The Best Blonde Hair Maintenance Tips
Use Relevant Toning Products
Toning formulas are some of the most useful ways for maintaining blonde hair, making them an essential investment. As elements such as chlorine, sea water, and sunshine affect your blonde hair, toning products help to neutralise brassy hair and work to illuminate your blonde hair once again.
You can adjust how much toning your hair gets by how long you keep the product in your hair. The longer it stays in your hair, the longer the toning effect will last. Be sure to work the product from your roots to the ends to ensure consistent coverage and even toning throughout your hair.
Avoid High Heat
While this is easier said than done in Queensland, one of the most important tips for blonde hair maintenance is to protect it from heat. This especially means no blow drying, as it can damage and dull your hair shine. Effective alternatives are to air dry your hair or leave it up in a towel to dry while relaxing at home.
This no-heat policy also means keeping your blonde locks out of the sun, as UV rays can suck the moisture out of your hair and turn your blonde into orange. Your hair can also become brittle and dry as a result. If you are planning a fun day in the sun, always remember to pack a hat to keep your hair protected.
Use a Purple Shampoo
You may have heard about the magic of purple shampoos before, and their reputation as a must-have accessory for maintaining blonde hair is well-deserved. The purple pigments that are present work to counteract the yellow and brassy tones that can develop over time, allowing your hair to retain its beautiful blonde tone.
Purple shampoo works almost like a makeover for your hair and should be used at least once a week to yield the best results. It has been scientifically designed to cleanse your hair without washing away valuable natural oils and moisture. This results in a shinier and healthier look for your gorgeous blonde hair.
Wash Your Hair Less
This may sound counterproductive to keeping your hair clean and lush, but when you over wash your hair, you risk washing away the natural oils that help nourish it. Your hair figments can also fade because of repeated washing. This is important for any colour of hair but is particularly important for blonde hair maintenance.
You should aim to wash your hair no more than once or twice a week, and when you do so, always use blonde hair care products before rinsing with lukewarm water. Ending your wash with a cold rinse is an effective routine to build as it helps to maintain shiny and lustrous hair.
