- 5 min reading time
As a blonde, you naturally know that blonde hair needs proper care, especially if you have bleached it. There are countless ways and brands, with product lines specially developed for blonde hair. That’s why it can sometimes be tricky to know what to do to give your bleached locks the ultimate care. With these 8 tips, you’ll ensure your blonde hair is optimally cared for and stays beautiful!
First things first - Products for blonde hair
To optimally care for bleached hair, it’s important to use the right products. Start with a purple, hydrating Shampoo and conditioner specially developed for bleached hair. A recommendation is the Extreme Silver Shampoo from More Haircare. This Shampoo is ideal for blondes because it not only neutralizes yellow and orange tones but also strengthens and hydrates the hair. Perfect for keeping your blonde locks fresh and healthy!
In addition, the Metal Detox Shampoo from L'Oréal is a must for bleached hair. This Shampoo is specially developed to remove the harmful effects of metals, such as iron, from the hair. Metals can accumulate in bleached hair, causing the color to fade faster and the hair to become brittle. The Metal Detox Shampoo helps cleanse and protect the hair from damage, keeping your blonde locks beautiful and strong for longer.
Another top choice for bleached hair is the BLONDEME All Blondes Rich Set from Schwarzkopf, which instantly detangles and improves the hair’s elasticity and strength.
My hair can’t take the heat - Avoid heat tools
Yes, yes, we know. It’s been said sooo many times: “use heat tools as little as possible.” But we’re going to tell you again. Heat tools like hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons get super hot, and that heat can cause further damage to bleached hair. Not ideal if you want to restore your hair! A super handy method for creating beautiful curls without heat is the Heatless Curls Curler Kit. This unique kit from Umberto Giannini contains everything you need to create perfect curls without heat. Hair on fleek, without heat damage!
But let’s stay realistic: we all sometimes use a hairdryer or straightener. So if you do decide to use heat, make sure to use a good heat protection spray. ;)
Hydration can be learned - hydrate blonde hair
Hydration is super important and very healthy. Drinking enough water (this is your reminder to drink water) is good for your whole body. But did you know your hair also needs a lot of hydration? And yes: water remains a perfect way to hydrate, but your hair needs a different kind of hydrator. So regularly use a hair mask. Look for products containing ingredients like keratin, argan oil, or coconut oil, which help repair damaged hair.
Prevent hair breakage
Preventing hair breakage often comes down to adjusting the small things. Of course, you can support the process by using nourishing and hydrating hair products. But using a different brush is also an important factor. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with natural bristles to gently detangle the hair, like the Touch of Nature Wooden Detangling Brush. Avoid brushing when the hair is wet, as this can lead to breakage.
Protect blonde hair from the sun
Does your hair need sun protection? Yes! Your hair and scalp also need sun protection. This is often (literally) overlooked, but it’s just as important as protecting your face and body. Sun exposure can cause bleached hair to fade and dry out. So use products with UV protection or cover your hair with a hat or scarf when you’re in the sun for a long time. Enjoy the sun this summer without damaging your hair by using UV protection!
Prevent split ends!
The most well-known way to fight split ends is, of course, to go to the hairdresser. That’s probably no hardship, because it’s always nice to refresh your hair now and then. So get your hair trimmed regularly. This is perfect for removing split ends but also ideal for promoting the overall health of your hair. Hairsalon here I come!
No-wash day - Wash your hair as little as possible
Are you joining the challenge? The No-wash day challenge is going viral for good reason. Many people wash their hair daily or even multiple times a day. We’ve been guilty of it too… Washing your hair too often can strip natural oils, causing dryness. So join us in the challenge to reduce how often you wash your hair. Use dry shampoo between washes to absorb excess oil.
Use silver shampoo
For blonde locks, the Extreme Silver Shampoo from More Haircare is essential. Also known as purple shampoo. This Shampoo helps neutralize unwanted yellow tones and refresh the blonde color, making the hair look brighter and cooler. Use the Silver Shampoo once or twice a week, depending on the desired color correction, but avoid overuse to prevent dryness.
