2 Week Update after bleach

It has now been two weeks after my roots have been retouched with Barex Superplex lightening powder - since then I have not changed much in my hair routine. I haven’t been shedding, and my lengths have been the same, although I will do measurements on my next post. I have been curling my hair lately - using gentle foam rollers for an hour or so in he mornings, - other than that I have received a new product - Tada!!! It’s long awaited Keratin Gold Oil by Tahe. I can’t even tell you what a disappointment it has been (I will post a separate review in the review section soon).
Basically the Hask Keratin Oil that I had had ran out on me - they come in very small ampulles - and so I want naturally for any oil to do the following:
- Since I have many broken/split hairs sort of sticking out I need the oil to be oily enough in order to smooth them down (Hair discipline is not an easy task)
- Not to be too perfumed, as I get allergies
-To soften and moisturize my hair
-To prevent breakage, and make Hair stronger

What I got with Tahe Keratin Gold in short:
- no hair discipline
- heavy perfume
- rougher, harder, dryer Hair that’s prone to breakage
-Hair feels more fuller/thicker

In short Tahe disappointed me because it didn’t soften, and it wasn’t a very oily oil at all. In fact it’s more of a serum even though it’s definitely oil coming out of dispenser!. (See pics).
However I long for softness, shine, hair discipline (only Hask Keratin is able to do it for me at the moment), and I don’t like for my hair Oil to be “too light”. I have very thin damaged porous hair that needs its moisture!. Otherwise I would be washing it every day!. Right now I am skipping Tahe Gold and using Tigi oil. Both oils are compared in my Review page - Tigi oil is OK, an oil with B-. Tahe Keratin Gold gets only a C from me...

February update: new hair products. Keep your hair healthy and damage-free~

Its now been around 1 month since my last update. I have bleached my hair again and hardly lost any volume at all with the weekly treatment regiment that I wrote in my earlier posts: keratin treatments have been a life saver. (As I tend to lose hair on week 3 post-bleaching, because it’s highly porous, damaged and thin). Also I have finally found an ideal hair oil for me: after so many failures, I'm finally happy with this champion in hair taming: welcome KERASTASE ULTIME beautifying oil. Although pricey, it had amazing beautifying effect on my hair: it makes it "disciplined", so that it lies as one sheet of shiny, split-end-free, frizz-free, long hair with no greasiness or stickiness at all!!! Call me crazy but my hair looks longer with it, due to a strange straightening effect from it. Adding a little bit of shine (very subtle, see picture), and it also adds volume. Hair becomes stronger, hardly any hair fall. Hair stays clean longer, I...

FIVE Useful Tips for healthier hair TODAY. Say "No" to scissors!

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 force...

Doing Olaplex treatment today...Olaplex, revealed

OK so I got Olaplex today, and also ordered L’oreal Pro Fiber serum (since I have yet to find a leave in that doesn’t make my hair dirty). And I know I was supposed to wait til next week to do it as I am doing weekly treatments basically based on which week it is after bleach - but I couldn’t wait!. I DID it, leaving it overnight!. I woke up to wonderfully soft, voluminous Hair!.. I was very pleased 😀 I know I was suppose to leave it for a “minimum of 20 minutes” but left it all night under the cap, here is my hair with no oils or anything at all after: it feels like “real hair” again!.. Not the usual straw wires. Also...Boy, have I got for you some juicy tea...a revolutionary conspiracy theory about Olaplex!!!. What is Olaplex #1 we all know... But what about Olaplex 2? And Olaplex 3? What sourcery is this?. Basically a liquid that we all call “number 2”, could be simply a mix of conditioner PLUS number 1. And as far as number 3 goes - you already know whe...
