In our pursuit to give you a more comprehensive understanding of the cost of being blonde, we're adding after care to the list of things to keep track of should you choose to dare with your hair. Hair pros like us will urge you not to skip proper after care so you can so you can enjoy your newly blonde hair. Severely damaged strands can feel rubbery, elastic, brittle, and are prone to breakage so the right pro shampoos & aftercare treatments are essential in keeping your strands strong and healthy.
Sulfate free shampoos not only help maintain the color added back into your hair but it’s also gentle enough not to over strip strands prone to drying from bleach. Choose a sulfate free and nourishing shampoo that can help hair bounce back.
Another essential hair care to have post-bleach are bond builders. A home bond builder treatment like the cult-fave Olaplex No. 3, P2,300, acts as a scaffolding for your weakened strands, to reduce breakage and restore your hair’s health. For a natural and nourishing option try AVEDA Botanical Repair™ Intensive Strengthening Masque: Rich P3,200, an all natural vegan bond building treatment that leaves hair visibly healthier, softer and shinier after just one use.
After weeks enjoying your blonde strands, you may start noticing your color beginning to fade and your locks looking brassy. Keep your hair looking salon-fresh by using purple toning products, like Kérastase Blond Absolu Anti-Brass Shampoo, P1,750. This set neutralizes unwanted brassy tones and illuminates blonde shades for added shine. You can also explore L'Oreal Serie Expert Silver Shampoo, P850, which is
enriched with magnesium and anti-yellowing agents to counteract brass.
Home protein treatments can help strands regain their strength and improve the overall texture of the hair. For best results, use a protein treatment once a week to help strengthen strands and restructure hair cuticles to make them more resilient.
Explore using Davines Melu Conditioner, P1,295, that moisturizes hair and nourishes the ends to prevent hair breakage.
