Thirteen years ago, I had incredibly long hair. And I was very happy with it, although I didn't take care of it very well. I am naturally blonde, but felt the need to dye it pitch black all of a sudden. I thought it would look good on me (spoiler: it didn't). Back to blonde again and then trying to be a brunette, only to realize that my natural blonde hair really suits me best... And yes: dyeing again. When I think back, I could kick myself, because those countless dye sessions did my hair no good, resulting in it breaking and not wanting to grow as long as it used to.

And I still regret that, but I'm not a donkey that bumps into the same stone twice. No, I am now completely into haircare. And that's how I ended up with this line from L’Oréal, called Elvive Dream Lengths Styling. How I came across it, you can probably guess: I want my locks to be longer but especially healthier. And it's going in the right direction with these products. I really love the serum on my hair, just like the No Haircut Cream, a cream that you don't have to wash out. Ideal if you have a bit less time. Besides, I am best friends with my straightener and curling iron, so the Heat Protect Spray cannot be missing.

My latest acquisition is the 3000 series Hair Dryer from Philips. A first for me, because I am really such a klutz with hair dryers and I always manage to burn my own hands. So this one is right up my alley: it dries your hair powerfully, but at a much lower temperature. No more burns for me, finally.
