Hair repair!

My hair went from this:

To this:

(I don't think this photo is doing the hair colour justice, my hair is a lighter caramel colour.)

I never really got that excited about hair products until I went lighter for the first time in my life. ..then all of a sudden, hair products were ruling my life and my bathroom bench space.  I committed a cardinal hair sin and didn’t tell my hairdresser that my hair had previously been chemically straightened before going lighter (I knew they would refuse to lighten it had I said anything!). Needless to say, my hair was extremely frail. Now I have bucket loads of hair products – moisturising, high protein, leave in, hair mask...you name it, I have it! I am happy to report though, thanks to the treatments I have been using weekly, my hair feels like it is back to its healthy self even though I’ve taken it to hair hell and back.

My ABSOLUTE favourite product that I have discovered since going lighter would have to be Wella’s SP Repair Mask. Although the instructions say to leave it on for 5 minutes, I put it in my hair, sit down and watch television for half an hour to an hour, and then wash it out. My hair is left feeling like silk. I cannot stop brushing my fingers through my hair because of how soft it is post-mask! I cannot recommend this product enough, especially if your hair is damaged from hair straightners / blowdrying / colouring etc.
