Hair Makeover and Review BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour

Hi everyone, how have you been? I have been missing for a while from blogsville and the online world in general. Well, life threw a couple of lemons at me and am glad I had people around to help me turn it into lemonade 🙂 So, back in July I had the opportunity to get a hair makeover courtesy JAMMs and BBlunt. It was quite an experience, a two day affair where I got my hair coloured on Day 1 and had a wonderful interaction with Adhuna Bhabani and mommies from around the city. My hair makeover was done using BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour which is a DIY home colour kit. Before I get into the review, watch a few snippets from the event.

Now, doesn’t that look like a fun event? For years, my hair has been coloured Burgundy or Black with Red tones. With my natural dark brown, the effect has been kind of copper, especially when light hits it. When the BBlunt team recommended going Blue-Black I had concerns about the Blue! But they were very reassuring that the blue is just a hint of blue shimmer visible only when the hair catches natural light. That, is how I ended up with a totally different hair look. You can see in the slightest shimmer where the light hits. It is extremely subtle and I was told will be more prominent with subsequent colouring.

Review of BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour

BBlunt has developed the hair colour in collaboration with Godrej. The BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour is available in 7 shades covering Black, Brown and Red tones. It is available in two packaging sizes, one for global colour and a smaller one for touchups. The differentiating feature in the BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour is the Shine Tonic though. You can see Paloumi add it to the mix when she is prepping for the colour.

What I Liked about BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour

1. The Shine is absolutely incredible. For the first two weeks or so my hair looked straight out of a shampoo commercial. The potion totally works!
2. BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour is extremely affordable. This comes at a fraction of the cost compared to similar products from a competing brand. Now that I have used both, I can not figure out a difference in quality or the product, the experience or the results
3. It comes in a smaller packaging for root touch-ups. This is a big plus. Off late, my roots have started showing pretty quickly. I don’t want to do a global job sooner than once in three months (I am quite lazy like that) and end up with lots of white hair at the crown by the time the last month rolls around. It seems wasteful and expensive to use a whole kit for the roots. But with smaller touch-up packages, I can do a quick job at covering them.

What I did not like about BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour

1. The colour is supposed to last upto 8 weeks only. This fact is mentioned on the brochure and the brand is not giving a false claim but this bums me out because it does not fit in my three month colour plan.
2. I experienced itching on the scalp for the first week. Now this could be totally unrelated to the product and be dependent on the health issues I was having then, but I do think I was reacting to some ingredient in the colour. Thankfully the itching was not severe and no rash developed. It was more like an irritant.

Final Thoughts on BBlunt Salon Secrets High Shine Creme Hair Colour

This is a good product to use just before an event. The shine and colour would be at their prime and look quite glam. As with any hair colour, do a patch test before using it! As for me, I am going to stick to this range for a while and am totally conflicted about staying with blue black or going back to red tones. What do you think I should do?

I got the opportunity to be a part of this collaboration via JAMMs. Thank you 🙂
