How to Keep Blond Hair Healthy
- 1). Wash and condition your hair on a daily basis. Since blond hair tends to be thin and fine, it can be prone to dryness. Consider a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Many shampoos have formulas specifically designed for blond hair color. Redken and Pantene are two examples of these types of shampoo. Consider a volumizing shampoo to help your thin blond hair to appear more full. Daily washing is beneficial not only for cleaning but also for reducing oiliness, which is more evident in light-colored hair. Even if you have dry locks, a long day can leave you with an oily scalp. Regular conditioning will help your hair stay sleek and make it easier to comb and detangle without breaking after showering.
- 2). Use limited styling products. Use a small amount of mousse or volumizing hairspray to give your thin blond hair an appearance of fullness. You may want to use a silk oil treatment such as Bio Silk on the ends of your hair to add to the sleek look and to help prevent flyaway hair. Use only a drop or two of Bio Silk on the ends of your hair before blow drying. Using too much will make your hair look greasy. If you must skip a day of washing, shake a small amount of baby powder onto your scalp to absorb any oil. Comb it through your hair.
- 3). Have your hair trimmed regularly. Regular trimming will help prevent split ends.
- 4). Protect your blond hair from harsh chemicals. Because of its light color, blond hair is susceptible to outside elements. If you go swimming in chlorine, wash your hair immediately afterward. Regular exposure to chlorine without proper care could cause your blond hair to turn green. Additionally, have your stylist professionally highlight or dye your hair if it becomes too dark for your tastes. At-home remedies and store-bought products can be harsh for fine blond hair.
- 5). Eat a healthy diet. If you are malnourished or lacking certain vitamins, it will show in the health of your hair, among other places. You may want to add a multivitamin to your daily routine.
