Once upon a time, I had dry damaged hair. Wait – it was worse than that even, I had dry damaged BLEACHED hair. I had gone to a salon to get a few highlights in my [then] dark brown hair. After applying the bleach to my hair the hairdresser told me she was going to let it sit for a few minutes and she would be right back. Well, she forgot about me and went for lunch. I began panicking when I was unable to find the hair dresser who was supposed to be doing my hair, and kept asking the other hair stylists there if they knew where she went. Finally, one said that they thought she had left and she would take care of my hair. And that’s when we saw the damage.
My hair was truly in ruin. The bleach had turned my healthy brown hair into a white gummy breakable mess. For months even brushing my hair meant that huge chunks would break off. I had to cut off approx. 4 inches, I couldn’t style my hair, and I was afraid that she had burned my scalp with bleach to the point of no return. Quite the horror story. right?
Well, after that experience I went to a different salon where I found the hair dresser I have been going to since. She was the one who broke the news that I needed to cut off 4 inches, the one who helped nurse my hair back to health, and the one who turned me to some of the best deep conditioning treatments I’ve ever tried.
Now that a few years have passed, my hair is healthier and longer than ever. By using less heat on my hair, going ombre, and investing in great deep conditioners I’ve been able to turn all that horrifying damage around.

I have recently started using Living Proof and I am growing more convinced each day! Definitely planning to purchase the Restore Mask, I hope it'll work its wonders on my hair too and reduce that breakage..
Bree… I'm totally into hair conditioners and masks… I never used the Pantene one, I like that it cleans the build up and then moisturizes… xox ♡
These masks all sound incredible! I've only recently started getting interested in trying different treatments, but even applying coconut oil to my hair has convinced me I need to try new things. I will have to splurge on the Living Proof formula at some point…since their line has always impressed me.
