Hair Journey
Last October, I
decided to dye my natural hair and since then it has gone through many
changes. Today I’m sharing and answering all things related to my hair.
First,
maintaining colored hair is a full-time job. Before making any changes you have
to think about your budget, retouching your roots every month could be an
investment. Also, you will need to change all your hair products, since not all
are suitable for dye hair. I change mine to the ones that are especially for
blondes and fine hair.
I went to a
beauty salon, since dramatic changes like mine, need professional expertise. On
that first visit, my hair just cleared enough to a bronze color. I had to wait
until the next retouching (3 to 4 weeks) to finish clarifying my hair to the
desired blonde color. That space of time allows the hair to regain his body and
strength since it loses it from the applied chemicals.
El pasado
octubre, decidí pintar mi cabello natural y desde entonces a pasado por varios
cambios. Hoy comparto y contesto todo acerca de mi cabello.
Primero,
mantener un cabello pintado es un trabajo de tiempo completo. Antes de tomar
una decisión tienen que pensar en tu presupuesto, retocar las raíces cada mes
puede ser una inversión. También, tendrás que hacer algunos cambios en los
productos para el cabello que ya utilices, no todos son aptos para el cabello
pintado. Yo cambie los míos a productos específicamente para rubias y cabello
fino.
Yo fui a un
salón de belleza, cambios dramáticos como este necesitan ser atendidos por un
profesional. En mi primera visita mi cabello solo aclaro lo suficiente a un
color bronce. Tuve que esperar a mi próximo retoque (3 a 4 semanas) para
finalizar la aclaración del cabello al rubio deseado. En ese espacio de tiempo permitió que mi
cabello recuperara textura y fuerza, ya que lo pierde con los químicos aplicados.
In November, I went back to the salon to finally be blonde. My
beautician recommends doing highlights and low-lights since it suited better my
type of hair. I was thrilled with the final result! After 4 weeks it was time
for my first roots retouch, so I went back to the salon. Of course, I knew that
going every month to the beauty salon would really harm my “college budget." thrilled So
I asked my beautician the color name and recommendations for retouching my roots
at home (with the help of my Mom). Since January I had been retouching my hair at home, without a problem.
Note: Beautician recommends to dye all your hair
after the third root retouching. Since after every hair wash the color starts
to fade.
En noviembre,
regrese al salón para al fin ser rubia. Mi estilista recomendó hacer highlights
y low-lights, ya que quedaba mejor para mi tipo de cabello. ¡Estaba muy
contenta con los resultados finales! Después de 4 semanas era tiempo de mi
primer retoque de raíces, así que regrese al salón. Claro, yo sabia que regresar
cada mes al salón de belleza afectaría mi presupuesto de universitaria. Así que
le pregunte a mi estilista recomendaciones y el color del tinte para retocarme
en casa (con la ayuda de mi Mama). Desde enero, estado retocando mis raíces en
mi casa sin ningún problema.
Nota: Estilistas
recomiendan pintarte el cabello completo después del tercer retoque de raíces.
Ya que el cabello va cambiando de color a medida que te lo lavas.
This week, I colored all my hair (since it started changing from the
original color). I did it at home, with the new color suggestion from a
beautician.
Esta semana, pinte todo mi cabello (ya que comenzó a cambiar del color original). Lo hice en casa, con la nueva recomendación de color de una esteticista.
I use / Utilice: Color 11.20 (super high lift violet blonde)
half tube, Color OSS (super high lifting reinforced) half tube, and 5 oz. of
peroxide 30. (Mix and apply for 45 minutes)
Fact: An appointment at the beauty salon costs from $60 to $85 dollars. But, I only spend between $18 to $26 dollars buying the hair dye on a Beauty Supply.
After every wash, I tent to leave a conditioner or hair mask on, to help
my hair gain some texture and strength. I’ve been using for shampoo and
conditioner, Paul Mitchell Forever Blonde Collection, that has KerActive protein and is sulfate-free, and also the KerActive damage recovery spray. Sometimes, I alternated to Garnier's Fructis Color Shield Shampoo.
Realidad: Una
cita en el salón de belleza cuesta de $60 a $85 dólares. Pero, Solo gaste de
$18 a $26 dólares comprando el tinte en un Beauty Supply.
Después de cada
lavado, dejo puesto en el cabello algún acondicionador o mascarilla, esto
ayudará a que el cabello recupere textura y fuerza. Estado usando el champú y
acondicionador de la colección de Paul Mitchell Forever Blonde, que tiene la proteína
KerActive y es libre de sulfato, además el spray damage recovery. Algunas veces
alterno con el champú de Garniers Fructis Color Shield.
Almost every day, I used a few drops of coconut oil or Moroccan oil on my hair, to smooth and prevent dryness. I also don’t tend to wash my hair very often, maybe every 3 to 4 days, keeping it clean with dry shampoo. This helps preserve the color, the natural oils and prevents splitting.
I hope this post was helpful and that it answers all of your questions. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
Lots of love.
Casi todos los días, utilizó algunas
gotas de aceite de coco o aceite Moroccan en mi cabello, para suavizar y
prevenir reseques. No suelo lavar mi cabello a menudo, tal vez cada 3 a 4 días,
manteniéndolo limpio con algún Dry Shampoo. Esto ayuda a preservar el color,
los aceites naturales y previene orquetillas.
Espero que este post haya sido de ayuda y
que contestara toda sus preguntas. Si tienen alguna otra pregunta, no dudes en
dejar un comentario.
Mucho amor.
So pretty. I love how much fun you have with your hair. Totally jealous. I'm so boring. I've been wearing my hair the same way for as long as I can remember. Plus I relax my hair & coloring would distroy it. These changes really reflect a fun personality & what's better than that?!

Thanks Shoshana for your sweet and honest comment. I totally understand you, coloring harm the hair in so many ways. That was the main reason I heisted at first, but I learn everyday the best way to keep it healthy.
DeleteDon't be afraid in changing your hairstyle or color. It could be very fun trying new things once in a while.
Lots of love.
