00:00Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02You guys know that I dyed my hair blue in October,
00:06which means that I have had blue hair for a little over five months now.
00:11And I've got to say, I think it's my favorite color.
00:15I have had my hair color treated now for over a year.
00:19I don't recognize myself without it.
00:21And I thought that it was about time for me to give you an update
00:26on what I'm using, what I'm loving, and how I'm maintaining my hair.
00:30I love how easy it is to maintain the blue.
00:34I love the way it looks when it comes out of the salon
00:36and I like the way that it fades actually.
00:38But I'm actually really curious to hear what your favorite color of my hair has been
00:41between the pink, the purple, and the blue.
00:43And what color do you think I should do next?
00:45Let me know in the comments.
00:46So let's get started with the routine.
00:49So my hair care routine has never been so intense.
00:51Before I dyed my hair, I was washing it pretty much every day
00:54and now I wash it once a week.
00:56So first thing is shampoo.
00:58So I have this unwrapped shampoo bar.
01:01If you guys watched my Zero Waste video, which if you haven't, please watch it.
01:05We'll leave it in the description.
01:07This is the shampoo that I used during that challenge.
01:09It's completely naked.
01:10It comes in paper packaging, which is recyclable or compostable.
01:13I have the hydrator version.
01:14I wet it in the shower instead of lathering it with my hands and then applying.
01:18I just go straight in with it.
01:20It lathers really nicely.
01:21It makes my hair feel super clean.
01:23It doesn't strip my hair.
01:25And it's super good for travel.
01:27I really like it.
01:28For conditioner, I have been kind of switching around with conditioners.
01:31But this is one that I really like.
01:32This is the Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner,
01:35which actually was recommended to me by my colorist, Madison.
01:38And she loves this line.
01:39It's really great.
01:40It makes my hair feel super, super smooth.
01:42It does a good job of controlling frizz, which is what I like.
01:45All right.
01:45So next up is hair masks.
01:46So I use a couple of different hair masks, rotate them out.
01:49But one that I consistently use is this one.
01:51It's Olaplex, the number three hair perfecter treatment thing.
01:55It's really good.
01:56Everyone and their mother talks about Olaplex.
01:58It is beloved by many, many, many people with fried, fried hair
02:03because it really strengthens your hair.
02:05I highly recommend it if you guys have color-treated, damaged, bleached hair.
02:11So the next product is actually a two-in-one sort of deal.
02:14It is a hydrating mask, but it also puts color back into my hair.
02:18So this is the Overtone Deep Treatment.
02:20I have the shades Pastel Blue and Pastel Silver.
02:23And I mix these to create this very cool blue shade in my hair.
02:29This mask has a ton of hydrating ingredients in it.
02:32It has shea butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, primrose oil, jojoba seed oil.
02:37So it does really hydrate your hair.
02:40It just gives you that little judging that your hair needs
02:42like right before you're going to go to the salon and get your hair like redone.
02:45You are technically supposed to put it on with gloves.
02:48I don't do that because I'm lazy.
02:50I just put it on with my hand.
02:51It does stain your hands, but you wash your hands a few times that it goes away.
02:54So I would highly recommend it for anyone who has like color-treated hair.
02:57They have a bunch of different colors.
02:59Like I used to use their pink conditioner too, so it's a goodie.
03:02I haven't put heat on my hair like blow dryer or straightener or anything like that in months
03:08because I am doing everything I can to keep my hair super duper healthy.
03:13So I always air dry.
03:15And when I air dry, I like to put a couple products in just to hydrate it
03:19and also just so that it air dries better.
03:21This is the Vrb Sea Texture Cream, which I've been using forever.
03:25I'm starting to come to the end of it.
03:27I use like only like a little pea-sized amount.
03:29And obviously I don't wash my hair very often, so I really only use it like once a week.
03:32And then I mix it with this Jisoo Honey Infused Hair Oil, which is a lovely oil.
03:38It smells really good.
03:39It makes your hair feel nice and nourished.
03:41It helps tame frizz and put it through my mid-lengths and ends, scrunch, scrunch, scrunch all around
03:46and then let my hair air dry.
03:47And this is the result.
03:49All right.
03:50So let's talk about all the days that I'm not washing my hair and in need of a little
03:56sprucing up because it's oily and greasy and gross.
04:00Actually, funny story.
04:01I was at my desk and I was like, do you smell that?
04:04My friend Michelle, she also doesn't wash her hair very often.
04:07She's like, it's probably you.
04:08It's your hair.
04:08And then she smelled my hair and she was like, it's your hair.
04:12She described it as scalpy.
04:14Y'all know what that smells like.
04:15You know what I'm saying?
04:16Anyway, when my hair starts to get a little scalpy, I use this.
04:20This is the ArnCo Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist.
04:24Here's how I feel about dry shampoo.
04:25I don't really like dry shampoo.
04:26I don't like powder dry shampoo.
04:28I try not to use aerosol.
04:29I just don't like the way that dry shampoo makes my hair feel.
04:31I feel like it makes it feel very dry.
04:33It's like powdery.
04:34I don't like it.
04:35So when ArnCo came out with this, which is a micellar dry shampoo, similar to like micellar
04:41water, I was like, I think this is a dry shampoo that I'll actually like.
04:45And I was right.
04:46Because it's wet, it actually kind of makes you feel like you did wash your hair.
04:50And I think that that's what I love about it.
04:52Spray it throughout your hair and then I would just usually brush it through.
04:55It dries and your hair looks obviously not exactly the same as when you washed it, but
04:58pretty dang similar.
05:00It does hide the scalpy smell.
05:03I like it because it makes you feel like you had a shower.
05:06And honestly, sometimes that's all you need on your scalpiest days.
05:10This is the wet brush.
05:11You know like some brushes, you just like, you brush your hair with it and you're like,
05:14wow, I like the way that feels on my scalp.
05:17These brushes feel good on your scalp.
05:18It's very gentle on the hair.
05:20It's actually designed for you to use on wet hair.
05:22The wetness makes the hair very elastic.
05:24So this is very gentle on the hair.
05:26I use it on dry or wet hair.
05:27It's just a great brush.
05:29Next up is my pillow.
05:32Pillowcase.
05:33This is a silk pillowcase.
05:37In theory, it's supposed to keep your hair looking smoother, less breakage.
05:40I was a little bit like, does it really work?
05:43It does.
05:44My color has actually suggested that I use it.
05:47I don't think that the slip pillowcase is like the only reason my hair is healthier now,
05:51but I think it certainly helps.
05:52When I was using just regular pillowcases, I would wake up and like my hair would just be
05:56like, all over the place.
05:58I sleep on this and my hair doesn't do that anymore.
06:01My hair definitely looks better, especially when I wake up since I've been using the pillowcase.
06:05So I swear by all of these products.
06:08They're really great.
06:09If there's anything that you guys love for your hair, please let me know in the comments.
06:13I'm always trying new things.
06:15And that's it.
06:15Thanks so much for watching, guys.
06:16And I'll see you guys next week.
06:18Bye.
