Products I Use to Keep My Hair Blonder and Stronger

Remember my little breakdown last week when my blonde hair didn’t turn out as planned?  Trust me, I know first hand what it’s like when your hair doesn’t work out as planned! As a pretty dark brunette, it’s important to me to get and keep the right shade of blonde; orange hair will never do! When you have dark hair, you will need a lot of the right products to keep your hair strong and blonde once you bleach it. Here are some of my tried-and-true products I use daily and weekly!

Pravana | The Perfect Blonde: You probably remember me talking on my instastories about this magical purple shampoo. I use this product on the ends of my hair every time I wash my hair to keep the white/blonde I want! This is better for people who have a lighter natural hair color or have bleached their hair enough to achieve a white/silver blonde.

Pravana | The Perfect Brunette: This is the other product I pair with the shampoo above! If you have naturally dark hair, or your hair coloring is more caramel (and fades to orange and warm tones) you want this green shampoo to combat the ugly shades! I use this on the crown of my head to right below my ear-line every time I shampoo. *UPDATE: Be sure you are leaving this in your hair for a minimal amount of time. If it is left in your hair to long, it will leave a green tint to your hair *

Kérastase | Résistance Bain Force Architecte Shampoo and Conditioner: While I love purple and green shampoo, I still mix in another shampoo products to really clean my scalp. These are my favorite shampoo and conditioner combo for thick hair, coarse hair, curly hair, and color treated hair. They leave my hair feeling soft and healthy, and keep the frizz to a minimum.

Living Proof | Restore Perfecting Spray: If your hair gets tangly and unmanageable when wet, this is the product for you! I like to do 2-5 spritz on my hair and brush out with a wetbrush before I let my hair air dry or I blow dry my hair.

Kérastase | L’incroyable Blowdry: This is the perfect product to protect your hair when blow-drying it! It protects hair up to 450 degrees and has anti-frizz control. I put about three pumps (which is generous because I have a lot of hair) in my towel-dried hair before styling!

Navy Hair Care | Style Navigator: I ADORE this product. I spray it all over my hair, and then do small touch ups on various layers, when I am curling or straightening my strands. It protects from the intense heat that tools deliver. It comes out like hair spray, but doesn’t have the same “strong hold” feeling that I hate. I will often use it post-styling to add hold and shine to my tresses.

Moroccanoil | Protect & Prevent Spray: Did you know the sun can fade your hair color faster? When I think I will be outside for extended periods of time, I put this spray in my hair to protect. It also works as a leave-in conditioner. Bonus: it makes your hair smell SO GOOD.

Moroccanoil | Argan Oil for Hair and Body: You know when your hair feels dry, or even worse, is crunchy?! This is my go-to product to add moisture back into my already dry and styled hair! Dry hair can cause frizz and breakage, and this product prevents both! It also smells just as good as the protect spray mentioned above!
