Everything You Need to Know About Caring for Blonde Hair!

Did you know? Our REF Silver Color shampoo and conditioner have been nominated for the Swedish Beauty Awards

What do we mean by "blonde hair"?

"Blonde" is the term used to describe a number of light hair colors that are found primarily in temperate climates. Did you know that less than 5% of the world's population has blonde hair?

Blonde hair is back in style, and you know what they say: “Blondes have more fun.” Whether it’s naturally blonde hair or bleached hair.

There are several different shades of blonde hair. Platinum blonde is very popular right now, and ash blonde is also in high demand. Sunny golden blonde is a lovely shade of blonde associated with the sun, sea, and beach. Think of a natural blonde hairstyle, where parts of the hair are lightened by the sun.

How do you take care of blonde hair?

Once you've dyed your hair blonde, it's important to maintain the color as best as possible. REF Stockholm is known for its Swedish blonde hair colors and offers a number of top-quality products to properly care for and maintain blonde hair.

Step 1: REF Cool Silver Shampoo

Wash your hair twice with the silver shampoo from REF Stockholm NL. When you wash your hair for the first time, you’ll notice that the shampoo doesn’t lather as much. During this wash, you cleanse the hair and open the cuticles so that when you wash it a second time, the nourishing ingredients in your shampoo can penetrate the hair. The Silver Shampoo contains organic blueberry oil, flaxseed oil, and blue and violet pigments. The Cool Silver line was developed for blondes to eliminate unwanted yellow tones.

Stap 2: REF Colour Boost Masque Ash Blonde

Apply REF's Colour Boost Masque to the ends of the hair. Let it sit for about 3–10 minutes. REF Colour Boost Masque quickly gives the hair a beautiful boost of pigment and new shine.

Step 3: REF Cool Silver Conditioner

Use the Cool Silver Conditioner to nourish your hair and seal the cuticles. Using a conditioner helps repair damage to the outer layer of your hair. The conditioner contains purple and blue pigments and is sulfate- and paraben-free, just like the entire REF hair care line.

Stap 4: REF Leave in Treatment

Apply the Leave-in Treatment to towel-dried hair after washing. The treatment contains organic coconut oil, jojoba oil, and naturally derived glycerin. It is an intensive serum with vegan protein and nourishing botanical extracts.

Step 5: REF Wonder Oil

The name says it all: REF Wonder Oil is the perfect finishing touch for your well-groomed blonde hairstyle. The oil gives your hair a beautiful shine and repairs damaged and dry ends. Wonder Oil protects against UV rays, making it perfect for daily use to shield your hair from the sun.

 Is there a difference between caring for natural blonde hair and colored or bleached blonde hair?

If you have naturally blonde hair, it’s likely to be healthier than if you’ve dyed your hair blonde. That’s why it’s especially important to take good care of your hair if you’ve dyed it blonde. The REF hair care line is perfect for this. Use the products in the step-by-step guide for perfectly cared-for blonde hair!  

Silver shampoo or regular shampoo for blonde hair?

If you have blonde hair, it’s important to use a shampoo designed for blonde hair. We recommend using the REF Cool Silver shampoo. This silver shampoo is specially formulated for blonde hair and neutralizes unwanted yellow tones and warmth in the hair. The silver shampoo is also ideal for maintaining the cool tone between washes. The silver shampoo can also be applied to dry hair; simply let it sit for a while for stunning results.

You can alternate the silver shampoo with the Illuminate Color Shampoo or, for example, the Intense Hydrate Shampoo. For instance, you could choose to use the REF Cool Silver collection once a week and the Intense Hydrate once a week. All REF hair care products contain protection against color fading and are 100% vegan.
