"For grey coverage clients who love their blonde, I love using the Color Protection Hair Bath by Oway," says John Blue, master hair colorist and owner of Chicago Salon Boss Hair Group. "It gently cleanses highlighted or colored hair while guarding color from fading with a powerful antioxidant blend of biodynamic red vine, organic goji berries, and fair trade kakadu plum." These ingredients come together to help prolong hair color, health and radiance, and by protecting against UV fading and damage.
Blue says that no client of his walks away without a customized hair color conditioner by Fabuloso Pro. "This pure-pigmented take home conditioner not only leaves the hair with incredible shine and vibrancy, but also deposits color that I can customize to match any in-salon color formula," he says. "It's a little 'colorist' in a bottle for easy, at-home maintenance to keep your blondes bright, golden, or cool and icy." While Blue customizes his colors for clients, you can purchase premade products online yourself.
In case you haven't noticed... neutralizing brass is really important for blondies. Our last neutralizing recommendation comes from Gina Rivera, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Phenix Salon Suites. "If you want to remove the brassiness in minutes at a great price point, give Kristin Ess products a try; it works extremely well on both colored or natural blonde hair," she says. "I like that it has the ability to restores the hair's shine and that it's gentle enough to use on a daily basis."
"Anyone who has dyed their hair blonde knows that the less you can wash your hair, the better, so dry shampoo is a must," says Fitzsimons. "This one is great because it not only has the rice starch to absorb oil, buildup, and odor, but it actually has subtle violet undertones to balance a blonde's worst enemy: brassiness."
Since dyed blonde hair tends to be more fragile, protecting it while styling is super important. Mesquit recommends Ouai's Memory Mist Heat Protectant because "it has a higher heat resistance than most at 450 degrees, and also helps hair to hold its style until your next wash."
