When it comes to blonde hair, without proper TLC it’s easy for your locks to become brassy and dry over time. Follow these simple steps to help your hair look its best for as long as possible.
1. Apply a hair mask
Blonde hair can get very dry, so add moisture to your hair routine with a weekly hair mask. Hair masks can also prevent breakage, limit split ends, and leave your hair looking healthier while rebuilding strength and adding shine.
2. Hold off from heat products
While we all love our styling tools, overuse can stress our hair out and lead it to become dry and brittle. It’s best to avoid using them as much as possible, but a good heat-protection spray is a great way to protect your hair for when you do.
3. Wash your hair less often
Washing your hair too often can affect the look and feel of your blonde tresses and can also strip your hair of its natural oils, so stick to washing 2-3 times a week maximum. Dry shampoo is a great option for stretching out your hair washes.
4. Use purple shampoo
Once your toner has faded, blonde hair can become warm and brassy. Purple shampoo neutralises the tone by depositing pigments of purple colour into the hair to balance out any unwanted brassy tones.
5. Rinse with cool water
While it might not be the most appealing thing to do in the middle of winter, finishing your hair wash with a blast of cold water will close your hair cuticles, minimise fade and promote shine.
As always, feel free to pop into any Barrie Stephen salon for advice about the best products for you.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
