Spring is almost here, and that means it’s time to start planning your spring hair style. If you’re lightening your hair for spring, make sure to talk to your stylist about your expectations and follow these five steps to make sure your new look stays luxurious for months to come:
When it comes to primping your mane, make sure the color you pick blends well with your skin tone. Talk to your stylist about whether you should go with a warmer tone, or a cooler shade of blonde.
Make sure that after lightening your hair for spring, you pay attention to the products you’re putting on your new ‘do. Use color-safe styling products and shampoo to help protect and condition the follicles.
In addition to the specialized products, make sure to also get your daily requirement of vitamins when lightening your hair for spring. Vitamin B, C, and Niacin are all shown to improve the health of the hair and are essential for growth so double check your multi-vitamin to see how much you’re getting each day.
Healthy-looking outsides are a cause of healthy insides, so make sure you’re keeping your body well hydrated. Frizzy, dry hair can be a sign of dehydration, so make sure to keep your water bottle handy.
Lightened locks can become dry and split easily, so adding a deep conditioner or mask to your regimen can help restore moisture and strengthen the shaft of the follicle. Try to add a restorative and conditioning treatment a few times a month (or once a week if you’re out in the sun a lot), this will help keep frizz and dryness down to a minimum.
Changing up your look for warmer weather is a great way to get rid of the doldrums, so make sure to talk first with your stylist about which options are the best for you, then go flaunt those beautiful new locks!
