How Do I Look After My Blonde?
When Clients ask me, “How Do I Look After My Blonde?” Here’s what I say.
Just stepped out of the salon with fresh blonde hair? Here’s how to properly maintain your blonde hair at home and extend the life of your colour between appointments.
Prioritise hydration!! Lightened hair is more porous and prone to becoming dry. It’s basically like us the morning after drinking too many cocktails….. THIRSTY!! Use a deep conditioning mask weekly and invest in a hydrating leave-in treatment for daily moisture. Applying serum at night also helps the ends from drying out.
Alternate with molecular repair – this is crucial to stop damaging its tracks. I love Kerasilk recovery, I would advise using this for the first 3 washes after your appointment then once a week after that.
Minimise heat styling. When you do use hot tools, always apply a thermal protectant to prevent further damage and colour fade.
Wash strategically and with intention. Try to wash your hair no more than 2 times per week to preserve your colour and natural oils, and treat the whole process like a ritual.
Protect your hair from environmental stressors, UV Rays, Chlorine and Hard Water can quickly alter blonde tones. Wear a hot and consider a shower filter.
Blonde hair is beautiful but requires thoughtful care. With the right home routine, you can keep your colour luminous, your strands healthy and your salon results lasting longer.
Save this for your next wash day routine, and share with a fellow blondie!
