I have yet to talk about my new hair, my exciting white/gray/platinum hair. I have been wanting to do this for the longest time, and finally had it done. And I could not be happier. But as I've said: hair is an investment. I will go through the process of how it was done, then go through some of the products i use to keep it's ice cold appearance.
The process:
So I sat in the chair for 4 HOURS when I got my hair done. First they put bleach all over my head. I know what your thinking, ARE YOU INSANE?? Nope. And my hair girl sure as hell isn't either. She used special Olaplex treatments. I highly recommend going to a salon that uses this product, because my hair is still intact after an all over bleach, thanks to Olaplex. So after the bleach, we did an Olaplex treatment. Then we toned. A toner is a necessity. You tone you hair in order to get the highlighter yellow color out of your bleached hair. Creating the white/gray desired color.
So you just got your hair done, and you paid a pretty penny for your gorgeous locks. They look amazing when you walk out of the salon, but keep in mind what you are going to be doing in order to keep them looking so great.
At home care:
A purple shampoo is probably the most important thing to have. Im using this one from Fudge Urban. I have used different ones in the past which were great. This is one i have been using at the moment. It leaves my hair feeling a little bit softer than what the others do in the past. I actually mix it with my Mane and Tail shampoo so I can use it more often than just every other day like I used to do with other purple shampoos.
I also did an at home toner not to long ago and I was really pleased with how it turned out. It was an easy process, easy to apply, overall I was happy with it.I used the shade T14, pale ash blonde. So i do recommend it. I used this one for Wella. If you go to Sallys, there are lots of other toners. I had just heard a few good reviews on this one so i gave it a try. So I will always be open to new ways to take care if this hair.
Hopefully this was educational to a few of you who are blonder are thinking of going blonde!
until next time,
Kacie.
