Aldi Hair Dye {review}

I'm always looking for good products that do their job and save me a few euro.

While doing the weekly shopping in November, I came across hair dye in Aldi.

At first I was a bit skeptical about the product.

I mean, how could something so cheap be any good.

The hair dye came in at under €3 and for that price I couldn't leave it there.

I was in bad need of a touch up and decided to give it a go.

Fast forward to the middle of December and the dye was still on the shelf looking at me.

You see I love my long hair.

I didn't want anything bad to happen to it.

I had horrible visions or my hair turning green of even falling out.

It cost less then the dinner did and that couldn't be good, right?

The day of a family party came and I still hadn't done the deed.

I asked twitter friends of they had ever used it and no one had.

But with a little encouragement and being told I should sacrifice myself for the greater good I decided to do it.

To my surprise, it was great.

The coverage was amazing.

All my grey's were covered and not highlighted like some dyes do.

{Yes I have a few grey's but I'm sure ye won't tell anyone}

The colour was very natural looking and made my hair look and feel healthy.

No green hair/ hair loss to report either.

Woo hoo!!

Sorry for the bad bathroom selfie. Forgot to take a proper picture with my big girl camera.

Overall, I was delighted that I bought it and I can tell you I won't be paying double and sometimes even triple the price ever again.

So, if you're looking for a cheap, good quality hair dye that hides those naughty grey's, head down to Aldi and invest there.

You won't be sorry.
