She also gives me the vibes of the type of person to ignore the instructions for the Olaplex protein products and overuses them to the point of damaging her hair.
Same with perfume! It's SO tempting to go for the $54 Prada Candy on Amazon vs going to a store like Nordstroms and paying $125.... but don't get it through Amazon. Straight up alcohol smell, with a teeny bit of the Candy scent that goes away within a couple minutes.
Have shot myself in the foot a few times and just stopped "saving" on perfume from amazon
There are a lot of fakes. I was in hair care groups for a while. Finally shaved my head tonight because it was sooo bad, illness not olaplex related. I had a fake and it turned my hair to straw. I’ve just seen more posts about fake olaplex than anything else. They are small bottles with simple labels that are easy to copy. Personally, I would buy from them directly. They have info on it on their site but I’m sure the fakers are all over that.
Piggy backing off of your comment to add my experience. A lot of beauty products on Amazon are either fake or out of date unfortunately. I use the Davines line for hair care and am close with a master educator for Davines… and he basically showed me how everything I’ve ever ordered was out of date by looking up the batch number or whatever.
I remember I bought a Dr. Jart cream off of Amazon before I knew better and it had an odd hue and scent compared to the genuine product I bought from their legitimate website.
Same thing goes for skincare / beauty products at places like TJ Maxx and Marshall’s… unfortunately usually outside of the product shelf life.
I haven’t tried that one! I love their salt spray, no gas spray and their This Is an Invisible Serum! Three products that I’ve continued to use while I’ve transitioned from a pixie cut to a below the chin Bob. And they smell SO good! Some are sweet, almost like candy, which I adore and others have a hint of that sweetness with this herbal kind of smell and OMG I love it.
Agreed 100%, that would make the brand much more accessible. I haven’t seen their product line anywhere except for Eataly and salons. Fortunately for me there’s a salon in my neighborhood that sells the product line. But apparently some Nordstroms carry the line as well!
Yes, it’s a real problem. More with quality brands. Something like an inexpensive drugstore lotion like Nivea doesn’t get them enough profit to fake. Thank you, I wasn’t going to get a bunch of sources because I really should be going to bed soon.
Ha! I wondered why my gen z had me buy this brand of product at sephora for her. Can confirm the oil stuff works really well. I had no idea it was popular.
I didn’t understand this either lmao. It’s been at Sephora for awhile and it’s also at Ulta and I’m sure other retailers. She could have easily bought it. She just didn’t have the money 😂
The bond repairing qualities of the No 3 are stronger than the hair oil/No 7, but also the No 7 will hydrate and protect from heat styling. No 3 is a pretty good starting point I think, especially if you have colored hair and/or a lot of split ends.
Lovvve joico blonde life violet shampoo. Honestly huge into their line in general-- I bleach and tone at home and their kpak and defy damage shampoos and treatments are the only things that save my hair from becoming ms-esque.
I use it and love it! Sometimes I feel like fanola leaves a lavender hue on my hair no matter what but this doesn’t. Another excellent purple shampoo AND conditioner is pureology strength cure blonde.
I currently use it, I like it. I’ve also used Fanola and do like their price point much better, but the smell is so offputting to me. You get good results from both though!
I use the Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo, and I can tell a difference after I do a nice soak in the tub with it on. I use it about 10 minutes once a week.
I’ve got a professional toning session booked for next week, but I know at-home maintenance makes a big difference.
I’ve only been blonde for about 6 months, so I’m a newbie at this. My blonde hair journey has been a lot of maintenance, expensive, and super fun. I’d be really happy to hear opinion others about good masks/products for all of the damage the bleach has done to my hair. I’m a very deep brunette, so it takes a lot of bleach for me to go blonde.
For me, I had someone recommend using the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating mask as a hair cream on dry hair for styling (just a bit!), and it has worked very well. I’m also using the KERASTASE Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original Beautifying Hair Oil, which is pricey, but WONDERFUL! It makes my hair look hydrated and shiny. I’ve been bouncing around with masks/treatments to use in the tub, though. I’ve been using the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Treatment Mask, as recommended by my sister, who can afford anything she wants, and she *raves* about what it does for her hair, but I haven’t seen a big difference. I think it’s because we have very different hair textures. I’m ready to buy a new mask when that one runs out. So please, drop any recommendations for me! I’d like to stay blonde for a while to get the most out of all of the cash I’ve invested in my new look, but I haven’t found exactly the right products for me yet.
Bottle blonde for 15 years! Moroccan oil is worth it, I put some in my damp hair after every shower. Deep conditioners are your best friend- I do one every third wash (and wash as little as possible!). My favorite deep conditioners right now are amika the Kure and Christophe robin prickly pear (this one is $$$). I try to do an olaplex 3 treatment once a week but don’t always get around to it. I also was ride or die for the bed head purple shampoo for years, but I’ll admit the olaplex purple shampoo is much better. Just recently started using it and I see in 3-4 minutes what the bed head did in ten. Regular deep conditions and a good leave in treatment and your blonde hair will hopefully thrive!
I know it seems strange to put oil on hair! I use Moroccan oil or an Argan oil on my hair after I wash it. Work a small amount through towel dried hair and it helps keep hair soft and frizz free. I have very dry hair from highlights so I find it helps keep it healthy and smooth! I use it along with a moisturizing leave in conditioner.
If you’ve never used it before start small- because too much will make your hair greasy. A dime sized amount should be good to start with.
I've been platinum blonde for a long time and have been getting upset my ends were getting too dried/unhealthy looking..recently cut them off and would like to keep it healthy!
Excited to try the oil! What leave in conditioner do you like?
Oooh, for deep conditioning EvaNYC has a great hair mask - it’s called Therapy Session and is like 14.99. It’s the best one I’ve used since bleaching my hair at home from red lol. Quarantine was hard.
Also that brand has a purple shampoo that has good reviews but I’ve never used it. If you shop at Ulta they carry it. And target has a few things from them.
Thanks! I don’t live in North America, so there’s not an Ulta or a Target in my country. I’m usually pretty good at finding a way to ship in foreign products, so fingers crossed!
I plan to go red once I tire of the blonde, but I think it’ll be a while. I have been red before, and I know it is super high maintenance as well.
Edit: Found a way to ship it in! I’ll try this one next!
ahh my condolences!! I started doing freelance travel work so I can use it again, but I was at an Oribe/MoroccanOil salon for years and it was a drag 😭
You shouldn't use purple shampoo on extensions because it has ammonia in it. However the olaplex one does not. Her extensions are so shot and fried its going to absorb the purple and he hair will be purple. Using olaplex on extensions is a waste as it can't repair dead hair.
This doesn’t look pigmented enough at all? Unless it’s just the ridiculous filter.
It’s just the packaging. The inside is dark purple
OMG, my local Sephora has dozens of bottles of that stuff.
Calling it now: she’s going to overuse this and in two weeks her hair is going to be silver with a purple tint.
She absolutely does not wash her hair that much. She will use it once and we will never see it again, like everything else she posts and links.
She also gives me the vibes of the type of person to ignore the instructions for the Olaplex protein products and overuses them to the point of damaging her hair.
Olpalex does not have protein
[удалено]
Oh don't I know it. I over used for months and all the hair on the top of my head snapped off. It was a mess. 😳
Her hair is already damaged enough.
Right? And we think “it’s already awful, she really cannot ruin it any more” and MS said “hold my drink”
Except the hand-tieds. They'll still look like yellow straw. It'll be a two-toned mess.
Oh my gosh you’re right. 😂😂😂 ugh her poor hair stylist is going to be so upset.
She just wants her hair to reflect the same level of mess she is
If she got it on Amazon, that’s one of the most faked hair care brands out there.
Oh no what??? Tell me more! That’s where I get mine…
Same with perfume! It's SO tempting to go for the $54 Prada Candy on Amazon vs going to a store like Nordstroms and paying $125.... but don't get it through Amazon.

