Ombre


So I decided to bleach out my ends a little more for more of an Ombre look!

I linked to all the products I used.

I used a hi-lighting kit from the drugstore- by Revlon

Revlon Frost & Glow Highlighting Kit, Medium to Dark Brown Hair 2470-06

The thing with Ombre hair for me anyways is that my natural is dark so that doesn't need any color and it's super healthy while my ends are bleached and dry.  Now what shampoo to you get to deal with that?

I use a clarifying shampoo all over 1st then I use a blue shampoo (a shampoo for blondes- keeps your blonde nice and bright) on the ends and then I just condition the ends. Here's what I use:

Vo5 Herbal Escapes Clarifying Shampoo Kiwi Lime Squeeze



IT'S A 10 - 10.0 oz MIRACLE DAILY CONDITIONER



For styling it's a challenge as well as my roots are super healthy meaning not a lot of body.  So I found a root boost product I like to use when blow drying

TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Root Boost 8.4 oz


If my hair has already been blown dried or maybe it's day two for my hair and it needs a little boost I use  this powder 

POWDER'ful Volumizing Styling Powder
These two products help with adding volume to my hair. 


And to keep my ends shiny I use this oil and I love it no matter I have going on with my hair for my ends.
You only need very little so it lasts a long time!!  I love it

Getting Organized ~ Hair

So as I'm trying to get it together I've come across a few hair items I think make my life a little simpler and save me some time.

Well 1st off is a shower cap.  I purchased mine right at CVS, but there are all kind.  I seen one on Amazon created by the new york blow dry bar for like $18.  That's high compared to what I paid, but I believe it is terry on the inside.  Sometimes when I wear mine I feel like an old lady.  And the blow dry bar are the experts on keeping your blow out.  Check out their site:



 Oh and if you have a daughter with long hair- there have to be times you would love her to just shower and skip the whole hair thing~ how cute is this cap.  I believe you can get it on Amazon for something like $4.99.

The next thing I'm loving is my Turbie Twist
I purchased mine at CVS, but I seem this two pack on Amazon for around $10.99.  Two might be nice so that when one is in the wash you aren't without.  I have been washing my hair sometimes the night before and it really does help to get a lot of the moisture out so I'm not going to bed with a wet head.



Now I still like my baby powder for a dry shampoo when I don't shampoo my hair, but I'm loving this got2b Powderful
It give such great lift to your hair- it's awesome!  I bought mine at Ulta, but I've seen it in the drugstore as well.  It isn't meant to be a dry shampoo- you can use it after you get done shampooing and blow drying and it will give you great lift at the roots!!!  I have used it at times instead of the baby powder.


Another thing that helps with time saving is the classic bun~ I will always love the bun from my days of dance lessons~ I love a classic bun.
