I'm blonde..After care for bleached hair.

Hello my loveys!
If you had seen my last post, you will know that I very bravely decided to go blonde!
which I've been wanting to do for a while now...
actually ever since the hills started, I wanted Lauren Conrad's hair so so bad.
But going blonde isn't easy..as I said Ive been wanting my hair blonde since the hills started..and I've only just got there.
well.. dying my hair black then dark brown didn't speed up the process I guess.
My natural hair colour is a mousey brown, on the verge of a dirty blonde, its very light, but i haven't seen that colour since i started dyeing it, (first colour i ever went was black, when i was 16!)
Before having my hair bleached on Friday, my hair was pretty light, almost all the dark brown hair dye had faded. It wasnt a nice colour tho.
So what did I have done?
I had bleach applied to my hair, in little section's, which was then put in foils.
Then after waiting over a hour, I had it rinsed out, then the lady applied a toner...
and that's it! You'll see the out come at the end of this post :) or if your inpatient, you can scroll down now!


Now.. aftercare..I knew that the bleach would totally wreck my hair,which is the only downfall of going blonde the bleach way.
My hair was in great condition before hand, so there wasn't any breakage.
But yes my hair is dry/damaged. Booooo :(
For those who commented on my last post helping me with products for blonde hair, thank you so so much, you helped me alot!

I didn't have the money to splash out on a expensive purple shampoo so I picked these up in boots...

They cost me £1.99 each, and the lady in boots told me its very popular.
I was tempted to buy John frieda sheer blonde renew shampoo and conditioner, but thought id opt for the cheaper version just to see how it works.
I used it today for the first time and my hair does seem alot brighter!
But its still early days.
For those who don't know, the purple shampoo is to tone down the yellow and brassy tones in blonde hair.

Deep Conditioning....

I couldn't wait to wash my hair the next day.
I didn't have a treatment put on my hair after having it done.. so my hair was wanting some TLC!
I used Aussies miracle moist shampoo then used the Aussies 3 minute miracle reconstructor for about half an hour with my hair wrapped up in a towel.
On Sunday I went to a car boot, where thres a stall that sells cheap Avon products,
I picked myself up:
♥ Advance techniques colour protection restorative mask for coloured treated hair
♥ Advance technique intensive mask for all hair types
I cant see either of these on the site...I think there discontinued..?

Other products..

You cant beat Aussies miracle moist shampoo!
Redken anti snap- I have been using this for over a month, and it works! It made my hair happy again, and I will continue to use it now I've gone through bleaching it..
Avon heat protector, I wont be using heat much but when i do I've got this new heat protection to try out.
and last but not least..Avon's dry ends serum..this is soo good! my ends are pretty bad now so i have to apply this loads...



Okay my hair!
I have washed my hair twice since having it bleached, three times if you count the hairdresser doing it..
Its not fully blonde. Id say its more my natural colour with blonde highlights.
The condition isn't as bad as i was expecting.. thankfully!
I'l post a picture up of me posing soon, I'm too sleepy for you to see my face :P

Front....

Back.....

as you can see theres still brown tones in there..
I had to have a inch cut off the length and she put some layers in.
I'm just wondering weather or not to go back to get it bleached in 8 weeks...
I dont want to put my hair through much more to be honest,
I have a photo shoot coming up soon, I want my hair to look perfect.
I'm getting extensions so the colour has to match...
even tho i do like the colour, im sure blondes for me.
I know I'm a silly girl. I knew id go blonde then want to go back..
Brown really suites me, so maybe il go back to a light brown.
Id like to hear you opinions, please be honest!! :)

Love yooouus!

My Mother's Day Pressie's :)

It was my second mother's day a few Sundays back! :)
My Boyfriend treated me to a few presents from my daughter.
I decided to do a bit of a online shop! (it was long over due)
First stop was Avon.

♥ Advance Techniques Moisture Sleek Smoothing Conditioner

♥ Color trend pencil play eyeliner (In black)

♥ Advance Techniques Daily Results Dry Ends Serum

♥ Skin So Soft Original Dry Oil Body Spray
also my friend treated me to some girls aloud lashes!
The Conditioner & serum was recommend by Abby..il have an update on what I thought of everything :)
Next I went on the search for Redken anti snap leave in conditioner as I've heard so many good things about it.
I managed to get mine for £13 on feelunique.com
Ive used it twice, and so far I'm impressed!
I'll  be doing a review at some point.

Then Scott said I could get a mummy flower from lush! :)
So I got candy fluff (which smells of snow fairy) and a candy fluff bath ballistic.
(which I let my mum have as she loved it so much)
& finally Scott treated me to a top from new look!
I haven't took a picture but this is what it looks like :-)

I hope you all had a great day what ever you did!

Love Lauren xx
