Advice & Inspiration

It’s time for another review, and this time it’s on Redken’s amazing line: Blondage High Bright! As a blogger at JohnBeerens.com, I’m often lucky enough to get to try out products so I can explain to you in detail what I think of them and how they’ve worked for my hair. When I test out products, I’m always very mindful of various factors: what the packaging looks like, how the products smell, what the texture is like, and so on. In this blog post, I’ll be reviewing the products from the Redken Blondage High Bright line. This line helps maintain a bright blonde shade between salon visits, so your hair color always looks beautiful—even if your next trip to the salon takes a little longer than usual.

If you often have oily hair with dry ends, the “scalp-only” method might be perfect for you! Did you know that it’s usually not necessary at all to apply shampoo from the roots all the way to the ends?

Since you include the ends in your "hair-washing routine", you’ll dry it out and increase your risk of split ends and/or damaged hair. In this blog, we’ll tell you everything about washing your hair using the “scalp-only” method, what the benefits are, and which products are best to use for this.
