Hair Medic Monday - Blonde Hair Colour

Julie Campbell posed this question to our hair medics, "I love my blonde hair, but it's a bit too bright and it's getting weak and dry from bleaching. My roots also seem to be showing too quickly. How can I keep my blonde, but not have to colour my hair as often so I keep damage to a minimum?"

Because bleaching is one block colour, Julie needed to have her roots bleached frequently to keep them from being obvious. Her hair was getting brittle and appeared dry. For Julie we recommended a full head of foils with different tones of blonde, which will be gentler on her hair and not as glary of a colour. It's much softer looking and and multi-tonal, giving Julie's hair a very natural, healthy look, while keeping the blonde she loves. Because it's multi-tonal, Julie's roots won't be as obvious as they grow in, so she won't have to get it coloured it as often.

In addtition to giving Julie a colour make-over, we applied a Matrix Protopack restructurizing treatment, which restores moisture balance and repairs fiber by infusing the hair with protein. Her hair now looks and feels much healthier. To maintain Julie's gorgeous colour, we suggest washing it with Matrix So Silver shampoo.