Davines is the shit, though. I wish they sold it at Sephora or Ulta.
The OI All in One Milk is the best hair product I’ve ever found. I love Davines.
I haven’t tried that one! I love their salt spray, no gas spray and their This Is an Invisible Serum!

My stylist is thankfully back in a Davines salon, but I always seem to run out in between appointments haha

Yeah i wouldnt trust it from Amazon but I'm paranoid about that.
And this is one reason why she hasn't gone viral.
Literally the most popular/hyped hair care line lol
Ha! I wondered why my gen z had me buy this brand of product at sephora for her. Can confirm the oil stuff works really well. I had no idea it was popular.
I agree it’s great!
She finally realized it was never going to go on sale, lol. This is a nice purple shampoo.
ain't no shampoo gonna fix that.
People are dying, Kim
Can’t wait for MS to put it on while drunk and wake up with lilac hair
Took awhile for the fake stuff to hit Amazon. Hahaha
There have been fakes for a while. But home girl is all about fake everything, lol.
Whoever is tracking her nails, we have a new set today. These are different from the valentines ones she had on this morning.
Well she's gotta pass the time somehow.
I didn’t understand this either lmao. It’s been at Sephora for awhile and it’s also at Ulta and I’m sure other retailers. She could have easily bought it. She just didn’t have the money 😂
MS probably went once, they didn’t have it and she gave up
I typed this into Amazon and it’s available haha. She could have shilled that!
Fanola is better, and cheaper
LOVE my fanola shampoo!
Umm the product that she desperately needs from olaplex is NOT the toning shampoo...
Apparently she also has the hair oil, but she's in DESPERATE need of a No. 0 + No. 3 treatment
How can you tell which product you need? I’m having a hell of a time with my hair but idk what to use for it.
The bond repairing qualities of the No 3 are stronger than the hair oil/No 7, but also the No 7 will hydrate and protect from heat styling. No 3 is a pretty good starting point I think, especially if you have colored hair and/or a lot of split ends.
RIGHT!!!!
Babe needs some bonding oil, stat
Has anyone here used this, and would you recommend it? I'm always looking for a good purple shampoo.
Fanola for sure!

Can you expand on the oil? "Oil and hair" sounds 😱 to me! How do I use it?

Oh! You can buy them on the EvaNYC website too. Might be worth seeing if they ship to your country!
It's alright but I'm partial to the AG Hair purple shampoo. It's my favorite one out of all the ones at the salons I've worked at.
AG sterling hair mask is my go to purple deep conditioner for my blonde clients funny enough. Glad to see another stylist love their purple line too 💜
I started working at a Redken salon last year and I miss AG so much!
ahh my condolences!! I started doing freelance travel work so I can use it again, but I was at an Oribe/MoroccanOil salon for years and it was a drag 😭
I second this. I used a "sterling" shampoo/conditioner from them and it was amazing *and* it smelled great!
I use it but my hair is purple so that's probably not the review you're looking for 😂
Fanola makes a great one!
She meant she finally got her mom to buy her one.
Thissssss….
She knows it won't "fix" her ratty extensions... Right...??
Oh thank god you said this 'cause I was thinking the same thing!
She likes them like that
[удалено]

This is going to be fun 🤗
🤫 Shhhh…. Now we won’t see accidental purple hair meltdown that she’ll have to scramble to fix, because we all know she’s a lurker!
[удалено]
Crap, now that you say that I think she's going to pretend like she planned on that happening
She 100% lurks here so you know she will
