I am constantly being asked how I get my hair this colour and what hair dye I use. The dye that I use is by the Japanese Brand Dariya Palty, in the shade "pure natural". I have been using this dye (in the same shade) since 2009 and I have never changed because I love the results I get, as I often find it difficult to lighten my naturally black hair without bleaching it. I have tried numerous brands here in the UK previously but my hair would never achieve the colour I wanted. I know these days there are all these ombré hair kits which help you achieve this result now but back then I would have had no option but bleach. It occurred to me that Japanese people generally have pretty dark/ black hair so I figured I would get results with a brand more suited to Asian hair. I noticed that in the popular Japanese gyaru trend, and a lot of the girls have a variation of different light browns or blonde hair, I did my research and came across this brand.

Palty "Pure natural" package designs 2009, 2011, 2014 (does it make me a hoarder for keeping one each time it changes? lol) |
comb through cap, Hair treatment infused with camellia oil, agent 2 oxide water, agent 1 dye also comes with gloves and instructions |
when ordering from Hong Kong the instructions come in both Chinese & English
when you order from Japan the instructions are only in Japanese. However the images are pretty self explanatory |
- Firstly put on the clothes, wear something old or something you don't mind getting dye on, I'd advise you to wrap an old towel on your shoulders like a cape.
- Then put on the gloves provided and unscrew the lid from bottle 2 and squeeze into it the entire contents of tube 1. Put the lid back on and shake until the two have mixed thoroughly.
- Unscrew the lid once again and replace it with the comb through lid. (before proceeding to dye all your hair it's advised to do a strand test, incase of allergy)
- section your hair and then starting at the root of the hair gently squeeze the bottle and comb the dye through your hair to the tips, move on to each section and do the same.
- after you have covered all your hair, gently massage the dye into your hair using your fingers (makesure you're wearing the gloves lol)
- leave the dye in your hair for no more than 30 minutes
- Rinse your hair thoroughly, ensuring that the product is completely washed out
- Then use the Hair treatment Provided, really helps condition your hair as this dye can really dry it out.
