CLEVER WAYS TO MAKE YOUR BLONDE HAIR BETTER

BANISH brassy, dry lengths for good with these clever new products and tips for getting your blonde hair brighter and in better condition than ever…

1 FIX YOUR ROOTS WITHOUT FUSS

FRESHLY dyed roots sadly never last long. Thankfully, L’Oréal Light Blonde Magic Retouch Root Concealer Spray for blondes with dark roots, £6.99, will help prolong the time between your colour appointments. Just shake the bottle and spritz the tint over the areas you want to cover and voilà – extra time in bed and extra time out of the salon.

2 BANISH BLEACHED BRITTLE ENDS

BLEACHING hair isn’t as harmful as it used to be, but you might still find your hair feels drier than usual right after lightening. Keep your lengths protected by using Olaplex Bond Maintenance Shampoo, £24, which is the takehome wash version of the salon treatment that gets added to bleach to stop your hair from breaking.

3 BEAT BRASSINESS

IF you favour a more icy shade of blonde, try IGK Mixed Feelings Leave-in Blonde Toning Drops, £25, to keep brassiness away. These purple drops can be added to your normal conditioner, or for a more potent effect, drop a couple into your styling product and use as a leave-in treatment. A couple of drops go a long way so you’ll get a lot of use out of one tube.

4 DON’T LET YOUR SHADE FADE

IF you’re lucky enough to be heading off somewhere hot, don’t forget to protect your hair as well as your body. Clarins Sun Care Oil Mist for Body & Hair UVA/ UVB 30, £22, will stop your colour fading in the sun and protect it from the rays that can frazzle your ends. Even better, you can use it on your body too and save baggage space!
