Hi beauties <3, it is time for another review from me
:D. Last week I’ve received hampers from Beautylabo to try out their hair dye
in Raspberry Pink. Beautylabo is a hair dye from Japan that have plenty of fashion
color range and they are very affordable. There are about 6 color that you can find here at Indonesia; Natural
Black, Dark Brown, Natural Blonde, Pure Beige, Candy Apricot and lastly the
Raspberry Pink (They have pretty much all of the color that I want to try). They also have ash color if i'm not mistaken which not sold here yet. I
found that the Candy Apricot and Raspberry Pink looks the most different from
the other color. And I’m not really into reddish orange kind of shade, so I
choose the last one :p.
You can't really see the color when i'm indoor, and i know there are people who likes to shown the color when they are outside only. If you'd like to see more vibrant color, try to bleach your hair first. But for University students or a bit younger than that, maybe this will be more suitable for you (if you are scared or shy to show off bold hair color).
Pros :
Cons :
I’ve always wanted Pink based Chocolate hair dye for my
hair. And this Raspberry Pink color is quite near with what my preference is. I
will put down photo below of what color that i wanted for forever :(. I’ve always wanted to
dye my hair like this, but I guess my father will kick me out if he sees it, LOL. He is quite strict about this kind of stuff :pp.
So, I see the before after photos at the box and found
out that it still looks natural if I’m not bleaching my hair. It doesn’t look
pink there, but it turns more into wine chocolate-y? So, I guess if you are new
to this stuff and wanted more into natural finish this would be a great option.
You can’t mess this, the color isn’t that bold (safe option).
Packaging
The box is very cute and Japanese like. They also put
list of kit that you will get in this box, that’s very neat (And I don’t see
any conditioner sachet in it, well I guess because it is quite cheap). They
also give before after photos of three shade hair that you’ve probably have (especially
if you are asian). The only thing that missing is they don’t have blonde color shade
hair here for example. Well, maybe because this hair dye market is into more
Asian people who got darker hair than other nationality. But the before after
photos are quite neat :D, it helps me at least. The price is about Rp. 48.000,-
to Rp. 55.000,-. It is cheap, especially if you are new to this and want to try
to dye your hair.
They also put on the list of what this kit contains of at the box <3

Important Warnings and Detailed Information
Before we started to dye our hair, please do not forget
to do a little test beforehand. We don’t want to get any allergy reaction from
hair dye. It is said that you need to do the test 48 hours before. It is not
for children under 16 years. And please use the gloves that they provide,
because if you get any tattoo on your hand and the dye touches it, you will get
higher possibility to get the allergy reaction (be careful if you have any
tattoo at your neck and face area also). Do not try to dye your hair if you
have any redness on your face. And if you have any sensitive, irritated or scar
on your head scalp, better dye it later when it is better. You might also
refrain from using this hair dye if you have any allergy reaction from using
any hair dye and tattoo product.
Do not try to dye your eyebrow and eyelash with this
product. Please mind your eye area not touching the product itself and mind
that this product contains Phenylenediamines and Hydrogen Peroxide.
The Color and How it Works
When you mixed the Cream Colorant and the Cream
Developer, you will get a purple paste which is fascinating because I expect it
to be red or pink. Then I used the paste with the help of comb so it will look
even. Do not forget to cover the areas near hair with face cream or Vaseline so
the hair dye doesn’t transfer and stain. After done, I always wrap them with hair cap so it won't get anywhere and the hair dye will be absorb more effectively. Then I wait for about 35 minutes while
I am snacking (because my hair is dark, I tried to get it a bit longer than
what they have instructed) :p. I want to use mask actually while waiting, but
meh I will wash my hair and take a bath so the mask will be useless then,
right?
What is inside the box? (Cream Colorant, Cream Developer, Nozzle, Gloves and Instructions)
Follow the instructions~ <3
After 35 minutes, I rinse my hair first with warm water,
then I shampoo it and use my conditioner like how the instruction say. It blows
my mind that when I rinsed my hair before using shampoo, it still feels soft
and not dry at all. I have tried some hair dye and they turned my hair super
dry and I really need to put on conditioner to make them soft again. But not
with Beautylabo, huh that’s weird. I also didn’t feel my head scalp hot or
itchy like how other hair dye feels. Is it because the formula suits me or is
it just me? O_O Please comment down below if you have any problem with this
hair dye because I don’t and I am curious (all of the hair dye that I’ve tried
makes my head itchy at the least).
It also doesn’t stain my towel after I rinse it three
times (rinse with hot water, shampoo, and conditioner). My hair roots really
dyed into reddish chocolate color which I don’t really see at the end of my
hair areas. Is it because the lighting or what? But, it is great for people who
doesn’t like bold hair color. You can’t really see the dye indoor. You can only
see if the lighting is bright enough or you are outdoor. But, if you have light
hair color before, I guess the hair dye will show more even when you are
indoor.
My hair is quite thin and I only need about half of the
paste to dye my hair. I don’t know if I can take half of each colorant and
developer to use now and the other half mixture for later usage. But, I’m sad :(, there are plenty of
products left and I can’t just dump them into my hair.
The Scent
This part is what I hate from this hair dye. Even though
there are plenty hair dyes out there that are worse than this product. The
scent is quite disturbing because I am quite sensitive with products scent. It
makes me nauseous while I’m waiting for it to finish stains my hair. But,
thankfully the scent is gone after I rinse and use shampoo. Please mind that
every people is different, what I feel maybe won’t disturb you and other people
out there.

Results
4/5
I like the finish of this product because even though I
have quite dark hair, it still changes my hair color more than what I expected.
The formula also one of my favorites because it doesn’t irritate my scalp and
it isn’t itchy like how other dye do. Oh, it also doesn’t damage my already
damaged hair to worse. The price is also cheap, especially because it doesn’t
make my hair dry, known that they didn’t include conditioner or any treatment
inside.
They are also very easy to get everywhere and very easy to use :D. Looks
like the hair dye will be long lasting enough because whenever I wash my hair,
the bubble and the water isn’t stained anymore (It’s been 1 week and the color also
hasn’t fade even a bit). I do love how they included the Coconut & Almond
oil. I wonder if that ingredients that makes this hair dye doesn’t damage and
turning my hair dry. New favorite hair dye!
