Everyone in here has such lovely hair and I'm over here like... should I color mine again? In my defense I do hair so I am sort of addicted to changing it. All in all my hair stays pretty healthy though!
My biggest tips are-
Use thermal protection. I don't care if you are just blow drying your hair. You better spray it!
Never use hot water on your hair. It is the same as putting a hot styling tool on it with no protection.
DO NOT USE BOX COLOR. Hair stylists are not trying to take your money when we say this. Box color is unpredictable and 80 percent of the time even we can't fix it! Most of them contain vegetable or metallic dyes... I have blow dried people's hair who had box dye on it and THEIR HAIR STARTED SMOKING. NO. DO NOT DO IT. I WILL MAKE YOU GO OUT IN THE YARD AND PICK A SWITCH AND I WILL WHIP YOU WITH IT.
As for my personal routine... I've had every color under the sun. I had bright red hair when I got married then 2 weeks later decided "eh, let's see what blonde looks like." The blonde stayed until I just got sick of messing with the roots (my hair grows like a weed and I had to do my new growth every two weeks), so I chopped it off and went brunette. My hair isn't really damaged at all. I take good care of it. I use a pre-wash by Beth Minardi a few times a week as well as coconut oil hair masks. I also use a leave-in as well as a smoothing oil. I'm a total product junkie so if anyone is wanting any advice about products I am your gal lol.
Attaching two of my favorite hairs I've had. I have fine hair, but enough of it for three people. While I like it short there is just too much of it and once it grows a little it looks too bulky. :/
