I am on a healthy hair journey - using deep conditioning masks, abstaining from heat styling along w/using hair product also.
I look like a skunk 🦨 w/my gray and black hair but I need to give my hair a break from all the damage that hair color entails!
If hair color is damaging your hair, then your stylist is doing it wrong. I've been getting blonde and bronde balayage for years from the same stylist, and no significant damage. I use k18 masque/oil/dry shampoo/shampoo/condish and Olaplex 0,3,4,5,7,9 and their clarifying shampoo. I alternate between brands every month or so. I also use r&co cleansing conditioner as needed. Aluram Glossing treatment 1x a week in place of condish. I wash and style my hair 2x a week max during the winter. In the summer I wash about 3x but use the R&Co condish cleanser more and air dry a lot more.
Styling products I use Olaplex 9, Moroccan spray heat protectant, and/or Amika the shield. I only dry/style my hair with either the Dyson Airstrait or the Airwrap. Use Unite or R&Co hairspray to set.
I get balayage and a good haircut 1-2x a year as needed and tone it 2-4 months as needed with a little trim.
