hair care routine

 
 
 
 When summertime approaches, I tend to get my hair colored a shade or two lighter than my normal hair color. I got an ombre done for the first time a few months ago and I love it; however, when I got a haircut recently, my hairdresser told me how damaged my hair is because of it. Even though I didn't have a single split-end, she said my hair doesn't feel as great as it used to when she combed her fingers through it. So, she recommended I use Schwarzkof Professional BC KUR Color Specific Hair Mask to repair the damage. Her advice was to focus on my ends and even though the directions say to use it 1-2 times a week, she said to use it every time I wash my hair. I've used it for almost two weeks now and I think my hair has improved significantly.
 
Another hair care product I've been using religiously is the Kerastase Huile K Sublime. One bottle lasted me half a year, so I consider it a very good investment. It smells amazing, so I use it as a hair cologne as well as a leave-in conditioner. I apply 1-2 pumps of the Kerastase to my wet hair, and 1 pump after I blow dry my hair. I highly recommend this product!
 
 
What kind of hair care products do you use? Let me know in the comments :)
 
Thanks for reading!

beauty essentials



I feel like most of my recent posts are from my photo shoots, so I decided to post something a bit different this time :)


After moving to Tokyo, I've become very picky when it comes to beauty products. The makeup artists at my photo shoots would recommend products, or hairstylists would give me tips and recommendations on how to style or treat my hair. And so far, these haven't let me down. 

From left to right:
Trader Joe's tea tree oil
Kerastase Huile Sublime leave-in hair treatment
Nivea SPF 30 water gel sunscreen
Caudalie cleansing water for face and eyes
Bioderma Solution Micellaire makeup remover
Bioderma Eau Dermatologique spray-on toner
Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre moisturizer + primer

Spending a little extra on beauty products can make a huge difference.
Do you use any of these products?



Love,
