Question
Hi there,
I had my hair highlighted and for the first 2 days my hair looked stunning. Now that I’m doing it my hair appears to be dry and yellow. I bought silver shampoo and I bought a very good treatment for my hair but it still appears dry and horrible

Hi Gail. I am not sure what the condition was like before your highlights. When your hair is highlighted, the product removes pigment, but it can also remove your hair’s natural lipids for softness and shine, as well protein for its strength, especially if an inferior Decolorising or “Bleaching” powder is used. There are alot of professional brands that only remove colour and in fact add lipids and protein to the hair when highlighting. But you also get your cheap and nasty products.
The other thing that could’ve happened is that the stylist mixed Decoloriser with a strong volume of peroxide which can be damaging on the hair, but can also process too quickly, causing the hair to turn yellow, instead of slowly processing to a healthier pale yellow. The best products to use for damaged and dry highlighted hair is either Redken Extreme Shampoo R206 and Leave in Anti Snap R290. A great Silver Shampoo is from Matrix Total Results R105. The other alternative is Matrix Biolage Fortify Shampoo R125, Conditioner R135 and Leave in treatment R155. I would also suggest you let your stylist know how you feel, especially since you bought after care for your hair. I would suggest a few in salon treatments as well. Good luck

Question
Good day,
I have dry, curly hair and don’t like it that much and sometimes it’s oily, I have to wash my hair every 2nd day!
My hair also tend to fall out a lot. I do use a straitner but not that often, maybe once evry 2 weeks. My hair has horrible split ends and I cant stand it any more. I just want to know if you maybe have any advice to solve my problems because I have tried a lot of products that just don’t seem to work, I have tried cheap and expensive products but none give me a result.

Who in CT offers the Brazilian Keratin treatment which you keep referring to at a reasonable price? It definitely sounds like something I need to have done.
