Brunette to blonde in ONE session!
My hair transformation from the dark side 😉
What I’ll be covering in this post.
Hey hey there my lovelies!
Have you ever thought…or worse, been TOLD “I/you can never go full blonde, your hair is just too dark”. ???
>>>AFTER
What I’ll be covering in this post
✂️ – Who I saw to go from almost black to light blonde in ONE SESSION! And how you can locate someone close to you.
✂️ – How long it took
✂️ – What products were used
✂️- Did I have to cut my hair after from damage?
Who I saw and how YOU can find someone
I went to see a friend from waaay back. Her name is Leah Langford, and she is amazing! (If you’re in the Utah area and want more info, drop a comment or email me!) You can check out her Insta HERE
She’s done amazingly on every one of my sister’s hair (and yeah, we ALL have course, thick, dark scary to work on hair lol).
Here’s what makes Leah stand out
1. She uses Olaplex-If you are doing blonde anything (and you’re not a natural blonde) get a stylist that uses Olaplex. And if your current stylist doesn’t know what Olaplex is, I would legit RUN NOW! (Read how it works HERE becuase going into all the details would be a whole post alone 🤪) Also, to find an Olaplex stylist near you, go HERE
2. She takes the TIME. My girl Leah seriously does not shy away from doing all she can to get the color you WANT in one session. Trying to find someone to take me from brunette to blonde I found that the typical response went like this.
“Expect it to take between 4-6 hours, and it probably won’t be exactly what you want because your hair is so dark, so it will probably take 2-3 appointments.” BLEH! Ain’t nobody got time for that! Hello! I’m a busy mom! Who else 🙋🏼♀️
3. “Low and Slow” Going brunette to blonde is NO simple task, and yeah it takes TIME! 6 hours is not enough. Leah’s method is “Low and Slow” meaning, she makes the hair process aka bleach at a slower pace, so you can allow the hair to bleach longer, with less damage. Find someone who will do the same. 🙌🏽
How Long Did It Take?
Yeah so brace yourself….15 HOURS! 😅
But like I said, this is no easy task, and requires a slooow processing time. I’d much rather sit through and pay for ONE appointment and get what I want, than to to sit through 6 hrs three times, and pay each of those times AND have to wait weeks in between sessions with hair not 100% where I want it to be.
What products were used?
I half answered this already, but number 1 would be OLAPLEX
She also used a really strong repair treatment by ProDesign the Tiger Recunstruct spray.
Did I have to cut/trim my hair after from damage?
No denying that my hair definitely DID take a beating. But NO I did NOT have to cut AAANY length off!!! 🎉🙌🏽. In fact Leah kept commenting on how little fall out my hair had in general. Thanks to the the ‘Low & Slow” method + Olaplex my hair stayed fairly healthy. Woot Woot!
