5 Types of Blonde Hair and the Right Care for Each
Blonde hair is beautiful, but it does require the right hair care. Bleaching or lightening your hair is one of the main causes of dry, damaged hair. So it’s important to take good care of your hair. You’ll also want to keep your ideal hair color for as long as possible. You can do this with neutralizing purple shampoos or color masks. In this blog, you’ll learn all about different types of blonde hair and the best ways to maintain them! This blog was written in collaboration with Kérastase.
1. Ash Blonde or Gray Blonde
Are you a fan of ash blonde hair? Then you want your hair as cool-toned as possible. This hair color is incredibly popular, but maintaining ash blonde or gray blonde hair isn’t always easy. Bleached hair almost always develops orange or yellow tones over time. This is caused by a chemical reaction that makes the pigments in the hair oxidize. Fortunately, you can neutralize these warm tones with the right purple shampoo. Also read our blog about purple shampoos. A purple shampoo contains purple pigments that neutralize orange or yellow undertones. You can control the intensity yourself with a purple shampoo. Leave the shampoo in briefly for subtle hair toning, or leave it in a little longer for a silver or even purple look. For a silver undertone in blonde hair, leave it in for one to five minutes. Leave it in longer, and your hair will develop a purple cast.
An ideal routine for gray blonde hair looks like this:
- Start with Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Shampoo. Leave the shampoo in for two to five minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
- Next, care for your hair with the Kérastase Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet Hair Mask. This hair mask neutralizes warm undertones for a cooler hair color. It also protects the hair from oxidation, helping prevent warm undertones from returning as quickly. Leave the mask in for five minutes, or ten minutes for intense toning.
- Finish your perfect routine with Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme Heat Protectant. This product protects hair from heat up to 230 degrees and contains UV filters to help preserve color for longer.
2. Blonde Highlights
How do you care for dark hair with blonde highlights? To keep your highlights looking beautiful for as long as possible, it’s important to use hair care products that won’t fade the color. Like bleached hair, blonde highlights can oxidize and change color. A color-protecting shampoo is a must for this. It helps preserve your hair color for as long as possible. You can also use a purple shampoo to counter coppery or yellow tones in your highlights.
Want the ideal routine for blonde highlights? Follow these steps:
- Your routine for beautiful blonde highlights starts with the brightening Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo. This shampoo brightens blonde hair and contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, edelweiss flower extract, and antioxidants to optimally protect your hair.
- Next, you can use the Kérastase Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet Hair Mask to gently neutralize the color and condition your hair.
- If you want to style your hair with hot tools, you can use Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme Heat Protectant to prevent heat damage and color fading.
3. Natural Blonde
Are you naturally blonde and looking for the right hair care? Hair care for blonde hair isn’t just for bleached hair. Natural blondes can also benefit from a good purple shampoo. A nourishing at-home routine for natural blonde hair looks like this:
- The Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo is ideal for natural blonde hair. This shampoo brightens and nourishes the hair, leaving it looking healthy and shiny.
- You can pair the shampoo with a matching conditioner, such as Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner. This conditioner repairs the hair fiber from within.
- For the ultimate protection for beautiful blonde hair, always use a heat protectant.
4. Caramel Blonde
Cool, silver blonde hair is a popular trend, but warm caramel blonde hair is also a super trendy look. Many women opt for this warm shade, especially in fall. It’s the perfect mix of blonde and brunette. This dark blonde shade looks beautifully natural and is relatively easy to maintain. You often don’t need to tone caramel blonde hair. However, it’s a good idea to use a color-protecting shampoo to preserve your hair color for as long as possible. To keep your caramel blonde style looking beautiful for as long as possible, follow these steps:
- You can choose a brightening shampoo to make your hair color more radiant and vibrant. The Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo is ideal for this.
- The hydrating Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner is perfect for caring for every type of blonde hair. This conditioner prevents breakage and makes hair easier to detangle.
- To protect your hair, add Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme Heat Protectant. This routine protects your hair from external aggressors and nourishes it for a radiant, healthy look.
5. Platinum Blonde
Are you going for platinum blonde hair? Then you’ll want your hair as light as possible, perhaps almost white. This striking look requires plenty of maintenance and care, especially if your natural hair is on the darker side. Here’s how to care for platinum or white blonde hair:
- To make white blonde hair cooler, you can use a purple shampoo. If you’d rather have a more neutral blonde shade, try Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo. This shampoo brightens the hair color without changing its tone.
- It’s very important to take good care of blonde hair, so always use a hair mask suited to your hair type or color. We recommend the Kérastase Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet Hair Mask to gently tone and condition your hair at the same time. This will help you keep your platinum blonde style under control at all times!
- Finish your routine with a nourishing heat protectant to protect your hair and color at all times.
