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...

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.

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?

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...
