wonders if anyone here uses brightening shampoos for blondes and which ones work best. i bought clairol shimmerlites.. a great smell. i have not noticed brighter blonde hair though. maybe i need to use it a week or sumethin
I use LUSH's Marilyn hair treatment twice/month.
I used this along with their blonde shampoo bar. It very subtle, it more or less makes your hair more shimmery in light rather than actually lighten it. Oh, and you have to be patient.
Quick question: how did you apply Marilyn? It's really runny, so I've been scooping with a spoon and then combing out with a big, wide tooth comb. Any tips?
I wet my hair first (not saturated, but like it's been towel dried), the dampness seems to help it spread, tangle less, it also helps you use less product but still get it to cover all your hair and it drips less. I use about a quarter of the pot with this method on my waist length (though fine) hair. I then wrap it in cling wrap and then a small towel.
oh,well it is a bit of a toner so you gotta rinse really well. it did this to my hair the first time i used but just gotta rinse it. my hair is heavily bleached but two tone. brown underneath. the more bleached i got the more shimmer worked. no more problems.I hate Clariol Shimmering Lights conditioner. Turned my bleached hair light blue so I put a warning issue on this to friends with bleached hair.
