Are you considering a summer transformation with some luscious blonde locks, but feeling a tad uncertain about the process? Going blonde for the first time might seem like stepping into the unknown, but fret not! In today’s blog, your friendly hairstylists at Pierino Scarfo Hair Salon will spill the tea on how to make this journey a breeze! That's right, we've got your back! 

What to Anticipate When Going Blonde 

Before taking the plunge into the world of blonde, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Here are 4 key nuggets of wisdom: 

Be Patient, It’s a Journey 

If you’re starting with darker hair, achieving your desired blonde shade might take a few visits to the salon. Buckle up and embrace the process – we’re here to guide you every step of the way! 

Touch-Ups are the Name of the Game 

Depending on your hair growth rate, plan for touch-up sessions every few weeks to keep your blonde looking fresh. Our WESTBORO hair colour wizards will craft the perfect maintenance plan for your blonde mane! 

Prepare for Some Dryness 

Bleaching can leave your hair feeling a bit parched. Show your strands some love with extra conditioner and indulge in a nourishing hair mask or oil treatment. Our salon is stocked with top-notch products to keep your hair in tiptop shape! 

Sun Protection is Essential 

Blonde hair is more susceptible to sun damage, so slap on a hat or scarf when venturing outdoors for extended periods. Don’t forget to shield your strands with UV protection products too! 

Choosing Your Perfect Shade and Tone of Blonde 

Selecting the right shade and tone of blonde is key to rocking your new look. Consider these factors: 

Skin Tone Matters 

Cool skin tones pair well with ashy blondes, while warm tones complement golden or honey hues. Not sure? Leave it to our WESTBORO hair colour gurus to work their magic! 

Define Your Look 

Decide whether you want a natural or bold blonde look to match your vibe. 

Assess Existing Hair Color 

If your hair is already dyed, bleaching might be necessary before diving into the blonde realm. Our expert stylists will navigate you through the process with ease. 

Prep Tips for Your Blonde Transformation 

Before your hair gets a blonde makeover, prep it like a pro: 

Keep It Natural 

Skip the pre-dye wash – a bit of natural oil will protect your scalp during bleaching. 

Shade Selection Strategy 

Consult with our WESTBORO hair colour aficionados to pick the perfect blonde shade for you. 

Maintenance Hacks for Blonde Hair 

Blondes just wanna have fun, but maintenance is key! Here’s how to keep your blonde looking fabulous: 

Invest in Blonde-Specific Products 

Opt for quality shampoo and conditioner formulated for blonde hair to maintain its vibrancy and health. 

Handle with Care 

Limit hair washing to every other day to retain natural oils and use lukewarm water for a gentler cleanse. 

Sunscreen for Your Strands 

Just like your skin, your blonde locks need protection from the sun. Slather on a Leave-In Conditioner with SPF for added defense. 

Consider Alternatives to Full-On Blonde 

Not ready to fully commit to blonde? No problem! Explore alternatives like highlights or lowlights for a subtle blonde effect.
