4 weeks update - first week of February for my hair

...OK guys - it’s almost that time of month! This is the week of Valentines day(on Thursday), and that’s when I scheduled to not only bleach but do a haircut for my hair. The procedure of cutting your hair on a growing Moon - also during Moon ๐ŸŒ in specific “hair growing signs” : Taurus , Virgo and Leo - is suppose to “rocket-launch” my hair growth to new galactic  heights!..On this years’ Valentines it will be Leo Moon - which should provoke wild growth!...so I’m really excited to test that theory out. I hope this gives hope and inspires other “hair challenged” beauties everywhere in the world!.

Things I have tried this week: Pantene Pro V gold series “Rescue Shot” ampules. What a wonderful product!!! It made my hair incredibly soft, to the point that I couldn’t stop touching it :) It contains glutamic acid (whatever that means), and I was absolutely shocked at the difference it made in my hair for just $6!. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Another new item for this week is a Hair Oil from L’oreal “Mythic Oil” - haute radiance with cranberry and argan oils. I have heard on Hair forums that the original formula with apricot and grape seed oils is “absolutely the best”. This version of the oil, for me, wasn’t as bad as Tahe Gold Keratin oil - but I wasn’t thrilled either. On the scale 1-10, Tahe scores 1 and Mythic Oil scores 5 (completely average, ho-hum). To me it is just too oily / you have to be careful applying it. Because it’s not drying my hair to the point of it falling out (like Tahe did), so at least it deserves room on my shelf. It’s not “the ideal oil” for me - so my search continues on :)

Other thoughts this week: I decided to divide my weeks after bleaching into 4:
1.Week 1: Keratin and Protein treatment
2.Week 2. Olaplex Treatment.
3.Third week: Oil treatment - one night with an oil mask during this week to fully hydrate.
4.Fourth week: Amploule Treatment. Right now I have Pantene which I’m head over heels in love with. But will be trying more ampoules for sure from now on!.. on my list are Prismax, Kaaral Reale, and others.
5.The fifth week is my week of bleaching. I’m leaning towards oil treatment again during the week- one night before bleaching.


Now for the final words of this post, I’m going to post measurements :11,5 in the front and 15” in the back.
Now switching to centimeters: 29 cm in the front and 39 cm in the back.


This picture was taken at night under a horrible warm house lightening. :) 

In this daytime photo my hair is still damp and so just applied Thermal design Foam by Joico. (So to hold my curls)

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 ๐Ÿ˜€    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...

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...
