Whether you have been a blonde your whole life or you’re thinking about lighting up your locks, knowing the ins and outs of blonde hair care is a must. Variety of blondes exist, and all require care to maintain color and health. Knowing the health of your hair before you decide to go blonde is crucial in having a great outcome. In this post we are going to breakdown some preventative care tips and proper regimen care ideas.

Prepping your hair for a blonding service is very important. Having realistic goals is always good when going in for your appointment. Be honest with your colorist about your past services so you know what to expect in the color lifting process. Permanent hair dyes can be difficult to lift through, as well as box color. Always start off with using color safe and sulfate free shampoo and conditioners. Another great way to prep your hair is by knowing what kind of water you have at home. Hard water can be damaging to your hair because of the build up of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. The buildup on the hair makes it difficult for moisture to penetrate and can turn colored hair dry and damaged.

After your blonding services invest in products that will help protect your hair from heat damage, natural elements, and protect you from potential brassy color forming. Purple shampoo is an absolute must have when it comes to blonde hair. In between your color appointments using a purple shampoo once a week can make your blonde hair stay vibrant and reduce chances of yellow and brass colors from forming. Another great tip is investing in a professional dry shampoo, Dry shampoo absorbs the excess oil on your scalp so you can prolong the time between washes. The less washes will prolong the life of your color between appointments. Keeping up with regular haircuts is another great way to keep your hair healthy and ready for your next blonding service.
