Have you noticed that I’ve changed my hair color? This time last year, it was a very dark brown; click here to see. But now, I’m going shades lighter and opting for something more caramel.
Lightening my hair (and adding highlights) is an invite to split ends, especially as spring is here, which means I’ll be irresponsibly bathing in the sun soon. However, I’ve started using New York Streets Hair Repair to ward it off, and the product has been working great.
New York Streets Hair Repair is a leave-in conditioner that’s designed to strengthen your hair and protect it from damage. The product packaging says it’s especially good for fine, weak hair, but my hair is semi-thick. And I’m finding that I, too, can really benefit from this product, especially because I’m pretty rough on my hair.
Between living in a dry dessert, playing in the sun, using heated styling tools and tying my hair into a topknot at least once a week, I’m not as careful with my hair as I should be; and New York Streets Hair Repair is letting me get away with it. The formula is light and smells a little bit like berries. It doesn’t weigh my hair down one bit, nor leave any kind of residue. It is formulated with wheat and soy proteins, so it adds strength and elasticity to hair.
I apply New York Streets Hair Repair after washing my hair and while it’s still damp. I gently massage it directly onto the ends of my hair, not allover. Then I dry and style my mane as usual. As days go by (I only wash my hair twice a week), my ends continue to remain healthy, despite all the heat styling I do throughout the week and all the topknots I wear. And according to the brand, you can apply the product anytime to revitalize your locks. The petite package size makes it easy to carry in your handbag or leave at your office desk.
New York Streets Hair Repair is $21 and can be purchased at the brand’s website at www.newyork-streets.com. I also recommend trying New York Streets Shampoo and Conditioner. Both are Paraben-free and safe on color-treated hair.
Complimentary product received for review, but did not affect my opinions.
