Hello!
My name is Erin and I am 26yrs old and have been doing my own hair cuts and colors since I was 17. I have had brown, dark blonde, black, ginger-y, auburn, fire engine red, dark blue, green...and the current black+ blue+ purple.
My issue is obviously damage. I have very thick, healthy, strong hair... but I do bleach my roots once every 5 weeks, I do my blue and purple ever 2 weeks and the black every 4 weeks. On top of that I wash is everyday because I have am oily scalp, I blow dry everyday, flat iron everyday... It doesn't get much rest!! Oh and we have really hard water but we do have a softener and I have an extra filtration system in the shower head.
I was curious to hear from some hair professionals some advice on care and products. I'm looking obviously for products that promote repair, add moisture, help with split ends etc... but I don't want any products that leave my hair heavy and leave weird waxy like coatings on it...
Here's a list of the products I use:
L'Oreal extreme repair shampoo, conditioner and repairing mask, megasilk heat protect spray, Joyco luster lock conditioning treatment, natural coconut oil, ion 20 volume developer, wella color charm bleaching powder, manic panic atomic turquoise & voodoo blue & pastelizer, ion brights radiant orchid, garnier nutrisse blue black and ion color lock conditioner.
The bleach I only leave on for 15mins since its just on new growth, then I shampoo and rinse it. The manic panic and ion colors sit for 2hrs. Then rinse and let conditioner sit 5mins. Every once in a while I do coconut oil treatments usually right before bleaching. I let the coconut oil sit for 2hrs then either bleach and shampoo or just shampoo and condition. Also, my hair is naturally curly/wavy, thick and coarse and it's pretty long and very layered.
I still have split ends and breakage which is why I'm looking for some help!!
