Why does Blonde look dull?

Blondes- do you feel like your hair lacks shine?

Darker hair reflects light while lighter hair (blonde) absorbs light. So how do you get your hair to have some shine?

• Deep condition- keep the health and integrity of your hair intact by keeping it hydrated and moisturized

• Quality of water - hard water deposits minerals etc and can make hair look dull & even brassy. Invest in a shower head and/or filter that improves the water quality.

• shine serum/oil/tonic- certain products can help to increase the “glow” and shine.

• Trim- get your ends trimmed regularly to remove damaged hair that can add to the dreaded “dull” factor

• clarifying shampoo- this is not something that should be used as a daily shampoo as it is intended to “strip” the hair of buildup, impurities, etc (it can also remove toner) but it can be used occasionally to remove buildup and is great to use before you get your color done.

• cold air- yup! You read that correctly! Cold hair helps to close the hair cuticle and smooth it out which makes the hair shiny. (Using cooler water to rinse out shampoo/conditioner will help too)
