Although purple tinted hair products are absolutely ah-maze for combating brassy tones, repeated washing super light blonde tresses with lavender lotions could lead to your hair developing a slight lilac hue.

Our next tip to keep blonde hair bright you may not have thought of before… Now, if you want your tresses to keep that freshly dyed glow, it’s actually best to avoid washing your hair every day. This is due to the chlorine and iron deposits contained within unfiltered shower water therefore regular hair washing can actually work against lightened hair and instead leave them looking brassy, dry and dull so try and limit the amount of times you are washing your tresses. If you simply cannot bear the thought of skipping a day’s lathering action, why not compromise by freshening up your roots with the Tigi Catwalk Session Series Transforming Dry Shampoo. This will save time by refreshing your locks plus it serves to disguise any dark regrowth you may have, too!

Now, whilst we’re on the subject of chlorine and iron deposits that are present in shower and tap water, another tip on how to keep blonde hair bright is to change the water you use to wash your hair. Umm, what!? We hear you say. Well, the easiest way to do this is by investing in a shower filter.

However, thanks to it’s pure formulation it should work to leave blonde hair looking super vibrant and shiny.
HOW TO KEEP BLONDE HAIR BRIGHT: TIP #5
Last but not least , as much as we all love to see the sun shining away it’s warming rays can unfortunately have an unwelcome effect on blonde hair. Ugh! Annoyingly, the sun's exposure causes the melanin in hair to oxidise, turning blonde hair into a brassy shade. So, if you’re fully committed to keep your blonde hair bright, we recommend covering up your tresses with hats and/or scarves on sunny days. Alternatively, if hats aren’t an option for you be sure to defend your hair against the elements by misting it with the Argan Secret Miracle ‘10’ Leave-In Spray Treatment. This oil based spray will keep your blonde locks safe whilst nourishing them at the same time - a perfect combination, right!? : )
