How to Take Care of Blonde Hair

The care you give to your hair is important, and for blondes, more difficult and more noticeable.

Instructions

1. You may be tempted to highlight your hair to make it blonder, but this isn't good for it in the long run. Instead, sit in the sun with beer on your hair to naturally lighten it.

2. Deep-condition once a week to protect hair and make it softer. There are many deep conditioners available or you can make your own out of olive oil and avocados.

3. Brightening products like the ones by John Frieda are specially designed to make your hair look blonder and healthier. There are many out there, available a drug-store prices, and up.

4. Don't shampoo your ends, since it will make them brittle and messy-looking. Instead, wash the top and middle of your hair and let the shampoo run down. This is how they do it at the salon!

5. Don't overdo it on products. Make sure you are using the least amount of conditioner and other products that you can use, otherwise you will unnecessarily weigh your hair down.

6. Using frizz smoother or leave-in cream to keep your hair smooth and shiny. Again, don't overdo it or it will have the opposite effect!

7. Regular haircuts will keep your hair healthy and your ends looking good. Every 3 months is the minimum, but if you need to maintain a style, you need to go every 4-8 weeks.

8. Over-brushing will lead to split ends and breakage of the shaft. Brush only when you need to, not all the time! A better brush will make your hair look better. Natural bristle brushes are great, as are special "wet" brushes, for use with wet hair. They keep your hair from breaking if you need to brush while your hair is still damp.
