Things To Consider Before Going Blonde 

Going blonde is not always an easy task. Sometimes it can take 2-4 lightening sessions to get you where you’d like to be. Each session usually takes 2-4 hours depending on your length, denisty and starting colour/colour history.

Let’s talk maintenance. To maintain your beautiful blonde locks once you get to the desired level of blonde. You’ll need to come in every 8-10 weeks for an express or partial colour. every 3rd visit should be a full service.

Products are a very important part in going blonde. You’ll need to ensure you have a good mix of strengthening, restorative and toning products in your daily routine. Heat protection as well as masques will also be essential to keeping your blonde hair strong. Our favourite daily blonde shampoo is Gold Lust repair and restore shampoo/conditioner.

Expectations are always a tough one. We see so many bright and beautiful blondes online and we all think.. “I WANT THAT!” but the reality is we have to consider a few things. One, what is our starting point and what is our goal? When you lighten hair it can only lift so many level in one session. Secondly would be hair history. What have you done/put on your hair for the last 5-8 years? because depending on the length the years really matter. Having clear and open communication about expectations is the key to any lightening service.

You hair may feel PARCHED after going blonde. You need to make sure you give it moisture just like you do to your skin.

You may need to switch up your blush, bronzer or make-up routine depending on how blonde you go. If you opt for a warmer blonde your likely okay, but most blondes want ASH and ash can wash your skin tone out.

There are so many techniques to get you blonde. Make sure you ask your pro stylist about all the methods and choose what’s best for your budget, lifestyle and finished result.

Enjoy blondies,
