Makeup is my Boyfriend

Let me explain the history of my hair to ya'll.

When I was in 8'th grade, my mom let me dye my hair black. it was black for a couple years before I started bleaching various strands and dyeing them other colors. 

So after that phase was over it was sometime in 2008, my hair faded to brown, I grew it out, and bleached out some peek-a-boo highlights.

2009 came around. I dyed my hair brown. 

Then one day, I decided I wanted to have platinum blonde hair.

It started out like this.....

Eventually it let to this...

(cell phone picture, please excuse)

I'm not really sure how to properly describe how ..... TERRIBLE ..... this idea was.

I didn't know it was possible for hair to feel like rubber when it got wet. 

It's possible, and mine totally did.

I was scared to blow it dry and straighten it. The amount of hair that was burned off my head was scary. I'm glad I have thick hair.

So now let's get to the good part: The products that saved me!

I have 2 products that I use daily: Paul Mitchell Super Skinny and Paul Mitchell Thicken Up.

After the Blond Fiasco I nixed the thicken up and went straight for the super skinny. 

If you've never tried Super Skinny, I highly recommend it. One bottle lasts me almost a year. One pump is really all you need for the ends of your hair. It cuts down blow drying time, its conditions and protects against heat! I also use it when I'm having issues with static electricity. 

Then we got a new product line at work called It's a 10. It had just become available to us and after I tried it, there was no going back.

This stuff SAVED my hair. 

My hair felt 80% better after the first try.
I also used the first shampoo and conditioner they put out, but I wasn't impressed so I couldn't tell you what they're called.
Anyway, this spray will do 10 things for you (get it...like their name...)

1. Repairs dry, damaged hair. (true)
2. Adds shine (mmm...a little true, Super Skinny adds more)
3. Detangles (VERY true)
4. Controls frizz (true)
5. Seals and protects hair color (I haven't noticed much of this)
6. Prevents split ends (true, a bit)
7. Stops hair breakage (true)
8. Creates siliness (SO true, ahhh)
9. Enhances natural body (my hair is heavy and has no body unless I tease the crap out of it, but maybe this is true for other people)
10. Flat iron spray & thermal protector (true)

This lovely bottle of happiness though, is WELL worth your $16.95.

I still use it now, even though my hair is pretty much back to normal, but usually only when I don't feel like conditioning it in the shower.

If I had a hundred thumbs, they would all be up right now.
