Blonde Hair Color Hair Care

Posted by Kenny On August - 24 - 2009

Only two percent of the world’s population has naturally blonde hair, which means that a large majority of women color their hair blonde. Whether your hair is naturally blonde or dyed blonde, you need to take care of your hair to ensure the color is long lasting.

If you have naturally blonde hair, the shade tends to darken as time goes on. It is better to avoid chemicals to style your hair as it will thin your hair and weigh it down. To keep your blonde hair looking full, you can try volumizing products such as root boosts. Moisturizing hair products are always best to use to keep your naturally blonde hair sleek and healthy.

Before coloring your hair blonde, keep a few simple guidelines in mind to ensure you get the best results. Always have a patch test one whole day prior to the full color application. This way you’ll know well beforehand if you are allergic to the coloring. If you have naturally blonde hair and are intending on coloring it, do not go for colors that are more than two shades darker or lighter than your natural color.


Don’t wash your hair right before the coloring procedure. This removes natural oils from your hair, making it dull and dry. Unless you are getting your hair colored by a professional, always go for natural hair color, and check the ingredients to make sure there are no harmful chemicals in it. Avoid using any heavy conditioners on your hair because they can lift the color off blonde hair.

After you have your hair colored to the blonde shade you desire, take care of it well. Protecting your newly blonde locks from the sun is an essential rule, as sunlight can cause blonde hair to become dry, and may even turn it red eventually. These qualities are difficult to get rid of once they occur. Always carry an umbrella when going out into the sun. You can also use hats or scarves to cover up your hair and protect its color and health.

Washing your hair before going swimming and applying a leave-in conditioner can help protect your hair against the chlorine and countless other chemicals found in swimming pools that can turn blonde hair green.

Keep moisturizing your hair regularly. This is doubly important if you find yourself using thermal styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons often. Try to avoid using these tools daily, and reduce your use of them to about once every two or three days. Use some protective serum on your hair beforehand, and moisturize your hair more on such days.

Use a good shampoo and conditioner that is specifically formulated for blonde hair, so as to maintain the blonde color for as long as possible. Use a color locking conditioner, which is usually provided with your hair color when you first dyed it.

You can also try using a cleansing shampoo or deep conditioning treatment at least once every week. This can remove any toxins that are in your hair and scalp and help towards making your blonde hair look and feel better.
