For those who are especially fond of their hair: I will tell you how to rescue the most damaged hair!
I know that you might be hungry for more posts with stories and advice about "what to do?" so that the quality of your hair becomes better, and its length - greater!.
...And yet, too many of us start taking care of our hair only when it starts breaking, splitting, and becomes dry... That’s fundamentally wrong because your hair needs your loving care all the time, every season, and not just when you suddenly decided to pay it some of your precious attention!.
Therefore this blog was born with secrets and tips for a beautiful mane you can be proud of.
1. Don’t over-wash your hair til it “squeaks”, even if you have oily hair : washing more often won’t save you, if you over-dry your hair by constant washing, instead you will invite dandruff and hair loss. But more importantly it will become oily even sooner!!!
2. If your hair is overly dry, breaks off, or you are forced to wash often: TRY CO WASHING! There are various methods to do this - you can try a cleansing conditioner UNWASH, or just any quality SLS free Conditioner- yes, your conditioner has the ability to foam up a little on your head and cleanse your hair!
3. Wear a hat, if it’s too hot or too cold!!! Imagine how would you like it if YOU were constantly left to overheat or freeze to death!
4.If you are coloring your hair at home, avoid Box dyes like the devil. You can order pretty much ANYTHING these days using the magic of Internet, so STOP settling for less...your hair deserves THE BEST.
So when it comes to coloring your hair there're two things that can be done: Root Coloring and Length Coloring. Remember they are two different animals. You CANNOT pull your root color through your length without damaging your beautiful healthy lengths. Not even for 5 minutes. How are these two different? For root coloring, you will typically use a PROFESSIONAL color depositing dye + developer (bought separately, buy the same brand as your dye).
Box dyes typically contain very high % peroxide in their developers, and the most ironic thing is they don't even have the decency to TELL you. All the bottle will say on it is "activator"(may as well put "magic potion"). They think that their consumer is so stupid that they don't need to know that they are actually putting a 30% or 40% developer on their poor head and ruining the integrity of their hair forever.
So...For your root touch up, if you have no grays, you will only need 10 volume developer (20 for gray). For your lengths, that have been previously dyed, you should use 5 volume (you can dilute your 10 volume developer 1:2 with any hair conditioner). Now, I only use bleach - not hair dyes - to lighten my hair, so if you're blonde, it's the easiest thing to do for a dark haired beauty. If you are lighter (level 7 or natural blonde) - then, high lift dyes might work for you. For me, they don't provide enough lift unfortunately.
5.And the most beautiful and simple secret: I saved the best for last. Use oils! I’m still discovering many wonderful oils...Behold, my most recent yummy treat for hair: BALI SECRET !!!
Bali Secret is a instagram sensation which is a bottle with 40 candy-like red capsules... it takes just TWO for my thin feather-like, damaged shoulder length hair! I’m now on my second bottle and it’s very easy to apply... you just break off the end of the capsule by twisting it off and apply with palms of your hands...The result is perfectly coated, non greasy, nice smelling hair that feels protected smooth, tangle-free and nourished with yummy hair vitamins...It doesn't give shine, it gets absorbed rather quickly.
My actual hair - damaged, porous, thin, too short for extensions.
Have you found your favorite hair oil yet?. Share below it’s name and why you love it - and I will try to review it too.
Honestly, I used the word "oil loosely" >> these days, almost all modern “oils” are filled with vitamins, nutrients, herbal essences and of course, silicones! Some people hate silicones but I’m one of those people who welcomes silicones with open arms. My hair just happens to agree with them quite well.
But of course there're people that think silicones are the devil ;) And they devote their whole lives to organic living. I'm not against organic, however I have tried organic and it simply trashed my hair. So...proof is in the pudding.
