Review - Bleach London Reincarnation Mask & Live Forever Conditioner

Yay, I've finally tried it! I've mentioned in several posts now that I've wanted to try the Bleach London Reincarnation Mask ever since I tried my first Bleach London hair dye (I'm becoming a bit obsessed with their stuff at the minute). I thought I'd try both the hair mask and the Live Forever conditioner as both apply to my hair, which is bleached to absolute shit, very, very dry and also repeatedly dyed a pastel pink (with added bits of lilac and blue at the moment) - an ideal candidate to try them out!

Reincarnation Mask - I don't think I've seen a negative review of this anywhere so I've been really excited to try it (which I realise is sad) and see if it lives up to the hype. I applied it to pre-shampooed hair as instructed, left it on for 20 minutes, rinsed and left my hair to dry by itself. Usually when I leave my hair to dry by itself it ends up looking very puffy and frizzy at the ends and I'll have to intervene with some straighteners, but after using the mask I genuinely could leave it to dry naturally without looking like I have an afro and feeling confident and comfortable enough to leave it alone - which genuinely never happens. It's smoother and softer than usual and feels much more hydrated and healthy. I can see why so many people have been ranting on about this stuff because it really does give your hair a treat, and at £6 you're not losing anything by giving it a try! You get a lot more in the tube than I thought you would as after seeing it online I thought it was a one-mask-per-tube type of deal. But nope, I can see this lasting a while as you get a very generous amount for your money. It does promise to also protect your colour on top of everything else and, while I have noticed a small difference, I don't think it compares to the Live Forever conditioner in that respect. But besides that, I cannot sing it's praises enough!

Live Forever Conditioner - Anyone who has ever dyed their hair, particularly a "unnatural colour" and especially a pastel colour, will know that fading is one of the biggest pains. This conditioner promises to fight the fade and keep your hair colour vibrant and brighter for longer. In order to preserve the tiny bit of life that's left in my hair, I try to avoid topping up the colour more than once a month and in the last week or so my hair just ends up looking so...blegh. So I was hoping that this conditioner would help it to stay brighter for longer and maybe help to keep re-dyes even further apart. And so far it has, yay! This conditioner has added about another week of "life" to my hair colour which means I can re-dye it even less now. In regards to softness and shine, the results are good but no more amazing than other conditioners, but I don't really mind as that's not what it promises. I would recommend this to anyone who wants their hair colour to stick around for longer without spending much money (£6).

They both deliver what they promise and both have their pros and (very minor) cons. So if you're focusing on preserving your hair colour, then stick to the Live Forever conditioner and if you're looking to give your hair a new lease of life, then stick to the Reincarnation Mask. And if you're greedy and indecisive like me, get both!


Have you tried any Bleach London products?

  1. I have never dyed my hair, so I really cannot comment much on the efficiency of the product. However, your product review was definitely informative and helpful. Were I in the market for such a product, I would definitely refer to your review.

    1. I don't think I've ever actually used a Loreal dye before but I usually love conditioners that come with dyes, they leave your hair feeling gorgeous! And I've never tried the Bleach ombre kit either but thanks for the word of warning! I'll steer clear haha x

  3. I've never tried or even heard of Bleach before but I have horribly frizzy hair so I think I'm going to look into it and get some, anything to tame this mane.

    1. I know how you feel, frizzy hair is a pain. But it'd definitely be worth it to give them a try! x
