only 378Php. I wanted the Natural Brown color but unfortunately it was out of stock. :( The available colors that day were Deep Black, Wine Red and Sweet Orange. My first Bubble Hair Coloring was in Wine Red but there was no drastic change. :| So I tried the Sweet Orange.

  3. Lavender sachet. - Amazing Treatment
  4. Mini booklet. - Instructions written in Korean.  :( Not helpful at all.

Verdict Time!

What I love:

  • The BUBBLE formula. No need to use a comb/brushes for even application. You just lather it on your hair like you're shampooing. So easy! 
  • The SCENT. I don't know if it's just me or anything but at first it smells like a flower but after a while the scent turns stronger. Like the smell in salon when they dye your hair. 
  • The Gloves and Plastic Cape. It's all in 1 box. Everything you need is provided for you.
  • The A-Mazing Lavender Treatment. It smells so sweet and very calming to your senses. It turns your hair very soft and manageable after wash.

What I hate:

  • The Mini Booklet. Well, I know this product is from Korea and maybe that's the reason why the instruction booklet is written in korean. For me, it didn't help me at all.
  • The Stinging sensation. Maybe it's just me but I had a stinging sensation while applying it on my hair. I really have a sensitive scalp.
  • The Plastic Cape. I know it's on my "What I love" BUT the cape is not sturdy and I stained my tank top even if I had the plastic cape on. Weird.
SCORE: 9/10

My Advice:

  • For even application, section your hair. Start from the bottom hair then just add hair from the top little by little. 
  • If you have dark color hair for base and you want the color to show more, leave the solution for  1 hr. Just like what I did.
  • NOTE TO EVERYONE: If you're going to start applying the hair color you should CHANGE your top with something you wont use anymore.
  • DON'T THROW the excess formula! Apply everything on your hair! Don't forget your sideburns and the baby hairs around your forehead.
