I have been a blonde for about 12 years. I loved being a blonde. But after 12 years, I was starting to get bored. In all honesty, I’ve been bored with blonde for quite a while, but I had no idea what I wanted. I wanted a change, but I didn’t want to go back to any of the multitude of hair colours I had before the blonde. I’ve done red. I’ve done plum. I’ve done dark brown.
I’ve been a bit obsessed with grey/silver and denim hair for a while, but I was too scared to try it. What if grey just made me look older?! I am 38 and the blonde highlights have been doing a pretty decent job of hiding the grey I already have. And denim? What if that just made me look like an ‘old tannie‘ trying too hard?!
I was on my way to Style Bar a couple of weeks ago to get my roots done, and on my way there (about 10 minutes from the salon) my sister talked me into it… I was going denim!
I was strangely calm about the decision.
My Hair Makeover: From Blonde to Denim
Before…
After…
I am in love with my hair!! It’s still a work in progress, but we’ll get to that perfect shade of blue grey that I’m after.
Thank you to Style Bar and my amazing stylist. It’s been a pleasure!
And thank you to my sister for forcing me into it ;)
If you follow me on Social Media, you would have seen my clues, giveaway and eventual unveiling of the contents of the Retailbox Secret Box no. 18. Not sure what the RBSecretBox is?
#RBsecretbox is an exciting opportunity for new and existing Retailbox customers to treat themselves to premium products they have possibly not tried before. Each #RBsecretbox is priced according to the products inside so prices will vary as every box is different and from different suppliers. This is an exclusive offer with limited stock and a massive discount making it a much sort after offer and a bonus of no subscriptions to tie you down.
The only clue that was given on Retailboxabout box #18… ‘Enhance your curly side with this vegan Sulphate free range’.
So what was inside the box?
Pureology Curl Complete Shampoo and Conditioner (plus a gorgeous fluffy turbin)
This was my first time trying this brand and I have been very curious (to say the least) as all the reviews I have read are stellar.
Pureology Curl Complete Shampoo – R278
This shampoo is specifically formulated for curly colour-treated hair, which is perfect for my naturally curly and highlighted (read: DRY!) hair. The shampoo foams well for a sulphate-free product and gently cleanses the hair. The formula is thick and creamy and smells lovely. Curl Complete Shampoo contains an Anti-Fade Complex and Coconut Oils to replenish moisture and erase frizz.
Pureology Curl Complete Conditioner- R316
I was worried that the conditioner would be too light for my hair and that I would have to use half the bottle to detangle this bossiekop, but the conditioner turned out to be my favourite of the two products. I only need a little bit of product to detangle and to leave my hair feeling soft and smooth. Result: Soft, shiny, healthy-looking curls. I REALLY like this conditioner. It is also ideal for fine hair as it does not weigh the hair down at all.
I’ve noticed that my hair actually feels thicker since I started using this range. I have a lot of hair, but it is very fine. The condition of my hair has improved and I am really happy with the results.
Two thumbs up Pureology.
And two thumbs up Retailbox for a great Secret Box! This Secret Box went for only R280 and if you hurry you may still be able to get your hands on one. You can click HERE to see if they still have stock.
I am a big fan of the #RBSecretbox. All of the boxes that I’ve received have been great value for money.
