Hair
Goal in progress, Patience is the Key
Four months ago,
before Redken and Marie-Eve from salon Tocci worked their magic on my
hair, it was in the worst condition possible–no hair salon was willing to take
me in as a customer. My hair was very damaged and of course extremely brassy… I
remember complaining about my hair every second of my life, I hated it! After
going through this process, I learned how to have patience. The hair goal
photos you see on the Internet and on Instagram, don’t typically show the
process and how long it took to achieve that kind of “hair goal”. On average,
to achieve blonde hair from naturally very dark hair takes a minimum of three sessions
with each session being approximately 4 hours long, which means a minimum of 12
hours’ session is required. When I first found out how long it would take, I
was for sure surprised! I thought it would only take one visit to the salon to
complete. I’ve learned how to take this hair progress slowly, one step at a
time. The first photo is of my hair before I got it done with Marie-Eve and
Redken, it was very brassy, dry and damaged. Today, my hair is no longer dry
and brassy! To achieve your hair goal, you must take care of it properly
otherwise it won’t last more than two weeks. I know a lot of people who’ve done
their 12-hour hair session all in one day, however it will not give your hair
enough time to recover and repair the damage, so I suggest being patient and
doing it the right way. I am very happy I took this process slowly–I see a huge
difference in my hair thanks to my journey with Redken!
A new hair product discovery was the Blonde
Idol Custom Tone Violet.
This is a custom blend of colour deposit for your
hair to help neutralize brassiness. You can mix the purple tone with a
conditioner to be used as a treatment.

This is my current hair after 4 months of progress!
WHEN TO USE
FOR MINIMUM COLOR DEPOSIT
1-2 weeks after a haircolor service
When you are satisfied with current tone
To maintain newly colored hair
FOR MEDIUM COLOR DEPOSIT
3-4 weeks after a haircolor service
When tone needs to be slightly adjusted
After sun-exposure or light swimming

5-6 weeks after a haircolor service

This product can be used daily at a minimum colour deposit
or up to twice a week at medium or maximum deposit.
Another product that I’ve discovered and love is the All
Soft Argan-6 Hair Oil.
This oil is perfect for dry, brittle hair as it
provides softness and nourishes split ends.
Do not be afraid to take it slow
sometimes, anything good is worth waiting for!
