Most recommended tips by the Carter House to maintain blonde hair.
The most important tip I can always give each of my clients is: If you intend on going blonde, please remember that maintenance is KEY!
Also, box blonde are not advisable (my personal opinion). Go and see a stylist for a consultation as there are many things to take into consideration when going lighter in hair colour.
I have seen some pretty good home blonde do’s, however if this if you are not trained or skilled in this, please consult a professional.
Golden rules:
Sulfate-free products only (less harsh on the hair follicles)
Purple / Silver shampoo and conditioner is an absolute must!
A good nourishing hair mask to use weekly for the first 5 weeks is key.
Best advised method by The Carter House of Beauty:
Wash hair with silver shampoo and conditioner every second week.
Example:
This week you will proceed to wash with silver shampoo and conditioner
I normally mix a bit off my silver conditioner and our holygrail mask together, apply and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing.
Heat defence and finishing serum is key. It keeps the hair from going dry during the styling process.
Week 2.
Wash with our argan sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
On this step I also proceed to mix a bit of conditioner and a bit of my mask together. Keep on for 10 minutes and rinse and style.
This is how I maintain my blondes and also what I have advised many clients to do.
I hope this easy tip has helped you keep your blonde hair in top shape!
