I just regain my hair from getting bald, need a <a href="http://www.laofoyehair.com/gallery-item/hair-loss-genetic-hair-loss-treatment-singapore/" rel="nofollow">hair loss treatment</a> to stop it from falling and then another for hair growth, it worked for me. I can now start with masking my hair but with natural products only.

Bummer that shampooing it out caused the color to fade :( Are you using a color-safe shampoo? Olive oil is a bit thicker than coconut oil (when the coco oil is in liquid phase) so maybe using coconut next time would make it easier to wash out?Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324355192617091726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056655436359226545.post-29677330905694822482014-08-09T06:15:39.512-07:002014-08-09T06:15:39.512-07:00The hair mask was both good and bad for me!

I had it done about 2 weeks ago. <br />I put the hair mask and I found it pretty gloopy and hard to wash out, as precautioned! I didn't have any coconut oil, so I put extra olive, this could have been the reason. <br />It took me a LOT of shampoo to get it out, and unfortunately, because of that, way too much of my dye came out than I would've liked, and not all over either, just mainly at the front. <br />But, my hair feels so much softer an it's shiner though! <br />So, if your hair is bleached with a bright dye over the top, I'd recommend you do this treatment "pre-first-fresh-dye-wash" so you don't ruin your colour. Could also wash out easier mixed with conditioner :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01113681918852484599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056655436359226545.post-3281401346571920272014-07-21T10:47:06.450-07:002014-07-21T10:47:06.450-07:00nice..nice..aldexhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056655436359226545.post-65878119586415416372014-06-27T22:31:14.007-07:002014-06-27T22:31:14.007-07:00You should really use sulfate, silicone, paraben a...You should really use sulfate, silicone, paraben and alcohol free hair products. You have to always check the ingredient list of the products you buy for your hair and avoid those ingredients so you can get softer and healthier hair. <br /><br />There's this line called Pro Natural’s that is really good for damaged or chemically processed hair because its so gentle and it uses argan oil which is the best thing you can use on your hair. Look them up online and see if you like anything from them like shampoo, conditioner, argan oil for after a shower, hair masks, and other stuff. Also, it doubles as a heat protectant if you ever want to straighten or blow dry your hair. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006877747566955227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056655436359226545.post-62015474198384119522014-03-01T12:34:07.287-08:002014-03-01T12:34:07.287-08:00Thanks Jenny!

And, I have to admit, except for the whole destroying-my-hair thing, it HAS been fun experimenting with different colors.<br /><br />One thing I'd add to my thoughts on the repair mask recipe is, I've since used it several times with a couple different variations--the recipe doesn't need to be exact, I tend to just slop whatever I have into a bowl, mix, and apply :) I've used honey in it and didn't like it as much, but I want to try avocado next. The recipe listed above is still my favorite.<br /><br />Thanks for reading! :)Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324355192617091726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056655436359226545.post-84040818203477669062013-07-10T11:55:28.818-07:002013-07-10T11:55:28.818-07:00Thanks for the Repair mask recipe!

It's also not stupid to think that professional colourists will know what they're doing. It does suck that this person did a terrible job, but that makes them a terrible colourist. It doesn't make YOU stupid!! <br /><br />You gave something new a shot, & yeah, it didn't work out, but good on you for trying! If it had gone great, you'd be cheering right now!<br /><br />Dealing with my own hair Incidents? Patience, & getting a good hairdresser you trust (wait until you trust them!) to cut off as much as you can stand. My beloved hairdresser died quite suddenly, so I had to find someone new. She mistook "trim my long layers" for "give me a vintage Ashley Simpson Mullet Shag". I am not exagerrating. It was almost a year of straight-irons & searching for a new hair dresser I trusted enough to say "cut it off!" My adorable bob made me feel much better. Hair grows back, and good cuts in the interim will make it much better.QuiteLightnoreply@blogger.com
