How to care for your bleached hair with Paul Mitchell
Bleached hair - so pretty! Especially the first few days after a salon visit are pure enjoyment. After that, you need to take care of your blonde locks yourself to keep them looking great. That’s why we’ve put together a few tips to keep your blonde locks beautiful:
Choose the right shampoo and conditioner
Keep your locks bright without a yellow tint using a silver shampoo. We recommend using the Platinum Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner once or twice a week to keep your blonde locks salon-fresh. Alternate the silver shampoo with a nourishing shampoo and conditioner.Bleaching is a chemical treatment, so your hair will need some care afterwards. That’s where the Forever Blonde Perfect comes in. It respects your bleached hair and contains KerActive protein, providing intense nourishment to keep blonde hair light, bright and healthy.
Keep hair hydrated
If you’re not naturally blonde but have bleached your hair, it needs extra care. It’s important to keep your hair well hydrated. The Forever Blonde Spray by Paul Mitchell helps your hair recover and hydrate thoroughly. The mix of Macadamia oil and KerActive protein seals the cuticle, keeping your hair strong and preventing further dryness.
Protect your hair from heat
This may seem obvious, yet it’s often forgotten. The Daily Boost by Paul Mitchell is a great example of a multifunctional heat protector. Especially for coloured hair, heat from styling tools can fade your colour. Hair can break or split ends can occur. Always remember to use heat protection to reduce damage to your hair.
Protect hair from the sun
In summer, it’s useful to wear a hat or cap if your hair is exposed to the sun. If you’re not a fan, try hair products with UV protection.
Protect your hair from water
And no, we don’t literally mean that water drops can’t touch your hair or that your hair will be damaged if you cycle through pouring rain ;) Swimming pools can expose your hair to chlorine. Apply conditioner before swimming for some protection against salt or chlorine contact. Or rinse your hair immediately after swimming in a pool or the sea. Chlorine or salt combined with sun exposure is a no-go for bleached hair.
Make your colour last longer
Keep your colour fresh by occasionally getting a gloss treatment at your favourite salon. Maintain your roots and keep using the right shampoos for long-lasting results!
