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.
00:38So let's get started with the routine.
00:40So my hair care routine has never been so intense.
00:43Before I dyed my hair, I was washing it pretty much every day
00:46and now I wash it once a week.
00:48So first thing is shampoo.
00:49So I have this unwrapped shampoo bar.
00:52If you guys watched my Zero Waste video,
00:54which if you haven't, please watch it.
00:56We'll leave it in the description.
00:58This is the shampoo that I used during that challenge.
01:00It's completely naked.
01:01It comes in paper packaging, which is recyclable or compostable.
01:04I have the hydrator version.
01:06I wet it in the shower.
01:07Instead of lathering it with my hands and then applying,
01:09I just go straight in with it.
01:11It lathers really nicely.
01:12It makes my hair feel super clean.
01:15It doesn't strip my hair.
01:16And it's super good for travel.
01:18I really like it.
01:20For conditioner, I have been kind of switching around with conditioners,
01:23but this is one that I really like.
01:24This is the Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner,
01:26which actually was recommended to me by my colorist, Madison.
01:29She loves this line.
01:30It's really great.
01:31It makes my hair feel super, super smooth.
01:34It does a good job of a controlling frizz, which is what I like.
01:36All right.
01:36So next up is hair masks.
01:37So I use a couple of different hair masks, rotate them out,
01:40but one that I consistently use is this one.
01:42It's Olaplex, the number three hair perfecter treatment thing.
01:46It's really good.
01:47Everyone and their mother talks about Olaplex.
01:49It is beloved by many, many, many people with fried, fried hair
01:54because it really strengthens your hair.
01:57I highly recommend it if you guys have color treated, damaged, bleached hair.
02:02So the next product is actually a two-in-one sort of deal.
02:05It is a hydrating mask, but it also puts color back into my hair.
02:09So this is the overtone deep treatment.
02:11I have the shades pastel blue and pastel silver,
02:15and I mix these to create this like very cool blue shade in my hair.
02:20This mask has a ton of hydrating ingredients in it.
02:24It has shea butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, primrose oil, jojoba seed oil.
02:29So it does really hydrate your hair.
02:31It just gives you that little judging that your hair needs
02:33like right before you're going to go to the salon and get your hair like redone.
02:36You are technically supposed to put it on with gloves.
02:40I don't do that because I'm lazy.
02:41I just put it on with my hand.
02:42It does stain your hands, but you wash your hands a few times that it goes away.
02:46So I would highly recommend it for anyone who has like color treated hair.
02:49They have a bunch of different colors.
02:50Like I used to use their pink conditioner too, so it's a goodie.
02:53I haven't put heat on my hair like blow dryer or straightener or anything like that in months
02:59because I am doing everything I can to keep my hair super duper healthy.
03:04So I always air dry.
03:06And when I air dry, I like to put a couple products in just to hydrate it
03:10and also just so that it air dries better.
03:12This is the Vrb Sea Texture Cream, which I've been using forever.
03:17I'm starting to come to the end of it.
03:18I use like only like a little pea-sized amount
03:20and obviously I don't wash my hair very often,
03:22so I really only use it like once a week.
03:24And then I mix it with this Jisoo Honey Infused Hair Oil,
03:27which is a lovely oil.
03:30It smells really good.
03:31It makes your hair feel nice and nourished.
03:33It helps tame frizz and put it through my mid-lengths and ends.
03:36Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch all around and then let my hair air dry.
03:39And this is the result.
03:40All right, so let's talk about all the days that I'm not washing my hair
03:45and in need of a little sprucing up because soily and greasy and gross.
03:51Actually, funny story.
03:53I was at my desk and I was like, do you smell that?
03:55My friend Michelle, she also doesn't wash her hair very often.
03:58She's like, it's probably you.
03:59It's your hair.
04:00And then she smelled my hair and she was like, it's your hair.
04:03She described it as scalpy.
04:05Y'all know what that smells like.
04:06You know what I'm saying?
04:07Anyway, when my hair starts to get a little scalpy, I use this.
04:11This is the ArnCo Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist.
04:15Here's how I feel about dry shampoo.
04:17I don't really like dry shampoo.
04:18I don't like powder dry shampoo.
04:19I try not to use aerosol.
04:20I just don't like the way that dry shampoo makes my hair feel.
04:22I feel like it makes it feel very dry.
04:24It's like powdery.
04:25I don't like it.
04:26So when ArnCo came out with this, which is a micellar dry shampoo,
04:31similar to like micellar water, I was like,
04:33I think this is a dry shampoo that I'll actually like.
04:36And I was right.
04:37Because it's wet, it actually kind of makes you feel like you did wash your hair.
04:41And I think that that's what I love about it.
04:43Spray it throughout your hair.
04:44And then I just usually brush it through.
04:46It dries and your hair looks obviously not exactly the same as when you washed it.
04:50But pretty dang similar.
04:51It does hide the scalpy smell.
04:54I like it because it makes you feel like you had a shower.
04:57And honestly, sometimes that's all you need on your scalpiest days.
05:01This is the wet brush.
05:03You know like some brushes, you just like, you brush your hair with it.
05:05And you're like, wow, I like the way that feels on my scalp.
05:08These brushes feel good on your scalp.
05:10It's very gentle on the hair.
05:11It's actually designed for you to use on wet hair.
05:14The wetness makes the hair very elastic.
05:16So this is very gentle on the hair.
05:17I use it on dry or wet hair.
05:19It's just a great brush.
05:20Next up is my pillow.
05:24Pillowcase.
05:25This is a silk pillowcase.
05:28In theory, it's supposed to keep your hair looking smoother, less breakage.
05:32I was a little bit like, hmm, does that really work?
05:35It does.
05:36My color has actually suggested that I use it.
05:38I don't think that the slip pillowcase is like the only reason my hair is healthier now.
05:42But I think it certainly helps.
05:44When I was using just regular pillowcases, I would wake up and like my hair would just be like,
05:48all over the place.
05:50I sleep on this and my hair doesn't do that anymore.
05:52My hair definitely looks better, especially when I wake up since I've been using the pillowcase.
05:57So I swear by all of these products.
05:59They're really great.
06:00And that's it.
06:01Thanks so much for watching, guys.
06:02And I'll see you guys next week.
06:03Bye.
