Summer’s arrived just in time for a daring transformation, no? The age-old saying, “Blondes always have more fun”, is about to get hella real. Hair transformations are always on the top of our feel-good lists. Not only do they give you an entirely different look altogether which can definitely boost your confidence by copious amounts, but they also end up making you feel amazing from the inside too. Come on, let’s be real, how happy does a trip to the salon make you feel? Super ecstatic, no?
If we’re talking about daring transformations, nothing says it more than the colour blonde. Yep, it’s kinda intimidating to even wonder what having blonde locks would be like. But hey, let’s try to have a little fun in summer. Going light doesn’t seem all that bad, especially when you know you’re going to be looking like a million bucks! In case you decide to take the plunge and finally move to the blonde side, we’ve got you covered with all that you need to take care of those stunning tresses. NGL, maintaining the blonde can be a little daunting to keep up with. However, if you’ve got these in your arsenal, there’s nothing to worry about!
Kérastase, Blond Absolu Range
What no one tells you about going blonde is how purple shampoos and conditioners are going to be your newfound besties! The reason purple-tinted products are a must in your hair care regime is that their hue neutralizes all brassy tones and yellow tints on your blonde locks and keeps them looking fresh. Kérastase’s blond absolu range comes enriched with deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid that infuses moisture into dry, bleached hair and Edelweiss flower that nourishes the fibre.
Kérastase, Chroma Absolu Gloss
Now, any kind of hair colour automatically makes your hair more prone to damage. But when you’re going blonde for the summer, your locks tend to get a little more damaged. They appear lifeless, dull and extremely dry to the touch, no? My tresses lost a lot of their shine when I dyed them ash blonde. However, the chroma absolu gloss from Kérastase is all you need for restoring that glisten. It seals the surface of the hair fibre and strengthens it too!
Moroccanoil, Intense Hydrating Mask
On most bad hair days, a good ol’ hair mask is the answer to all of our hair woes, no? We’ve made it pretty clear that moving to the lighter side in terms of hair colour comes with a barrage of issues. In moments like this, there’s nothing better than a super nourishing hair mask, obviously! Moroccanoil’s intense hydrating mask comes with argan oil that offers moisturisation and nourishment on a deeper level than most. You’ll find your hair strands become less coarse and silkier over time, now who wouldn’t want that?
K18, Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
When I dyed my hair ash-blonde, my hair colourist Samantha Wadhwani from Samantha’s Salon treated my hair with K18’s leave-in molecular repair hair mask. This is a leave-in treatment, especially for damaged hair and is designed to work within 4 minutes. It comes with a patented peptide technology which intensively repairs hair that’s been through rounds of bleach.
L’Oreal Paris, Elvive Colour Protect Purple Anti-Brassiness Hair Oil
Even though you might be using a purple shampoo & conditioner to keep the brassiness at bay, it always needs a little pick-me-up. Blonde hair often changes its hues due to pollution, chemicals in the water and other environmental factors. The elvive colour protects purple anti-brassiness hair oil by L’Oreal Paris doesn’t only keep the blonde fresh but also leaves it softer and healthier.
