I had dyed my hair for a bit over two months already. The color seemed like it did change a bit to a lighter orange color, though I'm surprised that the color did not fade that much.
For those of you not up to date, I used Liese Prettia Foaming Hair Dye in the color Rose Tea Brown.
Here is my current hair with normal lighting (sunlight through the window).
The color isn't quite visible in indoor lighting though you can tell there's a hint of coloring in the hair.
Here is a closeup of my hair in indoor lighting. My roots is pretty visible now under bright lights and the sunlight, though this is close to the true color you see outdoors. So much for having purple hair :P
I wouldn't recommend anyone with dark hair to use this dye unless they decided to bleach it. I have gotten a few people telling me that they got similar results when using this dye on dark hair. I am definitely planning on using another Liese Prettia Foaming Hair Dye, though definitely not this color again. I think I might try some brown color next time (:
Sorry for the late post! Been really busy this past few weeks with college stuff~ So I dyed my hair two weeks ago~ It was a very long process as I couldn't get the bubbles to stay on my hair before they disappeared.
The instructions I got were in Japanese (as I ordered it straight from Japan), though here's an English video of the instructions in English:
So here is the two bottles of the hair dye. After mixing it and putting on the pink bubble cap, you should be able to squeeze out foam.
So this is my hair before I dyed it. I have had highlights in the past, hence why the ends of my hair is ligher than my roots.
After my tedious almost an hour long from start to finish, here is the end result:

(Inside light)
(Natural lighting outdoors... sorry my smile was too derpy so I blurred it)
It was a bit disappointing because the purple undertone did NOT show up at all. The color I have now has a more orange undertone when shined under sun light. I like the color still but it is far from what the box has shown. I think it may be because my hair wasn't bleached or I may have left it in for a bit too long.
RATINGS
Easiness: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The entire process is really easy. There steps were really easy to understand, even though it was in Japanese. The only thing that may be a bit hard is when trying to get the dye on the back of your head. Other than that, it is basically like shampooing your hair!
Color: ★ ★ ★☆ ☆
As mention earlier, the color did not come out exactly as the box said it would. Under certain lighting, it may appear to be purplish though under the sunlight, it becomes a whole other color. The color is nice but I'm disappointed it didn't turn out how I wanted it to be.
Brightness: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
The color is not quite visible under room light. You can tell its lighter though it appears to be brown. Under the sunlight, it becomes
Smell: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
The first few days, my hair smelled like ammonia after I dyed it. The smell is pretty strong if your hair is right in front of your face, though if it's behind your ears it wasn't that bad.
CONCLUSION
The color didn't fade after a week and it is still pretty visible. I think under certain lighting, the hair appears to have a purple undertone. Even though the color did not turn out how I wanted it to be, I still like the color I have right now. This is my second-third week and the color is still pretty vibrant. The dye itself doesn't wash off that easily, which is a plus! I will be doing another review in a month or two to update you guys whether the color faded or not~
I recently got two hair dyes from online (ordered it from Japan since even with shipping it was a lot cheaper). The two colors that I got were Rose Tea Brown and Sweet Apricot.
It took me a while to decide which color to do first but I ended up choosing the 'Rose Tea Brown' because 1)the color did not seem to be as bright and vibrant as 'Sweet Apricot' and 2)I wasn't able to find ANY reviews of this color. Since 'Rose Tea Brown' is one of the newest colors, I guess not many people have tried it or done a review on it. I really love the color it shows on the box, though most likely the color will be a lot darker than what it shown on the box. So in the box, it includes the following items: 1) Solution 1 - Dye 2) Solution 2 3) Foaming Pump 4) Gloves and the Allergy Test 5) Hair condition
Since I never used this brand of dye before, I did the allergy test. It is important for people to do the allergy test because you will regret it a lot if you do not do it and realize have an allergic reaction. I have heard people that got super bad allergic reactions that resulted in cutting their hair really short and taking medications. The allergy test is really simple. Inside the package, they included a small tearable paper with a circle on it. All you have to do is take cotton swabs and get around 3 drops of solution 1 (the hair color dye) and 3 drops of solution 2 (the clear solution). Mix them together and then apply it either behind your ear or on your arm.
This is the result after I mixed it with two cotton swabs to prevent the two solutions mixing with each other. Also remember, once you mix the solutions you have to use them immediately or else it will not work after one day.
I decided to do it on my arm because it is a lot easier for me to test and see. I did two spots just because I accidentally got too much solution.
(After 10 minutes)
(After 30-40 minutes)
After testing it out, there hasn't been any solutions. The only concern I have is that my arm feels a bit tingly, though there are no signs of redness or itchiness around the area where I put the hair dye on. Hopefully I will not be allergic to the hair dye and will be able to dye it on Friday (:
