Tesco Value Conditioner - AMAZING?!

Deep Conditioning, I love it and need it.

 With all the bleach, dye and other damaging stuff I do to my hair and my hair extensions, they need a lot of care. So when I was browsing the hair aisle in Tesco for a new deep conditioner, I spotted the Tesco Smooth Conditioner in Coconut and thought 'why not? Its only 88p' and I'm so glad I did!

I love this conditioner as it really conditions my dry ends and makes my hair so silky, soft and manageable. I have also noticed a reduced amount of frizz, as sometimes if I leave my extensions to dry without a serum or hair oil, the ends can go frizzy. 

Like I said it was only 88p, so I had nothing to lose when I first picked it up. The bottle is massive so it has lasted me a very long time. The scent is a very mild coconut, not in your face or anything.

I always put the conditioner on my dry hair, as if I'm doing a deep treatment as I think it just works better. I focus the conditioner on on the very ends of my extensions as they are the driest part of my hair and then comb through my hair with a wide tooth comb, making sure there are no tangles. I put them in a plastic bag and leave it to do the job.

I leave the conditioner on for up to 24 hours, however most of the time I leave it on for 8/10 hours as I am very impatient and want to wear my extensions!

I put my hair dying towel behind it, in case I get stains on the radiator

I then wash it out with icy cold water, then leave it to dry on my radiator.

The next day my hair is left soft and shiny. Perfect for 88p! 

You should all try this, or at least give cheaper brands ago.

Part 1; How I Bleached My Extensions

Hey guys!

If your anything like me, then you are very impatient and very decisive! Last Tuesday I woke up and had the need to have ombre hair. So off I ran to boots to buy myself some bleach to bleach my extensions! 

The ombre I wanted, Ashlee Simpson is HOT

WARNING: Do not attempt to dye synthetic extensions.

Now I am going to show you how I did it, but bearing in mind I am not a professional or expert just a really impatient person, it wont be perfect! My extensions were bought blonde, I had dyed them about 6 times, and were completely black before I started - the bleach had a lot of work to do :P

You can read about my extensions here :)

Tools;

Bleaching Kit - Powder and Bleach

Hair - On your head or extensions

Brush - To mix the stuff up

Tinfoil 

Old Towel 

I used the Jerome Russell Bblonde for light to brown hair. In the pack you get 4 powder bleaches, but you have to buy the Cream Peroxide separately. The box cost like £3.50 and the developer was £1.50 ish. 

For my extensions I needed 2 sachets and 2 bottles.

You just mix them up and you are ready to go!

Then I put my extension in, made a mental note of how far I wanted the bleach up, took them out and put them on a sheet of tin foil to reduce the mess, then I slapped the bleach on!

 

 I left them for 30 mins, then ta-da! Gingery blonde hair :D

Now, my hair did look really frizzy so I left conditioner on over night and it seemed to help. But I did end up dying them a magenta purpley colour, which I think made them look a lot healthier and blend in more with my own hair. That will be in part 2 of my extension post :)
