GLOSS THAT BLONDE

BY LISA OPIE

I RECENTLY WENT BLONDE IN TWO DAYS AT STUDIO 50 SALON, MIAMI’S CELEBRITY HOT SPOT. GOING BLONDE CAN CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE TO YOUR HAIR, LEAVING IT DRY, BRITTLE, AND DISTRESSED. THANKFULLY BY STYLIST DEMIS IS THE EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO “BLONDING,” SO I CAME OUT WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE. THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME GOING BLONDE FROM BLACK AND THE EXPERIENCE WAS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. THANKS TO MODERN HAIR TECHNOLOGY, MY HAIR WAS SO MUCH LESS DAMAGED AND BRITTLE. JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE DAMAGE, HERE ARE SOME PRODUCTS TO HELP YOU SOFTEN AND HYDRATE THOSE LOCKS!
