00:00Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02You guys know that I dyed my hair blue in October,
00:06which means that I have had blue hair for a little over five months now.
00:11And I've got to say, I think it's my favorite color.
00:15I have had my hair color treated now for over a year.
00:19I don't recognize myself without it.
00:21And I thought that it was about time for me to give you an update
00:26on what I'm using, what I'm loving, and how I'm maintaining my hair.
00:30So this is it. This is my blue hair update.
00:31But before we get started, please make sure you are subscribed down below.
00:35Little red button.
00:36And while you're at it, please follow me on Instagram at miyann.chant.
00:39I love how easy it is to maintain the blue.
00:43I love the way it looks when it comes out of the salon.
00:45And I like the way that it fades, actually.
00:48But I'm actually really curious to hear what your favorite color of my hair has been
00:51between the pink, the purple, and the blue.
00:53And what color do you think I should do next?
00:55Let me know in the comments.
00:56So let's get started with the routine.
00:58So my hair care routine has never been so intense.
01:02Before I dyed my hair, I was washing it pretty much every day.
01:05And now I wash it once a week.
01:06So first thing is shampoo.
01:08So I have this unwrapped shampoo bar.
01:10If you guys watched my Zero Waste video, which if you haven't, please watch it.
01:15We'll leave it in the description.
01:16This is the shampoo that I used during that challenge.
01:19It's completely naked.
01:20It comes in paper packaging, which is recyclable or compostable.
01:23I have the hydrator version.
01:24I wet it in the shower.
01:25Instead of lathering it with my hands and then applying, I just go straight in with it.
01:30It lathers really nicely.
01:31It makes my hair feel super clean.
01:33It doesn't strip my hair.
01:35And it's super good for travel.
01:37I really like it.
01:38For conditioner, I have been kind of switching around with conditioners.
01:41But this is one that I really like.
01:42This is the Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner, which actually was recommended to me by my colorist, Madison.
01:48She loves this line.
01:49It's really great.
01:49It makes my hair feel super, super smooth.
01:52It does a good job of a controlling frizz, which is what I like.
01:55All right.
01:55So next up is hair masks.
01:56So I use a couple of different hair masks, rotate them out.
01:58But one that I consistently use is this one.
02:01It's Olaplex, the number three hair perfecter treatment thing.
02:05It's really good.
02:06Everyone and their mother talks about Olaplex.
02:08It is beloved by many, many, many people with fried, fried hair because it really strengthens your hair.
02:15I highly recommend it if you guys have color-treated, damaged, bleached hair.
02:21So the next product is actually a two-in-one sort of deal.
02:24It is a hydrating mask, but it also puts color back into my hair.
02:28So this is the Overtone Deep Treatment.
02:29I have the shades Pastel Blue and Pastel Silver.
02:33And I mix these to create this, like, very cool blue shade in my hair.
02:39This mask has a ton of hydrating ingredients in it.
02:42It has shea butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, primrose oil, jojoba seed oil.
02:47So it does really hydrate your hair.
02:49It just gives you that little judging that your hair needs, like, right before you're going to go to the
02:53salon and get your hair, like, redone.
02:54You are technically supposed to put it on with gloves.
02:58I don't do that because I'm lazy.
03:00I just put it on with my hand.
03:01It does stain your hands, but you wash your hands a few times that it goes away.
03:04So I would highly recommend it for anyone who has, like, color-treated hair.
03:07They have a bunch of different colors.
03:09Like, I used to use their pink conditioner too, so it's a goodie.
03:12I haven't put heat on my hair, like, blow-dryer or straightener or anything like that in months
03:18because I am doing everything I can to keep my hair super-duper healthy.
03:22So, I always air dry, and when I air dry, I like to put a couple products in just to
03:28hydrate it
03:28and also just so that it air dries better.
03:31This is the Verve Sea Texture Cream, which I've been using forever.
03:35I'm starting to come to the end of it.
03:37I use, like, only, like, a little pea-sized amount, and obviously I don't wash my hair very often,
03:40so I really only use it, like, once a week.
03:42And then I mix it with this Jisoo Honey Infused Hair Oil, which is a lovely oil.
03:48It smells really good.
03:49It makes your hair feel nice and nourished.
03:51It helps tame frizz and put it through my mid-lengths and ends, scrunch, scrunch, scrunch all around,
03:56and then let my hair air dry, and this is the result.
03:59All right, so let's talk about all the days that I'm not washing my hair
04:03and in need of a little sprucing up because it's oily and greasy and gross.
04:10Actually, funny story, I was at my desk, and I was like, do you smell that?
04:13My friend Michelle, she also doesn't wash her hair very often.
04:16She's like, it's probably you.
04:18It's your hair.
04:19And then she smelled my hair, and she was like, it's your hair.
04:22She described it as scalp-y.
04:24Y'all know what that smells like.
04:25You know what I'm saying?
04:26Anyway, when my hair starts to get a little scalp-y, I use this.
04:30This is the Arnco Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist.
04:34Here's how I feel about dry shampoo.
04:35I don't like dry shampoo.
04:36I don't like powder dry shampoo.
04:37I try not to use aerosol.
04:39I just don't like the way that dry shampoo makes my hair feel.
04:41I feel like it makes it feel very dry.
04:43It's like powdery.
04:44I don't like it.
04:45So when Arnco came out with this, which is a micellar dry shampoo,
04:50similar to like micellar water, I was like,
04:52I think this is a dry shampoo that I'll actually like.
04:55And I was right.
04:56Because it's wet, it actually kind of makes you feel like you did wash your hair.
05:00And I think that that's what I love about it.
05:02Spray it throughout your hair, and then I just usually brush it through.
05:04It dries, and your hair looks obviously not exactly the same as when you washed it,
05:08but pretty dang similar.
05:10It does hide the scalpy smell.
05:13I like it because it makes you feel like you had a shower,
05:15and honestly, sometimes that's all you need on your scalp-iest days.
05:20This is the wet brush.
05:21You know, like some brushes, you just like, you brush your hair with it,
05:23and you're like, wow, I like the way that feels on my scalp.
05:26These brushes feel good on your scalp.
05:28It's very gentle on the hair.
05:30It's actually designed for you to use on wet hair.
05:32The wetness makes the hair very elastic, so this is very gentle on the hair.
05:36I use it on dry or wet hair.
05:37It's just a great brush.
05:39Next up is my pillowcase.
05:43This is a silk pillowcase.
05:46In theory, it's supposed to keep your hair looking smoother, less breakage.
05:50I was a little bit like, mmm, does that really work?
05:53It does.
05:54My color has actually suggested that I use it.
05:56I don't think that the slip pillowcase is like the only reason my hair is healthier now,
06:01but I think it certainly helps.
06:02When I was using just regular pillowcases,
06:04I would wake up, and like my hair would just be like,
06:07all over the place.
06:08I sleep on this, and my hair doesn't do that anymore.
06:11My hair definitely looks better,
06:12especially when I wake up since I've been using the pillowcase.
06:15So I swear by all of these products, they're really great.
06:19If there's anything that you guys love for your hair,
06:22please let me know in the comments.
06:23I'm always trying new things.
06:25And that's it.
06:25Thanks so much for watching, guys, and I'll see you guys next week.
06:27Bye.
