For as long as I can remember I have been bleaching my hair blonde. My natural hair is kinda a mouse brown colour, if that is a colour. I never liked my natural colour and when I have blonde hair I feel at my most confident. But with the blonde comes a big price, of damage, frizz, breakage, split ends. This damage usually after a while caused me to dye my hair back brown for a few months in hopes to bring my hair back to health. Then a few months later- back to blonde. Soooo bad for your hair!!!
But now, I have found products that actually keep my hair healthy all year round so I can keep bleaching and curling lol. First off, you need a deep conditioning treatment..and there is only one worth purchasing (believe me I’ve tried em all!) Olaplex No. 3 has literally saved my hair!!! I put this magical stuff in my hair 1-2 times a week before I shower, you simply wet your hair ( don’t wash) and then add it into towel dried hair, leave on for as long as you can- I try for an hour if I have the time. You can also sleep in it with a shower cap! Then you just wash your hair like normal. I promise you, even after one use your hair is sooo much healthier. No clue what they put in this stuff but it’s dang good.
The next thing I recommend is a really good heat protectant. If your like me and straighten/ curl your hair everyday, you neeeeed a heat protector! Hot tools are half the reason we have damaged to our hair. Especially if you’re like me and crank it right up to the hottest temp (my hairstylist gets so mad at me! Lol) Sooo I have tried a bunch of different brands and finally found one that actually works! Alterna Caviar reconstructing leave in heat protector spray this stuff is gold! A little bit goes a long way, and I put it in my hair right after I shower and towel dry my hair. I tend to focus on the areas right around my face as those are the ones I get the most damaged and breakage.
Next let’s talk conditioner. I have spent so much money on every kind of conditioner you can think of! I have struggled to find one that actually made my hair feel super soft after a shower and actually help my hair get healthy. Drug store ones just don’t work, you gotta invest in your hair a bit. Alterna caviar reconstructing bond repair conditioner -This stuff is soooo good and my hair is literally so soft after! A little goes a long way so two little pumps is enough for your whole head. The bottle ends up lasting a long time!
These 3 products have actually saved my hair and I highly recommend!!! Let me know what you think of you end up trying them! You won’t be disappointed!
