BLEACH not blonde

Good morning Upper East Siders...

Let's start off with some facts. Clear facts. Nobody really cares what some 20something homo from Glasgow has to say about toiletries and beauty products. This is not a beauty blog. This is not anything other than opinion.

Where else to end up on an unsuccessful payday shopping spree than old faithful Boots? Land of the 3 for 2 on pretty much anything, advantage card points and unecessary toiletries and products that yes, are total impulse buys...can always be relied upon to relieve some hard earned money when all else fails.



Despite many a hard learned lesson about dabbling in peroxide, your boy's fascination with experimenting with a dip dye has been reignited with Khloe Kardashian's FLAWLESS ombre locks. Where else to head than the freshly launched range of BLEACH London products at Boots? BLEACH - for those of you who have been living under an Instagram free rock for the last year - is a cult London salon widely credited with the multi-coloured My Little Pony inspired pastel dip dyes many of you are now trying to grow out. With a new range of at-home products including a DIY dip dye kit receiving great reviews, it would be a lie to say the thoughts of "okay, I know my hair is finally recovering from being completely fucked with last winter's attempt at blonde, but would a wee bit of a dip dye really hurt?" hadn't been going through my mind. But no, I told myself, self control is the way forward. Instead lets focus on healthy, glossy hair. So the "Reincarnation Mask" and "Split Fix" serum were purchased, and here's what followed...




So let's start with the "Reincarnation Mask". Usually, all of these "deep conditioning treatment" type of product all promise the world, but do little more than leave your hair feeling a little bit shinier until the next time you wash it. Not sure how much the BLEACH version will fare, but so far, so good. Hair definitely feels healthier, and dead ends? What dead ends. Well, they're still there, but when you've not had a good trim for the last 5 months that can happen.

The reincarnation mask definitely leaves your hair feeling a whole lot healthier. The instructions recommend wrapping your hair in a hot towel while the treatment is in, but really, who has time to heat up a towel? In fact, how would you even go about heating up a towel?

Next up, the "Split Fix" serum. Okay, so on first pump you realize this isn't like any other serum. Your boy is used to Moroccan Oil, and this is definitely a lot runnier in texture. So runny, in fact, that most of the first pump slid off on the journey from hand to hair. Once applied successfully, however, you can definitely see a difference. These products are definitely ones that will be getting purchased again.

Now, maybe a dip dye isn't such a bad idea after all...
