Have you heard of Milk_shake Direct Color !? :) I bought my products from my hairdresser Monica at\u00a0Color And The Shape<\/a> in Uppsala and is in love!<\/p>\n

Hairdressers usually never recommend home color \/ toning otherwise, just type silver shampoo and color packaging. But Milk_shake has a home tint that is very easy to use and that hairdressers recommend for home use.<\/p>\n

My hair gets yellow, warm tones in my hair very quickly after a few washes after the hairdresser's visit. Since I am not very bright blonde, silver shampoo does not make as much difference as I would like, even though it of course has an effect. I have therefore been looking for some type of nuance that can be done at home between hairdresser visits and now I have finally found a great product for this! It is MAGICAL!<\/p>\n

\"Milk_shake<\/p>\n

Milk_Shake Direct Color (left in the picture) is a color that you can have directly in the hair, but for toning effect you mix it with a foam (right in the picture). There is a foam that is completely transparent but I bought the one that also gives a silver effect to give even more coolness to the hair color.<\/p>\n

And hey, I'm so happy with the result! Several at work have also seen a difference and asked if I dyed my hair :)<\/p>\n

\"Milk_shake<\/p>\n

Look what a difference!<\/p>\n

What is Milk_shake Conditioning Direct Color?<\/h4>\n

Milk_Shake Direct Color<\/a> (adlink) is a home toning that is available in different shades, both colors with a lot of pigment (if you want pink hair, for example) and ones like the one I have that become more like a neutralization.<\/p>\n

Nuance Powder -<\/strong> I have used the best-selling shade Powder which has a purple \/ pink powdery tone. It effectively removes yellow tones and gives a faint rose color to the hair. I have also tried Beige Blond which is a little milder and a little more pink beige than purple pink as Powder is, it is also good but I prefer Powder a little more as it gives more effect.<\/p>\n

The fact that the color attracts rose purple and not just blue (as many ziver products do) is because pink also neutralizes green. If you have a strong yellow tone, it can get a little greenish if you just apply blue.<\/p>\n

Formula -<\/strong> The cream is a bit like a colored gel in texture and very easy to distribute in the hair. It is moisturizing but NOTE contains silicones which is the only negative, I prefer not to have silicones in my hair\u2026<\/p>\n

What is Milk_shake Silver Shine Whipped Cream?<\/h4>\n

Milk_Shake Silver Shine Whipped Cream<\/a> (adlink) is a caring and coloring foam with a silver tone. You can either mix with Direct Color, or use as a leave-in product after the shower for an even cooler effect on the hair color.<\/p>\n

The shade -<\/strong> Neutralizes yellow and warm tones and gives the hair a cooler tone. There is also a foam that is colorless (it is cheaper too) that you can use for the other colors if you do not want a cooler tone in your hair.<\/p>\n

Formula -<\/strong>\u00a0A very creamy foam that is incredibly easy to distribute throughout the hair. Contains milk proteins and blueberry extracts that have a softening effect on the hair. Contains silicones just like the above product. Gets very smooth in the hair!<\/p>\n

\nI made my first mix in a beautiful drinking glass, just for fun hihi! Fint va?<\/p>\n

How to use Milk_Shake Direct Color?<\/h4>\n

Here's how to do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash your hair and do this toning as the last step in the shower.<\/li>\n
  2. Towel dry your hair<\/li>\n
  3. Mix Direct Color with the Whipped Cream foam in a small bowl. The more color \/ less foam you use, the more effect the coloring gives, but what is recommended is about 5 ml of paint and a click of foam that is about the size of a tennis ball.
    \n- However, I mix directly in the hand (except for the first time when I had in the glass above hehe) and I think it works just as well, so you do not have to work with the counter.<\/li>\n
  4. Wear gloves if you use one of the stronger colors, I have not had it for the Powder shade though and it did not attach anything to the hands.<\/li>\n
  5. Distribute evenly in the hair and leave for 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how much effect is desired.<\/li>\n
  6. Rinse your hair thoroughly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Clear!<\/p>\n

    This is how nice the result was then:<\/p>\n

    \"Milk_shake<\/p>\n

    How long does Milk_Shake Direct Color last?<\/h4>\n

    The paint lasts 8-10 washes depending on what color you have and how long you have left it in pain. For me who fills up on every wash without rinsing out, it takes a long time to wash off completely, but it disappears a bit every wash anyway.<\/p>\n

    However, one should always be aware of all color packaging and the like\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0put hard on the hair, and if you then bleach on the pigments that remain, it can be any color. So there are no guarantees. I've talked a lot with my hairdresser Monica about this.<\/p>\n

    So if you are going to try to have bright purple in your blonde hair, be a little careful because it is not 100 that the pigments disappear completely even though it is on the packaging.<\/p>\n

    Award<\/h4>\n

    Now I do not remember the prices exactly<\/em> in the head but 169: - I think Direct Color cost and 289: - cost the silver foam. So type 450: - for both. And the foam that does not have a silver effect probably also costs SEK 169 if I remember correctly, so it is much cheaper. Prices online may differ.<\/p>\n

    \"get<\/p>\n

    It turned out more in the ros\u00e9 direction than I had expected, I thought it would be more silver cold and possibly go in the lavender purple direction if reached - because that's what the color itself looks like when you mix.<\/p>\n

    But I have some red-pink pigments in my hair from previous dyes, so it fits super well and it's crazy nice! :)<\/p>\n

    Here's what I do now:<\/h3>\n

    Update! I wrote this in the post 3 years later :)<\/p>\n

    I have become totally addicted and at the time of writing have been using these products for 3.5 years now. They are so good!<\/p>\n

    I no longer use the Direct Color cream as a coloring, but mix a small click in my conditioner and use it as a leave-in cream when I finish the hair wash. So I stay in the shower and have it as a last step, but diluted with conditioner and without rinsing.<\/p>\n

    When I now use it as a leave-in, I only get a nice cold tone, it usually does not draw so much to pink but more just cold. I do this about every other hair wash, it lasts longer but then I always have a perfect tone.<\/p>\n

    I use the mousse from time to time when I want a cooler tone.<\/p>\n

    In my blog post Take care of permanent hair<\/a> can you see how the shade becomes on my hair when it was lighter bleached. Have used a lot of Milk_Shake then as well.<\/p>\n

    And in my blog post Rainbow Makeup Tutorial<\/a> can you see my hair color with a little darker blonde tone and where I used a little less Milk_Shake. More natural but still a nice tone! My hair quickly turns yellow otherwise.<\/p>\n

    \"get<\/p>\n

    Love the balayage and all the shifts in the hair, the whole hairstyle becomes more alive :)<\/p>\n

    Summary -<\/strong> Good home toning to effectively freshen up the hair color without having to go to the hairdresser's cliff in the block. Big minus that it contains silicone I think, but in addition it gets two big thumbs up!<\/p>\n

    The result is nice, even and they are very easy to use. You can also vary if you want a lot or a little effect by adjusting the amount of color and foam. The hair feels soft and smooth afterwards. Above all, it gives a lot of effect which I love!<\/p>\n

    Have any of you tested Milk_shake's products? What do you think?<\/p>\n
