After years and years of having my hair highlighted, I decided to try something new. My natural hair color is a darker brown, so I thought the Ombre' look would be a great way to darken my hair up while still keeping some blonde. One of my biggest concerns is prolonging the life of the dark hair color. Often times we get our hair colored and a few weeks later the nice color we started with has faded to something totally different. My other concern was that the blonde portion tends to look more dried out and frizzy.
I am happy to share Ouidad hair care products with you! Ouidad has an excellent hair care system that helps to preserve your hair color, allowing your color to last longer before fading. Now, I am sure your thinking the same thing I thought, isn't Ouidad for curly hair? Let me tell you, my hair is as straight as it gets and this line works amazing! Of course, Ouidad will still work wonders on curly hair.
Here are before and after pictures (sorry about the lighting). You can see a difference just from using the products one time. The Color Sense Collection removes product build up that can leave your hair looking dull and lackluster, brightens, and smoothes. The frizziness on the ends look much smoother and softer, blending together much more naturally than they had in the Before picture.
To properly use these products, allow the conditioner to set for about 3 minutes before rinsing. Once a week, follow up with the Shine Boosting Color Extender. Allow the Extender to set for about 10 minutes before rinsing, then style as usual.
