HAIR COLOUR Q&A
1. mariamalsaif
Did you mean for it to be orange toned? Or was that after time it turned like that?
Black hair has natural undertones of red, so my hair tends to pick up warm tones quickly. Quick answer, it turned like that over time.

How do you maintain your curls after having your hair colered? I fear that I'll lose my curls if I color my hair.
I try not to use heat on my hair. So air dry, no straightening which helps a lot! Also not washing it so much, as shampoo dries it out. And once a fortnight I will use a leave in treatment. 100% Organic coconut oil is fantastic!

Did your hair get damaged after bleaching it?
A little bit, it felt dryer than usual, but regular trims help!

Do you use any special hair products after dying it? Or do you just continue your normal hair-routine?😊
I tend to continue using the same stuff, so nothing specifically for coloured hair. But I do make sure my shampoo's and conditioner's are sulphate free :)
5. kivnow
How do you maintain it in order for it to remain healthy and grow ?
Minimal heat, and plenty of moisture enriched products.

Hii How do you keep your hair from looking dry and strawy after you've dyed it? Thank you ♡
Hair oils are great! My fave one is the L'oreal mythic oil. Regular hair masks help too!!
Do you use box dye or bleach? Can you use toner over a box dye blonde? Or just purple shampoo? I'm dealing with some brassiness (I just dyed my hair a similar color)! ✌🏾&❤️
In the past I have used box dyes and you can use a toner or purple shampoo, no problem. I would say a toner is more effective. You may have to lighten it again to get rid of the orange, but wait a little so your hair won't get damaged :)

What is the healtiest way to lighten dark hair? + How would you describe your perfect hair
Perfect hair would be healthy and defined waves/curls. (Shakira hair!) and the healthiest way would be to do in stages to avoid breakage :)

What mask do you recommend for maintaining the colour and keeping the hair nice and healthy?
The Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense Cheveux Epais Treatment for Dry/Thick Hair is amazing!! I could notice a difference after one use :)
10. ajanature
How do you keep your hair that tone?
Toner helps and silver shampoo from time to time to help maintain it :)
11. paige.pearl
Thinking of dying my hair this color but in baliage.. Was it dyed on virgin hair or did you transition? How long did it take to get this light? Is your hair thinner/damaged? Love your vids :-) x
Thank-you Paige :) and my hair had dye from previous home attempts. All in all I would say it took about 2-3 sittings before it was a nice ashy tone, but everyone's hair will react differently to bleach :)

How do you dye it without making your curls drop?
Don't over process the hair with bleach and heat. if you're going lighter do it in stages, and keep heated styling tools to a minimum.
13. leleehoneyy
And how do you look after your hair post dye/bleach
Frequent masks and treatments, minimal shampooing (as this can dry your hair out) and heat.
I also tend to use the L'oreal Mythic Oil when styling, which is very rich and helps frizz! :)
So Lush have launched hundreds of new products which are currently exclusive to their new Oxford Street, London flagship store. I was lucky enough to attend their grand opening and below are some very modest photos of the shop.
The flagshop store has three floors, which includes a LUSH Spa located on the lower ground floor, and a hair lab on the top. All products are displayed wonderfully all around the shop, making any girl feel like Charlie visiting the chocolate factory!
Viewing the perfume section which is also located on the groud floor is a must! Not only do they sell perfume but you can take your nose, ears, mind, body and soul through a sensory journey.
Downstairs the LUSH spa offers many different treatments (which can be viewed here) but they also have designated rooms, filled with sounds, smells and other elements that have inspired the individual scents.
(Below is one of the rooms)
Little Dragon Bubble Bar - Covered in gold glitter, you crumble and break little bits of this under a hot running bath.
The Experimenter Bath Bomb - Pretty self explanatory - put this in your bath and watch the water change into water that looks like Unicorn tears!
Lime Pastille Buttercup - Pop it in the water and watch as your bath turns a lustrous green, scrented with citrusy lime and lemon oils and bursting with extra virgin coconut oil. Self-preserving and suitable for vegans.
"Tangled" Hot Oil Treatment - You melt this stick into a bowl filled with hot water until it becomes a cream consistency, then place on dry hair and leave for 20 minutes before washing out with shampoo.
Jersey Bounce Shampoo - For big hair! Ingredients include egg, lemons, sea salt and linseed.
Uptown Funk Body Spray - With neroli and the refreshing scent of lemon, this will keep your mood sky-high and skin feeling fresh when on the move!
Oxford Street Soap - Combining the most loved lush fragrances into one unforgettable soap.
Respect your Elders Soap - Ingredients include bergamont, buchu & olibanum.
Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream - Cocoa & tonka absolutes meld with grapefruit & bergamont oils to effectively brighten your mood.
