Hair Care

I will be posting about tips and tricks along with products on how to help your hair recover from too much heat being used on it or being coloured/ bleached many times.

As with many people I loved changing my hair colour as often as I could, but what I didn’t consider is the damage it would cause my hair. Having long hair makes colouring even worse because when it does become damaged you don’t want to cut it off! Unfortunately one of the main steps to make your hair healthy again and to allow it to grow you have to have trims every few months. 

Three years ago I bleached all my hair! Biggest mistake I ever made.  It caused it to become extremely dry and brittle, I had so many split ends it was making my hair look terrible. So I done what most people with long hair dread, I cut my hair short.

I began searching for products which will bring life back into my hair and also ways I can make my hair grow faster. I found many reviews and videos saying castor oil helps with hair growth. For me it did work and I did see results. Even though my hair is back to being healthy I still use castor oil as part of my hair care routine.

Castor oil has anti bacterial and anti inflammatory properties so it can be used if you have dandruff, for me I used it due to it being rich in proteins, vitamin E and omega 6 fatty acids. Due to castor oil having a very thick consistency I mix it with coconut oil and apply to the roots and the rest of my hair once or twice a week. I keep it in my hair for at least 1-2 hours. Then wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner. 

Apart from castor oil, I tried many hair masks to help my hair stay “calm” as I like to call it. The best mask I used when my hair was at its worst is the Kérastase Nutritive Masque Magistral. I used it twice a week and it made my hair feel so soft and frizz free!
