November Hair Update & Favourite
Styling Tricks
With December just right around the corner, my hair is
getting closer and closer to its final result. This month, I went back to Salon
Tocci and Marie-Eve for a little touch up on my hair, as it’s been a month since
I last got it done and my roots were slowly growing out. I did a touch up on my
roots, changing the black to a dark brown so it looks more natural. Instead of doing
what we usually do (lightening my hair) Marie-Eve and I decided to give my hair
a little break, so she treated my hair with Redken’s
newest treatment called Heat Cure. It is a professional in-salon treatment that
can remove up to a year of surface damage. Hair feels regenerated, soft and is
easier to manage after the treatment. This treatment was quick, easy and I was
able to see a huge result. After this treatment, my hair was silky, smooth and
softer than it’s ever been! The end of November actually makes my six months of
hair journey with Redken–I began my hair transformation at end of April, and I
can’t believe how light my hair has gotten! I am super excited for the final
result this December.
A lot of you have been emailing me on how I do my hair and
the products that I used to achieve my everyday hair. Here are little styling
tricks for y’all!
I normally like to style on clean and first day, washed
hair–since after each time I style it, I probably won’t wash my hair for a
couple of days. I know it may sound gross, but this is the struggle with blonde
hair; I can’t wash my hair everyday, but that's a job for my dry shampoo.
After washing my hair and letting it semi-dry, I apply
Redken Frizz
Dismiss Smooth force and Instant
Deflate. These two products are infused with Brazillian Pracaxi Oil which
helps with smoothing and keeping hair moisturized.
Before I apply any heat to my hair, I like to use the Redken
Iron
Shape 11 Thermal Protection Spray, after spraying that all over my hair, I
comb it out to help avoid all the tangles.
For Straight Hair:
I normally use my T3 Micro hair straightener, it’s probably
one of the best hair straighteners that I’ve tried out this year as it doesn’t
dry out my hair like others.
How I straighten my hair is pretty simple and
straightforward–I normally like to curve it inward at the bottom of my hair so
it creates more body.
After finishing the heat process, I like to flip my hair upside
down and use hair spray all over it, then flip it back up so it creates more
volume.
For Curls:
I have recently been addicted to curling my hair, and my
curls normally last up to four days!
After following all the previous steps, I would use the NUME
Wand (it comes with three different size wands), currently using the biggest
size, as it’s perfect for that effortless loose curl look.
I normally start curling from front to back so I know how to
separate and part my hair and I tend to curl it outwards so it’s away from my
face. I usually start the curl from 2/3 of my hair, mostly focusing on the ends
because I personally don't like it when my hair is curled from too high up (it
makes my head appear bigger than it already is). I alternate from inward and
outward curls for the rest of my hair so it does not appear “too clean”. After
curling, I just spray a strong hold hairspray all over my hair. I typically
sleep in curls (in a low bun) in order to keep the curls “messy”. The next day,
you will achieve the messy curl look! Of course, don’t forget to dry shampoo
your hair, greasy roots is definitely a no go!
Love,
Chloe Zhang
