Over the years my hair has taken quite a beating. I used to bleach the crap out of it in high school and college. For some reason I thought since I was a “natural” blonde I needed to be platinum.

It comes out a bit chalkier but blends much better. I spray it on my hair before it starts to get oily as a precaution to absorb the oils. continue reading
