Hello! And happy Monday!
First things first, I didn't finish the site design. Not too surprised - so my new goal is to have it wrapped up by Thursday (my birthday!!). So please excuse the mess while I work - I have tons of weird sketched out place holders on the site that the moment LOL!
Second - I'm back to blogging!! I'm going to be blogging every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Here is a little breakdown of what kind of posts I'll be making:
- Monday: Outfits, Tutorials, Video discussions, Artwork, Interviews, Advice, etc. It'll be a little different every week!
- Wednesday: "My favorite things": posts about exactly that, my current favorites! Simple but something I really love to share.
- Friday: "Love Letter" posts: however their format is changing! Instead of being lists of things I like (which is now Wednesday's thing!), the Love Letter posts will be letters to you guys, my readers! I'll be writing about what is on my mind that week in hopes to start conversation and to share ideas.
Now, onto today's post!! **Disclaimer** I am not a hair stylist or expert! I'm just sharing information that my stylist gave me that worked! Everybody has different hair so if you have any major questions or concerns, ask your stylist! :)
I was inspired to make these videos because I'm about to go chop all my hair off (!!!!!) and time was ticking to fit them in before that... LOL!
Hair care tips - how to hide bleach damage on long hair with Aveda products!
In this video I go over the products I use on my hair and how I apply them to mask the damage I've done to my hair over the years from bleaching it for my hot pink look.
Products mentioned in the video
- Aveda Scalp Benefits balancing shampoo
- Aveda Damage Remedy restructuring conditioner
- Aveda Smooth Infusion glossing straightener - This is the leave in treatment I use if I'm blow trying my hair. It can also be applied if you go to bed with your hair wet, but for some it may be overkill if you also use the next product... (depends on how wavy/curly your hair is!) I sometimes use it if I have to run out the door with wet hair because it will help calm "fly aways" while it dries. :)
- Aveda Damage Remedy daily hair repair - This is the leave in product I use on dry hair. Smooth in a little bit and then flat iron or curl your hair to style!
Something to keep in mind - using these products will not "repair your hair". As soon as you stop using them, your hair will go back to being damaged. :\ This is to help hide the damage and keep your hair moisturized, smooth and protect it from heat. If your hair is extremely damaged to the point where products will not help you should consult your stylist!!
How to style your bangs or fringe to hide it as you grow it out!
In this quick little video I show you the main style I wear my hair in to get my bangs off my face and make it look like they are fully grown out. It's a short 'n sweet one! ;) I also briefly mention some other ideas I would have tried if I kept growing my bangs out - if you have any questions about those lemme know! Maybe I can draw out an explanation. Heheh.
No products necessary but...
- Hairspray can be helpful if your bangs are very short. I like to use Suave's "max hold" in 8 because it's cheap and effective.
- You will need a bobby pin (or two!) to pin the hair back. You can also use a decorative barrette if that is the kind of look you are going for!
A few additional notes
- The nail polish I'm wearing is Sally Hansen salon effects in "You're a star". I've been REALLY into the SH salon effects stickers lately, so I'll probably make a video on that soon!
- The eye make up was various stuff I was experimenting with. If I get better at make up I might start sharing more detailed info on that! T
- The necklace was a black pavé heart by Tarina Tarantino.
Hope you enjoyed the post!! Also, thanks for sticking around during my hiatus from blogging. I am looking forward to all the posts I have planned, and I hope you are looking forward to it too! ❤
