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...

January Hair

It’s January, happy New Year to all Hair maniacs across the globe!. I’m evaluating/measuring my hair. It’s still as damaged as can be - my main gripe is I lost crazy amount of volume to breakage in the fall (which you can see, there are stubs all over my hair not just the ends). So here goes - Hair freshly washed with egg yolk+yogurt+rosemary Essential Oil mix and mask Kaaral Hydra mixed with 1 teaspoon of Keratin P mask applied for an hour, followed by conditioner. Did my hair receive some sweet loving or what?. ;) After that, I blow dried with cool air and applied hair vitamins “Bali Secret” plus oil by Tigi S Factor true lasting color.: none of them give me shine or combat flyaways. The best tool for flyaways (that I personally know of) is Keratin Oil by Hask - it really tames the undisciplined hair that sticks out with no reason or rhyme. As far an inches I am definitely noticing some growth this month! New mask: this month I was sent a free trial of Fanola Restru...

Hair Lightening at home with professional bleach powder: HOW TO LIGHTEN YOUR HAIR + PHOTO

Hello everybody, Today I want to share with you my experience of lightening my hair using professional bleaching powder by Barex called Superplex: this powder is a fantastic innovative product from Italy offering a terrific built-in protection for hair shaft - imagine adding Olaplex to your regular powder but without all the hassle - the ingredient is fully disclosed to be a “Polyamino Sugar Condensate”, a blend of sugars and proteins made to prevent breakage. The seller included many free samples of Italian hair products so I’m delighted that I will have a few more products to review in the next few days. The developer I chose was a 50/50 mix of volume 20 and volume 10: so around vol.15 or 4,5% peroxide content. According to instructions printed on the tub, we are to mix 1:2 ratio of white powder to developer, which I followed. How Much Product? For my shoulder length hair I took 2 scoops powder (30 ml scoop x2) and 4 scoops developer. I think longer hair would need double tha...

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...
