My hair - my hair style, care and colour

Let's talk about my hair today :). It was requested, and I get questions about my hair colour and about my hair in general, so here I (hope) answer all your questions.

Firstly, let's talk about my hair in general.
I have quite thick hair, my natural colour is I would say medium brown (my undercut hair colour is my natural colour) and it gets lighter in summer time. They are quite straight, they just have this natural "wave" at the ends. They can get frizzy, grow pretty fast and scalp is kinda sensitive.

Now let's take a look of my haircut.
I actually shaved my right side last December, but I had much shorter haircut, I had pretty short hair all summer. My left side is quite long now, I actually want it even longer. I go for a trim every two months and I try to shave my undercut every two weeks, it's 9mm atm (well, it has grown from last week's haircut). I shave it myself or I go to my hair stylist. I've been going to the same hair stylist for 7 years now, it's the only person I trust when it comes to hair cutting.



This is how my hair looks from the back.

And left side is kinda bob-ish.

My current hair colour is blond, I was actually pretty scared before dying it, I haven't been blonde for 8 years. I used Smart Beauty Smart Blonde permanent toners in Beach Blonde (bought it here). I left it in my hair for 30 minutes (it says you leave it for 30 - 60 minutes) and it came out more yellowish then I expected, but it was wearable, so I left it that way. I coloured my hair again before surgery, but this time I used Revlon hair colour (I can't remember which shade, sorry), it was too late to order Smart Beauty one online. I don't recommend Revlon, it's washing out like crazy and it didn't cover my roots. Smart Beauty stayed the same shade for whole month, so I recommend their colours. I'll write a review when I colour my hair again.


Lastly, my hair care is pretty simple. I don't like putting a lot of hair products in my hair, like I said I have sensitive scalp and I don't like the feeling of having a lot of products in my hair. Currently I'm using and loving Lavera shampoo Milde pflege, it's calms down any itchiness I might have on my scalp and it cleans my hair nicely. My hair conditioner is also from Lavera Glanz & Volumen Haarspülung. It leaves my hair super soft and shiny. This is my basic hair routine. I wash my hair every two days or three, I exercise on regular basis, so my hair gets dirty pretty quick.


I'm also testing out Lee Stafford hair growth treatment, can't tell you much about it, but it makes my hair super soft. My favourite "hair mask" has to be regular extra virgin olive oil, I massage it in my hair and leave it for an hour or two or over night. I also love virgin coconut oil for my hair. The best way is that you warm up the oil (not too much, you don't want to burn yourself) and then massage it for at least 5 minutes (the more the better, massaging your scalp stimulates growth) and put a cap or plastic bag over your head, then wash your hair as you normally would.



Another product I'm testing right now is Keune care line Leave-in hair repair, I think it works well with my frizzy hair. The smell is also nice. And yet another product I'm testing out is Lee Stafford Dry shampoo for days I don't wash my hair. I don't really have oily roots, but it gives me nice volume, smells nice and it freshens my hair.


I always blow dry my hair when I wash it, otherwise they are all over the place and I can't really do anything with them. I use round brush when I blow dry it and for everyday use, I use another round brush with rougher bristles for teasing, if I need any volume and regular comb for everyday use.


Hope this helps to some of you :)

  1. Super post :) Jaz sem 5 let bila blondinka, potem pa je bilo že na 5km vidno, da se mi lasje noro uničujejo (jaz sem pa hotela dolge) in zato sem se lani septembra pobarvala na rjavo in od takrat se ne barvam več :) *proud*
    Sem pa od takrat tudi na intenzivni misliji "mermaid hair" - vse za dolge lase. V tem dobrem letu sem našla kar nekaj dobrih izdelkov (tudi kar nekaj slabih), ampak na splošno se mi zdi da sem na dobri poti k dolgim, zravim lasem :) Hm, mogoče bi pa tudi jaz napisala post...

  7. Očitno imava s Sandro podobno situacijo. Samo jaz sem se najprej naročila in potem videla Dejin post. :D
    Komaj čakam jutri, da se znebim te grive (reče kratkolaska, ki ji gromozanski problem predstavlja nekaj preraslih cm las, hehe).

    Odlično frizuro imaš. Posebej všeč mi je, kako dobro je zadaj speljano. Očitno imaš res dobro frizerko/frizerja. :)

      Hvala. Frizerka je pa res najboljša :)

    Frizerke pa tudi jaz ne menjam, enkrat sem šla k drugi, ker je bla moja na porodniški - obup! :D

  9. Great post! I love your hair cut, it's so badass :D For the past 3 months I'm constantly thinking about cutting my hair in a similar cut, but I know I'd miss my long hair, since I never had it that long (because I always cut it short when I'm bored :D)
