My Hair Care Routine

Well I never thought I'd say this but yes I do now have an actual hair care routine and one that I actually stick to! Now, if you don't follow me on social media you won't be aware of the various drastic changes I have made to my hair over the past few months, simply because  I didn't document it, so I will give you a bit of a background info. So, as you know I was Ombre for well over a year and for Halloween I thought I would switch things up a bit and go for a Violet Ombre, which looked pretty cool and I got a fair few compliments however when it came to trying to wash it out and make it fade, the colour just wouldn't budge  -which is strange because when I have previously used Bleach London or Directions the Colour has no longevity whatsoever, typical! So now imagine having hair that is a wish wash or blonde and lilac, not ideal, so I ended up dyeing my hair all brown, which I have to say I wasn't a fan of at all, I just didn't feel like me. Give or take a month of being Brunette and I decided to go back Blonde but this time using highlights to give more of a natural finish with different tones throughout.

Anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent there but as you now know a bit of history I am now back blonde but having put my hair through so much stress I seriously need to take care of it now! My routine still isn't perfect and  I should probably use a few more products to care for it and maintain the colour, but for the time being this is what I do...

• Two times a week I treat my hair to the Joico K-Pak Intense Hydrator Treatment, as recommended by my hairdresser. It is a fairly pricey product but I feel it's worth it as it restores moisture and keeps the hair hydrated. I usually leave this on for 5-10 mins and sometimes use it in place of Conditioner
• Two times a week (at different intervals to using the K Pak) I slap on some Touch of Silver purple Shampoo. This keeps out any brassy tones and maintains the blonde. 
• Every time I wash my hair, before I dry my hair I used the Fudge Hot Hed Whipped Voilet Moisture Creme. This is a heat protector specifically for Blondes, it contains Voilet infusions to keep the brassy tones out of the hair and it is great because it continues to work as the day goes on.

• Not necessarily part of maintaining the health of my hair but I thought it would be worth mentioning that I recently purchased some GHD Classic Curlers which I would 100% recommend, they're amaze! 

Provoke Touch Of Silver VIB Tribe

Morning guys! So a few weeks back the lovely ladies at Provoke Touch Of Silver got in touch with me to see if I wanted to become a part of their VIB (Very Important Blonde) Tribe which essentially involves Touch of Silver sending me and several other blondes their latest products for us to try out and report back to you guys with the low down on the results we've had. Of course I jumped at the opportunity as Touch Of Silver has been a household staple for me for years. Being a self confessed bleaching blonde gal, I have always relied on Touch Of Silver Purple Shampoo to keep my hair looking ashy and blonde and removing any brassy tones from my hair. I've been known for leaving this stuff on a little too long in the past which has resulted in my having lilac hair. However it seemed to go down well with everyone and even though it was a mistake I just went with the flow.

Although my hair is now ombre or 'root stretched', whatever you like to call it, three quarters of my hair is still in fact blonde and I want to maintain the ashy tones rather than it going yellowy, so of course Touch Of Silver is my go-to product. This stuff honestly works miracles, in fact I left my hair for a few months without using the Purple Shampoo and then when I did I was amazed with how blonde it looked! I'm kind of guilty of whacking the 'twice a week' Shampoo on, in every wash which probably isn't good for my hair in the long run but I just love the results I get.

Now as you have probably noticed, Provoke Touch of Silver have recently had a bit of a re-brand, brought out a few new products and improved their existing ones. I haven't yet tried out the whole collection but once I have I will be back with a full report! This post was just a bit of an introduction to the new collab I'm involved in and to make you aware of the brand if you haven't already! So watch this space!
