eSalon First Impression

Hair is the best accessory. In my opinion your look isn't complete without your hair done. You can have the cutest outfit on, but if your hair isn't done the look won't flow together.

I am constantly changing my hair. Whether I'm styling, coloring, or cutting I always get bored with my hair. I am always researching and testing out new products and techniques. I first heard of eSalon from Silvia Reis, one of my favorite YouTubers.. I love getting inspiration and learning new techniques from her hair videos. eSalon is an online salon for us at-homers! They sell salon quality products at an amazing price. I got hair dye, shampoo & conditioner, and a hair mask for only $25!! That is insane for hair products and hair color these days. Unless you go to the drugstore and use box dye which we all know can be very damaging for our hair. But trust me I have been in a pinch before where drugstore was as good as it was going to get.

So far I have tested out the hair color, and conditioner. First off the smell of these products is to die for!!!! I don't know about you but I am a sucker for good smelling products. I have very dry, over processed hair so when I buy conditioners I look for repairing, hydrating, and color safe products. The At Full Strength Conditioner is exactly what my hair needs in a conditioner. I like to massage the product throughout my hair, but focusing on the ends. That's where the most damage is. I leave my conditioner in for 3-5 minutes and usually take that time to shave and exfoliate. This conditioner really hydrated my hair. I only used it once so far so I don't have too much of a review on it right now but in the next few weeks I will continue to test it out and then, I'll give you guys a full review.

The custom colored hair dye was what really drew me in to eSalon. My hair is over processed and dry so it can be resistant to color. I am currently obsessed with Blue Black so that has been my end goal when coloring my hair. The color I was using before faded extremely fast.. eSalon has you fill out a survey about your hair and then I uploaded a picture of my current hairdo lor to get the best result. I then chose Soft Blue Black. My hair took really well to the color, it is very deep black with a tinge of blue. I let my hair dry overnight to really be able to see the color. Overall I like the color, it is definitely blue black! I think with a few more dyes I will achieve the color I really want. The color was very easy to blend throughout my hair when applying. It was also really cool how all I had to do was put the two bottles into my bowl and mix.

Once I style my hair I will post an updated hair picture for you all to see the color! Typically after coloring my hair, I try not to use heat for a few days... but I'm pretty excited about this color so I may just have to break my rule. 😘
