I've had a couple of people asking me about my hair so thought I'd write a blog post to give you the low down of how I've acquired long blonde hair. Blonde hair is a struggle as the colour fades goes yellow often and the damage bleach does to your hair is awful. My hair extensions are Lush hair and are fantastic, I've found with hair extensions it's better to just spend the money because it is worth it. More expensive extensions have more hair and don't damage as easily this means you not only have to buy new ones less often but you also only have to buy one pack. I hate putting hair extensions in as it's time consuming and they never feel right so I'm constantly playing around with them. However one of my friends gave me the brilliant idea of sewing wefts together, this means that you have less clips in your hair to move around and fall out. I think this only left me with having four strips to put in, two at the back and one each side because I ended up sewing three wefts together to make a one single thick strip.
Now to keep my hair blonde, blonde, I use a silver shampoo one or twice a week which I leave in for 5 minutes before washing out, I use the pro:voke touch of silver shampoo. It is amazing and I'd reccommened it to anyone trying to keep their hair from yellowand dull hair. Although I'd advise when using this make sure you use a treatment conditioner after as it can dry out your hair, I use a conditioner with Moroccan Argan oil in by Loreal Paris Elvive as it does the job perfectly and leaves me with shiny soft hair,
Another quick tip is only brush your hair extensions with a Tangle Teezer, as this stops hair falling out the extensions which makes them last longer. Tangle teezers are defiantly worth the money, I've been trying to grow my natural hair and was recommended to only use this to brush my hair and it's been 100% making a difference. You can also use a Tangle Teezer when you have extensions in the brush your hair as it doesn't pull out the clips and works a treat.
