how to maintain blonde hair

Having troubles with your blonde hair???

Don't worry! CYNTHIA to the rescue! :D

Problem 1: Yellowing of hair

People, blone is a shade of yellow. BELIEVE IT. After dying your hair a certain period, you will notice that your hair is more yellow compared to before. To maintain the colour you dyed in the salon, you can't just use normal shampoo for coloured hair. You have to use BLONDE shampoo. Yes, there are such things.

Shampooing our hair opens our hair cuticle. this is how it looks like! If you ONLY shampoo your hair, after drying you can feel that your hair will be more rough and less tame.

To close the cuticles, we can use conditioner or hair treatment. Personally, I prefer to use treatment as conditioner weighs down my hair making it flat. :(

So here's a picture of my shampoo and hair treatment! :) Purple somemore! <3

This shampoo and treatment are damn effective! It managed to solve the yellowing problem! And it kept my hair soft, even after 4x bleaching... omg!

Problem 2: Roots

DAMNNN THE GROWING ROOTS. Its a problem that everyone face (obviously other than those who don't dye their hair). Unfortunately, only the hair salon can solve this problem for you. BUT! I have a temporary solution! :D

AND it is to wear a cap/hat or whatever you can find to cover them. HAHAHA! sounds lame right? BUTTTT think of it. If you were to go to an amusement park (Photo of me taken in the amusement park), you can't possibly wear necklaces and tons of bangles. Accessories are to be kept to a minimum if you were to go to such places. SOOOO, a cap in this scenario sounds good RIGHTTT! To summarize it all, there is a cap/hat in every occasion.

Problem 3: Dry hair

Sadly, bleaching your hair causes A WHOLE DAMN LOT of damage to your locks. What I did at first was to visit the salon weekly to do hair treatments. As I got busier with school, it was impossible to visit the salon that frequently. Luckily for me, I found this!

The credits are NOT solely due to the 3 bottles shown in the picture above. They are complements to a new treatment known as keratherapy. Its a keratin infused treatment that is supposed to strengthen your hair, enhance the hair colour and to make it smoother. AND THE BEST THING IS the treatment lasts for WEEKS. It lasted about 8-9 weeks for me? I alternate the blonde shampoo and keratherapy shampoo between days.

Problem 4: unnatural look

The unnatural look is mostly due to a mismatch of eyebrows. Eyebrows are important! It can sharpen up your looks or make you look sloppy. Trimming it is DAMN important! but that is not the point here. If you are not a natural blonde, you will not have blonde eyebrows or anything close. And it's damn weird to have blonde hair matched with dark eyebrows. I'm not saying to dye your eyebrows blonde, in most cases people can't accept the look. Just dye it to a brown that super light? like light chestnut? you can DIY, or go to beauty salons to do it. It shouldn't be expensive. I did my brows once in brow house and it caused me like 20 bucks. Well, acceptable! :) For DIY REFER TO THE TUTORIAL IN THE BLOG!

Well, these are the problems that I faced. hope it can be help to you all! :D
p.s. Sadly, I'm gonna change my hair colour soon. no more blonde :(
