In the world of beauty, the blonde color has managed to attract the attention of many hair experts, who are practicing their technique to achieve the perfect shade. With their natural glow and the uniqueness that they offer, have become an inspiration source for decates. 

While they dominate fashion trends, their care proves to be quite demanding. Taking care of this hair requires increased effort, while information is essential to choose the right products.

Sun exposure, the use of thermal tools, color alteration and the styling process are key challenges to a healthy blonde look.

Especially, after the summer vacations, the care of the blonde hair becomes even more important. The sea salt and chlorine damage the quality of hair, so it is needed the carefully care to deal with these consequenses and maintain the health and the shine of your hair. 

What are their main features that you should pay attention to?

Blonde hair color comes with a number of characteristics, which are almost always present, although not necessarily true for everyone. It is important to note that the quality and structure of hair can vary depending on heredity and external conditions.

First of all, it is observed that they tend to be a little thinner than the other hair shades. This is usually due to the reduced density of keratin, a protein that is a main ingredient into hair. This deficiency makes them vulnerable to moisture loss, resulting in dryness and dehydration.

Therefore, in combination with styling tools, solar radiation and external factors, the ends end up being affected as well. Hair becomes prone to breakage and split ends more often.

Meanwhile, during the warm months of the year, the decisive factor is solar radiation (mainly ultraviolet radiation, UV). Blonde hair due to their thin structure and the lower amount of melanin it contains, suffers negative effects on its health.

Discoloration is the most common outcome. The result; dull, dehydrated hair that has developed unwanted shades such as yellow or orange.

Which is the ideal care guide for blonde hair?

Choose the right professional products

Blonde hair haw greater demands, that's why have been created hair care series by the most well-known brands, exclusively for blonde hair. Prefer those that are sulfate free and in general they contain mild compositions that are based on natural elements and less on chemicals, which help to maintain the proper natural oils into hair. 

Among these products, invest in the suitable silver shampoo. It has the ability to neutralizes the orange or yellow shades. 

While you are washing your hair with lukewarm water, apply a purple (silver) shampoo and let the hair absorb the pigments that restore the balance to the color. The difference with other shampoos, is that you have to wait for a few minutes before rinsing it well with plenty of water. Depending on the product, you should see on the package how long it will take for it to act on the hair.

Frequent haircut

If you wish to have constantly a fresh, healthy hair, it is essential to cut your hair at least 3 points every 2 months. In this way, the edges will be renewed, as all traces of wear and tear will be removed.

Avoid too much heat 

Thermal tools demand your highest attention, as on an already sensitive color, they could cause damage, such as dryness. A necessary step before styling is to apply an oil to the length of the hair and a thermoprotective product, so that they will provide you the maximum heat protection.

Hydration

The hair care routine should include suitable moisturizing products, such as conditioner. One of its properties is to help close the hair follicles and retain the moisturizing elements inside the hair.

However, a conditioner by itself is not enough for the effective care of blondes.

Experts recommend moisturizing your hair while also combining visits to the hairdresser. Moisturizing & nourishing treatments at regular intervals will effectively help in healthy hair growth.

Sun protection

Its radiation can be fatal for the quality of the blonde. In the market you can look for many options of products that offer sun protection, such as oils, sunscreens, serums, even shampoos.

Including them in your treatment before you leave the house will contribute positively to avoid discoloration and damage.

In addition, during exposure to the sun, you can cover them with a hat or scarf.
