I love everyone's red hair!
Beautiful pics, everyone!
I had natural red hair that I always hated.... and now that it's fading (turning more dark/ brownish) I miss it!
go figure!
I've been doing some reading and I have a few things I wanted to try.... And I wanted to share on here, and ask if anyone's tried anything similar.
First off, I swim practically every day and this year I wanted to be more proactive about the chlorine damage. Last year it got very dry and straw like despite washing (almost) every time I got out. So this year, I got a protein treatment back in June at the salon when I got my last trim. I also have ultra swim shampoo and conditioner, at the
very least I use the conditioner
every single time I am done swimming. I'm only conditioning at home, and I tried coconut oil. I like how it made my hair feel... but I did not like the smell, personally
Anyway, my hair feels good
But I am feeling blah about the color... like I said, it used to be red, and its turning more brown and blah to me. I wondered if it was residue.... but my friends say the don't notice, really. So maybe it's just me.
I am thinking about the ACV rinse, I read that its supposed to remove residue and bring back the shine. I also read it can also bring out red tints, more so than the WDV.
The other thing is, I have these waterproof elastics that I really like because they don't slip and they don't hurt, but... I know they're ripping my hair out
My other 'go-to tool' is natural colored bobby pins. I am looking for new hair accessories to try
mostly because... I want to try this 30 challenge of wearing my hair up everyday
for at least 30 days. But the rest of the summer would be awesome, on work days at least. I still would like my hair to look nice and healthy and shiny if/when I need to dress up and go out, too
So, any suggestions? I've had a hard time with headbands in the past because they give me a headache.
