About 6 months ago, I had dark red hair, and I have had my hair dark for as long as I can remember, this summer however it was time for a change, I was fed up always looking pale and washed out, so I decided the best way to look healthier was to go light for summer.
My hair is naturally a darkish blonde, but I honestly cant remember the last time it was ever visible, what with being a hairdresser and just totally obsessed with doing my hair as soon as I saw my roots appear, I coloured my hair instantly!
About five years ago when I was studying Hairdressing, one of my friends from my class asked me if I would be her model for a hairdressing competition, which of course I agreed too. At this point my hair was nearly down to my waist and if perfect condition, and she asked me if she could cut it short, and shave one side! Rihanna Style! I was abit hesitant at first, but decided to go for it. Why not.. It would grow back right?! I kept my hair short for about 4 years, and recently decided to grow it again, so I have refused to have it cut.
I have had my hair highlighted now about 4 times, and it just wont lighten up enough to the colour I am after, and the more I am highlighting the more damaged my hair is getting :( The colour on the ends of my hair still have quite a strong red undertone, and as soon as I go into the sun it is really visible!
So I started thinking about going back dark, just because it was easier and less damaging for my hair, and II was getting pretty fed up with it if i'm honest. Until I found this....
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray
Usually products like this never work, they get really hyped up, and then do nothing. When I bought this I really didn't hold out much hope, but it has proven me wrong! I only spray the ends of my hair with this, and then comb it through just to make sure it doesn't go patchy, I have used this 7 out of the 10 times it recommends and my hair is noticeably lighter, and it doesn't look so red!
If you have highlighted hair and just want to lighten it up slightly for summer, then go out a grab this, such a reasonable price for such a great product!
Hope this helps anyone with similar hair problems!
