Review on Richenna Bubble Color

Hellos!! Today I’m going to review a brand of a Bubble Hair Dye which is called “Richenna Bubble Color”. I love changing my hair color most of the time so I frequently dye my hair once or twice a month or the moment I notice that I’m forming a pudding head.

My favorite brands for Hair Bubble Color is Palty because it doesn’t have that annoying pungent smell whereas most hair dye has. I also do love Prettia because it has a lot of shades to choose from although the smell is a bit off compared to Palty but I can normally tolerate it.  If you want to read more about my reviews on PALTY and PRETTIA, please HERE, HERE and HERE.

One day I was roaming around Watson and I caught glimpse on the hair dye section and notice this cute packaging that has a brand called “RICHENNA BUBBLE HAIR COLOR”. I was quite happy to saw this brand because I’ve been wishing that our drugstore here would carry bubble hair dye just so I don’t need to buy them online anymore.

First off, RICHENNA BUBBLE HAIR COLOR is a brand from KOREA and made in KOREA. They carry wide range of hair dyes from typical gray coverage hair dyes to this type of fashion bubble hair dyes. If you want to know more about the brand, just click HERE.

RICHENNA BUBBLE HAIR COLOR is priced at PHP350 (around USD8) and is available in ALL WATSONS. They only have 9 shades available at the moment and these are Natural BLACK, Light BROWN, Golden BROWN, Natural BROWN, Red WINE, Beige BROWN, PINK BROWN, ASK BROWN and LIGHT BLONDE.

I bought the LIGHT BROWN because I just wanted to even out the pudding head so I chose the shade closest to my current hair color.

Here’s how the box looks like:

Inside the box contains the following:

1)      #1 Colorant 50g

2)      #2 Developer 50g

3)      An empty pump container for mixing

4)      A pair of gloves and a sheet of cape

5)      Henna Therapy Condition

So here goes my reviews and impression on this brand:

PROS:

l         Affordable compared to other bubble hair dye

l         Available locally

l         Color seems to payoff really well

CONS:

l         Smell is a bit off (similar to PRETTIA but a bit stronger)

l         I find it quite harsh as I felt a slight sting on the scalp and it made my scalp a bit reddesh (it went away the next day)

l         Limited shades

PRECAUTION:

Please check if you are allergic to any of the mentioned ingredients:
