HOW TO MAINTAIN HONEY BLONDE HAIR

Now that you have your new warm honey blonde hair color, you want to make sure you get the most out of all your hard work! The key to maintaining your updated hair color is to use a hair care line that’s safe for color treated hair. The L’Oréal Paris Repair & Defend Shampoo, L’Oréal Paris Repair and Defend Conditioner, and the L’Oréal Paris Repair Remedy Balm have sulfate-free formulas and are color safe, making the hair care system a prime pick for use post-dye job. The line takes care of damaged hair, helps strengthen strands, and will renew your color. To give your newly dyed locks some extra TLC, use a hair mask like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Deep Moisture Hair Sheet Mask to envelope your hair in a layer of nourishing cream and help replenish moisture.

Another way to help your color last and keep your hair healthy is to opt to rock heat free hairstyles, as opposed to always using your blow dryer, flat iron, and curling iron. To give air drying a try, spray the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray throughout your towel-dried hair and scrunch before letting it finish drying. The wave spray will help to define your hair’s natural shape and texture. If you have naturally straight hair or want some extra definition, put your hair into braids after spritzing with the styling.
