Get the Right Shampoo
If you have blonde hair it’s a good idea to wash it once a week with a purple shampoo. The colour purple is directly opposite yellow on a colour chart. That means, introducing purple to your hair will balance e out any hues of yellow starting to appear. In short, it will keep your hair looking brassy blonde and not straw yellow.
It’s best to choose a shampoo that uses natural ingredients and won’t dry your hair out. That’s why it’s so important to read the labels on all products; You really want to avoid anything with sulphates or silicones in.
The Right Tools
Heat is the enemy of all hair, especially artificial blondes. Lightening your hair involves stripping the cuticles which means your hair is more likely to dehydrate and become brittle. The best approach to looking after your brassy blonde hair is to avoid heat styling tools. However, for most people, this isn’t a plausible option.
In this case, you need to use heat protection spray first and, look for high-quality styling tools, such as those sold by Oz Hair & Beauty. They offer temperature controls, allowing you to minimize the heat applied to your hair.

That will leave them dull, dry, and brittle. It will also react with the bleach in your hair and potentially give it an orange hue.
The best option is to wear a hat, but you can use a heat protective spray if you prefer.
Hydrate
Your hair is mainly protein and water. To look and feel its best it needs to stay hydrated. Alongside using products to lock moisture in, you need to make sure your hair has access to enough water.

Wash In Cool Water
