Brown (April)
Initially, I made the mistake that internet users and psychologists advise against: I attempted to sit on two chairs at once. I will also get a light hair color so as not to degrade the quality.
The outcome of this repulsive compromise, much like all the others, was a color I vehemently referred to as brown even though it is actually red.
I had to wash off the Lazartigue 5.35 dye, which was tinted in January and lightened with high oxide to level 8 using Mone brand paint, so I didn’t get it right away.
I can’t tell you the technical details because I performed every procedure in the salon while putting my trust in the master.
I can only say that, despite my initial misgivings about the color, I was able to maintain the quality of my hair almost exactly as it was. Although it suits me well, it has proven to be completely worthless in life and in terms of how I view myself.
I think that when coloring, quality should come second. The main objective should be to match the color to one’s inner emotions.
Thus, after spending precisely twenty days with him, I approached the master and instructed him to cease his celebration immediately, since he would now lighten me by ten instead of toning the roots, which requires thirty minutes of work. and took a seat in the chair with pride.
The coveted blonde
Selecting Kaaral paint in shade 10.0 (natural series), I prepared to bid my hair farewell. Because washing, toning, and powder lightening your hair in less than three weeks will definitely ruin it.
But I took a chance because I believed in myself and didn’t want to see even more brown in the mirror. Furthermore, what do you know? Everything worked out perfectly!
The color turned out beautifully, going really well with my inner self and how I look.
Problems of blonde
But to what extent the quality declined.
- the hair thinned out to the state of a cobweb, despite the fact that the original was impressively thick. According to my estimates, the hair (a single hair) became thinner by about 8 times
- tried to appear split
- tried to appear brittleness
- hair began to get tangled
- appeared dryness.
Why have two points been "tried"? Because this time, I prevented any of these processes from becoming serious by being ready with armor-piercing care.
I also toned and lightened the grown roots, and I have been going around looking blonde for the past four weeks. And I don’t have any issues, other than thinning from severe impacts, for which there is no remedy.
Prior to discussing the techniques and tools I employ, however, I would like to draw attention to a problem that plagues nearly every blonde (particularly those who did not use the technique): yellow spots down the length of the hair, which are brought on by premature lightening of the roots.
Frequently, I observe that girls who go blonde eventually develop yellow ring stripes three to five centimeters away from their roots. This results from neglecting to address the roots at the appropriate time.
Any hairstylist (as well as online guides) will advise you to dye the roots when they grow one centimeter or more. In other words, during the course of 2.5–4 weeks.
Which naturally affects time and money. And the women attempt to ignore it because they believe it will work. As someone who has watched and dealt with blondes, I can say with confidence that it won’t work and that it will be awful. Blond, regrettably, is pricey on all fronts.
Although a well-groomed blonde may seem expensive, the expense is significant.
For this reason, as soon as I’m done coloring, I register for the next one. So that when I did manage to carve out a few hours, it wasn’t because I didn’t plan ahead of time, the time went by too quickly, or the hairdresser was busy. Everything ought to be apparent.
Timely root coloring is the first milestone for a stunning blond. Everything else is meaningless without it.
Blonde cosmetics
So what’s in my cosmetic set is:
- Shampoo for colored hair
- Conditioners for colored hair and more
- Masks and ampoules of various effects
- Scalp products
- Leave-in products
- Night care products.
Now, more about every item.
Shampoo
I used the same shampoos—without the label that said "for colored hair"—during the first cycle, which lasted from the first coloring to the first lightening of the newly grown roots. The color faded, and the idea proved to be a bad one.
I currently only own one colored hair shampoo, "Chi color nurture," and I get rid of the others in some way. Only by mid-June will I be able to predict how it will behave, but I have faith in the Chi brand, so hopefully everything works out.
There’s just one shampoo I own because
- My shade is not platinum (although it is cold) and I do not need neutralization from purple shampoo,
not particularly affecting anything, in my opinion. - After lightening, the frequency of washing decreased from once every two days to once every 4-5 days – so one bottle will last me a long time.
- My skin does not need to alternate shampoos.
Conditioners
These days, I use the amazing Kerastase Reflection milk that I got as part of the Secret Santa the most!
Preserves color, untangles, and saturates hair—all in all, at its best as usual. As I have already used it for a considerable amount of time and found it to be very beneficial, this product is undoubtedly one of those where "stability is a sign of skill."
I now use a purple conditioner from Oribe once every two weeks as part of my hair care regimen. I won’t do it again when it runs out because, generally speaking, I don’t see the need to use it because they mixed a toning mask and purple products for me to maintain the color.
To be completely honest, I’m still unsure about how and how often to use conditioners. Although the realism of such an approach to bleached hair still raises doubts, I had a clear requirement for the mask to have conditioning properties in relation to natural hair.
I’m experimenting with various plans right now, but I can’t say that I’ve made up my mind. Instead, I tend to believe that masks still require conditioner, though it’s possible that my mask wasn’t very good.
I want to take another look at Kerastase’s blond products in the far future when I have a lot more makeup, but that won’t happen anytime soon.
