Hair Routine

I've been asked by a couple of you what my hair routine is... and I assure you that I really don't do anything special. Here is exactly what I do... And remember my hair is dry and the ends are still pretty damaged from dyes and bleaches.

I wash my hair with Suave shampoo and conditioner...

...I am currently using the lilac one because I love the smell. It's cheap, it smells good and it gets the job done.

I then use the following products in my hair before I blow dry it:

Protein cocktail from Sally Beauty Supply - supposedly it strengthens your hair. I've been using this stuff since my mom was a manager at sally's. Um, I've never had any problems with it but some people say that it makes their hair dry. My hair is already dry because it's been so damaged by dyes and bleaching so it makes my hair feel softer. And it smells yummy. Bonus.

This is the single most expensive product I use in my hair. I've been using it since I started getting highlights in it forever ago. Kerastase Chroma Riche - a little goes a long way and I've had my bottle FOREVER. This product protects your hair from "external aggression's" and also makes your hair soft and shiny.

Yeah, leave in conditioner. My hair is dry, remember? it also get really frizzy if I don't use some sort of leave in conditioner. I don't use this stuff every single time- mostly i use it when I am leaving my hair curly. And I will also use it on the very ends of my hair.

Turn up the Heat from Sally Beauty Supply. It is a protection spray. Another product that also makes your hair shiny. I use this VERY sparingly. If you use too much it makes your hair oily.

After my array of product is used I blow dry my hair. And then I will straighten it because my some of my hair will do it's own curly thing. And that's it. I feel like that is a lot of product in my hair. However, I use so little of all of that it doesn't build up/make my hair gross.

Now for my weekly update on my hair growth.

You can see last weeks here

This week I didn't have as dramatic of results. It's a little longer - I've noticed that the back of my hair is catching up (it was cut in an a-line) You can see that my bangs are longer as well. My hair is officially to the point where I usually get irritated and cut it off. So, I just gotta push on through this stage and not cut it.

What's your hair routine? Do you have any suggestions for me?
