no bleeding.

So i have platinum blond hair. And i added deep purple in it. I did a one inch parting all around my head... well with the exception on my bangs. and well, I covered whatever wasn't going to be colored with biolage conditioner (super thick stuff) And i still got a little bit of bleeding. sucks. Do you guys have any tips on how to not haven't hat happen? so now i have a blueish tint to some parts of my blond. oh well, it still looks awesome :)

TADA!:



i know cholesterol might have worked, but i didn't think of it until AFTER i had the color washed out. HAHA.

Green hair Sucks.

Ok, maybe green hair is pretty awesome when it happens on purpose, but when you jump in a pool and your hair turns green, that sucks! So now what? Well.. a little trick I learned to get that green tint out of your hair is tomato juice and white vinegar. yeah, it smells like death, but man does it work wonders. The red from the tomato juice counteracts the green from the algae (yeah, algae turns your hair green, not chlorine) in pools, and the vinegar just helps open the cuticle and lift the green tint out. It sounds crazy but it really works! Ive tried it myself. and It not only works for pool water, but it also works for when you turn your hair green accidentally by throwing an ash-based blond to your already blond head (yeah, that was a color correction i had a hell of a time with). I like to experiment a lot.. and well when something works, i'll let you guys know so you can try it... and if something epically fails.. well ill let you guys know as well so you DONT try it :)

Summertime Miracle mixture:

1 cup tomato juice
3 Tbl spoons white vinegar

mix it all up, rub it in your hair like shampoo, let your hair soak until you see the green tint come out, rinse REALLY REALLY well, repeat only if necessary.

tada! :D

Dirty hair rocks :)

So I don't wash my hair everyday (gross, right? haha) j/k its not gross at all. Your hair becomes oily if you wash it everyday. and oily hair kind of defeats the purpose of washing it everyday.... if that makes sense. The more you wash your hair, the more you strip it of its natural oils. And so as a result of that, your body produces more oil. and so on and so on. and i think i just repeated myself like 30 times haha. Anyway, yeah. So if you have oily hair, you can either put some baby powder in it (because that absorbs moisture) or you can start training your hair by skipping the "lather, rinse, repeat" step every other day. Invest in a shower cap :)

oh and on top of just helping reduce oils, not washing your hair everyday helps in styling too. It makes it so much easier to style when the hair is unwashed. you ever tried to do an updo on someone who just washed their hair? IMPOSSIBLE haha. I refuse. The buildup in the hair helps it hold its shape when you style and mold it. Pretty awesome if ya ask me ;)

Hair Product stuff...

I'm experimenting with different types of hair products... trying to find out what works best for me and the type of work I do. I found that I really like Bumble and Bumble's "curl conscious smoothing shampoo" its awesome! I like to wash the hair with this right before i do any type of updo or formal type style. It really brings the hairs natural waves out almost instantly :) I also love TIGI's Cool wax stick. man, that little thing is freakin ausome! :D what do you guys like? what do you suggest i try? :)
