Ordered/New Products

This page is for stuff I ordered/ currently on their way to me.
- Olaplex - will be adding this into my next service together WITH (combining) with Brazilian Bond B3. I have been using B.B. for 6 months now. I have nothing bad to say about it, except that I have made some mistakes (go to my Mistakes page to learn more) which cost me the health of my hair. No amount of Olaplex can save you from egregious mistakes that you can make on your journey of being a self taught Colorist . And that’s just a cold hard fact.
- Superplex. This is a new bleach by Barex which is suppose to be a “superbleach”. The only superbleach that I know of, and have been using successfully using for 6 months, is Joico Verolight. This bleach is the ONLY bleach that can get me from level 5 to 10 in 1 easy step. No yellow roots to speak of!. But I got suckered by YouTube videos by some vloggers, and this is tauted to be the new new superbleach that already has Olaplex-like product in it. So it’s suppose to “respect hair integrity”.  I should receive this baby on January 25.
- Schwarzkopf Keratin Treatment Bonacure - in black jar. This baby is coming to me from eBay and it’s been now over a month of waiting now :(. The black jar has been discontinued, so I’m literally buying out the last of any available stock. The “new and improved formula” is actually much weaker and diluted version of the original: they are packaged in black and pink packaging now. I’m calling the Black Jar the holy grail against Hair breakage. If your hair is breaking this is “IT”, the cure. You apply is for 1-2 hrs under the cap or even overnight once a week for complete hair recovery. This treatment actually heals hair like MEDICINE. it’s not a Conditioner for moisturizing your hair. For moisture I recommend HYDRA by Kaaral (intensive mask that will change your life), and Tigi Ressurrection Conditioner in a bright red bottle.

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...
