1. What is the perfect blonde hair color?
When it comes to achieving the perfect blonde hair color, the most important consideration is to determine which shade of blonde you want. Blonde hair exists in a range of shades, including ash blonde, honey blonde, and platinum blonde. Choose a shade that is going to best suit your skin tone. Generally, cool undertones tend to suit cooler shades of blonde, such as ash blonde or platinum blonde, and warmer undertones tend to suit warmer shades like honey blonde or golden blonde. Your best bet is to consult one of our stylists, who will help you to determine which shade of blonde will look best on you. They have years of experience in helping our clients to choose the perfect shade of blonde that will showcase their features and make them look their best.
2. Maintenance is Key
The key to achieving the perfect blonde hair color is regular maintenance. Blonde hair, particularly if it’s light in tone, is prone to brassiness. This is due to the natural underlying pigment and can give your hair an orange or yellow hue. To keep your hair looking its best and to keep the color true to its intended shade, you’ll need to do regular toning treatments. These treatments involve using hair masks usually containing violet or blue pigments. These counteract the yellow or orange pigments, neutralizing the color and leaving your hair looking its best. If you have a more brassy or orange tone, invest in some blue shampoo and conditioner, but if you have more yellow tones, invest in purple shampoo and conditioner In-between salon visits, use purple or blue shampoo and conditioner to keep your color looking fresh and vibrant in between appointments.
3. Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For Help
If you’re not up to managing and maintaining your own blonde color, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Professional hairdressers are familiar with all of the nuances of achieving the perfect blonde hair color. From selecting the right shade to maintaining the color thereafter, they know what they’re talking about and can help you to make the right decisions. They can also help you to choose the right products and treatments that are going to nourish and protect your hair, as well as helping you to maintain the perfect blonde hair color. Afterall, a good hair journey starts with healthy and strong hair, so you need to make sure that it’s protected from any harsh treatments.
4. The Right Products Make All The Difference
When it comes to achieving the perfect blonde hair color, the products you use are just as important as the treatments you have done. You need to use the right products to ensure that the color lasts and that your hair remains healthy and strong. Choose products that are specifically designed for dyed hair, such as sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing masks. Moisture is key when it comes to protecting your hair and keeping it looking its best. Protein-rich products can also help to nourish your hair and maintain the health of your strands. Use color-safe products that are going to maintain the vibrancy of your color and keep it looking salon fresh. We use and suggest Jack Winn Pro products that offer a variety of amazing treatments that will always give you that “salon feel!”
5.Keep your Color Fresh
Although you may want to avoid the salon altogether, regular trims are paramount to keeping your blonde color looking its best (not to mention we offer a free haircut with every color treatment!). Regular haircuts will remove any split ends which can cause the hair to look dry and brittle. While at the salon, you should also ask your stylist to do a color stretching treatment which will ensure that the color stays vibrant and won’t start to fade. Regular treatments are also essential for maintaining your blonde hair color. You should touch up your roots every 8 weeks or so, to keep your color looking uniform and prevent any brassy roots from appearing. At the same time, schedule regular toning treatments which will help to neutralize any unwanted pigmentation and refresh your color.
6. Perfecting Blonde Hair Color Is An Ongoing Journey
Achieving the perfect blonde hair color doesn’t happen overnight. It’s an ongoing journey that requires patience, dedication and maintenance. Be prepared to plan regular trips to the salon and stock up on the right products that are going to nourish and protect your hair. If you’re consistent with your maintenance routine and make sure you’re using the right products, you’ll be well on your way to achieving the perfect blonde hair color.
