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.

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...

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? 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...
