How to look after your blonde hair (6 tips)
They say blondes have more fun, but all those good times need a boost when it comes to hair care. So, if you’re thinking about lightening your hair, get prepared with all the tools, products, and tips you need to keep your locks healthy, shiny, and soft.
Here are 6 tips for caring for your blonde hair:
1. Keep it hydrated.
The bleaching process strips your hair of its natural oils and nutrients, leaving it dry, brittle, and stringy.
The solution: regularly condition your hair with a moisturizing treatment and conditioner, like the Bond Restore Treatment No. 3 and Bond Strengthening Conditioner No. 5.
2. Protect your hair from heat
After lightening, your hair cuticle is completely stripped, and it can’t hold onto the nutrients it needs. Applying heat with a blow dryer, straightener, or curler only makes the damage worse and dulls your shine.
Instead, opt for cute updos, braids and buns after your blowout loses its luster. Just be sure not to pull too tight on sensitive edges. If you do need to use heat, always prep your hair with a quality heat protectant and lower the temperature setting on your tools.
Bold Uniq has created a vegan and cruelty-free heat shield that has been specifically designed for blonde, platinum & silver/gray hair.
Protect and subtly reduce brassiness and yellow tones in one go.

3. Avoid harsh UV rays.
You probably already know the damage UV rays can do to your skin, but did you know that the sun can also turn your newly bleached tresses a brassy, yellow color? Not to mention, the harsh rays can dry out your hair, leaving it brittle and straw-like.
Fortunately for you, it’s easy to reverse the effects of a sunny day with the right products. The BOLD UNIQ Purple Shampoo is a powerful formulation designed to completely remove all unwanted yellow tones and restore that fresh, salon color — even after two weeks of exposure!
4. Stay away from sulfates.
Sulfates are a big no-no when it comes to maintaining healthy hair. The BOLDPLEX regime product — along with all BOLD UNIQ products — are always sulfate-free.
5. Give your hair a cold rinse.
There’s nothing better than a warm cleanse that lifts dirt and oil from your hair. However, that hot water can continue stripping your hair of its natural oils.
Giving your hair a final cool rinse helps close the cuticle to seal in moisture, leaving your hair lustrous and shiny.
6. Do weekly treatments.
Keeping your hair healthy is an ongoing process. Carve out time each week to give your hair a deep restorative treatment with your Bond Restore Treatment No. 3 — the longer you leave it on, the better it works.
Plus, when you follow up your treatment with a deeply hydrating conditioner, like our Bond Strengthening Conditioner No. 5, you get a dose of moisture deep within your hair strands that keeps your hair soft and smooth.
