Mastering Blonde Maintenance: 5 Invaluable Tips for Home Care




Blondes, oh how we love your diverse and stunning hues – from the icy platinum to the effortlessly lived-in natural shades. Yet, being a blonde isn't just about a color; it's a lifestyle that demands a little extra care. In this comprehensive blog post, your Westboro hair colour experts at Pierino Scarfo Salon are excited to share five indispensable tips for maintaining your fabulous blonde right at home. Dive into the world of blonde with confidence, armed with the knowledge and tools to keep your dream blonde looking flawless every day. 

 

1. Toning for Blonde Hair: 

Anyone who has had blonde hair for a while should be well aware of the importance of purple or blue-based products in your hair care routine. After a salon lightening session, the toner applied by your Westboro hair color specialist gradually fades with each wash, revealing unwanted brassy tones. Combat this issue with purple or blue toning products, such as shampoos, conditioners, or leave-ins. Pierino Scarfo Hair Salon in Westboro offers an extensive selection of toning products, and our experts can guide you to the perfect product tailored to your specific blonde needs.

2. Treatments for Blonde Hair: 

Lightening your hair involves breaking down pigment molecules, potentially causing damage. Treatments are a blonde's best friend, healing and strengthening strands from within. Regardless of your hair color, incorporating a treatment into your routine is vital. However, it's especially crucial for blondes looking to maintain the health of their compromised strands. Our Westboro hair colour experts recommend personalized treatment options suited to your hair's needs. 

 

3. Heat Protection for Blonde Hair: 

Protecting your hair from heat is essential, particularly for lightened locks. With the internal damage caused by lightening, be extra cautious when styling. Opt for heat protectant products, especially if your Ottawa blonde hair will be exposed to the sun for an extended period. This preventative measure helps prevent UV damage and unwanted brassy tones. Consult with our Westboro hair experts to discover the ideal heat protection product for your specific hair type and needs. 

 

4. Washing Blonde Hair: 

Blonde hair tends to be dry, so it's crucial to avoid over-washing, which can strip strands of desperately needed natural oils. Our recommendation is to space out the time between washes to allow your blonde locks to soak up as many natural oils as possible. Incorporate a dry shampoo into your routine to extend the time between wash days. Finish your wash with cold water, a tip applicable to all colored and lightened hair, as it seals the cuticle, preserving color and leaving your hair soft and shiny. If your hair turns brassy quickly, check your water quality; investing in a showerhead filter can neutralize hard water elements. At Pierino Scarfo Salon, our Westboro hair experts can guide you on the best washing routine and recommend suitable products for your hair type. 

 

5. Tender Loving Care (TLC) for Blonde Hair: 

Given blonde hair's predisposition to dryness, it deserves extra care. During conditioning, use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly without causing tangling. Invest in a quality brush to prevent breakage, and consider upgrading to a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize pulling, tangling, and breakage while you sleep. Our specialists at Pierino Scarfo Salon can provide personalized recommendations for brushes and other tools to keep your blonde hair healthy and beautiful. 

 

Conclusion: 

The age-old question remains: do blondes have more fun? One thing is certain—they have more maintenance! Being a blonde is a commitment, and these tools in your hair care arsenal ensure you're doing it right.
