Today I thought I'd try something a little different and talk a bit about my hair, which has been every shade of blonde possible, it's crackin'.
My favourite way of having my hair is icy white blonde, something that may or may not have happened after I read Game of Thrones and decided I wanted to be Daenerys Targaryen. Which I really truly do.
It's no surprise that my hair takes a hell of a lot of upkeep and trips to the hairdressers (Hey M&I!). But after 22 (nearly, there was those times when I was ginger and brunette) of being a blondie, I've learnt what works for my hair and how to use it, so I thought it'd be cool to share that with any other blondes or aspiring Khaleesis!!
1. BaByliss Natural Bristle Brush - I can't find evidence of this online anymore irritatingly, but it's very similar to the Denman's natural bristle brush which is on sale in Boots. Natural bristles mean less breakages to hair when styling it which is fab because my hair is naturally frizzy and all over the place. I also think it speeds up drying time, winner winner!
2. Lee Stafford Golden Girl Oil - Okay be prepared for a lot of Lee Stafford in this post. I LOVE HIM. I've only recently bought this oil, but have already fallen in love and wondered how I've managed to cope without it. I have stupendously thick hair and conditioner likes to glue itself to my scalp and make my hair look gross and like straw at the midlengths and ends. Which is where this bad boy comes in! I use a pump on my wet hair and then dry it immediately It makes my hair feel so much less weighty and dull, I'm like a VS model.
3. Lee Stafford Hot Shots - Another LS product, this is my favourite. These sachets of purple treatments are lifesavers in between trips to the hairdressers. I use them every other time I wash my hair and instantly feel better about life when I have. Use them after shampooing to refresh your colour and stop those horrific brassy tones. It's like having a toner each time I use them, I cannot recommend them enough, lovelovelove.
4. Lee Stafford Bleach Blonde Shampoo - I love when I have my hair different tones. I've had blue, peach, pink and even purple, one of my faves. This shampoo is like a godsend for us bleachies and use it enough, it can add a little purple tinge to your locks, bonus! If that's not your style though, still go for it, used once a week and with the Hot Shots, it keeps everything looking bright and beautiful!
5. Toni & Guy Prep Heat Protection Mist - THIS IS IMPORTANT. I can't tell you how much of a difference I can see between using this spray and not. Blonde breaks more easily than brunette hair and if you're a slave to your straighteners, you're gonna need this! Rather than fry your hair, T&G mist protects against the damage caused with styling and stops that horrible scarecrow frizz I was so familiar with before I discovered it.
6. GHD Gold Series Classic Straightener - I am a huuuuuuuuuge GHD fan. I have the amazing curling wand too, but until I've mastered the beach babe waves, I've been using my mum's (sorry mum) straightener and I don't think you can get much better. Smooth and easy to use, everyone from the rookie hair styler to the pro can get maximum results from these. Because the heat plates are ceramic, it reduces the likeliness of frizz and breakage and you can't protect your locks enough, A must have for any hair colour!!
So, Daenerys's, Debbie Harrys, Dolly Partons, Marilyns and Hannah Montanas (?) of this world, I hope I have helped you out. These are my all time holy grail products for any Dothraki queen. Have you got any bleach blonde must haves? Let me know!
Cheerio,
Hope x
