Summertime Highlights!!

Summer timeeeee is almost here.

Thank God for chilled Rosé, huge brimmed hats ( straw, specifically ), & SPF 5000.

…And highlights!

What’s a girl to do that’s been out of the sun for the past six months with dark roots?

Add a couple highlights, of course.

Firstly, I’m all about the baby blonde for summer.

Think: four year old Swedish child blonde.

You know, like it’s not really a honey blonde or golden blonde, but more of like a Tiger Wood’s ex blonde. Cooler tones for summer.

Anyway when Marie Claire recently introduced me to L’Oreal Glam Lights, I ran/ran/ran to my stylist to test it out.

Glam Lights are known to illuminate the hair as opposed to dull/dry it out. Plus it colors hair in two steps. Quick, painless, & very, very easy to apply!

I use a TON of conditioner afterwards AND ONLY wash my hair once a week to maintain the natural oils in my hair. Let’s be real though: sometimes I go a week & half.

Also, to preserve my highlights: I use purple shampoo ( << post to come ), a coconut oil mask once a month ( literally I just rub coconut hair all over my hair & let it set for hours ), & wear a hat ( the sun fries the crap out of highlights ).

So!! I’m happy with how these baby blonde highlights turned out! Thoughts?

What are you hair dye/highlight tips?

Happy ( almost!! ) summer!
