If you’re anything at all like me, you’ll be rather impatiently waiting for the salons to reopen so that you can book yourself in for a well overdue cut and colour. I’m currently entering into my sixth haircut-free month, and things aren’t looking great. The simple act of brushing my hair causes severe snapping, and my split ends are basically beyond help at this point. Plus, on a purely practical note, it’s super long and seriously in my way.
But besides the fact it’s not in great health, the thing that is causing me the most anguish when it comes to my hair is without a doubt the state of the colour. Luckily for me, my go-to is a sort of out-grown balayage style, so I’m not left with banded, striped roots. However, the blonde that previously made up around 70% of my hair now barely just tips the ends due to breakage. What’s worse is that my previously cool, icy tones have since turned brassy and yellow.
Last week, as I prepared to step outside into the world and meet a friend for the first time in months, I finally decided that enough was enough and dusted off a bottle of coloured, toning shampoo to freshen up my bleached ends. I simply swapped out my usual shampoo for my go-to purple-toned formula, and believe me when I say the results were extraordinary. After just one wash, I looked like I had just stepped out of the salon. Even my friend asked if I had somehow managed to get my colour freshened up.
