STEPHANIE1702: #haircare

Hello everyone how are you all this evening?

As you can tell by the title this blog post is going to be about my hair care routine. I have quite long hair that is very thick at the top of my scalp but very thin at the bottom, my hair is now my own natural brunette hair colour about 3 years ago I had very short thin blonde hair until I decided one morning that I was going to dye it back to my natural hair colour. Personally i think my hair is a lot more healthier than when it was blonde I found that it looked very dry and frizzy.

Since dying my hair back to my natural colour I find that it is a lot more manageable I can leave my hair 2-3 days before needing to wash it where as before when I have my blonde hair I had to wash it twice a day just to be able to style it. That being said I now hardly do any heat styling to it. I mostly have a day with my hair down either straight or curly and 1 or 2 days with my hair up in a pony tail or a top not bun.

Thats the kind of short back story to my hair now for the routine:-

Before I wash my hair I will always brush it first as my hair can be quite knotty, when washing my hair I tend to wash it with shampoo twice, my hair can be quite greasy and the 2nd wash will usually make it feel clean as the first time does not take that feeling of being heavy and greasy away. The products I have been using is the Toni and Guy Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner

recently I personally don't like it I use to use it when I first went back to brown but I really don't like it I am using it up, I can do a review on this shampoo and conditioner just leave a message in the comments. Then I follow up with the conditioner and brush it through with a wide tooth comb and rinse it out.

When drying my hair I like to use a heat protectant the one I have currently been using is the Got2Be Guardian Angel 220ºC Heat Protectant but personally I find that all heat protectants are as soon as each other so I am not too fussy when it come to choosing one, As my hair is so long I find that when drying the way I have the best result is to just crazy dry it by flipping my hair forward and don't take too much effort when doing it. I don't particularly use a brush when drying my hair I will mostly use my Tangle Teezer I did a review on this a few years ago you can read it here.

As I said before I don't really do much heat styling to my hair the only styling that I do it straightening or curly. Both products that I use are from the brand GHD I have the wide straighteners I find that with them being a bit wider I can straighten a larger area than with the thin plates. The curling tongs that I use is the GHD Curve Soft Curl Tong I will only really use this when I either have time or if I am going out as I find curling my hair is very time consuming when I finish curling my hair I will tend to spray it with Toni and Guy hairspray.

So everyone that is my hair care routine I hope that you enjoyed reading about my personal hair story, If you would like me to do a review on the Toni and Guy shampoo and conditioner then please do let me know in the comments.
