It's been quite sometime that I had my hair colored. I felt that since it's new year I need a new look too ( o diba ang gandang excuse)! It really is a great timing to color my hair as I don't want to trim my hair nor do some straightening treatments (another excuse hehe).
And yes, I did color my hair using Etude Bubble Hair Coloring. How did I come up with this brand?
While debating on where to color my hair, either at home or in a salon (us girls really complicate things...). But I've been busy with work for the past year, so it will be more practical to color my hair at home. I have tried known brands for DIY hair colors and some were satisfying but some did not achieve what I wanted. Since I have super black hair, I needed a hair color that would be light enough for it to stand out but won't turn into blond or super bright color.

I got my Etude Bubble Hair Coloring during the Holiday Season. Since it was the time for gift giving, exchange gifts and kris kringle, I decided to have this on my wish list (Thanks Porky Pig!!!, my kirs kringle daddy). I was choosing from the brands that I have used before which proves to be effective with my black hair and suites my taste. But then I came up at the area where Etude House was located. I have known and own some of their products but I failed to notice their Hair Color line until recently. I noticed that Korean Girls have good hair colors which also complement their skin tone. And since I wanted a stronger hair color that would not turn into blond, I felt that Etude Hair Coloring is worth a try.
Etude Bubble Hair Coloring is a shampoo type hair coloring, its bubble foam can give more vivid color than cream type items.
Available in 2 colors. Sweet Orange and Black.
It cost around 370 bucks each.
The set contains:
- 2 hair color potions (I don't know how to call them so I made up my own definition hehe) as the hair coloring
- 1 set of gloves
- 1 plastic apron (other brands don't usually have so I find this cool)
- 1 conditioner
How to use Etude Bubble Hair Color
Step 1:
Pour pink sachet into the pumping container.
*The pink sachet contains a light brownish fluid while the pumping container has clear fluid.
Step 2: Mix the 2 fluids together. Shake shake shake and pump!!! This is so much fun!!!
You'll notice when pumping, the color turns into violet with a foamy texture. (Thought bubble: Oh no, what am I getting myself into?? My hair might turn into violet.)
Step 3: Apply onto the hair, from the roots to tips.
Foam that has stained my hand turns into orange. (Still having thought bubbles: Have they mix matched the fluids? But still continues to apply onto my hair)
Step 4: Leave on for 30 minutes.
(Still having thought bubble: hhhmmmm my hair seems still black, will it turn to orange or violet?? oh my)
Step 5: Rinse thoroughly.
You will see orange like color that will flow along with the water while rinsing.
(Continue with thought bubble: Oh no, it might not work)
And after drying my hair, the result was..........
It was a success! I liked it! The color enhances as the days pass by.
What I like about Etude Bubble Hair Coloring

- Availability of an apron.
- It doesn't have any stinky smell and the conditioner smells good!
- It has the right quantity (not too much and not too little).
- I like that it turns into foam = less mess!
- It is easy to use.
What I don't like about it
- The apron got ripped off easily and I was not able to use it. :(
- After 1 day, my hair became a little bit dry. (I just conditioned my hair and it went back to normal again Yipee!!! )
- Instructions were written in Korean language, I needed to rely on the image at the side of the box.
I took another shot 2 days after. You can see the color enhances.
