Ombré Hair Care
Wednesday, December 07, 2016
Now that it's winter, I have decided to go back to being a full brunette which is gonna take some getting used to given it's been a good 7 years. Since then I have been dark red, dark purple and currently have brown/blonde ombré which took a while to get right, given all the red pigment in my hair. Before my hair appointment tomorrow, I wanted to share the products I currently use to care for my ombré. I've taken the images from the brand websites as they look a lot prettier than the ones in my shower!
First up, shampoo. I use two different shampoos. The first one is Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash which was recommended by my hairdresser in Australia. I've used this shampoo for a really long time and am about to order a new one. This has been so super helpful to me since I arrived back in the UK because my hair was in for a big shock with the climate change and the hard water. It lasts ages, it lathers up really well which I was surprised with because I've had mixed results with salon shampoos in the past. It keeps my colour perfectly intact and I find that even before using conditioner, my hair feels really clean and soft, not straw-like. I can not recommend this shampoo enough, truly!
Finally, Conditioner. In the past, I did use the Hydrate Me Rinse which is the conditioning sister to the Hydrate Me Wash which again I was really impressed with in regards to quality and softness of my hair. However, once I was noticing my ombré was looking dull, my Australian hairdresser recommended I use the Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel conditioner as it "refreshes and repairs brassy and yellowed blonde tones". Some people are put off by the colour of it as it's very purple but the purple has never shown in my hair. I can't speak for people who have silver/blonde hair all over but they've also made review comments that the colour is fine. It's a great conditioner that leaves your hair feeling like you've had a salon treatment and even with the hard water here, I rarely have to use any leave-in treatments. Now that I've run out of the product and am going back to brown, I might go back to using the Hydrate Me Rinse I think.
I have tried quite a few of the Kevin Murphy products, for instance when I've run out and have to borrow Mum's but I won't do a review on each of them as I don't use them permanently. Always impressed and a big thumbs up from me though!
Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash £18.00
Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Rinse £19.00
Kevin Murphy Blonde.Angel £19.00
Bed Head Dumb Blonde by TIGI There is no price on the website but from memory I think I paid about £17.00
