There are some factors involved in being blonde. Not just making the appointment at your hair salon and leaving it in their capable hands. You need to do your part too if you want to maintain glossy, goldy locks!
What do you need to consider before being blonde?
- Your hair condition before highlighting. If you hair isn’t strong enough, highlighting your hair can cause breakage and leave your hair looking dull and lifeless. If your hair isn’t healthy enough to highlight, we will recommend treatments that you can do in the salon and at home to rebuild your hair.
- When your hair is beautiful blonde ready, you need to decide which shade of blonde you go. Deciding this often comes down to your skin tone, so that your shade of blonde compliments your natural features. Your hairstylist should be able to recommend which shade will suit you best.
- Once you have achieved your salon fresh colour, you might need to see how your your blonde washes. After a few weeks you might need a toner. Toners lift your highlights to greater vibrancy and eliminate the yellows that often show through after a few weeks.
- A must in your blonde maintenance regime; your blonde haircare hair treatments. The best way to do this is with professional, in-salon hair treatment services. Every few weeks treating your hair to a Botox Blowdry or Oleoplex Blowdry will keep your blonde bouncy and glossy. To full-proof your hair care regime, using a blonde specific shampoo and hair mask at home or Botox or Oleoplex shampoo and mask will guarantee your hair health. That is if you greatly minimise, or even better cut out, the use of hoot tools like straighteners and curling tongs.
- Finally, to reiterate the last point, the use of hot tools needs to be very minimal or even better, eliminated. You are only damaging your hair with each stroke of the straightening iron, or each tonged curl.
So, if you are considering blonde, make sure you analyse the above points so that you can get the most out of your blonde service.
