Firstly, the dye simply won't stick to the bleached bits and 'permanent' colours rinse out to a light/ medium brown colour after a couple of washes, so I now have black hair with brown bits at the front :/
Secondly, the parts at the front are a bit fried and frizzy and the strands literally break in my hands when I'm washing it. :0
What to do? I needed an intensive conditioner, and I needed it fast.
I would love to have waltzed into a salon and indulged in a half hour treatment while munching on complimentary biscuits and flicking through Elle, but my budget simply won't allow such privileges, so I told myself that I will have to find the solution at Boots, using only the points on my Boots Card.
Problem? I had only £2.23 on my rewards card.
Solution? Alberto Balsam intensive conditioning treatment for £1.07.

Containing extracts of almond & honey, this treatment is rich, thick and nourishing and claims to repair damage (which is what I need), smooth the hair cuticle and restore softness, manageability and shine.

It's super easy to use - just squeeze out a generous helping, and put it on your hair, concentrating on the nasty bits. Leave for a few minutes, then rinse.

I used this last night, and I can honestly report that my hair feels considerably softer and silkier, though I think my bleached parts are beyond help and I'm going to have to wait that one out!
All in all, this treatment is lovely and an absolute bargain. The best aspect of it, in my humble opinion is the scent - it smells just like honey and almonds (funny that).
I would definitely buy this again.
Have you tried this treatment, or something similar?
Thank you for reading :)

Your hair looks amazing! It's different, I really like the blonde. I know what it's like to have hair dying disasters. I once spent a particularly memorable night crying on my bathroom floor because my hair had gone like bubblegum when bleaching the black dye out of my hair! Never going to make that mistake again lol.

Thanks Lea! I loved it for a while, but it's dark again now. I think it was one of those looks that meant I had to have it styled ALL the time, otherwise it just looked a bit weird! My front bits (of my hair that is ehehe) are a bit like bubblegum when they're wet now, all stringy and grosse :0 xx
DeleteThis looks like a miracle:-) I ve never heard about this, but I would definitely buy !:-)
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice Mila, you should give it a go - if anything for the gorgeous smell! x
DeleteI've done the black dye over bleach, too. I just seems like it would work! I'm glad you found something good! I think your hair is awesome. I've found that Marilyn Hair Mask from Lush works very well for hair repair.
