So, after 4 years of tryings and errors, bleaching and heen-ing, doing so many stuff with my hair, I have finally managed to have a shiny healthy looking hair.
Here is the proove : http://www.flickr.com/photos/25483836@N07/5852966282/in/photostream
what i want is KEEPING IT THAT WAY ! but i donīt know exactly what i have done.
basically i have used the past months coconut oil as a pre-wash Co-washing, from time to time cleasing with VO5 clarifying, Aubrey peppermint shampoo, and SMT.oh , and of course carefully dillutet ACV rinses. I used to do from time to time home made mask , made out of smashed avocado,olive oil, honey, egg and bannana.ocasionally kiehlīs olice oil treatment conditioner, or sunflower.
very often my hair looked dully and without any shine ( see previous posting ) . even after those treatments i still couldnīt see any improvements. I was angry because no matter what i was doing, nothing changed .
not even when i have used a 99% plant based semi-permanent dye, not even than did my hair look shiny, or healthy.
but NOOOOWWWWW . itīs like waaaw. for me, of course. because i havenīt seen my hair in YEARS looking like that. or maybe never.
maybe itīs the dye ( semi-permanent mix out of manic panic, līoreal, etc..) , i donīt know. it fainted already a bit, but itīs still shiny and soft.i am afraid that once the color itīs fully out, my hair will get back to the dull , shineless "thing" that i had before.
one of the things worth mentioning, is that - no other conditioner has ever worked so good for me other than VO5 ( SKS ). no other! and my biggest problem at this moment is, as mentioned in the swap board, that i donīt have it anymore ( i live in germany, i canīt get it here ) . i have tried at our local store ( DM) for silicon-free products, which they also have, but they make my hair look greasy and not so soft as with VO5.
i washed my hair today and used at the end kiehlīs oilve oil conditioner, which has silicones on it. and well....i am afraid of build up, and donīt wanna use SLS-shampoos.
havenīt figure out how to use silicon conditioners, but not sls-shampoos.
so,my question - how to keep my hair like this ?
and : if i use silicon conditioner, but still using coconutoil as a prewash treatment - will the coconut oil be able to penetrate the hair ? or will the silicones stop it from doing that ?
what should i avoid doing ? what is the common risk when you have "normal" hair , but who needs conditioning ( my hair was obviously chemical treated before ) ?
and again, because i am so happy, my hair : :cheese:
