Temporary Review

Yeah, I haven't updated in a while. I've been kinda busy, off living a life and dealing with drama and blah blah blah. what's important is that I have a PRODUCT REVIEW.

Jerome Russell B-Wild temporary spray in colors
I bought one of every bright color they had at my local Walgreene's, The purple, the blue, and the green. I'll review them in order that I sprayed them into my hair.


Purple:
The purple wasn't NEARLY as vibrant as I thought it would be, given the color it showed on the bottle. It was fairly light with slight pink tones on my blond bangs and my natural hair color on the sides, but it was much darker over the the black in my mohawk. It also probably left the least amount of "dust" floating around in the air after use. Washed right out with one shampoo



Green:
The green was shown as much darker on the bottle than what it showed up. The color I got was a bright day-glow neon green. I loved it. It showed up about the same color on both the black and blond sections of my hair, which is good. This color seemed to get EVERYWHERE though. It wasn't much of a problem, it came right off if you wiped it with a wet towel regardless of if it were on your skin or all over the bathroom sink. Washed right out of my hair with one shampoo.
Blue:
The blue color was really dark compared to the color shown on the bottle (which is odd, because the rest of the colors seemed consistently lighter) and in certain lighting it looked like it was more of a blue tint over black hair, but it showed up like that over the blond as well, so the consistency was at least good. This one probably produced the most "dust" of all of them. Either be in a well ventilated room when doing this or prepare to have blue show up when you blow your nose (yes, I'm seriously.) It didn't really do any damage to my breathing or anything, it was just there. I actually have pretty sensitive nose/breathing and it didn't do me any harm. This also washed right out with one little shampoo.
The red color I used in the very bottom of the mohawk, and on the small chunk of hair to the left was left over from Halloween a few years back. I'm not even sure what brand it is. It really was more of an auburn than a bright red. When I figure out what brand it is, I'll post a review.

Happy Dying :)

Two must have hair products.

I'm starting to wish I didn't work at a fast food restaurant just so that I didn't HAVE to shampoo my hair every day (among other reasons...)

I'll post pictures of my new hair when I get some good ones, but It's very painful for me to have only had my hair colored a certain way for a WEEK and already need to touch it up. I got some custom mixed color in it though, so I'm dying to share it. I just need GOOD pictures.

On a bright note, I've got some product to recommend.

Hair looking dull? Dry? limp? Don't want to spend all your money on products that promise to heal your dry and heat damaged hair just for it to have no more effect that conditioner?

I got two products for this.


1. Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrient Spray:
I use this obsessively. Literally, I've been using it for a month and I've gone through almost a whole bottle. But it's only about $5, so it's alright. If you're hair is looking a little dull or limp (or, if you have really short hair and it set funny while you were sleeping) you just spray it down with this and you have an instant healthy natural looking shine. I'm not sure about it's actual "hair healing' qualities, but your hair instantly be given more life. I probably use it 2 or three times a day (when I wake up, after work, sometimes after my shower.) As far as I'm aware, this also does no damage to unnatural hair colors.

2. Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection
I've only been using this for about a week or so. I'm already in love with it. Two drops after my shower on damp hair, and even when I blow dry AND straighten my hair it still keeps a lot of its softness. Remember how I was saying my stylist's razor was a bit dull and it left the ends of my hair feeling rough? When I have this you can't even tell. It's like having silk for hair. Yes, I still use my normal thermal protection, but I tend to find that it's a little lacking when I need to blowdry my hair. THIS makes up for it. I'm not sure about any effects it may have on unnatural colored hair dyes (due to pretty much baking it into your hair) but if I notice anything I'll be sure to update.

I'm still looking for the PERFECT non-dye removing shampoo.


That is all for now. I'll get back to you all with my beautiful new hair creation soon.

Happy Dyings XoXo,

Go Bold

Something that is very important for any hair experimenter is a hair stylist that gets you. I don't usually have "people." I rarely go to the same place for the same thing, or even buy the same product twice. But right now, I think I've found a stylist.

I sat myself down in the chair. I told her "do anything you. I want something different. Do whatever you feel will look good." and instead of giving me a normal cut, I got something fun, asymmetrical, and easy as hell to take care of. The back is a little poofy in the pictures, because I didn't style it myself (she blew it dry before I left, and it floofed) but wow, I never in my life thought I'd do something so short. I never felt like I'd pull off such a short look.

4 years ago, I wouldn't' have even been daring enough to to show so much of my face shape. I love it. I feel renewed. I feel bolder.

I think I've found myself a stylist :)

Happy Dyings :)

(I may be adding some purple to this when I touch it up)
