Recover damaged hair

My hair were very damaged from heat and color treatment. I used these 6 steps to recover my hair. The hair are not fully recovered yet but they improved a lot since I started this treatment two months ago. This is a cheap and effective way to recover your hair.

There are few tips how you van recover your damaged hair:

1. Clean up your hair before starting hair recovery process.
Before starting any kind of hair treatment you need to clean your hair from all the hair products you use. Use clarifying shampoo to clear up your hair so that your hair could absorb the treatment products better.
2. Stop using heat.
Use heat on your hair as much as possible. Discover hairstyles without heat (buns, braids, ponytail and so much more..)
3. Don't wash your hair everyday.
Washing hair everyday dries out them. Wash your hair only when they need to bee washed - when they get oily or doesn't look nice anymore. I would recommend to wash your hair at least every other day.
4. Don't use styling products.
Use as less as possible hair styling products because they dry out hair. If you do use them rinse your hair with shampoo twice to make sure that all the products are washed of.
5. Use natural oil.
Use natural cold extraction virgin oil (recommended - Jojoba oil) as a mask before rinsing your hair. Apply the oil on all the hair and leave it for as long as you can (recommended - all night). The effect will not be instant but if you use it regularly the hair will recover in no time. I personally recommend to use this mask every time you rinse your hair until they recover. After the hair condition gets better use this mask once a week.
6. Choose a right shampoo.
Use a shampoo that does not contain Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLS) - it dries hair a lot and washes of the hair color faster. The shampoos that doesn't contain SLS are usually natural and doesn't contain other chemical component.

Additional tips:

• If your hair is very heavily damaged you gonna have to cut the ends or more to keep the rest of your hair healthy.
• Don't dye your hair very often. If you do - only touch up roots so that the ends would't be damaged more.

Colour Boost shampoo

In my last article I wrote that i dyed my hair copper color. It washes up very fast and my hair is pretty long so its expensive to dye them every few weeks.. So, today i spotted a new product in a beauty shop - Henna Plus Colour Boost shampoo.
It is a natural hair coloring shampoo. It comes in varies colors and is natural.










Shampoo description that i found in http://www.beautynaturals.com/product.asp?grp=hs-15 :

Its unique Ammonia and Peroxide free formula with Colour Match technology revives your hair colour and camouflages the first grey hairs and outgrowth.

No PPD.

The shampoo is pretty expensive too - beautynaturals.com says the price is  £ 11.50 (the price is similar in the shop i saw it too). But if u think, the price is high but it's not for one-time use, u will use it for a month ore two. So the price is not so high. 

So, I saw this shampoo and I really liked the description so i bought it (copper color) . 

It looks like this: 

 As u can see, the color is pretty dark. The smell is very nice and natural.

Haven't used it yet, but I will write how it went after trying.

______________________________________________

After using it I can say that it's not that good. Made my hair very dry. But the color was really very nice so if you want to keep your hair color fresh and nice I would recommend this product (just make sure you moisturize your hair well after).
Washes out after about 3 times.

Overall:  ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ 3/5

L'oreal sublime mousse review

I recently changed my hair color from dark chocolate to copper red. used to dye hair with this color: 

It was really dark but nice color. By the way, these hair dye are really good, i used them for about a year and tried few different colors and i was very satisfied with the result. 

So, i got bored from dark hair and decided to experiment with my look a little. I dyed my hair with this color few weeks ago : 

My hair became lighter, but the color wasn't what i expected. It says 'flaming copper' on the package, but the color i got was dark red. The dying it self was easy, a lot easier then with usual hair dye and the hair wasn't damaged any more then with a usual hair dye.

So, after few hair wash color changed completely. It became more like on the package and it was really nice. The color washed up pretty quick so i dyed hair once again with the same color again after a week.. 

Now my hair color is something between copper and red.

What more i can say about L'oreal sublime mousse? 

The colors a lot darker then its showed on a package (my own experience and other people reviews). It makes hair really dry, but not dryer then any other hair dye i used. I plan to use it again because i can't find any other hair dye that would have similar color as this one.
