Happy August!
Now that we’re really in those “ dog days of summer” a lot of us have been brightening (or thinking of) up their hair color! Whether you are an all-the-time blonde or like to have some seasonal fun with color it’s important to remember, that once you lighten your hair the only time it’s gone is once that hair has been cut off. Even if you color over it, underneath it all (cue No Doubt) you still need to be caring for your hair as a blonde. This is why I’m not a huge supporter of the trend of going darker to “let your hair heal” unless your ultimate goal is to grow out all of your hair and cut off all of your previously blonde( which can take years depending on length!) under the darker shade of your choice. In my experience this tends to just cause more damage in the end because the blonde hair is missed and a once unnecessary ( but now necessary to remove the dark) chemical processes are then done to return to blonde. So what’s a blonde to do? Invest in yourself and your hair!
With all that being said, I'm excited to share my top five favorite Amika hair care products that are perfect for those of us who are blondes at heart and thanks to the salon. Amika has a fantastic range of products that cater to various hair needs, but these five are absolute must-haves for maintaining beautiful and healthy blonde hair!
Let's start with a game-changer for all you lovely blondes out there! That fabulous blonde shade is a breeze with this leave-in mask. The Bust Your Brass Leave-In Mask is specifically formulated to neutralize yellow and brassy tones that often creep into colored blonde hair. It works wonders to keep your blonde looking fresh and bright while deeply nourishing and strengthening your hair.
After all the coloring and heat styling, your blonde locks might need a little extra TLC. The Wizard Detangling Primer is a true hair savior. It not only detangles knots and snarls but also protects your hair from heat damage. This multi-purpose product is a must-have in your hair care routine to maintain the health and integrity of your strands.
Blonde hair deserves all the love and protection it can get, especially when facing high temperatures from hot tools. The Blockade Heat Defense Serum forms a protective shield around your hair, safeguarding it from heat damage. It also helps to seal in moisture, leaving your blonde tresses looking sleek, shiny, and healthy.
We all have those days when washing our hair is just not an option. For those in-between days, the Perk Up Dry Shampoo comes to the rescue! It refreshes your hair, absorbs excess oil, and adds volume without leaving any residue behind. It's perfect for maintaining your blonde color and style while extending the time between washes.
Treat your beautiful blonde locks to some extra love while you sleep! The Dream Routine Overnight Hydration Treatment is a dream come true for dry, color-treated hair.