Masks
Almost all masks that work well on natural hair stopped working on bleached hair.
I don’t currently own any masks that I would be happy with the outcome of. I make up for this by giving them a lot of leave-in care and frantically looking for combinations (I should be able to find them by the end of the year if I wash about 1.5 times a week).
Even so, my hair does not break or split and feels nice to the touch, even though I don’t get the "wow" effect. This indicates that masks do, at least somewhat, function.
One of the biggest letdowns was the recently acquired Kevin Murphy mask; it did not provide the anticipated moisture, and my dried hair was extremely tangled.
Scalp products
This is not a real photo from a first aid course; the hair just so happens to lay down beautifully on it.)
Yes, it’s brightening, but it’s important to tend to the roots.
Furthermore, since the roots will now be exposed to aggressive influences for a long time (both those that have already grown and the part sitting inside will be stressed by the powder on the head), I am currently interested in both growth-stimulating products (I have never found anything better than a compliment with pepper).
For this reason, I think it’s critical that blondes use extra calming and strengthening products for their scalps.
It’s crucial to keep in mind that these products, in general, are preventive in nature; that is, their effects will become apparent when you stop using them rather than when you use them.
This is not the same as "withdrawal syndrome"; rather, we are solving the issue of "growing strong roots that will not break off from bleaching," not the problem of encouraging growth.
There are still unanswered questions regarding scalp peels and scrubs—namely, how often to use them and whether they are worth the trouble. I currently use them once a month, following two weeks of root coloring.
Leave-in products
*Taking a picture of my hair’s ends was a difficult task because of my relatively short hair.
Tangling and dryness are the next differences I noticed between bleached and natural hair, after the awful thinning.
Before, I had no idea what it meant to say "hair is tangled" because all of the tangles were very manageable to comb through with your fingers, and the dryness was more akin to "finding fault."
Now, though, noweeeeeeeeeee. In the event that Kerastase Reflection is not used, combing your hair will be nearly impossible without a spray; instead, you will need to stand and use your fingers to separate each strand. If the mask was not completely effective, your hair will also feel rough to the touch.
I use the following sandwich of leave-in products to solve this problem—and so far, quite successfully:
- Two-phase serum from Shu Uemura, on which, it seems to me, all my quality is based, since it strengthens hair very well and softens it even better. A long time ago I had a similar serum from Kerastase, so I can confidently say that two-phase serums for damaged hair are an incredibly effective product that can maintain what is left.
- Spray (currently from Kevin Murphy, but when it runs out – I will not repeat because of insufficient quality of untangling and a plastic shine) I apply to 80% dry hair to
make it easierensure combing. - Shu Uemura finishing oil to protect against mechanical damage, to supplement the hair with nutrients (everything literally falls into very porous hair after bleaching, so there has never been even a hint of overfeeding) and to add shine if I skipped the spray stage.
I’ve expressed my admiration for leave-in treatment on numerous occasions and still maintain that it’s essential for all hair types. However, if we can achieve flawless hair on natural hair (with the correct choice of leave-in products), then it becomes a crucial component on bleached hair, without which everything will fall apart.
I view leave-in products as a necessary component of my care regimen because they prevented severe brittleness, split ends, and dry ends on their own.
Possess severely damaged hair that nearly never breaks and doesn’t split—this is another accomplishment that falls under this funding category.
Night care
I was able to grow long, healthy natural hair first because of night care, which is a subspecies of indelible care. Now, I support the blond in maintaining its health.
Both night products for the scalp and specialized (or not) products for the length are included in night care. I apply an extra dose of indelible oil before going to bed if I have a special nighttime remedy.
There are two kinds of night care: washing your hair is necessary afterward (all means for the scalp, the Balmain serum for night restoration), or you can wake up, comb your hair, and go (night serum Kurastase, Shu Uemura, simply indelible oils).
I just adore the second category’s products, but I don’t really like those in the first. At the moment, Shu Uemura’s night serum is my top pick in this category. One press is actually sufficient for my length; the portion size is roughly the size of a hazelnut, and I can feel the hair softening right away.
I always wake up with soft, crumbly hair that is free of creases and other issues because the feeling of the oil is similar to that of Vieso (which is sadly also not the most accessible brand).
Generally speaking, I also advise everyone to use night products (though not those made by Kerastase, as I believe they failed in this area).
To summarize
It might appear that I said nothing coherent about makeup, such as I’m not sure about this or that. Nevertheless, given the abundance of factors, it is regrettably very slow to adjust makeup and comprehend the new requirements for hair.
It’s nice to be able to write a post about the perfect product (like the Balmain argan elixir, for instance), which does this and that and maybe doesn’t make the family money, but most of the time that goes into selecting care is exactly in the state of "And it works? And why does it function? And with what does it function? And it functions well because it complements this or because it is cool in and of itself?"
I’ve also never been able to omit this particular step.
But even with a lot of miscommunications, my hair keeps getting better every month, which indicates that you can succeed even with disorganized care if you don’t have a thorough grasp of the strategies and tactics.
