  • Blonde hair can be very drying so be sure to keep hair hydrated always deep condition with a hydrating mask after every wash.
  • Preserve what you got, and if you wear a weave, wig or extensions protect hair with a hair oil that contain SPF this will help maintain your color and deeply nourish your hair.
  • Alway keep hair trimmed. We know that  you are trying to hang on to all your inches but we sweat more often in the summer months and the salt content contained in sweat can be very drying, particularly our ends as they are constantly brushing up on our necks.  A regular trim will avoid breakage.
  • Due to root growth, all-over color will need to be touched up every four to eight weeks.  Highlights can last up to two or three months, depending on what kind you get.
  • If you are not ready to make a full commitment to blonde (Trust us when we tell you, it takes a lot of work to keep it looking great). Opt for a wig, you can look fabulous without all the extra work.
  • When going light, consider your skin tone and choose the best shade for you.  If you are not sure, visit your stylist or DM an expert so she/or he can help you as you transition.
  • Trust your colorist’s opinion on how light your hair can go without damaging it. Several appointments may be required if you’re going from a dark natural color to a lighter blonde. Patience is key!
