It's not easy having great hair, especially if it's long. I'm the type of person that spontaneously dyes their hair. I usually don't overdue it and I always end up going back to my natural color, so it's like once a year. Other than some split ends my only worry was putting some volume into my hair, because I have pin straight hair. Ever since I moved to Istanbul my hair has been at it's absolute worse. The water here is very hard and extremely chlorinated, you can smell the chlorine. I am putting filters on all of the faucets and most importantly I bought a good shower head filter. The water is soo bad that it stings my eyes and the skin of my fingers keep peeling, no matter how much I moisturize. The showerhead reduces 99% of chlorine reducing sulfur odors and scale, as well as the impurities within water that can damage hair follicles and result in dry, itchy scalp. Additionally, by reducing the amount of scale (a hard, filmy residue created by minerals in water), the shower head is able to give you more of the hydrating nourishment your skin, scalp and hair need. The shower head will help prevent future damage to my hair, but what's done is done and I found great products to help restore my dry, damaged hair into healthy hair.

To make matters worse I decided to lighten my hair in the summer, the hairstylist turned me blonde and of course that killed my hair. Although I didn't look bad blonde because I have fair skin, I couldn't get use to myself so I went back to my natural color in just 2 months. I wasn't out in the sun a lot this summer so thank GOD my hair doesn't have sun damage, if I had sun damage too I would've probably had to chop all my hair off. I was having trouble untangling my hair, no matter how much conditioner I was using. So with the help of the Phytojoba hydrating mask which I do once a week, twice sometimes and the Oscar Blandi Oil Serum my hair is going back to normal. The Tangle Teezer is a life saver, before I was using it I was ripping chunks of hair off trying to comb through the tangles caused by the nasty water. The Drybar 100 Proof Treatment Oil is gives your hair a great shine and an overall beautiful end result, your hair actually looks and feels healthy, even if it really isn't! The T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i was something I invested in 2 years ago, and till this day I still love it. I wish it would dry my hair in less than a minute, but obviously that's not possible. It dries my hair faster than any other blowdryer I was using, and it uses Tourmaline and advanced SoftAire technologies to reduce frizz while boosting your hair’s health, body, and shine. Blowdryers really damage your hair, so I think it's very important to have a good one. So with the help of these products my hair is normal and feels healthy again and I'm not going to go bald from ripping out all my hair trying to detangle it.
