Blonde hair

Make your dreams about stunning blonde hair come true! Keeping your blonde hair in perfect condition requires the right approach and hair care as well as a bit of patience. This is because blonde hair is especially prone to being affected by sunlight, smog, chlorinated water or salt water as well as hair lightening at home or in a salon. All of this makes blonde hair more brittle, prone to breakage, and straw-like. Luckily, Notino has the right solution. So – how to make sure your blonde hair stays gorgeous and healthy?

Choosing the right shampoo for blonde hair

Keeping your blonde hair beautiful starts with the right washing method. Whether you want your blonde to be cool or more of a warm golden shade, you always need a special shampoo for blonde hair. 

Shampoo for cool shades of blonde

Keeping your cool blonde (or silver blonde) nice is easy, as long as you use the right products! A purple shampoo will reduce yellow undertones by using purple pigments. The colours purple and yellow are on the exact opposite sides of the colour wheel, which means they cancel each other out. These products are usually marketed as shampoos for yellow hair or silver shampoos for blonde hair, but they all have the same basic effect. If you have highlights, ombré or balayage on darker hair, there’s no need to worry – a shampoo against yellow undertones won’t have any unwanted effect on the darker parts of your hair.

Golden blonde

Both naturally blonde hair and bleached hair can be weak and prone to damage, which is why you should always go with a shampoo for dry and damaged blonde hair. A good shampoo will help thoroughly regenerate and nourish lightened hair, strengthen it and reduce its breakage while it properly cleanses your scalp. A lightening shampoo also has brightening effects and leaves your hair incredibly radiant and soft.

Chamomile for natural hair lightening

Hair-lightening with chamomile is a secret weapon of anyone who wants to care for their blonde hair in a natural way. The longer you’ve been bleaching your hair, the more prone your colour is to washing out, turning yellow or fading. This is why we recommend that everyone with blonde hair tries a lightening chamomile shampoo. Chamomile nourishes and regenerates your bleached hair as well as your scalp while providing a brightening and lightening effect.

Strengthening treatment after every wash

You should also regenerate and nourish your hair after every wash to keep your blonde colour bright and prevent split ends. A good conditioner for blonde hair is essential – it closes the hair cuticle and smooths down its surface while locking moisture inside. You can also try a silver conditioner that will help you get rid of yellow undertones.

Purple hair mask for even brighter blonde hair

At least once a week, you should also do a deep-regenerating treatment that provides a more concentrated dose of nutrients and essential substances. A nourishing mask for blonde hair will give your lightened hair shine and strength while providing the right amount of moisture. A purple hair mask for yellow undertones provides nutrients, plus it makes your cool blonde shade even brighter.

Our tip: If you want to keep your lightened hair and your scalp really healthy, don’t go to bed while your hair is still damp. Always dry it completely using a ionising hair dryer that will make your hair beautifully smooth without excessive heat.

Other products for blonde hair

Keeping your blonde mane gorgeous is about more than just treatments for freshly washed hair – you also need to nourish your hair between washes. What’s the best way to do it?

• After washing and towel-drying your hair, always apply a leave-in lotion, cream or hair emulsion for blonde hair to provide a final nourishing and protective film.
• Always remember to use heat protection when heat-styling your hair.
• Brush your hair with gentle hair brushes and combs only after it’s dried. Make sure to start at the ends and proceed in sections.
• A good product to use between washes are hair oils designed specifically for blonde hair. Some hair oils actually contain natural colourants and might affect the shade of your hair. An oil for blonde hair helps heal split ends and nourishes stressed-out hair.
• If you’re wondering how to revive the colour of your blonde hair, try a lightening spray or powder hair lightener that brighten up the shade and make it especially radiant.
• Before any sun exposure, protect your hair with an SPF so that the UV light doesn’t dry it out and affect its colour. You can try a hair sunscreen in the form of a light SPF spray for blonde hair, a special oil or a hair fragrance with UV protection.

Hair damage caused by colouring or bleaching can show up over time, which is why you should take proper care of your hair even if it currently looks quite healthy. If you want to take an extra step in your hair routine, we recommend trying hair vitamins that nourish your hair from the inside.
