Hair pros like us will urge you not to skip proper after care so you can so you can enjoy your newly blonde hair.

#1 Use a gentle, sulfate free shampoo
Sulfate free shampoos not only help maintain the color added back into your hair but it’s also gentle enough not to over strip strands prone to drying from bleach. Choose a sulfate free and nourishing shampoo that can help hair bounce back.
We recommend using Davines NOUNOU Shampoo , P1,195, which deeply nourishes dry hair to keep blonde locks soft and silky.

#2 Apply a Bond Builder Home Treatment
Another essential hair care to have post-bleach are bond builders. A home bond builder treatment like the cult-fave Olaplex No. 3, P2,300, acts as a scaffolding for your weakened strands, to reduce breakage and restore your hair’s health. For a natural and nourishing option try AVEDA Botanical Repair™ Intensive Strengthening Masque: Rich P3,200, an all natural vegan bond building treatment that leaves hair visibly healthier, softer and shinier after just one use.

#3 Use Purple Toning Products
After weeks enjoying your blonde strands, you may start noticing your color beginning to fade and your locks looking brassy. Keep your hair looking salon-fresh by using purple toning products, like Kérastase Blond Absolu Anti-Brass Shampoo, P1,750. This set neutralizes unwanted brassy tones and illuminates blonde shades for added shine. You can also explore L'Oreal Serie Expert Silver Shampoo, P850, which is enriched with magnesium and anti-yellowing agents to counteract brass.
#4 Add a Weekly Protein Treatment
Home protein treatments can help strands regain their strength and improve the overall texture of the hair. For best results, use a protein treatment once a week to help strengthen strands and restructure hair cuticles to make them more resilient.
Explore using Davines Melu Conditioner, P1,295, that moisturizes hair and nourishes the ends to prevent hair breakage.
