How to Care For Blonde Hair At Home

7 Tips for maintaining your blonde hair at home

1. Use shampoo and conditioner with quality ingredients.

Avoid drugstore products that contain harsh sulphates + parabens. Discuss with your stylist the best products for your specific hair type.

2. Keep your hair strands moisturized with hair oil. Hair oil should be thought of like skin moisturizer for blondes. Your hair is in a more fragile state post lightening and requires moisture to keep the hair cuticle laying flat to prevent breakage.

3. Always use heat protectant! Heat protectant should be applied prior to blow drying, using hot tools and even when your hair is exposed to the sun.

4. Keep hot tools below 350 degrees. This is a huge reason why blondes experience breakage or why toner fades quickly. Do not style your hair at the same temperature you bake your pizza! Keep the heat setting low.

5. Be gentle. Your hair is more fragile after lightening so keep this in mind when brushing, towel drying or styling your hair.

6. Use purple shampoo at home to maintain your blonde tones. Use purple shampoo as infrequently as possible and only when you want to banish warm tones (yellow).
