Yes yes! I heard about Olaplex doing good on protection but haven't tried and unfortunately I forgot to ask them if they have it lol. It's a sacrifice we are willing to make for those lovely color 😠It will grow anyway haha so I'm fine with it. I can't reverse the damage but I can only help it become manageable again.
Also I forgot that you're a hairstylist!! Though I never forgotten about you having curly hair and I wonder do you do the Curly Girl Method or just your own thing? I recently came across that hair routine for curlies and want to give it a try.
