Paul Mitchell Platinum Blonde & New Organix Macadamia Oil Shampoo/Conditioner

Good morning, everyone! Let's have a little chat about hair. I put my hair through torture with all of the bleaching that is done in order to get that perfect platinum bombshell shade. I know, I should be more kind, but there's just something about beautiful bright blonde hair that makes me feel amazing! So since my hair is extremely dry and often turning brassy, I desperately needed a new hair care routine. I did my research and found these life savers in a bottle. I've been using them for a few weeks now and here is what I found:

Paul Mitchell Platinum Blonde Shampoo: This is my absolute favorite hair care product that I have ever owned, hands down. It's like heaven in a bottle for all of you blondies out there. It's a little pricey ($12.95), but I promise you that it is so worth every penny! This is a purple/violet shampoo that is made specifically for platinum and silver shades. In one use, it toned down my brassiness almost completely and left my hair shiny and smooth. I lathered up the shampoo and left it on in the shower for around 4-5 minutes (the bottle says anywhere from 1-5). The one thing I do recommend is to only use it once or twice a week to revive your color. If you use it more than that or use it longer than the time suggested, you risk getting a purplish blue tint in your hair. Not cute. Other than that, this stuff is AMAZING!!!

NEW Organix Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner: I needed a great hydrating conditioner to use with my purple shampoo and another shampoo to use when I'm not toning my hair. I have a large amount of hair, but the actual strands are very fine, so my hair gets weighed down VERY easily. That's why I usually stay away from products that say "hydrating". The Organix line is completely different. Both the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so silky and smooth. Oh, and don't forget the shine! I've never had a conditioner give me such amazing results! My hair wasn't weighed down or greasy one bit. It was soft, light, and stayed frizz free all day long. The delicious smell is yet another added bonus. Warm, sweet and nutty. It reminds me of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. YUM!!! Plus I get tons of compliments from my husband on how great my hair smells! Now the greatest part of all is the price. I bought both at Walmart for almost $6.00 each! In my mind, that is definitely a steal for salon quality hair products. I think it is very easy to say that I'm in love!
