shine prodct 4 brown hair ex bleach head

Oops- sounds like you meant to say thanks to delin...

I've played with the thought of bleaching my hair to blonde. I did it once upon a long time ago and don't remember it being too bad,but maybe I'm just blocking out the bad memories !
Probably better to stick to dark... .

hiya nikkie my hair wasnt black. it was a med/dark brown. i went gradually at the hairdressers she used foils and i got up to a golden blonde. then i had it done again with foils and it got up to a white blonde. although beuase of my natural hair it was always throwing up orange tones so i had to have it reguarly toned to get it pale again.

thanks guys yeah i have heard good things about kerasilk. nursie yeah my hair was bleached. i had a darkener on it and thena semi permanaent to get rid of the red tone. i think the semi perm may have washed out now that wasabout 4 weeks ago i had it done and its gone quite light again.

if i understand correctly, you have dyed over previsouly bleached blonde hair.......me too! i use l'oreal color gems demi permanent to put in all sorts of lowlights (yes, i have about five different colors on my head, and i've gotten lots of compliments!)...i gradually built up the color over several months because at first my bleached hair just let all that color wash right off, but now it holds well....this has made my hair super shiny, no shine products needed

another thing that helps i believe is i use the conditioner that amandabeechwood from here recommends: goldwell kerasilk, it is amazing    ...sometimes i alternate with neutrogena triple moisture that amm recommends, it really seems quite close in comparision to the goldwell

Schwarzkopf Bonacure Total Repair Treatment once a week, and Scharzkopf Herbal Sealant after coloring and every two-three shampooings. I think a good shampoo and some good conditioners go a much longer way to keeping shine in the hair than any product you leave on the hair.

I've had that same problem

mine wasn't holding the permanent color well so I added a semi permanant color over it with a slightly lighter semi perm dark color for highlights and it has held much better.

I put my hair through hell. It was bleached platinum. I made it black. Then went blonde again not too long after. I couldn't stand my naturally dark blond growing out so fast and having to bleach roots again so I went black/brown next. It's so much healthier now with it darker even though I've put it through hair hell a few times over. When it fades and the ends start losing the color a semi perm color really helps and is pretty gentle to apply. My hair always seems shinier after that.

As far as products I've had good luck with:
redken extreme anti-snap
ion oil free glosser
farouk silk therapy
and texture shine texture line by artec(use just a little or it weighs it down).

Good luck. With a good shampoo and regular protien and conditioning treatments your hair will start to look like new in no time. I thought mine was hopeless but it's getting so much healthier by keeping it dark and surprisingly the majority of people I know prefer it dark on me. I was some shade of blond my entire life until recently and I'm enjoying the change.
