Tips for going blond?

[chichic91]

I'm looking to switch up my hair color for the summer and see if I like it. My current hair color is a light brown and is pretty thin. I've never changed my hair color at all so I'm looking for some tips and/or suggestions on products to use!

Going to second the others - olaplex in every step! You can use the salon locator on Sephora.com to find an olaplex salon local to you - and keep up with the #3 treatments at home as well! With blonde, patience is key. You may not get as blonde as you hoped in your first salon session, but with a little patience and good home care between visits, you’ll be there in no time, and with healthy hair.

@chichic91,

I in the process of going lighter again! My hair is naturally dark brown and I have been switching up my color for years. I suggest that making sure your hair is healthy to have it colored. I usually schedule a cut a few weeks before to remove the dead/dry ends. Going lighter with your hair is a process and it is better to schedule it over a few appointments rather than going light in one sitting (your hair will be healthier)! Also, make sure that you use a mask a few times a week!

Be really gentle with your hair after and don't over wash. Olaplex is a god send! To keep the colour from tinting make sure you have some purple shampoo and use a clear oil after washing ie rose. Good luck ❤️

Look into Olaplex both when dying the hair and aftercare. It will help it keep as healthy as possible from bleaching.
