I recently switched from PM Shine Gloss which was introduced to me by Hillary J of Winam Studio, to full fledged color.
It was a scary transition because my hair was a mess until I started using gloss.
And gloss plus good hair products kept my hair in great condition for a long time.
But product junky that I am…
Plus, the gloss wasn’t covering my grays as well – and since my grays are in the middle and side parts where everybody notices grow out–I needed a new option.
So far, the color totally works-and I am going a little lighter with the color but gradually. The color is not applied to my whole head, just my roots plus 4 inches or so down the hair shaft.
I was speaking to a nice lady at BOSS supply, and we talked about how long having dark hair on an aging face and body, made sense and didn’t look odd.
That was a good point – because my gloss shade was pretty much my natural color-but as I approach double-nickels, I thought I’d lighten it up.
This was tried before with highlights and lighter gloss, but from my point of view I ended up looking like a calico with the grow out-black, red and white-calico right?
Anyway.
My fear of getting the horrible dried out frizzy looking hair you see in Walmart horror photos is being addressed with a new cocktail of Kitoko Nutri-Restore products.
I did not realize when I picked up the Cleanser and Balm from BOSS that the shampoo was sudless. Kind of like those Wen products I guess.
I was expecting a huge lather-but it never appeared. In fact, I added another squeeze of cleanser and still nothing. Yet, I felt like my hair was being cleaned.
The balm was much thinner and pretty normal.
I figured I used the PH-Restore product first after towel-drying, followed by Neuma Tangle-Free with UV protection.
Add a dollop of my beloved Orange-Creamsicle-smelling Neuma Styling Cream-and ready for the blow dry plus Neusmooth Illuminating Mist.
I know it’s a lot – but three color treatments later-my hair is in spectaular shape.
I’m sorry I have to say – it’s as great as when I was in 7th grade and had hair down to my jeans pockets-shiny, smooth and no frizzies.
How I do miss those days when I just used Wella Balsam or Fabrege Organics or other $2 shampoo Mom bought me and out the door.
