Happy New Year to you, to meeee ✨
Felt like coming to share a little something. Cause I feel like this blog help me a lot when I need to remember some old routines 😁
Didn't have the best year ending, this reminds me 2018, literally had the same issues...by issue I mean HAIR.
Let me explain : This summer I had a good hair change. Had some dream blond highlights as you can see :
My hair dresser did exactly what I've asked for. I was super happy with it but you know me...I am so impatient and always change my mind and make some silly decisions...My hair was in perfect condition wether it was the texture or the colour.
By september, I've decided to to dye everything dark brown and this is the color that I got :
It wasn't bad, but little by little the color started fading with time. I didn't like that washed off color. Looking back, it wasn't that bad but once again, I was impatient 🥲 and decided to dye my hair jet black by November with a cheap dye 💀 :
This was the worst dye I've ever tried. It damaged my hair sooo badly. I swear my hair was breaking for weeks. And that's the color I got :
I'm not gonna lie, it's the begginning, I loved it and embraced the change. But one thing you have to have in mind is that I didn't have black years in years. I've been dying my hair dark brown for a good 15 years now 😮. So I'm almost not used to get my hair this dark. Even my natural hair is not that dark. So little by little, I've started not liking it so much...S
Again I needed to fix that.
So I went for a Color B4 🫣
Not the best idea cause my hair was not in good condition. Adding this wouldn't help.
But good news : They have changed the formula. Now it's less strong. But as a consequence, I had to do it a good 3 times to make the black hair color fade. It kinda wasted my end of 2025. For some reasons, not having the hair that I like upsets me a lot ☹️.
So this is the color that I got :
This wasn't black anymore but a weird dark brown with some highlights that I didn't like. I swear I've tried to like it so bad, but something was off and I didn't like it. The problem was still there...
So I've decied to stop doing this by myself and calling my hairdresser to fix this mess (I should have done it since the beginning...).
I asked her for my 2019 highlights and I got something that I finally like 🫣
I was quite happy with the color. But I'm not gonna lie, it kinda damagaged my hair. Obviously it's bleach...not the best thing and you can see a little bit of dryness.
So even if I love the result, I needed to hydrate my hair ASAP.
I have decieded to get L'Oréal Bond repair set that is said to be an OLAPLEX dupe :
And I was pleasantly surprised 😮
This changed my hair texture and quickly made it softer, stronger and healthier. The result was instant. It's been 2 days that I've been using it and it looks good. I need to check how long that hydration would last on my hair. And if it does, hands down. I will update soon about it.
I feel like the key product in this trio is the pre-shampoo. I had no idea this existed. But I could feel it made a true difference in my hair and after I've shampooed it, my hair felt soft and repaired.
I can't wait to see the long term result.
But you can see on this new picture, that my hair looks much better :
It may not look obvious here but trust me, I feel a huge difference. I will keep using that L'Oréal routine and cut my hair in a couple of weeks. I think a haircut will make a big difference as well.
Can't wait to get my healthy hair back.
I will keep you updated.
