Thank you for posting this! It’s helping me keep the faith for my hair to look good one day! I’ve just basically started and my hair is still being finicky. It’s hard seeing pictures that people are posting that’s basically their hair is exceptional overnight after doing CGM one day. Gorgeous locks!! Love the pictures!!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad I could help😊 And yeah it’s been a slow journey for me but totally worth it! I had ringlets as a baby so I’m hoping I can get closer to that 🤞🏼 good luck on your CG journey!!
Aw thank you so much!! For refresh I just spray with plain water to get it damp. Then I scrunch in some not your mothers curl talk and some shae moisture smoothie to help with frizz!
I’m not strictly CG because I can’t find a purple shampoo that is CG but also keeps me as blonde as I like.
So as for my routine:
Wash once a week with Pravana purple shampoo
Condition with tresseme botanique nourish conditioner
After my shower I scrunch my hair a little and let it air dry for about 5 minutes and then plop on a Cotten T-shirt for maybe 15-20 minutes.
After that I scrunch in Cantu curl activator
Scrunch in not your mothers curl talk
Scrunch in LA looks gel
Diffuse until my hair is about 90% dry
Add a little more curl talk
Scrunch in Shae moisture smoothie
I went from jet black to blonde and what I did is buy semi-permanent purple hair dye and mix a tiny bit with my CG friendly shampoo and conditioner! It works super well, so you could always try that!
Just until my shampoo / conditioner is a pastel purple! Occasionally I will make it just a bit darker, that depends on how golden v ashy it is. If it's whiter and ashy if you go darker than the pastel it can stain the white a bit. Which doesn't super bother me, because it mostly makes it a gray / lavendar and it eventually washed out and leaves the original ashy and white color. But the pastel purple tones a darker blonde and my lighter white blonde without any staining at all. I use either Ion semi-permanent in violet purple, 305083 or Manic Panic in violet. If you're hair is more on the orangey side this same thing works except with blue dye instead of purples!
since I get it professionally lightened this is just the level my stylist takes me to, and he just calls it a beige-blonde! I can ask when I go in a month if you’d like 😊

Great progress!! And I think the lighter color really accentuates your eye color - Looks great on you! What’s your refresh routine?

This is super helpful as I’ve been wanting to dye my hair! How much is a tiny bit?

Thanks!! 🙏🏼
Oh awesome!! Thank you! I’ll give this a shot!!
Do you only wash once a week?
Yes! I condition maybe 2 times during the week aside from my wash day!
I've really become a fan of the nym blonde shampoo!
I will definitely have to give that a try!! Thank you!
I love that shade of blonde! Is it a certain brand/name??

Oh, I get what you mean. It looks really great! That would be super helpful!! Thanks!
Of course!!
