HASK

Before turning 14, I had never done ANYTHING to my hair. Only trims maybe every 6 months or once each year. Once I cut it for the first time, I couldn’t stop. Here’s a timeline of my hair so far! starting out with my long hair, I started out with very blonde hair and it slowly turned darker. It would only grow to about my ribs, unfortunately for my younger self who wanted to be rapunzel🤧 I cut it for the first time on my 14th birthday as a gift from my mom. I went to the salon and donated 13 inches, giving myself a long bob. I even had it bleached a little bit and toned pink. 💖It was an expensive trip💀. I tend to lean towards box dye now, to the sorrow of my hair. I had decided that wasn’t enough, and the next February I cut my first pixie. 💇‍♀️My mom was terrified, but for me it was very refreshing. I couldn’t stop touching the back of my head. I change the cut up just a bit later on, but I always kept the top on the long side. my favorite part! I got my hair bleached at the salon to almost paper white. I was surprised by the color, to be honest I had no idea what the word platinum blonde was at the time of talking to my hairdresser. I was honestly expecting a light blonde 😅. But I loved it! I kept that hairstyle for a long time until it grew out. as it grew out, I didn’t have the money to go back to the salon, so I used box bleach (bad idea😬). My hair turned orange, so I went in for a round 2 the next day. It lightened my hair up, but I was still yellow. I gave up at that point, and decided to dye it grey. Surprisingly, as the grey faded out I ended up with the color I wanted!😄 I touched it up quite a bit, but quickly got bored since I’ve been blonde, well my whole life😐. I went to Sally’s and was hoping to pick up green and orange, but they didn’t really have a neon orange so I picked up pink💖. I loove split dye but never tried it out. My hair was already bleached, why not change things up? That leads me to today! I’ve had my hair like this for a few months, and I’m ready to change again! I’m thinking black on the pink side🖤 (it’s pretty difficult to maintain😅) and an electric green over the dark green💚 (it’s faded quite a bit, especially at the ends.) Also, HOW THE HECK DO I DAMAGE MY HAIR THIS MUCH?? Honestly, the best solution to getting rid of damaged hair is chopping it off 😅 it’s easier to do that if you have short hair definitely. Products I use in the shower: HASK - Monoi Coconut Oil Nourishing Conditioner HASK - Monoi Coconut Oil Nourishing Shampoo Honestly, despite being drugstore brand these two helped my hair regain softness after bleaching so much.

If you haven’t dyed your hair, you may not experience some hair problems like split ends or coarse and dry hair. But if you are someone who often changes hair colours like me, it is really needed to consider some treatments to repair our hair and try to restore the original smoothness and glow. I have tried a lot of hair mask, treatment serum, and oil. Many of them are not as helpful as they promote. Here are two products I fell in love with on its first try and still using.    My hair is thick and quite hard and used to be really smooth. Things changed after I dyed my hair. I really like this colour I chose though, the side effects after it is overwhelming. My hair becomes really dull and hard to comb if I forget using conditioner and hair oil. I don’t know why but it also gets very thin and fragile. I was shopping in supermarket and spotted this HASK argan oil hair conditioner. To be honest it is really cheap and I just walked by and thought it won't hurt to try another hair stuff.    This is a repair deep conditioner but has a thick and heavy feeling so I use it as a repairing conditioner plus hair mask. I apply it on half-dried hair from the middle to end, and while waiting for about 10 minutes, I do my body and foot scrubbing. 10 minutes is a little long but worthwhile. After washing it off, my hair is super easy to comb and feels feather-like. It doesn’t have a fancy package, and the scent is bit strong, but the effect is really amazing. I use it every time I wash my hair and the smoothness always last for about a few days. I definitely will buy it again.    Another product I want to recommend is a hair mask treatment from Living proof. This brand is famous for its hair product line and I haven’t tried any of its products until I received this weightless mask from a cosmetic store I often visit. It smells like a baby shampoo with a light, natural scent. Like its name, it is truly weightless and 5-minute is needed to wait for it to work. I use it as the hair mask, after the conditioner. This hair mask works well for me and provides a similar outcome to the Hask hair conditioner. I also like this one but it is a little bit pricy. If I can only recommend one product to my friend, I will choose the Hask mask. Living proof hair treatment is also a good choice with enough budget. 

YES, that’s my hair! And I’m going to share with you some tips on how I got my hair to look like this! PSA: I’m not a hairdresser ❤️ Your shampoo DOES MATTER- stop using drug store shampoo/conditioner that’s just making your hair dried out and greasy. Some great and still affordable brands are PAUL MITCHELL - Clarifying Shampoo Two BIOSILK - Silk Therapy Shampoo MATRIX - Ultra Hydrasource Shampoo (I’m currently using the Paul Mitchell shampoo/conditioner) Tip: going to stores like marshals or TJ max can help save money on these products. ❤️ Cut the heat 🚫🔥 heat can damage your hair! And if you have to use heat styling tools PLEASE use a heat protectant spray. ❤️ Wash your hair only 2-3 times a week, you don’t want to strip your hair of its natural oils!! ❤️ Use hair oil or hair serum EVERY👏🏼SINGLE👏🏼DAY! You don’t need much, maybe a little more then a pea size just enough to hydrate your hair and give it some shine🌟 I like BIOSILK - Silk Therapy Original ogx - Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Extra Penetrating Hair Oil I’ve also noticed while using these products my hair has less knots and frizz ❤️ Don’t underestimate the power of a silk pillow case. At night you move around and your hair can get snagged and break with a cotton pillowcase, the silk allows your hair to slide off and is better for your skin too ❤️ OLIVE OIL is your new best friend you never knew you had. I soak my hair in olive oil once a month and it really helps with growth. (I made a separate post on this if you want to know more!) ❤️ Most important⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT color your hair with box dye!!! Ahhh this is so so bad for your hair. If you need a change please go see a hair stylist to talk about what’s best for YOUR hair needs, your hair will thank you! ❤️ Don’t forger to trim the dead ends. I know it sounds so simple and everyone knows this buts it’s so important for the health of your hair and makes your hair look healthier and helps your hair grow faster! ❤️ Don’t forget about hair masks!! There’s so many different brands and options for every hair type. One of my favorites Is the brand HASK. HASK - Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner Packette the packs are so big that I can use half and get 2 uses out of it ❤️ What brush are you using?? I only use the Wet brush - Original Detangler because the bristles are so flexible they don’t rip my hair out while I’m brushing while detangling my hair with no problem and can be used on dry hair too not just wet!! I hope this helped! If you have any other good hair tips leave them in the comments below!

One of my all time favorite dry shampoos!! Absolutely love the scent, makes you feel like you’re on a beach. This product does leave a little white residue on my hair but it’s fine once I brush through it. This gives my hair so much volume and definitely helps with the oily texture of my hair. I use this on the days after washing my hair when it starts to look flat or greasy. Totally recommend! HASK - Coconut Dry Shampoo
