How to care for blonde hair?
A proper routine for your blonde hair is very important. Coloured blonde hair has been through a lot and deserves some extra attention. It’s essential to follow the right routine, and it all starts in the shower. Below you'll find some hair care tips for
Step 1: It all starts with the right shampoo. To prevent colour fading, it’s important to choose a shampoo specifically for coloured hair. For example, the MORE Haircare Color Shampoo or you can opt for a shampoo with light purple pigments to enhance the cool tone — one we highly recommend is Goldwell Dualsenses Blondes & Highlights Anti-Yellow Shampoo. It’s best to use the shampoo twice: once to cleanse and once to care.
Step 2: If you think you’re done after shampooing, think again! To bring out the cool tone in your hair, use a silver shampoo. Leave it on for a few minutes so it can work its magic. One we recommend that does exactly what it should, plus a little extra, is the purple shampoo from MORE Haircare Extreme Silver Shampoo.
Step 3: Now it’s time to treat your hair to a spa moment. Caring for your hair is crucial, and you do this with a nourishing mask to help repair damage. Here are the top three hair masks that provide optimal care:
- K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask: a true standout among hair masks. It’s one of those cases where it costs a bit, but you really get results. This mask repairs damaged hair from the inside out. It works in just four minutes.
- Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair 60s Treatment: the name says it all — this mask only needs sixty seconds to do its job. It’s short and powerful, giving your hair full care.
- L'Oreal SE Absolut Repair Gold QuInoa Golden Masker: perfect for damaged and weak hair. Besides providing ultimate care, it looks amazing in your bathroom — it’s pure gold! Honestly, who wouldn't want that?
Step 4: To finish your wash, use conditioner. Conditioner helps seal the hair cuticles, making hair smoother and frizz-free. It protects your hair from external factors, prevents moisture loss, and keeps your locks healthy longer. For best results, use shampoo and conditioner from the same range. This way the line can work effectively. A conditioner that pairs well with the above products is the MORE Haircare Color Conditioner and from Goldwell the Goldwell Dualsenses Blondes & Highlights Anti-Yellow Conditioner.

To make your hair even more ashen, more hair care has launched a Perfect product, namely a silverSpray. On our TikTok you can see exactly how Noa uses the product, but we’ll explain it here too. It’s a silverSpray that’s best applied first onto a hairbrush to avoid immediate stains, even if the product claims it won’t — better safe than sorry. Then brush it through your hair so the purple pigments can spread and do their work. On TikTok you can also instantly see the final result and the incredible difference this product makes.
Which care products are essential in my blonde hair routine?
A good Haircare routine doesn’t stop after washing. These steps keep your hair nourished, protected and in top condition all day;
Step 1: Your hair is freshly washed and smells great, time to nourish it. First, it’s very important to apply a leave-in conditioner on wet hair. Wet hair is very fragile, so it should be applied immediately. A leave-in conditioner not only hydrates your hair but also makes it easier to comb, prevents frizz and offers heat protection (double-check the product description, not every leave-in conditioner provides this) and shields against harmful external factors. This keeps your hair stronger, shinier and better protected from daily damage!
Step 2: The next step is a serum, which prevents frizz and static hair while adding extra hydration and nourishment, making it soft and shiny.
Step 3: If you use heat styling tools, add a heat protector to your routine to minimise heat damage.
Step 4: Use a hair oil to smooth the last frizz from your hair and give extra care.
Tip: apply hair oil before washing and leave it in for a few hours as a leave-in treatment. This adds that little extra care for your hair and scalp.
Adjust your routine to the season of the year!
Like your wardrobe, your hair has different needs each season. Weather conditions such as sun, cold and humidity affect the condition of your blonde locks. Adjusting your routine keeps your hair healthy and radiant.
Spring: Preparing for summer
After winter, your hair is often drier and more brittle. Use a restorative hair mask and trim dry ends. Also start using UV protection to prevent colour fading.
Summer: Protecting against sun and dryness
Sun, sea and chlorine can dry out and fade blonde hair. Use a UV-protective Spray, hydrate with leave-in conditioner and rinse your hair with clean water after swimming.
Autumn: Repairing summer damage
Feed your hair intenSiely with a deeply hydrating mask and protein treatments to repair summer damage. Switch to a milder, sulphate-free shampoo to avoid further drying out your hair. The shampoo description lists all product features so you can easily find the sulphate-free option.
Winter: Hydration and anti-static
Cold air and heating dry and statically charge your hair. Choose moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, avoid heat tools and wear a silk scarf under your hat to prevent damage. Swap your normal pillowcase for a satin one and use satin scrunchies to avoid further damage. veganboost offers the Perfecte items for this.
By adjusting your hair routine each season, your blonde hair stays strong, shiny and healthy!
