Super absorbent hair towel

Pink Turbie Hair Twist Towel

The MAIN reason why this hair towel is so fabulous is because it will keep your hair in good condition! No more of these crazy and awkward towel twisting your hair dry when it should be used for drying your body! Instead, this hair towel simply collects your damp hair in its long tail like wrap and then you just twist it and pin it on top of your head. It comes in several colors (pink and white are what I have but blue and lavender are also available) and has super soft microfiber terry cloth that is so generous with your hair and is even better at patting your hair dry that won’t create a tangle your hair into a mess or pull out these sensitive bleached hair strands. It’s so soft that you can go ahh and won’t damage your colored locks like a regular bath towel does no matter how soft and fresh from your dryer but the point is that it is smaller and well suited for your hair only. You can baby your hair, especially those folks with long hair, and feel pampered with this on your head without worrying about damage. How great is that? Highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a gentle treatment after showering.

Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo by John Frieda

John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo

It has been a while since I used any drugstore products. But I have used John Frieda products in the past. They were okay. Now, John Frieda has new products added to their line plus has a new look. The new products I’m reviewing are the John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening shampoo and conditioner.

After one use, they did a good job of actually making your blond hair a bit lighter. My hair was a bit over porous but the shampoo and conditioner did make my hair look lighter by lifting out the purplish undertone that grabs the color so it looks more blonder. It reduces color pigments in your hair. If you have any remaining purple undertones from hair dye or toner because your hair wasn’t absorbing the color properly, the products will do their job of fading the color a bit and bring out the blonde. No ammonia or peroxide involved so your hair will not be damaged if using these products.

These are also perfect for those who want to go lighter gradually without undergoing another bleaching or dying process for a while. This is different from preventing hair to become brassy. This only focuses on making your hair more sun kissed and blonder whether you’re a warm or cool blonde. It even works on darker blondes, golden blondes, or highlights very well. It’s even safe to use daily and it has wonderful moisturizing properties that moisturize while lightening up your hair. A departure from original formula when I used John Frieda years ago.

Roux Porosity Control and Corrector Conditioner

Porosity Control and Corrector Conditioner by Roux

There are many products on market that caters to dry and chemically processed hair, but Roux has been producing excellent products for chemically treated hair. Roux came out with a conditioner that will correct the porosity in bleached or highlighted hair, so the color won’t grab too much when using a toner or hair dye. Normally, when the hair is bleached or lightened, it would grab the base color, hence, the pale purply looking hair. No fear! This lavender hue will go away in a few shampoos. By using Roux Porosity Control & Corrector conditioner, your hair will become a little healthier in terms of condition and color. By using this conditioner at least few times a week your hair color will become more even and turn out much lovelier. It also works on any dyed hair because the dyes changes the texture of your hair and would benefit from extra loving care. For your convenience, you can purchase this product below.
