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 🌝 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!. 😳

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)

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...
