Current Haircare Routine

Lately I've been complimented on my hair a lot and that actually baffles me since, even though I have been taking care of it, I still haven't introduced anything revolutionary into my haircare routine. In fact, I've been heavily breaking the rule of at least semi-regularly visiting a hairdresser. For the life of me, I cannot remember when was the last time I had a haircut. Six months ago, maybe even more? You'd think that that and tons of dry shampoo would wreak havoc on my tresses but they haven't looked this good in years time. So, what's the catch? In my case, it seems that just regular washing, occasional hair mask and a non-greasy hair oil do the trick! After using up my beloved Kerastase Bain Volumifique, I've opted for a budget-friendly Alverde shampoo with nettle and Melissa officinals for normal to oily hair. It was a random purchase really and it actually turned out to be awesome. This shampoo is pretty concentrated and thick so you don't need much per use. It's suitable for frequent use since it hasn't irritated my scalp and I found that it's mild enough not to cause trouble yet it thoroughly cleanses oily roots each time. Smells of sweet mint, lathers well and costs just 2$ – a bargain! After washing my hair, I follow it up with two dollops of Redken Extreme Anti-Snap leave-in treatment through the lengths. Smelling of strawberry smoothie, it hydrates the ends of my hair wonderfully without weighing them down whilst providing heat protection, which is handy if you constantly blow-dry your hair such as myself. When my hair is dry, I finish things off with two spritzes of Body Drench Moroccan Argan Oil dry oil for hair & body. Again, it falls into that hydrating yet not clingy category. It smells lightly fruity, the dispenser is ace (not “wet” but still with an edge) and it really does cater to skin and hair, equally well. It tames any flyaways, keeping frizz under control and making things very shiny. If I feel that my hair needs some extra TLC (about every ten days), I pop some of the Kerastase Nutritive Nutri-Thermique hair mask after shampooing, leave it for a couple of minutes and rinse with warm water. Afterwards my hair is silky smooth, soft as ever and delightfully shiny. That is pretty much what I have been doing with my hair and this combo makes growing it out easy-breezy. Now I feel ready for all the pretty Pinterest-worthy plaits. which is exciting! Do you change-up your hair routine and how often?

U posljednje vrijeme moja kosa kao da je razvila neki vlastiti ego i predmet je komplimenata vise nego obicno, zbog cega bih inace postala sumnjicava ali zaista sam se redovno brinula o njoj. Lijepo je znati da se trud i istrajnost isplate, iako (da budem iskrena) nista cime je tretiram nije revolucionarno. Stavise, mislim da izbjegavanje odlaska frizeru spada medju veci beauty grijeh ali stvarno mi ti odlasci stvaraju tjeskobu. Ruku na srce, ne mogu se sjetiti kada sam se posljednji put frizirala. Prije sest mjeseci, mozda cak i (mnogo) duze? Pomislila bih kako ce rijetko odlazenje pod makaze i cesta upotreba suhog sampona u potpunosti unistiti kosu ali desava se nesto neocekivano. Kosa je povratila prirodni sjaj, snaznija je nego inace, raste relativno brzo – u cemu je stos? U mom slucaju izgleda da sve sto je potrebno jeste redovno odrzavanje, nista vise. Nakon sto sam potrosila i posljednju kap svog voljenog sampona Kerastase Bain Volumifique, odlucila sam se za dosta stedljiviju opciju i nabavila sam sebi Alverde sampon za koprivom i maticnjakom za normalnu do masnu kosu. Ova potpuno spontana kupovina se ispostavila odlicnim potezom! Sampon je dosta gust i koncentriran a samim time ga nije potrebno kolicinski mnogo po koristenju. Pogodan je za cesto koristenje posto mi nije iritirao tjeme, nije ga isusio (niti krajeve kose) a dovoljno je efektan da svaki put lijepo osvjezi tjeme i ukloni visak sebuma. Mirisljav po slatkoj menti, pravi lijepu pjenu i kosta samo 3,50KM – zar sam mogla traziti bolje? Nakon sto operem koseu, krajeve pocastim sa dvije pumpice Redken Extreme Anti-Snap leave-in tretmanom.I ovo je mirisljavko – po smoothieju od jagoda – bas bogato hidrira krajeve ali ih ne otezava a ujedno ih stiti od topline. To bi bilo prilicno vazno za sve nas koji redovno susimo kosu fenom. Kada je kosa osusena, zavrsni korak je par kapi necega novog u rutini njege kose – Body Drench Moroccan Argan suho ulje za kosu i tijelo. Ponovo se radi o proizvodu koji pruza dovoljno njege krajevima kose a da ih ne oteza (tezina povlaci kosu ka dole i sve skupa gubi na volumenu). Mirise blago vockasto, pumpica je odlicna i nije foluska – ovo ulje sa jednakim uspjehom podmiruje potrebe kose i koze. Ukoliko procijenim da bi mi kosi dobro doslo malo dodatne njege (otprilike svakih deset dana), nakon samponiranja cu krajeve tretirati odlicnom Kerastase Nutritive Nutri-Thermique maskom za kosu koju ostavim da djeluje koju minutu prije ispiranja toplom vodom. Rezultat je svilenkasto mekana, divno sjajna kosa. I to bi bilo otprilike sve sto sam poduzimala po pitanju njege kose posljednjih mjeseci. Ova konkretna kombinacija proizvoda mi odlicno pase posto je i kosa narasla a da ne pokazuje znakove ostecenja. Osjecam kako cu ovog ljeta spremno docekati sezonu pletenica (Pinterest je neiscrpna inspiracija!). Zanima me da li vi sezonski ili na osnovu nekog drugog kriterija mijenjate/rotirate proizvode za njegu kose?
