Blonde Hair Treatments

What is a Blonde Treatment?
Whether you have natural, bleached, coloured, or highlighted blonde hair, a blonde hair treatment is your secret weapon to keeping brassiness at bay and your hair feeling soft, smooth, and protected.

Blonde treatments are loaded with nourishing oils, butters, and botanical extracts that can deeply condition chemically lightened hair and prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle. Many blonde treatments are also a purple hair treatment. This means that they have been formulated with blue or purple pigments for preventing brassy hair after bleaching. These pigments work to counteract warm and yellow tones in blonde hair and help you to maintain its coolness in between salon visits.

By using the right hair treatment, you can ensure that you stay brilliantly blonde while promoting long-term hair health.

How do You Take Care of Blonde Hair at Home?
Blonde hair may be one of the trickiest shades to maintain, but we've got the quality hair products and expert tips you need to keep your blonde looking beautiful right at home. Whether you're a natural or bleached blonde, these tips will help you get the most out of the experience:

1. Wash your hair less often. Blonde hair is best when washed 1-2 times a week so that your natural oils have time to nourish the roots. Use a dry shampoo in between washes if you get too oily.
2. Arm yourself with the right blonde products. Blondes should be using a purple shampoo, toner, and hair treatment that's made to prevent brassiness, condition, and rebuild hair fibres.
3. Use a heat protection spray. Styling blonde hair with hair dryers, straighteners, and curlers can strip the coolness from it and encourage brassiness. A thermal spray can stop or slow the process.
4. Use a detangling spray. Bleached hair tends to tangle more which can lead to breakage and split ends. Use a detangler and a good hairbrush, like the Tangle Teezer, to remove knots without pulling.

What Product Should I Use for Blonde or Bleached Hair?
When you visit the salon to have your hair coloured, the hairdresser will apply a special toner after bleaching hair that leaves your blonde looking fresh and icy-cool. When this toner washes out, you could be left with brassy hair as those warm undertones start to show through.

A purple shampoo should be your number one product for maintaining the health and beauty of blonde, grey, or bleached hair. Purple shampoos and hair toning treatments are formulated with blue or purple pigments that help to neutralise the brassiness and yellow undertones that can occur in blonde or grey hair. So, how does it work? The theory is that blue sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel which makes it the perfect shade for cooling down the warm tones that form the base for blonde hair. While a toner works immediately and is applied like a hair dye, a purple shampoo works gradually and is a great long-term solution.

For the best toner for after bleaching hair that delivers instant results, try Eslabondexxcolor Hair Color Cream Toners in a range of shades. For a purple shampoo, check out Matrix Total Results Brass Off, Make Blonde Shampoo, and Paul Mitchell Forever Blonde.
