Re-Moisturize Hair with WEN.

If anything good could possibly come of my migraine last night, this would be it.

After the longest Saturday which started at 5:30 in the morning and didn't end until after 10:00 at night, an end of the day shower was much needed. Feeling that my hair was in dire need of extra moisturizing help, I applied a great Hair Mask after getting out of the shower. WEN by Chaz Dean Re-Moist Hydrating Mask was my product of choice, which I usually rinse out after about an hour.

After applying and combing the mask through my hair, a wicked migraine hit, so I was down for the night. Forgetting that I had a mask in my hair, I hit my pillow with the lights out for almost twelve hours of sleep. Frankly forgetting the mask was in is not so simple. It is a super thick almost butter consistency product. Anyway, once I finally dragged myself out of bed, headache free - thank God, I showered and simply rinsed the mask out of my hair.

Simply upon towel drying, I was already astonished at how different my hair felt.It felt longer, softer, more wet than usual. I let my hair air dry for about twenty minutes before blow-drying and styling, but once I did I wanted to scream in delight. Honestly, and I know I sing the praises of hair items a lot, but my hair has NEVER been as soft and silky as it is today. Never. It feels similar to my three year old nieces baby fine, only been cleansed with the gentlest of baby shampoo, never been treated or heated hair. Amazing. Beyond amazing, actually.

I don't know how long the super fine silkiness will last, but when it starts to revert, which it might not until I over abuse it again, I know an overnight treatment with this mask is all I need.

Seriously, I never thought anything good could come out of a migraine. If you saw and felt my hair, you would totally agree.

3 Great Ways to Say Goodbye to the Gray's.

If you are lucky enough to have not yet had to worry about pesky gray hairs showing up, count yourself blessed. At some time or another, almost all of us will start seeing them. One, two, ten - hundreds. Ugh - it is a fact of hair life. The grays - and gosh are they stubborn.

Check out my 3 great ways that I say goodbye to my grays.

 

  1. Wash Out Hair Color
    ColorMark is true temporary liquid hair color for touching up gray roots. This is not like a faux-mascara or crayon. This is hair color that washes out when you shampoo. You apply a bit to your gray and comb it through for the most natural look. I use this on my temples or on pesky grays that I see when I pull my hair back or put it up. This temporary wonder comes in 12 easy to match shades.
  2. Semi-Permanent Hair Color
    Clairol's Natural Instincts is a temporary or semi-permanent hair color that lasts up to 28 shampoos. This is a gentle, ammonia free color that quickly and gently - yet effectively cover grays. This method is great to use in between permanent touch-ups, whether at the salon or home. Natural Instincts boasts a full range of 44 shades, making finding your match easy. The fact that it takes a few minutes to apply (which you do to damp hair) and ten minutes to develop, makes this more than easy.
  3. Permanent Hair Color
    Excellence to-Go is a new product from L'Oreal that will permanently color hair and cover even the most hard to cover gray hairs - in just ten minutes. This hair color has a new technology that accelerates the coloring process, so the entire color develops in just ten minutes. There is enough formula in the bottle for more than the grays too, from root touch ups to all over color. Another cool thing about Excellence to-Go is that is has a lower ammonia content so it smells better and is better for you hair in the long run - though with very good gray coverage and permanent hair color results. There are 13 shades in the line up that range from the lightest of blonde to very black.

I use each of these new products and love them all pretty much equally. You will see that each one serves it's own purpose, and I swear by all of these gray hiding methods and I use them all when needed.
