Hair Products on Dyed/Bleached Hair Reviews + How I Treat My Hair

Current hair: medium/light blonde, thin, lightweight

ION Color Brilliance Powder Bleach Lightener with Pure White Clairol Developing Creme (20v)

• Powder ($29), Dev. Creme ($9)
• very conditioning, doesnt damage hair, lightens
• development reacts fast so you have to apply quickly (best to wrap hair in a cap because heat helps with development)
• dark roots lifted to a very light orange

Tip: 20v is healthier for your hair and takes time to process (approx. 5hrs.) but to lift your hair faster go for 30v.

Fanci-Full 49 Ultra White Minx Temporary Hair color Rinse 450ml:

• $9 for 2 (Got the "buy one get one free" steal!)
• Very messy because it's watery and smells bad
• Tones brassiness/yellows/oranges, brightens hair and adds shine, whitens platinum hair
• Very conditioning on hair and during hair wash
• Light purple solution
• Only use when you go out because since it's in liquid form, you will use a lot of the product - i've read some reviews from others and people tend to use up all of it in 2 weeks but so far my bottle is on month 2!

Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque 16oz:

• $9 (on sale)
• Smell isnt too strong (but actually covers up the smell from Fanci-Full)
• Very thick - just need to use like a bean size amount depending on your hair's length and mass
• During rinse, product made hair feel very smooth, soft, detangled
• Hair feels and looks healthier; soft and smooth

Tresemmé Nourishing Rituals Protein Renewal Crème 227g

• Cheap ($2)
• Smells nice
• Helped treat damaged hair and control frizz
• Smooth and conditioning

Hair Treatment Routine:

1. Infusium 23 Color Protector Shampoo
2. Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner
3. Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque/Tressemmé Protein Crème (Apply every 2 weeks)
4. Fanci-Full 49 Ultra White Minx Temporary Haircolor Rinse (Use when going out)
5. (Optional) Dove Nutritive Solutions Nourishing Oil Care Leave-In Smoothing Cream (On dry hair ends)

Note: I do have the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew Toning shampoo and conditioner (From Wal-Mart [it's cheaper there]) but I rarely use them just because the Fanci-Full Temporary Haircolor helps with toning. However, on special occasions I use these products to even out tones on my hair with Fanci-Full after. 

Ow. Get The Facts

Jojoba ('Hohoba')

Background Information:
Its oil was used by the Native Americans to heal wounds and sores. Today, it is most primarily used as a cosmetic product particularly for hair and skin.
It has antimicrobial properties, which prevents the growth of some bacterial and fungal microbes that harm the skin. The chemical composition of the jojoba resembles like the skin's sebum (natural oil) and so it is easily absorbed by the skin causing no allergic reactions even to sensitive skin.
The jojoba oil is composed of wax esters. The body's sebum is composed of wax esters as well, which acts as a natural moisturizer and barrier for the skin. However, wax esters decreases with age, causing skin to appear dull and wrinkly, leading to dandruff.
On the other hand, jojoba oil reduces acne. It prevents the skin from becoming too oily since its composition resembles like the skin's sebum, it causes the skin to produce less of its natural sebum, which reduces clog pores.
Jojoba oil contains many important nutrients such as vitamin E, B complex vitamins, and the minerals silicon, chromium, copper, and zinc. It also contains plenty of iodine, which is the reason why it prevents microbacterial growth.

Anyways, ever since I've used Garnier's hairdyes with jojoba oil, although it smelled really strong because of the bleach, it made my hair really soft, straight, and healthy. Really effective with the conditioner included with the hairdying products. Sooooooo softtttt. Really. It's reallyyyy addictive. Then, I went out and I found this hair product, TRESemmé. They have this new organic shampoo and conditioner product. All the different types there is! They have avocado, which is really good for your skin too, kind of resembles jojoba with its oil benefits, but then I saw coconut with jojobo and I chose that because I loveeeee coconut and jojoba is awesome. The coconut and jojoba one helps smoothens your hair while the other ones have different effects.

Jojoba is my hair's best friend.
