I have recently started having highlights put through my hair. It's very long and very fine and needs washing everyday. Normally my hair is super soft and shiny. Too much so some of the time (it was very traumatic as a 9 year old when scrunchies were in fashion and they refused to stay in my very soft hair). It takes abuse well, regular heat styling and dying leaves no noticable damage to my locks. I'm lucky like that. And as a result my hair has been my pride. The one element of my appearance that I am consistantly happy with. Free from the insecurities that plague the rest of my appearence as with most women.
That was until the highlights.
The highlights, though lovely in their caramel - honey goodness, have damaged my hair. It's dry on the ends and is a nightmare to brush through. The healthy gloss that was once resident on my hair no longer bothers to grace me with its presence. And I am feeling very sulky about it. (I am an only child- I sulk- alot).
So I am now on the hunt for the perfect deep conditioner to revive my locks to their former glory.
Attempt One is a James Brown treatment that promises glossy and moisturised hair. You put it on from root to tip after washing your hair, leave for at least 30seconds then rinse thoroughly.
I hate to say it... but I wasn't all that impressed with this one. The texture didn't feel particularly silky when applying and I doubted then whether it would work all that well. My doubts were justified. My hair was just as dry on the ends, no more shiny and no healthier looking. In fairness, it did rinse out easily but its smell lingered on my hair, and (this could just be me with my fussy sense of smell) it was rather sickly after a while and a little too strong.
This is not a product I would buy again and my search for a lovely hair masque continues. Anyone got any recommendations for me to try?
