Past eight years I’ve dyed my hair, both professionally and at home, out of all products I’ve tried, Wella Color Charm hair color always worked well. I liked this line of products the best, and they have both toners and permanent colors. Their toners used to be excellent but then they discontinued some of the colors such as Majestic Beige, which was a lovely color especially on a level 7 lightened hair. Now, I’ve tried Light Blonde, #811 a few times, it always worked like a charm and has it has neutral base. It always worked every time my hair wasn’t lightened sufficiently to a level 9 so I always go back to this color. It looks like a nice blonde as a result.

Another product I swear by to keep my hair anti-frizzy and shiny is by using this product by Proclaim, available at Sally Beauty Supply Store. This is produced by same company, Proclaim, that gives fabulous shine and softness for extremely dry, damaged and coarse hair. Black people often use this for their hair treatments but this works well with chemically processed treated hair, too. It makes my hair look believably healthy and shiny when it’s not. You can purchase this PROCLAIM GLOSSING POLISH ENRICHED WITH OLIVE OIL 6 OZ.

I love this product by L’Oreal. I use it often to nurture my damaged hair prone to breakage and brittleness. So I use a dollop of this product in order to moisturize my hair. It’s called Nature Therapy Mega Moisture Nurturing Creme. I swear by it and use other product with my hair too. I also use the nurturing shampoo from the same line.

You can purchase this L’oreal Nature’s Therapy Mega Moisture Creme Jar of fabulous.

After using ColorFix, a color reducer agent that can be purchased at Sally Beauty Supply Store, all of the dark color has been removed. Once this chemical has been washed out of the hair, I left my hair air dry before resorting my hair to bleach. My personal preference of bleach is Wella Wellite, an on scalp lightener that comes with blue oil and two activator packets. I would get two boxes of Wellite because I had long hair plus it may take 2 or 3 rounds of bleaching depending how much my hair can take. I ended up bleaching two rounds. My hair, from orangey hair was lifted to a dark banana yellow with bits of orange. Since my hair wasn’t lightened up enough I had to go with a level 8 hair color. If you have successfully lifted your hair to a nice banana yellow then go with my personal favorite, Clairol Creme Toner in Towhead. It is a beautiful shade of cool ash blonde that looks natural and reduces bits of brassiness in your hair. I have used it countless of times in the past. If I wanted to remain a darker blonde, I’d go with Wella Color Charm Light Blonde #811.
