I used to color my hair every couple of months when I was younger. In the span of two years, I went from bleach blonde to black, trying out copper, bright red, light brown and many more along the way. Quick advice: don’t do that.
I have since then managed to get back to my natural medium brown, and liked it for the last three years or so. I am, however, growing quite tired of it.I’ve wanted to add either highlight or an ombre effect to my hair for the longest of times, but my debacles with bleaching and dyeing have pretty much scarred me, and my hair, for life. I have then decided to try out a gradual effect lightening product. How lucky am I that L’Oréal recently came out with a new product that does just that? (rhetorical question)
After four weeks, and about six applications of the Casting sun kiss Jelly, I can honestly say that this thing works pretty damn well, especially since my hair was not close to blonde to start with. I applied the jelly to wet hair, focusing on the lengths of my hair, and used a hair dryer to activate the product. And since you can use the product on either wet or dry hair, I proceeded to create highlight by applying it on specific strands or hair, namely the strands framing my face. Personally, I would not recommend applying it on dry hair all over, since the product can be quite drying. I’ve been doing overnight coconut oil masks to retain some moisture and shine, and it’s been doing the trick.
The sun-kissed effect is even more apparent when my hair is exposed to the light, which, in my opinion, keeps things interesting from day to night.I am going to continue applying the product once a week until some of the strands I’ve been working on lighten to a true blonde. If that’s even possible. I’ll keep you guys posted. Have you tried the L’Oréal Casting Sunkiss Jelly? Let me know what you think about it in the comments bellow.
