Meet Mikko Vincenzo aka NoodleLito, our bundle of joy and a bright ray of sunshine in our lives. He is now a toddler with a gorgeous mane and lovely curls that any girl would die (dye) for.

Quite the active little tyke he is and it's so difficult to get a decent photo of him these days.

Natural hair color and natural curls!

Back in 2011 after I gave birth to this handsome little fellow, I dyed my hair with this particular shade of Ash Blonde from HBC/Hortaleza as soon as my OB/GYNE allowed me to. Ugh. Pregnancy and ammonia. Anyways, I wanted to achieve the same color so I bought the same stuff to do it all over again. I'm surprised they haven't raised their prices and I'm so glad it's still affordable. This tube of hair color would last me 2-3 sessions since my hair is now so short.

This only costs Php125.00

12% developer for that sweet, bright shade

Do it yourself hair color at home!

I prefer to use the 12% oxidizing lotion because I don't like my hair color to be just subtle, plus the brighter the color, the better it looks in photographs. I was expecting the color to turn out yellowish but it seemed to be quite on the orange-y/rust/bronze side. Should I have bleached my hair first? I don't really know why it's not the same color as before, but I'm guessing it must be because I previously dyed my hair a shade of Medium Blonde when I did the Ombre Hair a few months ago.

So what do you think? Now I look sort of Korean with this hair... but not the Ulzzang one I was hoping for. I look like a KPOP singer from one of those boy bands. LOL! I love it though. It's a whole new look methinks.

Do you guys have any favorite hair colors from HBC/Hortaleza? Let me know so I can check it out and try that next time around. ;)
